Teacfeiac Deaf CMMrea to Talk. One of the most interesting feat t.ies of the educational department at the Slate Fair was the demons trations given by Mrs. Hurd, chief of the oral department of the School for the Deaf and Donbst Morgan tan. and by Mr. E C. Huid. teacher ia advanced oral of the same institution. They had with them a class of seven pupils. A Post man had the pleasure of witnessing a demonstration with five of these pupils, iotsr of whotp were totally deaf from birth and had never heard a sound of any kind. One of them, a little girl named Maud Hnnis. of Buie's Creek, has been in the Morganton school about one year and has learned to speak words, but is not able yet to frame sentences. An. other one, Xamer Pike, of Pomona, has been' under instruction for about two yean aad has acquired a vocabulary of considerable length and is able to construct a number of intelligent sentences, speaking with remarkable distinctness when it is considered that he has never heard a sound The other three were ladies near ly grown who hate had instruction for five to seven years. They are Misses Mutiny HartseD. of Locust, Stanly county, Emms Pike, of Po mona, and Hattie Bradsbaw, of Ce dar Cliff, Alamance county. The latter can hear just a little, not en ough, however, to receive instruc tion through the medium of bear ing. They are bright, intelligent girls, and while their speech is broken and at times a little difficult to understand, yet the benefit tjiey have received is great, little short of wonderfuL These children have learned to understand questions largely by the movement of the lips, and after a little pt setae It is not difficult to converse with them. From a short I interview with them and their ac- J complished teachers a fuller realiz ation was bad of the great work of the school at Morganton. Light a:ul intelligence is thrown into the soul and life of many bovs and girls who, uitbout the instruction given, would be doomed to sit through life in dumb ignorance. They can not be taught as other children who can bear. The child with hearing begins school with the ability to talk and understands the meaning of words. The deaf child knows cothing because it has never heard any thing. The majority of mutes arc rendered so because they cannot hear and not knowing what sound is like do not know bow to make it Mr. and Mrs. Hurd left yester day afternoon for Morganton with their interesting class.—Raleigh Post.

New Jersey Commissioner of Public Roads: Bad roads are cost ing many a farmer much of the self-ri spect he feels alien driving along a 'good road at a good place, with clean buggy, clean harness and a clean liorse. J. A. Mount, cx Governor of Indiana: The man who lives sur rounded with good highways, who sees a good turnout going by, driv ing rapidly, with handsomely dressed people in the conveyance, will think more quickly, lias more pride and is apt to catch inspira tion and become more active and progressive. "f W. W. Pendcrgast: To sum np, a perfect highway is a thing of beauty an# joy forever. It blesses every home by which it passes. It brings into pleasant communion people who otherwise would have remained at a perpetual distance. It awakens emulation, cements friendships and adds new charm to social life. It makes the region it traverses more attractive, the resi dences more delightful; it stimu lates a spirit of genial improvement Fields begin to look tidier, shabby fences disappear, gardens grow fewer weeds, lawns are better kef*, the houses s en. cosier, trees are planted along its benders, birds fill the air with music, the world seems brighter and the atmosphere purer. The country is awake, patriotism revives, philanthropy bloaonw as selfishness fades and sinks from view. The schoolhouse and the church fed the magic influence — the wand of progress has touched rven them; the old are young again, the young see something new to live for, aad to all life seems worth the living.

In the South were .planted last spring about sixty million acres in corn. These wouM average abiut ; one and a half tons of tails per acre at a low estimate. This would give us ninety million tons of stalks. If cut and cured and shredded these would make ninety | million tons of good luty. In many parts of the country hay sells at fifteen to twenty dollars per tou, so we think it is safe to value the en tire output at ten dollars. This would give us nine hundred million dollars as the value of the corn stalk crop of the South for one year. This Is twice the value of the eotton crop, Inctading the seed. You say this is too much. We . think not. This estimate takes in Virginia Kentucky, Tennessee, as well as all the other cotton produc ing States, and we think is under rather than over the true area, We are suffering most of these to go to waste. We are letting them rot or burning them. This is a loss that good farming cannot suffer to go on. Because we did not know the value of corn stalks a few years since is not a good reason why we should not tnke care of them now that we do know their value lVst ignorance does not justify present and future waste. I A few years since we did not know the value of cotton-seed. Now •no man thinks of throwing* away his cetton-.seed. But the corn-stalks arc worth more than the cotton seed. If a farmer plants ten acres in J cotton and ten acres of com to I each plqjv, his cotton seed will lie worth about twenty dollars and his corn-stalks one hundred and fifty dollars, allowing twenty cents per bushel for seed and ten dollars per ton for hay. These figures are so astonishing that you can hardly lielieve them. The cotton-seed arc worth about two dollars, th? corn-stalks about fifteen dollars. The cotton averages about one bale to three acres, or one thousand pounds of seed to three acres The fanners do not average over six dollars per bale for their cotton-seed. Take the bottom and upland corn—the Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Mississippi liottoms and Texas corn crops, and we will find over au average of one and a 1 half tons of stalks per acre. This enormous waste should lx stopped at once TheVorn stalks should be cut and shredded, j Shredded corn for feed is no, longer au experiment. Its value has been proven by all kinds of tests. Anal- 1 ysis shows it to be among the best I hays. Feeding tests show it to be equal to the 1 average for cattle and horses. Dairy herds feed exclus ively this kind of hay and do not , lose anything ill milk or butter 1 yield, and show improved quality l of both milk and butter. Corn stovar is better than hulls J for dairy use. The stalks arc j worth saving even after the fodder . has been pulled.—Dr. J. B.

BURKED AT STAKE. Sardis, Miss.. November I—One negro, name unknown, has been bunted -at the stake and two white men, implicated by the negro in his dviug confession, are being heldby a posse pending an investigation in tlie murder of K. O. Jackson and a mill owner named Ro.elle at Dar ling, Miss., Wednesday night. The negro was burned at Dar ling night by a r.iob o-»nipor4 of four thousand persons from Iwtli races. Just ltcfore the lighting of the funeral pyre thecapturcd negro confessed that he hr.«l committed the double murder, with the assis tance of two white men. The mo tive was robbery and a considerable sum was secured, which the negro stated was divided among he three. After the burning a posse went in search of the two white tucu aud soon captured them. They are be ing held pending an investigation of their guilt or innocence and it is believed that a double lynching will follow if guilt is proven conclusive ly. The names of the persons arc known. Darling, Miss., is a small station on the Cormorant branch of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroad, about twenty-five miles from this point, with no direct tele graphic communication. loiter it was learned that the two white men were released by the mob, an alibi having been proven by each man. No further trouble is expected to night. A child, of Mrs. (>o. T. Benson, when getting his usual Saturday night bath, stepped back again* a hot stove which Imruetl htm sevetely.

M. de Windt, no donht onac -1 count of the suggestive sound of his name, has failed to convince > the phlegmatic pnhlic that the trans-Alaska-Siberia railway is not merely a whiff of "hot air." With true Gallic enlhusiawn.Qoartermas , tcr General Pavot, of the I f rei»ch army, in his report on the "Projet > Loicq dc Lobcl," has come to tlie rescue and demonstrated that it will a matter of time when ' "solid vcstibulcd electric-lighted modern trains, the finest in the , world," will bertmuing direct from New York to Paris. Of course, it will take 'somewhat longer to get 1 to Paris by this route, three or four times as long. But that does not ' count. Think of the comfort and 1 the scenery. Besides, there will be the experience of traveling under the Bering Strait. But better titan I all this, the patriotic Frenchman of I'aris and his dear brother of New r York, will be spared the humilia tion of traveling over the Atlantic, which perfidious Albion has been > made its fishing pond. And how many, many miles, too may ooc travel through the dominions of the czar, the desperately loved ally of Johnny Crapaud! From Paris comes the intelli gence that M. I.oictj de Lobel's iuggcstiou of 'New York to Paris" railway "has roused from Seattle to Boston an ardent approval of the popular masses, as well as the ra -1 tioual adherence of financial men and engineers." The coal -strike ' was not in it, if we are to expect the Pavot version. Equal enthus iasm lias lieen aroused in France, and Russia regards it with high but dignified favor. General Pavot cannot fail to be right, even though the contents of his report "hawl not the pretension to give* a lesson ; to well-informed people; they will present shares of information to the 1 workers who study without settled determination the questions of their time."

Origin ol the Weeping Willow. The weeping-willow-tree came to America through the medium ol Alexander Pope, who planted a wil low twig on the banks of the Thames, at his Twickenham villa. The twig came to him in a boi ol igt sent who had lost all in the South Sea Rubble and had gone to that dis tant land to recoup his fortune*. Harper's Encyclopaedia of United States History tells the story of Ihe willow's arrival in America. A young British otlicer, wl>o came to Boston with the army to crush the rebellion of the American colonies, ■ brought with him a twig from Pope's now beautiful »illow tree, intending to plant it in America when he should comfortably settle down on lands confiscated from the conquered Americans.
