We have often spoken of the inn
Lportancc and dignity of farming
as a pursuit, and yet in the face
of the great advancement that
has been made in lste years, there
are two many farmers who regard
themselves as literally, "toilers,n
without aspirations for higher attain
ments and without premise of inn
provement in the future. We repeat
what we have often said, that farm
ing is not simply profession, but of
all professions, in its practice, it en-
braces the very widest range of sci
entific truths and actual facts, and it
cannot be disputed that in this pur-
suit we have afforded the widest
field for the analytic mind. But how
few of those who own vast acres will
ever pause to inquire into the infiu-
ences they start to work, orask con-
corning the causee which led to such
important results.
As at present conducted, there is q
large amount of very difficult labor
required to be performed in farming.
There is no excellence attainable
without effort, and the farmer who
can command the respect of his fell
low men and the confidence of the
entire community, by the success he
achieves, has Just cause for pride.
Science and human skill are required
to effect the results we all desire to
see, and when our farmers, generally,
with a higher appreciation of their
capacities, and truer estimate of
the results they bring about, will
earnestly labor to make their pur-
suit attractive and profitable, there
will be less cause for complaint.
The remark oft-quoted is, that farm
ing is the most independent of all the
callings Of life. This may be true
sometimes, but it is not true i'm every
case. To become really successful in
farming, the latest development, of
science, bearing on agriculture, must
be properly estimated. Care, atten-
ton, earnestness, and industry, are
che qualities demanded, and we speak
of this now only to impress on the
minds of many that success is attain
able only by unremitting exert;on.
There must be constant desire to
improve, but, unfortunately, too
many farmers think that when they
attain a certain degree of success
that there is no longer an incentive
or inducement to increased exertion.

PATENT SILVER MOULD WHITE
WIRE
CLOTHES LINE !

To the Ladies of Mdury and 4djob,iRg
Counties:
WE ASK THE PRIVILEGE OF SOLIC-
w iting your attention to our new quality
of Clothes Line Wire, Manufactured in such a
manner, Of white metallic substance, that it Is
prevented from ever corroding or changing
from its beautiful white color during any num-
Der of years. We guarantee IT to be perpetual
ly infallible against rust, and after you have
used it we are confident that you will ccncur
with the statements of thousands of families
loud in its praise who have it in use.
The following are the advantages gained by
sing these Patent White Wire Clot hes Lines:
LIST. They are truly an ornament wherever
placed, always retaining that shining whiteness,
are forever clean and never have to be taken in,
no matter what the weather may be, water or
frost cannot effect them.
I'd. The Durability of this Wire Line is one of
the greatest considerations, as it will last from
thirty 10 fifty years, and during that time you
will wear out gleat many common lines, be-
sides being obliged to put up with al immense
amount of trouble with them.
Cd. After it is put up and wiped of it is al
ways clean, while rope line is moe or less
exposed to dust and dirt and must DC washed
before it Is used or il will soil the clothes.
4th. BY actual experience il is found to be by
far the cheapest clothes line, beside. its great
convenience. This will last a lifetime
5th. You can never hang it too heavily with
clothes.
9th Another Of the chief advanta yes of this
line over the rope line is that clothes Of any kind
will not freeze to it in cold wealth II, and the
finest fabrics can be removed at any time with
out injury. A rope line will always absorb
more or less moisture from the clothes, and in
cold weather will freeze through and through,
and thin articles cannot be removed without a
liability of tearing them. While the wire being
of pure metallic substance does not absorb
the slightest moisture, consequently there can
not be frost enoughformed to cause an adhesion,
and even the finest gauze can be removed from
the line without injuring it In the least.
9Th. The alkalics now being used in the pat
ent soaps have net the least effect ON the White
Wire Lines. They dry quick and escape.
Sth. 1t will save you its price in saving you
time and trouble every six months you own il.
9th. II never will break and drop clothes IN
to the mud. The old rope line is frequently the
cause of a whole day extra washing. This one
thing alone is enough to condemn the Ole STYLE
OF lines fareyer, and call into reguisition an ar
ticle that is free from all such provoking annoy
ances, something strong, clean and durable
Get the Patent Everlasting White Wire Line,
then you have it right.

Of occupation. and the entry Of deta .chment
of french troops for the first time. in many
months. The Prusslans departed at an early.
hour in the morning, and f'.reat crowd, of
the Inhabitants, mostly "blo' ases y assembled
to see them of. There " as no disturbance
whatever, but both pa ties were evidently
glad to get rid Of one another-the Germans
delighted to be f.omeward bound, and the
French wishing them a sarcastic "bon voy-
age" In a fe-S hours, the sound of a military
band ammo '.inced the welcome advent OF a
Frepch Regiment. This was the signal for the
greatest excitement. The balconies, windows
and ioorways were crowded with faces radi-
aat with delight, and forest of tri-eolor fass
waved along the whole length of the street.
MANY were the congratulations and en-
bracings, and hand-shakings, and everything
seemed to indicate an indefinitely extended
era of good feeling, until the neWly-arriVed
soldiers bethought themselves Of the persons
who were presumed to have harooreo the,
Prrssians, and characterlstically commenced
to hunt them down. However, they tired of
this sport before any blood was shed, and
darkness settled down upon a happy city.

The Last Hope OF North Carolina.


The defeat OF the call for the Convention
in North Carolina is attributed by the Will
mihgton Journal TO apprehensions OF Fed
oral uioianoo and usurpatiop, and to glaring
fraud. The people were afraid OF more
'.cannon and reconstruction" and many OF
them we're deferred in this way from voting
for the Convention. The Journal now de-
mands that the Legislature ''give the people
"another fair opportunity to rid themselves
'of the taxation that must otherwise beg
"gar them," and invites that body to pass
the revenue law early in November. Then
let this question be submitted to the people:
Convention and no tax" or 'No Conven-
stion and tax" II the Convention is order
ed, the law to be imperative; otherwise the
revenue must be collected. There is no es-
Gaping the latter alternative, and with the
tax gatherer looming in the distance, the
people, at whatever risk, would adopt new
Constitution, and save themselves from lie
ruin with which they are threatened.

The Other Side-Statement Of the Pur
chasers OF the Stl.te Stock.

We are requested by one OF the associa-
tion who recently purchased the State stock
of the Blue Ridge Railroad TO state that
the interest of the citizens OF the State,
united with the newly elected City Council!
of Charleston, will control the election OF
directors, next November, at the annual
meeting Of the stockholders, at which time
the term Of the present board of-directors
will expire. Gentlemen, we are assured,
will then be elected who will press the road
to completion. The bonds, it is urged, can
only be used to build the road and pay its
debts and under the new association and
directors this will be vigorously pushed
forward.
MIR. Cameron was requested by President
Harrison and MIR. Steers to act as trustee,
and accepted the trust to get the bonds out
OF the hands Of the New York courts, where
they had been epjoined, so that Mr. Steers
might prosecute his contract in building the
read.
