VyHE COOKING STOVES manufactured atoul
i works in Greensboro, N. G., give universal
satisfaction wherever introduced. They are made
of the BEST SCOTCH PIG METAL, with heav.
ier and thicker plate than any other Stove in tht
market, and consequently will the longer with
stand heat and hard usage. They are of hand
some pattern and neat finish, and warranted equal
in every other respect to any Cooking Stove sold
in the United States while is confidently claimed
that they are the CHEAPEST. All the usual
pieces of ware and cooking utensils are furnished
with each Stove. An important consideration
with purchasers is the fact that our patterns and
sizes are never changed. Should piece get acc-
dentally broken at any time, we can replace 1t at
the mere cost of casting. Not simply because it
is a home production, buton account ofits intrin-
sic merits as an article Of household economy, do
we ask the patronage of home purchasers. More
than ONE THOUSAND Of these Stoves are now
in use, and among many others having them we
respectfully refer to the following: R. E. Guthrie,

AN UNsYMPATH1z1NG VoTER.-They say
that the politician who isn't enthusiastic in
the case Of his party is no politician at all,
and this may be the motive mental power
that forces some politicians to extremes.
In charter election held in Western
town, the other day, enthusiasm ran high,
and both parties made lively effort to get
out the full party vote. About an hour be-
fore the polls closed it was discovered that
the leading candidate on one ticket was one
vote ahead, and with no prospect that he
could secure another vote. The opposition
polled its, full strength, but suddenly remem-
bered that a faithful member was on bed
of sickness. A carriage was driven to his
house, and the sick mans wife met the COM
mittee at the door.
"My husband is at the point of DEATH" she
sadly replied to their interrogatories.
"Couldn't we carry him on lounge?" quer.
led one of the men.
"He may not live two hours" she replied.
"Couldn't four of US take him on bed? p
continued the man.
81 think he is dying even now," she an
swered.
"Does he know we are here?"
"He is unconscious"
"Dear mel" sighed the man, as he turned
away. 81 don't see how he can wilfully and
deliberately lie down and die when his one
vote would scoop the opposition higher than
a kitew

WATERING PoULTRY.-It is the belief of
the writer that very many of the diseases Incl
dent to poultry are due to the neglect in pro-
viding them with pure water; particularly
do believe such to be the case in the major
ity of instances where chicken cholera pre-
walls. The omission to furnish fowls with
suitable drinking water, is one of the worst
features of cruelty to animals 1t is neg
lect that is decidedly adverse to success, hence
tends to diminish indiyidual fancy for fowls,
and works detriment to poultry interests
Those whom we occasionally hear say that
'there is no profit in poultry" are not quail
fed to have the management of the same,
and in their attentions may be classed with
the thrifless and neglectful parties who keep
fowls that get drink only when it rains

SERIAL STORIES.

written expressly for its columns.
AS a non-partisan, independent family newspa-
per, the future editorial conduct Of the ENQUIRER
can be as we'll judged by the past as by any prom
ise which we might now feel disposed to make.
An experience of thirty-ave years in the newspa-
per business-of which time at least one-half has
been unremittingly devoted to the management
of the ENouIRER-fully convinces the proprietor
that the plan he adopted on assuming control of
the paper, is the correct mode ofjournaism in the
present day. The true mission of the newspaper
Is to place before the public facts as they may exist
unbiased by partisan feelings or sinister motives
and the proprety of this course is fully attested,
not only by the success Of the ENQUIRER, which
truthfully claim the largest circulation Of any
country newspaper in the South, buta by many
other of the most popular and widely circulated
papers of the day. The course thus indicated we
shall continue to pursue, aiming to publish a
LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
which shall be welcome visitorto the Home Cir
ce and acceptable alike to all classes of readers
Hence, the news department of the ENQUIRER,
whether of matters at home or abroad-political or
otherwise-willb be conducted with the utmost care,
and only facts they seem to exist, will be pre-
sented free from sectional or party bias. -

IMMIGRATION.

For the last few years, the hobby with a
multitude of our Southern farmers has been
immigration. The doctrine that our country
is too sparsely populated is constantly stated,
and efforts are made to induce persons to come
from any and every part Of the world to fill
up the unoccupied territory. There is no
question about the sparseness Of the popula-
ton of the Southern country but there is
something strange about the thing, after all.
1t depends very much upon the character Of
the immigrants, whether we need any to come
into our midst. We already have two classes
of citizens too many. They area nuisance to
the country, and would be to any country.
Hence, we feel morally bound to raise our
voice against any more of the same sort being
brought into the country. We have class
of idlers, composed in about equal numbers of
whites and blacks, who have no visible way of
making a living. We want no more idle con-
sumers. Again, we have class Of citizens,
composed mostly of young white men, who
are wasting their time and the hard-earned
money Of their fathers, in riotous living. We
need no more prodigals.
We do need, however, scores Of laboring
men and women of good moral character.
We do not need any more servants. We have
more servants now than we have any use for.
We want men and women to come and settle
in the country who. are above taking the me-
nial position of hewers of wood and drawers
of water for any man. That man or woman
who is content to work from year to year, in
the degraded capacity Of servant, to do dir
ty work, never can make citizen. We want
citizens in the proper sense Of the word Men
and women who regard themselves as some
thing; not mere ciphers in the world.
How we are to get such persons to come
into our country, under existing circumstan-
ces, it is not easy to see. There are no va
cant lands in the South. All the land is
owned by some one, and the moment move
is made by men of limited means to buy up,
settle and improve these lands, that moment
the price of land will reach fabulous point.
If all that is meant by immigrants is class
of menial laborers, we are satisfied that by
immigration our Southern country will not be
bettered. The negro is, all things considered,
the best servant in the world for our Southern
country. He has as many good points, and
as few bad ones, as any servant in the uni
verse. Suppose the South was filled with ne
groes as full as the most enthusiastic immi-
grationist desires, what sort of place would
it be? 1t would make labor cheap, but it
would add nothing to the wealth Of the South.
Neither would it make the life of our South
ern farmers more pleasant.
Whenever the large land-holders Of the
South become ready to dispose Of a portion
of their lands at fair prices and on reasona-
BILE terms, it will be time enough to talk about
immigration. Until that time arrives, the
streams of immigrants will flow through 9TH
er channels into other sections of America.

SULPHUR FOR FowLs.-There is no RENE.
dy and assistant so easily and cheapily ob-
tanned, so harmless to the fowls, or so satisfac-
tory in its result, as sulphur. 1t being in the
system of animals to small degree, there is
a greater affinity for it than there otherwise
would be. 1t can be administered to the fowls
by having it in a small box, so that they can
help themselves, or by mixing it with their
feed once week, or as often as there are in
dications of vermin. Penetrating, as it does,
to every part of the system, the parasites are
quickly and surely destroyed. Also gapes
are said to be prevented in chickens. Fowls
need it more than most ami mals, their feathers
containing between four and five per cent of
sulphur. Their eggs, also, have small guam
tity, which is noticed by the discoloring of
silver spoon when it comes in contact with
boiled egg. Applied externally to the fowl
when on the nest, to the nest itself, or mixed
with the soil in the dusting box, it is equally
efficacious in destroying vermin. TO be used
asa fumigator of buildings, it is necessary to
remove the fowls, close the room or house,
mix a little saltpeter with the sulphur in an
iron vessel, and apply q match to the mixture.
This should be done in the morning, and the
doors and windows opened in the afternoon
for thorough ventilation. Lard mixed with
sulphur in proper proportions and applied as
often as it is necessary to the feathers on the
neck and back of young and old turkeys, is
very good safeguard against the ravages Of
foxes.-Poulry World ...

HISTORICAL SKETCHES,

The HISTORICAL SKETCHES OF THE EARLY
History OF SOUTH CAROLINA will constitute an
important feature of the volume. These Sketches
are written by Rev. ROBERT LATHAM, and COM
mencing with the earliest settlement Of the State
in colonial times gradually trace Its rise and pro-
gress. To the writing and compilation of these
Sketches the author has devoted much thought
and extensive research. Besides the colonial his
tory. they will contain the stirring scenes and i'm
portant events, the anecdotes and .incidents-leg-
endary and authentic-which have never before
been fully published, connected with the Revolu-
tionary history of the State. Much of the mate
rial of these Sketches being traditional-many of
the events portrayed having never been in print
and written in Mr.. LATHAN's easy, familiarstyle,
they will be read with peculiar satisfaction, not
only in our own State, but by every one having
just appreciation of the history of noble ances-
try in their struggle forlberty and independence.

REMEDY FOR SMUT IN WHEAT.-Our cor
respondent in Mora, New Mexico, reports
that all the wheat in that county is much af-
fected with smut. In many instances grow
ers state that their crop was half smut. For
two years he has tried, with excellent results,
preventive recommended by Mr.. Penda-
ries, native of Montauban, France, now re-
siding in that locality. 1t is as follows:
"For ten bushels of wheat, put sixteen
ounces of blue vitriol in boiler with ten gal.
Ions of water and heat thoroughly. This mix
ture is sprinkled, boiling hot, over the wheat,
which is then gathered into heap and left to
absorb the mixture for one day. 1t is then
spread out again and allowed to dry."-De-
partment Of Agriculture.
