Letter From a Prominent Far
m0r.

Will the FARMER AND MECHANIC al
ow me through it's columns to say a
few things to the Legislature which is
soon to meet.
In the earlier days of the republic
the States were enshrined as so many
nationalities; but now they may be
looked upon as subdivisions of a great
nation, divided up for purposes of
police, etc. Hence State legislation is
not of 70 much Importance as former
ly. But sill some matters of great
interest will, or ought to be, acted on
by Legislature: Such as the taxation
of dogs, the public school system,
fence or stock law, the election of
L. S. Senator. Now when we re-
member that society was organized
for the protection of The people in
their persons, property and pursuits
of happiness, it will not be difficult for
a member Of ordinary capacity to de-
termine his course on the above sub
jects: provided he is DESTROYS TO pro-
mote the tate without regard to his
individual or party prospects. Acting
on this principle, he revolves the dog
tax question to the query-which Is
of the most interest to North Carolina
the dog, or the sheep ? If the dog,
protect him, if the sheep, protect him.
and that is all of it as to the principle.
As to the manner of projecting the n
or the o her, there is room for dis
cussion. At present the dog is pro-
tected. He is property, and the only
properly in the State not taxed. [
have heard Of members of a former
Legislature. quibbling yer the ques-
ton, as to whether the dog is props
erty. Folly. To protect sheep-tax
dogs-say So each, and So for bitches.
A good system of public schools is OF
the greatest Importance. The system
we have, though it is bad is better than
none. But it could be improved,
Some neighborhoods have a session
every year, while others never have
them. This neighborhoo1 has not
had a school, before this fall,
in ten years, while others in the town
ship have them every year. The
townships should be properly dis
tricted; and the districts should rotate.
But little can be expected from the
small outlay. More money should be
to this purpose. More tax
for education. A man or nation can
not spend money for a better purpose.
In the thickly settled portions of
Sweden. / believe they have itinerant
teachers. They have high grade
schools and competent teachers, visit
them each day to supervise the in
struction of the pupils less advanced
and to hear the lessons of those more
advanced, while a proper person is in
charge of each school all the time to
enforce proper discipline. and to in
struct beginners. Possibly something
of this kind might be done here.
| would like to have written more.
but have already taken up too mnch
of your space. Will try to write some
more if agreeable to you. | don't
write in any spirit of debating, ut
merely make suggestions for our
law makers. CASwELL.

THE "TIDGETS."

Nervous prostration, as prolonged
physical disorder, SAYS the New York
Times, is a complaint of comparatively
recent date. but one much more prevalent
than any one who has not looked into the
matter can have any idea of. Years ago
people were said TO have the "fidgets."
which, in some instances, NAV have de
scribed the same trouble which now passes
under longer name, though, as a rule.
what is known as nervous prostration is
found in more or less complete exhaus-
tion of the system, rathan than in easily
excited displays of nervous action. BY
FAR the greater number of sufferers from
this trouble in our own country are young
women of good social position. In New
ork city at the present time there are
hundreds of well-to-do women TO whom
life is burden in consequence of nervous
weakness. Seemingly slight bodily effort
or trifing mental exertion proves to be
greater load than they can carry, and Is
followed by sleepless nights or extreme
physical debility. And yet it is so often
the case that no outward indications ex-
isl of this inward trouble. The person so
afflicted may apparently be strong and
vigorous, and may have n most excellent
appetite, and tor these reasons they some
times fail 10 receive the consideration
which their actual condition entities them
To. On the other hand, the outward char
acteristics of the disease are so mislead-
ing that the work Of imposture is made
easy, and, hence. to that unhappily large
class who dislike to be thought well it
offers advantages which it is to be feared
have not been passed BY. As, years ago, il
was considered rather creditable than
otherwise to have the gout, SO, for some
time past, nervous prostration has been
fashionable complaint, taxing the pa
tience and skill of those physicians whose
practice is among our wealthy classes.
There seems to be as yet no settled method
of treatment, though one or two medical
men might be named who have gained
quite reputation as specialists on account
OF their success in effecting cures.
