h,ra renders: its usefulness beng III
proportion to the number of its read
rather than its excellence as a
rg,oner What we mean is, that
,be smallest, dullest, dingyest weekly
paper that ever was printed IN North
Carolina (politics and vicious matter
eycepted) would be of more benefit to
the State. if it could have thirty thous-
and subscribers, thai the FARMER AND
MECHANIC, or any other paper-(no
matter if equal TO the New York Herald,
or London Times. in size, and quality
having only 1909 subscribers. Hence
we consider it the DUTY of every editor
aside from his pecuniary success, or
failure) to seek to send his journal to
every home in his county ant State, at
the least. To do this requires: first,
the making of a really valuable and
jgteresting. (the entertainment must
equal the usefulness) paper; and then
the taking of measures to set its friends
at work to introduce it everywhere.
The present proprietors OF the FAR
MER y MECHANIC, on taking charge
of it. seven weeks ago, found the bust
ness in much disorder being run
down at both head and heel, from ii
variety Of reasons unnecessary to state.
We are now busy, day and night, cor
recting irregularities, and making such
improvements as are possible in this
dull season and in the face of many
disadvantages, arising from past and
present conditions. We have not been
able to get the promised material for
typographical Improvement for the pa
per, but still live in hope.
Meanwhile we have had the pleasure
o. adding above one hundred and six
L subscribers to our lists, embracing
many Of the first citizens of the Old
North State.
Furthermore our friends are sending
Us many kind expressions of approval:
aII OF which we should rejoice to print,
because our experience holds that
many OF our most intelligent people,
especially III the country, desire to
have the opinion of their neighbors in
regard to any new newspaper for which
they think Of subscribing. In this
View We venture to give two or three
specimens from our correspondence:

The above question is often asked.
In general, the answer is, do not use
lead pipe, it is never safe. Iron pipe is
unobjectionable ina sanitary point of
view, but is in some waters is rapidly de
stroyed. Galvanized iron pipe or tin is
best. The tin lined is as good if YOU

A GOOD STORY OF GREELEY AND
VANDERBILT.

A story is told that when the Commo-
dore heard "Corneel" had been borrow
ing large sums Of money from Mr.. Gree
ley, he became very angry, and assum-
ing that Mr.. Greeley had loaned ihemon.
ey mainly in the belief that he, the Com
modnre would repay it, determined not
to pay it, as warning to others not 10
lend money to his way ward son. After
thinking over il he set off in high dud-
geon to see Mr.. Greeley, and give him
piece of his mind about it," Mr. Gree
ley was very bnsv when the Com
modore came, putting and indignant
into his Office. In his usual bluff, impet-
uous way the Commodore said: "Mr
Greeley, | understand you've been lend
ing my fon, "Corneel," money~ Mr.
Greeley, looking up quickly, and then
almost instantly resuming his work, re
piled in his nsnaI drawing way, "Yes,
Commodore, I've let him have some
money" you have, ehP" bluffed in the
Commodore, won have-well, / want
you to unders and that | ain't RESPONSE
BILE for it, and l shan't pay you a cent of
it," Mr.. Greeley ran his spectacles up
on his brows, stopped writing for mo-
ment, and, turning full face on the
G ,mmodore, fairly yelled out, "You
won't, eh2 Well, who the devil asked
you to pay it2 l didn't, did II" Gree
ley dropped his glasses over his eyes and
resumed his work The Commodore,
uon- pussed and boiling over with fury,
out of the Office, and it was a
matter of rumor that the two men were
never afterward or as good terms as they
had previously been.

Mr.. o. Turner complained of the correspond

excitement in the debate of the 18th. He presum-
ed 1t was his colleague Mr.. I. Turner who was
meant and hoped that correspondents would re
collect that there were two Turner'S from Ken
tucky, both Democrats, and would intimate which
Turner they referred to.
Thereupon Mr.. T. Turner remarked that when
his colleague and namesake had had the same
experience as himself he would not show somuch
senstiveness In regard to the structures of news
paper correspondents. He admitted that he was
the Turner alluded to- He denied, as alleged,
that he had called Mr.. Burrows damned liar. II
