Editors Farmer and Mechanic:
The principal cause of the great de-
preston In almost every branch of in
dustry throughout our country at this
time is a want of margin on our pro-
ducts. During the past few years
there has been a constant decline in
the price of nearly every product.
Soon after the war, when our people
adopted the buying of corn. f%ertili-
zers, provisions, &c. on time, and the
raising of cotton, the prices Of our
products were much higher, and the
difference between cost Of production
and the market value of our products
was greater. Under this mode Of
procedure We managed to get along
Without loss, and in some instances to
feailze some profit. But it is now ev-
dent that there is 70 longer a margin

the bacon consumed in our State dur.

chased abroad. The p pulation Of our
Stlte is estimated o. /, 200, 900. Allow

would consume annually 24O, O0O, 900
pounds bacon. Half this amount
would be 12O, Goa, 900 pounds, the

nothing of the lard and the purchase
of waste, grease, soap, &c.
Now we nave a remedy for this an

applied will in a few year furnish a
surplus TO us equal to the above
amount. The remedy is the free use

The Parker Murder.
Reidsriiie Times

lie Parker murder is yet all the
ak in Greensboro. We visited the
spot. 1t is on West street not far
from the railroad. The murderer
crouched in old Miss Nancy Ciark's
yard, close to the fence, and just where
ne knew Parker would have 10 walk
close up on account Of a deep side in
the sidewalk. AS he PASSED he got a
sweeping blow at the back OF h 5 head.
u drove a piece Of his wool hat deep
into his head. The blow through
the bone of the skull. DR.. Cheek
thinks it was done with a hammer or
ratchet. something at hight angles
with the handle. The murderer must
nave known hat Miss Nancy Clark
was as deaf as a post he knew, too, it
was a Lonesome, quiet lit e yard, ard
that her gate was locked a. night and
not opened till morniog. DR.. Cheek
says Parker seemed conscious. HIS
continual cry was water, water" ard
my head, bead" The doctor asked
hlm who hit him. and he replis Il he
didn't know. The prevailing impr s.
sion with the citizens is that the muir.
derer is of the town and still there. |
Several citizens have dreamed dreams
as to the murderer. Col. j. S. dream
A6lo LII SuCC SSlOI tlldC Il |
certain young nan was the murderer
and that he killed Parker with a back
smiths hammer. w. L. G.. dreamed
that two certain negroes did it. No
one knows how much money he had !
though the murderer may yet be
caught by a few little pieces of old
Spanish coin it is known that he did
have IN his pocket that day. We
knew Bob Gun, a negro, hung at Hills
boro, convicted on simply an old for
elgn coin that was with the money he
killed Blalock fer. Blood money will
sooner or later cry death on the man
that pockets it,. 1t never fails. Three
four nights before Parker was kill
he told his wife he had been fol-
by a man, and after this he car
ried a pistol and had one in his bip
pocket at the time he was killed. The
day of the night he was killed a negro
boy went into his store and said.
"Mistrr Parker. dis morning when
got up seed a woman with her head
off standing opposite your house,"
Parker seemed veXed at such fOolery
and ordered the boy out OF his store.

man, Others that it was negro there

A Mountain Mail Carrier who
Lived for Ten Days on Tobacco
and Snow.

a Mountain Mail Carrier who
Lived for Ten Days on Tobacco
and Snow.
(from the Helena 4Nontca, Indepen-
Cent.)
Casey carried what is known as the
horseback mail, but which is. in fact.
carried by a two>wheel vehicle like a
sulky. There was a binding snow
stol m at the time, and the track across
the prairie was wholly lost. AS he
did net reach the end Of lis drive at
the appointed time, it was assumed
that he had lost his way, and this the
CRY proved to be we'll founded.
Tie e were not wanting brave men
to undertake the search for the MISS
ing man but their most arduOus eff
forts were in vain. On the 81 instant
Mr.. Rowe reached Benton, and was
informed OF the circumstance. The
weather was fearfully cold but this
did not deter him from the attempt
a horse he set forth, and in due time
found a dim track where it seemed
probable that Casey had left the main
road
When Casey was found, he was sit
ting in his cart, which the horse was
drawing slowly aud painfully along.
He was in a doze. and Mr.. Rowe
shouted to him once or twice before
lie was aroused tt consciousness. It
was then found that his right DOT
and leg were frozen to the knee. and
that his left foot was in the same con-
ditiOn. 1t is believed that his injuries
are not serious, and that he will not
suffer the loss of either limb
The driver had been wandering over
that trackless prairis for ten days and
nights wi hout food or shelter, and
viii a temperature never above zero
All this time he bad moved in an
almost perfect circle, and had picketed
his horse and camp d every right in
almost the same spot. More remarka
bic still. he had daily passed within a
mile and a half of the Twentv-Eight
Mile House. which was his destina
ton. All this time. amid sufferingS
that would have crushed an ordinary
man, Bob Casey had only one thought.
that he must stay with the mail and
get it through. whatever befell him.
And he did !; no. a single package was
Loss.
During all these terrible days and
rights the only thing ih,t passed his
lips WIS tobacco and snow. He had
with him a goodly suIp'y of the
