The Old Cemetery.

Ed. OBsERvER-The old Fay
etteyille burying ground is in a
most miserable condition. II
has been neglected until now il
is a wilderness of weeds and
briars, and graves have sunk and
remain unattended until it Is al
most impossible to pass thro' it;
but if any one attempts to go
through this silent wilderness
mot city, of the dead, he is LA
bic at any moment to stumble
headlong into a grave, and be-
sides disturbing its occupant he
is in danger of breaking a limb.
There is scarcely a family in
town but some member Of which
has
Travelled the dusty road to death,
and their mortal part now lies
moldeling and neglected, if not
forgotten, within that enclosure.
True, few graves are kept in a
neat condition, but like an hon
est man, they are comparatively
scarce and difficult to find. Let
something be done, by all means,
to rescue this sacred old place,
which is associated with so many
tender ties and fond recollections,
from it's present condition. We
have no doubt, in fact are salts
fed, all will contribute literally
to this much needed enterprise;
or let the municipal authorities
levy a tax to have it cleaned out.
BY all means some step should be
taken in this direction. 1t re-
fleets most unfavorably upon the
town that its dead should be for
gotten, and the place in which
they were laid with such a great
of gush and apparent
grief should become the most
neglected spot to be found. This
is progressive age, but in our
race let us not outrun
the memory Of the dear depart
ed who have gone before.

To the Farmers Of Lincoln
County.

County.
For a number of years pas
the people of Lincoln count,
have paid out hundreds if no
thousands of dollars for North
ern seed potatoes-of the early
varieties. The farmers of Da
wilson county, suffering in The
same way, went to work a yeal
ago to find a remedy for the de-
pletion OF their purses and, by
actual experiment, met with com
Iplete success. We commend t.
our farmers the following report
from a committee appointed to
report upon the best method fol
procuring the desired results,
There is ample time between
now and August 10th to plant
the potatoes. Now, Mr.. Far
mer, go to work and fix up your
beds and plant your Early Rose
of this gears groaCth, and don't
let us hear you growing next
spring about your having to pay
from $1.50 to 81 per bushel for
seed potatoes. 1t will be observ-
ed that the potato can be sprout-
ed by one method in five days,
another in ten days and another
in fifteen days. There is no ex-
cuse for not being able by one
of the methods to reach the de-
sired results:
Second Crop Irish Potatoes. /
TO the Davidson County Vegetable and
Fruit Growers Association if1 ffIl.-
Gentlemen-We, the under
signed committee, appointed to
get up facts and experience as
to the best mode of preparing
the seed and cultivation Of the
Irish potato for second crop,
would respectfully submit the
following:
KIND OF SEED.
Well matured Early Rose, or
any variety of the early Irish
potato, medium size and large
ones the best. Small, refuse po-
tatoes from first digging may
answer, but would not recon-
mend them when better can be
had. After digging, dry the po-
tatoes intended for seed for a few
days in the shade; then put in a
trench or old hot-bed frame;
throw water over them; cover
with a few inches Of dust; place
straw or any coarse litter over
all to prevent too rapid evapora-
ton of moisture. At shutdown
put a glass sash over the beds;
remove the sash at sunrise. In,
four or five days the potatoes
will begin to sprout, when they
can be cut and planted. Cut to
one or two eyes. After digging
and drying a little, can cut and
treat as above, or they can. be
piled IN the field water dashed
over them and covered with dirt.
In ten days they will be ready to-
plant; or, tight barrels can be,
filed and set away in the shade,
when they will sprout and be
ready for use within about two
CULTIVATION.
Plant in checks q feet apart,
Or in drills three feet by II to 10
inches in the drill, cover lightly,
always plant on a season, and
from the 10th of July to the
of August is the best
time for planting. Cultivate on
d level or as near as possible.
The important points to be OBJ
served are: +
l. Proper selection of well
seed.
2. Cause the seed to sprout.
3. Always cut the potato.
4. Plant shallow.
5. Plant on a season.
We cannot urge too strongly
The great Importance and value
Of this new industry.

DEMOCRACY DlSSECTED.
Telling speech by Judge AlphonsO
Taft, at COnneaut, Ohio.

The issue lies between the Republican and
the Democratic parties. There is no better al
tentative, and the question is, which of these
organizations shall be trusted with the power !?
The record of the Democratic organization is
such that it can never again be trusted with
the Government by the American people. Now,
if the Democratic party could bury out of our
sight, and out of our memory, and out of the
memory of mankind, its past history, and come
to us fresh, young, and interrupted organic
alton which has never betrayed the country
nor sympathized with rebels, and opposed
patriotic measures in time of war, nor attempt
ed to break down the credit of the country flo
party ends, and if the Republican party had
made doubtful record, the question of in
trusting it with the Government might well be
entertained by the American people.
1t is for this reason that the particular thing
most deprecated by the Democratic organs is
that there should be any reference whatever to
the record of that party in the Rebellion, and in
regard to the institution of slavery which
caused 1t, or the reconstruction which followed
| it, or to the well-known sympathy with the dis
| loyal elements of the country.
But it is impossible for the party to blot out
its history, or to escape the just responsibility
| to the public judgment, for its unfaithfulness
in the greatest crisis of the republic.
4 This is the hoary-headed party which asks
the country to forget its history, and intrust it
with supreme power. Looking to its past ca
reer on the financial questions that rave ar
rived, it is impossible to foretell what it would
/ do if once in power Whether it would stop
resumption, and issue more greenbacks, until
| they should become as cheap as they were in
| 1866 to 1869; whether it would suppress the
banks. and compel them to wind up and collect
/ their loans, amounting to some $500, 000, 900 OF
/ 00.000, 900, in which event many debtors,
both Democrats and Republicans, would be
ruined or whether it would sustain the re-
sumption which it has SO long denounced, are
all questions which cannot be answered from
the past words or the past actions of the Demo
cratic party. If that party should come into
power We should be at sea on all financial ques-

We have given the complete history
of each States action in the way of fur
nishing troops for the Union service. It
will be seen that the claim by Demo-
Gratis that the Democratic State of Mis-
souri, furnished 1919, III Union soldiers
is slightly exaggerated, and in the addi-
ton of 100000 to. the figures of that
State will be found an explanation of
the forgery which these Democratic pa
pers are repeating, and which by some
strange freak they impute to the Chi
cago Tribune. I'D.
It should be remembered that the
number of Union troops credited to
Missouri was largely increased by re-
cruits gathered in Illinois, Iowa and
Wisconsin. The " Union troops" cred
tied to the rebel States were largely col
ored troops, who can hardly be said to
have been Democrats at that time.
It should not be overlooked, also, that
it required more, Union troops to keep
Missouri from going into the Confeder-
acy than Missouri furnished to the
Union. In fact, the Democratic State
of Missouri furnished 15O,000men to the
OolAou6Ideo OOF0IuAu0ub, mCluQLuS
those who carried on the guerrilla war
with those serving In the Confederate
army. And still Mr.. Trumbull thinks
Missouri did more to put down the re-
bellion than did any of a dozen OF the
Northern States. Let the relatives and
friends of the thousands of Illinois sol
diers who lost their lives In the Missouri
campaigns resent this boast of the. supe-
rior loyalty of Missouri. TAI s.is5a

Two Brave Girls.

tt8 tI MtfLEV 1871 1853
Z, Miss ,Rebeccaa W. Bates of Scituate
Harbor, one OF. the heroines of 1872, has
just celebrated her 87th anniver-
sary 4 at the old homestead. Two
sisters, Rebecca and Abigail; daughters
of the lighthouses keeper at Scituate,
played a part in the Revolutionary
period as noteworthy as Barbara Freit-
che The lighthouse at the above
period was made the scene of a fife-and-
drum victory over an English blockade
in Scituate harbor. Two American YES
sells were coming into the harbor laden
with -four. AS it was shallow, the man
of-war was afraid to venture, and manned
two boats to pursue them. They were
fast gaining on them when seen by Re
becca and Abbie, Bates, when going out
to pick. up chips to, boil the tea.kettle
for the, evening meal. The place was
under the protection of " Home guards"
who, not apprehending any danger, were
on a forage In J. huckleberry patch.
The girls had become familiar with am
milnitlon and military music. Perceiv-
ing the danger. one of the sisters pro
posed to face the enemy with guns, but,
quickly taking in the, fearful odds, had
recourse to a stratagem. They fed to a
side of the lighthouse, SO as to be con
cealed from the enemy, and one of them
in steltorian tones called the roll. In an
instant after Rebecca struck a martial
air on the fife, and Abbie hammered on
the drum Justify. The music reached
the British, a flag was hoisted, and the
two boats wheeled about, and In the act
a seaman fell overheard, but WIS seized,
neck and heels, and hauled in. The
music also alarmed the absent guards,
who returned in time to raise tumultu-
Gus cheers as the enemy were departing,
the ladies playing. yankee Doodle. ;"
These two sisters never married, al
though they had several proposals.
They were very industrious and could
ply the needle and thread on any kind
of garment, for male or female. The
family is remarkable for their longevity.
Their father died when very aged, and
their mother at 81, and their paternal
grandfather at more than 100. One sis
ter, Mrs. Jane Curtis, is in her Goth
year, and another, Mrs. Hawthorne, is
in, her 10Th. The house occupied by
these two celebrities was built by their
grandfather 40 years ago, and is in a
wonderful state of preservation Dos

Gen. Grant on the Situation.

Ger. Grant has recently written a let
ter to Gen. Arthur, IN which he says:
When 1 go East do not want to return here
until next spring, except one day, the I'd of No
vember, to cast vote for Garfield and Arthur,
and would not prefer to break up SO SOON
hope you may have rousing meeting that may
awaken the people to the importance of keeping
the control of the Government In the hands Of
the Republican party until we can have two
national parties, every member of which can
cast his ballot as Judgment dictates, without
fear of molestation or ostracism, and have it
honestly counted parties not differing in opin-
ion as to whether we are nation, but as to
policies to secure the greatest good to the
greatest number Of ITS citizens. Sincerely be-
lieying that the Democratic party. as now con-
stituted is no. fit party to trust with the con-
troll of the General Government, | believe it to
he Interest of al sections, South as well as
North, that lne Republican party should sue
ceed in November.

Missouri had furnished more troops for
the Union army than had certain small
Republican States. We pointed out the
fallaey of Judge Trumbull's conclu-
sions, which rested on suggestions which
were false and omissions of what was
true.
We find going the rounds Of the
Democratic press an elaborate state
ment, in which Judge Trumbull's claim
for the Southern States is wonderfully
magnifed, ard what is the more wonder
full is, that the figures are attributed to
the Chicago Tribune, and the Tribune,
it is stated, obtained its figures from
Secretary of War McCrary. Here are
some of these Democratic figures now
going the round of the country:
Total troops furnished Union army by
Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, Minnesota, Connecticut. Califor-
MIA, Nevada and Oregon, 1876. 636; by
Missouri, 100, Ill; excess by Missouri,
2,475. These figures are used in various
forms, each combination showing q the
excessive loyalty of Missouri, and at last
it is shown that the old thirteen slave
States furnished more troops for the
Union army by So, 955 than did thirteen
non-slaveholding Stages, including in
these Colorado, Nebraska and Nevada,
which were not States in 1861, and Min
nescta and Kansas, which had just been
admitted. It is needless to say that no
such figures were published by the
Tribune or were ever furnished by the
Secretary of War. VI e
In 1879 there was issued by the Adiu-
tant General Of the Army a tabulated
statement of the number of men called
for by the President, and the number
furnished by each State, Territory, and
the District Of Columbia from April Is,
1861, to the close of the war Of the Re
bellion. This statement showed the
terms for which the men served, includ-
ing the enlistments for three, six, and
nine months and for one. two, and three
years, with statement of the aggregate
reduced to the three years standard. The
shortest and most certain way to ex-
plode these Demo cratic fabrications is to
reproduce this statement, together with
a statement Of the population Of each of
these States during the period of the
war when these troops were furnished.
We give the figures of the census Of
1860. Here is the statement
