FRANKLIN, N. G, July 2lst, 1881.
The last Session Of the N G. Legislature
provided for eight branch Normal Schools,
four for the whites and an egual number
for the blacks, to be located in different sec

ono for tho whites at Chapel Hill and one

is thought, that men will be found at it's

other chance Of being re-instatcd except by
some such move, and men, who though,
now holding office think their chances slim

and sympathy for tho President in tho
South are shared by all classes alike, by
politicians snd business men, as well as by
women and children.
= 1t is not TOO much to say TINT the feel
iDgs which animated tho Southean people
were entirely outside of politics. The an
nouncement that the President had been
fatally wounded by on assassin was sud-
den and vivid reminder Of the vital interest
which onr people, in common with the citi--
zens of all sections of tho country, have
at stake in the government. 1t was

The one great peril to tho South for
which can SEQ no immediate remedy is
tho now inevitable division of tho white
vote of the South and the certain appeal of

recently shared the worry general belief of
tho North that the division of tho white
vote Of tho South must be fortunate for tho
black voters, as it would create rivalry in

against all my wishes, that the necessary
and now near divipion of the whites will bo

to increase tho sympathy Of tho Southern
teople is the happy family rotations of tho
President. 1t was remembered how, upon
his Inauguration, he turned from the ap-
plauding crowd to kiss his wife aud white
haired mother Gracious little hints, shin
ing here and there, have gi:en tho people n
tolerably clear idea of tho Presidents home
life, in such charming contrast to the
showy shoddyism of the capital.
But it is not necessary to cndeavor to
oxplain Southern manifestations of sympa-
thy for the stricken President. They were
spontaneous and they are not fecting.
There is every indication that the President

How TO MEET Ir.--A correspondent Of
tho Wlnnsboro Nc,0S and HcroM in letter
on the crop situation tolls the farmers Of
Fairfield how they may tide over tho hard
times likcly to follow from the failure of
crops. He says:
81 notice much of tho cotton blooming
near the top-a very unfavorable M ark so
early. l would not be surprised if tho
present crop Of cotton aud corn did not
reach last years production. Tie wheat
crop has fallen of in the NYcst seyeral
million bushels, and We may look OUT for
hard times the ensuing year Let us pre-
pare IN time to meet the issue How is
this to be done? I would here suggest
that have passed through several years of.
drousht.-trom 1916 to the present time.
and would advise planters to SOW moro oats
and wheat than usual, and SOW oats at diff
feront season-from August to February.
Also two or threo varieties Of
turnips for winter use. Prepare
tho land well by deep ploughing two
or three times and manure and work
we'll Also cut hay wherever it is practi-
cable. Don't rely on Northern hay any
longer. Nlost of it is worthless and costs
money. Our crab grass is very good for
hay, and take time and NOW it during the
month of September if cotton is open. S,w
clover and luccrnc. Depend 10 longer on
Western corn ond Yankee hay to feed your
stock and supply your stables Plant less
cotton and improve your lands by sowing
grain and follow with tho field POI. This
is tho advice of nearly an octogcnariau."

Relies OF Emigrants who Perished

The Valley of Death, spot almost
as terrible as the prophets valley Of

broad, and surrounded, except at two
points, by inaccessible mountains.
1T is totally devoid of water and veg

1beast never darkens its white glaring
sands. The Kansas Pacific Railroad
zengineers discovered it, and some
papers which show the fate of the

came south from Salt Lake In 1850,
guided by a Mormon. When near

Love Laughs at Fetters.

Frank Martin, a handsome young
murderer, was under sentence of death
in the jail at Laclede, Mo. Time
hung heavily on his hands, and for
diversion he wrote tender notes to the
Sheriff7s daughter, Maggie. She did
not reply to the first half dozen, and
he was on the point OF ceasing to
write when he was surprised by a
sentimental missive. Their love.
making progressed rapidly thereafter
and of course they soon began to plot
for Franks escape. One night the
girl unlocked his cell, and he saw that
she was in boys clothes, with her
hair close cropped. She put pistols
in his hands, led him out of the
prison to where two saddled horses
were in readiness, and together they
rode away. This happened year
ago, and they have last week been
caught In Tennessee, where they had
married under assumed names and
settled down to farming.

than five minutes after the starting of

adjoining were enveloped in flames.
Eagle Hose Co. No. and Manhattan
Hose No. 2 were on hand in a short
