white robe in which the new year
appeared among us may be an
index of the unsullied and
unselfish policy by which we hope
to be governed end ruled in the
future. Ignorance is the parent
Of many vices, and in order to
destroy this fell incubus we hope
to see the rising generation fairly
emancipated from its foul grasp
by a liberal patronage from all
who are able. We would suggest
that there ale not a few Of our
citizens who might emulate the
munifcence of judge Faircloth in
supplying means for the wants Of
the poor, for bread thus cast on
the waters is most proftably con-
served. Our colored schools are
not likely to he recipients of local
donations, but there are not q few
philanthropists north who have
already contributed, and We may
hope will still continue to earn the
grateful ackno wledgements of the
color ed schools of Norh Carolina

columns OF your paper, a ques-
ton that was asked me during
the campaign of 1880 by the county

columns of the Messenger. I now
propose to answer it by asking
the author of the article--the
heading of which is, s,Facts!
Facts! Facts Tax Payers Of
Wayne County-Read, Compare
and Ponder. Under the above
heading they gobbled up, or pre-
tended to, the forty.three tax
items on the tax books of Wayne

will Mr.. Grady choose ?" Why il
it, that with nine thousand dol
lars in the county treasury, and
the county out of debt, as it is
presumed, with nine Thousand
dollars on hand on September LIST,
1881, that the taxes of A. T.
Grady, for wife, ETC., for the year
1880, was only $h13, and for the
year 1881, on the same propriety,
with the exception of some loss Of
live stock on farm, is $l3429

stances, and with the figures be-
fore US, we would chserfully say,

RALEIGH LETTER;
RALEIGH, Jan. 18th, 1882.

AAALbAAAAf UWns AoO~s
EDITOR STAR:--All0w me
space in your paper to cay some
thing concerning an article men
toned some time ago through the
columns of the Aduance about the
Plymouth riot, which occurred on
the oath of December last. The
paper says 1t was o fight among
the negroes, and from what | can
CLEAN ont of the matter is, that
the town officer went and at.
tempted to arrest or demar ded
peace, at which he and his possee
got into battle, and during the
contest were badly hurt. one of
whom, il ~ stated, was mortally
wounded. This certainly speaks
rough for Plymouth.
When the general roll of officers
Qeaving out the county sheriff.
arrests, or attempt to arrest man,
especially if colored, they approach
him as though he was
a beast or something OF no
feeling whatever, and consequently
trouble ensues. Now, Mr.. Editor,
why is it we scarcely ever hear
of any trouble arising while an
old aud experienced officer-that
is a Sheriff lis in the act of exes
cutting his official dutyf Because
that officer uses the proper
Judgment, and approaches a man
as a mau.
l do not advocate crime of this
sort, because it is of such u ma
ture that all men must, from sound
principles, condemn, and If pos
sible, punish, ID the extremity Of
the law, for no man or sot OF men
should attempt to iDjdre those
who arc chosen by the people to
act as officers OF the peace but
to take a right view Of the matter,
whiskey, no doubt, was the sole
cause Of the Plymouth riot, and
very likely the officer approached
the rioters in a rash manner.
At Oxford some months since,
two negroes, according to their
own voluntary evidence, were the
OF a worthy citizen-one
whs had highest respect of both
white and colored Mr.. 4. M.
Lynch. They were arrested,
lodged in, Jail, and after remain
ing in prison awhile, they
were taken out and. without
trial by either Judge or jury, were
unlawfully hanged, the sentence
being pronounced by that unjust
ju9ge-Judge Lynch. There is
uotbiug whatever said OF this oc-
curence. TIE poor negro has to
keep mum on the subject. He
dare not open his month.
COLORED REPUBLICAN.
The Goldsboro star. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1881-18??, 1882-01-21

The delegation Of North Caro-
linians that called npon President
Arthur the other day, requested
him to allow the State Executive
Committee to control the Federal
patronagein North Carolina, which
was right and proper, and we
take it that no good Republican
can object TO such a distribution
Of said patronage. Should the
President allow the committee to
control it, the colored Republicans
will have gained a signal victory
over the political bummers that
seem to have special faculty for
misleading the administration for
Office, and the spoils that they
gather from campaign to cam
paign. Judge WA Moore headed
the delegation. The "Proof Of
the Pudding is Chewing It,"

Bedding for Animals

The farmer who takes pains to
make up the bed for his COW or
horse, gains ten times more than the
cost Of the labor Of SO doing. If all
material is passed through the cutter
previous to being used for Bleeding, it
not only adds to the comfort of the
animal but assists IN the matter Of
cleanliness by reason Of lis greater
power Of absorption. For this reason
rawdust is becoming favorite, as its
fneness not only admits of its being
handled easily, well spread in the
etsll, and promptly removed, but, at.
ter having absorbed the liquid flows
of the stall, still readily mixes con.
veplently with the matter in the ma
nure heap. The merit Of sawdust is
due to its fneness and to its absorp-
tive quality. If any bedding is plen-
,iluI, fine and absorptive, it prevents
less Of manure 10y intlmatel y mixing
with it, and as the droppings are
more readily Incorporated with a
greater mass Of absorbent material
the risk Of evaporation and escape Of
gasses is lesyened. Now, if the labor
of cutting is to be taken into tie ac-
count, it is more than balanced by
facility in spreading the fine manure
when it is hauled to the fields. The
cutting can be done in winter or dur
ing wet days, ard it Is a luxury to
spead nice finely divided manure.
Good, fine, clean bedding adds to the
thrift and health of the animals, is
cooler in summer and warmer IN win
ter and those who use it prevent
much loss.

Every farmer who has to contend
with stony land will thank us for
saying that when the small stones are
to be picked two men with dung forks

Setting henscan be cured by putting
water in vessel to the depth Of one

twenty. four houls. The vessel should
be deep enough to allow the fowl to

There is probably no animal that
will with assistance of the farmer,
make more manure IN the course oil

his nose remains untrammeled, but
which probably might not aid the fat
