IN every country Tn the world where farmers are prosperous in an ordinary degree, they raise what they subsist on, grow what they consume. It is an abnormal condition for farm CTS to buy articles of farm products, and just as dangerous to agricultural welfare as an abnormal coalition of the human body is to health. We know we can't be better employed than in urging it upon our readers to SOW grass, and peas-plant more corn and less cotton. Get out of the old ruts.

THE effects on American interests by the European war just about to be inaugurated between England and Russia, can be seen in the fol- lowing clipped from the Post-Dis- patch;
 A Russian order for 25,000 dozen under shirts has given eight months employment to knit goods factory at Troy, N. r., whose operatives have been idle most of the time for year past. Chicago is filing heavy orders for canned meats on British army and navy account, and Kansas City has orders to ship vast amount of provisions for the use of the Domin. ion forces operating against ReiPs rebels in the Northwest. The iron trade and several other branches of manufacturing industry, as well as the grain and provision trades, have already felt the impetus of the ac- tive preparations which Russia and England are making for war while they are talking peace. As in the case of the last war between Ger many and France, both parties are liable ito become SD we'll prepared tor war that neither can refrain, and the effect of actual war on our mar kets can be approximately inferred from the effect of mere rumors and possibilities of war.
 Our grain and provision markets will be the chief beneficlaries from a conflict in Europe. Our cotton would most likely drag. Our farmers ought to note this advantage for gram crops. Cut down cotton and increase corn

NEWS from Conway county con. tinues to indicate bad state of af- fairs Tn the Jerusalem settlement, on Sheriff Spears farm. On Saturday night week ago, negro was killed on thls farm-shot at his own home, by some one who had called him out, We have heard many rumors about the troubles in that community. The most of them we supposed to be somewhat exaggerated. But the re- alities in the case are of a very seri. ous character when they begin to pan out dead men, be they black or white. These difficulties grew out of desire on the part of the people to be rid of the negroes which Sher- fir Spears was quartering on his farm in their midst. It is a case In which the people of a community want it one way, and certain indi vIdual wants 1t another, and which is apt to end badly, if the bone of contention is strong enough, as in this case it is, and is likely not at an end yet.

lon ce of the Democrat.


 Correspondence of the Democrat.
 Last Sunday morning, some two hours before daylight, negro man was shot and killed about four miles east of this place on Capt. F. H, Spears farm, since which intense ex. citement has prevailed. The people in that neighborheod have been plunged in sea of trouble. Un- known parties from unknown parts, it seems, went there and killed the negro. There seems to be no clue to the murderers. An inquest was held as the law directs, developing nothing. Here it is not improper to state Capt. Spears and some of his neighbors were not getting along well, and caluminous reports were a; once circulated against several hon est farmers and so intense grew the excitement that Capt. Spears ne groes quit work and grooped about on suspense, and, alse, the whole neighborhood became alarmed and all farm work has been suspended by Capt. Spears and the entire neighborhoed.
 This evening some peace-makers went from Appleton and restored tranquility, and it IS earnestly to be hoped the spell will not be broken. Ali parties will resume work tomor- row. It is to be remembered Capt. Spears is sheriff of Conway county, and as he had legal right to sum mons in posse it was feared he would do so and vent his spite on his personal enemies, but this, it seems, he did not attempt Although Capt. Spears is republican of stal- wart sort, he does, we understand, exhonerate the democratic party from implication. Ifneeds be l can secure dozen certificates from lead ing republicans that there is no pol itics Tn it; that it is neighborhood affair that has grown out of the mur- der of negro by parties to which the Coroner's inquest developed no clue, after many witnesses being ex amined and every precautlon belng taken to get a clue to the guilty par ties. We regret very much the sad affair and hope the negroes, Capt Spears, and the entire nelghborhood will resume tEeir avocations and each and every man refrain from talking about his neighbors and SOW the seed of PEACE awhile and see il the harvest will not be better.

It has always gone to the people on It's own merits. and never pressed any other claim for their patronage. On any other ground It or any other journal ought to fail. The DEMOCRATS sympathies are bound up with Pope county and her people, and it's highest purposes has always been to build her up in all her mate rial interests.

TIE New York Sun says: "One thing is clear about President Cleve- lands administration 1t is not common place. It is not a thing of routine, whose acts everybody can predict. It Is independent, original, guided by it's own purposes, and not by those of any outside force. To the philosophical observer it is the most interesting administration that we have seen since Gen. Grant first became president" :"
 Valuable testimony coming from the opposition. And high com pliment. This happens to be g jour nal that beloved so loud about Cleveland being unfit for president, etc. It seems change must have come over the spirit of It's dreams.

Their punishment is just.

AN awfully unprofitable employ ment is to indulge Tn elimination and recrimination, in criticism and newspaper fighting oyer incidents and battles which occurred in the late war.

THE decision of the supreme court in the case of J. Fl. Perry vs. L. R & F. s. R. R. will he found at an other place, and will be read with sorrow. People can't help but gym pathize with man, who, like Capt Perry, has been swindled out of his hard labor, and tbe swindle confirm ed by the decision of the supreme court of his state. The decision proclaims very strange priaciple of law and one that is very unjust indeed--the evasion of the payment of debt by corporation simply by a change in the name of the corpora tion. The payment of this debt due from the railroad to Capt. Perry for building it's road bed was eyaded by the very simple act of changing the name of the corporation from l.. k. N Ft. $. R. R. to l.. R. and F. s. By, and the swindle was effected on thls point alone and the supreme court has affirmed it. It doubtless is the law, but it opens wide door for swindlers all the same.
