FARMERS CLUB AT CEDAR GRovE>
June 5, 1886.
In addition to the regular routine
business, the following was unanim-
ously adopted:
Resolred, That we recOmmend the
calling of a county convention by
the farmers cfrAs> OF, Forsyth county,
to meet at the Codr< House in Win
ston on Saturday, the thirty-frst day
of July, 1886 and that we request
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER to assist
us in bringing this convention about.
Subject Of discussion was, the ne
cessity Of raising as much as possi-
BILE Of the necessaries of life.
President Bevel.-Men who make
their home supplies are the most
independent. Raise your own meat
and bread, and scarity Of money
will not affect you SO much. Mer-
chants and manufacturers may be
reduced to Strengthened circum-
stances, but the farmer, who raises
his own supplies, never can be.
Farming pays. | raised 30 bushels
Of wheat last year that cost s25 to
raise it and left the ground in better
condition than before.
S. Alspaugh.-Raise home sup
piles. Keep clear Of debt and live
happy. Don't reach too far. Don't
aspire to wealth. The middle class
is the best contented. Don't depend
on one crop. The man who raises
tobacco alone makes others rich and
himself poor. Have your corn in
your own crib, your meat in your
own smoke house, make your own
manure and let tobacco and com
mercial fertilizers be things of the

a section or set Of men wholly given
to the use of commercial fertilizers
that prospered?
A Parker The cotton section has
likely been damaged by their use.
This | attribute to two causes: the
lien system and cotton speciality. By
the first you are at the mercy of the
lien holder, for the prices you pay
for necessaries, and the prices you
obtain for your products. By the
latter YOU are forced to be pur-
chaser the year round, which is a
financial strain on your returns of
sales. In the language Of David Dick
son, the great Southern agricultural
light Buy the ingredients Of old and
tried and honest dealers and man
nipulate them YOURSELF In this way
the farmers interest will be pro
noted.
T. B. F. Hayworth.-I am in favor
Of commercial fertilizers. Like Mr.
Parker, | buy such ingredients as l
want and mix them with the richest
dirt / can find about the lot, stable,
Or under old dwellings. | com
menced the plan several years ago
and find / now have a surplus
where | formerly had none. | expe-
rimented on a certain field Before
| commenced the above plan it pro-
duced about 60 bushels Of wheat /
now get 200 bushels and it gets bet
ter each year.
D. NJ. Payne.-I have two sugges-
tions to add. Join farmers club
and attend it as punctually as you
do any other calling. Study the
subject and impart the light you
have on it to others, and they to
you, that all may be benefited. The
prime object Of society is to Commin
gle and interchange ideas and expe-
rienccs for each others advance
ment: This narrow, conceited self
ishness that causes men to stay away
from such gatherings is too mean.
1t would smother the last lingering
ray of departing truth. Attend,
listen, learn and be benefited if you
do not feel capable of imparting to
others. Secondly, if you are a far
mer, read agricultural literature.
Read it next to your Bible, and you
get the needed light by it and your
associations in farmers clubs. THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER is published in
our midst, and suits our section. 1t
gives out benign light that will do
you good. 1t needs only to be read
to be admired
Ordered by the Club to be con-
densed and reported to THE Pro
GREss1vE FARMER for publication.

Leonard Ketner-To make ma
nure, keep stock enough to eat half
your forage. Use the other half for
littering stalls. Grass spread over
the ground is much better than if

plowed under until it dries. Hog
manure is very strong. 1t should
be spread very thinly on ground to
be seeded in wheat. 1t will cause
wheat to fall down if put on thick.

results. feed three parts corn with

hogs whole grain. 1t is a waste.
Never feed crushed stuff to hogs.
Tobacco is proving to be curse to
North Carolina. Nine out of every
ten men who have been raising it
any length of time are poorer to-day
than when they began. The evils
that have grown out of the culture
of tobacco are too numerous to men
riQn. Tobacco and commercial fer
tilizers must go. The hand writing
is on the wall too plainly to be mis-
taken.
The Club then passed the follow
ing, without a dissenting vote:
Resolred, That we believe it is
necessary for the promotion Of our
welfare, to raise our home supplies
and less tobacco, and we pledge our
efforts to the full accomplishment of
this end. J. NJ. JARVIS,

A letter was received yesterday by Mr. John
Schley from Commander Huntington. OF the
United StatesIschoolship Constellation, giving the
particulars Of the death of his son, Cadet Osk
Schley, on Aug. 8. The letter states that young

fore reaching the water. Orders were promptly
given for heaving the ship to and lowering the
life boat, and the crew of the boat, in their ca.
gerness, lowered without orders, before the ship
had lost her head way, and the boat capsized.
Two other boats were lowered at the proper
time and succeeded in rescuing three of the sail
ors. The boats continued search for the other
three men and the cadets body, but without sue
cess. The Commander speaks of Cadet Schley

he threw her upon the pavement in front of their
home, and she received serious injuries, which

nounced Mrs. Hayss condition very serious, the
base of her brain being affected by the force
of the fall upon the hard pavement.
Hays. after his arrival at the station house,

suspicious his wife entertained of his intimacy
with another woman This had only
been for the last three days Before
this, there had been no differences
between them, but during this time she has not
been willing for him to leave the house. When
he started out last night his wife locked the
door and attempted to hold him. He succeeded
in getting outside the door, his wife still clingng
to him, and, in bis attempts to release
himself, she was thrown to the
pavement. The officers who made
the arrest are not inclined to accept this state

STORMS AND SUNSHINE.
The Variety of Weather to Which Indian
apolis Was Treated Yesterday.

Two great thunder storms within little more
than twelve hours yesterday was rather an I'M
usual meteorological event even for Indianapolis
The storm in the morning gave the city big
fright It approached rapidly from the north
and brought with it darkness, making it neces-
sary to light the gas to see. There was, how
ever, little wind but q heavy fall
of rain and a great deal of lightning
During the storm the residence of Mr. John
Dury, No. 1874 Massachusetts avenue was struck
by lightning. The bolt was attracted to the in
tersecton of some telephone wires, which were
burned in two, and then to the lightning rod on
the house. which, however, it did not follow.
The roof at the point where the chimney comes
out was badly broken and in the room below. the
sleeping apartment of Mr. and Mrs. Dury, all
the plastering was knocked off, the carpet and
floor torn up. bricks pulled out of the wall
into the room, and chairs and the
bed upset. liz the downstairs room the
piastering had fallen and the CRATE showed
that the lightning had gone out through il. The
damage cannot yet be estimated. HAD the acct
dent occurred hour earlier, in all probability,
Mr.. and Mrs. Dury would have been killed, as
they had only been up a short while At
the time, although they Ia another
part of the house, both were stunned, Mrs.
Dury not recovering for some time. lady
next door knocked down, but not injured,
and people all around for half square Or more
felt the effect slightly.
The storm was refreshing as long as it lasted,
but contrary to all expectations the heat after
ward was greater than before. the moisture 60
ing up from the streets and pavements hot as
the air of bakers oven. The temperature as
late as 5 o'clock in the afternoon was 80 degrees,
while the minimum during the day was SO de-
grees, showing variation within few hours of
about % degrees.
The storm last night in windy fury and forksd
lightning was that carried terror to the
timid. The electrical display has never been ex
ceeded here, and the thunder was heavy and
prolonged. Many signs were blown down and
there considerable damage done to shade
and fruit trees and outbuildings. The chimnevs
of Halls homny mills were blown down, max
ing it necessary to suspend operations and ex
tinguish the fires in the furnaces.

A SCHEME OF THE BAILEYITES.
II. N. Span Declines the Democratic Legis-
lative Nomination, and VIM. Hugo Named.

The nomination of Henry N. Span on the
Democratic representative ticket reveals, 1t is
said, some more of the shrewd work of the
Bailey men. They did not claim him with con-
fidence, although directly after the convention
it was sought to impress upon every one inter-
ested that his favor tended toward Bailey His
name was solicited previously by committee.
but he gave them assurances that he could not
accept. But to defeat combination, it is be-
lieved he was place. before the convention
with the certainty that he would resign. This
resignation was sent yesterday to the Democrat
ic county executive committee instead of to the
central committee. Last night the executive
committee met, accepted it and filled the vacan-
cy by unanimously selecting VIM Hugo. 1t is
given out that Hugo was chosen because he had
the next highest vote, 1S6. the last ballot by
which Climber was nominated but the Bailey
men claim him, consideration that it is be-
lieved had greater force with the committee.
which is also claimed by the Bailey faction 1t
must be understood that all these claims do not
go undieputed by Bynum and his following
