POWDERLY AND GOULD.

Mr.. Powderly undoubtedly has the better
Of Mr.. Gould in the correspondence which is
given to the public this morning. Beyond
question when Mr.. Gould wrote to Mr. Hoxie
that he had no objection to arbitrate all differ
ences, both past and present. Mr.. Powderly
was right in believing that there would be
arbitration, and had both parties to the
trouble acted in good faith the troubles might
have been adjusted promptly. But it must
not be forgotten that, in addition to the con-
fessed causelessness of the strike on the Mis-
souri, Pacific, when the two members of the
executive board reached st. Louis the das-
tardly attack at Fort Worth had just been
made, and blood was at fever heat Even
then there might have been a peaceable out
come had the spirit of Mr.. Powderly been
the spirit of Messrs. Bailey and Hayes. But it
was not, as events Immediately demonstrated.
The country, odeepiy interested in the speedy
termination Of the conflict, recognized the diff
ference between the spirit of the head officer
and his two representatives, and with great
unanimity regretted the sickness which com
pelled his absence. Mr. Powderly cannot
make the country believe that Bailey and
Hayes acted with discretion, for they didnot,
and it is matter of grave doubt whether
their presence did not do positive harm.
There is no sympathy with Mr. Gould any
where, and no denunciations which Mr.. Pow
derly may heap upon him will find any seri-
Gus dispute. But Mr.. Gould is the least suf-

Mr.. PowDERLY's letter to Mr.. Mcdowell,
covering the one addressed to Mr.. Gould, is
not the letter of discreet man. 1t gave Mr.
Gould the chance he takes advantage of with
clearness and force. 1t is little short Of mad
ness for the Knights of Labor to give Mr.
Gould the advantage of standing for princi-
Piles that are as dear as life to the average
American citizen. Mr.. Powderly has sadly
detractsd from the high reputation he had
achieved, by this unfortunate correspondence

THE unloaded stage pistol seems to be as
deadly as the same weapon in non-professional
hands. A -year-old Chicago boy, who

AN OLD POTATO.

We were shown an Irish potato
by Mr.. Wilbu1n Garren, on Satur-
day last that is fourteen years old.
He was working for Mr.. Daniel
Blake in the year 1872, who gave
him the potato saying that it was
a new kind. Mr.. Garren brought it
home and gave it to his sick daugh-
ter. She put it in a drawer, aiming
to plant it when the time came.
She soon afterward took sick and
died. The potato froze and then
dried without rotting. 1t is i'll a
perfect state of preservation, and is
about as hard as ~wood.-Henderson-

HI PROGRESSIVE FARMER, APRIL %, 1885,

The tobacco factories in Kerners-
vile will be in full blast by next Monday.
Easter morning services were held
in the Moravian graveyard in Kerners-
vile on Sunday Morning.
The exhibition at Oak Ridge Insti-
tute, which takes place on the End of
June, promises to be a grand affair.
Postmaster Smith believes in accom-
modating the public. He has had about
forty lock boxes added to those already
in use in the postofice.
The street sprinkler is in demand in
most North Carolina towns. Dusty streets
and absence of sprinklers affords a CON
slant theme for the local editor.
A few days ago a German carp
weighing five and a half pounds was
caught at Styres' mill on Muddy Creek,
in this county. How did it get there?
The tobacco factories were generally
idle Monday as the colored workers were
too busily engaged with Easter Monday
festivities to think of manipulating the
weed.
We had the pleasure OF a call last
Monday from Mr.. j.. R. Webster, editor
of Webster's Weekly, who reports Reds
Vile, the metropolis Of Rockingham
county, aourishing and his paper ditto.
The cherry crop in the neighbour
hoods of Kernersville and Oak Ridge
will be an abundant one this season..
There will also be an abundance of other
fruits in those neighborhoods.
A number of the young ladies and
gentlemen of Winston and Salem closed
up the Easter Monday festivities with a
very pleasant dance at the rooms of the
German Club in the Gray Block.
Through a communication published
in the I'oin- City Daily, of Saturday, the
local %optionists give notice that they will
not vote for any candidate for city off
ces who favors license or is directly or
indirectly in sympathy with the liquor
THE SALEM PAPER MILLs.-We under
stand that the Salem paper mills, which
have been idle for sometime, have been
purchased by Messrs. Brooks 4 Lineback,
who will shortly resume operations.
They are now having some large wells
sunk to supply the necessary moun of
water needed.
KNIGHTS OF LABoE.-Mr. J. r. Ray, of
Raleigh, State Organizer of the Knights
of Labor, spent Thursday and Friday in
city. Thursday night he organized
an assembly of about twenty white men
and on the following evening one Of col
.red men somewhat larger. He was very
r~eticent as to the number of assemblies
or strength of the order in this State.
