FALLING TO E O

Roscoe Conkling spoke half the truth
when he said that the republican party
is falling to pieces through unwise
management. The other half may be
found in high tariff and the rapid decay
of the respect the people have felt for
the cid leaders of that party who will
persist in harping on old campaign lies
and dealing in ISLANDERS about the
south.

To-day at Pittsburg another giant
monopoly will probably be formed
The leading window-glass manufac-
turers of the United States, after sever
al months of consideration, will meet
there to perfect the organization of a
syndicate to control production and
prices of their wares. As they have
taken the precaution to have their plan
drawn up under the supervision of
lawyers, that it may not conflict with
existing laws, their aims will probably
be accomplished.

Ettgoys Citizen - The farmers insthis
part of the eeounty are getting desperately
backward with theif crops. I'VE are hay.
hing good seasons to set tobacco, and q
great many of the planters who had tlleii
Hands ready, are done setting tobacco
While we fnd a great many who are NOT
near done gplanting, the corn crop is
nearly all in the grass, not worked
Eout; the frs time. and the prospects are
gloomy for this season of the year. But
| it is decidedly better to pIow, and dig
the grass away from the corn bet@eeu
fshoWers than to remain idle antl lee the
grass take control OF the crop, As was Tie
case two years ago. stis
An old adage is: - 5lsi ssaI

And dyou will have corn ts sell and. u

the grass and weeds and Still nal corn
So 1t is in tobacco crop, if it rains every
day it does not hurt tobacco to serape ou4
the grass i.ee
The wheat crop never was finer in this
part Of the county, and the sprediction
among some of our best farmers is that
Flat Creek Township will make the
largest yield of wheat for ears; this will
be great blessing to our people. We
should always make wheat for our own
consumption, and some to sell, instead OF
depending on some other markets for
what we use. Buncombe county is fine
wheat and clover county; why not take
pains in raising as fine wheat here as any
where on the face of the globe. / can.
not see why such a county as ours should
not be self-sustaining country, and il
our farmers will only reflect, and see the
folly of trying to over do the thing in
cultirating SO much tobacco, and raise
wheat, corn, potatoes and everything else
to eat, this section Of country would soon
blossom as rose, and you would soon
see every farmer well to do. There woald
be no need of mortgage on the crop, ev.
cry body would be able to pay their way
4 The mortgage system is bad one, and
the sooner the people learn to raise thei.
own supplies the better. The mortgage
business on crops ought to play out, and
fthe next legislature ought to offer an
amendment to the constitution to do
away with the Homestead law, and then
a poor man could 30 on andtrade in some
reason if he bad to go Gu credit, and il
he failed to pag,- his COW or horse could
be sold to pay his debt and he could
turn round and buy another COW or horse
as the case might be and fnr much better
than under the present system, and / be
lieve the people would repeal the home
stead laws, ifthey were properly enl;ght
provenlents going on in this part of the
county, Mr.. Henry Clay Blackstock il
building beautiful residence at Stocks
vile, and James Wesley Roberts in the
same ighborhood is making prepara
tons to do the same thing.
