The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1886-06-02

The Joint canvass between Gen. John
B. Gordon and Maj. Bacon for the Dem
ocratic nomination for the Governorshlp
of Georgia became so unpleasantly hot
that it was abandoned, and each gentle
man now strikes out for himself. When
heightened gentlemen, aspiring to the
highest Office in the State, get to accus'
ing each other of lying, c~owardice, &c,
it is in order for other ~high-toned people
to call a halt, and inquire if there is not
other gubernatorial timber in h State.
The time for harvesting rye will soon
be upon us. Save plenty ofseed for next
season. Thinking men all over the South
are beginning to realize the important
truth that we must rescue, restore and
"bring up" our exhausted soils, by a
judicious system of culture and of crops,
especially those crops which, by giving
back to the soils, will restore their fer
tility. One n of the most valuable OF
these is rye. Save plenty of seed to put
on you worn out land, pillow it under in
spring when in full head and sow In
peas, pillow these under in fall and put
in wheat and you will be astonished at
the result. Try it.
Red rust has made its appearance in
the wheat crop in many sections OF the
State, but SO far as we have been in
formed it is confined to the blade. The
oat crop throughout the whole State is
very inferior, and our tanners should look
well to a supply of hay. The spring has
been unusually favorable for the grasses,
and we hope to see a fine crop of hay
harvested. Do not let the hay lie out
and take the sunshine and dews until it
is worthless, but take good care to put it
in the barn while it is yet sweet and u
t%ritious. See that your barns are pro-
vided with an ample supply of nicely
cured hay for your stock.
The recent heavy rains, throughout
the Piedmont section especially, have
wrought great damage to the crops and
cultivated lands. Many of u farmers
will have to replant their corn on the
bottoms. They have been retarded by
the continued rains, and for the next
few weeks they will have to work actively
and hard to repair the damage. No time
should be lost to put their growing crops
in good condition by a thorough pulver-
ization of the ground, as possibly it will
and dry weather. The soil is now packed
by the heavy rainfall, and it should be
loosened with the pillow and hoe as soon
as possible.
We are in receipt of a communica-
ton from a correspondent at Sandy
Ridge, giving his views of the scope, pur-
poses and objects to be accomplished by
organization of farmers, how the far
mers' clubs may be made a power to pro-
mote the prosperity and better the condi-
ton of the tillers of the soil, who now
suffer for want of cooperative action, and
because they take too little interest in
public affairs. He is a believer in the
club, and an enthusiastic advocate of
thorough organization. If the same
spirit actuated farmers in the State gen
orally, it would not be long before they
could command the situation, and their
voice become so potent as to secure what
it asked for without much parley.

The Cost of Drink.

What does drink cost in human
misery? Can count the leaves of
the forest, or the sands upon the
shore? And the sounds of this
misery are like like the signing OF
leaves of illimitabie forests, and the
FLASHING on the shores Of unfathom
able seas. 1t costs US millions
of money, myriads of criminals,
thousands OF paupers, thousands OF
ruined women, hundreds OF thous-
ands OF men and women goaded by
misery into suicide or madness, with
every blossom In what might have
been the garland oftheir lives blight
ed as by Furys' breath :. Shall it
be nothing to YOU that the blood OF
Your brothers and sisters in this
great family of God is being daily
poured upon the affairs of this dead
lier Moloch of Tophet more awful
than that of Hinnom's Vale; while
in disowning that you are your
brothers keeper, you become his
Cain?-Canon Farrar.

ing. They argue that something
may be gained. They are not the
dnpes, but the men who dupe the
dupes. IF they win, all right. II
they fail, nothing is lost.
The democrats Of Arkansas will
look beyond 1874. They will review
the acts Of the period spanned by the
twelve years between 1874 and 1885.
And they as one man will declare
that the elements that wrought the
ruin from which democracy rescued
the state shall never be restored, DO
matter how skillfully they may seek
to fight behind a mask. Sarber and
his co workers have changed their
tactics. But they are the enemies OF
the people they were when democra
cy seized them by the throat and
hurled them from place and power.

MAXWELL Sentenced.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, July 14.-Walter
Lenox Maxwell was sentenced to-
day to he hanged August 9th Max
well was brought into court by order
OF Judge Van Wagner, by two dep
uties. He appeared less hopeful and
Indifferent than he did during the
trial and before his eounsePs motion
for rehearing OF his case was de
MED. He has also grown paler and
wears careworn air, and has not
entirely lost hope, he saws, for he
still has two chances OF escape by
appeals to the State supreme court
and To the United States supreme
court. This hope stood him IN good
stead to dag, for when the sentence
was pronounced the expression Of
his face changed scarcely ut all. A
motion for an appeal to the supreme
court will be filed 10 few days.

The Praying Soy.

A boy whe had been brought to
the Lord Jesus at mission Sunday
school was anxious that his father
should know the Saviour too. His
father was wicked man, who kept
drinking saloon, and thus not only
got drunk himself but caused others
to do so. The lad asked his Sun
day school teacher what he should
do, for his father made him walt on
the customers, handing out the pois-
on to them; and if he had not better
leave home. His teacher told him not
to leave home, but TO begin at once
to pray for his father, and she
would also pray for him, and for his
father too; and they both commenc
ed to pray for that father.
In few weeks the father left off
drinking, and soon after left of
selling, and went to work TO carr an
honest living.
"For," said he, with tears running
down his face, something has been
the matter with my dear boy for
some time; and the other day ! heard
a noise In the room where he sleeps
1T was a mournful noise and !
listened; and he was praying for
me! He prayed that would leave
off selling-for had given up drink
ing some little time before. / felt
doing wrong, and ] have quit it all;
and the next time you have meet
ing am coming with the boy"

"My Slnoke-House. ("

A man who lives in Albany, and
whose business is that of a clerk,
said that he had lately built house
that cost him three thousand dollars.
His friends expressed their wonder
that he could afford TO build so fine a
dwelling.
"Why," said he, shat is my
smoke house"
"Your smoke house, What do
you mean?"
"Why, / mean that twenty years
ago left off smoking, and / have
put the monev saved from smoke,
with the interest, into my house.
Hence call it my smoke house"
Now, boys, we want you to think
of this when you are tempted take
your first cigar. Think how much
good might be done with the money
you are beginning to spend in smoke.
What would you think Of a man who,
to amuse himself should light pa
per twenty live cents and watch 1t
bnrn? Is it any more sensible to
take for your quarter roll of Old dry
brown leaves, light 1t, and see 1t
smoke? - Exchange.

What the Matter Is.

Every clothing merchant is trying
hard TO sell his clothing at a great
reduction from late reasonable
prices, and yet he sees enough men
20 by his store daily, in need Of a
new suit, TO exhaust his stock. Why
don't they buy9
Simply because they have not the
money.
Seven out Of every ten OF them
have spent enough for cigars, tobac-
co, or for liquor, to buy and pay for
a new suit at the opening OF every
season, but they have to make one
suit "hold on" as long as the seams
win stay together.
But the saloonist makes ne special

goods sell easy; his customers raise
the money somehow, and he grows
sleek and fat, and imprudent and
saucy.
Look on this and then on that,
and you will have birds eye view
of the cause of "hard times" Turn
the money which now flows into the
absorbing channel OF liquor, into the
respectable channels of trade, and
there will be better times.
Close the saloons, and let the mon
cy which they handle accumulate in
the pockets OF the laboring people,
and then they can buy bread and
boots and clothes, and comforts and
lxuries.

ored prohibition not to fall into the mistake
that because whisky caused all other socia
evils 1t caused crime. He did not want to be
misunderstood, for he was as earnest tenn
perance man as any one in the room. 1t did
not follow that because this follows that that
that is the cause of this. He had not very
much faith in the statistical inquiries of the
relation of misfortune to crime. Often sta
tistics of crime and education and intemper-
ance in this country were to some extent fair
but were not worth the paper they were writ
ten on. Nothing on earth was more delusve
than statistics and nothing more dangerous
than statistics In the hands of man who did
not know what he was talking about. Mr..
Wines said he had been a statistician for
years by profession and knew how difficult it
was to get any satisfactory information into
tables and figures. 1t was impossible to prove
anything by statistics which was not known
before. They were valuable as additional in
formation, but proved nothing. He would give
more for one old lady's opinion as to what
was wrong in society than for the opinions OF
all the learned gentlemen speaking from the
stage. He believed in the scientific method
of investigation, but did not believe in calling
that science which is not science. Mr..
Wines said many came here with remedies to
offer, and all were glad to hear what they had
TO say, but this was not conference to adopt
remedies but to discuss them. The confer
ence was in favor Of morality, of sobriety,
education. etc., but picked out no one of
them. 1t let everyone think what he wanted
to think.
Mrs. Charlotte o. Van Cleve was called
on to speak concerning the work of caring
for poor women in Minneapolis and spoke
briefly.
A paper on "Cook County Institutions"
prepared by G. L. Frey, was placed on the

William j. McGargle of Chicago ex-
tended an invitation in behalf of that city
to the delegates returning via Chicago to
visit Chicago's institutions. Mr.. McGari-
gle wanted to say few words on reform
ing prisoners OH behalf of those outside.
From his experience as a police officer, he
believed one-third of the men who went to
the penitentiary should never go there, and
one-third who did go should never come
out.

Hennepin county statesman they had con-
siderately omitted his name from the states
which were being made up. 1t was very
kind of them to remember Mr.. GILFILLAN
in his Affections. Such tender sympathy
could not help but touch him. And 1t did
touch him. He stopped short i'll the labors
of his congressional career and took the
time to write letter to his constituents In
which he gives them to understand that ne
is not a worm-sort of statesman to be
trodden under foot by every poll
tician in the district. In fact he
states most distinctly that he is
is not a fit subject for the kind of sympathy
that's being bestowed upon him. He is one
of those heroic martyrs who loves to be
imposed upon for the public good, and wants
the boys to understand that he intends to
make another tussle for his seat i'll congress.
The shoes that he is wearing fit him quite
comfortably and he doesn't propose to turn
them over to anybody else. The substance
OF Mr.. GILFILLAN's letter is that he wants
a denomination, and he wants it bad. Of
course this announcement falls like bomb
shell in Mr. LOREN FLETCHER's camp. He
knows from experience that Mr.. GILFILLAN
is hard hitter in politics. and if he goes
into a canvass in earnest he is 60
ing to warm somebody's jacket.
And more than this, the order has
gone out from Republican head
quarters at Washington that Mr.. GILFIL-
Ian must be returned as reward for his
loyalty to the party. He is the only one
of the Minnesota congressman who has
stuck to the ironclad principles of the Re-
publican party through thick and thin. He
has been just as faithful to Republican
principles as if he had been representing an
iron manufacturing district of Pennsylva-
mia. So far as Mr.. GILFILLAN's record
goes, one wouldn't know that there was a
farmer, a merchant or a workingman in
his district. That is the kind of con-
gresham to please the Pennsylvania pro-
tectionists, and if Mr.. GILFILLAN doesn't
get the nomination, it will not be because
the Republican bosses at Washington will
not back him in the attempt
