THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER, MA Is, 1888.

Auditor at the Democratic State Con
vention which meets this month. l
feel that l am fully competent for the
Office and that it will be generally so
conceded. If I were not perfectly
assured as to my competency I would
neither seek nor want the position.
TO the old soldiers of the State with
whom.I sustained a fellowship of
service and suffering throughout. the
four y~ears-of the war-from the be-
ginning to the last day at Appomattox
and who, having manifested their
appreciation of one soldier by giving
him an eight-year term in Office, now
seem disposed to give another old SOL
der a chance; to9the farmers and in
dustrial classes of the State, for the
promotion of whose interests 1 have
wrought long and faithful both with
tongue and pen; to that largest vot-
ing element in the Democratic Party,
which, while having in its ranks an
abundance of the best talent for the
filling o any Office in the gift of the
people, has been allowed but one rep
resentative on The Democratic State
ticket throughout the whole of %
years that have elapsed since the war
to that element, as we'll as to people
of other faiths who believe in fair play
and do not construe the demand for
"the separation of church and State"
to mean simply and exclusively the
separation of one particular church from
participation in the honors and emolu-
ments, of the State; to the leaders and
to the rank and file of the Democratic
party of North Carolina-I present
my most respectful solicitation for
nomination and election to the high
and honorable Office to which I aspire.
If elected 1 pledges every faculty Ipos-
sess to the faithful and efficient dis
charge Of its, duties.

For THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER,
STOCK LAW, FEED AND FER
TILIZER.

Last winter, when I raked my yard,
l hauled the leaves and trash and
stacked them at my hog pen to be
used as bedding during the year, as I
was going to keep my hogs penned
this summer. When [ throw it over,
[ noticed the hogs quit eating corn and
began eating something in the leaves.
On examination, l find the leaves. are
full of little, sound acorns, and that it
is these they prefer to corn. Though
these are called bitter, and for this
reason, some say, hogs don't like
them; yet l find at this season they
are sweetish, caused either by freezing
or packing away in the leaves. l
find, too, that acorns thus stacked in
leaves will keep better and longer than
if left in the woods, on the ground, as
they don't get wet to sprout or rot
them if stacked properly.
Now a great many poor people who
only have a few hogs, object to the
stock law, because their hogs can't get
the acorns. Let me say to one and
all, that hogs, allowed to run at large,
root and covert up and rot these acorns,
before the bitter is out of them so they
will eat them. Let me say again,
that 1 can keep my hogs up on less
feed, and they look better, than u n
ming out, roofing themselves to death.
In conclusion let me say, keep fewer
hogs, keep them up, rake close, under
all trees that bore acorns, haul and
stack them by your pen. When you
60 to feed three times a day on Stops
or corn, throw over a small armful Of
leaves, and you will save feed, have
fat hogs and have the best pen of
manure you ever saw, and you will
not complain at the stock law.

A CARD. -

1t has been, and is, the desire and
purpose of the undersigned to main
tain a modest and decorous attitude in
the matter of the nomination for State
Auditor by the Democratic State con
vention which meets on the 30th of
May, %preferring that his friends should
present and urge his claims rather
than seem in a public manner to do SO
himself. The publication of this card,
he hopes, will not be regarded as in
contravention of such desire and
purpose, in view of the following ex-
plantations respectfully submitted. For
the past two months inquiries have
come in from all sections. of the State
as to whether. the writer desires the
nomination for Auditor, and these in
quiries have invariably been accom-
panied with the assurances: I'VE are
for you against the field If you want
the nomination.: Please let us hear
from YOU" During these same two
months I have been kept closely CON
fined, and my attention entirely alb
sorbed, by the severe, and finally,
fatal illness of a member of my family.
1t has been and is, therefore, utterly
impossible for me to write to my
friends singly and make known to
them my desires and wishes in the
. premises. Hence the necessity for this
card, which, as 1 am an Editor (Agri-
culturaD and SO, in some sort and
measure, entitled to the courtesy which
obtaines among the editorial frater-
nifty, l ask the publication of it at the
hands of the Democratic press through
out the State. D @~
Twelve years ago l was laid aside
by overwork from the active duties
Of the ministry, with a permanent EN-
barge against engaging in theological
study or ministerial aeork, except in an
incidental way, but. with the full as
surance by eminent advisers that l
could very well engage in, and was
fully competent for, any other sort Of
aoork. This withdrawal from the &C.
tive ministry was, and is, fully under
stoodaby my brethren, who make it no
cause for censure but rather take
pleasure LII l1OlOIIlS LlO "hOhOfOA "
p~ortunity presents, as l am still ever
glad to serve them in any and every
way 1 can. This explanation is made
for those who are disposed to adopt
the sentiment of the old proverb that
"the shoemaker should stick to his
last" and who look with no favor, as
[ do not, upon a voluntarily secu-
larized ministry. The explanation is
made, too, because, the situation not
being understood, this particular OBJ
lection was used effectually last year
to defeat me- for an Office which I
much desire and which would have
been peculiarly congenial to my tastes
and training, After an enforced with
drawal from the active ministry in the
manner stated [ chose to be a farmer
and that has been, and is, my only
and exclusive occupation to date. My
name will be presented, with my full
consent, as a candidate for State

On April 18th, 1888, death visited our
community suddenly and removed from
our Alliance our beloved and esteemed
brother, D. A. Stone, in the Goth year Of
his age.
He professed religion early in life, was
a member of the Methodist Church at
Antioch, and was often heard to say he
was reconciled to Gods will whenever he
saw best to remove him from this earthly
tabernacle. He had only been a member
of our Alliance for two meetings. AL
ready his light had begun to shine, and
his sweet influence to spread over and
around the members. He leaves an aged
wife, whose grief seems too great a bur-
den to bear. Therefore be it - "a
Resolved By, his Alliance, That we ten
der to her our deepest sympathy, and
would commend her to Him who hath
said 81 will deliver, thee out of thy
trouble" AL--~ w
o Lord, thou didst dread thine own bitter cup,
And while she drinks hers, may thine arms bear
her up.
Resolued,- That a copy. of these resofu-
tons be furnished to the departed
brothers widow, and that we wear the
usual badge of mourning for thirty days.

life in trade, and perhaps here and. there n
sale made OF common and medium natives
that might be considered better than for a
day or two past, but there was no marked
improvement, and the general market yet
remains in an unsatisfactory condition, and
the least increase in the run would send
prices down again to where they
were on Monday, Tuesday and .Wednes-
day. The demand for Christmas steers
was not as sharp as yesterday,
when buyers wanted loads, whereas to-day a
a single steer or two was about what most of
the purchasers wanted. The run OF Texans
was moderate, and prices rather on an up
turn than otherwise, aud tins in its turn
helped the native canning stock and also had
the effect OF making good cows and heifcrs
sell better than on any day this week. Some

in this line to boast Of. The re

Friday, Dec. IA, 1883.
There was little or no change worth con
sidering in the cattle market to-day. The
receipts were light, but even that fact failed
to stimulate trade. The buyers were slow
to get into the saddle, and when they did
they showed very little inclination to buy.
The TRACE rs n whole could be summed up in
the few words. slow and weak. At the close
quite a good many cattle were found to have
been sold. The dressed beef operators paid
50. 40ai. so for fair to choice heavy corn-fed
steers, while the bulk of the cows sold at
S2.l5@3.O0, with a bunch of choice corn-fed
westerns at $3.50. The feeder market was
very poorly supplied again to-day and there
was almost nothing of that description on
sale. A few cattle which nave been fed n
little corn but are not good enough for beef,
though shipped IN for that purpose, are being
sold for feeders at prices right around $500.

NEW YoRK, Dec. Especial Telegram
TO THE Bee. l-~STOCKs-The stock market
was weak again at the opening this morning,
first prices being 4miG per cent below the
closing figures last evening. The failure OF
the Panama canal scheme in Paris induced
foreign holders to part with their American
securities more freely. This, with the large
amount Of gold engaged for export to-mor-
row, started the bears TO selling and they
succeeded in forcing prices down 4dl per
cent. Missouri Pacific and Richmond and
West Point common, however, are ex-
ceptions, which show slight advances over
the opening prices. Money is working
tighter and the bears predict much lower
prices, especially for Changers and South

Hogs.

Over 1000 hogs were on sale to-day,

selling at 500 and Sc. 05.
