For THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
THE FARMERS CONVENTION
= THE "HALLELUJAH
CHORUSr

AS an humble participant in the
proceedings. of the late meeting Of
farmers in Greensboro, I wish to bear
testimony to the good impressions
made, at least upon me.
1t was a large and intelligent body
of representative farmers, and evil
IDENTIFY showed that they felt the
weighty Importance of their work.
The farmers of North Carolina are
determined to bring about a better
state of things on their farms and in
their own homes, and to do this they
see the necessity of wise legislation,
hearty cooperation and the general
education of farmers, as we'll as men
Of other callings. They are in earnest
about the Agricultural and Mechanical
College. They are evidently not
ashamed or afraid to speak right out
in meeting about the Agricultural
Department and the immigration
Agency. Well, from what [ could
understand they are on the right
track. .
These annual gatherings will be of
incalculable benefit to the agriculture
of the State if the same spirit of in
quiry, moderation and fairness rules
as it certainly did in the late meeting
at Greensboro. ~
[ am fully aware, Mr.. Editor, that
there are a great many "Mr. Dismal
'Glumes still to be found in many
parts of North Carolina, who will
find fault and croak. 1:;.~s
"'Twas croak, croak when darkness fills the air.
And croak, croak, croak, when the skies are bright
and fair " =
Well, [ suppose we will have to
bear with this large element in our
midst until the impacted ~cerunsnouss
obstructions have been removed from
their a~uricular appendages. :"
"He that hath ears to hear, let him
hear" ~ - So. - b.
In the new campaign for educated
agriculture and handicraft, we have:
the "Hallelujah. chorus" that shall
lift up the Responding and put new life
into all our work. - II
The speech of Mr.. Primrose, Chair
man of the Board of Trustees, On the
Agricultural College," showed his
familiarity with the great work in
hand, and his earnest zealIcommended
him. and his cause to everybody.asfI
heard a professional man say that just
as soon as his boy .(who is now in ceE1
lege). completed his regular college

CURE FOR cHAPPED

Wash the hands with fine soap, and
before removing the soap scrub them
with a tablespoonful of Indian meal,
rinsing thoroughly with soft tepid
water, wipe the hands perfectly dry,
then rinse them in a very little water
containing q teaspoonful Of pure gly-
cerine, rubbing the hands together
until the water has. ~evaporated. The
glycerine must. be pure or it will sirri-
tate instead of healing.-A8.

tending the task to warrant the assertion
that this work is highly creditable to the
energy and intelligence of COMMISSIONS
Jones. II covers a period of only ten
months and is the first of this character
ever published in this State, and yet its
pages might be studied with profit by
the best informed of our citizens. We
bespeak for Commissioner Jones the
kindly and cheerful aid of all good citi-
zens to whom he may apply in collecting
facts and figures for his next report.
North Carolinians need to know more of
North Carolina. The typographical exc
cution of the work s~ustains the highrepu-
tation of the we'll known publishing
house of Messrs. Edwards & Broughton,
of this city. -:
= Never in the history of our State could.
we boast Of nobler illustration of the.
achievement of e%nterprising, business
talent than is to found today. We can.
put our hand on hundreds of men all over
the State whose indomitable, lofty pur-
pose, guided by discreet judgment, has
brought them from %obscurity, through.
trials of the severest character, to the
goal of splendid success. One among the
most prominent of these is Capt. Ed.
Parrish, Of Durham. He has just COM
pleted his mammoth warehouse, ll0x225
feet, and last week, Notwithstanding the
snow, ice, rain, slush, swollen streams and
mud without limit and almost without
bottom, when it's doors were thrown
open, 19l, 40 pounds of tobacco from all
sections, were crowded into it and sold
for the sum of S34, 54S.G3 or an average
Of $l9.07 per hundred for all grades, in
including trash. We think we can
truly say that no warehouse man in
the whole country enjoys more fully
the unlimited confidence of the farm
ers than does Capt. Parrish. THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER, as our readers
know, pu6fs nc man for pay, and it be-
lieves that if a North Carolinian deserves
applause or praise, that it is wrong, to let
him drop into his grave before it is
awarded to him. Epitaphs on tombstones,
extolling the virtues of the dead, may
and often do deceive. If our fellows de-
serve well, let as say SO in their lifetime.
Durham is and ought to be proud of Capt.
Parrish, and the whole State is proud Of
such men.

CONDUCT OF THE CAMPAIGN.

Parties represent principles. Men
band themselves into parties because they
believe their own interests and the welfare
of the state will be subserved thereby.
The great mass of the republican party,
though Numerically opposed to demo
cratic principles, are, no doubt, honest in
their belief, opinions and convictions, to
which they have as much right as the
democrat, the coalitionist under the
Marion Martin banner, the Union labor
or the non-partisan of the Mayor Broile's
stripe have to their opinions and princi-
pies. Then, why should we denounce man
as a blockhead, crank, idiot or rascal,
simply because he holds opinions con-
trary to our own, and stands on a plat
form to which we are opposed! In the
present campaign many good, honest
meaning people, misled by the sophistries
of designing leaders, have been decoyed
into the republican party and other
political organizations opposed to the
Texas democracy. These especially it
would be unjust as we'll as unfeeling to
denounce. Rather should they be rer.-
soned with, shown their mistake, and pre-
vailed upon to come back to the demo-
cratic fold from which they may have
strayed.
Above all do we hope to see the cam
paign free from the personalities and
bitter ranoor that marked, in some coun-
ties, the Texas elections of 1884 and
1856. The national contest turns on
great principles, not men, and personal
ism should have as little to do with the
state campaign.

has claimed this his statement is incredi-
BILE, and it is useless to seek for such COWS.
There are none of them. A good COW is
one thet will make ten pounds of butter
weekly with good pasture and six quarts

will make twelve pounds of butter weekly
with ten or twelve quarts daily of this
feed with the same pasture. The more
feed a COW can turn into milk and butter
the better that COW is. There are good
COWS of all breeds, and more among the
native COWS, if they are looked up and
tested, than in all the pure bred COWS
together. But few farmers give COWS
chance to show what they can do when
we'll treated, while a pure-bred COW is
stuffed with all she can swallow. Pick IN
the best looking native cows you can get
with slender makeup and large udders,
and then feed all they will eat of the best
food, and you will probably get a salts.

Of milking teef her and get another and

TIE REPUBLICANS TO HOLD A CoNvEN-
TON.

The committee appointed by the repub-
lican convention held in Fort Worth last
April, to seloct state republican ticket
for the coming campaign, by appoint
ment met here yesterday and decided not
to assume the responsibility of putting
ticket in the field, but determined to call a
state convention for that purpose to
meet in Fort Worth at a time not as yet
designated. Such decision we think was
pointed the committee to trans
act the work they now have
declined to perform was called,
if we are correctly informed, not to put
forth a state ticket, but to nominate
electors and select delegates to the
national republican convention that met
in Chicago. This being so, it is question
able if they could appoint committee to
attend to any outside matter. But be
this as it may, such mode of selecting
state ticket is not method pleasing to
the people. Ours is government of and
by the people, and the mora you make it
government of delegated power the
further you get from out the control of
the people and the less you express their
wishes. People desire their officers to
come out fresh from nominating
bodies selected by themselves. They do
not desire the authority delegated a Ger
tain body of men, by these transferred
to some other body, call it a committee or
by any other name. The people do not
believe in conducting their political af-
fairs by a power of attorney. 1t smacks
too much of ring politics; its savors of
bossism. The committee recognized these
truths, they saw there would be more
satisfaction throughout the republican
ranks if peoples convention and not a
subordinate committee selected the state
ticket to represent the republican
side in the pending contest. And |
the committee displayed commendable
wisdom in preferring to relinquish the
honor conferred upon them, that the |
party might be completely harmonious
and that there might be no occasion for
friction. The curiosity of the state as to
the makeup of the republican ticket
must accordingly be held in check for
while longer.

THE REPUBLICAN SENATE DISPoRTING
ITSELF

The United States senate, the American
House of Lords in truth, is now engaged =,
yes is very hard at work, doing nothing,
except attempting to make political
capital for the republican party. They
have given up the idea of scoring a point
on the pension business. The record of
President Cleveland's vetoes is too clear
and straight for them to besmirch it.
They have finally discovered that the pen
sion question is a dangerous one for them
to nose about in. In the fisheries matter
they are nonplussed and are seeking a
back-alley exit. But there is one ever ready
and ever available topic-the bloody shirt
Hedged about at every point, they pro-
coed to wave that ensanguined garment
with the vehemence incident to the accu-
mulated anger generated by their
added, their Pelion upon Ossa
piled grievances. The alleged Mis-
sissippi municipal election frauds
furnished them the excuse, if any
were needed, for fresh outbreak, and
Senator Wilson, of Iowa, has the floor.
He unbosoms his long pent up outraged
feelings in language trembling with
hatred of the south and distressing
anguish for the veal of his beloved
country. His agony is pitiable, his patri-
otism bristles out all over him, and beads
of perspiration stream down from his
massive brow. Among other things of
weighty moment he thus unburdens his
fears i'll reference to the approaching
presidential election: "If the democratic
party should succeed, that party would do
more in the future than it has done in the
past in reference to the thirteenth, four
teenth and fifteenth constitutional amend
ments. Success then would ultimately
put that party in possession of a
majority Of both houses of congress and
of the supreme court of the United States,
and then, What would stay the overthrow
of these amendments so much denied by !
the solid south, the dominant wing of the
democratic partyY" All this is the most
veritable dry rot. 1t may amuse the re-
publican orators, but it surely can do
neither them nor their cause any good.
True, honest and noble men in the south
and in the north-all of them recognize
the war with its fearful issues, incidents
and sufferings is over. The south grace
fully and nobly bowed to the results of that
war. 1t acknowledged the supremacy of
the national constitution. 1t has in good
faith accepted the binding effect of the
