Social enjoyment is another factor that
enters into long life. ] do not believe in
ultra fashionable society, and care moth
ing for it,. Tho late hours, the dissipa-
ton, the dreary formalitics, the shallow
minded talk and the general air Of n.y.
pocrisy make it very distastcful to mo.
There arc q great many among tho rich
people in New York at tho present time
who lose real social enjoyment. Having
suddenly acquired wealth, they have be-
come separated from their old friends
and acquaintance with whom, In earlier
days, they spent many n sociable and
Rcnsiblc evening. They give big dinners
to n lot of brninless snobs, s~ycophants
and parasites who will eat their food and
laugh at them behind their backs. Their
honest friendships of poorer days have
been broken, for their acquaintance, nos
being able to give big dinners, do not ac-
cept invitations to them provided they
are sent, and so the spirit Of true, whole
some enjoyment is soon lost.-P, T. Bar

THE DOG ONCE MORE.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I have never written
anything for the public to read, but I
feel just now, after reading of Mrs.
Hogan's trouble with the dog and her
unneighborly neighbor, that I want to
tell her [ truly sympathize with her,
and believe she will have the SYM
patty of every farmers wife, and the
farmer should have the same feeling.
They all like eggs and fried chicken,
and who is to furnish them but the
good wife, by her never-ceasing care
and watchfulness and battling with the
"good-for nothing suck-egg dogs"
But it seems some of the men are slow
to investigate and help remove the
trouble. No one inexperienced, knows
the annoyance these dogs give. Few
can estimate the loss Of eggs and
chucked they alone cause. | have
had three nests robbed in as many
days; one hen would have Matched in
a few days. Poor old hen |! She
CHECKED around the yard all day, the
only way she had to express her dis
appointed hopes. When 1 found that
a large setting of eggs I had placed
under a favorite hen in, as I supposed,
a secure place, had all been sucked
next day after placing them there. by
a worthless hound, 1 wished-well, I
wished for the privilege of feeding
u "law-makers" for awhile. I don't
think they would get either eggs or
fried chicken, by me My neighbours
experience with the dogs equals mine.
Now will you OF some of your many
readers please suggest a plan of de-
fence? The Judges charge was
Kill no more dogs. They had a
right: to go where they pleased" Yes,
they have unlimited privilege to 60,
to steal, to kill and eat. There is no
law to reach the kingly dog, the most
favored Of all stock; nc matter if he is
a thief, there is no way to get redress.
Our "law-makers" consider the dog
too small a thing-too unpopular a
subject to legislate on. Every negro
family has a dog. Some white families
have dogs I wonder if any one can
tell Of the good these lean, long, lank,
rowing hounds are-half enough to
balance the evil and annoyance they
cause. Is there no hope Of relief7 1

himself by coming to our rescue :?

NO CONFLICT, BUT PERFECT
ACCORD.

The Southern CuHivator says /: "The
Grange should say to the Alliance {:
Let there be no conflict between thee
and me, as we both aim at a COM
mon end, the elevation and prosperity
of the agricultural class"
There can be no conflict between
the Alliance and the Grange. Their
principles are Identical. Their high
and grand purpose is the same. They
differ only in the methods or the
policy by which a common object is
to be accomplished. The Alliance be-
lieve they have found a shorter,
surer, and more practical and more
direct plan for reaching the great OBJ
jects which are near and dear to every
true patriot Of the land, whether he
belong to the Grange or the Alliance.
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER is the Off
cial organ of the State Alliance of
North Carolina, its editor was an ac-
tive and jealous worker in the Grange
for sixteen years, and he cherishes its
noble principles to-day as he did then,
and he could not be otherwise, with
out being false to the principles Of the
Alliance. We should most seriously
question the loyalty of any member of
the Alliance, who would speak dis
paragingly of the Grange. 1t is a
noble order, and has done a great and
a grand work. ~a ,
We are fully aware that there is
not hat cordial fraternity between
the two organizations in this State,
which all good and true men in each
sincerely desire; but we are equally
aware of the cause. We are satisfied
that whatever of arrangement exists,
has been brought about partially by a
misunderstanding, or misrepresentation
of the purposes and spirit of the AL
lance, but chiefly by a little handful
of designing men. We calmly await
the day which is sure to come, when
these men will be unmasked and ex.
posed. We will live to see in North
Carolina the most thorough and har-
monious accord between these grand
organizations, and the most jealous
cooperation for the accomplishment

THE FARMERS IN POLITICS.
PRIMARY ELECTIONS.

( ia r. 4
Our recent articles on this. subject
have attracted much attentionfamong
our readers, and our views as to the
fairness justice and necessity OF the
primary election-system, has received
general commendation and endorse
ment. We know that thousands
among the best men of the State are
not, only tired of the farce and trick
cry and wire-pulling and bosslsm
which ordinarily characterizes pri.
mary meetings, but they are utterly
disguised with it. We know that it
has driven thousands of them into in
difference, and hundreds, if not thou
sands Of them, away from the polls.
We repeat it, these are among our
very best citizens. Tt is a duty they owe
to themselves, to their children, and
to their country, to have a voice in
all matters pertaining to the public
interests of the country, and if by any
method or system they r deprived
Of this right, they should inaugurate
and establish some system by which
their rights are secured. uur aaj
This can be done, and done only
through a fair and equitable system of
primary elections. Then the humblest
citizen can have as fair chance and
showing as the most expert manipu-
lator, or the greatest and most pow
erful in all the land.

AN EDITOR SUED FOR $4,000
DAMAGES.

d = 49,. e.. II
A ripple of excitement in our city
was caused last week by the announce
ment that Mr.. J. L. Stone, of this city,
had instituted proceedings against Mr..
S. W. Hearne, editor of the Wades-
boro ZnteUsgeacer, for criminal libel.
Mr.. Hearne, it appears, had criticised
in sever terms in his paper, the meth
DDS adopted by Mr.. Stone for the sale
of cotton seed, which Mr.. Hearne al
leges were bought by Mr.. Stone at an
ordinary price, and were being sold
by him to the farmers at $4,000 per
bushel. MI. Hearne was arrested and
brought to this city, accompanied by
several gentlemen of Arson and his
attorney, Mr.. j. A. Lockhart. Mr..
Lockhart, Messrs. Reade, Busbee &
Busbee, and Battle & Mordecai, ap-
peared as council for the defendant,
and Messrs. Pace, Holding & Heck,
Gray & Stamps, Fuller & Snow, and
George V. Strong, as counsel for the
plaintiff. Mr.. Hearne waived exami-
nation, and gave bond in the sum of
$1,000 for his appearance at Wake
Superior Court. This bond was
quickly given.
Immediately suit was entered against
him for $50, 900 damages, and the
plaintiff demanded a bond of $40, 900.
The defendant not agreeing, the mat
ter was taken before Mr. G.. D. Up
church, Clerk of Wake Superior Court,
and the bond was fixed at SIS, 900, and
was promptly executed. Mr.. Hearne
and his friends returned to Wades-
boro that night.
This case is entered for the March
Term of Wake Superior Court, and
promises to be lively and interesting.
Fi~rst-class legal talent is employed by
both parties, and we may look for
some interesting developments before
it is concluded. 1t is altogether prob
able that Mr.. Stones cotton seed, at
$4,000 per bushel, will be the most
thoroughly advertised article that has
been offered to the farmers of this
State in a long time. Another inter
esting phase Of the cas- may come
when the plaintiff shall execute his
purpose, as declared before Mr.. Up
church by his counsel, to institute
suit against the Alliance of Arson
county for certain resolutions alleged
to have been adopted by these farm
ers in regard to the alleged scheme of
Mr.. Stone.

Wednesday the 21st inst to address the
officers and members of our order. He is
very anxious that every member Of the
order should by present, as he desires to
present matters of great Importance for
their consideration.

to be present at the regular quarterly
meeting of their Association, which takes
place in this city or Thursday before the

Of a great and common object. No,
there issno conflict, nor can there be,
Between the Alliance and the Grange.
We know the principles, aims and
purposes of both. We know the
men who belong to both. The princi-
pies are as solid and as enduring as
the everlasting hills, and the members
are brothers in spirit, IN thought and.
In
Sometime since a member of the
Alliance published what heiclaihed;
were the principles of our order. That
noble old Roman, brother W. R. VIII
,liams, Master of the State Grange;
wrote us a communication showing
that our correspondent had quoted
ver5atam ct lteratam from the Declara-
ton of Principles of the Grange, and
was guilty of plagiarism, in that he
did not credit it to the Grange. Bro.
Williams was in admirable spirit and
in bis finest trim, when he addressed
himself to the task of dissecting our.
young friend, for we have seldom read
a finer composition, glittering with
pungent, piercing points of sarcasm,
and yet so charming in the tender
tone of its admirable spirit. We
spare our young friend the faying,
with the admonition: "Go and sin no
more" But the point we make is
this I: Every good granger who read
the article, detected at once, no doubt,
the words which he had so often heard
and read, and yet we venture the as
s~ertion, that no good member of the
Alliance, who had neve belonged to
the Grange, yer for a moment sus-
pected that the principles laid down
came from any other than the decla-
ration made by the Alliance. Put one
thousand such members of the ALI
ance in a room, and read the Declare
tions of Principles of the Grange to
them, and ask them what order, en-
dorses these principles, and the unani-
nous answer would be-the Farmers
Alliance. We differ, but only as to
the best, surest, most practical and
effective methods to reach our COM
mon object. And on this we will all
be agreed in the near future. ~

In some of these, States the legisla
lures retain the sole power of,regulat-
ing the railways by Statute and the
commission is only an advisory body,
while in others the commission is only
an examining board to report. In
nine of the States the commission has
the power to fix the rates on railways,
viz, California, Georgia, Illinois, Kan
sas, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, New
Hampshire and South Carolina.
r Illinois has as many miles of rail
way in operation as the States of Ala
bama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,

it's area is equal to only about one
