A Dollar a Day.

We occasionally hear some ignorant
or else knayish democrat, even here in
enlightened Superior, repeat the silly
story that Gen. Harrison once said that
a dollar day was good enough for the
common laboring man. To all such
we commend the following proposition
of the Indianapolis Journal. The pro
position says:
Since Gen Harrison has been nom
mated it has been frequently circulat-
ed, and as repeatedly denied, that Gen.
Harrison, in a speech to railroad strik-
erS in 1877, said one dollar a day was
good enough for any workman. The
journal this morning contained an
editorial offering 81 900 on the part
of the Journal company to any one
proving the statement. The terms
were that a check for $1,000 would be
placed in the hands of Hon. W. H,
English on the Hon. JOS f. Melon
aid, to be paid by anyone authorized TO
represent the Democratic party, upon
the statement being proved, after be
ing presented to Judge n. b. Taylor,
Democrat, and a jury Of twelve Dem
ocrats. Today Harry :. New one, of
the proprietors Of the journal, sent a
check to Mr.. English who declined to
receive 1t. Tomorrow it viii be
sent to Mr.. Mcdonald. Both the dem
Ocratic state and county committees
decline 20 endorse the cha llenge.

AS an evidence OF what Superior is
doing in the shipping or lake traffic
line, we quote as follows from one who
has been looking up the matter for the
Pioneer Press. The figures were com
piled on the 10th inst:
The coal and wheat traffic of this
port this year is larger than that of
any other city of the size in the world.
Over 200, 900 tons of coal will be the
footingS up at the docks of the Lehigh,
the OrthWestern, the st. Paul 4 Pa
citic and the Ohio companies. Duluth
docks viii receive about 500, 900 tons.
Up to date the elevators here have
shipped 5,573, 4l6 bushels of grain, aud
the Duluth elevators 1927 ,5S4 bushels.
The saw mills of Peyton, kimball x
Barber and Jones & Murray have turn
ed out u 900 600 feet of lumber, l0,-
100000 shingles and 100000 lath.
Over one-fifth of the entire tonnage
passing through the 500 canal this sea
son is freight coming to or going from
Superior. The Lehigh company fired
up fourteen OF its fifty coke ovens this
morning, and is making the first coke
manufactured on Lake Superior.

SERvICEABLE FENCE.

One That Serves Its Purpose Well and
Costs hut Very Little.
have found my fence of smooth wire
and board effective and cheaper than
any other ! ever built. In a small
pasture adjoining the barn (where We
turn out horses and have kept one OF
more cows night and day. stock have
several times broken down or jumped
over the board fence on two sides. but
have not in three years broken through
or over the wire. We use plain No.
fence wire, single strand. costing me
three cents pound. and it weighs
about one pound to the rod. l used
in this fence but three wires
and one strip OF board. three inches
wide. but would use four wires if
building another. l have another lot
fenced with five wires and the strip of
board. which turns calves and sheep.
Fence boards now cost me l cent a
foot. running measure, for 6-inch
wide. or 500 per thousand feet. so you
see that five wires cost less than one
DOdIu. luts IL Hot stii tuc SdNlue. HoW-
ever. for one post every thirty-twO feet
is all that is needed for the wire fence.
while good board fence requires a
post every eight feet. Then the cost
OF blu ilding the board fence is -four
times that of building with wire.
With the end posts well braced there
is very little trouble in keeping the
wires of the right tension. After the
wires are stretched and stapled to the
posts. We drive n stake in the center
between the posts and staple the wires
to it. We then set up strips Of board.
three inches wide and four and half
feet long. every four feet Uhree
OF these strips filling each
space between stake and a

uprights. and then our three-inch board
is nailed to these with "a single clinch-
nail at each. A wire fence is never
safe without this board, rs stock, par

Negro Alliances.

j. j. Rogers. Of Apex. N. c.. gives
some facts about the Alliances being
organized among the negroes. He
says: 1.-The colorcd Farmers Alliance
is separate and distinct organization
from the white Alliance. 1t is regu.
larry chartered. and according to ito
constitution is composed of colOred
members alone. Its principal objects
are 10 educate the cOlOred race. to
make them more Industrious. make
them more frugal. more reliable. more
thoughtful, more faithful. better PEG.
pie. better citizens. and to better the if
condition financially. The or.
der originated in Texas. on
the 10th day Of December. 1886.
by sixteen colored men and cit.
liens of Texas. They set forth
their declarations Of purposes and
assigned reasons why they desired to
incorporate and organize for them
selves.
1t is true that the colored Alliance 10
spreading rapidly, now being in ten
different States, with a general super.
intendent in each State. I have &C.
cepted the position as general super
intendent for North Carolina. think
the cOlored alliance is organized with
good intentions and with the hope Of
accomplishing much good to the race
for which it is organized. And. too,
If kept separate as 1t is organized.
and only aided by the members of the
white Alliance and all other good PEG.

both white and cOlOred. "-Rdleigh m

= Sheep for Wool and Mutton.

About ten years ago I began with a
small dock Of twenty scrub ewes and
one thoroughbred Merino buck. l soon
numbered one hundred head, graded
one-fourth to one-half Merino. had
. strong constitution and fine fiber of
WOOL but wanted still better; de-
sired . larger sheep for mutton, more
rapidly-growing and earlier-maturing
lambs; wanted more wool. too. The
next cross was with Cotswold, q high.
grazing sheep adapted to Kentucky and
Tennessee breed that Colonel
Richard Peters and other eminent au-
thorities considered unfit to breed on
the cotton plantations of middle Geor-
giA Ny success has been equally re-
variable with this large frame. long
comb mutton sheep. l have kept as
many as eighty to one hundred head,
generally selling of in early spring the
buck lambs for mutton. and OCCASION
ally . buck and small flock to some
neighbor for breeding purposes. From
twenty head worth fifty dollars. with
the buck, l have in ten years sold wool
and mutton amounting to five hundred
dollars. Il have lost but few sheep by
dogs. and my fiocks have been very
healthy, entirely exempt from foot rot
and other diseases that these animals
arc subject to on the Downs of England
and in some of our Northwesterly
States.
Undoubtedly the Merino is the sheep
TO begin with; above all others he
shows the greatest vigor Of constitu-
ton and adaptability to climate, food.
etc, and by crossing on the Cotswold
or Southdown, you have both wool and
mutton. the latter preferable for
mutton. but for all purposes l
prefer the Cotswold. / feed
my sheep in winter, two or three
months only, on turnips. cotton seed
and q little bran, keeping them always
fat Itry to have a good bite of rye
for the ewes and lambs from about JAN
nary to February when lambs should
drop. The earlier the lambs appear
the better. In my humble judgment,
January lamb is worth two March ones.
My sheep and cattle pay enormously in
treading land and patches that pay for
feeding them during the hard part of
winter. have tried to encourage the
growing Of wool and mutton, as there
is. think. nothing more profitable.
