Why don't farmers take the pap
ers and quit signing notes for swind-
lers? 1t is reported that farmer
in this neighborhood was swindled
out of $285 las week by the fodder
binder trick by some sharper. Don't
sign any paper for a stranger. 1t is
sure to be sell. There ought to be
a law to hold the purchaser to strict
accountability for notes of this dis.
cripton. The purchaser of a note
in farming community has pretty
good idea of its character, but he
buys it at big shave and asks no
questions.

TIoN BILLS.
Washington Star,

1tON DtLi1ss
Washington Siar,
The Democrats are still undecided
~ to the course they will follow g
reach a vote on tho Mills bill within
some reasonable time, The PROPOSE
non is being discussed to amend the
rules 50 as to have the House meet
Ut 2 o'clock each morning and to dc.
away with TIE fixed time Of adjourn,
ment at 3 o'clock.
Mr.. McKinley's proposition to lay
aside the bill during the Chicago con ,
vention is met witha counter prop
osition to fix some time wher q vote
may be taken on the bill, Messrs.
Beed and Mckinley hold It out that
they are not opposed to voting on the
bill, but at the same time the con.
trolling members~in the party will
not agree to any change from the
policy they are now following, which,
if not met by some chance Of rule OF
other prompt action, will postpone
indefinitely a vote on the bill.
| In view Of this it is not likely that
the Democrats viii agree TO suspend
during the convention, but will pres
the bill, with great earnestness, so at
to get a vote or put the Republicans
| in the attitude of resisting by dilato
Try tactics any reduction Of the sur
plus. The chances are, however
that during the convention very III
tie progress with the bill will be pos
: sible. Several appropriation bill
have yet to be considered by th
House, and if the tariff Is NOT lai

certain that some of these bills WI

ga, who was defeated for the Reppb-
lican nomination for Lieutenant
Governor by Mr.. J. G. Pritehard, Of

on that worthy. reiterating IN a pub
lie speech the charge which originas
ted with him that Pritchard, while
revenue officer, was accessory 10 the
murder of an old man named Sny-
der, in Ashe county. Sir. Green Is
is one Of the editors Of the Watausa
Enterprise. IL is stated that three
pages OF that Journal Of last week
were devoted to veniilating the
charges against Pritchard, but that
Mr.. r z. Linney appeared on tht
scene, and after 900 copies Of that
paper had been printed induced the
| propiietors 10 commit them 10 The
flames, so that the whole issue Of
| that interesting publication has beer
been totally lost to its subscribers.
i Mr.. Linney is reported on good au'
thority to have said, within the pas
two weeks, that two Of the candi'
dates on the Republican State tickle
are odd scoundrels." From the inter
est he took at Boone last week il
preserving the fair name of Dir

yet: One of the delegates from Wa

corded us by our friends. We had
not been in Washington long before
we met our young friend, Lee

would think Lee had been in that

he goes from one point of interest to
another.
But it remained for our friend III.
