DR.. GR1ssoM has resigned, the pub
lie can now breathe freer, and the State
press will take rest on this much dis
cussed subject. 1t is unfortunate that
this resignation did not follow imme.
diately after DR.. Grissom's acquittal.
In not rendering it then he made the
mistake of his life. In that event he
would have gone out with much of the
respect and sympathy of many of those
who have taken such an active part in
securing his removal.

HE DIES HARD.

DR.. Grissom dies hard. He does
not go out the Office he held so long
without savage snarl and a ferocious
kick. In the News- Observer of Sun
day he publishes lengthy card giving
his "reasons for resigning.' He goes
for the Governor and State Chronicle
newspaper in a virulent manner and
uses strong and indicative language.
This will do DR.. Grissom no good.
He should have resigned before he
saw he was forced to do so-indeed,
he ought to have rendered his resigna-
ton Immediately after his trial and
acquittal-and then not with display
of bad temper as he has done. After
his denunciations of the Governor and
the State Chronicle, DR.. Grissom says
1t would be folly indeed to ask for
or expect anything but injury and
embarrassment, to say nothing more,
at the hands of a Board sent here to
perform the play of my humiliation
at the dictation of an Executive so re-
CARELESS of law, decency or justice. l
have therefore rendered my resigna-
ton to Board of Directors under
whom | would not serve, and who
come with denunciations, and the de-
clared purpose to outrage me.
To the people of North Carolina
who may always be trusted to judge
with uprightness, when the sober second
thought has time to assert itself, l SOL
EMMY appeal against this high-handed
tyranny of the State Executive, and
with patience, confidently await the
verdict of popular vindication.

Is TT A MERITORIOUS ACT TO COM,
NIT MURDER2

The killing of Judge Terry by DEPT
uty Nagle seems to have been a justi|
fable, meritorious and commendablf
act. As he had been ordered to pro-
tect the person of Justice Tield at any
hazard, he simply and honorably pert
formed his duty. A Deputy Nagle il
other sections and States in this couli:
try would be boon to the law-abid :
ing and law-respecting people. This
is our opinion unbiased by party pref,
udice or sectional hatred. /!
We find the above quoted article IN
the Biblical Recorder. 1t appears as
an original " leaded' article though
not on regular editorial page. The
GOLD LEAF is both panied and sur
prised to find such sentiment given
expression to in a journal of that char
acter. Here we have the sad specta-
Gle Of an Ambassador of Christ COM
mendlng and applauding the killing
of man who had simply slapped the
face of another, and as far as is known
would have inflicted no greater pun
ishment. Many intelligent people 40
not think the killing of Judge Terry
by Deputy Nagle justifable, but grant
that it was, and we fail to see how the
sending of a human soul reeking with
sin (and the Recorder must think
Terry was very bad man, or it would
not glory in his violent taking off as it
does), into the presence of the Great
Judge at whose bar all men must give
an account for the deeds done in the
flesh, totally unprepared, can be re-
garded very " meritorious and COM
mendable act" We have been taught
that Christ came not into world to
destroy, but to save sinners, and that
God finds no pleasure in the loss of a
single human soul.

Potato Growing.

The great mistake of those who be-
gin the cultivation of potatoes is that
they do not commence soon enough.
They find the price high at planting
time conclude then that crop will
be profitable investment, pillow their
land, buy seed at high price, put it
in with as little care as possible, and
generally make failure. Either the
crop is poor, or the price at selling
time is low, as it is very apt to be
when seed potatoes are dear. If we
wanted to give the best assurances of
a successful result, we would reverse
every one of the conditions herein
specified. Plant most freely when
potatoes at planting time are cheap.
The preparation of the ground ought
to begin at least the fall before. If
it is a sod, cover it literally with
whatever manure can be spared.
Most of this will, by the next spring
work its way down through the soil,
fertalizing and making active the
fertility in the particles as it follows
down the grass or clover roots. The
shelter to the surface will make the
grass leaves turn pale, and as soon
as the land is plowed, the manure
and grass roots will cause a rapid
fermentation, that will keep the soil
moist all summer. On land thus pre-
pared the grower is reasonably sure
of a profit, whether the selling price
of potatoes is high or low. He will
grow them as cheaply as anybody,
and it is cheap growing, not high
prices, that insures potato profits

The Care of Calves.

After the fourth day the calves will
not need any fresh milk; sweet skim
med milk warmed to 80 deg. is the
best food for calves up to a month or
two old, and it is point for care that
they are not over-fed. Six quarts of
milk daily is enough for the first
week; s quarts for the next two
weeks and 10 quarts for the next
month, after which time / have al
ways given the calves a small guam
tity of wheat, bran aud fine corn
meal, beginning with two or three
ounces and gradually increasing up to
a pound daily, when the calf is three
months old. In the grass season,
the calves should be put on grass and
tethered by light chain with a swiv-
ell in it to a stake in the ground. In
the winter they are given some of the
best young clover hay as soon as they
will eat it. | have given my calves
the warm milk for four or five months
and have found it most useful in Civ
ing them strong and robust constitu-
tons, plenty of bone, large digestive
power, and making them excellent
COWS. I have had calves so
reared which came in with their first
calves at 20 months to two years old
and made 5 to 81 lbs. of butter week
". The calves are put in stalls in
the COW stable the first winter, and
fastened and treated as the COWS are,
being carded and brushed, and their
udders rubbed and the teats pulled
as if being MIXED. This trains them
to the usage of the COWS, and pre-
vents the common vices which spoil
so many COWS. The calves are bred
as soon as they indicate the desire
for it. for early precocity is most
important part of the training Of COWS.
When they come in they are treated
as their dams were, and never evince
any worry or nervousness at the ab-
scence of the calf, and having been
trained to it, offer no objection to be-
ing MIXED, and never so far as L
have known, hold up their milk. The
Jersey COWS are MIXED for 9 or 10
months, and are not bred until then;
this gives them long milking period,
or at least tends to it. [ have fol-
lowed this system consecutively
through several years, and have rear
ed a whole herd of COWS up to s or 9
years old. / am very confidently
sure that this very moderate trouble
and care taken in rearing calves will
be repaid in the most satisfactory
manner, with COWS of double the val
ue of their dams.-H. s. an Country
Gentleman.

What is SCrofuIa

1t is that impurity in the blood which, accumu-
lating in the glands of the neck, produces I'M
slightly Jumps swellinGs; which causes painful
running the arms, legs, or feet; when
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often
causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin
of pimples cancerous growths, many other
manifestations usually ascribed to " humors.
1t is more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for serofula combines the worst
possible features of both. Being the most ancient
it is the general of all diseases or affections
for very few persons entirely free from 1t.
How can it be cured? By taking Hoods Sarsa-
oarilla, which, by the cures it has accomplished
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections OF the Dlooo
Hoods Sarsaparilla is unequalled, and some OF the
cures it has effected are really wonderful. Ii you
suffer from scrofula in any of its various Iorls'
