On September lst ! vt the French
government took forciDle possession
o; the telephone system throughout
France upon the broad ground that
the telephone system IL too vast Il
monopoly to be permitted to remain
In the hands OF private corporation,
and that, like the postal telegraph
systems throughout Europe, II
should be run by the government
for the benefit Of the people. The
chartered corporation which con-
trolled the telephone system In
France, the Societe Generate DIES
Telephones, resisted the government
10 the end, and to the last moment
refused To furnish inventories or
give any information concerning
the value of Its property. Ii has nj.
ready commenced legal proceedings
in hope of securing II heavy in
demnity for the loss of so valuable II
monopoly. But Its desires or inten
tlons In this matter will scarcely be
regarded; aud meanwhile the
French government Is conducting
the telephone service without break
or interruption. As II first result of
government control arrangements
have been made for reducing the
annual rental Of telephone from
Sl35 10 $75, and the cost of five
milnle-' talk is 10 be five cents in
stead Of ten cents. The scant cere-
mony with which this great
monopoly has been handled by the
French authorities is certainly in
marked contrast with the ada.inis-
trative methods that prevail In this
country.

A CALIFORNIA SENSATION.

IIeIdluua COurler.l
1t is reported that the sales of the "Califor-
mia Remedy" joys Vegetable sarsaparilla,
have grown within few months till they are
now really sensational. The way the fame of
this production has spread is simply marvel
ous. Six months ago it was unknown. To
day it is all over the country. 1t is authorita-
lively stated that they have been actually
giving it away in San Francisco to people
afflicted with dyspepsia, sick headaches, in,
digestion and liver troubles, not to be paid
for unless it cured. Such practical tests are
so startlingly convincing as to be almost SEN
sational. 1t Is stated that two of the active
principles of the new remedy belong to the
vegetable kingdom of California, and are SO
well known to us all under common names
that it would surprise us il told them. But
we are not surprised at anything Californian,
and this recent discovery of the new medici-
nal virtues of its vegetable kingdom is but
another instance of the astonishing possibili-
ties Of a soil and climate like ours.

Effects Of Labor-Sa,ing Machinery.

In the manufacture of textile
fabrics one girl can do to-day what
two generations ago would have NJ
quired the united labor of 100 per-
sons. II Is needless Ia say that one
girl does not get as much wages as
loo persons used Ia get, but there Is
some compensation In the cheapness
OF the goods produced. The boot
aud shoe industry shows that sixty
years ago shoe-making was ex-
clusively limited Ia men, whose
average production was 40 pairs a
year. Forty years ago women aud

OXFORD, N. c., April Is, '89.
Mr.. EDITOR Our section has been
pretty generally singed lately by
woods fires, and considerable damage
done by burning fences and some
houses, and but for the desperate
efforts of the people large number
of houses would have been burned.
It is doubtless blessing to have the
ticks and potato bugs thinned out, but
unless we raise more meat this year
than last, it is bad plan to be burn
ing of all the rabbits. What is the
matter with the country any how? 1t
seems that every thing will happen at
once: Fire burning up everything !!
Sheriffs selling out everything Rail
roads fighting Niggers all going
away! No money in the country
and as the frog said when his tail
dropped off, "the Lord only knows
what will happen next"
The other day, as 1 looked out of
my window and saw a field full of
grown-up negroes playing base ball in
the middle of the week, thought,
surely tbts is the cause of it all; but
just then several spanking teams of
fine horses and shining vehicles were
driven by like flash by some ''young
bloods, who were not only idle, but
spending lots Of money on themselves
and the idle young ladies with them,
and this called to my mind the fact
that so naomy young men are trying to
be +" bloods;" and some Of them so
poor, and so common, and out of place
in thing you call society, that perhaps
the country would be better off if the
achate folks will work more. But we
are taught in the Good Book that
charity is the strongest element in
Christianity, and so I felt greatly re-

About l6, 100000 dozen eggs are

An 8O-acre farmer here will sell
about half a ton of pork year on
an average, say $50 worth about. His
hogs must be shut up in yard or
pen most of their lives-n land for
them to run on. l should think you
might sell pork to the value of ST. per

the additional labor. If you get good

on clover in your climate and no great
amount of grain will be necessary to

September, say at eight months old.

been mostly in the hands of few
City men, but at present it bids fair to

AN APPEAL TO THE BROTHER.
HOOD. .-

Alliance No. 449 sends greetings to
you and all the brethren. AS you
seldom hear from us, hope you will
not consider this simply begging
scheme. Our lodge is in prosperous
condition-increasing in number every
meeting g-and we hope to accomplish
a great deal, socially, as we'll as fnan-
cially, though we are without house
to meet in. About the first of the
year 1889 some miscreant, without
the fear of God before him, did
feloniously set fire to and burn up our
hall, a nice chapel belonging to Fall
ing Greek School and the Masonic
Fraternity. Said brute of the human
type was an enemy to the school trus-
tees and the Alliance brotherhood.
We, the members of Alliance No
449, are anxious to rebuild, and ask
your help and the cooperation of the
Masonic Fraternity; by combining,
both orders can build nice house
and not be worsted much. Please
aid US through your excellent journal
Any contributions, however small
will be gratefully received.

lieved when | could think of some
thing else to pat the blame on than
the people-and that is the exceed
ingly, supremacy and sublimely poor
crop we made last year. The next
day, after having wrestled with the
sheriff about one of those three
things, Bro. Fails Turner says man
never stops to think about tax and
then going through the humiiating
ordeal of riding out of town on a
load of nasty, sinking old Western
hay land yet it is so precious). I was
consoling myself with the thought
that it is all because of a bad crop
year, when, looking up the path. l
saw my good old neighbor coming,
whose bestting sin is in believing that
whatever he has is better than what
anybody else has, and always know
ing something bigger than anybody
else knows We took seats together
on mother earth, and after telling
awhile about the prospect for collards
and snaps, I asked him if he ever
knew year when worse crop was
made than last year, and one that left
the people in worse condition.
Yes" he said, !" about forty five
years ago." What caused it, said L,
drought? "No," said he, "worse
than that-the army worms; they eat
up every grown thing upon the face
of the earth-even to the broomstraw;
and when they had eaten up every
thing else, they fell into eating one
another. 1 took up eight in piece
of paper, and before l could get home
they had eaten one, leaving only
seven. I put them in bottle, and by
night they had eaten themselves all
up but one; and by next morning he
had eaten himself up. and there
wern't nary one left" Of course I
had to give up, and feel greatly en-
couraged that, although there has
been a "wus year than last year, !"
"we are all here yet" or at least
enough of the Farmers Alliance are
left to see that some who were mem
bers of the last Legislature can have
the pleasure of staying at home next
time and attending to their little
family matters.
Very respectfully,
JOHN BUCK.
