S

. We endorse sveryiword III praise OF
Capt. Alexander penned by The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER. It is in error, how
ever, we believe, when it charges that
the purpose of the Maxton Union was
to impair the confidence of the ALI
ance in Capt. Alexander. The Max
ton Union was simply misinformed and
was hasty in its publication. The
editor of the Union would not do a
covert act Chronicle
The above is the comment of our
clever neighbor, the Stale Chronicle, on
an article of last week, which that
paper quotes entire, and which was
based OF a paragraph from the Maxton
Union which we found in a Charlotte
exchange. We respectfully submit
that the Chronicle was not only "hasty
in its publication of It's well-meant
criticism, but it must have been equally
"hasty in reading our article and the
paragraph on which it was founded.
We charged nothing on the Maxton
Union. That paper based its remarks
solely and entirely on information it
had obtained, and which it was careful
not to say was true. The PROGRESSIVE
was after the informant and not the
Union as the Chronicle will see by a
less "hasty" perusal of our article.

THE PROBLEM OF "LOSS AND
GAIN" FOR THE LEGIS-
e, .LATURE.

When we reflect that 1885, sos ma
tive North Cardinals were living in
other States in the year 1880, 1t
would seem that a little of the money
and effort expended to get people from
abroad to come and settle in our State,
might be more properly and profit
ably employed in an effort to induce
our own people toastay here. Our
good old State stands with out
stretched arms ~imploring people to
'ecome and SETTLE" while one-fourth
Of her children are 'scampering off to
other States. Somehow, we a but
regret that our. two excellent and
patriotic Governors, in their recent
able messages to the Legislature, did
not say more in regard to the material
and industrial development of our
State, and Of those things which per-
tain more directly to the up-building
of the masses of~our people. ~231.

SOLID

From all sections of our State and
of the South comes the cheering assur-
ance from the Alliances that they are
going to plant less cotton, use less
guanos, incur less debt and make more
of home supplies. The farmer who
has his barn well stored and his own
bread and meat and is free from liens
and mortgages, al bid defiance to
trusts and combines and heartless
spectators. These are worth more to
him than whole warehouses of mort
gagged cotton, and il. the Alliance shall
teach our people only this great and
all-important truth and should die to-
morrow, its mission would indeed be
one of grand achievement. Home
raised supplies is the only true and
safe basis of solid independence for
our farmers. We bid the Alliance
men God speed in this grand work of
agricultural reform

MR.. MCGILL'S BILL TO PRO-
TECT LABORERS AND
OPERATIVES.

MI. McGill, of Cumberland has in
troduced a bill which has passed the
lower House and which will no doubt
become a law. It is the practice among
corporations, mills, &C., to pay their
hands with tickets or checks, which
are not transferable. Usually the re-
ceivers of these tickets have to trade
them out at the Company Store"
They are worthless for anything out
side the store. The object of the bill
is to make, the party who issues the
ticket redeem it when presented-it
matters not by whom, thus allowing
the operative to use them in the pur-
chase of supplies from others than the
employer. r

A REMEDY FOR HOG CHOLERA.

Bro. Il. G.. Worsely, of Rocky Mount,
furnishes us with the following recipe
for the cure Of hog cholera. He saws
he has known it tried time and again in
his neighborhood, and has used it him.
self in three cases, and it proved
effectual in every instance. He says:
When you find your hog has cholera,
give him a lump of tar Il mean pine
tar as large as a hen egg. Take it on
a paddle and put it on the root of his
tongue and he viii swallow it. Then,
Immediately after, give him one cup
of elder juice This is administered
by taking an old shoe and cutting a
hole in the toe; take the hog by the
fore feet and stand him on his hind
feet, with his back toward you; insert
the old shoe in his mouth, when he
squeals, and pour the elder juice in
the shoe. This remedy wa told me
by a colored man by the name of
Alfred Willeford, who lives near by.
He has had sick hogs, but l have not
known Of his losing the first one, and
/ send you this recipe fully believing
that it's publication will prove a bless
ing to all farmers who raise swine"

Mr.. Williams, a bill to prevent
gambling in futures; makes it unlaw-
full to deal in options or contracts for
the future sale or delivery of cotton,
corn, wheat, oats, rye, meat or lard,
and provides that any debt, in what
ever form, bond, note Or account made
upon such a transaction shallbe utterly
void and un~collectable.
y bill to abolish the Homestead
was tabled.
Senator Payne's bill authorizing
Justices of Peace to issue process in
certain cases based upon contracts, to
other counties than their own, failed
to pass by ayes 4, noes 49,.
The House passed a resolution pro
hibiting unsuccessful contestants for
seats in that body from receiving any
pay.
MI. Foscue, member from Jones,
who held certificate Of election, was
declared unseated and S. S. Green, the
contestant from Jones, was seated.
Senator Payne introduced a bill to
amend article nine, section two, of the
Constitution, provides that the school
fund for the white and colored races
shall be kept separate and distinct;
that taxes raised for school purposes
from the taxation of the property and
polls Of. whites be applied exclusively
to the education of white children;
and all taxes so raised from the taxa
ton of the property and polls Of the
colored a be applied exclusively to
the education of colored children.
The Judiciary Committee reported
favorably a bill giving Vance county
the right to elect it's own representa-
tives, and also a, bill incorporating the
Bank of Commerce Of Raleigh.
A resolution was adopted in the
House declaring Levi D. Baucom, the
legally elected representative from
Wake county. His seat was contested
by Mr.. L. M. Green. The contested
case from BERTHE was decided in favor
of Mr.. Outlaw.
A great many bills relating to
strictly local matters are being intro
duced. The body is very attentive to
business, and is working faithfully.

WORDS OF TRUTH AND SOBER
NESS.

The railroad interests of the whole
country are on a tremendous boom.
Manufacturing enterprise, in all it's
departments and in all sections, is in a
fourishing condition; villages, towns
and cities are growing and prospecting.
Speculation, corporate and monopolis-
tic power, are strengthening and fat
tening every day. The superficial
observer accepts these evidences of
thrift as conclusive proof that the
whole country is prosperous and is
progressing. But there is not a farmr
in our Legislature or elsewhere who
does not know that while all this is
true as to our various industrial enter
prises, it is equally true that the great
agricultural interests of the country
are languishing and are in a more de-
pressed condition than for twenty-five
years past. Every farmer in the
Legislature knows that the farmers of
North Carolina are not prospecting; not
thriving; not making money; but that
their lands are depreciating in value;
that they are tied down by debt and
that it is a hard struggle to hUe. Now
we presume that the towns, railroads,
banks, merchants, manufacturers, &C.,
will be able to meet their proportion
of whatever taxes may be imposed by
our Legislature, The drummers' tax
has been declared unconstitutional by
our courts, and by this decision our
State revenue is diminished $50, 900.
This deficit must be supplied by the
Legislature. The manned soldiers are
expected to be provided for. The
necessary expenses of the State Gov
eminent must be met. An increase of
taxes is inevitable. But how much
more can our farmers bear, who are
already bowed to the earth under
their load? Are they in a condition

A bill has been introduced to abolish
Normal Schools and establish in lieu
thereof a Central Training School for
teachers, and to conduct Teachers
Institutes throughout the State. This
will be an important change in our
system, but the change does not in
crease the funi or appropriations for
schools. 1t simply transfers a certain
amount for the purpose indicated.

T

Numerous petitions are being intro
duced from various portions of the
State to repeal the merchants purchase
tax. We have heard some Of the
members who are merchants, say they
were opposed to it's repeal.
A bill was introduced relieving the
Governor from being Chairman of the
Board of Agriculture and allowing
the Board to elect it's Chairman; for
the better collection of taxes; to pay
special veniremen the same that regu-
lar jurymen are paid; allowing the
citizens of Sassafras Fork township,
Granville county, to vote on the stock
law.
The House passed an amendment
to Sec. 2,8l6 of the Code, raising fees
for impounding stock; also a bill allow
ing the elementary principles of agri-
culture and bookkeeping to be taught
IN our SCHOOLS under SUcn rules as may
be provided by the State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction.
This measure was discussed and
endorsed by the National Alliance at
Meridian, and. marks an important
step in progressive education. Why
we should adhere to a system of edu-
cation which precludes the child from
a study of the principles which apply
to the vocation he must follow in after
life, is one of the things we do not
understand, and we rejoice to see our
Legislature declaring for intellectual
freedom in our schools.

REAL ROMAN PUNCH.
How Drink Made Exclusively for the
Pope Became General.

Pope Became General.
The history of ponche a la romaine is
curious, says the American Analyst. 1t
had been the summer refreshment of
successive Popes for over eighty years,
ard their chefs were threatened with all
kinds of horrors and punishments il
they ever divulged the secret OF its
preparation. When Napoleon invaded
Italy in 1890 this terrible interdict was
broken through. The son of Plus Wis
chief confectioner, by name Molas, as
soon as he found the French were con-
querors, ran away from his father and
united his fortunes with them.
This young man became the favorite
servant Of the Empress Josephine, and
after hcr death became cook to the Rus
sian Prince Lieven, whom he accom-
panied to London when that Prince was
appointed Ambassador TO the court of
St. James. This Russian first made this
Papal beverage in London by intro6uc-
ing It It thePrince's table. The Prince
regent asked for the receipt and permit
ted copies to be given to select few Of
his friends, and by degrees it became bet
ter known, and is now we'll known all
over the world.
The original vatican recipe is: "Pre-
pare very rich pineapple or sherbet;
have it little tart with lemon juice,
taking the greatest care that mono Of
the zest or oil from the yellow rind or
tho bitterness from the white underly-
ing pith be allowed to enter into the
composition OF this sherbet. In order to
be certain of this it is better, first, TO
CRATE of the yellow rind from the
lemons, then 10 carefully remove all the
whitc pith, and, TO make assurance
doubly sure wash the skinned fruit in
clear water; after which press out the
juice free from the rind OF the fruit;
strain the Juice so as to remove all the
seeds CT pips from It; then add 10 it the
pineapple mixture. 1t must be then
very well frozen. This sherbet, being
very rich, viii not freeze hard, but will
be a sc,ni-icc. Just before the punch
IS 20 be served add and work into it for
every quart OF the ice one gill OF Ja-
maica and for every two quarts one
pint 81 the best champagne. Never use
the wine from damaged bottles or leaky
corks, as IL viii he surc 20 dcprave
and perhaps entirely spoil your punch.

liquors add cream or mcringlo mkt
