THE YANKEE VS.. THE NEGRO.

"The Atlanta Journal remarks
that while negro immigrants
from The border States are invi-
ted to go to the Southwest, no
invitation comes to these immi-
grants from any Northern State.
1t might still further remark
that no such invitation ever
would come. They are not want
ed up there"
The Jonesboro Leader, edited
by a native "yankee," who has
cast his lot among us, and by
his New England pluck and en-
terprise has established and sus-
tanned a first-class paper says:
No! as a rule we don't believe
they are, or that it would be we'll for
them to make the North the objec-
tive point for an "exodus." They
might get work at first, going few
at a time, but it is only the very best
of them who would keep his job and
such negroes are appreciated, want.
ed and kept in the South, and know
enough to stay here. Why couldn't
they keep their job? Because toe
tmany of them won't work faithful.
Iy unless under the eye of the boss.
for one thing; because, as was shown
in hundreds Of cases in the "exodus'
last fall, they can't be depended or
as class to keep their agreements
and few Northern farmers woul(
have them on his place after ont
thorough trial. He isn't used t.
them and their ways nor are they tt
him agd his. The South has always
had them, knows them and their pc
culiarities, can and docs get alone
with them as laborers, and the Soutl
is the place for them. They are bet
ter off here every way.

he speaks and We accept him a

TIME FOR SATAN AT CAMP
MEETI NGS.

With Boss Malone preaching
the doctrine of "purity in cleo
tions" we may expect to hear a
scathing rebuke Of sin from Sa-
tan at some approaching camp
meeting. 1t was Malone VIII 0
introduced bulldozing, vote-buy-
ing, return-forging and all the
iniquities in elections which he
now has the monumental impu-
dence to stand up and condemn.

The Winston Sentinel says

The Winston Sentinel says
The Georgia Farmers Alliance
has resolved not to sell a pound
of cotton for less than l2I cents.
If they can just get the whole
South TO join hands there'll be
money in farming.
Even at this price farmers
could not raise cotton with
which to buy home supplies.
Let the price of cotton be what it
may, the good farmer is the one
who first raises a suficiency of
home supplies, viz: corn, meat,
molasses, hay, fodder, peas, etc,
and some to supply hts neigh
hors, before planting the social
ed money crop, for cotton is
anything but a money crop. The
application Of this logic is, we
think, the only salvation for the
farmers of this State.

OWE MUST BROADEN OUT

A recent editorial in the Dur
ham Globe shows that the alert |
editor OF that paper is on the
right track and is trying to pull
his town into line. He recOg-
nizes the fact that the town or
community that prospers and
keeps abreast with the busy,
bustling aud enterprising age
that is now upon US, must look
to developing its interests, start
ing small manufacturing es;ab-
lishments and making every
point in our domestic & political
economy tell. The Globe says ::
at does not require the wisdom
of Solomon to realize the fact that
if Durham is to move forward to
that grand destiny which the most
hopeful of her citizens believe to be
awaiting her, she has got to get out
of the groove and diversity her in
terests.
cit is the wish of The Globe to
speak frankly, believing that all rea'
sOnable people will appreciate the
truth of the remark that she is a
friend, indeed, who tells thee of thy
tuults.n
"Thc visitor or new conner who
walks down Main street or any other
business thoroughfare Of this city
on any of these bright mornings is
impressed with the number of ,.,er-
chants, who, for lack of sufficiency
of patronage sit at their doors whit
Ting stick, reading paper or talk,

Make COmpOst of Them.


A CAUCASIAN reporter who at
tended the sale in Turkey town
ship last week says that Mr.
VIM. A. Faison has several large
compost heaps, which consists
CT nothing less than the body
of a COW or horse which has died.
This is a good idea, for such a
compost heap Is worth $2O to
any farm if properly managed.
Such heaps should not be near
the dwelling and be enclosed by
a fence to prevent dogs from
scratching into it. When this
compost is used the bones of
the animal should be carefully
saved, placed in a trench and
treated with acids to decompOse
them to be used in another com
post heap.

and sailed over the sea In the
direction where he thought
America ought to be found. The
sailors quarreled, and said they
believed there was no such place
But after many days the pilot
came to him and said Columbus;

ship got near, the land was full
of black men. Columbus said,

Save the Hay.


Capt. C. Patrick tells us that
he has saved $4,000 pounds of
hay this summer. He soWed no
grass but simply cut the crab
grass that grew up where be had
wheat and rice. He would have
saved even more if the ground
had been properly prepared. He
says that it has paid him as we'll
as any crop he has planted. He
will break up his land Gn low
wet places next spring, manure,
harrow and roll it, and make a
fine crop. He has spent $500,
for Northern hay to feed his
stock this year and says that he
will never do so again. The
hay he has saved this summer
has cost him almost nothing,
yet he says he would not take
81 90 per hundred for it.
There is enough hay now in
the fields Of this county to feed
all the stock in it next year il
we were not TO save a blade OF
fodder. Let us save it, not fol-
market, but for our stock. Lei
US keep more stock and raise
more manure. This is the only
way to permanently improve
our farms.

HOG Fever.

A great many OF the hogs of
this county are suffering and dy-
ing with a kind of fever. Bumps
come over the skin of the hog
aud it has a high fever. The
regular hog cholera treatment
does them no good. Mr.. ]. r.
Bradshaw, of Giddensyille, says
that when they have this fever,
they should have but little to
eat, and no corn. Give them a
few potatoes and cooked food
He says that he has found qui-
nine as affectual with them as
with a person when suffering
with malarial fever. Mr.. Brad
shaw is all old man siXty-siA
years old, has raised q large fam
lily of eight children, IS a good
farmer and has never bought
pound of meat for his use, ha:
several years sold as much a:
fifty barrels of corn.
The farmer who uses hi'
brains as we'll as his muscle in
his daily work will succeed, i
such thing is possible in thes'
days of low prices and limited
market. He should understand
how to do everything on tn
farm, and if he entrusts hi
work to help, this knowledge j
especially needful.

sometimes it is unavoidable.
When this is the case it is neces-

they can be had without too
much expense,ground oats is one
of the very best feeds for young
