FARMERS DEyi AND TEN
CENTS FOR COTTON.

A special telegram to the Ricb>
mond Dispatch, dated Charlotte,
Oct. 10, says:
cit develops here to day that the
farmers and particularly the MEM
berS of the Farmers Alliance.
throughout this entire cotton region
are holding back all the cotton pos
sible from Re market to Try to com
pei raise to at least ten cents IN
price. Advices from markets across
The South Carolina line show that
the situation there Is even more
critical than III this section.
At q eerS vest, rdaY the farmers
created considerable confusion by
hauling back home $50 bales b cause
they could not get ten cents for it,.
One hundred and thirty-flve bales
were carried into Easley Yesterday
and nlnety-fve hauled back home.
The Farmers Alliance in Spartan
burg county have passed resolutions
boycOtting the market in Spartan
burg alleging that the BUYERS were
organize | for the purpose Of inju7inq
their order. While the farmers in
this immediate section are making
no noise about the matter, a great
falling CIT OF receipts as compared
with last year is plainly evident.
There is al organized plan among
them to hold their cotton for higher
prices. Receipts 10 to to day com
pared with those of the correspond
ing period Of the past year show a
shortage of 2.910 bales. This short
age can be partly attributed to the
fact that the crop is somewhat Lite.
but the farmers admit that they ex-
pee! a big her price than IS now be
lng paid"

A HUMANE JUDGE.

The Tar5oro So,ahe1wer Of last
week says:
Judge Boykiu called especial at
tentIon Of the grand jury to the stat
ute Against cruelty to animals, based
on what he saw on the road from
Rocky Mount,
He said if a man came to town,
got drunk and neglected to feed and
water his beast, he was guilty. His
remarks were humane and we'll point
ed The jury were urged to present
all cases within their knowledge.
TIE DEMOCRAT has more than
once called attention to this law,
and one time within the past year.
the section Of the Code against cruel
ty to amin Is was published in these
columns and commented upon.
We are glad that Judge BoYkin
has opened upon this thing and We
hope when he comes to Halifax he
will do the same for this county. 1t
is cry ing shame upon civilization
that such humane law should exist
AM then be 80 grossly neglected as
1t sometimes is. The welfare OF the
horses and other animals largely in
terests the people IF the land. Many
a man loses his horse from inatten>
ton to his comforts ami his wants.
\ horse stardS all day in the
0histiing wind and driving Rim ,
without food or drink at night is
driven from ten to twenty miles at q
more than ordinary pace and then is
left in an open stable unblarketed
to contract cold enough to kill him
or disable him for life. There is law
against this. There is a law against
perishing horses and mlsusing them
Let it be enforced.

NEW YORK LETTER,
Regular Correspondence
W. G. ALLEN

New YORK, October 81, 1889,
The question of what shall be
done with the electric light and teIe-
graph wires hes again been forced
uppermOst by the horrible death of
lineman Feeks, who was slowly
roasted for nearly an hour by the
electric current on top of telegraph
pole, in sight of ten Thousand peO-
pie. This is the eighth victim of the
deadly current inside of eighteen
months, and public feeling has been
aroused TO such pitch that some
thing must he done without delay to
prevent further sacrifice. It looked
at one time as if the city would or
der every pole chopped down IN
mciiately, and 10 fact, something
Of the s~rt was done by the Mayor,
but the companies sued out an in
junction, the result being the shutting
Off Of nearly every electric light in the
city. darkness has therefore been
our lot during the past week, except
in pisces where gas or oil was still
available. The Board of Health has
taken band in the fight and de-
mands that the amount Of electricity
in the wires be reduced to point of
safety, or, to use an expression now
on cveryOne'S lips, 250 "volts " BY
the way, one of the most interesting
developments about this whole cleo,
trlc excitement IS the gljbness with
which everyone speaks Of the sub
jet. Volts, ampe-es, dynamos. alter
mating currents, incandescent sys-
tens, etc. are few Of the terms
which are flung st US in a very in
discriminate manner f on every
side. Truly, we are only beginning
to realize the power Of this wondrous
force, we are only Sanding on the
threshold Of an age in which cleo
triCity will be king.

EDUCATE YOUR BOYS.
Communicated.

/ is characteristic Of every man
to extol his own business; and if it
is a business that is honest AMI
legitimate, he does nothing imprOp-
or in 50 doing. Every man can
point with pride to some important
thing that has been done in his
line Of work or to some important
parsonage who has in it won celeb
rity.
Farming has had its Cincinnatus.
merchandising its Stewart, law its
Blackstone, journalism its Greely,
and teaching it Socrates. SO with
all, and with these remarks, | now
begin to speak about what intend
ed from the start.
Our people are interested in edu-
cation, perhaps. about as much as
their pocket books VIII allow. That
is about the sum of it 10 a general
way. OF course there are some
people who care nothing for learn
ing, and no process of reasoning
could make them fall in love with
it. These are lot included in what
has Just been said in regard to the
interest manifested in education at
this place and at this time.
We all know that the bank stock
of our people is not much above par.
and also that there IS not much
chance of its being increased any
within the next year; but in spite of
all that, the times demand that the
boys must not be neglected. The
boys of the present must fill the
places of honor in the future.
Therefore, prepare them for it.
1t is true that the hard times
have brought some of us down in
the dumps that the calf has eaten
the grind stone for many, and that
the wolf may be proving around
the door of others; but IN spite of
all that, our duty to tie coming
generation demands that we edu~
cate the boys. These boys will
have to stand in the shoes of the
present generation some day, and
! the shoes are gong to be harder to
wear, too; for competition is going
to be sharper. Therefore, educate
your sons.
All are aware that business is
dull, that the dollars don't Jingle as
loud as they used to, AMI men are
talking hard times and the like, but
our duty to our country demands
that we give the boys fair chance
for upon them hangs The hope OF
our free government. Some boys
who are now between the ages OF
six and twenty will be the future
/ presidents, governors. senators. and
the like. No one knows which
ones. All have the chance Of it.
Therefore all should be prepared
for it, In the name, then, Of TIE
future millions of the United States
and the thousands of our own State,
our boys should be prepared for the
great duties that lie before them
Therefore, educate the boys.
