CONCERNING FRAUDS,

NOTHING will go farther to show
~ that liberal advertising than
the FACT that some OF the greatest
frauds of t4e day prosper by news
paper advertising or by sending out
flaming circulars. A concern styling
itself Ed. w. Huntley & Co, at
Chica 20, has been sending circulars
ou5 tor some time claiming "enOr-
nous business facilities in the cloth
iug line" and claiming q capital CT
several millions of dollars. They re-
fer to banks and prominent people.
The GOldsboro Head ,ght has written
to several prominent Chicago firms
and the president of a national bank
there to whom Huntley & Co. refer,
and they write that they know of no
firm in that city of that style whom
they would allow the use OF their
names as reference. The long and
short of it is the firm is mythical so
far as the immense " bushes" is con
cerned, and beyond a doubt all who
send money to them are duped. They
are forgers in the first place, and be,
sides, if such a great coucern existed
it would be known to somebody in
Chicago.
The only safe way is to deal with
home people as far as possible, and if
you are compelled 10 deal with
strangers. first use proper measures to
find whether or not they are reliable.
The whole country is teeming with
disEeputable concerns who make a
living by swindltng people by offering
to sell cheap. Have nothing 10 do
with them.

sum named in order that they may
indicate the price of grain, 1t IS not
proposed to speculate with the money;

incorporators, are clerks IN his office
and hence don't count. When saw
Mr.. Williams be was not disposed to

DoINGs IN

MR. HENDERSON, of North
WI Carolina. offered an amendment
to the tariff bill last Tuesday to abolish
the minimum prescribed for violation
of the internal revenue law. 1t was
rejected.
Mr.. Cowles, of North C4rolina,
offered an amendment repeating the
tobacco tax, which was also rejected.
Various other amendments were
offered by different repr %sentatives.
all of which we're rejected.
On Wednesday, Mr.. Wheeler, of
Alabama, appealed to the House to
adopt an amendment proposed by
him to gradually reduce duties which
are in excess of forty per cent. He
said an increase of 100 per cent. in
tax on hops would be a serious injury
to a large class of our industries and
intelligent German people. The evi
dence before the committe showed
that this change would invite the i'm
portation of foreign beer, DIP i've
American labor of occupation, and in
crease the cost Of American beer
This unjust Legislation w6dld be r.,
buked by the people. (Applause.)
During this brief discussion the
House was in a turmoil. The demands
of the chair for order were UNDECIDED,
the rules of the committee we're dis
regarded, and each speaker as he rose
was greeted with calls of louder .
and with laughter.
The chairman used his best en-
deavor to secure quiet but he was ab
solutely unable to quell the uproar.
In the midst of the confusion the hour
of noon arrived and in accordance
with the special rule adopted and
without a vo.e being reached Ga Mr..
Bakers amendment, the committee
rose and reported the bill to the House.
We are no. sure about it, but )me
how it seems like this everlasting pic
mic business is going on too long. For
twenty years it has continued without
interruption except when the legisla
tive bodies take a vacation. Tue PEG
pie should put a stop TO it.

THE MCKINLEY BILL.

THE Mckinley tariff bill passed
l. the House las, week. 1t is said
that it will never pass the Senate. 1t
would no doubt make the already
odiOus tariff worse and worse. In it's
present shape it Won d vir ually ruin
the Southern sugar industry and bear
heavily on our farmers generally. 1t
would cause another great of
mortgages in the North and West.
1t would cause millions to flow into
the pockets of the millionaire manu-
iacturers, but for farmers and Dusi-
less men /. will only hasten the fear
ful disaster which is inevitable unless
relief is given speedily. Notwith
standing the fearful result it may be
that it is best that it should pass the
Senate in all its h~ideousness. We
must have a change. The passage of
this bill would give us a chance. The
people would be compelled to rise in
their might and overthrow the uu.
feeling plutocrats who will be respon.
slble for the creation and support OF
this infamous, deplora lie, d spicable
outrage upon the working people OF
our country. The Mckinley dill pos
sibly may breed more trusts, com
Dimes, corporations in two years than
has been in existence since the DAYS
OF Washington. If SO, all the better
for US; anything to hasten our deliv.
erance out of the hands of the high
tariff bosses in both parties. The
farmers are fast learning that the
tariff IN the pre- sent shape is baC
enough. Make it just as Oppressive
as possible and we will be all tee
| more thankful.

LOOKING AFTER THE PoLITI-
" CLANS. f.

TINE Wilmington Star has5always
hal a level head. Commenting
O the present situation and the fact
that the farmers are fully determined
to do all in their power to put men in
off 9 who will not fail to properly
represent the agricultural interests, 1t
says:
Had the farmers of the country
twenty, i We years ago given more at
tebtion to politics Ohan they did this
country would not have been sub
iected to the domino ion Of the set Of
political tricksters and mountebanks
who for all that time and a little
longer have been "theor zing" and,
while doing so, driving the farmer to
ruin and heaping burdens upon the
people such as were never heaped
upon any people on the face of the
earth"
"Theorizing is pretty good, Bro.
Sta5. 1t does look like "theorizing y
| has been the first, last and all of it so
far as the farmers are concerned. If
those m~ountebanks saw a chance to
make votes by pensioning somebody
they went ahead with it, or if some
body offered to pay for legislation,
then they got q move on them. But
otherwise it has been speeches and
theories and rumors of speeches and
rumors of theories. Those who were
not gifted with "gab" have read long
f~uneral-likA compositions which have
been printed in the congregational y
| Record, as Dr.. York, of Wilkes county,

crowd of fools that ever put foot on a

THE CORNERSTONE LAID.

A BOUT five o'clock Friday even
N ing, quite a company gatherc!
at the Agricultural and Mechanical
College to witness the ceremonies at.
tendant upon laying the first brick of
the new mechanical build .ng.
Pre- i1ent Holiday stated the pur-
poses of the gathering and Rev. DIR.
NJ. NJ. Marshall offered prayer.
Mr. E. c Beddngfeld, Secretary
OF the State Alliano4, was introduced
and made an in eresting speech.
After his address, Mss Maggie
Merrimon, with trowel in hand, grace
fully laid down the first brick of the
new building, and in a few well chosen
words expressed wishes for the per-
nance and prosperity of the i"stitu
ton. The assemblsge cheered heartily.
Mr.. A. D. Jones then made an clio
qUent speech S lirable for the occasion.
The new building will contain on
the first floor the machine shops 4Ox3O

be sufficiently advanced to handle anL

JOURNALISTIC.
What the Knights of the Quill are
Doing.


The Imdcr is a new paper at Fay
etteville, Mr.. f l.. Hedrick editor
and proprietor.
Mr.. R. W. Knight has retired as
editor of the Rockingham Booklet and
Mr.. II. G.. Wall and Mr.. T. W.
Guthrie have succeeded him. Mr..
Wall is well known in State journal
ism and NJ. Guthrie is a 20 ing lawyer
of ability.
The first number of the Enterprise,
published at Chester, S. c., has been
received. The publishers name does
not appear in the paper, but it is a
large sheet and we'll filed with inter
es'ing matter. We wish it a pros.
porous journey.
The Hymen is a new paper to be
8 started at Tarbo-o. 1t will be devoted
entirely to marrying of the many old
maids and bachelors and widows of
our State and country. We hope
vt will help the cause instead of max
ing matters worse.
A suspicious subscriber who found
a spider in his paper wants to know
if it is considered as a bad omen.
Nothing Of the kind. The spider
was merely looking over the columns
of the PAPER to see what merchant
was not advertising so that it could
spin it's web across his store door and
be free from distul bance.
The Lumberton RobeSonian, one Of
the best Of our State exchanges, GER
tainly must be prospecting. 1t has
moved into a building Of its own and
is going to get up a memorial issue.
Once more we r SO to remark that
whenever our people get to reading
more there will be a change in all
things. Boom your county paper and
then subscribe for THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER and you will feel better.
The special trade and industrial
edition of the Ststesville Landmark
is at hand. 1t is handsomely gotten
up and 1000 copies were printed.
1t is a pen picture of Statesville and
Iredell county, and as such it ought
to pay the publisher and be worth
thousands of dollars to the town and
county. Bro. Caldwell can issue a
trade edition with illustrations or he
might enlarge his paper, but if any
body thinks he or anybody else can
improve his regular weekly issue they
are l kely'to be disappointed. That's
| all.

GOOD FARM NC.

THE PRoGREssIyE FARMER is al
l. ways ready to do anything to
elevate the agricultural interests.
With this object in view, a represen-
sative will visit a few good farms in
Wake county. There are improved
farms in different sections of the
STATE, but it will be impossi de to visit
those situated any great distance from
Raleigh.
We will undertake to give a full
but brief history Of a few successful
farmers and their plans. Also two
or three of he excellent vineyards in
this vicinity. We know that every
farmer cannot be a Furman or Rich
ardson; that every manufacturer
c4nno5 be a Carnegie or Howe, nor
can every merchant be an A. T.
Stewart or John Wanamaker, but
their success ought to be a lesson to
inspire and elevate their respective
classes. 1t IS to be hoped that some
unsystematic farmer may read these
accounts of improved farming and be
benefited, imperfect though they be.
The first visit was made to the stock
farm of Capt. B. F. Williamson last
Monday and that first lesson will go
to prove, beyond a doubt, that clover
and good horses can be p~roftably
raised in North Carolina. Read and
study it.

A BIG SCHEME ON FOOT.

THE following is clipped from one
L of u exchanges. 1t may be
true, it may o If true, it is a big
thing. GA farmers trust has an adj
vantage owe any other kind in that
they only propose to break other
combinations which are against them
and their interests in controlling the
price of products by capital instead
of its being controlled by the law of
supply and demand. Any such com,
bination by the farmers for that pur.
pose alone is laudable:
-"Wh4t is conceded to be n Of the
mos, unique and original schemes of
the decade has been Matched here in
Chicago, and incorporation papers
having been taken out at the State
capitol, II can be said the project has
been fairly launched. Whether it
will amount to anything remains to be
seen, but the probabilities appear to
be that it is a little too gigantic even
for this age of big things.
This scheme is the organization of
