A DARLING BURGLARY.

A colored Men Enters the Houses OF
John Carter and John Il. Grub and Is
Arrested.
The families OF John T. Grub and
John Carter, who occupy the house No
627 East Seventh street, were aroused
early this morning by the discovery Of a
burglar In Grubbs room. Carter lives In
the front portion Of the dwelling, while
Grub occupies the rear
Mrs. Carter had been i'll for some time
and her husband remained up all night
to minister to her wants Shortly after
- o'clock he went to ,sleep on the lounge.
A few minutes after 4 o'clock he was
aroused by the upsetting of a quantity Of
ware in one of the rooms occupied by the
family of Mr. Grubb. Several persons In
the Grubb household heard the noise, but
thought it might have been made by
some member Of the family. When Mr.
Carter swoke he found that the lamp,
which heE had left lighted when he
went to sleep, had been taken away. He
crept cautiously TO the door leading from
his room to that occupied by the Grub
family He found 1t had been opened.
He looked through a slight opening and
saw colored man riaing Mr. 9rubb's
NCob RNIAtint
Picking up large bottle he dashed
suddenly into the room, and confronting
the burglar called on him to surrender
The man suddenly dropped the vest and
looked around for some mode OF escape,
but Carter blocked his way, and before
the burglar could discover another mode
Of exit, Grub and another man appeared
on the scene. Officers Exams and Heal
were soon summoned and the man sub
mitted quietly to arrest. On his person
were found silver watch and gold chain
belonging to Mr. Grubb The burglar
had evidently been in the house for hours
rs nearly every article OF furniture in
two rooms had been overturned He
appears not to have been professional,
for he upset a quantity OF china-ware
and made sundry other noises which each
member Of the house thought had been
made by some other member of the
house. He entered the house by break
ing small window in Mr.. CaIter's
kitchen, apparently not large enough to
admit dog
He gave the name Of James Wiley.
He was arraigned before Judge Ball at
the Municipal Court this morning and
held in 81. 900 bail to await his trial at
the upper court.

HOW TO FARM"

AUBURN ALLIANCE, No. IL.
Mr.. ED1ToR:-The old year is past
and January, 1890, has found the ma
jority of North Carolina farmers in a
sad condition. Th~ree-fourths of our
farmers are in a worse condition than
they were a year ago. [ hear the cry
of hard times on every hand and it
gradually gets worse from year to
year. People generally complain of
bad crop years, which no doubt has a
tendency to help to pinch us. But l
have been forcibly struck with the
idea that at least half or t~hree-fourths
of the farmers of North Carolina have
no more business trying to farm than
l have trying to run a locomotive.
The ruth is, we r not able to
farm. No man who is not able to
buy for cash should ever try to farm.
Better work for So per month and
board for somebody who is able to
hire you and pay you.
Many will say they object to work
ing for wages al they are bound so
closely and have no privileges. Let
me say to all such that I have thor
oughly tried both working for wages
and trying to farm and buy on time,
and if there is any truth in me, the
man who gives a mortgage and buys
On time from year to year and tries to
make a living by raising cotton and
paying from twenty-five to n hun
dred per cent. on all his purchases is
without doubt the hardest pressed
people that has breathed Gods free
air since Moses led the children of
Israel out of Egyptian bondage. The
negro of 1850 Jared fifty per cent.
better than we poor farmers do today,
and whose fault is it? Say it is ours.
Talk about privileges. Tell me, if
you please, what privilege does a
mortgaged farmer enjoy? And again,
some say they can't make enough
money working for S. or $40 per
month. Tell me how much upon an
average do bond fellows make per
month. If it is a favorable year you
may be able to make your board, such
as it is, but I'll bet my old hat you
don't clothe your family decently.
Suppose somebody comes along and
