THE OLD NORTH STATE.
North Carolina Farmer Talks to His
Southern brethren.


Nothing strikes a foreigner so for
chilly as the ease with which the
average Intelligent American farmer
discusses scientific questions relative to
agriculture. Any one who has been &C
customed to the discussions in farmers.
clubs in this country for the past thirty
years can not but note the fact that
these discussions now take on a differ
emit character from what they did even
ten wears ago. This general ac-
abundance with scientific facts will be
found to date its origin with the spread
of the farmers Institutes These in
stitutes have been the farmers Chau-
tauqua, and no now agency has been pro-
ductive of greater results than these
meetings, when prominent and practi-
cal men give theory and experience, and
set the farmers to thinking. Hold an
institute once in locality and go back
there the next season and you will find
that a rehash of last years talk will not
answer.
The farmers have thought 1t all over
in the meantime, and will put such
questions to the lecturer, as will prove
that. he, too, must be working to keep
abreast with the tide of advanced ideas.
Never before have the farming commu-
uit1 been doing 70 much thinking 81

The tracks at this point are suppos ed to
be guarded by Pinkerton men, but some
how the Jrain wreckers passed the guard
and laid the trap behind the shelter of
the numerous freight trains stalled at
that point.
The attempt was made in most syste-
matte way. for both the switchman and a
Pinkerton guard were locked up in their
houses
At about FIVE minutes of the time the
train Is due the switchman started to
leave the shanty, but found himself a
prisoner. While trying to get out he
heard the thunder of the approaching
train.
Saspecting danger, he cried for help
and then burst the door down.
As he got out the train came down at
a terrific speed, and then for the first
time the switchman saw the pile of ties
on the track.
He had no time to get his lantern, but
with the Pinkerton men who had gather
ed got on the track and yelled.
The engineer saw them, and putting on
his air brakes reversed his lever and
brought the train to a standstill.
Very few of the passengers were made
aware of the danger.

Special to the Jersey Citu Ne,cs.
AsBURY PARK, Aug. 80, 189O.-New Jer-
sey is the first State to propose the erec-
tion OF monuments to the dead war Gov
ernors. For several years movement

means to put down the insurrection.
The memorial has received the hearty
endorsement of prominent men of this
and other states, including Ex-Governor
Andrew G. Curtin, Governor James A.
Beaver, General William J. Sewell, ex-
Governor Robert S. Green, Congressman
Phelps, Congressman Buchanan, Sena-
tors Mcpherson and Blodgett, and Cover
nor Leon Albeit.
A monument fund is now being raised
in Asbury Park. The Board of Trade
and G. K. Hall Post, Grand Army of the
Republic, have charge of the scheme,
and large amount of money has already
been subscribed.
A concert was given at the Coleman
House last evening and the proceeds will
be turned over to the treasurer of the
found. 1t Is proposed to erect the monu-
ment on the beach front, where 1t can be
seen annually by thousands of summer

early this morning, by the son of former
Senator Benjamin Buckley
Young Buckley, who lives with his
father on Clark street, reported that at
about midnight two masked men entered
his room, and when he awoke they placed
a revolver at his head and demanded his
valuables. At the same time they told
him that If he made any outcry his brains
would be blown out
Young Buckley became so frightened
that he could scarcely speak. The robbers
ransacked his room and searched his
clothing, but got bur little money and
found but few valuables.
In seaaching for Mr. Buckley's apart
ments they got into the female servants
room. When they awoke one of the
robbers flashed a dark lantern in their
faces while another covered them with q
revolver. The girls began to scream in a
hysterieal manner, which alarmed the
whole household and the robbers fed.
So far as known they did not secure any
thing of much value.
