THE OBNOXIOUS QUESTIONS.

These questions are. numbered 22
and 23, in the census blanks. They
relate to disease and: mental and
physical defects. The department
has been severely criticised for put
ting these two questions in the list,
rs a penalty is provided for u refusal
to answer, and n true, answer would
in many cases be embarrassing. A
Now York lawyer has come to the res
cue, and advises those who do not
wish to ansHc to say, "I don't
know" This is certainly an easy and
sensible way out of the difficulty.
Many newspapers rashly advised a
refusal to answer, on the ground that
q quorum was not present when the
law was passed by Congress. The
question of no quorum cannot be
raised outside of Legislative body.
Quorm, or no quorum, is" strictly Il
parliamentary law, and cannot be
passed upon by 'eoti1t..' SO we trust
that no one will be fool enough to
trust to the "nO quorum defense.

THE CANDIDATES.

No doubt, brother Allianoemen, you will

10 order to nerve them for espousiDg their

and devotion TO county there is in the
brotherhood. just think Of il! All ready
and willing TO serve their State and county

Narrow Escape.

Marrow Escape.
Last Friday, as Mr.. Frank L. Townsend
was returning from York County, after a
visit TO his family, and 1herc he was taken
sick, he made narrow escape from drown
ing in crossing Pacolet River at Skull Shoals,
in buggy, under the following circumstances.
The stream was somewhat swollen, and
when he go: near the center, his horse miss
cd the ford, capsized the buggy which begin
to sink:
Mr.. Townsend and the driver, Charlie
Witherspoon, jumped into the water and cut
the horse loose. Mr.. Townsend swan around
until he struck a rock, to which he c!ung un-
til Witherspoon, who had mounted the horse,
threw line to him, and drew him up to him.
They then swan to the shore together. Mr..
Townsend lost his satchel, lot of clothes
and fine ring, which he valued very highly.
His total loss was about fifty dollars.
We congratulate Frank upon his escape,
for it was q close shave, sure, and from what
he tells us, Charlie deserves much credit for
his coolness and presence of mind.

ESSn As we have not heretofore published
any lengthy report of the speeches made at
the campaign mcetings.in the counties around
us, We this week publish as full report rs
possible of the speeches mado at the meet
ing in this town last Saturday, by the candi-
dates for Governor. Wepaid close attention
to the speeches as they were delivered, and
friend took some notes of them for us, and
after reading oil the newspaper reports, we
believe the one we publish. taken from the
Nccs and Courier, is more correct, impartial
and readable than any ofthe others.
Where the report did not corresr ond with
our rcccollection and the notes taken, we
have either left that out or given our under
standing or recollection of what was said but
we found this to occur in no point of any i'm
portance. Our aim is to give our readers
all the important points of discussion (?) but
We must confess that in oil the speeches thus
far we have neither heard nor read anything
to enlightcu us upon what reforms are con-
l((S X the past has
been, or wherein abuse of individual officials
for past Insignificant delinquencies, can ele-
vate or enlighten the people.
So far it has been a campaign of abuse
aid vituperation, educating the people in
odious caste prejudices and distrust of our
public officials that BODIES no good to the
fnture peace and harmony of the State.

hot and dry in this immediate vicinity the
past ten days, and gardens and fold crops
are suffering for want of rain. We arc
pleased TO learn, however, that good rains
have visited sections o few miles around us
in every direction. Our experience is that
partial rains in very hot weather are of
doubtful benefit unless general rain coon

CAN SOME ONE SOLVE THE PRoBLEM Z

Every farmer is aware OF the expense ond
trouble there is in feeding and caring for
surplus stock after the working season is
over. After that season every land owner
ut least has some surplus stock that for the
remaining months Of the year could DO dis
pensed with, yet, for lack of market, he is
unable to sell without considerable sacrifice.
Few have suit .ble pasturage, hence it is al-
most impracticable TO economic in that way,
..re .us-sx 'laou,GS =. ssslys,l,n-y,A.r =
to have their services the other six. is-+'A.
During this time the farmer feeds at least
thirty bushels of corn and five hundred bun
dies of fodder per head. At the lowest esti-
mate-corn a. 80 cts. and fodder @ $l.OO
per huudered-the value of feed alone is
$4,000, besides tho constant trouble of
watering and feeding. This last item is, in
time at least, worth $500 making minimum
cost per head from twenty-five to thirty dol
lars for six months idleness.
Some may think this q small cost, and be.
c'use it is customary to do so, may be dis
posed to ignore it; yet, when we con-
slider, we may readily see how this
same small cost goes far to materially lessen
the small profits derived from the farm. One
year with another the average farmer in this
section at least, is usually short Of corn and
fodder and is compelled to -huy Tho oat
crop is always IN uncertain one, hence can
not be depended upon to supply the deficien-
cy, which must be supplied with corn that
costs from 65 to rs cts :, according as the
farmer pays cash or buys on time. Tho sx-
ira cost Of corn, during the working season,
added to the cost Of feed used by surplus
stock, during months of idleness, renders
the expense Of keeping stock as much again
more than tho expense of keeping no
more stock than is actually necessary to
mako the crop. 4
Now, will some one tell US how We may
avoid this unnecessary expense? Or, if it
cannot be avoided, how we may render II as
small as psssiblo?
Could we send the stock elsewhere and
have them fed cheaper than at home, and
have them returned at the working season,
or would it be better to sell them at sssaeri-
fee?
