What Are we Comming to?

A night or two ago gang of fifteen
masked men vent to The house of VIM.
Holland, at Latham's Cross Roads, in
Beaufort county, and took him from
his house to a tree about one hundred
and fifty yards distant. They put
rope around his neck, intending to
lynch him. His mother and sister
came upon the scene and interfered in
his behalf, and were both badly hurt by
ruffians. Holland saw a man up the
tree. and recognized him. Before the
lynchers succeeded in accomplishing
their purpose some one in the house
fred a pistol, which frightened them

By Nature a Bully.

cit is thought possible in Wash
ington that Speaker Reed may resign
and once more take the leadership of
the Republicans on the floor Of the
House. He is failure as speaker,
whereas he was marked success as
leader" All this from the Mem
phis Commercial. But Reed will do
nothing of the kind. He is by nature
a bully, and nothing delights him
more than using the Republican maj
ority to run rough-shod over the
minority in the House. He considers
this craftsmanship. Reed's hig- han
ded performances are furnishing
excellent material for Democratic
use.

Distressing.

A white man and his wife have
just appeared at Lenoir. They walk
ed from Hyde county and tell hor-
rible story about the dest!tution of
the farmers there. They say that
they left HYDE county to escape star
vation. Their tale is most pitiful.
There they were farming, but as their
crop was failure, sold out everything
and set out to find employment
They have walked most of the time

Like Going to the Cannibal Island.

A young man of our town told me
the other day that when he made up
his mind to come South his perilous
venture was made the subject of
earnest prayer in the family, for they
believed he was risking his life, and
they felt as much concerned as if he
was going to the Cannibal Island as
Missionary We are glad he came.
for he is gentleman, too, and l
wish some more of the same sort
would come.-Bill Arp.

Why They Leave.
use.

This is a question that one would
naturally ask when they learn that so
many of our young men are leaving the
'sOld North State It is this, the
truth should be told. they are not ap-
preciated by their home people, hence
their departure. No one can blame a
young man for leaving his native
State to better his condition, when
she does not furnish employment by
which he can make a good, comic rtable
living.
Young men reluctantly leave their
homes, but when home is not inviting
and there is no chance for them to adj
vance to noble and lofty stations in life,
we do not blame them for leaving.
1t is fact that many of our best
young men leave the State because
they do not receive sufficient remuner-
alton for their labors. In many posi-
tions that our young men occupy, their
pay is so small that they can barely
make a living. North Carolina can
not spare Sc many of her young men.
She needs them to take place of the
older generation that will soon pass
away. It is sad reflection that our
young men are constrained TO GO else
where to seek their fortune They
should be employed at home. Seldom
are the efforts of many of our young
men Justly rewarded.

Rules for Old Age.

In reply To a correspondents request
for DR. Richardson's Rules for Old
Age" we replblish them as follows,
although we don'tindorse all OF them.
When old age has really commenced,
its march toward final decay is best
delayed by attention to those rules of
conservation by which life is sustained
with the least friction and the least
waste. The prime rules for this pur.
pose are: To subsist on light but nu-
tritious diet. with milk as the standard
food, but varied according TO season.
To take food, in moderate quantity,
four times in the day, including a
light meal before going TO bed. To
clothe warmly but lightly, so that the
body may. in all seasons, maintain its
equal temperature. To keep the body
in fair exercise, and the mind active
and cheerful. To maintain an inter.
est in what is going ON in the world,
and 10 take part in reasonable labors
and pleasures, as though old age was
not present. To take plenty Of sleep
during sleeping hours. To spend nine
hours in bed at least, and 10 take care
during cold weather that the tcmpera-
ture OF the bedroom is maintained at
90 degs Fab. Toavoid passion, excite
ment and luxury. Herald Of Health.

TOMATOES TO COWS.
They Learn to Like Them and
He!p Ou the Milk Product.

Speaking before Canadian farmers
convention recently, a member said:
1--WE had over thousand bushels of to-
matoes this season. The Ottawa mar
ket was so glutted that we could not
sell one-third of them. We commenced
feeding them to the COWS and found
that they ate them greedily, and
improved in milking. | sliced sew
eral bushels with the corn, but
have not reached them yet, and cannot
say how they have turned out. After
my experience this season, shall hence
forth plant my tomatoes in field into
which | can turn the cows in the fall,
and Will have the satisfaction of know
ing that no tomatoes, green or ripe, will
be lost. After the first frost this fall
we pulled our tomato vines and col
lected with them the green to-
matoes that adhered to them into piles,
where they remained for couple
of weeks before we could let the cows
into the field. By that time we found
that a large percentage of the green to-
matoes had ripened and the tomato
leaves had cured. The cows could not
be kept away from the tomato piles.
They rooted them over with their noses
and horns and cleaned up every
thing but the bare vines. and at
nights, as long as the tomatoes
lasted, they would come into the barn
painfully full and their udders distend-
ed with milk. leave it to the scientists
to say whether the milk-producing ele-
ment was in the tomato Itself or whether
it supplemented some other feed to
make well-balanced milk ration. OF
course it would not pay to raise tOma-
toes as feed for cows; but market gar
deners need not allow their surplus to-
matoeS to go to waste while they have
COWS to feed them to-"

BEEF ANIMALS.
Their Ages and the Gains in
Weight by the Philadelphia Rec
ord

Their Ages and the Gains in
Weight by the Philadelphia Rec
ord.
The daily gain in weight of animals
intended for beef varies according to
breed, the vigor and the manner of
feeding; but there is a period arrived
at when the gain is very little. The
nearer the animal approaches maturity
the more it consumes proportlonately
and the less weight gained, due to the
demands of the animal for bod
lily support; the smaller the
body the less loss of food in
that direction. The testing of the live
and slaughtered animals at the stock
shows that have been held for several
years past explains that, while certain
breeds of cattle are better adapted for
producing the greatest weight of beef to
maturity, no particular breed enjoys
monopoly in that respect, even the
grades and crosses of the several breeds
competing with advantage.
GAIN CT YOUNG STOCK.
In comparison of breeds at the recent
fat stock show the calves under one year
old made remarkable daily gains. The
daily gain of the grades and crosses was
2.7S pounds, the ShorthornS 2.64 pounds
and the HerefOrdS 2.4S pounds, or an av
trage of 2.62 pounds. As the calf weighs
something at birth, this, added to its
daily gain for 365 days, brings the young
animal to weight quite respectable be-
fore it becomes even yearling. The
average gain of the yearlings was 2.07
pOun DIS; of tie tNO-ItGrClOS. In
pound S, and of the three-year-Old1.5 2G
pounds. There is, therefore. grea-
difference in the gain of an animal dur
ing its first year compared with its gain
the two years following. As this show
ing is the result of a comparison of more
than 100 animals it becomes plain fact
that farmers should consider. Is they
can, by the use of pure breeds and
grades, combined with liberal feeding,
secure gains approaching those of the
young steers experimental with, the
breeding of cattle can be made profit
able.
GOOD BREEDING ESSENTIAL.
While the grades and crosses made
the greater gain the first year the pure
breeds gradually asserted their superb
GRITTY, and after the second year made
larger daily gains than the grades.
This is a very creditable showing
in favor of the pure breeds,
and destroys the claim that grades
and crosses are superior to the
pure-bred animals; but it shows that
the grade is nearly equal to the pure
bred until the marketable age is
reached, and encourages the claim that
farmers may improve their stock at a
small cost with advantage. The scrub
could not compare with the grades in
any respect favorably.
