We are all busily engaged through
the week pulling fodder, debating the
political issues OF the day, and attend
ing the protracted meetings. and on
Sunday we have singing and preaching
1t had been appointed by some of
the boys to discuss the Sub-Treasurg
scheme at Bay Springs Saturday last.
Not expecting to take any part in the
debate. but wish to encourage all such
movements. and thinking our presence
might lend dignity to the occasion. we
soon made up our mind to go. On our
arrival there, we found quite num-
Der assembled. There was preaching
eleven o'clock, and, owing to the alb
sence of some Of the speakers, the de-
bate was postponed until 2: so in the
afternoon at the hour set the people
reassembeled at the church, to find tho
speakers on the negative or those OPP
posing the scheme there in full force,
bat none OF the other side on hand.
We could not help feeling sad. We
can hardly tell why, but it seemed so
much like a funeral. This set us to
thinking, and as we pondered the
words dead and gone dead and gone
flashed through our minds as it were
a far of echo as it died away in tAs
distance, out just az this moment,

2zn9E = shh6 Candidates present, OF whom
Mere wore several, were give an OPP
portunity to announce themselves, after
which, Mr.. J. T. Butler, having agreed
to take the Affirmative side, the subject
was taken up and discussed.
We are glad to see 60 much interest
taken in the issues before the people.
This Is right. Lot us not depend on
politicians and Office seekers to explain
them, but study them ourselves and
discuss them among ourselves.
We were on hand at Bay Springs
again Sunday to attend singing and
preaching. Several classes were repre-
sented. One of the leaders OF music
was kind enough to bring his organ,
there was plenty Of dinner on the
ground. and on the whole we felt that
it was good for us to be there.

The Boston Globe sings this song of
triumph:
What do our Republican friends (the es-
teemea journal includedl really think Of the
prospect OF an accession Of at least 2OOOC
voters 10 the Democratic ranks? The abolition
OF that poll tax qualification means the coup dc
grace to the great organization tnat but q few
years ago boasted OF majorities of $4,000, co..
600 and $4,000 In this Commonwealth.
The poll tax In Massachusetts is So; but
man who pays one dollar may vote.
Heretofore any man In Massachusetts, who
has had the industry and gumption to pay
tax of a dollar year for the support of
schools and governmental has been allowed to
vote. Those who have not had the in
dustry and gumption to do this, have been
debarred from voting In the past but will
not be debarred in the future. The Globe
estimates that the number of these men is
10000. and does not doubt that they are all
Democrats. These are the men who are to
give the coup de grace to the great organ
ization" that has guided Massachusetts to
her high position in honor and prosperity,
and that has added more famous men to
her roll Of honor In thirty years than
Democracy has done in hundred. We are
not In favor of making the franchise oner.
GUS; and 1t may be best that there should
be no poll tax prerequisite. But 1t would
be on account of the poor but patriotic citi-
zen who bears the burden in order to vote
that we would have it taken off II it is to
be taken off at all. That 10000 of riff-ratf,
who in a state Of good wages and plenty Of
work, have not thought 1t worth dollar to
vote, do not merit much consideration.

The time has long gone by when Eng
lish literature was the literature of Amer
lea also. No American now would claim
for his country literature at all compara-
BILE with those literary erections OF centu-
ries which together form English literature.
But Americans have broken the bonds
which bound them to foreign convention
alities. and our literature today. if neither
old nor extensive, yet has about 1t an in
dividuality of own. This is true especially
of our popular literature. such for instance
as that contained In our monthly maya
zines. We not only supply our own de-
mand for this class Of literature; we have
also invaded the English market. and the
demand for our monthly magazines is so
great as to interfere seriously with the
patronage Of some of the Briton's oldest
home publications. The correspondent of
one the New York papers writes from
London: "Ihe death of Murray's Magazine
next month will be another indication of
the supremacy which the great American
monthlies have secured in England among
persons who really want good reading" ]"
Undoubtedly this new American literature
may have great effect upon the literary
taste as well as the general character of
the English. 1t even may be that several
years of good magazine reading will SO
brighten up the Briton's perceptions that
he can understand an American joke with
out having 1t explained to him.

MANNING, n. G..
Mr.. EDITOR:-After having the pleas
ure of reading your valuable paper for
sometime, [ beg q little space from you
again. Isee so many good pieces from
different persons and counties, and old
Uncle Zekeo is still at work trying
to get information. He has tried the
LONG, lank DOCTOR and Captain Ashe,
but is not satisfied, and now comes to
Bro. Ramsey for information. There
are some that wish Uncle Zeke"
would die; they are getting tired of
his Fslack Jaw" We wish him much
success, and hope he will get all the in
formation he desires. We r sorry
to learn that the NeW8 and Observer
has the running fever. We hope it can
be cured before it dies and goes to
New York.
The Salem Alliance is on a boom.
This Alliance met on Saturday, the
18th, at one o'clock and transacted
some very important business. They
will use the Alliance fertilizer for wheat
again this fall. 1t is the best we ever
used. All the fault we can find is that
it made cotton grow too high this year.
There was a very interesting letter
in The PROGRESSIVE FARMER Septem-
Der 1st, by Miss Annie E. Johnson in
writing of her sister, Miss EvangeIine,
being afflicted with IAN affair of the
heart" l will say that there are sew
eral cases in Rowan, but they are not
d~annerOuS.
Farmers are now r~e-breaking their
land for wheat. Corn is very good;
cotton is better than was expected. 1t
is beginning to open, but the continued
rain that we are now having has some
what stopped it from opening 50 fast.
Fall oats are about all sowed and are
coming up nicely. No more at pres
ent. Yours respectfully,

[ have trenched already beyond my
expectation on your valuable space
and will not drive deeper into the silver
question. A legitimate desire for the
reputation of commencing only what
is safe and the strictest Of sound finance
may be assumed. Painstaking research
has satisfied me, however, that with
the absorption of silver by India and
and the East, which is certainly us
sured, together with Europe's art con
sumption and her subsidiary coinage,
all the worlds spare silver left us an
increase the volume of our money,
under sr'7t equally free coinage for our
standard gold and silver, and leave us
the abundant ability to maintain our
gold and silver money in friendly cir
