NUMBER ONE,

In CONVERSATION with & farmer from
another community a few days ago,
be said to US that be was greatly
DISAPPOINTED In the meeting recently
held here by many farmers and oth>
ers, because they did not fol ma-
late some plan By which the country
would be relieved Of its oppression,
He seemed to think that the meet
ing was failure, because no resolu.
tons were formally passed. We
luterrogated him and found that
great deal OF the trouble with him
was about the Western farmer. We
learned this by telling him that all
The meetings and resolutions and
legislations and everything else the
farmers can do will not better their
condition until they raise their own
meat end bread of every possible
description at home. To this he re-
piled. " What is to become of the
Western farmers, who raise so much
grain, If we raise ours here?" We
replied to him that the best thing Tor
US to DO Ia to look out for our own
interest by having something at
tOme upon which to suhsist.
And this is the true solution for the
South. Raise home supplies and
then very small surplus will do.
We have preached this for four wears
aud we think our readers are begin>
ming TO see that We are right.

Chunks of Sense.

A correspondent to THE DEMO-
CRAr signing himself K. W. says:
Prepare and plant first corn and
oats enough to feed your family and
your hands and your stock, and to
raise and fatten meat enough to
serve the family and leave some to
spare.
Then be sure to plant Irish and
sweet potatoes enough to supply
your family and all your stock, in
Guiding horses and cattle, in case
the corn crop shoald hn cnt short or
prove failure.
Next, If you have any spare man>
ure. land; horsepower and iaoor,
plant the balance Of your ground
one half in pease and the other half
in cotton.
Then be sure to SOW all your oat
land in black or COW pease, not less
than two bushels to the acre. OF
course you will plant cabbage and
cther vegetables to supply the fam
lily both winter and summer and
raise all the chickens and sell all
the eggs yon ca',,
ANY man who will he active, care
fu!, saving aud honest and follow
this plan will ha blessed with plenty
and to spare. Bat any man who
plants his face of TIE earth il Gotten
7lll live hard, die poor and if bis
ehacces fer happines in tta life to
come are no better than here, they
arc very slim indeed.

newspaper the annual statement of
the county expenditures. They

such statement according to statute
cot more than one half cent word,

In Halifax county, there have
been published for at least nine
wears two democratic newspapers,
the Roanoke NeacS at Weldon aud
THE DEMOCRAT at Scotlsnd Neck,

cause the commissioners saw proper
to vary their custom considerably,
and so they gave tue printing to the

their principles of democracy and
worked In harness side by side, so

HOW A BEE FlchTa

Tho Busy Little Toilors Know well How
to Defend Themselves.
An observer writes us, snys the Chr

there is Just as much rivalry betwecf
hum.ning birds and bees in their quest
for honey as there is between members
of the human race in their struggle for
the good things Of life, and describes q
recent quarrel that he saw In Port
land garden, where a humming bird
with an angry dash expressed it's disap-
prevail of the presence of q big humble
bee in the same tree. The usually pug
nacious bee incontinently fed, but he
did not leave the tree.
He dashed back and forth among the
branches and white blossoms, the hum
ming bird In close pursuit. Where will
You find another pair that could dodge
and dart equal 10 these? They were
like flashes Of light, yet the pursuer
followed the track Of the pursued, turn
ing when the bee turned. In short. the
bird and the bee controlled the move
ments Of their bodies more quickly and
more accurately than he could control
the movements Of his eyes. The chase
was all over in half the time 10 has
taken to telfit. but the excitement Of a
pack II hounds after fox was no
greater. The bee escaped, the bird Civ

possible explanation of its unprovolSed
