FALL PIGS.

Those fall pigs, says an exchange,
were allowed to bed under the straw
stacks, conseq Iently they, like the old
wOman's shOestrlngs, r all IN a knot.
They don't grow, but NOPE around
with red bellies and scabby backs,
coughing and wheeling like little en-
gines. So that knocks the profit out of
tina hog raising business for this year.
Our neighbOrs will be sure to say they
have the cholera when they see them.
There would have been economy in
building a good, warm stable for them
last fall. Experience has taught us
that hogs are not the ilthiest creatures
on earth, as some upright hogs might
suppose them to be and that a pen with
three apartments will give them an OPP
portunity of showing themselves not TO
be such, Build a stable 8 by "a feet
with plank fOOr. Divide it into three
apartments, with small doors leading
from n to the other. Put straw in
the one for a bed, let them have the
middle one in which to drop their ex
crement, and feed them in the other,
and you will find their feeding room to
be kept pretty clean, as well as their
sleeping apartments. Filthiness be-
comes a habit with the pigs, as we'll as
with the upright hogs, and, as cleauli-
ness tends to healthiness, we think it
the first requisite to success In hog
raising. A liberal amount of Iinseed
meal fed to the mother of those pigs
which were to come during March and
April would have helped them along.
And a meat bone fed a few days before
those pigs arrived would have lessened
the liability to being devoured by the
mother. Not all flowing streams are
fit for "even a hog to drink FROM" es.
pecially when cholera is in the neigh
OorhOOd. Drugs and medicines that
tend to irritate the throat and stomach
prepare the way for the disease germs.
When a hog is sick, turn 1t out by it
self, supply it with plenty of water,
salt, ashes and grass or grain, and leave
it to it's fate.

THE ROAD

The following editorial remarks on
this subject appeared in the Lynchburg
Advance of the 18th of September. We
appreciate very highly this evidence
of a growing interest in this important
question, and trust that the example
set by the AdUGnce may be followed by
the press of the Sta5e and nation. Pub
lie opinion requires to be educated on
this matter, aud withOuJ the aid of the
press this must necessarily be a slow
process. With it's help the work can
soon be accomplished, and steps be
taken to compel a recognition by the
National and State authorities of the
necessity for immediate action. EveiV

Will not the press help us to shorten
this period and stop this loss? We
must have a State convention to dis

F. Jackson, editor Of the Southern

Mr.. Jackson stated that he had trav-

roads in this country are the worst he

better roads. Our roads are not roads

BRUNSWICK COUNTY MEETING.

EXCELSIOR, n. @,
Mr. EDTTOR:-The Bruins WICK County
Alliance met Oct. 18Th with Liberty
Alliance. The day was exceptionally
fine, and at an early hour the brethren
and sisters began to assemble and by
10 o'clock the crowd had principally
gathered. Three Subs failed to report
to this meeting which reported to the
July meeting, consequently the atten-
dance was not as large as heretofore.
But for harmony and good feeling l
have never seen it equaled, thus show
ing that to belong to the Farmers Al
lance is full of significance. The
brethren and sisters had an excellent
dinner prepared which was spread out
on a long table hastily imprOvised for
the occasion, and all did ample justice
to the occasion.
Then the meeting re-assembled In
the house and finished up the regular
routine of business without contention
or d~issension, and adjourned to meet
with Atlantic Alliance on the second
Thursday in January next.

COTTON.

The recent fluctuations in the price
of cotton are of great interest to the
cotton planter. The price of cotton is
now, and has been for the past year,
abnormally low. The cost of prOduc-
ton has been greater than the selling
price In all sections of the cotton pro
ducing district. This has produced a
general stringency IN business circles,
and much financial embarrassment
and distress among the planters. The
results of these were plainly shown at
planting time, when the acreage was
reduced about 10 per cent. according
to reliable estimates, and the hard
times influenced the purchase of fertil-
1zers to such al extent that their use
is reported to be greatly decreased
from last year. Consequently, there
has been less cotton planted, and what
vas planted has been fortified less.
Add to this the fact hat the season
has on the average been bad, and
worms are doing much damage in
some sections, and the certainty of
a greatly reduced crop become ap-
parent.
Last years crop is loosely spoken of
as a 8, 900, 900 BALE crop. If the acreage
be reduced 10 per cent, the crop. if
equal in every other respect 10 last
year, would only be about 900, 900 of
bales. But the condigion is shown bv
official reports to be very much below
last year, and if this make S the weld
per acre 121 per cent. less, it would
reduce the crop to about 1000. 900
bales. In addition to this, the low
price of cotton has stimulated the uses
and consumption of cotton in new
channels. and the spinning demand
for the present year, unless prices go
extremely high, will be much greater
than ever before. The demand last
wear demon trated the necessity of an
5000, 900 bale crop to supply IL, which
now makes it fair to conclude that an
$500. 600 bale crop viii be necessary to
supply the spinning demand Of the
coming year. IL these figures be true,
or anything near it, the surplus will
soon vanishand a short crop command
high prices. Spectators are taking
hold Of cotton like they believed IL
this condition.
Strikes are reported In the British
mills by the daily press, 1t is a good
time for the speculator to get up a few
strikes in the British mills if he can,
because during the months of October

kets the bulk of his sop, and if prices
can be kept down until the speculator
soueezes the cotton out of the farmers
hands, he will get the full benefit of
the rise which present conditions indi-
cate as highly probable. The condi-
ton seems to be one in which the bears
are fighting an inevitable rise In every
possible manner, and while they lose
Ground slowly, the DELAYS are utilized
By the speculator in gobbling up every

1t seems, therefore, that cotton must
bring a better price later in the season,
but the Economist does not desire to
be held responsible for any man hold
ing his cotton. That is speculation,
and every man must speculate IN his

Phoenix is an old name; Arizona is an
old name; Maricopa is an Indian name
why not change these, also?
Aside from question as to the au-
thority of the council to change the
names, it is an aggravated sacrilege to
even propose such thing.
The pioneers who established the
town, who first inhabited the valley
and made it possible for others to fol-
low, were satisfied with the names.
The men who fought and vanquished
the Indians race that will be ex-
tinct in half a century-were pleased
to build monuments to these achieve
ments by bestowing the names OF their
conquered foes upon the streets of the
city.
But now a council that has as yet
done nothing worthy OF history pro-
poses to illegally, with one swoop as it
were, abolish the landmarks and wipe
out the records of the deeds of valor
done by the brave and hardy pioneers.
The people want Mohave street and
Pima street and Maricopa street just as
mnch as they want Van Buren, street
and Jackson street and Adams street,
and they object to the proposition of q
do-nothing council to change the
names and landmarks Of the city-at
least without an opportunity to vote

AN OUTRAGE.

The forged manifesto from Pope Leo
printed in the Herald last night is an
outrage and step beyond the bounds
of public decency.
The fact that it originated in the
Herald Office and was printed for the
express purpose of insulting our Cath
Ollie citizens makes it all the more rep
rehensible. The article has not the
shadow Of truth and not even the merit
of being "boiler plate" or a clipping
from some other paper. The dastardly
and bareiaced forgery was written in
the Herald Office and put in type in the
Herald office, and that miserable apol-
ogy for newspaper thus places itself
on record as fighting, in the most dis
honorable manner known, the Catholics
of the city, comprising one Of the lar
gest, most respectable and intelligent
elements of society.
Father Jovenceau was last night
justly very indignant at the publica-
ton and will today demand retraction
and apology from the Herald, which
y that cringing sheet will likely do. But
it has shown it's disposition 10 stab the
Catholic church, even resorting to
forging the pope's name to accomplish
It's purpose, and any apology that the
Herald may make will be because it has
been forced through fear to do 80 and
not because it does not hate and de-
spise the Catholics as shown by the ma
levolent article printed last night.

AN INHUMAN SUGGESTION.

The suggestion contained in the
evening Herald to construct a public
sink for the reception of all men out OF
employment, there to be treated to =
douse bath, is inhuman. While there
are an over plenty of vags and thugs
on the street, %ho need more substan-
tisl recognition than cold water
douse, there are great many deserving
men who are out OF employment from no
fault Of their own. The fippant writer
who would consign an honest man TO
the cold water treatment for being out
Of Job when there is no job to be had
should reflect well, for there are times

OPPOSE A CHANGE.

The citizens OF Phoenix, and especially
the old residents and property owners,
are opposed to changing the names OF
the streets.
The people have become accustomed
to the names, they are part of the
nomenclature OF the city, and there
would be as much sense in changing
the name OF Phoenix, the names OF the
counties, the mountains, the rivers,
and even the name OF the territory it.
