The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1892-11-08

Last Thursday Col. Farmer A. Odds
sent some startling news to the Viii
mington Messenger and Charlotte Oh,
SerUer. He said: mo one can now
say that there is not excitement about
the election" He also wrote that ''the
Third party people are in a great many
cases insulting to their neighbors who
are Democrats" Also that the Third
party people intend to bully and pro
woke the Democrats at the polls"
Good gracious, fellow-citizans, has it
come to this9 Is it a fact that this new
party, a little kid only four months
Cd, can bully !" and insult the Demo
cratic party, a party that has been so
good at the same game? This is simply
terrific. The falling of a thousand
ton meteor from mars would not be
more startling than this information.
Our Democratic friends must be get
ting thinned out if they will allow this
kid to jostle them around this easily.
What will it do when it gets a little
older9 Where is Gideon's Banda Why
not call it out for p%rotection9 A week
or two ago we said the State Guard
might be dispensed with. We take it
all back. 1t must be increased for the
protection of the old parties against
the Third party kid.

Mr. CARNEGIE AS AN EMPLOYEES

In 1887 Mr.. Carnegie boasted that he
made a clear profit of n and a half
million dollars. During that winter
he made a reduction in wages and
ordered his men to work twelve hours
a day instead of eight. His men struck
and the struggle lasted five months.
At the end of that time a compromise
was made. In 1892 he made a reduc-
ton of from 10 to 40 per cent. The
public r we'll acquainted with the
struggle going on at Homestead, Pa,
now.
The above facts r cleaned from an
article in BLackWOod's Magazine. This
magazine defends Mr.. Carnegie Per
haps the editor would be on the other
side if his pay should be reduced.

Hello! Mr.. Ecitor,
R-"Good morning Major, How
are you feeling3'
B-"Splendid. Ifeel just Ikea tV'o-
yearo old. Betsy she is wantin' to dance
all he time. 1 reckon if Weaver IS
elected I will have to hire a fiddler for
a month and let her have her fun"
R-"What will she do if Cleveland
or Harrison is elected?"
B-"There will be sad times at this
ranch. Betsy will be fghtin' mad for
wear I'll bet. but if they are it can't
be helped"
R-"No, there is no help for it. Al
ter you do all you can accept the re-
suit and say: If others had done as L
did, the result would have been far diff
ferent.''
B-sThat is what I tell Betsy. /
tell her that right will prevail some
time. IF the reform cause is not en-
tirely successful this time the ranks
will gain strength rapidly during the
next two years. A majority of the
people are not pluto Gratis, but many of
them have not found it out yet. They
will learn mighty fast in the next few
years, The campaign of education will
be continued. Scholars learn fast after
they get through their A B C's. Every
time one of them goes to the store and

son. Every time he hears of a man
failing in business he will know that
there is trouble ahead. Every time he
goes to market with a load of tobacco
he will think about the American To
bacco Trust. When he sells bale of
cotton at z or s cents a pound he will
realize that the dealers In futures are
doing business at the old stand, getting
rich, too, at least many of them are.
He will know that the Plaid Trust is
orming in for its share of the profits of
ad9g4 10y keeping down the price of
>gaw cotton and putting up the price OF
cotton goods. When the scholar sub
scribes for a newspaper he will
know that the type trust has
its fingers in the pie and that
the paper manufacturers r in
for their share of the pile, leaving the
poor editor nothing for his labor.
When any of his friends die, the coffin
trust will rob him of a few dollars be-
fore he can get the dead buried. On
every hand he is robbed to greater or
lesser extent. Only a small portion of
our population are engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits. For that reason they
ought to get good prices for their pro
ducts if for no other. The great bulk
of our population live on the farmers,
and they are draining us to death.
,bERrmers must stick together, get
.fheHkgh of other classes to act with
onem Nand vote with them to change
the policy of the government, 'or else
all will go down ina heap. If they
can but hold the balance of power
much good can be done if they be trut
to themselves, firm, unfinching.
Yours for reform. Goodbye"

LATE NEWS.
WELL PLEAsEp.

WASHINGTON, March 29.- 1t is
said on good authority that the presi-
dent and his cabinet are we'll pleased
with the conciliatory tone of Lord
Salisbury'snote of the 2sth inst, and
especially as it is held to concede the
point that has been the principal
cause of contention, viz: A renewal
of the modus vivendi of last year for
the protection of the seal fisheries.
This alleged concession is believed
to be implied in his proposition to
agree to a modus in case the treaty
of arbitration is ratified, under the
condition that each government shall
guarantee the other for damages in
Cured through the suspension of
sealing operations. The Official who
has been consulted by the president
in regard to the negotiations said he
was especially pleased with Lord
Salisbury's admission that Great Bri-
tain would hold itself liable for dam
ages resulting to the United States
because of the modus vivendi in the
event that the verdict of the arbitra-
tors is adverse to the continent. 1t
is said that altogether Lord Sails
bury's note is satisfactory as indicat-
ing good prospect for amicable set
tlement of the questions at issue.
Further correspondence will be nee
essary TO settle the method of deter
mining the character of damage
claims.

ELIzAsETHTowN.

Elizabethtown, which will make
one Of the finest mining camps in
New Mexico with the advent of the
new railroad, is SO miles west Of
Springer, and the mineral ground is
about five miles wide by ten long,
and consists of free milling gold ore.
The first mining was done before
the war, and even then Elizabeth
town was quite camp.
The next excitement was 1866,
when prospectors from Santa BE
found gold in paying quantities. The
rush of gold seekers followed in
1867, '6S and go. The big ditch
was built in the two latter years and
required from 500 to 600 men for its
construction.
There are nine or'ten paying
mines on the east side, with nearly
as many mills, while on the west or
Elizabethtown side developments
are comparatively small; the deep
est workings do not exceed 100 feet.
The Aztec mine on the east side has
been worked since 1868, and never
failed to pay. The principal owners
of this mine are Lynch Bros, who
also own the 45.mile ditch from Red
river to ElizabethtowE, where for five
months every year since 1869 they
have used the water for placer min
ing, authentic reports showing that
yearly they have cleaned up from
$40, 900 to $4,000.
Other placer diggings are worked
every summer, Jack Williams being
the next heaviest producer. He
came to the camp in 1857 and has
stuck to it ever since. A short re-
sumo of the early history of this
place, in view of the new era of min
ing that will be inagurated, shows
how quickly towns have sprung int o
bustling, active realities, and almost
as rapidly disappeared and been for
gotten until the march of progress
has made possible their rehabilita-
tion and rejuvenation.
The veins intersect the mountains
in an almost east and west direction.
The old towns are all gone except
Elizabethtown. They have been
ground sluiced away. Mountain
City stood close to the junction of
Last Chance and Willow gulcbes,
where five men in five days sluic-
ing took out 934 pounds of gold,
This placer gold came from the
veins contiguous, which assay all the
way from 81 to $500 TO the ton
and principally free milling. The
camp at present contains miners
whose knowledge of leads or veins is
limited, as they have followed placer
and who have but lately woke up to
a realization of the value of the min
eral stored in the assures of the noun
tains since some Coloradoans became
interested in the district.
The principal owners Of leads
quartz veins-in the camp are Lynch
Brothers and Messrs. Ryan, Ritchi'

There are remains OF three distinct
races, distinguished by cranial devel-
opment and classified as cliff jewellers,
valey jewellers and plain dweilexs.
This distinction is shown in the outline
of the skulls illustrating this letter.
Among the human remains found by
MIR. Green's party were several well
preserved mu1nnies. One rs that OF
woman, six feet two inches high. So
prolific in archaeological curiosities has
this region been found that stock
company with a capital of one hundred
thousand dollars has been organized at
Chicago for the purpose of Investigating
the subject as has been done in the
ancient ruins of Europe and Asia. This
society will pay especial attention to
unearthing the archaeological wonders
of prehistoric man with which this con-
tinent abounds.
The pottery is of two styles, coiled
and decorated. The coiled ware was
made either from ropes of mud laid to
gether, or were nodded i'll baskets which
were burned away in the process of
hardening. The decorated pottery pre-
sents rare samples of decorative art. In
some of the vases were found Indian
corn and species Of seed not yet iden-
tilted as belonging to the vegetable
kingdom of this country.
One piece of pottery was decorated
with Maltese cross. A bottle shaped
piece was found that seemed to have
been used as a lamp. Many baskets of
wiclerworl1 were found well preserved.
They were shaped to cit the back, and
that metF cd of conveying food from the
valleys to the houses was no doubt in
vogue. This basket may have origin
ated the papoose board of the Indians
Mr.. Green's party found in one Of the
houses pair of crutches, testifying to
humane care for the crippled. Several
canes tell the same story. One house
of great dimensions, standing on a
broad ledge and running back under
the cliff eighty feet, was ten stories
high. In this was found ladder
reaching from one story to another,
and evidently served the place of stairs.
Of implements great variety were
found of both stone and wood. A large
number Of sandals were unearthed;
they were made from the fbers of the
yucca, the feathers of the turkey and
the hide of the buck. Mr.. Green has
over three hundred pairs. The nipple
ments found were of bone and horn,
and of great variety for domestic and
other purposes. Beads of bone and gar
nets and turquoise ornaments were
found. OF textile fabrics were bands
for the body, caps, cotton and wooden
cloth, pieces Of buclzskin, socks of the
hair of wild animals, string of yucca
fiber and large strips Of leather cloth.
One mummy of an infant was found
wrapped in a wildcats skin well tanned.

ous. Mr.. Green returned with an ex-
traordinary collection of curiosities.
Same of tie houses 900 and REQ feet
above the valley were found provided
with turrets like those of European
castles which were constructed for the
archers who :rom them hurled down
darts upon assaulting enemies. These
retreats seem to have been invulnerable
against assault, but as to the provision,
L any, against siege we know nothing.

This tradition seems to indicate some
migration.
The cliff jewellers seem to have lived
before the time Of the mound builders,
for among all the relics found among
the cliff ruins there is not single
metal article. The copper relics OF the
mound builders are legion. indicating
an advanced and later civilization.
An interesting feature of the discov-
cries are the hieroglyphics that cover
the walls. These bear striking re-
!senblance to the writings found in
Mexico and Brazil, while the pottery
also, to great extent, is similar in de-
sign and finish to that found in the
