CRIMSON CLOVER.
Seed for Distribution Offered by the
EXne ri rrte In

The North Carolina Agricultural
Experiment Station has now on
hand small crop of crimson clover
seed in the chat. which will be sent
to every farmer who will make april
cation to tie Station and pay freight
charges on the seed. Ten pounds
will be sent, which is sufficient to SOW
one-ffth of an acre.
Crimson clover (Trifolium incarna-
tum) is known under a variety of
common names-Annual, German,
Scarlet and Italian. This clover is
easily grown, and should come into
quite general use. 1t is an annual,
and consequently must be reseeded
for each crop, which makes it impor-
tant to grow seed at home Seed
may be sown from July to October,
but the land should always be we'll
prepared for it., or, if not, it should
be well shaded, as under a growth of
COW pea vines, or in corn or cotton
crop, when the seed should be sOwn
when the crop is laid by. Grown in
this way it may be of great service
in enriching and holding the land
from washing. Its growth is made
in the cool wet pare of the year, and
it is ready to be made into hay at a
season when planters are waiting for
cotton to veget1te for first working.
This is often dry time, and the hay
can be quickly and easily cured. 1t
may often be best to SOW this clover
with oats, rye, or barley, and cut all
for hay in April or May.
This clover will thrive on land in
moderate condition, but, like some
other forage plants, will pay best
where given rich soil. This COM
position of crimson clover hay shows
it to be a highly nutritious food. 1t
is SO rich that for any use it may well
be fed with some such fodder as
straw, meadow hay, or cotton seed
hulls. When fed for production of
milk, the addition of corn. orcorn or
oats, will tend to add to the good
qualities of the product. Address

NUTS AND GRAPES.
A Valuable Suggestion for Onr
Farming People.

From the Petersburg Index-Appeal.I
A Southern writer suggests plant
ing pecan trees and scuppernong
vines together upon the same ground,
because they are of congenial habits,
and naturally associated at the
South. Doubtless the suggestion is
a good one. We do not believe a
piece of rocky or rugged hill land
could be put to better use than to
plant out the thin shell pecan forty
feet apart each way, and then set a
scuppernong vine IN the cross be,
tween each tour trees, and extend the
trellis as the vines grow. Thus the
land would yield in ten years two
annual crops, either one OF which
would exceed in value any crop on
the farm. These are peculiarly
Southern plants. Neither will do
much north of Virginia. The Soup
pernong is the prince among grapes,
the pecan (thin SHELF the best among
nuts. Both will flourish anywhere
in Eastern Virginia. Both possess
high commercial value. Plant the
pecan and scuppernOng.

Made Eight mtIIInna.

John Stevenson, the great car
builder, who was buried recently
is an illustration of what legiti
mate industry will do in this wonder
full country. He started with moth
ing and he left about $S,O0O.000.
He began at seventeen working for
81 a week and he died at eighty four,
leaving an income of $1O,0OOa week
Yet it was all honestly earned. 1t is
said that Stevenson never invested a
dollar in his life in speculation. He
built with his own hands the first
street car ever made, and he lived to
see 5000 other men building his cars
for almost every country on the face
OF the globe.

A COUNTRY BAND.

From tie Petersburg Index-Appeall
The average country band in q
uniform is a thing of beauty and nor
JOY forever. 1t is noisy like
Niagara, but not impressive. 1t
knocks the knees of melody, and
breaks the legs of time, as Dr.
Holmes may have said. 1t fills tire
night air with din, preventing AMI
aiding the ravages of disease. We
don't know but it is responsible for
suicides, white caps, and the business
depression that is all over the coun-
try. How it does the wrong thing
at the wrong time, and never does
the right thing, was admirably
shown at the Ohio Democratic con
vention the other day. 1t intro
duced the proceedings with a dead
march casting a gloom over the con
vention. Afterwards it played
"McGinty," and, when the conven-
TONS work was done, and eX Gov
ernor Campbell's old enemy, Neal,
was triumphantly, enthusiastically
and unanimously nominated . for
governor, it gave the assemblage

A BRIGHT VIEW
Taken of the Present Financial Con-

Senator Daniel OF Virginia
| do not take a dark and hopeless
view of the controversy, and [ be-
lieve that ere long better times will
come to this country tell you why.
The great wheat crops OF the West
are going to move; the cotton crop
of the South is going to move. As
soon as these great staples, which
are the products of the farming pop
ulation of this country, begin to
bring back to US European gold and
silver, then you will see the machin-
cry of manufacture revive, the wheels
OF commerce turn, the banks rejoice
in renewed confidence, and the coun-
try going On to prosper and to pros
per under the energies of brave,

under the blessing of "a kind Provi-
dence that has ever smiled upon their

An Outline Giving Some Idea of the
Contest Case-Mr. Joel E. Hills
Statement About How the Returns
Were CanYassed at Danbury-Set-
ties Former Campaigns.
Mr.. Cicero W. Harris writes the
Charlotte Observer from Washington
that the evidence in the Williams
Settle contested election case, recent
ly printed and not accessible for gen
eral use, is too yolumInous ever to be
examined by the public. There are
6S7 octave closely-set pages.
The following is a summary of the
evidence from Stokes county.
On the Goth of May at the law office
of r. D. Graham, Washington. Mr..
Joel t. Hill, of Walnut Cove, Stokes
county, testified on behalf of contest
ant. Mr.. Hill is Democrat. He yO-
ted at Germanton and was at the can
yassing of the county returns of
Stokes at Danbury. He is most
important witness, as so much rests
on the question of bull-dOzing on that
day. In answer to a question, he said
of Mr.. Settle, who was present: "He
made several speeches before the
board; [ do not know how many. He
told the board it was their duty co
canvass the returns as they had come
in; they had no right to change the
vote of any precinct, but must can
yaSS the vote without delay, and that
if Mr.. Williams was wronged he could
have his remedy hereafter, and that
they would be liable to Indictment
and delay would run the county to
great deal of expense"
In answer to other questions: "The
crowd was b0iSterOuS and in Sympa-
thy with Mr.. Settle" Mr.. Hill said
he remembered the language of one
man. the clerk of the Superior Court,
IN. O. Petree, who said that be would
spill his blood for his party, and in
substance that when those votes were
contested as per the returns he would
be willing to spill his blood in defense
of his party" He testified that "a
large majority of the crowd were Re
publicans;" that there was fracas on
the first of the two days of the count;
that on the evening Of the first day
pen"-nOt exactly personal fear, but
thought he might get into fuss"
QueStiOn-1n Mr.. Settles former
campaigns had he not been credited
with remarkable skill in getting his
name out upon number Of tickets of
both parties?
Answer think so.
QuestiOn-Was he not charged with
gaining his election as solicitor by
such trick?
OBJECTED to by Mr.. Phillips.
Answer heard it charged: yes.

IN NEW YORK
Rent is the Principal Item of Eek
pense.

PShse.
The most pressing economic ques-
ton that confronts nearly every
citizen of New York is the question of
rent. Few persons own their own
homes. The vast majority live in
rented houses, fats and apartments
and on an average from one-fOurth
to One-third of a mans income is eX-
pended in paying his rent. This
makes the metropolis undesirable as
a place of residence, however great
its other advantages may be. The
statistics on the subject are surpris-
ing. Out of 312, 766 families in New
York city, only 37,604 enjoy the
luxury Of whole house. Over one
fourth OF all the dwellings in the city
contain an average of more than
twenty persons each. Ia the district
below Fourteenth street. on the East
Side, over one half of the dwellings,
contain twenty persons and over
each. This Is one of the most dense
ly populated quarter of the globe.
Even New Workers are surprised to
learn that there are on the average
over eighteen and oneh half persons
to every dwelling in the city. Over
AZ per cent. of all the dwellings, are
tenement-houses and in this ennum-
Grafton the high-class apartment
houses are not included. There are
S,672 dwellings,, which contain ten
families and upward each. Curious
ly enough, multitudes of people pre-
fer to pay high rent for two or
three rooms in a crowded tenement
house than to live in tidy cottage
in the suburbs at half the cost. A
modest five or siX-room fiat in this
city costs more, on an average, than
a comfortable house does in Balti-
more and Philadelphia. New York
is emphatically not city of homes
