= NOT so HARD AS 1T SEEMS.

A patent strikes person as an appallingly
formidable thing. The idea is that an inventor
must be natural genius, like Edison or Bell;
that he must devote years to delving in compli-
Gated mechanical problems and that he must
spend fortune on delicate experiments before
he can get a new device to patentable degree
of perfection. This delusion the company de-
sires to dispel It desires to get into the head
OF the public a clear comprehension of the fact
that 1t is not the great complex, and expensive
inventions that bring the best returns to their
authors. but the little, simple and cheap ones
the things that seem so absurdly trivial that
the average citizen would feel somewhat
ashamed of bringing them to the attention of
the Patent Office.
Edison saws that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous invent
ions have not been sufficient to pay the cost of
his experiments. But the man who conceived
the idea OF fastening bit OF rubber cord to a
child's ball, so that it would come back to the
hand when thrown. made fortune out of the
scheme. The modern sewing machine is mi
racle OF ingenuity-the product of the toll of
hundreds of busy brains through a hundred
and Atty years. but the whole brilliant result
rests upon putting the eye of the needle at the
point instead of at the other end.

SOiling ys. Pasturing.


On the dairy farm the advantages
of soiling are several. One is econ
.omy of food. The animals being
kept reasonably quiet do not require
80 much food for sustenanee and
with good management there need
be bnt little waste in feeding out,
very much less, at least, than if the
stock are on the pastures. Another
advantage is the saving ofland; less
land will be required to furnish
feed for a COW, fencing can be large
ly dispensed with, and in this way
the quantity of waste land be large
ly reduced, while the expence of
keeping up the farm may be con-
siderably lessened. There is no
question but that much larger
number of cattle in proportion to
the acreage can be kept by soiling
than would be possible by pastur-
ing. This gives an increased guam
tity and better quality of manure.
Experience has clearly proven
that with soiling the fertility of the
farm can be built up very rapidly.
Every farmer understands that it
is a difficult matter to build up a
run down farm by pasturing and
growing crops.
1t is also possible to keep the
stock in much better condition.
The quantity of feed can be regulat-
ed according to the needs of each
animal and a better condition be
secured with less food.
But there are disadvantages also
that it may be well to consider.
The work must be planned ahead
and such crops sown or planted as
will supply feed all through the
growing season, with surplus to
cut, cure and store away for winter.
One crop must follow another, and
for this reason in the latter part of
summer or fall is when the plan
should be commenced, so as to SOW
rye, as this is one of the very best
crops for this purpose.
Another disadvantage is the in
creased work. While stock is on
the pasture very little work is need
ed to look after them. But in soil
ing the feed must be cut and hauled
in every day, and this is no incon-
siderable item. In dairying the
plan has nearly always proved prof
liable, but when dairving is made
only a minor part of the farm work
the plan increases the labor too
much, especially where land is
cheap. In some localities, too, the
the land is better adapted to pastur-
age than to anything else.

The readers of the GOLD LEAF will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
to cure in all its stages and that is catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being a constitutional disease re-
quires a constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the cOnsti-
tuition and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much faith
in its curative powers that they offer one
hundred dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

No man is more to be envied to -day
than the owner of a farm, be it large
or small, who is out OF debt and has
learned to SO manage it that it fur
nishes an abundant supply for the

to be laid by for future use. There
are men who are doing this on a few
acres. We visited one in Franklin
county, Ohio, whose farm contained
IS acres and the sales were Se,5o a

a farm of 20 acres, only half tllable,
who sold an average of S4,ooo per
year. Both of these are unusual cases
and are only mentioned to show some

WITH the coming of cold weather
the black pail and the shadow Of death
which have hung over and stalked
about the streets Of Brunswick, Ga, =,
for several months, have been lifted.
The yellow fever is no longer epidemic,
the dreaded sCourge is at an end and
the stricken city breathes free again.
On last Friday the quarantine was
raised by order of Surgeon Murray,
and the first through passenger train
on the regular fast schedule pulled in
loaded with passengers. Two coaches
and sleeper were packed and jammed
with returning refugees. The engine
and cars were decorated with flags,
handkerchiefs were waving from the
windows, and the train pulled up to
the depot amidst shouts and cheers
from a large crowd of people. The
country at large will rejoice with the
people OF Brunswick in a return to the
former condition of things and the
pursuits of business which have been
dormant and stagnant on account Of
the epidemic during the summer.

AN EDITOR LEAVES THE STATE

AN EDITOR LEAVES THE STATE.
In common with his friends through
out the State the GOLD LEAF regrets
to announce that Mr.. James T. Griffin
has sold his paper the Marion Ere
Lane, and left last week to make his
home in Oklahoma. The purchaser
vas Mr.. Samuel Archer, editor of the
RrT0lutiOn, populist paper recently
published at Charlotte. Whether he
viii continue the publication of the
Free Lance at Marion or remove the
outfit to Charlotte and resurreCt the
Rr20IuH0n we are not advised. We
understand Mr.. Griffin offered to sell
his paper to the Democrats, at a lower
price than he got, but they would not
buy. While regrettlng his retirement
from North Carolina journalism and
his removal from the State our young
friend carries with him to his new
home our best wishes for future sue
cess and prosperity. He will locate
at Pond Creek, l.. county, Oklahoma.

Mr.. Griffin is a native of Eastern
North Carolina, but since coming

and high character have won for him

APPEARANCES ARE DECEPT.yE

All recognize the advantage of a good
character. All people Try more or less to
have one; all wish to be thought to have
one. "What a gOOdly outside falsehOod
hath - Men whose decided qualities are
bad assume to be what they are not, and
good men who have not the power to read
and interpret character from its outside
show, repOSe confidence and are deceived.
All the embeZZlements and defalcatiOns
that are now so common are caused by the
miSjudgmentS of men in entruSting their
affairs to unworthy persons. A large part
of the failures of life arise from erroneous
opinions formed of those we entrust with
our affairs and to whom we mistakenly
give credit. Truly hath it been said, the
proper study of mankind is man." The
signs and symbols; of every mans true
inWardnesS' are hung upon the outside,
and if we "having eyes see not" and fail
to read them we become as the simple who
"paSs on and are punished" How silly
that people should ever attempt to sail
under false cOlOrs when the means Of de-
lection are SO easy and when the result is
so ruinous. But if all men should be de-
ceived by the goodly outside of falsehood
there is one to whom the secret thoughts
and intentS of the heart are laid bare The
wisest and best of earth sometimes mis-
Judge but He never does. The prophet
Samuel, man of great wisdom, who had
seen much of the world, was sent by God
to anoint a king for Israel from the sons of
Jesse and mistook the stately and majestic
countenance of Eliab for the one chosen OF
the Lord. But God said, Look not on his
cOuntenance or on the height of his stat
ure; because l have refused him; for the
Lord seeth not as man seeth, for man look
eth on the outward appearance, but the
Lord 1ooketh on the heart"
A good character, and no other, Will
stand the gaze of His all seeing eye. In His
law which l will now further quote, He
hath clearly pointed out the utter foolish
ness of men in seeming to be what they are
character not actually possessed. 1.-The
Lord searcheth all hearts and understand.

Thou only knoweSt the hearts of all the

COMMENTING on the remarkable
message of Gov. Tillman to the South
Carolina legislature, in which he makes
a violent assault upon the courts, both
State and Federal, the New Berne
Journal aptly says sit is bad business
to bring the courts into dlsrepute.
Convince the people that the courts
are not worthy of their respect and
the most direful results will follow.
One deplorable thing already IS that
too many people do not respect the
majesty of the law. They view with
suspicion our so-called justice as it IS
some times administered, and in this
fact lies the fruitful source of mob
violence and lynch law. Gov. Tillman
or any other person occupying the
high and responsible position he does
is engaged in bad business when by
his words or acts he teaches people TO
have less respect for the courts.
