Of his constituents are unable to buy

Representative Bum for giving SO
much Of his time and attention to his

THE FARMER.

Mankind could survive the collapse
of all other Industries but this: The
one essential man is the farmer. He
is the king Of all and at the same time
the servant OF all. His reign began
with Adam and will last as long as the
sun shines and the rain falls. He is
of the few laborers who never 90 on a
strike, and who could not afford to 90
on a strike. His stopping work would
be as bad as cutting off the world S
supply of air. The farmer not only
gives the world its bread and meat,
not only sustains the bodily life from
year to year, but he forms a vast
surplus OF reserve capital upon which
the citizens and nations are constantly
drawing for the maintenance Of their
physical and intellectual health.
Country air and country light seems
to make strong minds and strong
souls. The freshness and breadth and
originality which comes from close
communion with nature, are needed
TO give lite and blood to the depleted
and urban system. From the begin
ming Of our history, the farmer has
contributed great men TO American
business and politics, providing intel
lectual and moral as we'll as physical
material tor the country, and we have
reason to be thankful that we can look
TO him for this also in the future, as
we'll as for the products Of the soil =

THE STATES EXHIBIT.
Some Things Shown atthe New Berne
Fair.

The /durnal says this OF the exhibit
made by the State Agricultural De-
partment at the New Berne fair last
week:
The State exhibit, comprised the
best Of the articles shown at the Worlds
Fair 1t is an educational exhibit as
to the hidden wealth of the State and
no one should fail to examine it we'll.
To begin with there are ranged on
the walls and in the windows photo
graphs of views in the State from the
mountains to the sea coast. These
photographs are in 3 sizes, I2xI4,
2ox24 and 24x5o and 1I2 are dis
played. Others were brought but for
lack Of space were not put up.
One set Of the photographs shows
in succession every step in the process
of turpcntinc farming and another is
devoted to trucking scenes while many
of the pictures are miscellaneous. They
bring out the wide range Of our
climate the sub-troplcal Palmetto
flora of the coast as found on Smiths
Island and grove Of balsam FIR "a
Canadian tree) of the mountains. The
differences others get from South to
North we get from East to West and
get them in the one State.
About 40 samples of building stones
are shown GRANTEES and marbles are
there in great variety and in more
kinds than the average man knows of
at all.
The display of gold nuggets, free
gold ores, crystals, beryls, &C., and of
economic minerals should not be
missed.
Taxidermized specimens Of aquatic
and valuable fir bearing animals are
shown and about 60 varieties Of
aquatic birds.
Nearly hundred samples of woods
found in the State are shown and there
is not duplicate in the lot.
The beautiful spotted stone among
the marbles, granite and other building
stones, which nearly every visitor
noticed with admiration was Loop
ardlte. 1t takes its name from the
dark spots which abound in it. If any
one wants palmer description than
this we will say that it is "porpho-hytc
rock with manganese stains, dendrltic
FORMS" then maybe they'll know more
about it.
Leopardite is a rare stone there is
| only one place in the United States in
which it is found and that place is
Mecklenburg county, n. c., and the
deposit there, is as beautiful as is found
in the world. All Astrological societies
get their specimens from this source.
The undeveloped wealth Of North
Carolina is great and not halt appre
ciated but the day is not far distant
when it will be, and exhibitions like
the above will aid materially in bring
ing it about through the knowledge of
the resources that will thus be diffused.

NORTH CAROLINA.

We are proud of our sister States,
but in the American constellation no
star shines with a purer luster than
North Carolina. Her past at least is
secure. Without spot on her escut-
CheoB, her sons look to the future with
hope and confidence.
In the fertility of her soil, the sa-
lubrity of her climate and the treas
ures locked in her mountains she has
the promise of coming greatness but
superior to these is her reliance upon
the bravery of her sons and the virtue
of her daughters.
Without disloyalty to the Union,
it may be said that the people of our
State find little hope for the better
ment Of their condition in the present
aspect of national affairs.
The expectation that the restored
Democracy would lift from their necks
the burdens that Cypress them is not
being realized. and the Moses whom
they fondly hoped would lead them to
Canaan, flowing with milk and
honey, seems to be lost in the wilder
ness. The principles OF Democracy
are as pure as ever, and the Chicago
platform is the unrepealed law of the
party, but the heart is deceitful
above all things and desperately
wicked
In this condition of affairs we turn
hopefully to the State. Here we may
find whatever is essential to the hap
plness and welfare of the people Her
educational institutions are of high
order, temples dedicated 10 the living
God crown her hills, and every facility
is afforded for intellectual and moral
improvement. Her administration Of
public affairs is wise and conservative,
and her courts of Justice are open to
the humblest of her citizens.
What then is needed? What more
than a manly self-reliance?
We have no hostility to the North,
and nothing but the kindest feelings
tor the West, but charity begins at
home, and, with every prerequisite for
sclf-support. it is supreme folly to con-
tinue to procure our manufactured
articles in the North and our provisions
supplies in the West.
North Carolina fabrics are equal to
those of New England, and they tell
US that our homemade hay is superior
to that brought from the West.
When the time comes that North
Carolina cotton will be spun in North
Carolina factories, North Carolina
wheat ground in North Carolina mills
and North Carolina lands cultivated
with North Carolina raised horses and
mules, her homes will be the abodeS
of comfort, and her sons and daughters
independent and happy.-Littleton
Courier.

RINGWOOD, y. t., FEB. 26, 1891.
EDITOR GOLD LEAF Mr.. d. W. Har-
dee, OF your town, was on a visit to rela-
tives and friends in this section week
ago. He has many friends in this county
who are always glad to welcome him.
Mr.. Edward Wills, of Brinkleyville,
bought hall Jersey heifer from Mr.. c.
w Garrett, twelve years ago this winter
She has given Mr.. Wills 10 heifer calves
and bull calves in the - years. Her
first heller calf he sold to Mr.. Garrett for
$50. The four following calves were
heifers which sold for $2125O, next
two bull calves he sold for $50 The
eighth calf, heifer, he sold to Mr.. Sam
Pope, of Enfield, for $50 and Mr.. Pope
says he would not take 800 for her
now. Her last 3 calves are heifers one of
which will drop & calf first Of April.
Mr.. Wills says he has never heard of
one of the heifers sold giving less than 4
gallons milk per day, and the best one

TIE GROWTH OF A NEW SOUTH
ERN INDUSTRY.

In the last issue of the Southern
States magazine, of Baltimore, Mr.
D. A. Tompkins, who has been so
closely identified with the develop
ment Of the cottonseed-oil industry of
the South, gives very interesting &C
count of the progress that has been
made in fattening cattle on cottonseed
bulls and meal. A few years ago,
when the tattening qualities of this
material were demonstrated, it was
hardly realized how great would be
the effect upon the livestock interests
of the South. From Carolina to
Texas this business is steadily increas-
ing, and from 800 head fattended ten
years ago the number has now in
creased to $4,000 fattened for
market, while 100000 are fed for
dairy purposes, making at present
nearly 3oo, 900 head of cattle fed on
material that ten years ago was thrown
away. Every oil mill in the South"
Mr.. Tompkins says ais now selling
large quantities of hulls and meal for
cattle teed. The mills will work L.
100000 tons of seed, from which will
come 10000 tons of hulls. Each
ton of hulls, with its pro rata of meal,
will make a fine fat beef of a lean
steer. The oil business is constantly
increasing, and it will not be long be-
fore there will be 100000 tons of it
available" Much of this will 60 to
make good beef, and much will go for
the production Of good milk and
butter. The growth of this industry
and the effect which it will have upon
the dairy and beef interests Of the
South can be appreciated from the
fact that even from Greenvile, S. c.,
which is in a section where the ma
jority of Northern people scarcely ex-
pect to find good beef, 500 head OF
fattened beeves were shipped to Balti-
more last year.
The South scarcely begins to get
one new industry we'll developed be-
fore the possibilities of some other are
seen, and it becomes difficult to follow
the rapid progress that is being made
in the Investigation of its industrial
life. Everything is tending to open
up the withdrawing possibilities OF
the amazing resources of this section.
and the world will soon see, as it has
never seen before, that there is nc
other country on earth which has such
marvellous combination of advan-
tages with 50 few disadvantages. Where
nature has done SO much it only re.
mains for man to utilize, as he is now
doing, these advantages, to create
greater wealth than can be found any
where in America. Baltimore Manu-.

We earnestly suggest that the County
Commissioners have the accumulated
piles of ashes and chips and other refuse
r>moued at once from the North entrance of
the court house. Futher-that they cause
a sufficient number OF nice shade trees to
be set in the square to beautify and add
comfort to the court house and grounds,
thereby enhancing in value the people $
property. Wefurther suggest that suffi-
cient earth shall be banked around the
walls of the court house to prevent its
being further undermined
COUNTY JAIL.
We find the county Jail we'll kept,
clean, comfortable and in good sanitary
condition; plenty fresh water for
sewerage and other purposes. Roof

prevent damage to walls by leaks We
suggest that one of the front rooms OF
the building be fitted up securely to con.
fine female prisoners, which can be done
at small cost. We commend the Sheriff

condition Of the Jail.
