The Hon. John E. Russell didn't want
to run for governor Of Massachusetts,
but yielded to the piteous appeals of his
Democratic friends. But after his
speech in the convention in which he
explained that it WAS not true that the
Democrats were leading a forlorn hope
because they were not leading any hone
at all. it is unlikely that there will be
any piteous appeals to him to take the
stump. A man who had declared in his
speech of acceptance that there was no
hope at all for himself or his parry. il
he went upon the stump, would proba-
bly, be much more effective in keepinp
his party at home on election day than
in getting it out Hence there will
probably be no very loud calls for Mr..
Russell to mount the platform. So far as
we can see there will be nothing in his
candidacy to prevent him from devoting
himself entirely to recuperating his en-
ergies which he well nigh exhausted in
his efforts, as he says, to get his party in
Congress to live up to i is pledges.

An order from the President just at
this time for the officeholders to keep
out of politics will be likely to be con-
strued by the Hon. David Bennett Hill
as direct slap at him. And that con-
struction won't probably be far from
the truth.

Hill had considerable trouble to get
anybody to take Judge Gaynor's place
ON the ticket with him. Several law
yers applied to fatty refused. The
man whom he finally prevailed upon to
take it is a judge of the Supreme Court,
who really risks nothing, inasmuch as
if he is not elected to the Court of Ap-

The referendum which was a popular
" fad" in Massachusetts year ago and,
got. recognition in the platforms of both
parties was entirely ignored this year.
The trouble with the referendum idea is
that it assumes that the voters will
generally inform themselves upon legis-
lation submitted to them and generally
express their opinion at the polls.
when as matter of fact experience in
cases of constitutional amendments
which are always submitted to the
people, has Demonstrated over and over
again and that only small part of the
people can be depended upon to vote upon
legislative acts. Hence, instead of the
verdict of the whole people which might
be. valuable we should get the opinion
of only part and in most cases very
small part of the people. AS popular
Endorsement of the laws the legislature
had enacted it would amount to nothing,
andsthe. time and expense spent in it
would be simply wasted.

Cotton Seed for Hogs.

Cor. Charleston News 81 Courier
"The seed are now being sold at
one-half their value, considered as Il
stock food, as compared with the
market value of corn. There is an
abundant crop OF sweet potatoes,
which can neither be marketed nor
preserved to advantage. Cotton
seed and sweet potatoes mixed III
proportion for one bushel of the
former to three of the latter and
boiled together will give hog food
equal in every respect to corn and
absolutely safe. To those not hav-
ing potatoes and using corn as a sole
fattening ration, l would suggest to
use cotton seed and corn, bushel for
bushel, and grind together or cook.
Fed according to either method
every bushel of cotton seed is worth
to the farmer as much as half
bushel of corn, or at the present price
of corn, thirty-five cents per hushel,
while their present market price is
less than half Criticisms OF aboye
suggestions will be cheerfully and
scientifically discussed"

ENCOURAGING FEATURES.

The following encouraging features
in Southern manufacturing interests,
for the past week, are noted by the
Chattanooga Tradesman:
New cotton mills are continuing
to spring up in the South. A 10000
spindle mill was organized this week
by the Clifton Manufacturing Com,
pany, of Clifton, S. C. Two large
cotton mills at New Orleans have
concluded to go into finer goods.
The Mineola Lumber Company, with
100000 capital, was organized
at Mineola, Ga; the Shreveport
Fertilizer Company, with a $4,000
capital, at Shreveport, La; the
Paducah Electric Company, with a
$4,000 capital, at Paducah, KY,
this week.
"The Standard Lumber Company,
of Goldsboro, N. c., decided this week
to put $4,000 into a furniture and
veneer factory. Advices to the
Tradesman Indicate quite valuable
discoveries this week of barytes for
commercial uses in Alabama and
Georgia.
How long must it be before the
trade papers may record a cotton
factory, a woodworking plant, OF
some new and important manufac-
turing industry for Winston and
Salem?

Paste This In Your Desk.

From Demorests Magazine
How many people know how to
send q stamp in a letter? Nine peo-
pie out of ten stick it SO carefully
down that the recipient always loses
his temper and generally the stamp,
in the effort to release it. 1t is real
ly more eyasperating than when the
sender forgets altogether the stamp
he should have inclosed, for then, at
least, it is not wasted. Even the
most extravaganza of us seldom have
souls above savinga stamp, for it is,
strangely, far dearer to us than the
two cents it represents. The tenth
person sends it loose, which is well
enough, providing it does not slip
out unseen and vanish, as these
totally depraved small things have
a trick of doing. The proper way is
a very simple one. Cut with sharp
knife two parallel Sits at the top of
your letter, and slip in your stamps,
which will thus travel as safely as if
in a special paper case.
Perhaps you have been in coun-
try village where money orders and
postal notes are unknown, and, for
some reason, it becomes necessary
to send change in a letter. Cut a
piece of light card board the size OF
the envelope and from this cut circu-
lar pieces the size of your coins. In
sert the coins, and paste a strip OF
paper across one or both sides.

Preparing for Christmas - An Old

Correspondence of the Sentinel
MANA, Dec. 1.-THE young folks
here are preparing to give a rare
and racy entertainment at the
Baptist church. 1t is under the
management of Miss Lula Poindex-
ter and Miss Dora Shore-a certain
ty that it will be rare treat.
The many friends OF Mrs. W. S.
Logan gave her a surprise birthday
dinner the 9Th, and it was indeed a
grand and happy surprise to her.
She knew nothing of it and was some
what dazed on coming bone Gas she
and her husband had gone q few
miles in the country to find her
house crowded with the neighbors
and a dinner ready for her fit for a
King. Mrs. Logan was 50 years old
the 9Th. May she live to see many
more such occasions.
Died near Tracodia, this county,
"Uncle" Billy Phillips, in his 92d year.
He was one of Yadkin's old land
marks-a man of tender and gen
ial nature, one who had many friends
and whose life was spent in that quiet
way that it was an honor TO he his
friend and neighbor. He was mar
ried three times, and leaves a loving
and tender wife and five children,
with many grand and great grand
children to mourn his death.
Mr.. Lum Russell, near Yadkinville,
butchered a hog that weighed 656.
He was 8 feet long and took five men
to hang him up.
Trade at the stores is certainly
fine and the people seem not to be SO
hard up about money. b.

The Legend of the Beautiful Hand:

There was dispute among three
ladies as to which had the most
beautiful hand. One sat by a stream
and dipped her hand in the water
and held it up; another plucked
Strawberries until the ends of her
fingers were pink; and another gath
cred violets until her hands were
fragrant. An old, haggard woman
passing by asked "Who will give me
a gift. for l am poor?" All three
denied her; but another who sat near,
unwashed in the stream, unstained
with fruit, unedorned with flowers,
gave her little gift and satisfied the
poor woman. And then ste asked
them what was the dispute, and they
told her, and lifted up before her
their beautiful hands. beautiful
indeed" said she when shesaw them.
But when they asked her which was
the most beautiful, she said, 1T is
not the hand that is washed clean in
the brook, it is not the hand that is
tipped with red, it is not the hand
that is garlanded with fragrant
flowers, but the hand that gives to
the poor is the most beautiful" AS
she said these words her wrinkles
fed, her staff was thrown away. and
she stood before them an angel from
Heaven with authority to decide the
question in dispute. And that de-
cision has stood the test of all time.

GOOD ROADS.

1t is a matter of congratulation
that our people are taking more in
terest in the matter of road improve
ment-a subject of very great i'm
portance to those living in the towns
as well as to those living in the coun-
try, and one which should enlist the
best efforts of all classes. Our in
terest in this question is, also, at
tracing attention elsewhere. The
Baltimore Sun of a recent date says:
"North Carolina is waking up on
the subject OF better reads. AS a
proof of this, announcements of
meetings for the discussion of this
important subject never fail to draw
out large audiences. A case in point
was a lecture last week at Wake
Forest by State Geologist Holmes
on "Good Roads," He was greeted
by very large audience, many per-
sons coming considerable distances
to hear the lecture, which was illus
trated by a large and varied collec
ton of stereopticon views. The
method of instruction was by con-
trast. A series of views OF the mag
niicent roads of Switzerland, France
or Sweden was followed by views of
the ordinary dirt road of this coun-
try, all too familiar to every man in
the audience. The lecturer stated
that during the eight months of the
year when North Carolina roads are
at their best, two thousand-pound
load is about an average one for two
horses, but in the bad season it is
reduced to about one thousand;
while on a good McAdam road the
averageloadi lie four thousand pounds
for two horses. He had himself seen
a pair of Clydesdale horses draw
easily seven thousand pound load
on such a road in New Jersey. The
movement for good roads in America
is most advanced in New Jersey and
Massachusetts. In the latter State
the last Legislature voluntarily
offered the road commission $500.
900 for the Improvement of theroads
in one year. Some progress has
been made in North Carolina, with
Mecklenburg county in the lead.
Indeed, the Professor rather suspect
ed that the Mecklenburg Declare ton
had some ground for jealousy in the
growing pride of the county in its
system of graded McAdam roads.
He mentioned also in this connection
Wake and Craven"

BUILDING UP THE SOUTH.

"A deeper interest in the develop
ment of the South on the trans con-
tinental railroad companies is noted
by the Jacksonville (Fla.) Citizen.
1t says: ''There own interests are
being interviewer with those of the
South. Special rates and arrange
ments intended to encourage pros
pecting through and immigration to
the South from the Northwestern
and Central States become more and
more general and effective every
year. The Southern territory is vast
and alluring. The low price of land
is among it's attractions, but the
day is not far distant when prices
will adyance.o
