FINE POULTRY.
Union Piont Poultry Yards, New
Berne, N. c., Supplied With
Fine Stock.


From a recent issue Of the New Berne
Co'Tier We take the following in reference
to the Union Point Poultry Yards, of
that city, an advertisement of which APP
pears in this paper. The junior member
of the firm is our young friend Mr.. Fred
&. Mitchell, late of Henderson. The
Courier says:
\ Courier reporter yesterday visited the
Union Point Poultry Yards, Ellis 4
Mitchell, prOprietOrs, and saw what was
in some particulars IL finer display of fine
breeds than was even exhibited at the
recent fair. The arrangement of the
yard was made after much care and
thought had been expended and will serve
as Il model for the most pretentiOus
breeder. The place is admirable, each
breed being separated from the rest.
In yard number one is kept the Black
Langshans, the cock being so tall that
he easily eats corn Off the top of a barrel
the rooster, OF course, standing on the
ground. In number two is found Splen-
did lot of Partridge COchins b. 4. Fox,
the we'll known breeder and poultry Judge,
OF Richmond, Va, says this is the best

/ lIna-;tnd he competent to speak. White
| Plymouth Rocks are luXurating in num-
| Der three. These three breeds are espe-
claily notable for their immense size and
| truly beautiful appearance. Number
| four contains n number of our native
| Partridge Cochins, though in size and
! quality they do not compare with num-
| Der two and three.
When biddies are quite young and
| foolish they are kept with their cackling
mothers in number five Grass is album
dent here and the way the young ones
scratch is Indicative OF their splendid
| health.
The shipping department is confined
to yard number six. Pure White Wyan-
dOttes beautify yard number seven This
breed is an especially good layer and en-
| Joys a vigorous health Number eight
contains q cOal-bIack breed called Indian
Games-a medium size hen but very pro-
life. Black Minorcas are found in mum,
Der nine This chicken is without a doubt
one OF the prettlest, prOudest fowls on
earth Number ten is full of Black Coch-
ms and number eleven contains the re-
liable Plymouth Rocks, the best all-round
chickens in existence. Light Brahmas
adOrn number twelve. They are hand
some and unusually large. Barred
| plymouth Rocks are in number thirteen
The Union Point Yard is equal in point
OF equipment, facilities for breeding and
shipping in good order to any yard in
North Carolina. In fact, in many res
poets, the yard is better appointed than
many whose owners are more pretentious
Their business grows larger each day and
the owners contemplate putting in ar

Few people, especially it the South,
have the same opinion Of Senator
David b. Hill that they had a few
months ago. His position on the tariff
question has put him far back with the
people generally.
He made Southern tour few years

Poultry Notes.

Carelessness in little details will
soon show in the conditions and pro-
ductiveness of the fowls.
If the poult try are to be left confined
especial care must be given to cleanll-
ness.
With chickens more especially, the
question Of breed must be determined
by the fancy of the person.
In confinement greater variety is
needed than when given a good range,
but good care must be taken not to
over feed.
Use all reasonable care to keep the
poultry house dry, as a damp house
is productive of the roup and many
other diseases to which poultry are
subject.
\ cross of Wyandotte and Plymouth
Rock. or Brahma or Cochin hens makes
a good com binaton for early broilers
for market.
Because others have failed in the
poultry business is no reason you
should, provided you are willing to give
the fowls proper care and attention.
When the fowls are confined, one OF
the best means of afiording exercise i.
to put straw or coarse litter on the
floor and feed small grain upon it
In nearly all cases in tattening
geese for market the work can be done
faster and better if they are given q
cooked ration at least once day, anC
twice a day will be still better.
SCATTERING ir-Slaked lime over the
floor of the poultry house will aid ma
terially i'll keeping the air dry, pure
and wholesome, while at the same time
it will destroy all lice in which it come:
| in contact.
While there is no question but thai
many who keep poultry fail to receive
the profit they should, yet they keel
right on in the same way of manage
ment year after year.

national but world wide in its moral
teaching, could be possibly taken.
The North and the South have at least
a common interest in upholding the
standards of rectitude and virtue
among their public men. The Beecher
scandal was not Northern, nor is the
Breckenridge scandal Southern
matter. All such disgraceiul exposures
OF men of the widest national reputa-
ton, prestige and influence are national
msfortunes. Aud it is of the first
national importance that common
American sentiment should support
the demand that must be everywhere
made that American leaders shall be
worthy of their position as such.
This whole case is full of the saddest
suggestions. It's trial has been a vast
misfortune because OF the harm done
by the inevitable publicity given to
It's unwholesome details. Meantime
there is some satisfaction in knowing
that, as a result Of this demoralizing
suit, it is clearly established that,
before Southern jury and at the bar
cf Southern public opinion at least, no
public man can plead in excuse of
fragrant immortality that he has only
done what many other great men of
the past did or that he was too weak
to withstand the arts of a tempting
woman to whom he was old enough to
be father and hope to have his pleas
accepted.

A ITS DEBTS.

Helena has begun to organize schemes
for legislation at the coming session Of
the legislature. 1t can be said that the
first one that it talks Of springing is
quite a laudable one, for the proposition
is to secure an amendment to its charter
that will enable the city to borrow money
with which to pay it's vast debts. As is
we'll known the city is hopelessly bank
rupt, and in order to temporarily save its
credit and stave off the inevitable it will
ask for a law by which it can increase
the limits Of it's indebtedness and also
increase the rate Of taxation. 1t is in q
desperate condition and the legislature
should give it the chance asked. This is
a matter that only affects that commu.
nifty, but all other legislation that Hell.
ens asks should and will be very closely
scrutinized. The people OF that city ano
the Northern Pacific will do all in theiI
power to get back what they expended
in debauching voters during the capita
contest. and they will try to do it b,
schemes that the legislature will b
asked to sanction. Keep your eye OF
the gang.

AS TO SILVER.

The cause of silver is looking brighter
and brighter every day. The feeling is
becoming universal that free coinage
must be the issue, and the winning issue,
in 1896. Its friends are alert, sggress-
i've, and defiant, and it's enemies are
seeking by subterfuges to avoid a fair
contest. The republicans have become
alarmed at the sentiment Of the people
and it is authoritatively stated that a
movement exists among the leading sill
YER men of the country that an emphatic
demand shall be made that the republic
an platform in 1896 shall contain an un'
e~quivocal declaration in favor Of unqual.
flied free coinage Of silver, and in the
event Of the failure Of republicans 30 to
declare a new party movement shall
forthwith be sprung with a two-planl
platform declaring simply for protection
and free coinage Of silver.
This is the republican side and Their
is no doubt but that the demand will b
made and rejected, for the republican,
dare not make a free coinage campaign
even when coupled with protection. d
the other hand the democratic party a
a party, in spite Of Mr.. Cleveland, favo
free coinage and will have 1t as an un
equivocal plank in the platform, and tn
! free silver republicans will have no re
fuQe but to join with the democrats.
On the other hand those who oppos
free coinage, but are anxious In som
way to secure recognition for silver, al
not idle. They do not want 1t 10 . none

FOREIGN CORPORATIONS.

Only a few days ago all the Helena pa
pers we're loud in their protests against
any foreign corporation doing business
in Montana. They succeeded in con-
vincing many people-even w. A. Clark
of Butte-that foreign capital was a
menace to the we'll being Of the state,
for even as they proclaimed the doctrine
in the press MI. Clark proclaimed it
from the stump. Now, however, the
election is over and the tune Of the
cheerful liars is changed, The Helena
Herald OF Monday contains a jubilant
article a column long regarding the sale
Of a mining property near Dillon to an
English syndicate. Instead of asking
the people Of the state to rise up in re.
bellion and save Dillon from the clutches
of a grasping foreign corporation the
Herald is loud in it's congratulations thai
the deal has been accomplished. YET
the rot about "foreign corporations
helped Helena get the capital.

for governors was defeated, the only man
on his ticket who failed, because he was
believed to be corrupt. The leading
republican journal Of that state, the
Omaha Bee, denounced his nomination
as n unfit to be made. 1t exposed his
bad character, and the people rejected
him-one of the many public services
rendered this year by an honest and
fearless press.
"These three crumbs Of comfort prove
that local reasons for success often over
come a general tendency towards defeat.
The voters do not stay at home when
there is a sufficient inducement for them
to come out. They do not go against
their party when it challenges their
support by candidates and a policy
clearly in their interest"
The World might have added that in
Montana the Northern Pacific and a
band of eastern sharks succeeded in de-
festing the will Of the people, and that
the great corporation with it's immense
land grant will soon have the people Of
the state at its mercy to a more alarm
ing extent than the Southern Pacific has
ever had California.

EXPLAINING,

Among the papers in the east which
persistently cried out against democratic
Encouragement one Of the most con-
spicuous was the New York World, yet
it sees nothing in the result to alarm n
democrat. This is the way the World
puts it:
"Some of our republican friends who
are more given to shouting than to
thinking are still hilarious over the enor-
nous maiorities obtained by their party
in the late elections.
"They overlook the truth that the
larger the maJorities the more certain 1t
is that the result is not a party triumph.
A scant majority on a full vote would
show an increase of republican strength.
A great majority on a scant vote shows
simply the absence from the polls of
more democratic than republican voters.
1.-The refusal of democrats in vast
numbers to vote is a distinct rebuke to
their party management. 1t was in
tended. it was intelligent. it was de-
served. But it did not mean that the
dissatisfied democrats are republicans.
The greater the majority, the clearer the
proof.
Another point which evidently has
not occurred to the unthinking shouters
is in connection with republican gains
at the south. The fact that severa
Southern states have been carried
against the democrats-some Of them by
republicans-proves that the belateo
bloody shirt shakers have either misrep
resented the facts or talked ignorantl!
in saying that there are not fair cleo
tions at the south-that the negroes ar
intimidated or the votes mlscounted
Tennessee, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, West Virginia, Missouri, Marylan'
and Texas prove that the solidity of tn
south depends upon the free will Of tn
southern voters, white and black. 1t
just as we'll to stick a pin in these point
in passing.

If Tom Couch had not decided to leave

of Sanders, it is the field against Mantle,
and the field has on its side as aidere

that the main object will be lost sight Of
