A Bit Of Political History.

From the Savannah News.
The result of the Grant-Greeley
campaign was that Grant carried all
but six of the thirty-seven States.
The House that was elected at that
time was composed of ninety-four
Democrats and .'libcral Republican"
and 1913 Republicans. The Republi-
cans had more than Uwo-thirds of the
whole numbec of members. Two
years later the Democrats elected
1873 members to 1O4 for the Repub-
licans. This is a bit of political his
tory that is not without it's applica-
ton at present.

More Attention to Stock Raising

From the Wilmington Start
The low and continuously declin-
ing price of cotton has put good
many planters to thinking, and some
to abandoning cotton altogether
until it shows an Improvement in
prices. In Alabama some have
turned their attention to stock-rais-
ing. One of these, a DR.. Gary, OF
Selma, who owns a large body OF
land, which he had been cultiyating
in cotton, writes the Selma Times:
81 have 400 acres in meililotus on
nv plantation-the fineat pasturage
that the world ever saw-and it will
support my stock nearly all the year.
This mellilotus fiourishes best on the
bare lime rock, where all the soil has
been washed away, and it builds up
land faster than anything you ever
saw. Yes, sir. in a few more years
will have my negroes raising their
own meat, mules and corn and there
won't ba such a necessity for plant
ing cotton" We reproduce this be
cause of the high recommendation
given to mellilotus, in which there is
a mine of wealth for the South, if
one-half what he says about it be
true. 1t should thrive as well in
| North Carolina as in Alabama. and
| if it takes hold Of and thrives on
poor land, as he says it does, it is
| the very thing for the worn out lands,
or '.old feds as they are called, OF
| which there are thousands upon
| thousands of acres in this State,
land once good, but ruined by bad
treatment. More grass, clover, peas,
| ETC., and less cotton should be the
maxim with Southern cotton
| planters.

WANT MOOMAW SPRING.

The Gas and Water Company Withdraws
One Obnoxious Proposition to Introduce
Another.
Tho Roanoke Gas and Water COMPANY
is not yet satisfied with withdrawing the
obnoxious proposition introduced in the
general asse mbly authorizing that com
pany to institute condemnation proceed
ings for acquisition of springs, water and
lands for it's uses. 1t now asks the
legislature to authorize it to institute
condemnation proceedings to acquire
the Moomaw spring, or, more properly
speaking. the lands of the Virginia Land
Company, upon which that spring is
located.
John Engleby, president of the vir-
glnla Land Company, received tele-
gram yesterday afternoon from D. c.
Moomaw, who was in Richmond, in
forming him that the Gas and Water
Company had Withdrawn the portion OF
the bill which was Objectionable to the
City Council, and asked by way of sub
stitute that the above provision be in.
serted. MIR. Engleby was requested in
the telegram to call y mass meeting of
the citizens to oppose the measure.
Members Of Council were immedi-
ately informed of the turn in the mat
ter and the city solicitor, who is in
Richmond, was instructed by wire to in
form the Council as to what steps were
being taken, and to oppose the measure
1t is quite likely that if the Gas and
Water Company attempts to force the
passage of the bill as amended, the
Council will send a committee to Rich.
mond to oppose it.
The passage of such measure as
this would be equally as bad as tho one
to which Council raised objections, as
this is the only other supply OF water in
or around the city not owned by the
present water COMPANY

THE TINES presents this morning
what will be seen to be very clear
and concise statement Of the affairs in
the political circles of this city as
they now appear. While the NUM-
cipal election is some distance ahead 1t
is plainly evident that the voters, as
well as the possible candidates,
are taking lively interest in
the situation as it is to-day and will
thus be better prepared to meet the
possible complications that will un-
doubleday arise later. The action of the
Democratic executive committee will
be awaited with interest and upon their
course will hinge many of the perplex-
ing questions that are now before the
politicians.

THE greed of the Gas and Water Com
pany has descended from geBeralities to
particulars, if we are correctly informed
OF the now turn that companys repre-
sentatives at Richmond have taken in
their request for new charter. In
stead Of asking that they be au-
thorized to proc=ed by the con-
domination code to acquire all lands
or springs or sources Of water supply
that they may need, they have SO
amended their request that the right
may be given them to thus acquire the
Moomaw spring, which is acknowledged
to be the only other available wat r
supply of any value near the city. The
amendment is as vicious in principle as
the original proposition, and deserves
as righteous condemnation from the
people.

A correspondent at Warrington says that
an attempt is to be made by certain rail-
ways to secure from congress the repeal
of the so-called "car-coupler law" which
was signed by President Harrison, March
2, 1893
This measure was esisned 20 mitigate
the wauton and Wholesale sacrifice of the
lives Of employees on the iron roads Of the
country. IT requires that by July, 1898, all
freight trains shall be equipped with auto
locomotives with wheel brakes Some OF
the railways. Directing TO the expense,
fought the bill bitterly when 1t was be
fore congress. After its passage they
tried their best TO secure a veto, and now
they will make an effort to have 1t de-
clared null
They are not likely TO succeed, because
1t Is n fact well recognized that 10 per cent
of the deaths and 70 per cent of the non
fatal hurts suffered by railway employees
are due to the lack of automatic train
brakes and automatic coupl7rs. what an
enormous number of avodablc casualties is
thus represented may be judged when II is
stated that every year on the railroads of
the United States 5000 workers engaged
in the business Of transportation are Killed
and 5000 are injured In 1899 more rail
way employees were killed In this country
