Gardiner Reporter Journal; \ gentle
man in Browntald, - years of age 9nd
hale and hearty, tells the Oxford County
Advertiser that h. attributes his remark
able preservation and uniform good
health largely to the fact that he
has never had any OF the ncW-fanglcd
notions called stoves, OF any kind. in his
house. 1t may be a question whether
his good is due to that or that is due to
his good health. \ man must he in ro-
bust health to live Thai long with only
fireplaces, particularly if he cut the

The Southern Outlook.
Philadelphia Times. ]


The Southern States have every
thing in their favor. They have an
abundance of fertile lands Tor farms;
they have valuable mines of every
kind and easy of development; they
have already a few of the many
factories and mills which should dot
the entire South; they have a de-
lightful climate; they have abundant
water power, and have today the
largest iron, coal and lumber fields
of the country. If the work
shall be thoroughly performed a very
few years will see Southern. indus
tries greatly quickened by large
tide of immigration from foreign
countries and from the Northern
States. We have surplus labor in
the North, and it now finds little en-
couragement to go West to engage
in farming; but with the extraordi-
nary opportunities offered in the
South for industrial classes of every
kind, the time must be near at hand
Wien both the South and our in
dustrious people generally of the
North must be mutually benefited by
the better division of our people il.
the great productive Industries of
the field, the mill, the mine and the
forest.

The State HORTICULTURE, Society.

The 14th annual meeting of the
State Horticultural Society will be
held in Raleigh, October 25th, at
p. m. in the Office of the North
Carolina Agricultural Experiment
Station. Papers will be read and
addresses made by prominent fruit
and truck men; election of officers
for the ensuing year and other i'm
portant business will be transacted.
A full attendance of members and of
all interested in building up tie hor-
ticultural interest of che State is
earnestly desired. The meetings of
the Society are open to all, and
every one interested in professional
or amateur horticulture is cordially
invited to attend.
Owing to the failure of the early
fruit crop this year the annual fruit
fair of the Society had to be omitted.
The State Agricultural Society has
therefore undertaken to offer special
ly generous premiums in it's horticul-
tural department., including two
premiums of $25 and $15 for the two
best exhibits made under the auspices
of the district vice presidents of the
Horticultural Society.

Free Wool.

Baltimore Sun.
Bright and cheerful are the prom
ises that come in today from the
avenues of trade Even the staid
financial writer, in his weekly sum
mary of the trade prospects, grows
''chipper" as he throws off the gloom
which hung about him during the
prevalence of the tariff debates.
Particularly are we told in the trade
circulars of the week that "the free
wool clause of the new tariff resulted
in heavy withdrawals of that staple
and renewed activity among manu-
facturers." This is a rank heresy
toward the faith of the high protec-
tiOnists. Free trade in wool oughtn' t
to work that way at all, according
to the catechism of the protectionist,
and wool has no right to behave as
it is behaving. Free trade in any
commodity ought to ruin every
factory in the land. Instead of max
ing manufactures lively it ought, ac-
cording to the reputed rules of the
game, put out the fires of industry,
spread idleness, destruction, hunger,
smallpox and hay fever broadcast.
But instead of that free wool goes
right along doing just what it's
enemies said it would not do, and all
the pretty theories are knocked out
in the first round. What is the mat
ter, anyway?

RATHER MIXED.

In the Union Republican of last
week appear the following sentences,
in two separate editorials:
"While differing on some national
issues, the Republicans and Popu-
lists cooperating are nearly a unit
as to State politics"
"We understand, and the people
understand that there is not a
shadow of difference between Demo-
Gratis and Populists, SO far as plat
form declarations and underlying
principles are concerned
Brother Goshen seems to have been
ratified" by the action of the Re-
publican State Convention and in
view of the above utterances he may
well ask himself the question: "Where
am at?''

How is Business ?
Richmond Dispatch.

Richmond Dispatch.
The general testimony is that the
settlement of the tariff question has
already commenced to work wonders;
that the crops of this State and
North Carolina are excellent; that
bank and merchants collections are
good, and that the organization of
the Southern Railway Company has
had a vastly beneficial effect through
out the South.
In nearly every line and branch the
change for the better has been
marked since the tariff bill became a
law, and while no one claims that
business has set attained it's normal
state, there is great confidence felt
that the Improvement now manifest
will continue.
In the course of a few years we be
lieve that this country will see more
prosperous trade conditions than It
has had at any time within this gen
Grafton. And in this view we are
supported by men who have had
much experience in trade, and who,
under no circumstances, would say
anything to beguile the public into
overconfidence.
Yes. better times are coming
better times for the farmer and city
man; better times for employer and
employee, and better times for ali
who have worthy enterprises which
they wish to launch.

TO COUNTY DEMOCRATS.

We would impress upon our Demo
cratic friends in the country the i'm
portance of taking action in the
township conventions next Saturday
upon the question of holding pri
maries in the county for the purpose
of giving the people the opportunity
to express their preference for United
States Senator's
The matter should not be deferred
until the meeting of the County Con-
vention. II it is SO deferred, the de-
sired action may not be taken. 1t is
a recognized fact that the most of
the talking at County Conventions
is done by the party leaders at the
centre and while we are not familiar
with the views OF these leaders upon
this question, yet it may be that a
majority of them are favorable to
Ransom and if they are like most
Ransom advocates they are opposed
to primaries.
At all events, the safest course to
be pursued by the townships desiring
to have say in selection of Senators
is to adopt resolutions requesting
the County Convention to order the
primaries. Then your wishes will
command attention and if MAORI
ty is favorable to primaries, they will
be ordered. If you are opposed to
primaries and do not wish the in
dividual voters in the party to have
any voice in choosing the Senators,
pass a resolution to that effect. Let
US have the views of a majority of
the Democrats in each township
upon this important question.

Popular Primaries.
New York Times

New I DIRK Times
This practice brings the control oil
party nominations closer to the PEG.
pie, and makes united support oil
candidates more certain after the
nominations have been made. 1t
may afford a means in a roundabout
way of getting something like a
popular choice of United States Sem
ators. If the practice adopted in
some States of having nominations
made by the State Convention should
become general, it would bring the
choice nearer to the people, but if
such nominations should be the re-
suit OF an actual vote taken at the
popular primaries, then the Senator's
elected would be the choice of a
majority of the voters of the MAORI
ty party in the State, which is the
most that a popular election
amounts to in any case.

Richmond Dispatch.l
There is a newspaper story afoat
that Miss Winnie Davis, ''beiDg in
favor of woman suffrage" has said
that ''she would vote the Republican
ticket if she had the right to do so. +"
We have it from the best authority
that this statement is false in all OF
it's particulars. Indeed such a mon
strous proposition from one of Mrs
Dayis's family would be impossible
The fact is that Miss Winnie Davis
is opposed to woman suffrage, but
were she in favor of it, she could
never contemplate joining q part
which has SO bitterly reviled her
father, to say nothing of it's hostili-
ty to our people.
The hearts and lot OF Mrs. Davis
and her children are with the South,
and the temerity of the person who
attempts to put them in any other
position is inexplicable.
