COXEY'S ARMY.

The universal question is "where is
Coxey's army7 How many men are in
itY" A small army of newspaper re
porters are with the gang, but they
can't supply information fast enough
to satisfy the public appetite.
The main division, under Coxey, is
now in the mountains of Pennsylvania.
The snowstorm stopped their prog
ress. Four or five hundred men are
with Coxey. Other divisions are on
the way from the South, from Cali,
fornia and f, ON Boston. Probably
several thousand altogether. Mem,
bers of the ''army" have been arrested
at various points to brighten others
who contemplate joining. The author,
tiles at Washington fear trouble and
are preparing to give the ''army" a
warm reception.
This is no longer a matter to be
joked about. The number of men en-
listed in this expedition is comparative,
~ small. Many who are in sympathy
cannot join 1T. Others would ioin b11t
they fear arrest and ridicule. But think
of it, '"The land of the free and home
of the brave" and yet an army of re
spectable, industrious men are march

CREAM SEPARATORS.

We take pleasure in calling the atten-
ton of such of our readers as may
have any interest in that connection to
the new 1894 advertisement of the De
Laval Cream Separators, which ap-
pears in another column.
We are not competent of course to
compare the merits of different ma
chimes, but there can be no question
that the De Laval is tried and proven.
They have been in use and subjected
to tests continually at nearly all of our
State Experiment Stations and Agri
cultural Colleges now for a couple of
years, and all these authorities seem to
join in hearty endorsement of them
both scientifically and mechanically.
The De Laval is Of Swedish origin, and
is made and useu in every country in
which dairying is practiced. 1t is said
that there are now some 60 600 Of the
De Laval machines in use.

ton. These men are not professional
tramps, if ~plutocracy's newspapers DO
80 designate them. Yet every man
who labors deserves a good living, and
they are not getting it. The reception
given the men all along the line OF
travel shows the temper Of the people.
Food, clothing and even money is
forthcoming. Great crowds of citizens
and ladies meet and escort them into
every town and city. The farmers
haul food and place it at their dis
posal. Even railroad employees are in
sympathy and give the ''army" q lift
by hauling them free. In fact the
"army" sometimes gets on a train with
out tickets and stay on as long as they
please. A few days ago a train OF
twenty five cars packed full OF men
left Utah for Washington. They had
neither tickets nor passes. 1t is a sad
condition of affairs and an everlasting
shame.

Kings Handbook of New York City.
planned, edited and published by Moses
King, Boston, price 50, IS the most in
teresting book of it's class we have ever
examined. 1t contains more than /, coo
handsome pages illustrated with 900
originOl illustrations direct from photo
graphs and is claimed to be the most
costly, most thorough, most attractive
history and description ever made for
popular sale either of New York or anv
other city, and at the price is a marvel
of cheapness. New York having SO
much to do with. in other words, ex
erting such vast influence upon all
parts of our country, 50 powerful in
politics as well as other things, should
be better known and more thoroughly
understood by all our pc pie than it is.
Mr.. King seems to have acclimated him
self and thoroughly ingratiated him
self into the heart of the city's varied
industries, and all kinds of societies and
associations, aud has given us a book
up to the times, which should, by all
means, be placed in every public if not
every private library in the land.

STATE AID FOR HIGHER EDUCA-
TON.

Mr.. EDITOR:-A great deal is being
written and said about State aid for
higher education, but I have not seen
one article, except President Winston's,
favoring it; neither have 1 heard any
man defend the system save those of
the newspaper fraternity. Our editors
are human, therefore are not infalible
they make mistakes, a great many of
them, SO do l.. | cannot endorse all |
see in THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER. or
the church paper that I read, but l
have no quarrel with the editors.
I am opposed to higher education by
taxation. 1t is a discrimination in
favor of a certain class who are able to
pay for their education either now OF
hereafter. Some Of the most eminent
divines in this State secured their edu-
cation on credit and atterward paid
the debt, so it is with some of our
ablest lawyers, and one of our State
officers. If a young man is not able to
pay the money down, let him give the
institution a note payable after a
reasonable length of time after his
course is completed. If he is a gentle
man, he will fulfill its requirements. If
he is unwilling to give his note. he

Speaking of the harm done in the
country around Raleigh by the late

'blackberries are not killed" That's
one easOn why we tie to the black
berry. 1t is rarely if ever killed. 1t
is n of the few plants which knows
when it is time to start up business,
and neve takes any chances on the
weather. In this respect it can give

1T IS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY
NOW.

In a letter dated March goth, 1892,
Col. Polk said: Throughout the agri
cultural States South, West and North
west where, a few years ago, were the
happiest, best contented, most prosper
Gus and most independent people on
the habitable globe, possessed of the
most princely heritage which God ever
vouchsafed to man, now detection, de
preston, suffering and poverty hang
like a pail of night, and they are prac
tically no more than a respectable class
of tenants whose earnings, under in
~iquitous laws, are appropriated by the
money power of the country. They
would be less than human if they did
not complain, more than human if they
did nothing but complain"

sbould be permitted to do without his
education. Certain it is he is not an
worthy object of taxation. An educa-
ton that is given TO a young man
without money and without price,
encourages Incidence, and cannot be
properly appreciated.
The University gives free tuition to
the sons of all ministers, and to those
studying for the ministry, which is a
phase of a union of church and State.
Chapel Hill is, by the aid of the State,
doing the very work that the denom-
national colleges are expected to do,
and without cost to the tax payers.
Roman Catholics are in favor OF a
union of church and State, with tenn
poral power vested in the Pope at
Rome, but Protestants never.
At the close of this year, 1894, over
5000, 900 will have been used since the
adjournment of the legislature, for edu-
cational purposes, which should have
been appropriated to the common
schools all over our State for the bene-
fit of its poor children.
President Winston, in the Recorder
of April 4th, says: Last summe my
clerk distributed %, 900 catalogues, Cir
culars and pamphlets (all printed) in
North Carolina, Virginia, South Caro-
lima and Tennessee. = = = About
10, 900 went to pupils in schools and
colleges. ordered them sent
to all. I neither expected % desired
to entice students from other colleges"
Further on he says: My purpose was
to advertise our professional schools
and graduate courses" If he neither
expected nor desired to entice students
from other colleges" what in the name
of common sense did he want to adver-
tise among them for? He is a peculiar
business man to distribute 10, 600 cata-
logues, circulars and pamphlets among
the students of other colleges, and
neither expecting nor desiring any re-
turns. The tax payers Of North Caro-
lima cannot afford such reckless expen-
ditures, paying for this printed matter
ana nothing less than 800 postage and
not expecting nor desiring n single
student as a result.
Our UNCONVENTIONAL colleges will
look after the higher education of
every young man in our State if per
mitted to do so by the State.
Give Wake Forest to understand
that 5 900 young men will be here at
the beginning of next session, and she
will make arrangements for them. I
believe the Lord would put 5000, 600
bricks in that campus and 100 work
men to place them in the walls if the
necessity should arise.
Appropriate all the money you can
to the common schools and let the Uni
versity and Normal at Greensboro de
pend upon their friends for a support.

A IN PIANOS.

1t seems like the work of a miracle
to bring a beautiful piano to your home
and let you test it at your leisure; and
more miraculous still to make the price
so low that it is not a hardship to buy
it. The old reliable Marchal & Smith
Piano Co., of 295 East 21st St., New
York, have worked this miracle in
homes all over our land. 1t certainly
is a wonder that such beautiful pianos
are sold at 30 low a price.

FREAK.

Ayoung man living in this city.
clerk in a store on Fayetteville street,
has had some queer experiences. He
has shed his skin entirely thirteen
times in twenty four years. and each
time it has been replaced by a new
skin. Before the shedding the body
turns red and he has symptoms of
scarlet fever. When IA years of age
he shed his skin twice In one month.
The change usually occupies about two
weeks. The new skin replacing the old
is usually so tender that it is impossi-
BILE for him to walk on a carpet or
rough floor. At times his finger nails
and his hair have come out, and they
have been replaced by the new in a
short time. He has been able at times
to break the skin in the palm of the
hand and blow up the skin of the arm
like a balloon, showing that it was
thoroughly loose from the new forma-
ton. He has with his own hands re-
moved. a piece of skin from a leg be-
tween the kneecap and thigh as large
almost as the front of a'vest.
This may be regarded as a fish story,
but it is vouched for by the gentleman
himself and others as well. 1t is a
curious case. There is nothing re-
markable in his appearance when the
shedding season is not on, and he has
very good health all the time.

R.-"Hold up there. You can't get
puffs from the newspapers for nothing.
Even Cleveland had to pay for the
puffs he got during the last campaign.
Certain newspapers in the South posi-
lively refused to puff a single puff until
the Doodle was put up, and then they
began to talk about his backbone being
as large as a telegraph-pole' and that
he was rigidly honest, and all that.
Plutocracy knows how to get there.
They form monopolies and trusts to
rob the people, put on all the traffic
will bear, as it were, and after getting
the money they al put his satanic
majesty up for President or for Con-
gress and hire the newspapers to laud
them to the skies. A very large num-
Der of the 'puffs' for men and various
business concerns you read in the daily
papers are paid for at so much a puff"

Betsy says the Populists will take awl
the Demokrats an Republicans who
will wash their Eases an renounce the

JOURNALISM AND sCoUNRELIsN

JOURNALISM AND SCOUNRELISM
The many Arizona readers of the San
Francisco Examiner were amazed at
finding in last Thursdays issue of that
paper an article covering an entire page,
devoted to booming the infamous Peral-
ta-Reavis grant. 1t has been known for
some months that the claimants of
"The Barony of Arizona" were offering
for sale tracts Of land within the limits
of their so-called grant; but it was not
believed that any one had been or
could be imposed upon by SO transpar-
ent and easily discredited swindle.
The unexpected article in the Era-
miner puts new phase on the situation.
That journal has such extended circula-
ton and influence, and has such high
reputation for integrity and intelli-
gsnce, that it's unqualified endorsement
of the Psralta-R eavis claim cannot but
delude few and discourage many in
tending investors in Arizona properties
and work incalculable injury to every
business interest of our territory.
The Examiner says:
The property has been in litigation for some
years, but in November last the United States
court of private land claims finally determined
the exact boundaries of the estate, and thereby
practically sealed Mrs. Peralta-Reavis' claims.
A clear title to any or all of the property is
thereby assured.
There are few individual properties in New
