Wheat and Butter.

Correspondence of National Stockman.l
In today's market report We find
the best butter quoted at 26 cents a
pound, and the best wheat quoted
at So Ia cents for sixty pounds.
Now, of course, we cannot feed all
our wheat to the cows, as a great
many Of us find we are compelled to
sell it to get money, but by a little
contriving | think we can manage to
turn at least part of our crop into
butter. We can at least sell our
corn and feed the wheat in its place,
or else feed wheat in place of buying
| mill feed. Mill feed is now made from
the sweepings of the mill, cookie,
| screenings, and, in fact, ali the refuse
| from dirty wheat is thrown in with
the bran and ground, and then the
miller has the brazenness to charge
us more per pound for this refuse
| than he pays for prime wheat simply
because we are fools enough TO pay
| what he asks. If for the next six
months every farmer would iced
| wheat. his own if he has it, or buy il
if he has none OF his own, he would
get cheaper feed than ii he bought
mill feed; and the millers would ther
have to bring their prices down
somewhere within reason.
There is one other pointin favor o
selling our wheat III the shape o
butter. The chemists tell us when
we sell pound of butter we senC
away abs olutely no tertiliz;ng ele
ments, but when we sell tile wheat
I we lose considerable fertility with it
1t is certainly the wisest plan, then
to sell our wheat in the form OF but

The last issue of the Manufacture
ers' Record contains the following
extract from an interview with Mr..
John S. Wilson, of James Stewart q
Co., st. Louis, the contractors who
are putting up the 5O,o0o-spindle
mill at Pelzer, S. c.:
"If the times continue to improve
you will see a great movement in
this line. The wonderful possibilities
of the South are just becoming
known, or rather recognized. The
people in our country have believed
all along that the resources down
here were q figurement of the "boom-
ers," but the depression in the North
and West for the last two or three
years has caused them to investigate
more closely, and the result will be a
great tide of immigration and CAPT.
tai to nearly all the Southern
States"
1t behooves the people of the Pied
mont section of North Carolina to
have an eye upon this southwark
movement and to make proper
efforts to secure some of the benefits
to be derived therefrom. Our natur.

rHH LIFE SAVING SERVICE.

The report of the general superin.
tendent of the life saving service OF
the United States gives some inter-
esting statistics and shows that the
service is of greater value than Is
generally imagined.
The number of disasters to docu-
,nented vessels within the field OF the
operations of the service during the
wear was $50. There were on board
these vessels a, O54 persons, OF whom
o93 we're saved and 81 lost. Inc
number of ship-wrecked persons who
received succor at the stations was
65s. to whom 1 sol days relief IN
the aggregate was afforded. Inc
estimated value of the vessels in
volved in the disasters was $6,913,-
car. and that of their cargoes
s2.976,975, making a total value OF
property imperiled $9,S9O,61O. vi
this amount S7,6sS,170 was saved
81, 2O2 ,44O lost. The number o.
vessels totally lost was 81.
In addition to this, much assist
| ance was rendered to small craft and
many lives saved. The result of al
the disasters within the scope OF the
service aggregate therefore as fol
| lows: Total number of disasters
594; total value of property IN
volved, S1O,OOO,42O; total value o
property saved, $7,763,215; tota
value of property lost, $2,237,2oo
total number of persons involved

So. The total number OF ship
wrecked persons succored at tn
: stations was 65S. The cost of tn
maintenance of the service durln
the year was 81, 25s,221.

THE MESSAGE.

The Presidents message, just to
hand, is conspicuous for it's length
and we have not time to swallow
and digest it today. Lit does not
appear to be characterized by the
snap that usually marks his mes
sages. Much space is used in setting
forth and endorsing the recommen-
dations of heads of departments.
Briefly outlined the message treats
of our relations with foreign powers;
the financial question; subjects en-
braced within the several depart
ments; the tariff favoring free coal
and iron and striking out all differ
entail duty on refined sugar; re-
affirms his adherence to the idea of
civil service reform; declares the
recent bond issue a necessity and
emphasizes our defective financiering
system, declaring the need OF a more
elastic currency.
The notwithstanding portion of the
message, perhaps, to the people of
this section is the concluding remarks
upon State Bank circulation and tax
exemption, the President approving
Secretary Carlisle's plan for modify
ing present banking laws and pro-
| viding for the issue of circulating
| notes by State banks free from tax
alton under certain limitations" in
order to prevent the concentration
of money in financial centres. This
plan provides for the exemption OF
State banks from taxation where it
is shown that they have not had
outstanding their circulating notes
exceeding rs per cent. of their paid
up and unimpaired capital; thattheir
stockholders are individually liable
| for the redemption of their circulat
| ing notes to the full extent of theil
ownership of stock; that. the liability
| of said banks upon their circulating
| notes constitutes under their State
law a first lien upon their assests
| that such banks have kept ane
maintained a guarantee fund II
United States legal-tender notes
| including Treasury notes of 1890
equal to 80 per cent. of their out

The Supreme Court of North Caro-.
lima has rendered a very important
decision with reference to Building &
Loan Associations. 1t is held that
when a mortgage is foreclosed that
a stakeholder does not forfeit his
stock and that in foreclosure
credit should be given for payments
upon stock; or, if thisi is not done and
the mortgage is satisfied from the
proceeds of a sale, the stock remains
the property of the borrower. This
appears to be a just position.

NON-PARTISAN LAWS.

Judge Walter Clark, in response to
requests, has expressed his opinion
upon the ACCESSIBILITY of changing
some of the laws now in force and OF
enacting new laws, both by the Leg
islature and Congress, in the interest
of the people-laws of non-partisan
character. Judge Clark discusses the
following subjects:
1. He thinks that 6 per cent. inter-
est is full value tor money and that
the legal rate should be fixed at this
sum.
2, He favors the adoption of a law
forbidding any public officer to re-
ceive a free pass from any transpor-
tation company or any frank from a
telegraph or telephone company.
3. He says the best interests o., the
Republic urgently require the election
of United States Senators by the
people.
A. He says the telegraph and tele-
phone should be part ofShe postal
service as it is in every other civilized
country. He argues that this has
no bearing upon the question OF gov
eminent ownership of railroads, but
is simply applying modern methods
instead of antiquated ones to the
| postal service which we already have.
5. He favors the election of post
masters by the people and says this
would have a tendency to decentral
ize and at the same time lessen the
strain OF a Presidential election. de
says we shall yet come to this, and
the sooner the better.
6. He says there will be some
change in election laws and recon-
meuds an increase in the number o
voting precincts thus bringing out 6
larger vote and saving time to thu
voters. He thinks the polls shoulC
be closed at O'Clock in the after
noon and the result announced
before sunset.
/ Z. He takes the position tina
trials for capital offences should b
simplified and makes recommends
lions looking to this result, taking
the ground that such action vii
lessen resort to lynch law.
8. He evidently thinks the lawyer
talk too much and consume to-
much time. As a way to reduc
, court expenses he says the presiding
Judge should have supervising powe
over the length of speeches b.
| counsel.
8. Lastly, he recommends Cod
f Commission for the purpose of cod
b .fying both the statute law and th
judge made law.
In concluding his letter, Judp
: Clark says: eff any of these sue
r gestions will not stand under tn
e hammer of argument, no harm wi
! have been done, simply offer theI
= as a good will Offering to a generou
people who have always been kin
to me beyond my utmost deserving.
