LOCATION OF THE HoP-YARD.

The hop-yard should be located in
1.-The open" where there is always a
free circulation of air and where the
vines may have plenty of sunshine. 1t
is desirable that the spot chosen be
protected by hill or forest against the
cold north and northwest winds and in
a locality known to be free from late
spring and early autumn frosts and
not subject to heavy fogs in summer
time. The healthiest yards are usually
found on the uplands but hilltops
should be avoided, says the Hop
GTOtUers' Journal.
When placed in situations that are
exposed to high winds they are likely
to be damaged more or less every year
by the blowing down of poles and the
beating or whipping of the fruit bear
ing arms which are tender and brittle
and easily broken. Steep hiIlsides,
narrow or inclosed valleys, very stony
land and low, fat and wet lands are to
be avoided. Experience and observa-
ton prompt the selection of elevated
or table lands somewhat undulating,
with inclinations sufficient to prevent
the water from standing upon them at
any time. If the yard be located on a
hillside it should be so laid out and fur
rowed or terraced as to prevent the
washing of the soil. The soil best
adapted to the hop is undoubtedly a
sandy loan and the deeper the better,
as hop roots penetrate to a greater
depth than do the roots of any other
cultivated plant. A clayey loan, if
not too stiffn liable to bake, is a good
soil for hops. In a general way it may
be said that any land that will produce
good wheat and corn is good hop land.
In localities where the soil and eli
mate are just right, the hop-yard may
be continued on the same ground for
centuries. In one instance a hop yard
has been cultivated on the same land
for three hundred years and the yield
and quality are both as good as at the
beginning.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT GROWING
HEALTHIER.

In the South there are signs of a
healthier state of political morals.
Ballot box stufing and many other
outrages are no longer theproper thing.
Moderately good men once tolerated
such things and we're led to believethat
it was necessary in some localities. In
saying this we are not Influenced by
the course of the Richmond Times and
other gold bug papers. They are simply
making what they believe to be a shrewd
flank movement for the purpose Of
rounding up the voters" with the
hope of fooling the people again. These
same papers endorse the demonetiza-
ton of silver and the issue of bonds.
People who do that are not sincere in
their cry for honest elections. And in
this connection we wish to warn the
people against another class of papers
(railroad organs) They are crIticizing
the administration, bowling calamity,
and protesting to favor bi metallism.
Don't be led astray by them. They
will fill their columns with profuse
praise for gold bug Congressional and
legislative candidates before the year
closes.
The great masses are growing more
honest in political matters. They see
now that a government of, by and for
ballot Oox rogues is not what they
want. New York and New Jersey
have been the great national incuba-
tors for Matching out schemes to carry
the election whichever way it suited
the bosses in every election. But it
has gonefrom bad to worse, and public
sentiment is against such fraud. 1t is
now possible to convict and punish
election rogues there as easily, at least,
as it is to punish public highwaymen.
In Michigan the political morals are
growing better. Several prominent
men have been dismissed from govern
ment service for ballot stealing.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
DID 1T.

The Kinston Free Press and the
Charlotte Observer are not put down
in the di ectory as favoring govern
ment ownership of railroads or any of
the effective and substantial reforms
necessary to put the country on it's
feet again and give something like
equal rights to all. However. both
papers thoughtlessly give utterance to
some mighty good argumentative doc
trine at times. We quote the following
from the Charlotte Observer of the
25th ult.
''The Kinston Free Press asks if If
does not look strange that the Atlantic
6 North Carolina Railroad. that used
to be about the poorest In the State is
the only one In North Carolina thar
paid a dividend last yearG' It does
indeed. 1t is a line of about 100 miles
set off to itself. 1t has to accomodate
its connections, if it has any. to the
convenience of other roads. and ia at

APPLAUSE NOT ALLOWED.

On last Wednesday, Congressman
Cannon, of Illinois, read the text of a
coinage bill which he says he will in
troduce IF the House with it's "a ma
jority ever pulls itself together so as to
vote for anything of the kind" When
he finished reading, the crowd in the
galleries applauded vigorously. The
Speaker of the House notified the audi
dence that if the applause continued
he would have the rules enforced and
the doors closed. 1t has come to pass
that the American people are not
allowed to applaud an honest sentiment
in the Capitol at Washington.

which seem to be sustained by evidenc, ;.
the figures of many county returns
were changed so as to make it appear
that the amendment was ratified, when
in fact, the actual vote showed that it
was rejected. 1t has been apparently
proved that in Wayne county, which
contains the city of Detroit, the figure
81" was inserted before the number of
votes in favor of the amendment in
several precincts, thereby increasing
it by 100. The suspended officials are
fighting against absolute removal h,,t
they and several other public officers
connected with the alleged frauds have
been indicted by the Grand ,Jnrv Of

Your Uncle Grover stands in with
the negroes with the uncommon name
of Smith. He appointed Fl. @. Smith,
colored, of Birmingham, Ala, Consul
to Santos, Brazil, some months ago.
Smith has arrived there and the first
thing he did was to get into a row in a
white barber shop because the barber
drew the color line. We see it stated
that E. E. Smith, of Goldsboro, has
been re appointed Minister to Liberia.

IT'S MISSION HAS NOT ENDED.

Now and then some over Jealous
brother claims that the mission Of the
Alliance has ended; that its york is
done. This mistake is entirely too
common. The mission of the Alliance
is to educate, to create good feeling be-
tween man and man, to make us better
mentally, morally and financially. To
learn us how to cooperate and help
one another.
The politician is glad to hear that
''the mission of the Alliance Is
ended" HI wishes it were true.
His path would be strewn with
flowers once more, with nobody
to watch him, nobody to call a
halt. He can more easily betray his
constituents in conventions and legisla-
tive halls. No, its work is not done.
If there ever was good cause for the
organization of the Alliance it slill ex
lists. The battle has only begun. The
traitors who have left the Alliance will
never be with it az ain; they are not
wanted. But the great common people
will gradually come back, are coming
b 1ck and the Order will continue to I'LL
the space intended for it.

Representatives of the trust are filling

that such combinations are beneficial

grower is to put his product on the

Congressman Jerry Simpson is doing
a good deal toward earning his salary
by exposing the tricksters in that body
and putting them on record. They got

Jerry quietly waited until they all

North Carolina has honest judges,
lawyers and juries, but in some local.
ties justice, as administered, is a mere
farce.
We recently read a little book pub,
lished by Mrs. Pattie Arlington, of
Nash county, who is well known in
Raleigh and all the central portion of
the State. The title, us Justice a
Farce9" seems quite appropriate. In
this book Mrs. Arlington, formerly
Miss Freeman, tells the story of her
life. She was educated at the best
colleges in the State, and fell heir to
property worth from $50, 900 to $50, 900.
She married in Nash county and set
tltd on her own farm, a valuable one.
Her husband treated her most shame
fully. After living with the man nearly
eleven years, during which time five
children we're born, Mrs. Arlington left
her husband. She went to Illinois, tax
Ing the children with her. After resid-
ing there a year Or two she obtained a
divorce, came back to this State and
entered suit for the possession of her
property, which was held by her late
husband. Arlington fought the suit
some years on the ground that the
divorce vas not legal. Finally the
courts of this State, Supreme Court in
cluded, legalized the divorce. This
should have given the lady possession
Of her property, but in some way Ar
rington, through his lawyers, kept
throwing obstacles in the way. On
various pretenses the cases were car
ried from court to court. Nash, Frank
lin, Vance, Wake, Wayne and other
county Superior Courts all came in for
a share. Now and then the Supreme
Court would take a tussel with the
case. Some of the best known judges
and lawyers in the State have figured
In the case time and again. Some of
their ways were dark and mysterious.
The book giving all these particulars,
many letters, etc is as interesting as
the most thrilling novel, and yet is
based on facts.
A few months ago Mrs. Arlington
again won the case in Vance county
Superior Court. 1t was appealed to
the Supreme Court, as usual, and after
trying to get her rights for twenty
years, her own property, which she
needed to live upon and support and
educate her five children, Mrs. AIRING
ton Is still struggling for possession.
Many black and dirty tricks were
resorted to in this case, some almost
inhuman. 1t also has a funny side.

HOP GROWING IN NORTH CARO-.

from a recent issue of the Hop GroWers'
