COMING WEST,

The Philadelphia Ree0ra and the
Atlanta Constitution have printed,
simultaneously, entire different reasons
why Vice President Adlai f. Stevenson
should be the next nominee of the
Democratic party for President.
All the reasons are sufficient to
indicate that the East and the South
are uniting in the Western opinion
that the next President of the United
States must be Western man.
He could we'll be Mr.. Stevenson. A
Kentuckian born and bred, a Mis-
sourian by nature and instinct, an
lllinoisan by association and habit,
and Texan by right of kinship with
the South, Mr.. Stevenson can easily
stand for the interests that will be
paramount in the coming national
campaign-the interests Of the West
and South, merged into those of the
North and East, whereby all sections
shall be better understood and fairly
treated.
But even if the next Presi dent
should not be Mr.. Stevenson, the Re-
bu6He is still satisfied that he will be a
Western man, and that he will run and
stand upon Western platform.-St.

THE NORTH CAROLINA PRESS,

The press is recognized power. In
the character and standing of our
editors, North Carolina has nothing
to be ashamed of. We may congrat-
ulate ourselves that we have a clean
press. Our papers generally are on
the right side of important questions.
They rarely get on the wrong side.
Sometimes they don't take sides at all.
The secular paper is primarily news
paper, but there is much it can do in
the way of improving the conditions
of life, and diffusing spirit of
progress on all proper lines. We are
in hearty sympathy with the secular
press. We scan all the papers of the
State which come to our office. Their
faces are the faces OF friends. We
often find in them things which
interest us, and items of religious
interest which we use. 1t will be
observed that more than almost any
religious paper, we quote from the
secular press, SO that the name of
nearly every paper in the State is
familiar to our readers. We do this
for two reasons-that we may give our
readers items of news, and in
recognition of the interest our secular
papers take in religious matters

WHAT KIND OF IMMIGRATION.

In an address to the students of
Randolph Macon College, Va, the
other day, Bishop Fitzgerald said ::
L" 1t will be we'll for Virginia and the
South if immigration shall not be
more rapid than assimilation. Other
portions of our beloved country have
got more than they bargained for in
this matter of immigration but they
have no remedy. They remind ME of
a saloon keeper of whom | read the
other day, whose greedy hound
swallowed stick Of dynamite but he
treated the dog with distinguished
consideration, fearing to kick him out
Of doors lest he should explode on the
spot. These anarchists and infdels
brought their dynamite with them to
this country, and the civil authorities
are afraid to touch them lest they
should thereby provoke destructive
out -break. The power of assimilation
has been overtaxed in these other
sections. Let us take warning. The
landholders OF country rule it. When
you sell the soil you sell your rulership
of this fair Southern land. There is
no nobler secular calling than that of
a gentleman farmer"

The Summer With Poultry.
farm and Fireside. l


The advantage of the summer sea-
son is that the cost Of keeping poultry
is but very little, as the larger share
can be picked up by the hens if they
are on range. The profit in summer
is fully as large as in winter, for the
hens will lay twice as many eggs in
summer as in winter, and thus COM
pensate in quantity for low prices. 1t
should be impressed on the readers not
to feed grain except sparingly, as the
hens will soon be thrown out of con-
dition by too much food when the
weather is warm. In some cases ex-
cessive heat causes very fat fowls to
succumb. With an abundant supply
of grass, seeds and insects there will
be no lack of variety. Grain should
not be given at all when the hens are
inactive. They should be made to
seek their food as much as possible,
and by so doing they will keep in bet.
ter health. They should have plenty
of fresh water, and care must be taker
not to Overcrowd them on the roosts
especially on very warm nights.

SOUTHERN farmers should remember
that the greatest stumbling block IN

The season is now at hand when the

devised to replenlsh. oman can not

regard to other articles that are not

aware of this fact, he knows that many
goods can be sold when they are
entered on the book account, and that
purchases would be few if cash was an
essential to each transaction Credit
is necessary to conduct monetary
affairs of life, but it is good rule to
use your credit as you would your

payday surely comes and too often

We are looking for better times.
As soon as the tariff bill is passed,
there will be business reaction and
millions Of dollars now locked up in
the banks will be turned loose and
seek investment, and as the South is
to-day, the most promising field of
investment in the world, much of this
money will come South and aid in
developing our resources. The more
money comes South the better it will
be for all. Agriculture will also i'm
prove. Let our farmers quit talking
about hard times but face the con-
ditions surrounding them, bravely ;
make plenty to eat, and they will
come out alright.-Warrenton Record.

THE LAW MUST BE UPHELD.

A Washington dispatch OF the gid
says:
All the members of the Cabinet
except Secretaries Carlisle and Nor
ton were present at the Cabinet meet
ing to-day. The strike situation in
the West occupied most all OF the
time, and the members of the Cabinet,
as whole, are understood to be in
thorough accord in sustaining the
President and Attorney General in the
legal steps which they have taken to
suppress disorder and bring about
resumption of interstate traffic. The
consensus of opinion was to delay, if
possible, the use of United States
troops until the terms Of injunctions
obtained in Chicago were made known
to various striking organizations.
If after that has been done disorder
and violence continue, then United
States troops will undoubtedly be used
promptly and with frmness.
CLAW will be upheld" said mem
Der of the Cabinet this morning, L" if
the entire United States land force has
to be used to accomplish it."

TEA PLANTING IN THE SOUTH.

A correspondent, writing from
Fayetteville, N. c., to the Charleston
Neaos- Courier, says fine specimens OF
American tea have been sent from
that place this season to Northern
markets, and that the results of the
sales seem to indicate that the culture
of this crop in the South may yet lead
to large fortunes. 1t is not generally
known says the correspondent, that
attempts were made to establish tea
gardens here before the war, and that
since the end of that outbreak
systematic efforts have been made to
revive the old gardens. Professor
Massey, of the State Agricultural
college, has been instrumental in
trying to spread information among
the farmers concerning the culture of
tea, and a few have been induced to
put out gardens. The tea sent from
the old Smith farm, near Fayetteville
this season brought 80 cents pound,
and some from the summerville
gardens brought as high as 81 per
pound.
Professor Massey says that the finest
tea he ever tested was grown in the
South, and he has no doubt but it will
be future profitable crop in the
Carolinas. In regard to the hardness
of the tea plant, all observers seem to
agree that north of IS degrees it is
unwise to attempt to cultivate it. The
writer says that around Old Point
Comfort, where some plants have been
growing more or less feebly for years,
the winters cut the plants badly, and
on the upper part of the Delaware
peninsular they were entirely killed.
But south of these points in the piney
woods country, extending from Raleigh
to the Gulf, tea plants can be grown
with success. Another authority reports
that the plant is being grown in
Florida. If this industry can be
successfully pushed, as it seems to be
the case from what the correspondent
ofour Charleston contemporary asserts,
then there is another source of revenue
to the South from which it may be
advantaged.-Norfolk Nyginian.

A YOUNG man who had been as
ISOLATED with us many years died last
week. He was a clerk, and men
thought OF him more as an instrument
than as the embodiment of a force
that can not die. And yet he lived
such life of meekness, purity, faith
and holiness that his memory will be
an inspiration as long as those who
knew him shall live; and in their
lives, let US hope, that inspiration will
be transmitted. The Christian example
OF William E. Pell will be potent
influence on earth when his name has
become unknown to men. A greater
Immortality, greater work can no
one seek. Truly could he say, i" thy
gentleness hath made me great"

that he had severe kidney trouble for

and also that. his bladder was affected. He
tried many so-called kidney cures but with
out any good result. About year ago he
began use of Electric Bitters and found
relief at once. Electric Bitters is especially
adapted to cure of all kidney and liver
troubles and often given almost instant
relief. One trial will prove our statement.
