HUNGRY FOR OFFICE.

The Lumberton Robesouian, CON-
menting on the probabilities as to who
would succeed the late M. E. Carter
as collector of the Western district
before the appointment of Mr.. Rogers
was announced, mentioned the name
of ex-Congressman Henderson as
having been prominently used in that
connection, and said
These ex-Senators and ex-Congress-
men are hungry Gor office <
We were present at Durham in 1890,
when Bro. H. A. London, Of the
Pittsboro Record, put Hon. B. H.
Bum in nomination as his own sue
cessor to Congress in that district. 1t
was a notable occasion, as it was also
the occasion of the annual meeting OF
the State Editorial Association, and
newspaper men were present from
every section but if any one Of them
who witnessed the enthusiasm and
adulation of Mr.. London, (for it was
a splendid speech) had ventured the
assertion that in less than three months
after the close of his Congressional
career Mr.. Bum would be successful
in a personal scramble for village
post office, Mr.. London would almost
have construed it as personal
indignity, and yet such is the case.
1t is noteworthy that no mention is
made of the names of the other retir-
ing Congressman. And we might add
that among them all no one has
retained his self-respect TO greater
degree than Hon. S. B. Alexander, of
this district He is a well-balanced :,
we'll hammered, self-respecting man,
who grew continuously upon his con-
s'i;nents. The same is probably equally
true of Grady, Branch and Crawford.
As to Bower, we're not SO well
informed, though his name has not
been connected publicly with any
scramble for Office.

BEGGING FOR TERMS.

NORFOLK, Va, May lit is possible
that the railroad war which has been
waged for some time past between the
Seaboard Air Line and the Southern
Railway and Steamship association may
soon come to an end. The latter is suing
for peace, but whether or not the terms
which will be proposed by the former will
be acceptable cannot as yet be said.
The peace ENJOYS, Messrs. T. Il. Bush
president of the Mobile and Birmingham
railroad, and w. w. Finley, commits
sioner OF the Southern States Passenger
association, were in Norfolk to-day in
consultation with Mr. E. st. John, vice
president of the Seaboard Air Line, with
reference to Il cessation of hostilities.
The exact outcome of the interview is
not known but enough has been learned
from Mr.. st. John to say that peace
overtures were made. In reply to the
overtures, the Seaboard Air Line rep
resentative stated that nothing would
be done until the boycott which had
been declared against that line had
been raised. This wa, considered by the
ENJOYS too much of q concession, but
Mr.. st. John was firm. The visitors
next wanted to know whether the freight
and passenger rates which were in effect
prior to March 1st would be restored by
the Seaboard Air Line, but received no
Definite answer.
The Seaboard Air Line has been very
determined in the fight and that they
have been somewhat successful is shown
by the above facts. 1t is thought that
the oyertures made to-day are but the
beginning OF the end, and that when the
struggle is over the Seaboard Air Line
will fly a banner with tbs word "victory"
indelibly stamped upon it.

RALEIGH'S MON U MENT UNWILLING


The Richmond Dispatch, referrin g
to the unwilling of the Confederate
monument in Raleigh next Monday,
takes occasion to speak in the follow
ing kind and complimentary manner of
North Carolina and the part her SOL
diers took in the late war:
The unwilling of the Confederate mon
ument at Raleigh on the Goth of this
month will be marked by one OF the
grandest demonstrations of its charac-
ter ever known in the history OF North
Carolina. An elaborate and most inter-
esting programmehas been arranged for
the occasion and crowds will be in atten-
dance from all over the State.
No honor the people OF North Carolina,
or for that matter, the people OF the en-
tire South, could pay the memory of
North Cardinals heroes of the Lost
Cause would be an unmerited recognition
OF their valor, devotion and patriotism.
None appreciate this more than the Viz
ginians with whom the North State
troops stood shoulder to shoulder on so
many battletields from 1861 to 1865.
Virginia ought to send a large military
representation to the unwilling and
she would doubtless do so but for the
fact that owing to the POcahontas min
fng troubles most Of her citizen sOldiery
are either in active service, or under or
ders to be ready for such service, and
therefore are not in position to make
preparation for trip to Raleigh. AS it
is, however, large veteran and civic del
egation from Virginia will participate in
the ceremonies.
Raleigh is making extensive prepara-
tions to entertain all visiting organiza-
tions, and that she will entertain them
handsomely and that the demonstra-
ton will be imposing in all it's details
need not be told any one who enjoyed
the hospitality of the city while the
Davis funeral train was there

What Help Can Be Given to the Hard
Pressed Far mers?
[Badischcr Volksbote, July !, 1898.

[Badischcr Volksbote, July !, 1893
This question is the most important in
our national affection of drought, and the
lack of pasturage connected Herewith,
that can occupy any true friend of his
country And this question is not an
swered by old party catchword of pro-
tective tariff and free trade and monop-
oily; it will neither be solved in the Reich
stag nor in the local legislature, though
legislation is also in this matter an i'm
portant factor. The farmer alone can
decide here in his hand lies the future of
our people. The matter at stake is the
most valuable possession a people can
have, their native land and soil. These
are faring i'll. Our land is not only being
more heavily encountered with mort
cages every year, but it is also losing
some of it's good qualities and fertility,
aud as the debt increases the value de-
creases. This is the most threatening
complication we have to meet. But
there is no use in merely lamenting it, it
must be improved and amended. And it
can be improved if we will only open our
eyes and see and learn and act in accor-
dance with that which we learn.
We can improve the soil and make it
fertile by using stone-meal as fertilizer,
as is shown by the experience of many
practical farmers. In the Neues Mannhei-
mer Volksblatt, NJ. A. Heilig publishes the
following declarations:
"The Observation-Disclosures Blaetter, by Mr..
Councillor Nesslcr, in Karlsruhe, rejected
q few months ago Hensel's method of
mineral manuring. Whoever wants to
convince himself how Hensel's method
acts in practice is invited to inspect my
two and one-half acres of barley near the
Isolating Hospital. Despite of the unu-
sual drought the barley has attained an
unusual height, and stands much fresher
than the barley in other fields. After the
harvest [ shall have the yield determined
before witnesses to see the difference also
in this respect
When practical experiments show such
results the farmer ought to give up his
preiudices and try himself whether the
new method OF manuring is not better
than the old. That the scientists and
professors ignore the new source of fer
tllzing need not astonish us, on the con-
trary: 1.-The professors are opposed to it,
therefore it is good" may soon become
a prOverb for hitherto the professors
have always opposed everything good
at it's first appearance. We think Hen
sells method of manuring will likely make
agriculture again profitable, and we shall
recommend it even if all should oppose
US on this account. When atsome future
date, not too far removed, the German
farmer and through him all the German
people shall enjoy the blessings of this
improvement of the soil, We shall yet re-
ceive thanks that we helped to prepare
the path for this new good during it's
hard times.
