Should Render an Account,

Morganton Herald
The burden is upon the directors
and His ExcellencY, the Governor of
the State, who sanctioned the lease,
to prove that their action has been
necessary for the public welfare.
Whatever the demands of the pri-
vate stockholders, a great State ine
vested its millions in this enterprise
with some other view than getting a
six or seven per cent. dividend on its
stock. There may be provisions in
the lease that will compensate the
people FOR the sacrifice of their indie,
pendence, There may have been
dire disasters that threatened, which
the directors foresaw and which
their precipitate action averted. If
there were, the trustees for the peo-
pie owe it to themselves and to the
State to render an..account. The case
is against them as it stands today.

Fattening the Hogs.

st. Louis Republic.
With all stock intended to be sold
this fall now is a good time to COM
mence purchasing and feeding. This
is especially the case with hogs. In
many cases it is the early marketed
hogs that return the best profit.
So long as corn is largely depended
upon for fattening hogs it is best to
begin feeding in good season. 1t is
not only safest but best to begin
with small quantity and gradually
increase until they are given all that
they will eat up clean.
Ii too heavy feeding is given at
first there is danger of the hogs get
ting surfeited, and they will not do
so well as if more care is taken in the
feeding. A good plan is to commence
cutting off the corn and feeding it,
stock and all, until the grain hardens
we'll.
While corn can be made the princi-
pal ration, yet generally it will not
be best to make it an exclusive
ration, especially when long feeding
is in prospect.
Even for fattening hogs bran and
oil meal or wheat middliDgs made
into good slop can be fed with
profit. A good plan is to feed the
slop first and then the corn, taking
care to feed literally in all cases.
While it is true that with "a good,
vigorous hog rather a better gain
can be secured if the hogs are kept
confined in a close, clean pen, yet
there is always risk OF disease when
hogs are closely confined When the
health and risks are considered the
better plan is to give the range of a
good pasture. Another item is to
feed and water regularly and to
have a dry, comfortable place for
them to sleep. 1t will also be a help
in maintaining health if box is
kept filled with salt and wood ashes
where they can help themselves.

THE Law INDICATED.

The trial of those charged with
participating in the unfortunate
affair which occurred in our city on
the night of the 18th instant is over
and the majesty of the law has been
indicated.
The offence was grievous and stub
born and aggravating and was the
height of folly, and yet the patience
and prudence and calmness and for
bearance of the officers of the law,
amid the turbulence, was most re-
markable and evinced high regard
for human life, and many of those
who are now to pay the penalty of
outraged law may congratulate
themselves that their rashness did
not cost them their lives.
In few communities, we believe,
North or South, would such violence
have been quelled without more
serious results to the offenders and
the conservative action of our
officers furnishes abundant evidence
that the reflections made by bloody
shirt waivers that there was unfair or
harsh treatment of the colored peo-
pie are altogether gratuitous and
false. At the time and during the
trial the greatest possible allowance
was made for the excitability and
the ignorance of the offenders end
just before sentences were passed the
Judge remarked if they were white
men they would be punished more
severely, because of the superior
education and knowledge of the
whites.
The trial, involving such large
number of prisoners, was necessarily
long and tedious, but was admirably
managed under the direction of
Judge G. FL. Brown, who igave the
offenders thoroughly fair and inn
partial trial, according them every
right to which they were entitled
under the law.

Success on a Farm of 50 Acres.

The Rural World tells how Mr.. T.
B. Terry, the well know agricultural
writer OF Ohio, made a competence
on a farm of 35 acres, aud without
going into any schemes known as
clancy farming" Here is the story
From farm of 35 acres T. B.
Terry, of Ohio, has acquired a com
petence, and is now principally
engaged in teaching his fellow farm
ers how they may do likewise. 1t
may be fairly stated that nine tenths
of these have tried to make a similar
competence on more than ten times
that number of acres and have failed,
an evidence of the truth stated in
these columns repeatedly, that sue
cess was in the man, and not in the
location or the business. Mr.. Terry
was at first assisted by his son, and
when necessary by a hired man. His
farm of 35 acres was divided into
three parts and subjected to a rota-
ton: one third being devoted to
potatoes, one-third to clover, and
one third to wheat. His main de-
pendence for money was on his
potato crop, of which he raised an
average of 225 to $50 bushels to the
acre, or about three times the guam
tity ordinarily raised by the farmers
of the West.
Chow he did it is an interesting
and instructive lesson. His main
object in raising the clover was to
use it as fertilizer in drawing
nitrogen from the air and phos-
phoric acid from the ground by
nf Ia
used no commercial fertilizers, find
ing clover much cheaper and i'm
measurably superior. He plowed
under greensward for potatoes the
first year. In the fall. on that
ground he sowed wheat, and in the
spring he dragged the wheat, which
did not iDjure it, and seeded to
clover. After cutting his wheat in
the fall be had left q good growth of
clover, which he cut, and then turned
under the clover sod the next spring,
which made "a fine, well-manured
ground to plant potatoes in. The
roots of the clover were so long that
they went down for phosphoric acid
where no other roots could reach
And the leaves OF the clover were
broad, and they took in the nitrogen
from the air, ind turning all this
under made the very best manure
that could be obtained for the next
potato crop
eHere is a lesson that many may
follow. Especially may the young
men of small means, stout hearts,
and willing hands prepare themselves
for like effort in the full assurance
that with a like pertinacity success
will crown their efforts and reward
their faithful SERVICE"

SENATOR WAISTS VIEWS.


Some days since, ex Sene tor Pat
rick Walsh, of Georgia, who has Civ
en- the currency question close study,
was interviewed by a representative
of the New York Mercury. From
this interview we make the following
extracts:
"Just turn a few figures over in
your mind to illustrate the folly OF
making gold the only measure OF
value. The gold output of the world
last year, if 1 remember right, was
about $50, 100000. If the securi-
ties held by the London exchange
yield an average interest of 3 per
cent. 1T would take nearly all the
gold produced in the world to pay
the interest for the year, to say moth
ing about the amount that is con-
sumed in the arts. That is for Lon
don, mind you, and does not refer
to the demands OF English mmerce,
but only to what you might call the
banking or speculative interests.
az am satisfied thatif this financial
system continues we will witness in
our own time the greatest despotism
of wealth that the world has eyer
known. 1t is impossible for the peo-
pie of the n nth to comprehend the
impoverished condition of the labor
ers of the South at this day. Never
in my time has labor been SO cheap,
and never in my recollection has the
farmer been in such wretched straits
We have no money down our way.
We have everything else that the
labor of the land and the brain can
produce. If we had a currency that
simply acted as medium ofexchange
We would be on the highway to pros
perity. But, having a contracted
currency, living under gold stand
ard that does not furnish us a me-
dunn of exchange, but furnishes us
money that is SO valuable that the
price of our products must decline
below the cost of production. In
other words, the dollar is so scarce
and bales OF cotton are SO plentiful
that TO get the dollar We must sacri-
fee the cotton. | speak advisedly
when say that the Southern cotton
crop this year sold for less than the
cost of production

IT strikes MS that it would be in
order for the Directors of the North
Carolina railroad to make a public
statement of the reasons for the
recent lease. which appears to the
greater part of the public to have
been an unwise act. A large majori-
ty of the stock of this road belongs
to the people of North Carolina and
these Directors, as servants of the
people, should render an account of
their stewardship. The Directors
owe it to themselves to present ar
guments in Justification of their act,
if they have them-and we suppose
they have, or the lease would not
have been made. Turn on the lights,
gentlemen, and let the people see and
pass upon all the facts connected
with the transaction.

should not be injected into the mat
