A DOLLAR TO CAST IN THE BOTTOM
LESS PIT.

A dollar that reduces the wages of labor
to state of starvation is dishonest. A dol
lar that places cotton production below cost
is q villainous dollar. A dollar that creates
tramps out of honest mechanics is infamous.
A dollar that erects the demon of poverty
on the hearthstones of the land is in league
with the devil. A dollar that causes the
debtor to pay his debts three times over il
the dollar of rogues and scoundrels A dol
Lar that clothes the people in rags amid
plenty, and causes universal hunger in q
time of abundant production, is damnable,
ana should be cast into the bottomless pit.
Hickory Mercury.
This is the kind of dollar:.that Ran
som, Cleveland and John Sherman
favor-this is the kind of dollar that
the two old parties have placed be-
fore the country. The Peoples party
is coming to the recue.

The Charlotte Observer openly
charges certain Democrats with at.
tempting to steal in the following
language:
1--WE agree with that gentleman
Senator Butler) that the recent meet
ings at Raleigh and Memphis mark the
advance of the Populist party and con.
graduate him upon the fact. He il
standing his ground courageously, in
side his own party, for the financial
principle that he and it have stood fOr
from the beginning, and he is to be
commended for it. He and his party
are where they have been all the time
and we have no sympathy with those
who are trying to steal the platform
from under them"

Thousands of honest Democrats,
who could not be gotten to even read
both sides, have been made &C
ashamed and disguised by the lying,
abuse and deception of their party
leaders, that they have begun to read
both sides and therefore have become
strong and intelligent Populists-
that is they know why they are
Populist. If more copies of the
Democratic Douglass-ass history of
the last legislature could be gotten
into the hands of these honest
patriots still left in the Democratic
party, then the Peoples party would
grow even faster than it is

A number Of little boys were en-
gaged. by the machine to "sell books''
on that day. They did not know
what the books were. Neither did
their respectable parents. If they
had known, the boys would not have
sold them. But they were offered on
the streets early. A few were sold.
Then the sale slackened, though the
announcements Of the little sellers
increased in volume and frequency.
That book business finally came to .
stand still. 1t Is said that the "books"
were then offered free; but there
were few takers. In the evening .
Of these ''books" were seen
lying in the cutters in the streets
thrown away by disgusted purchasers

And this little lecture is APPLY
pointed and we'll delivered. If the
action of the Democratic party had
been such as to have created conf
dence, there would have been no de-
parture from it by the people of the
Southern States. If the Republican
party had pursued a course calculat-
ed to inspire confidence it would
never have been disrupted in the
Western States.

For this sarcasm the Charlotte pa
per gets the following little, logical
lecture from the Fayetteville paper:

lecture from the Fayetteville paper:
Our contemporary refuses to learn.
Fifteen months ago we did our best to
persuade it to accept the axiom that
the inertia Of minOrities was valueless
and that if action be taken it must,
logically, be in the direction of recov-
ering those whose desertiOn had con-
verified majority into minority. We
have since been beaten out of our boots
for our stubbOrnness, and yet our once
bright contemporary clings to its
bourbon notion that minority can re-
convert itself into majority by pur-
suing the course that had made it so.

WHAT DEMOCRATS DID AT THE UN

The 10th Of May, 1895, was a great
day for North Carolina. It was the
occasion of the unwilling of the Con-
federate monument. It ought to have
been day of patriotism without de-
secration. And it would have been
but for an organized machine calling
itsslf Democracy.

Another fact is that Senator Ma
rion Butler was in Raleigh on that
day. He was not in the procession.
He was not on the stand, though
the people Of the State had conferred
upon him the highest honor within

understand, however, that he was

Sonth Carolina Primaries.

Columbia, S. C..

MYSTERIOUS INDEED.
In Whose Hand Was the Ratchet That Chopped
 klr. Craig2

Jacksonville, Fla, July 30.-A special to the Times-Union from MacCienny' Fla. says: G. ". Craig. living about one mile south of this place, was chopped in the head last night about Il o'clock while lying in bed asleep. It appears that MT. and Mrs. Craig retired at their usual bed time, Mir Craig lying on the back of the bed against the wall. MT. Craig soon fell asleep, but Mrs. Craig, being unwell, could not sleep. About Il o'clock Mrs. Craig heard some one nov ing under the bed.
 She sprang up and ran out into the hall and got a pistol out of the desk standing in the hall. As she returned she says she heard some one strike a blow and heard a moan. When she got back to the door of the bedroom she saw a man standing over the bed and saw him strike Craig a second blow on the head, She tried to shoot him, but the pistol failed to fire. After striking MT. Craig the second time the man jumped out of the window and fled.
 Mrs Craig went to her daughter room and told her that Mir. Craig had been struck in the head and was badly hurt Neither of the parties left the house or gave any alarm until after daylight this morning.
 MT Craig was struck on the right side of the head in two places with a blunt instrument. apparently dull hatchet. One gash is s1a inches and the other 24l inches long, laying open the skull so that the brain protruded and he has bad bruise over his right eye. Dr. Taylor IS attending him, but says he has no hopes of his living until morning.
 Sheriff Pons is using every eftort to feret out the .perpetrator of this foul crime There is something very mys- terious about the affair, as it has been utterly impossible to find any trace or the party who committed the deed out side of thehouse either where he went or came or any blood stains outside of the hndr

POULTRY.

well-bred fowl will lay more eggs and grow to a marketable size sooner. Therefore, there is more profit from it, and 1t is the fowl for you to have. Grade up your stock with good males at least, and have a better lot of chickens in the next generation.
 Sharp grit, meat scraps and green food must be included in the diet of all poul- try, confined to runs Without these ar ticles hens cannot make eggs. Feed all scraps to the fowls while they are strictly fresh nothing will more quickly cause disease than decomposlng food.
 What further proof do we need that poultry raising is profitable industry than that wet find such great numbers. both in town and country. engaged in 1t :? We are certainly within bound when we say that this business is followed more universally than any other in this coun- try.
 Though it may be upon small scale, a few dollars spent in good poultry ana a few more in providing comfortable ac- commodations will return about largest interests of all your investments. II adds to the income in substantlal ana a constant way, which is most gratfylng. The diet of fowls must be frequently changed, or they will take on an over 1at condition and stop laying. While during cold weather heating foods should pc given, they should be as studfously aVoiu- ed when the warm season comes on.
 Disease and disaster are reasonapi sure to follow when foods. particularly soft stuffs. are thrown down among the dirt and filth of the floor. It soon sours, and it absorbs a portion of the surround ing filth on general principles it is bad practice.
 When a hen becomes broody, que pre- parations for the event shoudl be made. A setting hen is an ideal breeding place for lice. and the invitation is most readily accepted, if war is not made against thelr advance Be sure to give them places for dust baths, and add little sulphur now and then.
 Small seeds of any kind are much to be preferred to soft feed for the little chicks for the latter have tendency to lead to bowel troubles. Even avoid too much hard boiled egg. Cooked food shoud be given dry. and change the diet often.
 During the rapid growth of wing. feath- CTS and other plumage when about of weeks old is dangerous period for wee chickens; but a more risky time comes four or five months later, when the young fowls are changing their coats. A great draught seems to be made upon the constitution, and this must be met with nourishing foods.

The Socialists Were Rampant in the Ital-

 Rome, July 30.-Today's sitting of the chamber of deputies was an extremely stormy one In the course of the debate of the budget Signor Imbriani, the leader of the radicals, made a bitter attack upon the grants for the maintenance of the royal household. He was frequently in- terrupted by protesting deputies. and the latter part of his speech was drowned py cheers for the king. Afterwards on the debate on the items on the budget ap- propriatng money for the ministry ot the interior, Signor Vendemni, radical, de- clared that the extreme left would not vote the budget of minister who was under charges and under trial for irregu- larities if for nothing worse. several members of the majority angrily protest ed against Vendemni's language, and Premier Crispi twice shouted infamous. The radical and socialist deputies were finally shouted down, and finding them selves powerless against the majority the members of those parties, with the single exception of Signor Bovio, socialist, walked out of the chamber
