depressed and disappointed that now
is the time for them to work. Well
we are disappointed in some things,
for 1 thought when a mans term of
Office expired and another was elected
in his place, all the former had to do
was to step down and out; but 1 find
that when you want to get n of these
| old coons out of a hollow you have to
do something besides stand around
and bark. You have to just get hold
at the best place you can and pull.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if u only hope
for success in 1896 depends on money
we are going to get left. But we have
got true manhood and patriotism
| enough in our ranks to carry u polnVs
without much money.
Some of our opponents say that q
last General Assembly was, as a class,
an honest and we'll intentioned set OF
men, but that they just did not know
how to transact business. Well, l sup
pose the majority of them were labor
ing men, and you know That a com
mon laboring man hasn't much ability
for business. Be they ignorant or in
telligent they did some things that l
commend them for; and if they should
be SO fortunate as to get there again in
1896, there will be some other things
done that will not suit everybody, as
was the case this time.
1t has been said that such a set of
men will never go to the legislature
any more. But all we need to send
them there is a fair ballot and an honest
count, which we expect to have in the
next election.
With much success to THE Progress
sTvE FARMER, l remain

AT THEIR OLD TRICKS.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
AUBURN, N. Q.
thought it was rather soon to COM
mence work for the next campaign,
but from what I saw in The PROGRESS
sHyE FARMER a few days ago, it seems
that some of the good old party fellows
have commenced the same old tricks
they have resorted to before-trying to
carry their points with money. I sup
pose they think times are hard and
money is scarce with the most of us,
and the weather continuing cool, the
prospects for a good crop are a little
gloomy at present, and as they say the
mortgage system is killed, so that a
poor man can't get supplies to make
his crop, they take advantage of these
things, thinking, perhaps, that they
"a carry the next election with a lit.

heretofore. It seems that they won't
need very much money, but they need
little now. 1t seems that they have

the scholars, large and small, were
required by the teachers to form into
line and recite about three lessons each
day, two in the fore part of the day
and n in the afternoon winding up at
the close of the day with a spelling
lesson (modernly termed, spelling
bee). In the summer months, Major,
you will remember we all went to
school, letting the DEVILS leather take
Gods weather so far as our feet were
concerned. We had no tan shoes in
those days, nor patent leather shoes
either. It was the regular brogan and
they only for winter use, and we ad-
hered strictly to the custom, little and
big, young and old, rich and poor,
male and female all went herefooted;
the girls had no boomers to wear on
their arms, frills and founces were
unknown; the girls wore a straight
dress, the sleeves long and tight. If
the modern girl was to see M of the
dresses her forty year-ago-sister
to school, she would think the dress
maker had laid a garden fence post on
the table and cut the dress by it.
Notwithstanding all this, Major, the
girls were as sweet as they are to ,day.
The boys, dress for summer was the
regular coperas pants, all cut the same
way, no matter whether the boys wore
his legs straight or bowed, pants and
shirt made his wardrobe. The pants
were made new in the spring about
hen sitting time. By the time when
one gallows and no buttons, but used
instead wood pegs, and his pants were
not complete without at least two
patches on the western hemisphere of
them, or better known in modern
times as the bosom" He was happy

TIE furniture of a school room in
those days was a certain number of
benches, made from logs split open in
the woods and round legs put in them.
They were wider than a fence rail and
not quite as sharp. The houses we're
built of hewn logs and the cracks left
open so that the cold air could get out
of the house in the winter and get
back in during the summer months.
The reader will g at ono that this
was a wise arrangement.
Instead of the modern self-acting, self
linking, double loaded folding, iron
footed, toeless writing desk, we cut
two of the logs that made the wall of
the house half in two about four logs
from the floor. This was for light.
We then had a pine plank - to IA
inches wide, to go the whole length of
the house, the upper edge of the plank
with the window, and lowered the
other edge of the plank to the angle
of 45 degrees, got on a high BIN,
stuck our toss through the crack in
the hnTse near the floor and we all
learned pennmanship there.
Our commencement was in this wise:
On the closing day the big boys would
go to the school house early, bar the
doors and windows and not allow the
professor to enter the house until he
would give a pledge that he would
treat all to school to candy, apples
and such things as they would dictate.

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1895-06-11

"Old North State' disgraced itself by
adjourning in honor of Douglas.
On! Mr.. Hileman has ruined his
reputation, and has disgraced his
country and State by voting to ad-
journ the legislature in honor of
Douglas.
The enlightened people of America,
why did not the Democratic Bible
the TImes-long ere now find out that
Mr. Hileman was such a grand rascal9
Has he not represented our beloved
county in the legislature on two pre-
vious occasions in the name Of the
Democratic party9 Is he not the same
man he was then9 If he had been sent
to the legislature by the Democratic
party, he would not have been such
a grand rascal, but 'Hon. Hileman.
We hope Mr.. Hileman will ever esti-
mate principle above party, and
will be leader in the management
of the government of North Carolina
until Harry Skinner the End is reared
to take his place.
Has not the Maker of heaven and
earth given you this life to make the
most of it, What is going to be your
place before the God of heaven for the
manner in which you use the privileges
of this life9
Then, people of America, be not fool
ish, but be wise and let not prejudice,
by a be your guide.
Do you not see the poor becoming
poorer?
We think we hear someone whisper
ing, saying, "The country is constant,
ly growing better. We are constantly
building fine churches. We pay a
large amount to the preachers salary,
and we go to church every Sunday,
and if the preacher happens to say
anything that strikes you, you have
the church "~growling" about it.
Do you worship your Maker or the
church in which you assembled
Fathersl Mothers! what are your
sons and daughters doing9 Do you
ever think of your sons spending their
time at a card table or in a gambling
hall? "Whither are they drifting7'
Are they spending a life which is so
precious to them in a way that will
be an honor to you in your old age7
All, much sadder! Many of them are
filling drunkard's graves.
voT,-~ 1o5Soc ~ Aroouoo IL -Oy,
aver think you are responsible to a con
siderable extent for the condition
(morally) of your county3 Do you
seek company that will elevate you,
and those with whom you associated
Do you associate with young men who
allow their breath to be pertumed with
alcoholic Then beware9 Oh, beware!
Young man, do you think you are
not a man unless you take the name of
God in vain9 Then stop and think of
the great hereafter and 'whither are
we drifting9 Then we call upon you
to no longer let someone else do your
thinking for you, Think for your
selves. Think soberly, and prejudice
not yourselves to party, but to princi-
pie. Be honest with yourself and your
fellow man.
Before you cast your ballot, please
remember the people of Babylon were

Babylon has fallen.
