MRS. ARLINGTON ARRESTED.

Mrs. Pattie Arlington, editor and
proprietor of the Criminal Docket,
which had been suspended for some
time, resumed the publication of her
paper last week. The issue was a
scorcher. She paid her respects to ex
Judge Whitaker and made some pretty
serious charges. The matter was pre-
sented to the Wake county grand jury
and the result was a warrant instGnter
or something of the kind, which was
served upon Mrs. Arlington and the
three Barnes Bros composing the job
printing firm of that name, they having
printed the paper. Each of the Messrs.
Barnes gave bond in the sum of 800
and Mrs. Arlington was released upon
her own recognizance. 1t is a new
idea to arrest job printers for printing
papers or other work for the public.
But, then, new ideas are not unusual
in North Carolina court matters.

PLATFORM

The following is the platform adopted
by the National Reform Conference at
Prohibition Park, Staten Island, July
3rd, as a proposed basis of union for
the reform forces. Representative Pro-
h~ibitionis5s, Populists, Socialists and
other reformers in large numbers at
tended the conference, which anopted
the platform almost unanimously. 1t
was voted to call another conference in
some representative city between o sto-
Der LIST and March LIST next.
PROPOSED BASIS OF UNION.
"As a basis of a union of reform
forces.
Il. Resolved, That we demand direct
legislation, the initiative and the refer
edum in national, state and local mat
ters; the imperative mandate and pro
portional representation.
"2. That we demand that when any
branch of legitimate business becomes
a monopoly in the hands of a few
against the interest of the many, that
industry should be taken possession of,
on just terms, by the municipality, the
State or the nation, and administered
by the people.
8. That we demand the election Of
President and Vice President and . S
Senators by direct vote of the people,
and also of all civil officers as far as
practicable.
"a. That we demand equal suffrage
without distinction of sex.
IS. That as the land is the rightful
heritage of the people, we demand that
no tenure should hold without use and
occupancy.
"6 That we demand the prohibition
Of the liquor traffic for beverage pur-
poses, and governmental control of the
sale for medicinal, scientific and me
chanical uses.
~. That all money-paper, gold and
silver-should be issued by the national
government only, and made legal ten
der for all payments, public or private,
on future contracts, and in amount
adequate to the demands of business.
IS. That we demand the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold at
the ratio of 16 to l."

THE BOOK

Mr.. @. Tom Bailey, of North Caro-
lima, is out in a card denying that the
book company he represents was ever
in a monopoly OF combine. During
the legislature @. Tom "a very bitter
in his attacks upon this company he is
now agent for, and probably induced
many Legislators to believe that it was
a combine, monopoly or something
worse. @. Tom, will have a hard time
undoing his own work. He set the
anonymous s~cribbler" a good exam
pie, however, by signing his name to
his article.

DIR. THOMPSON AT OAKWOOD
SCHOOL HOUSE.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
At an early hour the people began to
gather in the grove at lakewood School
House, Alamance county, July 4th.
The programme announced for the day
was fully carried out. Half a dozen
short speeches we're made by represen-
tatives from the different Sub Alliances
of the district. Hon. Cyrus Thompson,
the speaker of the day, was present and
spoke more than two hours to a deeply
interested and attentive audience. A
synopsis of his speech would do injus
tice to his mastery effort. Words of
praise are heard from many who lis
tened to the speech.
In the afternoon essays we're read by
the following young ladies:
What the American Farmer Needs"
by Miss Mamie Garrison.
"Woman's Place in the Reform" by
Miss Lester Watson.
"Noble Christian Womanh.o1," by
Miss Almetta Kernoodle.
The Battle Cry" by Miss Leona
Kernoodle.
The Christian Home Against the
Slloon," Miss E ,telIe Wa'sn
Carl Smith, or The Young Mechanic"
by Miss Efie Iseley.
The Danger of Vast Fortunes" by
Miss Emma Moore.
The exercises were i~nterspereed
throughout with some excellent music
rendered by a string band composed of
musicians from the neighborhood.
While there was no free public din
ner spread, yet there seemed to be am
pie provisions on the ground, and eve
ryone, with but few exceptions, had a
good dinner. Every body seemed to
enjoy the day, and it will be a long
time before the 4th of July, 1895, at
Oakwood, will be forgotten by the
hundred that were there.

times cut some more from the bed, but
I rather have as old vines as I can get,
for they take root quicker and make
larger potatoes.
In my article I stated that l had
never tried curing potatoes in a tobacco
barn, but will quote what the
bulletin says: If one has a fue heated
tobacco barn, or any building where a
good temperature can be maintained
by fire heat, which is to take the pota
toes from the field, in the ordinary
Slated shipping crates, and store thus
in the barn in these crates piled up so
that there will be cit culation of air all
through them, and none too close to
the fues. Then start fires with the
ventilators open and run the tempera
ture up to about 80 degrees and keep it
up until the potatoes have dried off the
sweat. Then close up the house and
watch it in all the changes of the
weather, and when the outside tenn
perature falls, make a little fire, SO as
not to let the barn fall below so degrees.
If kept shut close, it will seldom be
necessary to have fire. Potatoes thus
kiln dried at the start will keep till the
new crop comes in; but these should
not be used for seed, as their vitality
may be injured if a higher temperature
than that recommended should occur,
though they will keep all the better if
dried at ven a higher temperature.
If any one has no shipping crates, 1
should think Slated crates about six
inches deep to reach from one tier pale
to another would do. This method I
have never tried, but think I will next
fall. J. A. THOMAS.

Real Bimetallism," is one of the
school boy answers to Coins Finan-

New York, is the author of this book.
He is a lawyer, and holds some sort of
a small Office in the city government.
The New York Times gives Wheeler
the benefit of a half column editorial
and declares that the following is, not
only the meat Of the book, but is an
unanswerable propcs ition and does
away with the free coinage idea en-
tirely:
"And now let me make One propo-
sition to the free coinage advocates.
You say that the free coinage of silver
would tend to equalize the value of the
two metals, and that this would be
done by natural means, without any
legal compulsion. Wouldyou agree to
repeal all laws making silver a legal

on that basis, to allow silver to be
coined by the Government without
charge to the purchaser, (ownerO In
other words, are you willing to let each

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
I bed my seed tubers between the
middle and last of March; when the
sprouts come I draw and set some for
very early crop; after that I let my
bed stand till vines run three or four
feet long. If they get too long too
early I pinch out the bud and let stand
until they begin to run from the joints,
then I cut all the branch runners off
by cutting the old vine between each
leaf. Plant the old part in the ground,
but leave the bud out. When I get to
where there is no branch runners, I cut
the old vine up with three joints, plant
two leaves in the ground, but take care
never to plant top end down, as they
will not root. After the second cut,

from my early patch. When the bed
sprouts again the vines run, I some

OTHER LEGISLATURES MAZE
MISTAKES.
Correspondepee Of the Progressive Farmer.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
BURGAW, N. @.
In their desperate efforts to make it
appear that the last Legislature was a
body of ignorant, incompetent and o
rupt men, the Democratic papers have
had a good deal to say about the mis-
takes made by the clerks, and one
would suppose that nothing of the kind
had ever occurred before. In order to
enlighten the country on this point,
and to prove that this Legislature, in
this respect at least, differed but little
from these that preceded it, I offer the
testimony of no less an authority than
Hon. Oct. Coke, Secretary of State, in
the following extracts from his report
to the Governor, dated December 1st,
1894, under the heading "Enrollment
of Bills":
Il feel it my duty to call your atten-
ton to the evils following from the en-
rollment of the bills passed by the Leg
islature. These bills, in many cases,
are SO disfigured by asa and blots
as to make them almost illegible.
Omissions of one or more words in
other bills have lost, in n case, CON
siderable revenue to the State, and in
others have destroyed the real purpose
of the statute, and impaired the rights
of individuals"
This proof from the Secretary of
State and a Democrat, as to the igno-
rance and incompetency of former
Democratic Legislatures ought to close
the mouths and stop the pens of those
who are SO anxious to bring the last
Legislature into disrepute. That such
mistakes occur is greatly to be deplored,
and some way ought to be found by
which they could be prevented, but
these Democratic writers simply make
themselves ridiculous when they would
have the people believe that only by
the last Legislature did such things
eve occur. A. PADDIsON.
