COL. JAMES LONG DEAD.

Col. Jim Long, of Cabarrus county,
died at Concord a few days ago. He
was a peculiar character, and was as
honest as the average man, and far
better.
In 1856 there was some trouble in Ca
Darius concerning the Democratic nom
lnees for the legislature. As a nomina
ton was then equivalent to an election
the rivalry was great. Finally some
one suggested the name of Jim Long as
a compromise. This was done in a iok-
ing way, but it became a serious joke.
When the primaries were held, behold
Mr.. Long was the choice of the ma
Jority, and though not qualified by edu-
cation or otherwise, he was nominated
and carried the county. We think the
Colonel got the present @ 4barrus coun-
ty road law through that session. He
also INTRODUCED a bill to create a whisky
examiner for the State. He contended
that pure whiskey would not injure tx @
consumer. Finally the bill came up
on special order at 8 o'clock one night
and Col. Long, the fun-maker for the
body, was billed for a speech, and the
galleries were crowded with ladies.
According to Mr.. John M. Julian, of
Salisbury, who was a Page in the
House at that time, the Colonel arose
from his seat and shouted: Mr.
Speaker lin a loud key and then he
stopped for several moments, and his
frame quivered with pent up excite
ment, it being his first O~ratorical effort.
Finally he continued, saying: "LOok
at them women in the gallery. IF you
would give the men good whiskey to
drink there wouldn't be so many dead,
and we wouldn't see so many old maids
up there in the gallaries." He stood
perspiring forfully half a minute longer
and then sat down. The other mem
bers crowded around him and congratu-
lations came thick and fast. But the
bill was defeated. The Colonel fully
intended to be complimentary to the
ladies', for he was devoted to them, but
in the excitement Of the moment his
tongue slipped and the ladies never
forgave him. The bill was defeated,
the members well knowing that the
Colonel had made lifelong enemies of
the ladies present, and that it would
be suicidal to vote for this bill. Peace
to his ashes.

ANOTHER GREAT OFFER.

November 3Oth our special offer to
delinquent subscribers expired, and
with this issue we make q new one. If
you have been reading cur subscription
columns during the last month, and
will glance over them in this paper
you will quickly guess u a for
continuing our most liberal offer.
Nearly all of our delinquent subscribers
have shown their appreciation of u
liberality by sending US a dollar, and
the few who failed to take advantage
of it we desire to give another chance.
Altho' we make the same proposition
to cancel all debt to the paper and
mark up the label to Jan. 1, 90 for on
ly one dollar. Yet we add the stipula-
ton that you send an extra dollar and
renew in advance to Jan. 1, 81.
The offer now is: Send us 50
and we will cancel all back dues on
subscription and mark your label up
to Jan. i, 81. This new fer remains
the same as the old one so far as you
are concerned but with us it is quite
a different one
You get all your back dues paid in
full for one dollar and get the paper
during the year 1896 at our regular
subscription price. We get two dol
lars from each where last month we
got only one, and cash in hand is what
we need right now to pay off all our
debts before the first of January. This
offer is a great sacrifice on our part
and we are proud of our friends who
are making sacrifices to send us their
dollars. We do not believe there is a
paper in the country that has a list of
subscribers who are more honest and
who are more willing to do what is
right than THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER,
and when our delinquents accept this
liberal offer we recognize the fact that
they do it because money is scarce
and they must avail themselves of
every honest means to save a penny
TO provide for wife and home.
Now let all who sent us a dollar dur
ing November send US another
during December and have your sub
scription renewed to Jan. 1, 81.
Let all who failed to send us a dol
lar during November take advantage
of our new offer by sending us two
dollars and having your subscription
credited up to Jan. l., 81. If you do
this we will be assured that u offer
is appreciated, and that our appeal is
not made in vain. See offer on this
page.

COL. MORRISON QUITS IT.

Col. j. W. Morrison, of Texas, in
answer to a request for his reasons for
quitting the Democratic party and
Joining the Populist party, thus writes
to the Hillsboro CTexas) Retormer:
You ask me why I left the Demo
cratic party and joined a parry that
has not the opportunity to relieve the
wants of the people that the Demo-
cratic party has. The question with
me ie, with the present leaders that
we have in the Democratic party, will
they right the wrongs of the county
/ will admit there are as good men in
one party as the other. But I do not
believe we have our best men at the
head of our government today. II
does seem to me that our leaders lack
wisdom or honesty, because they fail
to administer the affairs of the govern.
ment In the interest of the people.
There is a wrong somewhere, which
all parties admit to be q fact. But the
question is, how to get at the remedy
