HARD TO BEAT THE LADIES.

The Populist-Republican combina-
ton IN the North Carolina Legislature
find it hard to get ahead of the noble
women of the Tar Heel State. Recent
ly they refused to vote an appropria=
ton of $4,000 to complete the Con
federate monument at Raleigh. This
only served to make the ladies of the
Confederate Memorial Association put
forth additional effort and they raised
such a tumult throughout the State that
the FusioniStS rcCouSidercd their action
and agreed to the passage ofthe appro-
priation. Now the Fusionists find
themselves in hot water again. The
ladies recently had a bill introduced
into the Legislature providing for a
display of the work of the women OF
North Carolina at Atlanta, but it was
tabled. Not discouraged, the ladies
have decided upon more appropriate
and unique exhibit at the approaching
exposition. In the room assigned tC
North Carolina in the Woman's Build
ing at Atlanta they propose to place a
large bear pine table, and upon this
table, in frame, the petition and bill
which the Senate so promptly tabled
and in another frame a picture of the
members of the Senate with the ayes
and noes, marked only this and moth

visit the exposition in Atlanta, why the

COTTON ACREAGE.
Wilmington Messenger.

What about the cotton acreage?
Will there be a reduC ton? If SO,
to what extend? Opinions differ
as to this. Reports tell of much
reduction and other reports say
that it will be little if any. The
Cotton Growers Convention
favored a heavy cut. From the
Gulf section comes report that
most farmers favor a reduction.
But the real question is-wlll
there be a bona tide lessening of
the cotton acreage? A smaller
crop-say 7 ,ooo, 900 bales-would
in all probability fetch as much
money as 9 900, 900 bales, and land
used in the 100000 other bales
could be utilized in making home
supplies. 1t will be remembered
that the crop of 1892, really
brought more money than the
preceding years crop brought,
and still it was 900, 900 bales
less. The New Orleans Plcayuue
says:
GA repetition of the present
large cotton crop would mean 3 a
to a cents for cotton at New Or
leans, which would be equivalent
to 3 cents on plantations. Such
price would bring ruin to the
cotton producers, and to the mer-
chants and laborers dependent
upon them. Three cent cotton
would bankrupt the entire South
and check for an indefinite time
the progress and development
which have recently become ap-
parent to this section"

FILL LIFE WITH MELODY.

Don't sit around AN grumble
From morning until night;
Don't be too meek nd humble,
Cause that isn't right.
But with heart that's cheerin'
With spirit bold and free,
An with happy song, as you go along,
Fill life with melody.
Prayin' loud an long in meetin'
Isn't the only thing to do,
A kind and hearty greetin',
An encouraging word or two,
Sympathy ofsubstantial kind
To those that needy be
Such deeds as these sore burdens ease
Fill life with melody.
Don't sit around despiSin'
The creeds an views o others,
But treatin an recognizin'
All men as your brothers.
Just sound the chord ofhuman love,
Cause hate an strife to fee,
An the world around will then resound
With sweetest melody.

THE GOVERNORS GUARD
MOVE ON.

The Governors Guard, which
everyone knows is one of the
best companies in the State
Guard, has decided to keep it's
existance in spite of the efforts of
the Legislature to wipe out the
military of the State. 1t costs
between $500 and $500 a year to
run the company, and it will get
only $50 a year from the State.
But the boys are full of pluck
and they VII move on in spite of
the Douglassites But it does
seem a traVesty on truth to call
it the "State"Guard now.-Nf1vs

EDUCATED FARMERS.

Too many farmers, and too
many farmers boys think educa-
ton is of much account on the
farm, and as soon as the boy be
gins to feel that he has something
of all education, he begins to look
somewhere else for a position. A
mistake is here. Education may
be turned to as great account on
the farm as anywhere else. In
deed, the successful farmer of the
future will be the educated
farmer, and the hope of the Ia
tons future lies in the education
of its farmers. An educated boy
will pillow straiter row, do more
work with a team without hurt
ing them when they are too
warm, will feed them regularly
and change the kind of feed oc-
casionally. He will put his i'm
plements in a shed when he gets
through using them; he will ro-
tate his crops on his land; he will
keep the best grades of stock; he
will be kinder and take more in
terest in his stock, and know
what kind is the most profitable
to handle; he will not always feed
his hogs on corn alone and keep
them in a yard where there is a
rotten straw stack for them TO lie
in; he will get his implements
for his spring work ready for use
in the winter, and not wait till
the day comes when he needs to
use them; he will make a live
man, a happy man; he will feel a
real interest in the plants around
him; he will have an assortment
of apples in his orchard; he will
be a better neighbor; ard having
had some experience and obser-
walton in his youth of other than
farm surroundings, he will be
able to appreciate freedom.

ment, he escaped from Bay View, near

society and had sought to keep it up to
face value, and that the links of love, af
fection and es TEEN which bound him and
the society together were as pure, as strong
and as lasting as the chain accompanying
the watch.
Mr.. Stevens was deeply stirred by this ex-
preston of appreciation on the part of his
fellow-members. and his voice trembled
with emotion when he attempted to reply.
He thanked his friends sincerely, and spoke
of the growth Of the organization and as
sured them that it was now on a substan-
tial basis and was bound to be successful
and to see the realization of its aims if
the individuals composing 1t would only
work as faithfully and as Loyalty as they
had done in the seasons past. He parted
with the society with sorrow and regret,
but would always retain an interest in its
affairs For himself he had already ar
ranged to connect himself with a similar
organization in his new home, and did not
propose to allow his musical interest to
waDe. After the adjournment of the re-
hearsal Mr.. Stevens received many express
sions of goodwill and best wishes for a
