And -four Farmers Wage This Kind
ola Battle for -Four Years They
Will be Sure to Prosper.

Every State ought to make it's
own bread and meat. 1t is an un-
wise people who do not feed them
selves by their own labor when
everything is propitious. North
Carolina should see to it that ev-
cry pound of meat and every pone
of bread is of home product
Raise your own hogs, COWS, sheep,
fowls. Raise your own breadstuff
wheat, corn, rye, oats. North
Carolina has great capabilities
under wise and energetic farming.
Raise your own wheat. Begin
now. The Scotland neck Com
monwealth says:
every bushel of wheat raised
on the farm is as good weight in
the balance of home independ-
ence; and the farm that does not
support itself does not show the
very best management.
cit was remarked to us a few
days ago by one who had made
extensive observation that the
farmer who does not sell as often
as he buys is not a good farmer,
or words to that effect.
"The planting of wheat would
save the buying of flour to the
farmer, and thus take one more
article from the end of the scale
which SO often goes down against
him"
Let us have very active cam
paign in this State for the next
four years of food raising. Let
there be regular campaign for

The Saw.

Pliney says that the saw was in
vented by Dpdalus, but according
to Apollodorus, it was the inven-
ton Of Talus, who used the jaw
bono of crocodile to cut through
piece of wood, and then made an
iron instrument in imitation of it.
The saw is represented on the
monuments of Egypt from $500 to
5000 years b. G. AS early as A.
d. 1922 sawmills driven by water
power were in operation at Augs-
burg, and it is believed that be-
fore this they were i'll operation in
Paris, driven by the current of the
Seine. The first sawmill erected
in the Norway pineries was i'll 1880.
Sawmilis were numerous in Italy
in the sixteenth century. They
were not introduced in England
until 1868, when native of Hol-
land built one, but was compelled
to abandon it by tho opposition of
the populace carpenters and other
artisans who saw no good in such
a new-fangled continuance.

claim it should be Fair Haven, and
not Kanauga. Now, as there is
already one postal town in Ohio
(if not more) called by the former
name its retention then would be
inconvenient and might lead to
vexatious mistakes. The choice
of the latter appellation seems

A Query.

During the hard fought civil war
from 1861 to 1865, the Union vol
unteers, were paid in money that
was worth about 83b cents in gold
and silver. In other words it took
in round numbers $500 in green
backs to buy gold or silcer dol
lar. The bondholder purchased
the first issue of bonds at from 40
to 60 cents on the dollar. The Re
publican party has taken care of
the bondholder, and his original
bond is now worth about $1.40, in
Guiding the premium, because the
laws have been so manipulated in
the bondholder's favor that he gets
gold for his bonds, his premium
and his interest, and pays no taxes
of any kind upon his investment.
Now, why not, take the same
care of the Union veteran, and pay
him enough to make the money he
received for his services, one
hundred cent dollar? This is a
query, we would like to have ans
wered.

If Democrats did disagree in the
late Presidential election about a
little thing like money, that is no
reason why they should continue
to be on the "outs." The Sound
money" Democrats and the Gree
silver" Democrats should get to-
gether and talk this matter over.
We must not be divided in 1893, or
in 1900. The vote of the country
shows plainly that united Dem
ooracy could have won the Presi-
dency and both houses of Congress.
There are thousands of more
Democrats in the country than
there are Republicans.
