NIr. and AIrs. BRYAN Attend chureh.

Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan Attend Church.
CHICAGO, Aug. Thousands Of on
thusiastic free silver Democrats called al
the Clifton House to see William J. Bryan
and his wife yesterday. They came will
their wives and babies and children. But
it was late In the afternoon before theiI
desires wero satisfied.
In the first place. Mr.. and Mrs Bryan
slept until the middle of the forenoon
They were weary and worn from the ia
tigues and hot weather of the previous
day. Then they wanted TO be prepared foi
the excitement of today. When they ha6
breakfasted they took a carriage ano
alone went to church. They drove to the
Presbyterian church at Englewood anc
listened to an orthodox sermon preached
by the Rev. DR.. John Clark Hill. The di
vine did not know that tho Democratic
nominee and his wife wero coming, and
two-thirds of the congregation went home
after the services in utter Ignorance OF
the fact that their house of worship had
been honored by his presence. No refer.
ence was mado to the political Issues OF
the day by the preacher in his sermon, nor
did he In his prayers mention the candi
date or his cause.
One reason that Mr and Mrs. Bryan
attended services at Enalewood church
was because the Rev. DR.. HUI has accept
cd call TO act as pastor over the First
Presbyterian church at Lincoln, of which
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan are both members.
They wanted to hear their new pastor
Mr.. Hill is now pastor Of the Presbyterian
church at Austin, and he preached at En-.
glewood rs u supply" during the absence
of the regular pastor.
Thousands of eager Democrats called at
tho Clifton House to sec the national can.
didate, but they were disappointed. After
returning to the hotel Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
took dinner and then took an afternoon
nap, which lasted until near O'Clock in
the evening. After that they went TO the
parlors and held an informal reception
Tho throng then began to pour in. The
Domoorntio nominee and his wife wese
kept very busy shaking hands, kissing
babies and children until near the time
for their departure.

MORE CORN-LESS COTTON.

1t was probably never more import
ant than it is at present for the South
to reduce the acreage of its cotton
crop for 1896, and devote increased
attention to the production of food
stuffs. One more year of abundant
food crops and reduced cotton acreage
would put the South forward to Won
derful extent, while a short food sup
ply and large cotton crop would result
in serious injury to all Southern bust
ness interests. Outside of the ordinary
conditions which would make this i'm
portant, the prevailing war fever
throughout the world emphasizes its
necessity. Should there be war in
Europe or America, cotton would
quickly feel the effect and prices de-
cline, while foodstufs of all kinds
would command the highest prices.
To all reasons which in years past have
been advanced for special attention to
the production of grain, fruits, vege-
tables and provisions, and less atten-
ton to cotton, is this year added the
worldwide unrest and the unfortunate
prospect for war in Europe, which would
seriously and quickly lessen the mark
Ell value of cotton. Increase the
acreage in foodstuffs should be the
Southern farmers motto for $780,

Popular Monthly's Great Lee Articles.

There is no American, living or dead,
North or South, who stood nearer the
hearts of the people, or whose memory is
held with more sacred affection than Cen
eral Robert F. Lee All on this side of the
wiped-out but never to be forgotten
Cline" feel that they know him; but
there is still much of his history and that
of his family and his ancestors that has
never yet been told. On this account
the GOLD LEAF is pleased to note the
announcement Of Frank Leslie's Popular
Monthly regarding the series OF notable
Lee papers that begin in the February
issue. The first is "The Ancestors OF Gen
eral Robert E. Lee and the Times in
Which They Lived, by Mrs. Judge Roger
A. Pryor, of New York. The whole Sc
ries, beginning with the earliest colonial
times down to the present date, will be
enriched with numerous portraits and IL
Illustrations OF special interest, heretofore
imprinted and large speaking likeness

gether these articles will form valuable
addition to the history OF the great men
of the nation.

Col. FRED OLDs, the newspaper
correspondent, says the Populists and
Republicans are doing good deal of
talking since the sentence of Satterfeld
and Brown, at Raleigh. One of them
says the real guilty persons are two
Democrat members of the Legislature
from the western part Of the State.
Another adds that preacher may be
concerned in the matter. Another
says that he knows who was present
when the bill was copied, and that he
was preacher, but not one of these
will call any names. Out with the
names and let the public know who
the parties are-if there is any truth
in all this talk.

SENATOR HILL, who is bachelor,
has called down the wrathful indigna-
ton of the female portion of the Dis
trict of Columbia upon his unrighteous
(bald) fate. The course of this is the
recent declaration upon his part that
the nations representatives in Wash
ington allow their social indulgences
and functions to interfere too seriously
with their duties to their country, and
the further suggestion that it would be
good thing if all the women were
packed up and sent away while Cong
ress is in session. A great many peo-
pie had an idea that it was not SO
much the social indulgences and func-
tons that interfered with the duties of
certain "statesmen" in and around
Washington as it was the saloons and
card tables, and the looking after their
private affairs at home, instead.

CHARITY is one of those amiable
qualities of the human breast that i'm
parts pleasure to its possessor, and he
who receives it. Like the dew from
heaven, it falls gently on the dropping
flowers in the stiffness of the night-re-
freshing and reviving. 1t never opens,
but seeks to heal the wounds inflicted
by misfortune. The gratitude of the
donee is rich recompense to the do
nor and refnes the joys of each. Angels
smile on such benevolence.
The above beautiful (and TRUTHFUL
thoughts are from the pen of the talen-
ted young editor of the Orange (Va,
Observer: His felicitous frame o.
mind is accounted for by the following
couplet printed in another part of the
sane issue of his paper:
We are feeling happy
Days are bright and sunny
Two loads of wood in this week,
What do we care for money?

Can Hog Cholera be Cured?

Before answering this question, DR..
Salmon, chief OF the United States bu-
reau of animal industry, says it is nee
cessary to remember that there has
never been discovered remedy for a
single one of the infectious diseases OF
man or beast which will cure every ill.,
dividual attack. A large number of
tests were made by the department,
and for long time it was doubtful
whether any remedy or combination
of remedies could be made which would
produce any marked effect in 1essening
the ravages of swine diseases. The
experiments of the last year, however,
indicate that treatments, Improperly ap-
piled, may be successful. A number
of formulas have been developed and
used in the field with good results. The
most effective is the following: Wood
charcoal l b., sulphur l h., sodium
chloride lbs, sodium bicarbonate 2
lbs, sodium hyposulphate 2 lbs, So
dunn sulphate Id. These ingredients
must be completely pulverized and very
thoroughly and carefully mixed. =
The dose is a large tablespoonful
for every two hundred pounds Of hog,
and is to be given once every day.
When hogs are affected do not feed
corn alone, but at least once a day
give soft feed, made by mixing bran
and middlings, or middlings and corn
meal, or ground oats and graip, or
crushed wheat in hot water, and then
stir in this the proper quantity Of med
icine. Hogs are fond Of this medicine.
It increases their appetite, and when
they once taste of the food with which
it has been mixed, they would eat it
when nothing else would tempt them.
Very sick animals that cannot eat the
feed, should be drenched with the med
icine shaken up with water. In our
experiments, hogs that wouldil eat
nothing, have commenced, after re-
ceiving dose of the remedy, and stead
lily improved until they appeared, per
fectly well.
This medicine may also be used as
preventive of swine diseases, and for
this purpose should be put in the feed
Of the whole herd, care being that each
animal receives its proper share. In
cases where it has been given a fair
trial, it has apparently cured most of
the animals which were, and has stop
ped the progress of the disease in the
herd. It also appears to be an excel
lent petizer.-ErchaHge.

JUDGE PRYOR AND THE CITIZEN.
MAKING POWER.

Judge Roger A. Pryor, of the SUI
preme Court, of New York, is in dan
ger of rendering himself unpopular il
he acts on the eve of an election in
New York as he did the other day in
refusing naturalization to number OF
sNoald-be citizens, when he made this
interesting announcement. Said he:
81 shall refuse to naturalze any more
persons or admit them to citizenship
unless they have read the Constitution
of the United States and can speak the
English language Of this country. Per-
sons who cannot fill these requirements
need not come before the court. They
will only waste time by so doing"
We heard a reputable gentleman
say on one occasion that just previous
to an election in New York he had
known immigrants to be given natur-
ailzation papers Clothed with the
rights and privileges of free born Amer
lean citizens) and the ballot put in
their hands by which they ADDED their
strength to the law making power of
the land or the municipal rule of the
city, before the smell Of Castle Gar
den had got off their persons. So we
say if Judge Pryor persists in the course
he has set he may find himself not in
favor with the political bosses in his
neck of the woods.

EXERCISE JUDGMENT.

The farmers of Vance county are
credited with good supply of COM
mon sense. They have shown this by
the progress made in recent years.
But there is yet room for improvement.
1t can not be denied that some of them
do not exercise that degree of judg-
ment in the conduct of their business
that they should. They may work
hard and practice economy but that
does not compensate for the lack OF
the quality of which we speak.
In no occupation is a thorough
knowledge of the business in hand
the forces employed and the elements
produced-more essential than that of
farming. To be successfully done it
must be intelligently done. The
highest results can only follow the most
enlightened methods and common
sense usage. 1t is folly to undertake to
grow bright tobacco on landsuited only
for the production of cotton, or raise
cotton on land better adapted to corn;or
either on land that will produce more
money to the acre if put in tobacco.
These are truths known of every man,
and yet in the face of these facts many
farmers 60 right on year after year do
ing this very thing.
The object of this article is to cor
rect this as far possible-to put our
people to thinking along this line and
cause them to exercise greater judg-
ment in their farming operations.
Whatever may be said about curtailing
the cotton crop of the South, our ad
vice is to plant whatever your lands
are best adapted to-what will pay
you the largest returns in net money.
But we do not mean by this that all
cotton or all tobacco should be planted.
1t is not safe plan to stake every
thing upon any one market crop. That
is the mistake made by the farmers of
the South in former years.
First plant sufficient crop of corn,
wheat, potatoes, peas, oats, rye, grasses,
&C., for home consumption al least,
then put in tobacco and cotton enough
to make out full crop. Prepare the
land thoroughly, manure heavily and
cultivate well. Make compost, use
woodsmold, swamp muck, stable ma
nure, barnyard scrapings and all
availablej material Of the kind as a
basis and then apply good commercial
fertilizers as the necessity may require
and your ability 10 pay for will ad-
NIT of.
Select your land for the desired crop
with judicious care, having in view its
adaptation to the perfection of growth
and maturity of that particular CROP
always. If these rules are followed
there is no good reason why the farm
ers of Vance county may not be the
most successful and prosperous people
OF any section of the country.
