LITTER FROM ROWAN COUNTY.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
AS 1 haven't seen anything in your
paper from this section in q long time,
I'll try to give you some rambling
thoughts.
At the meeting of Salem Alliance,
No. 442. held Saturday, the writer in
troduced a resolution to urge upon our
representatives to pass a law that no
person shall be elected to the same
Office for more than two terms, and it
was unanimously carried; and we ask
all the Alliances to take action and
urge the legislature to pass that law.
Mr.. Editor, I see a good deal in the
papers about the Populists that bolted
the caucus and voted for Pritchard, the
goldbug; and some think that Harry
Skinner will be the POpulist leader in
1898. Now let me tell you he won't
lead old Rowan Populists to the Hanna
goldbug counter. We are going to
stick to Butler as long as he does as he
has been doing, and we think the eau
u did right in throwing the II trait
ors out. We don't want any such stuff
in our party. The old parties are try.
ing with all their might to break up
the Populist party. NowI say let us
run u own ''shebang" hereafter, in
dependent of both old parties, and you
will see how fast the recruits will
gather in our ranks from the old par
ties. Let's not fuss with either, for you
can't trust them further than I can
throw a bull by the tail. So I'll stop
for this time. W. Fl. BOsT.

Baptist Co operation.

The report of the North Carolina
Baptist Convention gives a most en-
couraging account of the operation of
the plan of co operation in the North
ern and Southern Baptist Societies for
work among colored Baptists. It says
the plan has been most effective in
doing the work contemplated. Moth
ing undertaken by Baptists North or
South has had happier effect upon our
colored people. The four missionaries
employed have been ~splendidly eff
Gent. The Institutes have been largely
attended by colored people of all de-
nominations. Our pastors and lay
men have participated in a helpful
way in these Institutes, delivering lee,
lures on the various topics as arranged
in the plan of CO operation" Asan in
dication of the z9al and interest awak.
ened among the colored Baptists by the
movement, it is mentioned that their
years contributions for missionary and
denomtnational purposes were four
times as great as ever.

Cruelty to Animals.

Let ua take notice of the great vari-
ETY. of creatures, which n made for
for pleasure, some for food,
some for labor, some for clothing. At
the same time, let us remember that
u right in these creatures is not alb
solute. We hold them from God, and
he can deprive us of them whenever
he seos fit, and whenever we abuse
them; and therefore the Spirit of God
has said, "The merciful man is
merciful to his beast" Who
ever, therefore, abuses any OF Gods
creatures, or tortures them, or destroys
such az are neither hurtful when they
are alive, nor of use when they are
killed, will have more to answer Tor

There is much said and written
against excessive drinking. Very lit
tie, however, is said or written against
excessive eating; yet the latter is es
great a source Of evil On a way not so
visible as the former and really greater
desire for it. One of the hardest les
sons for any child of God to learn is to
eat in due season for strength, and not
tF mere pleasure in eating. Paul says:

meant that he did not allow his appe-
lite and passions to rule him. We
must remember that IMAM liveth not

live, not live to eat" During the late
war, soldiers lived and marched on a
biscuit q day. Notice how little the

physician says that over eating is the
greatest source of disease. Overloaded

Jewish Movements.

The Union of American Hebrew
Congregations at its recent meeting in
Louisville, KY, decided to raise an en-
dowment fund of $500, 900 for the He
brew Union College, toward which
800, 900 was guaranteed by a single
person; recognizing the Sabbath
school Union es a part of the body;
approved the Council Of Jewish Wo
men and instructed the rabbis to give
the women all the aid possible; and de-
termined to establish in the college a
semitic department for academic
students, independent of the theologi-
cal department.. A Committee, or
Board, on Civil and Religious Rites re-
ported that it had publicly protested
against petitions to Congress that called
for a "Christianizing" of the govern
ment and the recognition of Christ
and the Sabbath in politics, in echool,
in divorce laws, and in Thanksgiving
proclamations. 1t had also called the
attention of our Ambassador at Saint
Petersburg to the refusal of Russian
officers to recognize the passports of
Americans protesting the Jewish reli,
gion. The college has Is, 1876 volumes
in its library, among which are many
valuable and interesting books on
Jewish liturgy and literature.

The Missionary Opening in Korea.

Mrs. Isabella Bishop, one of the NEST
extensive and intelligent travellers Of
the age, and especially acquainted
with the oriental peoples, has written
to DR.. ElLinwood, of the Presbyterian
Board, expressing high admiration of
the methods and results Of missionary
work in Korea. She was particularly
thankful that she had attended the
meeting of the Presbyterian mission
aries, for she had mot elsewhere seen
where seen such an earnest, cheerful,
whole hearted body Of men and wo,
men, with so completely one aim in
view and so much in harmony" With
no special interest in that country, and
no preliminary interest in n Nilsson
more than another, she was ''bound to
say" that 1.-The needs of Korea, or rather
the opening in Korea, have come to oc
cupy a very outstanding place" in her
thoughts. Very many r prepared
to renounce devil worship and to wor-
ship the true God, if only they are
taught how; and large numbers more
who have heard and received the Cos
pei are earnestly craving to be instruc-
ted in its rules of holy living. x = =
The methods of the Mission are ad-
mirable il the training of the Chris
tians to self help. They are helping
themselves to the limit of their means.
Also admirable are the methods used
for fitting the Koreans for carrying
the Gospel intslligently to their breth-
rem. This work alone requires four
times the number of men already in
the field to carry it out. Yet on it per
haps more than on any other agency
hang our hopes for the advancement
Chrigt's kingdom"

Schurz as a Nirnrod.

Some of the younger newspaper read
ers NAV never have heard or read much
of the truly wonderful and picturesque
career of Carl Schurz, and there are
many among older readers who do not
know that he has greater variety of
accomplishments than are possessed by
one man in ten thousand. In addition
to his achievements as revolutionist,
soldier, diplomat, business man and
journalist, he is fine pianist. 1t was
wears after he had been prominent In
American public life, however, before
any one knew this, and it was revealed
in a singular manner.
He had been advocating the nomina-
ton of a certain man for the presidency
at one of the Republican national con-
ventions. The contest on his part and
on the part of his friends was waged
with an earnestness akin to bitterness.
hut it was not successful. But he took
the defeat with philosophy. and his
friends were delighted that ne snould
he SO TRANQUIL. But they were surprised
when he TeaCneu IuS HOlSt dASSA e~'A "NAN'
over to see him go to the piano, open
if and sit down before the keyboard.
And their surprise was still greater as
they listened to a most mastery per-
formance Of 1.-THE Heart Bowed Down.
Mr.. Schurz has killed the chamois.
and other big game in the Alps and
also in the Pyrenees. and he has made
a. close study by proxy of the hunting
~, Africa and Asia. But he is satisfied
that American game is as we'll worth
pursuit by the sportsman as any in the
world. One of the most priced decora-
tions of his house in Pocantico is
magnificent pair Of elk horns, and he
has bear skins that once were the prop
erty of animals that fell before ms
prowess, and many other relics. But
he is now nearly seventy. and 1t is
hardly probable that he will ever again
hunt ANYTHING more deadly than a can
didate to whom he is opposed.

days Perhaps they might as well be

days Perhaps they might as we'll be
omitted now.
But the jack-o'-lantern is one of the
most beautiful works of art possible to
imagine. 1t is made by scooping out
fine large pumpkin after cutting off one
end for a lid. A face is then carved
on one side-a horrible face with wide
grnning mouth and row of big, por-
tentous teeth. These amiable features
are cut nearly through. but so as to
leave thin film of the pumpkin shell
unbroken. Put short lighted candle
inside, clap on the lid,-and the result
at night is fine open countenance
blazing ferociously from eyes and
mouth and nose.
There are a good many of the old
country Halloween games that are
well adapted for indoor use by lads and
lasses who don't bother their heads
about marriage as yet. Ducking for
apples is one of the funniest. A big
tub of water is set on the floor and
apples are tloated in it. The trick is to
pick up one of the apples with the
teeth, which is almost impossible if the
apple is big one.
Snap dragon is really a Halloween
game, though Christmas has borrowed
it, along with many other good things.
