WHY HE WENT.

A few days since the News and OBJ
server announced that Mr.. Tom Allen,
the popular s. A. i. engineer, had been
called to Portsmouth by a telegram
to see the authorities. The fact caused
much comment and all were anxious to
know the business which called him
there. since the fact was regarded as very
significant in the railroad circle here.
Yesterday it was commonly reported
that he was called there to ask him A.
bout a race from here to Cary between
the S. A. L. and the Southern the other
afternoon in which, so this report goes,
the Southern did not stop their train
as the law requires before they went over
the railroad crossing.

DESPERATE CRIMINAL.
Once in Jail Here-Now in the State
Prison.

The sheriff of Arson county yesterday
brought a desperate negro to the State
prison. His name is Joe Began and he
is not unknown to the sheriff and other
officers of this county. Joe has served
on the roads here and has spent several
weeks in the Wake county Jail. He
was brought here last spring for safe
keeping since he was charged with Grim
inal assault upon white woman in
Rockingham. However, when he was
carried back for trial the woman, whose
work called her from place to place,
could not be found so the case was
mol pressed. He then went to Arson
county and was soon arrested there for
resisting an officer and carrying a con-
cealed weapon. He was released on
bond and while he was out of Jail ne
committed an assault with criminal in
tent upon colored woman in Arson
county He was tried for this offence
and sentenced to fifteen years in the
State prison. He is a truly despera te
character and the sheriff had a deputy to
assist him in bringing him to Raleigh.

Prof. Mccarthy Leaves for lthaca-lhe
State Loses an Able and Capabie
Man.

Mr.. Gerald Mccarthy, botanist and en-
Itomoogist of the State experiment sta
ton until the new regime elected an
other. left yesterday for Cornell Univers-
ity. He will devote himself to study
there during the coming year.
1t is a matter of regret that Prof. Nc
ICarthy's services are lost to the State.
He has been at work nearly two years
lin studying the diseases of cotton ana
tobacco, and the department has spent
more than 1,200 in the Investigations
and researches. Prof. Mccarthy would
have finished his work by July, and now
it is all lost.
Prof. Mccarthy had written contract
till July ], 1893, at 1925 per month, and
through his attorney, II. o. Burton. Esq,
has brought suit for the $3.50 that will
be due him.
When fitness, and not greed for office,
control again in North Carolina, such
men as Patterson, Battle, Bruner and
Mccarthy will be needed in the public
service.

SILiTIS
CAN BE CURED BY USING
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy.

For long time my son was troubled
with some bronchial trouble which every
time he took cold, settled in his throat
and produced something like tonsilitis.
The tonsils would enlarge and swell so
that he had great trouble to swallow any
thing, and could take no solid food. Last
spring he took half dozen bottles of
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy, and gargled
him. He has never had a spell since.

PREPARING RATlONS.


We have tried several plans of pre-
pairing feed for stock and have come to
the conclusion that it is only in eXcep-
tional cases that it can be considered
advisable to cook the food. Under what
may be considered average conditions,
the additional gain secured with the
stock will not pay fair profit for the
extra work required to cook.
With the dairy COWS, growing
calves and pigs, it pays to grind the
feed-corn, wheat or oats, as the kind
of grain being fed may be. With sheaf
oats, no matter what kind of stock they
are fed to, we like to run them
through a good cutting-box, and
then add small quantity of wheat
bran, and feed in this way. By this
plan there is little or no waste in
feeding and a very complete ration is
made up. But with the average teams
kept on the place, the growing beef
cattle and the thrifty, vigorous sheep,
there is no particular advantage in
grinding the grain. Even with the
classes of stock named, in a majority
of cases to make grinding the grain
pay good profit, feed mill should
be owned and operated or the farm,
as the expense and work of hauling to a
mill and back, with the cost of
grinding, will lessen very materially
the possible profit. Where any consid-
cradle number of stock is kept a mill
can, in majority of cases. be made

FREEDOM OF THOUGHT.


\ precocious small boy left at home
by his mother was taken in hand by his
father, who proposed with real mascu-
line tact to make a man of him" dur
ing her absence.
After experimenting in various ways
with but little result, he tried to slim
ulate originality and independence Of
form in prayer. The child recited the
Lords Prayer and Now lay me, after
which he sprang up to be kissed and
blessed. His father ignored such ex-
pectations, and said: Now that your
mother is away, my son, it is a good
time to show your independence of
thought in prayer If there is any bene-
fit you desire, for yourself or others. ask
God for it, He will hear you, and if it
is best for you He will send it."
The child wrinkled his brow and bit
his lip. Then, slowly sinking to his
knees, he cried out fervently:
Send me down \ horse, a bicycle, and
anything else you may have to spare,
dear Lord. Amen" - Elvira Flovd
