A Serious Question.
Patron and Cleaner.

1t is now evident to everybody
that the crops in this part of the
State, embracing all the the terri
tory between the Roanoke and
Chowan rivers, are very short,
perhaps OH an average not more
than half an average crop. And
our farmers have more fertilizers
to pay for this fall than ever be-
fore, the sales last spring breaking
all previous records. Besides this
most of the farmers are heavily in
debt for supplies to make the crop
and that little balance of last
wears account carried over. The
puzzling question now is, chow to
make both ends meet"
1t will be long time before an
other crop of cotton OF corn enn
be made. The goods, such as
clothing, shoes, sugar, and most
all manufactured articles that
farmers have to buy, are advanc-
ing in price. Flour is advancing
while cotton, the money crop OF
the South, is declining. A serious
condition confronts us.
In our present condition it seems
, to us that the wisest thing for our
O farmers to do is to SOW clover ano
e small grain, which will mature
0 early next spring and somewhat
n relieve the strain. The world
l. supply of wheat is reported to b.
,e short and there is little prospec'
) for flour to decline in price. GU
,r lands are suitable for such crops
# and as we have often said, the

How TO DO IT.

In plodding along if the ahorns in your
track
Seem sharp, don't you ever say die;
Don't fall by the way with your heart in
your neck,
And say it is no use to try.
Though oft by misfortune your head may
be bowed,
Don't look upon life as sham,
But jack up your nerve and keep up with
the crowd
Toot your horn if you don't.sell clam!
A man who will sit in the game with the
dumps,
And show big shortage of of sand,
Will find to his sorrow that none of the
trumps
Will ever fall into his hand.
Though losses may come keep grip on
your pluck,
DON'T bleat like motherless lamb
| Make noise in the world if you never
have luck
| Toot your morn If you don't sell clam
The man who will weaken and throw Ut
| his hands
When the clouds gather over his head
Is Just the poor coward who we'll under
stands
What it is to go hungry to bed.
Present a bold front to your menacins
foes,
In the heat of the bittle be calm
And never say die till you turn up you
toes
; Toot your horn if you don't sell clam

Bryan and Silver are Favorites.

A few days ago the New York
World telegraphed to the Demo-
cratic National committeeman
and State Chairman of every State
in the Union, and asked this ques-
ton:
Kindly telegraph whether the
growing prosperity of the country
has shaken the faith of Demo-
Gratis and Populists of your State
in silver issue. Is their loyalty to
Mr.. Bryan as leader as great as
ever?'
For three days the World has
been publishing the answers sent,
and with hardly an exception the
general sentiment is loyal to Bry-
an and free silver. We give below
the opinions of the committeemen
from Virginia and North Carolina
| ''Lynchburg, Va, Sept. 4.

"The faith of Virginia Demo-
cracy is by no means shaken in tho
certain success of free coinage OF
silver. On the contrary, it is
stronger than when it voted solid
ly for William Jennings Bryan
Why have not corn and other great
staples followed wheat?
PETER J. OTEY,

ginia.

The sentiment in this State liz
: favor of free coinage Of silver is So
strong that the Republicans elee-
ted to Congress have to promise osl
the stump to vote for it.

A Sensible Negro.

Says a Nashville special: There
was quite an exciting session of
the National Race Council, which
is composed Of negroes, to-day.
w. H. Council, Of Alabama, was
elected temporary chairman, and
in his address said:
"The frequency Of violence to
women is alarming. We cannot

that they are not the trusted SER
wants of our Southern homes, nor
can we stop to appeal from Judge
Lynch to the majesty of the civil
laws, but we must stamp out the
crime.
"Sufficient for us is it to know
that these crimes are committed
, by negroes, to make us hang our
, heads in shame, and go in sack
