The war or something else has inter- fered with the annual ruin of the peach crop. A Georgia expert reports that the peach crop this season will be the greatest in the history of the State, ex- ceeding even the big crop of 1895, and will bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars. The crop is now, he claims, safe beyond question, and the trees are loaded with large e-sized fruit.

The form of attack now reported is to refuse an appropriation to the State printing office and thus prevent it from furnishing books, and { cause return to the old system, under which the books cost the parents about forty per cent. more. Under the exist ing arrangements the text books are sold to the people at the cost of manu- facture and the money received is ap- piled to further supplies of such books, constituting what is known as a astext book revolving fund.-" which is self-sustaining except so far as a new book may be added to the curriculum. A set of the grammar school text books costs $6.1S and in Nevada, where school boards go into the general market for them, the cost is reported to be about double that.

BULL PENS vs.. MISSISSIPPI
ELECTION LAW.

We rather believed during the early
part of the campaign that the Demo
cratic machine intended to take steps
10 put on US a Mississippi or South
Carolina election law. A correspond.
ent takes this view of the case in this
ssue. The mocrats truthfully say
that the Constitution would have to be
changed, but Of course did they desire
this, it would be easy with bull pen
methods to get a majority to change
the Constitution.
But since investigating, ruminating
and ~cogitating, we do not believe they
want a Mississippi law. The old bull
pen method is 1892 and previous years
are better for them in that they can
then disfranchise whom they please
without saarii cling their platform.
Their platform, as you know, is "the
niger" With a Mississippi or South
Carolina election law the ''nigger''
would be out Of the way; their plat
form would be gone; they would have
to discuss principles, and they would
have nothing to hide their record.
With bull pens they can still howl
''nigger" and keep the laboring classes
divided; still raise smoke to hide the il
record still do the bidding of the gold
bugs and monopolists and whip the
silver men into line with the Niger
cry and wind up by using the bull pens
to put themselves in, and to the mo,
nopolists and goldbugs will ''be all the
power and glory forever. Amen" OF
the two meGhoGs we much prefer the
South Carolina law.

THR STA re- FAIR-WHo IS TO
BLAME?

Sometime ago the management OF
the so-cslled State Fair made some
nice promises and religious and secular
press, accepting these at face value,
announced that the Fair this year
would be clean and creditable. THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER said, when the
Fair proUes itself clean, then, and not
till then, should it receive the support
Of our State Board of Agriculture"
Well, the Fair was held in this city
last week and we do not hesitate to
say it was by all odds the most indie
cent and vulgar one we have ever

MUM on vice, filth and general wick.
edness, or the Fair is purged OF it's IN
cleanness, it should never receive more
aid from the State. If it must depend
On disgraceful side shows to keep it

will be better for the people of the
State and for the Fair managers. The
people of the State are too virtuous,
too decent to patroniz9 a fair, where
nothing is too much of a humbug and
nothing too vulgar or indecent to OBJ
tain admission, provided it pays a g
tain per cent. of it's worse than blood
money into the hands Of the managers.
As the Western PloWman said of the
Illinois State Fair managers recently:
"Some OF them are good men, excel
lent men, but others, it would seem,
have no more regard for decency than
a hog has for beautiful fowers."
If the Fair wishes the support of the
State, let it not insult Christian civil
ization by acting as if our men had no
virtue and our ladies no modesty.
We are told that the President and
also a committee of reputable gentle
men appointed to inspect the side
shows did all in their power to make
the Fair a clean one, but there were
some circumstances over which they
had no control" The people do not
understand, but they as tax payers de
mand and we demand that this com
mittee make a full exploration and
give the names of those who are to
blame. Justice to themselves de
mands it.

THE EXTRA THAT NEVER CAMR.

The report published in The Pro.
GREssIvE FARMER and Raleigh Times
Visitor last week that Croatan Indians
and not negroes were the mes who had
the trouble with the white people of
Robson county was Unfounded. But
next day we noticed in the Whining
ton Messenger the following telegram
"a RACE RIOT
"Occursin Missis sippl in Which Eleven
Negroes and One White Man are
Killed.
NEW ORLEANS. La, Oct. 24.-The
Picayune's Forest, Miss, special says:
Eleven dead negroes, one dead
white man and n negro and three
white men seriously wounded, is the
result at this writing Of the bloody war
being Waged bet Ween the white and
black races in the Harperville neigh
borhood of Scott county. Several OF
the rioters have been captured and
lodged in Ill at Forest to day, but the
others escaped into the swamps. Large
crowds of white men are in close pur-
suit, however, and more names are
hourly expected to be added to the
death list.
1T is impossible to obtain a full list
of the KILLED for the reason that some
negroes were shot down in the woods
and hurriedly buried by the whites
where they fell. A member OF the
posse eaid that he helped to bury three
negroes in trenches, but neither him
self or any one in his C, ovid knew the
names and did not care enough about
them to inquire.
Governor McLaurin went to Har

Aycock, as you know, has been yelling
much over the increase in expenditures

4 He claimed that the increase for
three years of fusion rule over the
three years of Democratic rule was

only $2O6 900. Now there are just two
queries in this connection: Where did
the money come from, and what was
done with itG L9t US see. AZ to where
the money was secured, it seems that
the present administration was much
less partial to the corporations than
the Democratic. In the three years of
