THINKS THE NEWSPAPER BUSI-
NESS OVERCOME.

The Sanford Express has been
making observations on the news
paper business in the State-the
proneness to inaugurate new enter
priscs of this kind and the tendency
to overdo the thing. 1t says:
There is no business in North Caro-
lima so overdone as the newspaper
business. and yet every fellow who
can write few illogical sentences,
set Il stick Of type. and raise enough
money to buy an old press and a few
fonts of old second handtype is
rushing into the business with poster
type advertisement to the effect that
he is going to publish "a live paper
such as the world has never seen
before. The result is he helps to
starve out the paper in the town or
county where he opens, runs his own
into the ground and leaves indebted
to everybody for failure of promises
that can never be made good. BY
this sort of tomfoolerv the best
papers in the State are cramped,
impoverished and made to lose
money. What has become OF the
foolkiller?

PEAVlNE HAY.
How Capt. Self Cures it Sound and
Bright Without Losing Leaves.

As this is the time for saving pea
vine hav the following method as
successfully practiced by Ruther-
ford county farmer, as published in
the Lincoln Jonrnal. will be Of inter
est Just now:
The value OF peavine hay is recog-
nized everywhere. but the difficulty
heretofore encountered in curing it
has somewhat limited the production.
One Of the finest farmers in the
State is Capt. /. K. Self, Of this coun-
ty, who has demonstrated the fact
that peavine hay can be harvested
and cured with less trouble than any
other. His success in curing it has
become known and he is constantly
in receipt Of enquiries as to his
brother farmers, Capt. Self on Mon
day kindly gave the Journal his ex-
periences in curing peavine hay.
Two wears ago he tried the method
as an experiment. He moved the
vines in the morning and let them
lie until the afternoon OF the next
dav. when. if no rain had fallen. he
raked the hay into cocks. The next
morning, as soon as the dew had
dried off. he hauled the cocks to his
barn lot and packed the vines into
rail pens ten feet square, having a
heavy man to tramp them in. put
ting seven two-horse loads to a pen.
On the third morning after the
vines had been packed into the pens,
smoke was seen issuing from every
creyice, and the vines were found so
hot one could scarcely bear his hand
on them. The smoke, or steam, con-
tinued to issue from the pens until
the fifth morning after they were
packed, then it ceased altogether.
Capt. Self naturally concluded that
his experiment was failure, but
when he opened the pens in the
winter he found the hay beautifully
cured. 1t was nice, bright, sweet
and absolutely free from mustiness
and not leaf fell from a vine.
Last year he used the same method.
with the same result.
Capt. Self says the vines should be
so tightly packed around the edges
as to exclude the air and the vines
should be weighted down and the
pens we'll covered. His plan is to
lay rails across the top of the pen and
top this off with straw.

the Practical Farmer, published at
Philadelphia. 1t has a corps of writ
ers, who are in fact practical farmers,
among them Prof. w. +. Massey, of
our State, who As authority on all
subjects pertaining to farming in the
South, has no equal. 1t was by his
advice that | made the following sue
cessful experiment with peavines last
season:
NV peas were sown late after har-
vest, and were not ready to cut until
late in the fall when the days were
short and the sun not SO hot for cur
ing. moved the vines when there
were a few grown peas on them, be-
ginning after the dew was off in the
morning. The next afternoon | raked
them in wind rows. The next after
noon | put them in shocks and began
hauling into barn next day. being
careful not to haul them when there
was any dew. There were no weeds
or grass in them and they looked as
if they were only wilted little. or
course they were heavy to handle.
| put them in an open log barn
loft. Did not tramp them any as
they were green and settled down
close. In day or two they began to
heat and continued to smoke and
sweat for several days. During this
period they must not be handled or
they will surely spoil.) Most farm
ers would conclude that the hay was
going to heat and unless they went
to work in it and scattered it out it
would spoil. But it is right here
they spoil it themselves. for during
that heating process if it were not
moved or handled any, it would come

THE GREAT OMAHA EXPOSITION.
Reached by the Famous Missouri
Pacific Railway.

We know some folks who are preparing
to 60 to the Omaha Exposition, and are
worrying over how to get there. Well.
that's easy. There are roads and roads and
still more roads, but there is little room for
controversy as to which is the best to take
to go.
The Missouri Pacific affords the best
means of getting to the grounds when you
are in Omaha. as well as the best means of
reaching the city.
There are many roads running into
Omaha, and the best Of these has earned a
most enviable distinction. In the course
of its public service almost every railway
obtains, in some manner, nickname of
some kind, either from the operatives or
from the travelling public; and the one be-
slowed by the men who travel is pretty
likely to be aptly indicative of some promi-
nent feature of the road. The best line YOU
can take to Omaha is known as The Old
Reliable" the Missouri Pacific Railway.
The general manner in which the affairs of
this road are administered. the wav in
which the road is kept up and the general
conduct of its business call forth the adj
miration and unstinted commentator of all
who travel over it,
Once in Omaha, you take the "Mo. Pac."
trains from the Webster Street Depot, and
they'll land you right at the grounds. No
trouble, no worry, no crowd, the best posi-
BILE service.
Upon the grounds ample terminal facili-
ties have been provided, and there is
neither delay nor confusion in the transfer
of passengers, for whose convenience sta
ton has been erected on the grounds.
The railroad and terminal building is
situated at the northern end of the EXPOSE
ton grounds.
Omaha has fully met the expectations of
the most sanguine, and proved her claim to
being one Of the most prosperous and enter
prising cities of the West
The great Trans Mississippi International
Exposition is now an existent fact. The
nnrivaled exhibition of the arts of the
West, its inexhaustible resources. its manu-
features and its products will continue until
November in a grandeur of display never
seen in the West before.
International, is it? Well. sure. There
are all kinds of foreigners there. And they
run foreign villages, too. And the whole
thing is, emphatically, worth seeing
There IS an opportunity for unlimited
enjoy ment at the Omaha Exposition, and if
you fail to go, You will have the omission
as one of your chief regrets.

"A nAN'S WORD SHOULD BE HIS
BOND"

In the good old days maybe this
was sO-a man word was as good
a his bond But not so now. mOre's
the pity. What a glorious world this
would be and how much Of worry
and anxiety would be dispensed with
ifeverv man had implicit confidence in
his fellow man and that confidence
were never abused These thoughts
are suggested by an article in the
Salisbury sun, under the above
heading, a. follows:
4 mans word should be his bond.
Nothing is truer and nothing would
restore confidence between man and
man more readily or surely. The
habit Of contracting debts making
bills-with no intention to pay them
seems to grow with the increasing
are This is matter Of regret, and
vet it appears TO be true. Debt
paving is a principle Of honor as
much as any other principle and no
true or honest man can fail to pay
his bills, if it is possible for him to
do SO.
y man, promise to pay then
should he "a good as the payment
itself Meeting financial obligations
should be encouraged. The pastors
should insist upon it from the pulpit.
The great leaders Of the day ought
to incucate the idea into the people.
1t should be taught in our schools.
1t should be the aim Of every good
man 1t should be a badge Of honor.
This would certainly bring about a
better era. The question Of paving
debts is, indeed. an important one.
1t is radically and most positively
wrong to cheat a man out Of his
money.
Too many people enter into this
matter lightly and look upon debt
making as a trivial sort of a thing.
This should not be the case. When
debt Of any kind is made the party
making it is morally bound to pay 1t
if he can, and the debt should not
be made when there is no possible
way to settle it. We urge that peo-
pie going in debt make an honest
effort to pay the liability.
