Mr.. R. H Hayes was around recently
ipquiring how many negro constables
there are in the county. He was told
that there are none. However, there
has been one in the county who acted
as constable or deputy sherif-pos-
sibly that will answer their purpose.
There is q paper on f!e in the omce
of Clerk of Superior Court, here, on
the back of which is the following re-
turn:

This paper was served on five white

and on one colored man, Tod Forester.
Jordan Bray, who acted as D. s.,
under Spence Taylor, democratic sher-

that time an ex convict, just from the
penitentiary, we are reliably Informed,
not haveng bean restored to citizenship
and was, therefore, rot a citizen when

The Populists proposed to cooperate
with the Democrats to secure the fol

opposed by the goldbugs and monopo-

controlled by the goldbug monopoly
element, refused to co operate to secure
them.

bona hde employees Of railroads. Your
railroad commission should be pre-.
served and it's powers enlarged, but
the commissioners should not be al.
lowed to lower rates on one Of our three
great systems and not upon the main
lines at least of the other two. This
discrimination is repugnant to North
Carolina ideas of justice.
The working OF our dirt roads is sec.
ond in Importance only to the control
of our railways. Our convicts should
be made to work roads as far as
practicable. The necessity Of their
safe confinement and maintenance ia
evident. The penitentiary is not, and
has not been self sustaining. Its man
agement, both under Superintendent
Leszar and Superintendent New
boorne hes been good. IL the State
would purchase the Urquhart, or
Northampton farm, and the Caledonia
farm at the option price, nine dollars
per acre, sufficient provisions and
market crops could be raised on these
two farms to feed, clothe and guard all
convicts not let to the counties to work
on their roads. There are about mi
thousand convicts 10Y in confinement.
On the Urquhart farm are one hun,
dred end fifty convicts and eighty
horses and mules. There are in cult
walton twelve hundred acres in cotton,
one thousand in corn, two hundred
and fifty in wheat and oats. Corn will
average six barrels to the acre, cotton
three fourth Of q bale. Caledonis is
divided into two farms. No 1 has one
hundred and fifty acres in cotton,
thirteen hundred in corn, and three
hundred in wheat and oats. Corn
will average probably seven barrels
per acre, cotton IN account Of the ex-
cessive rains three.dtth Of a bale. On
it are employed about n hundred
and sixty convicEs and eighty five
horses and mules. Caledonia No. 2
has one thousand and fifty acres in
cotton, one thousand in corn, three
hundred and fifty in wheat and oats,
and one hundred and fifty in peanuts
It is worked by n hundred and
elk convicts. 1t is approximately COR,
rect to estimate that four hundred and
fifty convicts will make twenty thou
sand barrels Of corn two thousand
bales of cotton, besides a large amount
of wheat, oats and peas. The option
ON these farms expires within three
years. Their rental is fifty cents per
acre. The State has expended thou
sands of dollars in dikes, canals and
bitches, not to speak Of houses, barns
aad fences. IL taxes ought not to be
increased, four per cent. bonds could
be issued and sold at above par, and
the rental would be less than thirty
six cents per acre.. The farms are now
well worth twenty dollars an acre.
Unless released before the expiration
OF the present lease it is hardly prob
able tina they can be re leased after
that time at fifty cents per acre.
Tue betterment of our public schools
deeply concerns all of Us. The amount
appropriated by the State is insufficient
to maintain good schools. Supplement
that sum by local taxation and pri
vate subscription and we can have
good schools in every community
worthy Of our great commonwealth.
Trusting that the suggestions made
may result in good to you as individ
uaIs, aud Invoking unity of action in
all good works, / am,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN GRAHAM.
