The executive committee of the col
ored insane asylum at Goldsboro in
their report state that for two years
the asylum has yeen over-crowded. 1t
has an accumulation of applications,
now, numbering seventy. There can
be na> remedy except IN Increased ac-
commodations." They say:
I'VE therefore respectfully request
clerks of courts, and justices Of the
peace whose duty it is to commit pa
tents to the state hospital at Colds
boro, to make application only for the
worst class of patients. and especially
those who are actually insane. We
have no room for imbeciles, the chronic
%insane( nor the epileptic insane who
are not dangerous to society. Papers
of the, state will please publish the
above for the information of the pub
lic."

During h state fair week at Ra-
leigh, on the 18th Of October, there is
to be a cotton growers meeting. The
chief design is to unite on holding cot
ton until a farther advance. Cotton is
now worth IL cents n will soon go
to 8 cents it is thought. A year ago
it was worth 5k cents. That means
very much to the great farming in
terests. 1t means $25 a bale more. We
hope good to the farmers and the state
will come out of the proposed gather
ing.

1t does not surprise any one that the
people Of that flourishing town Colds
boro, have no relish for the meeting of
the Mormon gang in hat place. and
the making of it their Headquarters.
TO have the Mormons in their midst is
about as offensive. to moral citizenship
as would be TO a fifty Mark Hannas
introduced into a convention of demo-
cratic freemen of sense and honor.
They pollute by their very presence
and represent the gospel of lust and
the dogma that lies at the basis of
Mohammedanism. The Argus treats
the announcement Of the plans of the
Polygamists with wisdom and discre-
ton, and concludes in this way:
Should these so-caIled Tatter-dav
Saints put in an appearance here the
Argus counsels our people to give them
no audience. neither treat them Sc
verely, but let them flock bv them
selves and in brief time they will de-
part to some other headquarters
Let 1t be the test of pride of cit;zen-
ship and personal virtue on the mart of
u people that they keep aIoof from

Ex-senator Ransom is now seventy
three years of age and is in retirement
on his great plantation. Every now
and then an illustrative story, new or
old, of him gets into print. He lately
visited Greensboro and The Telegram
gave a story we had seen years ago
about the difficulty interviewing the
wary senator when in the congress. The
Telegram says:
I'VE do not recall ever having seen
a published interview with General
Ransom. Yet he is one of the most af-
fable men in the world and Just the
sort Of man hat a live correspondent
would love to interview. How the gen
eral has managed all these years to
dodge the interviewer we know not.
But he has done SO and has still kept
on good terms with the boys"

In The New York Churchman there is
a Lullaby in three stanzas written
by Mrs. Margaret Busbee Shipp, the
widow of the gallant Lieutenant Shipp,
who was killed in the Spanish war, a
veritable hero. The last stanza re-
veals the sadness and longings of a be-
reaved and saddened soul. We give it:
Surely the God who gave you from

Takes you in dreams to His sheltering
love.

The Belgian Hare.

The Belgian hare is receiving much
attention just now from the American
people We have never seen ANYTHING
grow so fast in popularity.
1t has been but a few wears since the
Belgian was introduced into this country
from England. 1t is supposed to have
originated IN Belgium, but the fine
specimens we now have show very clear
ly that much has been done to improve
the native rs bbit of that country; becau. E
the native rabbits of Belgium, and ad
Jacent countries are very inferior to our
fine bred ones. This we believe has
been brought about by judicious breed
ing OF the best types OF the rabbit family.
Scientific mating of the best animals
followed by lovers of this valuable little
pet, has not only brought it to where it
now is, but it has inspired many to propa
gate it tor food.
Our English cousins have long been
raising them for food. Their flesh makes
dish fit for a king. This fact the
American people are just now beginning
to learn. and 1t is fact that but very few
at this day are aware of the value of the
Belgian hare, as food product.
We believe that the day is coming
when this little animal will be as popu
lar and plentiful in this country as
chickens are now. They are easily rails
ed and cared for, occupying less space
than our chickens, while their flesh is
considered by many even superior to
that of poultry. In view of the above
facts. is it any wonder that they are be-.
coming popular? We think not, and
only wonder why they have been so long
find ng it out.
A hutch. or house, three feet square,
will contain the doe and her young, till
the young are old enough to wear, and a
place twenty teet square will contain
forty or fifty young rabbits. till old
encug b to kill for market. They are
cheaply fed, as they eat much which
would otherwise be thrown away, their
food consisting largely OF weeds and
other valueless plants. such as plantain.
milkweed. dandt lion, etc In short, they
will eat anything that sheep will eat;
and in winter they do quite we'll on clover
hay, together with some grain.
California and Colorado seem to lead
IN this industry. and are producing them
in large numbers. On. firm at Wabash,
Ind. are engaging in it quite largely and
expect to produce million in wear.
They now have over three hundred
breeding does, and have buyer in Eng.
l,nd purchasing them for their rabbit
farm, which is located just out 1t the
citV of Wabash
The Belgian h1re has several advan-
tages over poultry. which is going to
count largely in lis favor. viz: Coeaper
Iced. free from lice, less liable isesse,
and requires less room These very
reasons enhance its value, both as pet
and as source of profit Colorado
