OF course, the deportation or emigra-
tlOn of the negroes from the south would
be q great calamity to it, The conse-
Quence would be so far disastrous that,
If the negroes should organize any eX-
tensive movement TO leave the south,
there would arise forthwith a general
cry of alarm, and the whites would or
ganize on their part to prevent the exc
cution of the project, even to the extent
of using violent measures. Southern
negro labor is cheap labor 1t is pecu-
liarly adapted to the conditions at the
south. and could not possibly be re-
placed by any other which would be sat

trades-unionism which affects labor else

culture in which ii is engaged chiefly.
Without it, the south could not hold it's
own in the competition with other re-
gions for its whole industrial system
would be disorganized.
TIE South, however. Is doing it's best
to kill the goose that lays the golden
egg 1t is doing all it can to destroy its
industrial advantage. In the first place,
the states where the negro population,
or the industrial population, is large,
have already practically disfranchised the
negroes or are proceeding to do it, That
is, in gross violation Of our American
principles of government it is discrim-
mating against them politically. and con-
sequently consolidating them in opposi-
tion to its policy as a distinctive class,
| It is a dangerous policy for the south in
| it's relations with so great a part of Its
| population and because OF its political
| relations to the rest OF tho Union. IT

handling it. Take bran of the latter
sort, mix 2 quarts of it to of oats, in
a large tin pail. Then get beef joint
bone that has some meat on it, boil it
in gallon of water and when still hot,
pour the beefy favored hot water into
the bucket of bran and oats, cover
over and let soak and steam for Is Or
20 minutes. Then feed it to the hens
while still warm. Do this once day
during the autumn months, and a
large per cent of the hens will lay
during the mOulting period, because
they will not mott at the same time
or be in the same condition of mOult-
ing; hence some of them will lay
when fed on such nOurishing food.
Corn should also be given to the hens
once a day during the autumn season.
In boiling the beef joint as above sug-
gested add a few potatoes, or an onion
or two, to give vegetable flavor to
the mixture. The return in eggs will
more than repay the outlay.-Ameri

Chicken Cholera.

Chicken cholrea, like swine cholera,
is very difficult to diagnose sometimes,
as a serious local disorder is liable to
be confused with the genuine cholera.
1t is very unsatisfactory to try to treat
them when they get pretty sick. 1t is
far better to adopt means CT proven
ton other than to depend too much
on curatives. The symptoms of chOl-
era will vary in different localities, al

right here. County Treasurer John

off of eight vines at $500 a bushel,

vine. He had no trouble disposing of
all he had and could have sold many
more right here in the city.

though everywhere is attended with a
violent diarrhoea and is rapidly fatal.
In every outbreak of cholera, the first
thing to do is to separate the sick
from the well ones, and at once
change the food, which should be of
the most nourishing character and
combined with some stimulant, such
as cayenne pepper or tonic like iron.
Iron is a great favOrite among pOul-
trymen who have been through sieges
of cholera. The old practice of putting
rusty nails in the drinking water was
all right in theory, but iron was need
ed in a more active form, which could
be supplied by adding sulphate of iron
(copperas), putting eight ounces of it
in a gallon of water, keeping it in a
jug, never putting it in a metal vessel.
With two gallons of this water add
one ounce of oil of vitrol. When this
is prepared teaspoonful of the mix
water, and is found to be most USE
full tonic whenever needed. AS soon
as the disease has broken out in a
flock of poultry all should be fed this
tonic, so as to enable them to resist
and also throw off the disease.
The symptoms of chicken cholera
are not very well understood by the
great majority of poultry breeders, and
it is quite likely that some persons
have the disease on the brain or in the
eye. This is so much SO that great
many will, as soon as they lose Fowls
by some unusual disease, attribute the
loss to cholera. We believe that many
fowls die and are carried away or
buried which have died from other di-
seases and cholera has had the Llame
for it, A fowl that has the cholera
has a detected sleepy and dropping
look, and is never seen plurning itself.
1t has a great thirst, and it's gait is
slow; it gapes often, and in some
cases the fowl becomes very weak,
staggers and falls over. The comb
and wattles turn either d pale color or
very dark, diarrhoea sets in, the dis
charge being either of a greenish or of
the color of sulphur and water, and
later on becomes frothy. Then comes
general prostration anil the crop fills
with wind and mucuous, the food is
not digested, the breathing is heavy
and quick, the eyes closed and the fowl
dies. An autopsy will usually show
the gizzard filled with dried up food,
or greenish matter and the crop infiat-
ed with sour mucuous and food. The

Buying Eggs In The North For
Matching.

Some time ago 1 promised the read
ers of this paper, says Ell. Friedlander
in an exchange, [ would give them
my experience with buying eggs in
the North. l am spending the summer
in the Catskills, within a few miles of
the very spot where Rip Van Wrinkle
spent all those years in sleep, but,
nevertheless, | will make make good
my promise.
Two years ago in order to introduce
new blood into my flock of white
plymouth Rocks, l ordered fifty eggs
from Missouri, all of which proved to
be unfertile. The same result [ had
with fifty eggs from Ohio. This spring
| ordered fifty eggs from Illinois, Of
which all but six were unfertile, and
fifty eggs bought of the most famous
breeder in Massachusetts proved to be
entirely unfertile. Now, l do not
wish to reflect in any way on those
breeders, but the trouble is that just
when we want to hatch our stock in
Florida, the winter is not over yet in
the north and eggs are not reliable.
If you cannot get the eggs you wish
nearer home the best and by far the
cheapest way would be to buy trio
or six birds, no matter what the price.
| started two years ago with ten hens
and one rooster, for which flock | paid
$50. but from this flock [ raised 200
chickens last year. All but fifty | sold
last fall, and this year | sold $500
eggs for Matching, and raised 400 birds
and all this was done on a lot look
800 feet.
AS to the best time of raising chick
ems l prefer the hot weather to- the
cold, provided you get fertile eggs.
The only trouble in summer is thun-
der showers, which often kill hatchers.
[ would suggest for the far south,
January, February, March and April,
and for the northern part of Florida,
February, March, April and May, as
the best months for Matching.

Hints on Poultry.

at any time when there is surplus
they may be sold at fair prices, but
to secure the best prices they must be
young and in good marketable con-
ditiOn, not too fat and not too large.
While if lousy hens did not lay there
would be but few eggs, at the same
time there is no question but that
hens that are free and clear from lice
will lay more eggs than if lousy. 1t re-
quires constant care to keep lice under
control, but by keeping constantly at
it they can be kept down.
- Warm, soft feed, especially in the
morning, is all right in the winter
when the weather is cold and the
fowls must depend largely upon the
food supplied to them, but during the
summer in nearly all cases 1T will be
best to feed whole grain. There is
very little occasion for feeding soft
grain, except when it is desired to fat
ten rapidly. Even with growing fowls
cracked grain will give better results
than warm or sloppy soft foods.
Young ducks should be pushed for
market as rapidly as possible now.
This is the season for selling to the
best advantage, and all that can be
got into a good marketable condition
should be sold. The later patches may
be kept from breeding. One way of
making money out of ducks is to have
a lot ready to sell when the season
opens With good feeding they can be
ready for the market by the time they.
are 10 weeks old, and will weigh twice
as much as chickens of the same age.
They bring good prices now.
When fowl becomes droOpy, or
even sick, it is better to coop her and
feed sparingly on soft food for a few
days, thus giving it a chance to recOv-
er, than to hasten a catastrophe by
dosing with drugs, according to the in
structions of some crank and poultry
journal space filler. i.
The guinea hen does not lay as many
eggs as the plain hen, though we have
seen reported statements in print that
Z they surpass all other fowls in egg
production They are valuable fowls
nevertheless. A fat young guinea is
gamey and savory table fowl, though
= the flesh is dark. Those who claim ex
cessive laying of guineas are mistaken
about it, or simply don't know like
>fllany others who write for the press.
In nearly all cases where a breeder
buys bird the purchase is made with
view to improve his own stock by in
PRODUCING something better, or at least
to infuse new blood, and even then he
wants something that will be fully
equal to what he has or Will
still further improve. Hence with
any of the standard breeds
for breeding purposes poor stock
is not wanted at any price. On
this account the fowls that fall below
the standard should be culled out in
good season, so that they can be fat
ten and marketed It does not pay to
sell culls for breeding. Send them to
market and only sell fowls that are
fully up to the standard as breeders.
There is too much Of a chance for
reaction to follow any other plan.-N.

SATURDAYS RAIN.

1t is practically impossible to estl-
mate the benefit of the rains of last
week throughout the county.
There were showers about through
the county for several days; but the
rain did not become at all general until
Saturday afternoon, when it covered a
large area. Reports received during
Saturday, afternoon, indicated heavy
rains, from Wright's Ferry to York
Vile; from Gastonia to Yorkville
from Catawba Junction to Yorkville
from Blacksburg to Yorkville; on the
Rutherford road as far as Beersheba
and beyond and down the Chester
and Pinckney roads for several miles.
"Old" corn generally is in pretty
bad way, and there is difference OF
opinion as to whether it will be bene-
fitted by the rains; but "new" corn
all about will be helped wonderfully,
and the prospects for cotton, which
have not been bad, have undoubtedly
been very much improved.

known as the Chester and Lenoir, and
indirectly to the cities of the state.
In regard to the matter the gentleman
referred to said ave met up with
Mr.. C. M. Kaylor, of Bristol, Va, and
Tennessee, who is Virginia and North
Carolina agent for the Virginia Iron
and Coke company, of Bristol, Tenn,
and he says that his company is build
ing railroad from its extensive coal
and iron fields in southwestern Vir-
ginia to Lenior, N. c., to connect with
the Carolina and North Western rail-
road running from Lenoir, N. c., to
Chester, S. c., and, when completed,
the company, by this line, can put its
coal into Columbia at very low price.
The proposed route will be very
short one from the coal fields to all the
principal cities of this state"
But still the entire situation con-
tinues in the dark so far as the people
of this section are concerned. There
has not been single word of positive
promise that any kind of deal means
change of the gauge to the standard,
or that the sale of the road will be fol-
lowed even by an extension across the
mountains.

TEaCHERs' ASSOCIATION.

Pursuant to a notice published by
Superintendent of Education Carroll,
about 40 teachers met in the Graded
school building at Yorkville last Fri
day evening to consider the association
question.
The assemblage was called to order
by Superintendent of Education Car
roll, who explained the object of the
meeting. Mr.. J. A. Barron was elec-
ted temporary chairman, and after a
short discussion by different members,
it was decided to 60 at once into per-
manent organization.
This permanent organization was ef-
fected by the election of A. R. Banks,
of Rock Hill, as president; w. E. Den
dy, of Yorkville; as vice president
and w. 4. Slaughter, of Hickory
Grove, as secretary and treasurer.
The matter of time and place of the
next meeting, etc., was left to an exc
cutive committee appointed by the
president as follows: John E. Carroll

Messrs. c. E. Dobson, John A. Barron.
No action was taken with regard to

to grow dangerously short until after
July 90, and some hold that with suf-
fcient rain there is still chance for a
good crop of hay from pease sown
during the first few days of August.
The quantity of pease sown last
year was greater probably than ever
before in the history of this section,
and with the splendid crops of hay
that were made on every hand, many
people thought that the supply would
greatly exceed the demand. If such
thing happened in any section the
fact has not become known, and it is
much less likely to happen this year
than last. The outlook for great
many farmers just now is that if they
fail to get a good crop of peavines,
they will be rather short on trough
ness"

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN

THE ENQUIRER has been making
considerable effort during the past few
days to get some inside information as
to the probable plans of the parties
who are seeking to get control of the
Carolina and North Western railroad ;
but without much success.
From a straw picked up last Satur-
day night, there seems to be proba-
bility that General Hoke and asso-
ciates, of Lincolnton, are somewhere
behind Messrs. White, Barber and
associates. This suggestion is based
only on the fact that General Hoke re-
turned to Lincolnton on Saturday from
a trip across the mountains, and while
on the Narrow Gauge passenger train
he procured copy of THE ENQUIRER
of Saturday containing report of the
proceedings of the meeting of the
county board of commissioners at their
meeting on the previous wednesday.
He took the situation to indicate that
the commissioners were about to close
a trade for the sale of 500 shares of
York county stock to Mr.. White, and
rather than otherwise he appeared to
be very much pleased at the prospect.
THE ENQUIRER's informant said that
Judging from the comments of General
Hoke, he was satisfied that the general
rather stood in with the hite-Barber
people and wished them success. The
following from the Columbia State OF
is another straw that seems to
be blowing in the same direction:

Just returned to the city, brings the
news of another railroad which prom
ises to be of value to the Carolina and
