THE editor Of a paper published at
Dunn was threatened with a boycott
because he supported Mr. Carr for
the Senate. Durham Herald.
And some men discontinued their
subscription to their county paper be-
cause it supported Simmons for the
Senate Not all the little fellows, in
tolera.t Of the opinion of others, are
housed in any one political party in
North Carolina.
A FINER tribute could not be paid
to the man than the vote received by
Gen. Carr in his home town. among
the people who knew him best and
esteemed him highest. The Durham
Herald says:
There were less than thirty votes
cast against Mr.. Carr in this town
and some Of these TO our personal
! knowledge were cast by personal
enemies who had good reasons to
feel under obligations to him.

Lighter shoes For Horses.

The wear and tear on horsefeshi
makes quite an item on the farm, and.
anything that will reduce this friction
for the farmer should be welcomed,
writes G. T. White in The Prairie
Farmer. 1t has been proved beyond
dispute that the average horse is shod
with too heavy shoes, and if lighter
ones We're substituted the animal could
do more work with less WEAKNESS
Heavy shoes have no particular advan-
tage except for large truck horses on
stone roads, where shoes wear out
quickly. Even in such cases it is doubt,
FIJI il too heavy shoes prove of any
value. Certainly for farm horses light
shoes are much more satisfactory. The
effects of such a change are quite no.
ticeable shortly after they are put on,
and in a years time the extra amount
of work that is obtained from a horse
will more than pay for the shorter
time that light shoes may wear. The
main object of the shoe is to protect.
the hoof, and the lighter it can be made
and serve its purpose the better it Is
for the horse. A good part of the year
horses on the farm would be better Oft
without shoes, and they can do plow-
ing and similar work in soft fields
without in any way injuring the feet.
In winter, when the ground is frozen,
1t is quite different, and shoes seem:
necessary at these times. A horse
weighing LOO pounds should general.
" be shod with shoes not weighing
mor than 70 to Is ounces each. If 4
ounces + added to each shoe, the to-
tai difference in the animals shoes is
16 ounces In blowing, cultiyating,
moving and reaping q farm horse will
walk from 10 to 20 miles a day. If it
takes about four feet each step, the.
horse will lift half a pound extra on
Its two feet or 800 pounds. in every
mile. II we make the average days
work is miles, the horse will lift $500
pounds extra a day, or nearly five tons.
The energy required to lift this amount.
is wasted and serves no useful pur-
pose. IL it could be expended In doing
extra work that would pay, it would
nearly pay the animals keep. Leg
weary horses are common on the farm,
and leg weary horses are apt to break.
down In time and have crooked and
afling limbs. It is not only a matter of
humanity, but one OF profit, to tighten
the horses burden all we can, and this
is one good way.

Returns From Twelfth Census.

Washington, Sept. 1T.-There have
been enumerated by the twelfth CEN
sus to date 11S cities. with something
more than 17.0OO,OOO of the inhabit-
ants of the United States, or less than
n quarter Of the probable total popu-
latiOn. This count Is confined to cities
exclusively and the percentage of in
crease from 1890 to 1900 cannot be le-
Ultimately applied to the whole coun-
try The whole increase noted Is thir-
ty-one per cent. while during the de-
cade from 1880 to 1890 It was less than
twenty-five per cent. In 1890 the to-
tai population of the country was Co.
G22.25O, but in that year the Indians,
Alaskans and Hawalians We're not in
cluded. Had they been the population
would have been increased to 03,21S,-
600. Counting these people In the pres
ent census will add materially to the
total, bringing 1t above 75,0OO,OOO.
The percentage of increase In the
country has been less than In cities
and 1t is thought the average rate Of
growth will he from twenty to twenty.
four per cent. Figuring on twenty
two per cent Increase, the population
will be 7G.309,145. Add to this the

ceived from Santiago or Mantanzas.
In Puerto Principe Senores Cisneros
and Silva were the only candidates, so
that their election is assured. 1t is con-
ceded that in Santa Clara the Federals
will win.
The NatiOnalists assume to be anti
annexationists, but they are moderate
in tone. More than one of the dele
gates, representing n majority in this
province are pro-American. Where
their personal feelings are concerned
and irrespective of politics, they desire
closest relations with the United States.
