GOOD ADVICE TO NEGROES.

The Star of Zion, published at Char
lotte by colored men, urges all ne
groes to vote against the amendment
next Thursday. This is natural. Ne
gro papers advise negroes to vote
against the amendment and white pa
pers advise white men to vote for the
amendment, and most men of both
races will take the advice because 1t
is in keeping with the natural race
feeling.
The Star of Zion gives this piece of
good advice to negro ministers and
negro voters:
Let the negro ministers this Sab
bath from their pulpits and also race
leaders advise Negro voters to be or
derby and quiet on election day, vote
and go on back to their work. Don t
stand around the voting places in
groups shooting off your mouths in
the presence Of the whites, for it may
cause riot in which the big talking
Negroes as usual will get the worst
of the bargain"
If this good advice is taken, election
day next Thursday will be as peace
able and quiet as the Sabbath.

KNOCKED OUT PROH1BTIONIsTs

To hear the Black-and-T orators
talk about Acknowledgement, one
would think that they were the pinks
of perfection and fairness. But talk
is cheap.
When they made laws they not only
took two election officers and gave
the Democrats one, but in the terms
of their act refused to recognize the
Prohibition party as a party.
The present election law is not per-
feet, but no Fusionist can criticize it
because it is better and fairer in every
way than the dishonest law under
which they operated and under which
they permitted 10000 negro boys and
negro conyicts to vote. d 11tsatRN

LEAVE NO STONE UNTUREND

The outlook for a sweeping Demo-
cratic victory is all that could be de-
sired. From correspondents who
know the situation, it seems to be GER
tain that the amendment will be
adopted by a majority of $4,000. The
State ticket will have about the same,
while the Legislature will have a
three-fourths majority III both
branches.
This news ought to be gratifying
to every white man in North Carolina,
but it ought to have an even more
important effect, it ought to p
every white man TO work 1or INC

ed before in a political campaign.
1t is not enough tEat the alachc-
ment must be adopted. 1t must De
adopted by majority so large and so
overwhelming as to silence all ooJec-
TORS. and show that it is the dellber-
ate purpose of North Carolina to hon

the bulk of the unfit negro vote, to
the end that the State can have peace.
The advocates of The amendment
appeal to every white man IN the
State to join his neighbor in voting
for the amendment, the only method
by which the menace OF negro rule
can be permanently removed. 1t is
to be hoped that not only hundreds
but thousands of men Of other parties
will unite with the Democrats in the
great struggle to free the white voters
from the peril and evil of 4 large
negro vote that is always cast against
those things that make for good gov
eminent and better conditions.
Men and Brethren: Leave not a
stone unturned to make the majority
in your county so large that the whole
world will see how tremendously III
earnest North Caro)iaians are to rid
themselves from the body Of political
death.

THE BLOODY SHIRT AGAIN.

: The Philadelphia Press has resur-
rected the bloody shirt and is vigor-
ously waving it, making the wearing
of red shirts in North Carolina the
pretext for its partisanship. Here is
one sentence of it's editorial:
"Red-shirted Democratic clubs arm
ed with guns and drawing cannons at
tend the sessions of the courts and
overawe judges and juries and intimi-
date witnesses and state of terror
ism exists all over the State"
There is not word of truth in this

The party of lawlessness in North
Carolina as. in every other Southern
State, is the Republican party. Dur
ing the present campaign representa-
tives of that party and their Populist
!. allies. have melted their negro allies to
deeds of violence and outrage, and in
several instances vicious negroes have
I followed the incendiary advice of base
: leaders. In some parts of the State,
where the negro population is large,
as a matter of precaution, the white
voters who are nearly all Democrats,
have organized and adopted the red
shirt as their campaign uniform. In
no single instance have they com
mitted any act of violence. They
stand for peace and order. If the ne
groes follow the advice of their best
leaders and refrain from acts of vio-
lence, the men who wear the red
shirts will be the quietest citizens in
the world, but if they listen to incen-
diary advice to 'assassinate" and to
'sGoebelize" the Democratic leaders
then the red shirt men will make
peace after the same manner that
Buck Fanshaw quelled a riot in the
mining camp, and will send the riot
ers home on a shutter.
The Democrats of North Carolina,
whether they wear red, white or blue
shirts, have borne themselves in
this campaign with great modera-
ton.
They have not met violence with
violence or incendiary utterance with
incendiary utterance, but have met
lawlessness with devotion to law. They
have been prudent, forbearing, but
firm and resolute. Let them so con-
tinue to the end.
The Democrats by appeals to reason
have already won a great victory-a
victory that is unprecedented in the
annals of North Carolina. All that is
neededs is hard work to get all the
voters to the polls. With a full vote,
the majority will not be less than
$4,000. The wave is setting in SO
strongly that nobody need be surpris-
eel if the mapority reaches $4,000, the
figures that Mr.. Aycock has fixed for
month. "
The Democrats will not mar this
splendid victory by any act of law
lessness that will give room for the
: bloody shirt papers and orators to
repeat such calumnies as the one
quoted from the Philadelphia Press.
The Republicans would rejoice if they
could Faithfully infame the nation
with accounts of Democratic lawless-
ness. The Democrats will not furnish
grist for their Outrage mills"

1t is quite an item to keep the
dairy COWS comfortable during the
Winter, especially if they are to
keep up full flow of milk. Any
exposure to cold and storms tends
to chill, and as the animal heat
comes from the food, allowing the
animal to become chilled is to in
crease the amount of food neces
sary to maintain the animal heat,
and in this way lessen the amount
that can he used for milk pro-
duction. Mich cows require very
little exercise. 1t may be well
enough, when the weather will
permit, to turn them out a little
while each day in dry feed lot,
where they can have access to all
of the water they want. The fact
that when given the opportunity
they will move about but little is
very good evidence that it is not
necessary for them to have great
amount of exercise.
When it is cold and stormy they
will do much better if kept in a
warm. dry shelter, watered we'll,
and literally fed with good
variety of milk-producing food.
1t should be remembered that it
is only from the surplus food con-
sumed, after what is needed to
support life, maintain animal heat
and make up for the daily wastes
of the system, that milk can be
produced, and the more we can
lessen the food of support the
larger the amount left for milk
production.

FOR THE FARMER,
Homemade Scales.

A serviceable pair of hay scales
can be erected by any farmer near
his barn, in a short time, with little
or no expense. Procure straight
piece of hardwood timber 3x5
inches and I6 feet long; 3 feet
from end and I foot from other
end; on one of its 3-inch edges
mortise holes and insert in each a
leg, made of 2x4 and 2H feet long
Next procure hardwood post E
feet in length; in one end cut out
a notch wide and deep enough to
permit the long timber to work
therein with ease; set posts in the
ground leaving 3 feet out; find by
balancing long timber on some
narrow surface its center; bore an
inch hole through it from 5inch
side, also through the two fanges
of notch in post; place beam in
notch, run inch pin of iron through
and secure by nut, holding beam
in position, with legs downward;
on the end having the leg foot
from extremity. construct a stout
box feet square, 10 inches deep
and with wide cracks in bottom to
drain off rain water, with the leg
in center underneath and fastened
we'll with braces, running from
this leg to the four sides of box.
On the opposite end of beam, build
a fat platform 6x6 feet, the leg
being underneath in center, also
we'll secured by braces from leg to
sides. Next procure some hard,
f1inty stones, whose weight will
not be affected by moisture. The
platform being slightly heavier
than the box, place sufficient rock
in the box to bring long beam to
an exact level. Now weigh exact
ly 100 pounds of rock and place
them also in the box. Your scales
are then ready. To weigh hay or
any produce that is sold by even
hundredweight, place sufficient on
the platform to bring long beam to
a level, load on to the wagon,
weigh another lot and SO on till
load is completed.-M. B. MITCH

If signs of moth appear on the
empty combs they may be fuml
gated with burning sulphur and
should be placed in tight boxes.
A very strong colony never gets
too cold to move slowly over the
comb. A little close observation
will readily prove this to be the
fact.
Bees cease breeding almost
entirely at the beginning of Win
ter, and it is exceptional if any
brood comb is found during that
season.
All unfinished comb honey in
supers should be carefully re-
moved from the hives and placed
away securely and kept clean and
bright.
Bees do not swallow honey as
some suppose, but place it as
gathered with their bills in their
honey sack, which is in front and
entirely outside.
If bees have plenty of good
honey and the weather is such
that they get a good cleansing
fight once or twice month they
usually Winter well.
One advantage with large hives
is that the bees are more content
and the large colony will get
through the Winter better and
make more honey in proportion.
Bees will endure very cold and
severe Winter weather if not con-
fined too long at time, but long
