AN OPPONENT OF THE AMENDMENT

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
After reading many of the pros
and cons on the amendment, I must
say the article in The Progressive
Farmer, signed CD" whoever he
may be, is by far the strongest ar
gument yet advanced. If, with the
light of this line of thought before
them, the voters of North Carolina
chain themselves and posterity we
shall begin to believe a free govern
ment of the people, by the people
and for the people somewhat vision
airy. 1t is too true, as Cd" asserts,
that for years" the State has been
preparing for a harvest of i~lliteracy
by neglect of the public schools.
You saw in the refusal to tax your
selves in order to accept your share
of the 800, 900 State appropriation
for the use of schools a false step.
You who didnot accept this ~profered
assistance must accept this amend
In0uG Oh Jake u0CIO0u dCGlOn against
it, and that early.
But doubtless the fate of this
amendment will be much like that of
the one prepared for Georgia. There
was less partizanship in the Georgia
legislature than was embodied in
the one which carried this amend
ment through to the people for de-
feat. In the Georgia legislature
when the amendment came up it
was not allowed to be withdrawn by
its friends, but was analysed and de
feated there by the decisive vote OF
1877 to 81.
Georgians took the ground that
prosperity of the State depends on
the education and prosperity of its
citizens. That the humblest co1ored
citizens are better off educated
and voting than disfranchised and
uneducated. They could not afford
to check the onward movement of
the foremost State in the South and
by that decisive action stamped their
mark on a DISTINGUISHING constitu-
tiOnll amendment. e.

kidneys themselves break down and waste

Bladder troubles most always result from
a arrangement of the kidneys and a cure is
obtained quickest by a proper treatment of

Combination Truck.

Usually in stevedoring and railroad
work, where a truck has to be used,
the factor of time is the most impor-
tant consideration, and any device or
arrangement that will make the work
of the trucker easier and more rapid
is eagerly sought after. A combined
truck and carrier recently built pos
sesses these merits. At the end of
the usual truck there are two extern
sion pieces, terminating in handles.
These pieces are securely braced by
socket pieces embracing the base
frame, and tie-rod passing through
them to give greater rightly. This
arrangement of double handles allows
the truck to be dragged about rapidly
and conveniently and to be loaded and
unloaded with the greatest facility.

Activity of President Diaz.

Powell Clayton, ambassador to Mex
leo, on a recent visit to Washington
told story illustrative of President
Diaz' activity, despite his years. In
company with the president the am
bassador visited the Mexican military
academy. 1t happened to be the hour
of exercise, and many cadets were en-
gagged in the gymnasium. Rope climb
ing was one of the exercises. From
rings in the timbers of the roof, 40 feet
from the ground, ropes were suspend
ed, and up these the cadets climbed
using only their hands to raise and
maintain themselves. President Diaz
and Ambassador Clayton looked on fol
a few moments and then, to the aston
ishment of the American. the presi-
dent of Mexico stripped off his coat
took hold of one of the ropes, and went
up, hand over hand, to the top as MIN
bly, as any of the cadets.

Polite highwaymen" who have been
robbing right and left in Chicago for
the last few days have apparently TAX
en- the niche in local o-iminology for
merly occupied by 1.-The long and short
mel." All of the Chesterfieldian cou-
pies victims speak highly of their
polished courtesy and their careful
avoidance of the knock-down and
drag-out methods adopted by too many
rude, coarse and uncultured sandbag-
gers-declaring in fact, that it is al
most a pleasure to be robbed by such
courtly highwaymen. Theosophists
and students of the Hindoo cults will
probably assert that these Chicago
robbers are the veritable reincanation
of Dick Turpin and Jack Sheppard, but
the average citizen, ignoring the To-
nance and the TRANSPORTATION theories
will probably rejoice exceedingly when
the walls of Joliet finally yawn for the
daring footpads and their reign of ter
ror is abruptly ended.

AN AWFUL
INDIAN DEVIL. -

In the town of Strong. Me-, on the
route to Rangeley Lake region, lives
prosperous young farmer known
throughout the county as Lew"
Johnson. In his boyhood and early
manhood, before marrying and set
Ting down to tilling the soil. he
lived much in the woods. numbering,
hunting, surveying timber and gath
ering spruce gum. On his recent visit
to the Boston sportsman's show, he
was looking at the big stuffed panther
in one of the Canadian exhibits when
he was asked if such beasts are now
to be found in Maine. The animal in
question was a big wildcat whose
weight, when alive, must have been
$50 pounds, 1.-the and slender in body,
but with enormously developed quar-
tiers and wide paws armed with ugly
looking claws. the whole making a
"critter" not to be despised even by a
well-armed man.
Whether there are such cats as
that fellow in the Maine woods now or
not, 1 can't say" replied Johnson, but

To the work-wearx r1ow Horse.


Alas, poor horse! How few are your
days and how manifold your miseries!
When joyful June time sees your ad-
vent into this sphere of usefulness"
and the farm boy halls you with de-
light, how suspicious the season, how
fresh the air; but how long and weary
are the hours when mamma is away
at work and how sweaty she is when
she comes back and you hungrily
suckle at her over-heated udder! How
badly that milk agrees with you, to be
sure! 1t makes. your little stomach
ache, and after a while you are
ashamed to look at your scattered,
scurfy skin in the pelucid water Of the
drinking. trough which was washed
out when mamma was a colt. How
proud you are when in the cool dewy
morning you are allowed to accom-
pany your weary parent on a trip to
town! But, oh, what a difference
when the noon-hour comesi Your
poor little body is all wet with sweat;
the kinks are all gone from your tail
and your baby joints and muscles are
all tired out. What bliss it is when
the kind farmer allows your dam and
you to roam unheeded the pastures
fresh and green and the milk is just
to your taste and full of nourishment.
But how awful it is when the day
comes for you to be separated from
your doting mamma, and soon the cold
snow comes, and you cannot tell folks
just how fearfully it hurts your ten
70 fhn-n TIT
like ears of corn and how difficult 1t
is to swallow that rusty straw, woody
fodder and wirey hay. How terribly
the billiards blow in at the cracks
and crevices of the old tumbledown
she'd in which you are sheltered and
how the ice water chills your young
blood until with all these varied trials
it is little wonder that in spring you
look like shadow and envy the Jer-
sey heifer that has been well fed all
winter because it is going to be a
money winner soon while you have
just to struggle up any old way.
And so it goes from year to year
until, at last, they break" you to work
and almost break your ribs at the
same time, just because you neither I'M
derstand nor appreciate all in min
ute the fearsome heavy things they tie
you to with skin-chafng, ill-fitting
harness. How sore is your poor neck
and the red spots upon your shoul-
ders show how the collar gals! How
strange your feet feel after having
been cut, rasped. burned, thrust
through withsnails and weighted down
with great iron shoes! How harsh it
seems to you after working faithfully
in the dusty fields to be left at the
noon hour with the harness upon your
perspiring back while the owner
washes himself. cools on, has a de-
licious drink of ice-cold well water,
and then generous meal. But you.
poor beast, have to tackle the same
old hay you left there in the morning
and half masticate few hard ears OF
corn which only seem to heat your
blood more and more and make you
less able for the. afternoons labor.
How you long for night to come, and
then how uncomfortable 1t is after all
