Young lola Renartee.

A commercial man was discussing
the mad dog scare with several men
in Harry Thomass lumber Office out
in Brick Town the other day. He
was very skeptical and expressed
himself strongly in the belief that
mad dogs were out of season right
now. "Who ever heard of mad dog
when the weather Is as cold as it is
now" he defiantly asked. A small
boy, who believes things, had listened
to the talk and at this stage marched
around and looked the commercial
man right in the face. "phis is a hot
town, mister" he said. And that
ended the argument.

COLOR VERSUS QUALITY.
why the Matter of Mere beauty
should BE a secondary Consider
alton 10 Bcc-Kecpcrs.

There has been quite a rage for yellow
bees, and breeders in this country have
catered to the general demand 10 such
an extent that bees Of the Italian race
are produced much yelloWer than those
found in Italy. But the tide seems now
turning and the demand is rather for
bees that give a large surplus than for
handsome bees. f.. II. Root, editor OF
Gleanings, says;
81 hope the race for color has had its
day; and while there have been several
specimens of bees hat have been gooo
workers. az well as beautiful, the ma
iorty of those we have tested have had
some bad traits, either in temper,
swarming propensity or lack of hardi-
ness for winterng. Let the matter of
color be only a secondary consideration.
Put first, ability TO get money; second,
wintering qualities; third, disinclina-
ton to swarm; temper nest, and color
last of all. But other things being

EGGS FOR MATCHING.
How to keep Them SO That the Germ
Is Not KILLED and the EEE Thus
Made Useless.

As to keeping eggs for Matching, the
incubator people remind us that the
yolll is specifically lighter than the al
bumen, and is buoyed up 10y it, and the
germ, which always lies at the top, is
only kept from pressing against the
shell by the weight of the denser al
bumen forming the chala2a. this hav-
ing tendency to drag the yolk down
and steady it. If the eggs are kept at
100 high a temperature, the albumen
wtll get somewhat fluid and the yolks
will be pressed upward against the
she'll and, if allowed to remain so,
will become fixed TO it. Any length Of
time and temperature that would re
suit in this would have killed the germ
and thus rendered the egg useless. The
more handling the egg has the quicker
this arrangement will be effected.
Place eggs for Matching in basket or
box with regard to position, cover
with cloth to prevent undue evapora-
ton by direct exposure to the air, and
leave them undisturbed until wanted
They will be better than if handled
and turned. Any cloth will give suf-
ticient ventilation to keep the air
around the eggs sweet if the apart

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Keep bees to make your honey, but
begin with only Few hives.
Strong colonies protect themselves
from robbers and bee moths.
Young queens, like young stock OF
any kind, are superior to old ones,
Bees are profitable because they gath
err up and store what would otherwise
be lost.

well to introduce new blood from time
to time.
The point in favor of the Italian bee
is that it is the most prolific and is gen
tie and energetic
Dry and warm is the rule in keeping
honey if you want TO retain its flavor
richness and color.
In rendering beeswax a tin, brass or
copper vessel should be used. An iron

Comb honey will last for years II al
ways kept dry and uniformly at about
80 degrees. Under these conditions 1t

Mailing the En1.th.

Geo. A. Fry and Josh Butler have
received from Hutchinson car load
of salt, 40, 900 pounds, which they will
use in Il new way. Both have ex
tensive farm interests which they look
after themselves and they propose to
sow the salt with oats, wheat and
flax, on the the theory that land so
treated Is given the chemicals re-
CURED by these grains and in the be-
lief that chinch bugs will shun the
fields. Some oftheir impractical town
friends have rather hankering for
the belief that wheat so treated will
grow loaves of salt rising bread. At
any rate the test is one which will be
watched with interest and the farm
ers may reap good returns from the
500 or more invested by these gentle
men in an experiment.

ONE OBJECT.

There is only one object lat is de-
sired to be obtained by this. amend
ment. and that is to cut of portion
Of the ignorant negro vote and pre-
vent a recurrence of such events as
transpired during the last campaign.
If did not believe this was best for
the colored race as we'll as my own
would oppose it, but | am fully con-
vinced that it is best for all that it be
made impossible for vicious colored
men ever again to dominate Eastern
North Carolina. Those who were there
during the last campaign know that

cial riot which seemed at times un-
avoidable. and if it had come would
have been bad enough for the white
race and awful in its consequences to
the poor deluded negroes. Such a

FIRST HOWL.

and the smoke of the battle has clear
ed away, and the negro domination
was rapidly disintegrating under the
advent of the sun of wh'te suprem-
acy, there went up from tho Republi-
can politicians and office-holders from
one end of North Carolina to the
other cry of rage against the negro
as the cause of the calamity which
had befallen their party.
Many of them denounced loudly
and persistently his mischievous
activity and assertiveness in politics,
and declared but for him their party
might have had long lease of power
and spoils. And while the Democrats
were vet rejoicing over their victory
and deliverance, having not yet taken
thought for the morrow, these men,
who had so recently consorted with
and defended the negro, raised a
mighty shout of ''Crucify him. Cru
sify him, He must be eliminated
from politics.." And they con,
tinued to cry out against the negro
and demanded his elimination, until
the politicians at the national capl-
tai whispered into the ears OF their
leader and representative. Senator
Pritchard. the suggestion that al
though the negro was Of no use to
their party in the South, it greatly
needed him in the North and West, in
many of which States he holds the
boIapco of noyor and that he e., O.
P. must at least make a show of car
ing for him in the South. that it might
continue to use him in these close
States. Gracefully bending to the
exigencies of the political situation,

profitable to spend 100000 a year
with two Philadelphia newspapers. it
ought to follow as II conclusion, that
because people know where you are
and what you have to sell, is no rea-

Ii it pays to advertise large busi-

Advertising must be a correct busi-

men Of the country would not adopt

afford it.
1t pays for the following reasons:
1t tells that you are in business.
the kind Of business you propose con-
ducting and the treatment the public
may expect from you.
1t builds up, from day to day. a
public sentiment in favor of your
business, and a continual reminder
OF any favorable impressions which
you may have made upon the public.

to exert themselves as formerly, to
merit custom.

Apleasantly worded advertisement.
like a pleasant person whom one
meets every day, is certain to make

An advertisement should be strictly
honest, conservative in statement
and persuasive in argument. II
should contain just what you desire

1t should be a plain, simple, straight
