Editor Poe, of The Progressive
Farmer, has brought out a paper en-
phasizing the backwardness of the
people of North Carolina as news.
paper readers. The proportion Of
papers circulated in this State to the
population is far behind the average
in the United States. We agree that
this is to beregretted it is evidently
not a good sign. 1t is due to the
fact, we think, that so large a pro-
portion of our population is litter
ate and the free school is, therefore,
the first recourse of the enterprising
publisher. 1t may be said, in pass
ing, that the failure to read papers
is not in itself such a great curse.
The human ace did get on very we'll
before the day of papers. 1t is very
probable that the reading of papers
so extensively has debauched far
and wide the finer susceptibilities of
taste. None who have formed the
habit will do without their papers
but if they could, and would replace
them for the most part with more
thoughtful literature, they might
register a distinct advance in culture.
One. tenth of ones reading is about
as much as ought to be- devoted to
current affairs. Let the balance be
giV0n to more SeriOuS and to more
entertaining reading. North Caro-
lima knows nothing of the curse of
the New York dailies. She has been
saved so far. The opportunity is
thus presented for her to actually
gain by her backwardness by guard
ing the taste OF her people against
deteriOrating literature. AS she
comes to read papers, let her be ex-
horted also to read books more

slavery the relation that existed be-
tween master and slave was so init
mate, that we might almost say they
inherited their ways, the voice, the
manner of expressing themselves,
their fondness of dress, or their
slovenliness, as the cas- may be,
from their masters family. I have
known house servants who spoke as
correctly as if drilled in a grammar
school, although they did not know
a letter IN the book.
Malingering, or feinging illness to
avoid unpleasant tasks, was exceed
ingly rare I have seen much of it
by white men in the army to avoid
camp duty, and by some to shirk a
fight, but it was exceedingly rare for
a slave to play off sick. They ap-
peared to think it not in keeping
with high life to practice this kind
of deception, but rather boosted how
much work they could do. Tt was
probably the highest aim of the we'll
cared-for negro to initiate his mas
ter and mistress.
The best days of the race we're
when in servitude to humane mas
tiers, when every want was supplied,
and all necessities we're looked after,
and bread was sure. Then they
were the happiest people on the face
of the earth.

correspondence Of h Progressive Farmer.
Give your COW peas a light work
ing if you have sown in rows. Run
ming between the rows with a sweep
will kill the weeds and grass and
greatly help the peas to stand the
dry weather.
A great deal Of corn on hill sides
and other places has commenced to
dry up or fire" If there is no corn
on it, the best thing to do is to cut
and cure it at once. 1t will be a total
lossif left until the oars are matured
enough to cut or pull the fodder. If
you have peas among the corn, they
will do better by removing the corn.
You can feed this corn to hogs and
get something out of it. This is a
good time to begin fattening hogs.
Sow some turnips for table use,
and stock too, is you can use them
to advantage. The turnip, like all
root crops, needs potash. We more
than doubled our crop once by using
kainit at the rate of 1000 pounds e
acre.
The Practical Farmer some time
ago said eff you want your hens
to lay early in the fall, confne them
on very light food for a short time
and then feed very heavy, and the
hens will moult at once" We have
often noticed hens that moulted early
would lay we'll early in the fall. Re,
member a hen can't make feathers
and eggs at the same time.
Now is a good time to put some
clay in your stable. The heavy
rains often put your stock in mud
and water this summer, mnt straw
or bedding is hard !, ge5 during mid.
summer. By raising the floor Of
your stalls above the surrouL ding
surface, the stalls will be easier kept
in order. The improved quality of
the manure will be greatly increased
il value. 1t is in wet manure and
mud holes shat all those annoying
house flies are raised.

4 DISGUSTING PIECE OF RUDE


Cities and counties the world over have
united TO do honor to the memory OF
Queen Victoria. Flags at haif-naSt IN.
Paris and throughout France tell now
national jealousy and racial antipathy is
lost 20 view when all with one accord
would show respect to the gentle lady
whose womanly virtues have held in low
ing allegiance not only her own subjects
but the world for over a half century
The expressions OF sympathy which
have come from the Dutch of South AZ
lrica and from the cities of Russia are
very striking and impressive testimony
to the universal esteem and affection
which this venerable sovereign has com
manded.
In this well nigh worldwide expression
of sorrow there has been one dlscordaht
note. and it has come from the iirst ana
greatest of American cities. The refusal
of Mayor Van Wyck, of New York, to
allow the flag over the City Hall OF that
city 10 be placed at half-mast was Il dis
gushing piece of rudeness designed to
please the Irish vote. And yet the native
courtesy of the Irish is so we'll known as
TO be almost proverbial.
The Bocr and the F'renclman and the
Russian-at a time like this can forget the
struggles of the past and the antipathies
of the present in gracious and courtly
expression of the sorrow and sympathy
which all the world feels, bat not the
dcnaGogue and Vote-seeltcr of an Amer-
hp
of JOY or sorrow. are TO he enlisted TO sub

The fair name OF the first city Of Ameri-
ca has received stain through the action

tion or the black mans children, and
they are not Jealous Of the black mans
success in life. They give him employ
ment. and when he is in business for
himself they patronize him. But Wheh-
ever attempts have been made in the
South to force the negro into Office. when
designing white men have marshalled the
blacks against the whites at the polls, the
whites have invariably resented and re-
sisted bad blood between the races has
been stirred, and in the event of clash
the black man has invariably gotten the
worst of it.
we say that it is interesting and sisnifi-
cant that a white Republican in the
South makes this frank and open state
mcnt to a Republican newspaper at the
North, and the Northern Republ cans are
blind. indeed, if they do not see the situa-
ton through the eyes of their Southern
brother The negro has been heavy load
for the Republican party to carry, and
the scheme to employ him for the purpose
of giving the Republican party control in
the South has miscarried in every in
stance. The Republican party will never
be countenanced in the South SO long az 1t
relies upon the vote of the blacks. The
Fifteenth Amendment was, to use a very
mild term, a stupendous blunder, and the
best thing that could happen to the Re
publican party in the South would be to
have that amendment repealed.

DAVID Il. HILL.

The Albany correspondent of .IeSlie'S

not responsible for the action of his
friends and VIII, in no way encourage or
co,r.enance Any such action The cor
respondent odds that Mr.. Hill is en-
crossed in his LAM practice, which grows
larger and more lucrative each year, and
that his intention now is TO keep out OF
poIit.cs and TO devote himself entirely To
lis profession.
What authority this correspondent has
for making such a statement we do not
know, but in any event we attach very
Little Importance to H. Mr.. Hill declined

every effort was made to get him to ac-

racy of this country calls upon any cit1-

is going 10 obey the call. Nj. Hill is a

If David &. Hill is alive and in good
health we expect 10 see him nominated

him triumphantly elected. We are glad
that Mr.. Hin has a good law practice
and we hope that he will be as busy as
he wants 10 be and that his practice will

y REPUBLICAN S VIEW.

The New York Tribune of Sunday prints
spondents in various Southern States on
the race problem. Among others. we find
the following from Mr.. Charles T. Lane,
who was the Republican nominee for
Governor in the State of Alabama during
the recent campaign. Although a Repub-
lican, Mr Lane says that he IS in favor
of the disfranchisement of the negro, and
adds:
My reasons for so doing are obvious. In
the first place, after an eNpcr ncAt OF
more than :. third of a century he cannot,
as = rule. protect his ballot, he can
neither withstand hri1ery nor resist fierce.
He has to be cternally watched. and 4

worth the sentinel. The negro is but Il

CURRENT TOPICS.

An innovation in latter day journalism,
or more properly speaking q return to
the old ways, is noticeable in the recent
issues OF the Richmond Times. Instead
of Differing the news from its tx
changes. as is universally done these days,
The Times is making news extracts from
them and in each instance gives credit.
No exchange is too insignificant to be
notived by The Times if it contains any
news worth reproducing.
This return to the old ways Will do
much to renew the interest once taken
in the news OF the different sections by
giving the proper credit 10 the author
and is also a return 10 the proper treat
ment of ones exchanges There is tco
much of this pliering going on amongst
newspapers and many things are palned
off on the readers as original which have
been copied from some exchange. The
interest lies in the originality of any ar
ticle. and this feature of The Times will
not fail to be appreciated lcth by its
readers ana its exchanges from which it
makes Standardization Courier.
1t is the greatest mistake in the world
not TO give full credit to articles repro
duced. Sometimes the very significance
of thu article is in the paper from "hich
it is taken. The Times is not sensitive
on this subject and we are much tlattered
when contemporaries take editorial ex-
tracts from our columns and adopt them
as their own. But a newspaper loses
rather than gains by failing to render
unto Caesar the tribute that belongs to
hin,.
Judge Wi1:tbanls of Philadelphia, fined
a pl.yS:c:a2 on Thursday who was a wit

cusly ILL., he refused to remit the fine, re-
marking. "A Doctors first duty is to
the Commonwealth, and it is better that
a patient should die than that the Com

that if he will go before the people on
