Vermont Sheep in Australia.

Frank G. Carpenter, the around
the-world correspondent, in writing
from Sydney, describes Australia as
the wool center of the world, with
more than 100,000,000 sheep which
produce wool to the value of over
100,000,000 a year, and incidently
he pays a great compliment to the
Vermont sheep whose praises he heard
everywhere. The king of shepherds
is Samuel McCaughey, an Irishman
who went to Australia in 1856 with
practically nothing, but who owns
to-day more than 100000 sheep.
He owns more acres then sheep, and
also leases 100000 acres. One of
his rams took a premium at recent
sheep show, having a fleece that
would cut 45 pounds, and he refused
an offer of $4,000 for the animal.
MIR, McCaughey believes that the
best rams for Australian sheep are
those from Vermont. There is a large
Importation of such sheep every year,
and there are Americans who make a
business of taking sheep across the
Pacific to Australia for sale. They
choose the finest and best bred YER
mont merinos, ship them to Puget
sound, and thence by steamer to Sgd
ney. Several shipments have been
made around the Cape OF Good Hope,
but this is too long, and the sheep
sometimes die.
Mr.. Carpenter quotes Mr.. Nc
Caughey as saying that he first went
to Vermont in 1886 and picked out
120 ewes and 40 rams. The follow
ing spring he returned to this coun-
try and bought 102 more sheep in
Vermont. He now has about 5000
pure Vermont sheep, and has sold
many during the last ten years. His
first Importation, not including the
cost of sheep, is aggregated $45, 900,
but he thinks the results have fully
justified the expenditures. He values
his Vermont flock at guineas head,
and sold one of them recently for
$4,000, and has sold ewes as high as
$3.50. The chief profit comes from
the improvement in his own focks.
He estimates that by crossing the
Australian breeds with the Vermont
sheep he has added at least a pound
of wool per sheep per year to his
docks, or in other words has increas-
ed his product 100000 pounds. He
has distributed Vermont sheep
throughout his focks in both New
South Wales and Queensland
Beattleboro Phoenix.

RECOVERING DROWNED BODIES
A Queer Negro Superstition Shown Recently
at Fayetteville.

The Fayetteville Observer tells of a
queer superstition among the negroes of
that section in regard to finding the
bodies of drowned persons.
Two negro girls We're drowned in the
Cape Fear there last Sunday afternoon
and large crowd Of people assembled
on the bank to assist lin recovering the
bodies. The Observer adds: -
1.-THE negro superstition exhibited it
self here in marked degree. When the
search for the bodies began, a bundle
of straw was procured and thrown in
to the river, with the firm belief that
the straw would sink just over the body.
The straw floated down the stream
about hundred yards and sank, and the
negroes at once set up shout that the
body had been found. Sure enough the
body was found just where the bundle
of straw sank. The crowd then went
wild. Their superstition was confirmed.
This method failed to locate ,the other
body, however and another superstition.
was brought into play. They procured
lot of childs clothing and threw it in
the river, claiming that it would sink a,
the spot where the body was, in the
same manner as the straw did in the
first instance. The failure Of this plan,
however, did not seem to dampen their
belief in the least, and they made all
manner of excuses for it's failure"
About o'clock Tuesday morning the
lost body was found lodged in the limb
of a, tree two miles below the scene of
the disaster.

Able Editorials on the Late President.

Greensboro Christian Advocate.)
The secular press of our State has
shown great respect for Mr.. Mckinley.
Since he received the fatal wound on
September 9th, the papers of all politi-
cal parties have spoken in the highest
praise of his character and administra-
ton. Many of these articles have been
of very high order. They breathed
spirit. of real devotion and true loyalty
and also possessed literary merit.
The editorial in the Raleigh News and
Observer of Saturday September ID,
written by the editor, Hon. Josephus
Daniels, under the head of 1.-THE Death
of Mr.. Mckinley is not only finely
written, but is a splendid tribute to a
good man. We have seen nothing that
equals it. We were greatly impressed
with it's merit when we read it, and
made use of some Of the facts it con-
tanned in preparing notice of him.
Since then, we have heard others speak
of it in unmeasured praise, and we are
sure it deserved all that was said. We
wish all our people, and especially our
young men would read it.

The Seaboard Air Line has made every
arrangement for the quick handling of
berries, melons, fruits and vegetables
which may be grown along the line east
of Hamlet without regard to the size
of shipment. Their object is to stimu-
late the growing of these products for
which our lands are so we'll suited. Such
Industries should be encouraged because
they are profitable, and when once our
people have demonstrated the fitness OF
our soils for such it would create de-
mand for our lands and bring untold
wealth into our midst. Other eastern
sections, whose soils are similar to our
own have been successful in their exper-
iments along this line, and there is no
reason why our farmers should not reap
some of the rewards Of such enterprises.
The time is soon coming when this coun-
ty will rank among the first in the South
in the production of fruits, vegetables,
melons and berries, and there is every
reason why our farmers should begin at
once. Begin of course, in small way
and gather experience along with profit,
resting assured that there's money in
It," and the first to begin will be the
first to reap the benefits.

HELPERS TO ORGANIZE.
New York Times.


Another important result of the recent
strike is likely to be the adoption of
system of self-protection for the classes
of labor not eligible for membership in
a body like the Amalgamated, which
looks after the interests of those rated
as highly skilled. AS the rule, helpers
and laborers have no interest in the
wage disputes of the skilled men, and
are very little better off under one scale
than another; but when few hundred
heaters and rollers decide to strike,
many thousands Of helpers and laborers
are expected to stand with idle hands
in empty pockets until the dispute is
settled. There is a substantial injustice
in such an arrangement, which is toler-
able only when the issue involved is of
sufficient general interest to labor to
warrant the sacrifice which the unskilled
are called upon to make. AS the result
of the privations suffered by the un-
skilled labor Of the steel mills during
the past summer, a plan is now under
consideration which contemplates the
organization of a union for the men of
these grades.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
/. ]. Bryan in the Commoner.

W. J. Bryan in the Commoner.
Theodore Roosevelt assumes the duties
of the Presidency under conditions cal
culated to call out the best that is in
him, conditions which will make more
ardent his natural desire to fulfill the
expectations of his countrymen. While
he was in perfect accord with Mr.. Nc
Kinley in regard to public questions, his
strong Individuality will doubtless
cause some uncertainty until his admin
istrative policies are developed. He en-
tiers office more free from political OBJ
legations than he could have done had
he received a party nomination after
long contest. Mr.. Roosevelt has high
conception Of civic virtue and his op-
ponents will probably find more to criti-
else in his doctrine than in his methods.
There will be no disposition to PREJUDICE
him, but an earnest wish that the gov
ornamental policies for which he and his
party stand may be tested upon their
merits.
