There haA been wild dog in Morrill,
for the past six months and many are

The school trustees OF Dist. 80 laid out
several dollars beautj1ying the grounds.
when the district was several hundred

In District 26 there is i'll feeling in re-
gard to building a new schooltouse.
This district is alao in debt, and it
seems that a majority voted not to
bond the district, and the minority
are talking of a special meeting to
vote GU the proposition again. 1t ia
matter of opinion, as to what is right in
this case. Some people think that pros
perity is laying around in chunks, while
Others think that III the midst of life
there is death, and with a true sense of
business enterprise, refuse to pile up the
debt higher.
It is eaid that J A. Mowan has been
employed to teach the school in District
80. This may ur may not be true. but
if true We believe it to be mistake. The
majority OF parents here would prefer a
female teacher, as the school il composed
mostly OF small children. but II q man
teacher must be employed, MIR. NJ. is the
proper one, as he is conceded by all to
be good teacher, and will deal in The
school alike with friend and foe.

BRYAN's VIEWS OF THE OHIO DEMOC,
RACY

The Progressive Farmer printed
last week a report Of the recent Ohio
Democratic Convention. Speaking
Of it's work, Col. VIM. J. Bryan is
quoted as saying:
"The gold papers assume that the
convention refused to adopt the
Kansas City platform because it con-
tanned a silver plank. If so it would
have been o courageous to have
declared openly for the gold stand-
ard. If the gold standard is good
it ought to have been endorsed if
bad it ought to have been denounced.
To ignore the subject entirely was
inexcusable. The money question
is not yet out of politics. Every ses-
sion of Congress will have to deal with
it. Republicans declare that it is
dead, but they keep working at it.
If reactionary influences succeed in
Ohio or elsewhere it simply means
another gigantic struggle such as was
witnessed in 1896. The Democratic
party cannot be made a p~lutOcratic
party even if there was room in this
country for two such parties. There
vas a time, under the Cleveland
regime, when the party leaders used
general and ambiguous phrases to
deceive the voters, but that scheme
cannot be worked again. We can
not expect the voters to have conf
dence in the party unless the party
has confidence in the voters; and if
the party has confidence in the
voters it will state it's position on
all the important questions before
the country and invite Judgment. "

self as much pleased with the in
creased interest shown by the farm.
ers OF the State in the Institutes and
the work of the Agricultural Depart
ment IN general. He thinks the in.
fuence of the department among the
farmers is growing and that it's
efforts are being appreciated as never
before.
"And the institute problem" he
continued, els a very important n
with US. I hope to see the time
when we can adopt the Michigan
plan of having fixed places for u
institutes-some twelve or fifteen at
central points in the State. Let
them be an annual farmers gather
ing of several days duration, at a
fixed time every year. At such meet
ings, let delegates be chosen to a
general meeting of say a week at the
A. and M. College in this city. The
college, l am sure, would be glad to
entertain for a week all the farmers
who might come, for there they
would not only study and discuss
farm work and methods, but they
would become acquainted with the
college and feel a sort of proprietor
ship in it as their institution.
''This is a plan that has been pur-
sued in Michigan with a great meas
ure of success, and 1 don't see why
we should not adopt it in North Caro-
lima, if we a only get the farmers
to coming to the institute, instead of
the institute going to the farmers -

manded by the union. The leaders
of the union defend their demands
by saying that in the past the trust
and its subordinate companies have
constantly Disseminated in favor of
the n~on-union mills and against the
union mills in the matter of distribu-
ting the work, keeping the former
open and we'll supplied when the lat
ter had no work to do. A circular
will be issued at once by the Anal
gamated Association to it's men, in
which the full history of the conflict
will be given, and no doubt an au-
thorized reply will be issued on the
part of the companies, and we shall
hope to analyze. these presentations
of the issues involved next week.
We reserve further comment until
these official documents are issued,
meanwhile, repeating, what we
have SO often heretofore affirmed,
that it is equally the right of the la
borer to join the union or to remain
out of it; that the attempt to force
him out of it (by the employer) and
the attempt to force him into it (by
the union) r equally a violation of
the rights of labor"

This is but another illustration of
the great change going on in our

improved condition of our farmers,

they are diversifying their energies

great good to all thus engaged,
Speaking to the movement above
referred to, the Lumberton Robson

THE STEEL WORKERS STRIKE.
A Review of the Great Labor Troubles Now
Existing.

Existing.
NEW YORK, July 2O.-An excellent
review of the steel workers strike
is given in the New York Outlook of
to-day as follows:
1.-THE failure of the conference at
Pittsburg between the representa-
tives of the union workmen and of
the companies in the United States
Steel Corporation is a serious disap-
pointment to all who had hoped to
find in this conference a proof of the
feasibility of compromise and dis
cussiOn.
1.-The result will be a strike of
large proportions, how large prOba-
bly, will not be known at once, as it
is unlikely that the Amalgamated
Association Of Iron, Steel, and Tin
Workers (the title of the associa-
ton of employees will call out ali
it's men at once, while the p~ossibili-
ties of sympathetic strikes cannot
be accurately estimated. 1t is said
by those we'll acquainted with the
situation that from one hundred and
twenty thousand to one hundred and
forty thousand men will go out on
strike almost Immediately, and that
the number of non-union lei who
will be compelled to lay aside work
because of the strike will swell the
number of idle employees to three
hundred thousand. It is conceded
by both sides that no question Of
wages or hours of labor is involved.
1.-The situation, as we derst and
it, is this The United States Steel
Corporation, popularity known as the
Steel Trust, owns or controls six COM
panies each of these companies in
turn owns or controls several mills
the output of the mills includes tin,
sheet-irOn, and hoOp-steel, as well
as other products Of the general in
dustry. Some Of the mills involved
are strictly union mills-that is, nc
employee can be engaged by the en-.
plOyers unless he be d union man.
under penalty of an immediate
strike others are non union mills.
but in most or ali of the latter some
union men are employed, as the mills
are what is called 'open'-that is
the labor unions allow their men tC
work side by side with 0 unior
men
The Amalgamated Association
some time g succeeded in forming
"a tentative agreement as to a scale
of wages with the companies con
trolled by the United States Stee.
Corporation, but when it came tC
drawing up the agreement u dispute
tat once arose as to what mills should
be included. The AmHlgamated Asso.
citation insisted that the scale OF
wages should be signed by the cor
DOratiUn for all the mills, whether
uni n or non union. This the cor,
o ration refused to do. It consents
to deal with the union as d represen.
tative of the w~orkingmen in the
union mills, but declines to recog,
nize it as representative of. the non.
union men. To do this, the corpora.
ton insists, would be practically tc
force the non union men into the
unions against their consent.
cit should be noticed, however.
that though this might be the prac
teal effect, it is not directly de

THE IDEA.

Negroes to Be Excluded From Holding Office.
MONTGOMERY, ALA Jply l0.-A
good deal of enthusiasm was aroused
in the constitutional convention this
morning by an amendment providing
that only white men shall hold Office
in Alabama. Several able lawyers
made speeches sustaining its consti-
nationality. Judge Coleman, chair
man of the committee on suffrage,
said that his committee had ca efully
considered the question and believed
it to be constitutional. AS twenty
of the ablest lawyers here 7 on
the committee it set a strong tide to
flowing in favor of the exclusion of
all colored men from office. The
amendment was ordered printed and
lies over. 1t has assumed sudden
prominence as one of the e for
eliminating the negro from politics
and is growing in favor. Senator
Morgan first suggested it.

MORE TROUBLE IN THE PHILIPPINES.

MANILA, July 20 Revolution has
again broken out on a considerable
scale at several places and the Philip

adopt drastic measures to end the
trouble.
AS a result of a meeting of the
Commission to consider the situation
it has been voted to suspend civil
government in Batangas, Cebu, Sa-
mar and Bohot, and to turn those
places over to a body of troops under
the command of General Chaffee for
the severest kind of warfare until
peace has been established.

is Expected.
KANSAS CITY, July 18.-Generous
rains fell last afternoon over the
larger part of the corn belt of the
Southwest. The good that will re-
suit to late corn and to pastures will
undoubtedly be great. Scattering
showers fell over the Southwest last
night, and to-day but in most places
continued accounts of intense heat
we're reported. Reports from many
couties assert that to-day's rain, fol
lowing what little has fallen within
tue pastforty-eight hours will insure
at least half a corn crop and make
pasturage sure.

GLOOMY OUTLOOK FOR COTTON.
The Drougt in Texas UnbrOken-NO Signs
of Rain.

DALLAS, TEXAS, July 19.-The
drouth in Texas is still unbroken.
The heat to day is intense. A small
part of the cotton district received
small rains last night, but the rain
fall was confined to a part of Fort
Bend county around Richmond, near
the Gulf coast, and made no great
change in the cotton crop situation.
No rain has fallen to-day in the
State and there are no signs of any.
Cotton growers and cattle raisers are
gloomy.
