The present election law is
calculated to confuse voters. The
last legislature wanted to make
a law to compel voters to vote a
straight ticket, and force the
Democrats and Populists out of
business or get together under
one name. This they thought
would force many Populists who
were formerly Republicans back
into that party but the scheme is
not working and men will con-
tinue to vote as they please. You
cannot expect very much of aleg-
islature that elected Burton SEN
ator.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

Many men say: IF l had a million
dollars | would endow this college," or Il
would build that Observation-Disclosures
neglecting the generous thing they might
do by saying what they would do if they
have millions. They are mistaken The
man who does not give "as the Lord has
prospered" him would not give if he had
Rockefellers wealth The duty to give
rests as heavily upon the man who can
give ten dollars or $500 as upon the man
who can endow a great college.
Recently Mr.. E. NJ Armfield, a success
full banker Of High Point, endowed a
scholarship at the University. He is one
of the younger men of the alumni and bids
fair to become rich man, but he does
not wait until he can give his thousands
and ten thousands but puts the advan-
tages of a college education within the
reach of one young man every year by
the wise use of his present gift.
Mr.. Armfield sets a good example to
alumni of all our colleges and universities
an example that we hope many will
follow.

THE TRUSTS OWN THE PARTY,

Ex-senator Chandler has been rather
quiet of late until he got into trouble
with Fighting Bob Evans Since that
episode, he has re-entered the public
arena. In a recent article on Trusts he
noints out that trusts are great mem
ace to the national welfare. and he con-
tends that it is the duty of New Jersey.
the State which created the Steel Trust,
IN reneal it's charter. He writes vigor-
ous,v against trusts, and then drops into
nolitics. He says that the Democratic
party will do nothing against trusts and
that all if ever cared for was to dis
franchise the negro in the South and
despoil New York by Tammany. of the
Republican party he hopes that 1T will
continue to be the party of the people
and not degenerate into mere ensiaVeo
organization, owned by the money power
of America and Europe"
If the Republican party is the enemy
of trusts they will be crushed. Ihey are
in power in New Jersey, the birthplace Oh
most trusts. and they have a term OF
nearly four years in the national gov
eminent. They can repeal the charters
in New Jersey if they are in earnest
they can take away the tariff bonus
without which many trusts could not
live; they can enforce the antitrust
laws; they can make new or stronger
laws. and prosecute trust magnates. VIII
they do any of these things? VI course
not. While the Democratic record is not
as good as it ought to be, the Republican
party is responsible for the trusts Ihey
own the party and nobody knows IL petter

THE OFFER LINCOLN DIDN'T MAKE

To the Editor: Referring to an article
| recently wrote showing that at the
Hampton Roads Conference, Mr. Lincoln
made no offer of any terms to the South
except unconditional submission, 1 wish
to add a word which doubtless will be OF
interest to some of your readers. AL
though Mr.. Lincoln offered no terms at
the conference, yet he took the subject
under consideration, and as far as Mr..
Lincoln was personally concerned, Presi-
dent Davis purpose in proposing and
having that conference was not without
effect. Mr.. Lincoln returned to Washing
ton animated by the purpose to close the
war, if possible, without further blood
shed, and to save the millions OF dollars
expended in carrying it on. He spent
whole day in considering the subject and
on the evening of February 5th, called
his cabinet together to lay his Ideas be-
fore them He submitted to his cabinet
a message to Congress-in which he asked
Congress to pass resolution authorizing
him to offer to the South four hundred
millions of dollars; one-half to be paid
banded, if done by April LIST, and the
other half to be paid when the constitu-
tional amendment abolishing slavery was
adopted, If done by July 1st.
The cabinet however unanimously OBJ
jected. The subject was then dropped and
never afterwards brought up. In an ar
tcle published in the New York Tribune,
September 18th, 1885, Secretary Usher
first made this matter known to the
public He said The members of the
cabinet were all opposed to it. Mr.. Lin
coin seemed somewhat surprised at that
and asked, How long will the war last?"
No one answered. but he soon said, "a
hundred days. We are spending now in
carrying on the war three millions a
day, which will amount to all this money,
besides all the lives" With a deep sigh,
he added, But you are all opposed to
me and / will not send the message"
Secretary Wells in his diary said; THE

scheme did not meet with favor but was

The matter never was brought up again.

This narration shows that Mr. Lincoln
never made any offer of terms at Hamp-
ton Roads; but that he was led to con-
slider the subject; that he was anxious
to have Congress to authorize him to
make this offer of four hundred millions
for immediate peace; that the malignants
objected; that sorrowfully he allowed
himself to be overruled; that the matter
was kept cabinet secret; that it was
never communicated to any Confederate,
that it was only made public years after

was abolished. after the South mad
submitted Internationally, and had
come back into the Union, dare to oppose
them; and they impeached him.
Some people are in the habit of saying,
Had Mr.. Lincoln lived, thus and So"
The truth is If Mr.. Lincoln had lived, the
malignants would have dominated him as
they always dominated him. He never
antagonized them. His kindness of heart
led him one way, the malignants COM
PEELED him another way.

State the quarter sessions" a sort of
legislative court at Nashville, enacted a
measure prohibiting the manufacture or
the introduction of whiskey among the
settlers, because, as James Robertson,
one of the pioneers, who presided over
the sessions, expressed it, "whiskey is
the comprehension OF the bounty of Provi-
denee; it is unserviceable to white men
and devilish for Indians" This early
prohibition law, enacted about the year
1890, remained in force three years.

A FARMER WHO MAKES MONEY

H A friend in Richmond county. VINO
knows as much about what cohsti-
tutes a good farmer as any man IN
North Carolina, in a private letter teils
something about Director Grassland, of the
Penitentiary Beard, that will interest the
whole farming public, and the liberty is
taken to make this extract from the let
ter, withholding the name of the writer:
I'm your issue of the 18th it appears
in writing CT the State farm, that one
of its directors. w. f. Grassland, who
was appointed in consequence of his sue
cess as a farmer, has in cotton 200 acres.
The public may readily conclude that he
has not been remarkably successful as
farmer He is 2lan who does not
want or desire that. he or his should
appear in print, but his friends wish JUS
tice should be done the new public SER
want, and as friend and neighbor | Will
make a statement. In 1879 w. e. Cross
land and w. l. Everett bought a tract
of land /, 800 acres, that year, they Guilt
waited about 200 acres, ran eight plows.
They under the immediate management
of Mr.. Grassland. have increased the
size of their farms to $500 acres; of this
$500 acres is in cultivation of which .
900 is in cotton, using 92 mules on these
farms. This has been done without any
additional capital to that first invested,
as above stated, and the profit accruing
from these farms. These lands, naturally
poor, though with a good clay subsoil,
have been brought up to good state of
cultivation and with even ordinary sea-
sons, they would have produced l,5O0
bales of cotton, with corn, oats and wheat
sufficient to run these farms the present
year"
