THE KINGS DAUeHTEBs AND THE
- REFORMATORY.

Cor. of The Progressive Farmer.
I did not see the article of Mr.. An
drews against Reformatories recently
published in your paper, but noted
last week your editorial and the letters
of Mr.. Fleming and Mr.. Miller.
To me it seems blot on the States
record that it has no place where
youthful criminals can be sent. 1t
Is utterly wrong that they should be
sent to the penitentiary or to the roads
to live among hardened criminals, and
as Mr.. Miller says, "to prepare them
for life of crime"
You may not have noted that at the
State Convention of "the Kings
Daughters" of North Carolina held in
this city one month ago, it was de-
cided to enter into some united State
work, and when the vote was taken as
to what, ga State Reformatory" had
the entire vote. AS a member of the
Kings Daughters Reformatory Com
mittee I thank Mr.. Miller and your
self for championing the plan, and
ask that you keep the good work up.
We women are very persistent, and
hope in the end to carry our point, but
we gladly welcome any help and en-
couragement. Of course, we look to
the men of the State to help push
along the plan, and I am sure we would
pledge ourselves to any amount of
work that need be done for this much
needed charity. Let those who ap-
prove of the plan "hold up the hands"
of the Kings Daughters who have put
their shoulders to the wheel and in
tend to have a State Reformatory.

The Owner Of Cotton, Oil Mill ct TarboEO
Makes Contract With German
Potash Magnates.

Norfolk, June 18.-F. S. Royster,
president of the Royster Guano Com
pany, has returned from Germany,
where he was during the negotiations
between the German potash magnates
and the officers of the Virginia Caro-
lima Chemical Company. Mr.. Royster
made contract for number of years
with some of the Independent potash
mines in Germany, and will fight the
Virginia-Carolin Company. He has
incorporated 100000 cotton oil mill
at Tarboro, N. O., for the purpose of
getting cotton seed meal to use in his
fertilizer plants, the Virginia-Caroli-
ma Company having bought up all the
mills supplying him.

SUGGESTION.
Cor. of The ProgreasveFarmer.

Cor. of The ProgresiveFarmer. g
We hope the next quarterly Alliance
will be invited to discuss the prevail
ing educational boom and the neces-
sity of organizing an orphanage or
training school, for Alliance children.
If the State will utilize the very suit
able property at Hillsboro for Re
formatory, the orphanage can be To-
Gated at Raleigh, or some other
charitable center. All other brother
hoods and professions improve their
opportunities, but their steadfast sup
port and perpetuity depends on the
farmers success-agricultural devel-
opment. The way now opens.
We hope Harry Farmer can be in
duced to have his Talks reduced to
book form for sale. They receive fa-
vorable comment.
Crops look well after good rains,

FARMING "wEsr OF THE RIDGE"

Cor. of The Progressive Farmer.
As I see that a few farmers, in the
middle and Eastern part of the State,
have complied with your request by re-
porting the conditions of farming op-
erations in their sections of the State,
but having seen nothing lately from
any one "west of the Ridge" I have
concluded to send you a few items
from this region.
will begin by saying that we have
had a peculiar spring season, and
every kind of vegetation at first of
May seemed to be very much behind
its usual condition; but at present
every thing, such as corn, oats, mea-
dows and garden vegetables, appear to
be as far advanced as usual for the
middle of June, and all growing and
looking fine at present. We were be-
ginning to want rain, but had good
rains yesterday and the day before.
On account of dry weather for few
weeks past, farmers have their crops
in good condition, and our prospects
are favorable for full crops of all
kinds, excepting wheat and rye, which
were so badly winter-hlled that
scarcely any of either viii be har-
vested. We have an average prospect
for apples and peaches and other kinds
of fruit. On the whole, I think our,
conditions, out among the mountains,
are such that we can afford to be rea-
sonably cheerful and hopeful rT
A considerable portion of our peO-
pie are working in mines and factories
of various kinds, and consequently a
smaller portion are engaged in farm
ing than used to be; but improved
farm implements enable farmers to
get along about as well as when all
worked on the farm.
get The Progressive Farmer regu-
larly on Tuesday evening, and always
find its pages entertaining and edify-
ing, and wish that more of our people
in the Western part of the State could
be induced to take and read it, and
that more of the farmers would join
in sending out items of news from the
counties all over the State, from Cur
rituck TO Cherokee.

gathered by the waves of the sad blue

gathered by the waves of the sad blue
sea.
Once a month they win hear some
preacher recount that this is the, State
of "more religion and better water"
than anywhere else, but, finally, claim
that times are getting worse, since
men used to shout but now yearn for
the wisdom of the world which is fool
ishness with God. Finally, they are
threatened with drought, flood, pesti-
lence and disaster, if they don't pay
the preacher better. This is the type
of minister. who is "agin" the free
schools. He is to some extent play
ing out, but ignorance dies hard.
The teacher keeps up his tread-mill
existence, and finally some ignoramus
marries a girl, who, Maud Muller like,
had higher aspirations. He wants her
for help-meet in the corn and cot
ton patch, and she is also expected to
wash, cook, and milk. He is "agin"
'the burned free schools" ''becaze"
they help educate the niger. In five
years she says "axed" and "seed,"
"agin" and "disremember" just as does
her lord and master, and finally con-
cludes there is no use in educating a
"gal" no-how. By selling what they
should eat, and eating what they can't
sell, they are able in middle life to put
up store. In few years they wax
arrogant and build a white house.
Then when they. see a poor devil come
in with a spring chicken who wants
'snuff and a little terbaccer for paw
and man," they order him about, just
as the merchant was ordered about
when he went to the store with spring
chickens, in boyhood, and tell grown
people all that is worth knowing. He
gets it from "drummers," who wear
better clothes and are more knowing
than Solomon in all his glory. At least
the merchant and drummer both think
so, and the neighbors don't know any
better. The merchant is a tower of
strength in the church, and knows all
about how much school we ought to
have, and where "deestricts" ought to
be. The preacher calls to see him of
ten, and it is headquarters for local
candidates. He tells all the men on
whom he holds mortgages how to vote,
and has learned from the "drummers,"
as well as captains and colonels who
are running for county Offices, just
how to save the State. In sly way,
he'll pick some intelligent "renter"
parade this information-right in the
presence of his informant-as original
product of his profound and seething
brain. When he goes to town the pa
per claims the town was full of people.
If, however, three thousand poor dew
lis that farm and teach drive in, the
paper is either silent or remarks there
was absolutely nobody in town that
day.
So, while much is being done, (and
I rejoice thereat) the educational mil
lenium has not set up here just yet.
We have IS white districts in this
county and % colored, and about
enough school population and terri
tory for go all told. So far it is all
left 10 merchants and preachers.

II Is fact, too, that tanners OF To-Day
employ very much the same methods
as did the ancients. About the same
materials are used. and the processes
are almost precisely similar to those IN
vogue hundreds of years age. 1t Is
true that tanners of the present day
have found means Of greatly shorten

into leather and that steam power and

expedite and improve the processes of
finishing the leather; but, after all, the

A Chlld'a Bath.


A tepid bath for child should have
a temperature from IS to 90 degrees +.
and hot bath 50 3-5 degrees f., which.
as said before, is the normal tenn
perature Of the inside Of the body.
This will cause relaxation in case OF
CONFUSION or sweating in case Of fe-
yer. The water should be gradually
heated until the hand of the mother
finds 1t noticeably warm, care being
bad always to remember the extreme
delicacy and sensitiyeness OF a child's
skin.
In case of debility and for scrofulous
children ard those threatened with
ricketts, Il salt water bath every morn
ing, either hot or cold, according to
season. Is very valuable, To prepare
this bath use four ounces of sea salt to
four gallons of water, Let the child
play in the water little while, then
rub the body briskly with q Turkish
towel till the skin is in glow.
To make n good mustard bath use
two ounces of powdered mustard to
four gallons of water. This IS excel
lent as footbath and relieves congeS-
tion of the head and is often useful In
the first stages Of cold on the chest
In cases Of extreme exhaustion and
threatened collapse a child can be i'm
mersed up TO its neck. and the bath
will act as a stimuIaut. but whenever
one Is using hot bath for any reason
the head should always be sponged
with cold water.--Pilgrim.

end in 1888, The New York Sun, the

Today there are in the United States
more than 1900 daily, and between
5000 and Is, 900 weekly publications,
and the newspaper has not only be-
come the great dissemination of news,
the promoter of literature and art,
but also a medium for free thought
and independent criticism.
After giving an outline of the pro-
gress of the newspaper press in Amer
lea, the speaker closed by saying that
he would gladly return to the Press as
the producer of books. 1t was the
dream, the hope and the prayer of
Gutenberg that he might discover
some means OF multiplying The
Word of God like the wind,' tina: il
might be given to the masses of the
people. The press has printed many
books. but the Bible is the greatest of
them all. In giving to the world !,
more than two hundred millions
of copies of the sacred volume,
the press has triumphed gloriously.
That word is the fountain head of
English thought and of English lit
erature. Through the power of the
press-a power ordained of Cod
