The belief In prophetic dreams Is not
entirely superstition, according to
the results obtained by two members
OF the French institute. They point
out that at night when the senses are
at rest the brain is affected particular
ly by organic feelings in various parts
of the body and that early symptoms
OF advancing diseases give particular
direction to the dreams. A familiar in
stance is nightmare, which indicates Il
dyspeptic condition. Immoderate drink

1t is not generally known that In

This is termed "stone butter and Is
used In Germany. In the northern
parts OF Sweden earth is often baked
In bread and is sold in the public mar

Nubia and other tropical countries.
This practice probably had its origin
In the knowledge that all earths have

J. F. Lyttle, colored, of Hunters

stitute at Biddle Institute, Saturday,
according to the report in yester-
days paper, that he had bought a
tract of poor land, filed with gull
lies, brought it up, paid for it from
it's products, bought a tract adjoin-
ing it, and when other farmers were
complaining of poor crops had made
10 bales of cotton of over 500 pounds
each on Is acres. This is capital IN
a section where a bale to two acres
is not considered bad, and this col
ored farmer is to be congratulated
upon his success and commended for
his thrift.-Charlotte Observer.

making contracts and having made
them should remain through them

cording to the terms thereof. No
people can expect to succeed who fail
to live up to the obligations of a

bespeak for the weak in this respect
the patience of employers. Patience
will secure better results than invok
ing the law in this matter.

ground for persons breaking up and
removing to other sections of the
country and there should be freedom

encourage the negroes to appreciate
the value and Importance of perma-

the provident and worthy lands, thus
binding them to the community in

better citizens.
"6. That we deplore the preva-

and the Union. We greatly rejoice
however, that inter-racial crimes are
so infrequent within the honored

The Observer rightly says that
these resolutions care notable for
their strength of expression and the
conservatism of idea. The advice

NEGRO FARMERS E E

Meckenburg's Co1ored Farmers Have
Successful Meeting and Adopt a Sen
sible Platform.
The negro farmers of MeckIen-
burg County held a successful farm
ers' institute in Charlotte a few
days ago, at which addresses were
made by State Chemist B. W. Xii
gore, MI. @. @. Moore, of Charlotte.
and a number of colored leaders. In
the course of the meeting, the fol.
lowing statistical facts were brought
out:
Negroes in Mecklenburg County
own 7,172 acres of land.
In North Carolina there are 55,-
356 negro farm homes; 1852 being
owned @ renters to 1 owner).
In the United States there are
754,431 negro farm homes; 19O,111
owned.
The value of the products raised
by the negro farmers for the year
1899 was $685. Isl, 145-$669 average
value negro farm; $3O8 is average
gross income GAG per cent?.
The negro farmer raises 40 pei
cent of the cotton crop; 81 per cent
of the rice crop; 10 per cent of the
tobacco crop; Is per cent of the SUI
gar crop.
Exactly 9~6,812,245 bushels of corr
are raised by negroes of the South
Atlantic and South Central States.
The following sensible resolutions
were adopted:
owe, the colored farmers of Neck
lenburg County, in conference as
sembled, rejoice in the unusual OPP
p~ortunity to confer again with ref
erence to matters pertaining to our
welfare and that of the community
in which we live. We are living in
stirring times and under conditions
which are calculated to test the best
that there is in us as a people. We
therefore declare:
81. That we will continue to put
forth our efforts to improve our
mental, moral and material condi-
ton. To this end we will encourage
those institutions designed to aid
our advancement in these respects.
"2. That our people should con
tinue to put forth their best endeav-
ors to buy small farms and thus set
tie and build up homes of their own.
We must realize that the home is at
the foundation of all society and
government. No homeless people

/ had the honor to be a member of
the last General Assembly, and I re-
greet to have to say that nearly every
measure proposed by the farmer
members of that body was looked on
with suspicion, and a sad fate await
ed them i'm the Judiciary or Appro-
priation Committees. Two years g
an appropriation was asked for to
build a textile building at the A. &
M. College. The appropriation was
made, I was a member of the Legis-
lature at that time and voted for it.
This year a bill was introduced by
one of the best farmers and one of
the best men in the State, carrying
an appropriation to build and equip
an agricultural building at the A. &
M. College in which to educate and
train farmer boys, which are rapidly
increasing at the College. This bill
was reported favorably by the joint
committee on agriculture which was
composed of every farmer in the
Legislature. Did the Legislature
make this appropriation as it did
two years ago when a textile building
was asked for at the same institu-
ton? Well I guess you know it did
not, but told us, if the farmers want
ed a building at this institution, to
go and build it themselves.
They told the farmers to take the
funds of the Department of Agricul-
ture to erect this building with.
We're they not liberal and generous
to give us what was already ours, as
you all know that the Department of
Agriculture is maintained solely by
the tonnage tax on fertilizers, and the
farmers pay every cent of it. l
thought that to refuse to give US this
appropriation was bad treatment, but
they even did us worse than that.
They confscated ten thousand dol
lars of funds of the Department an
nually and appropriated it to main
tain the A. & NJ. College, when two
thirds of the boys there are taking
the mechanical and textile courses.
Are we to continue to submit to this
treatment? I for one do not think
so. We should stand together, or
ganize our forces, and make such
demands as are right and legitimate
and never yield until they are grant
ed. The great trouble with most
farmers is, they are not adapted to
speech-making and debate, especially
in our Legislative halls, and when
ever we tackle the lawyers and other
professional men who make their
living by talking, we are apt to go
down in defeat, but we can out num-
Der them, and we must use this, wea-
pom in battling for u rights. We
must prepare our boys who are to
take our places in shaping the fu-
ture destinies of State, to meet
