Every Republican editor is hanging
upon Mr.. Watson's words and slipping
wisdom from them. Every attack
made by Mr.. Watson on Judge Parker
is hailed as the unprecedented opinion
OF a great author and statesman. Mr..
Watson's speeches have the right of

to print his letter of acceptance that
it could not wait for the formal re-

A SPLENDID OPENING.

The whole State will be. gratified to
know that Greensboro Female Col
lege has had splendid opening. On
the first day ninety-eight girls regis
tered and a number more have writ
ten that they will arrive this week.
In a private letter Mr.. Chas. H. Ire
land. chairman of the building COM
mittee writes: cit now looks like we
will have the best school we have
had in years We haven't
everything complete yet, but two
thirds of the building is ready and
what is finished is simply first-class
in every detail. The girls are lie
lighted. We feel that the old ship
is safely launched. God grant she
may have clear course and bright
skies and continue the great and good
work in our dear old State"
This suspicious opening of this old
and useful institution is a matter Cor
State congratulation. The alumnae
and friends of the college have over
come obstacles that many deemed in
surmountable. Neither fires nor doubt
nor any other foes dismayed them
or dampened their arior. They have
rebuilt upon larger foundations and
the gratifying opening under present
conditions is a splendid augury of
future success and usefulness.

Gordon monument fund hope to raise

thousand dollars by the first of No

Judge PEBBLES a Happy HOoligan.

Raleigh Christian Advocate.
Without intending any disrespect to
Judge PEBBLES, we must say that in
one respect at least he is very much
like Happy Hooligan.' The judge
seems to be having Il plethora of
trouble. 1t seems that in refusing to
appoint to the clerkship of Warren
county, our former friend and jour
nalistic brother, RodWell, Judge
PEBBLES has done the disappointed ap-
plicant a great injustice in proclaiming
that said applicant had been u default
ter as former sheriff of the county.
The numerous friends of Mr. RodWe!l,
in Warren county, are eagerly testify
ing that Mr.. Rodwell has never been a
defauIter, but that on the contrary, he
enjoys the reputation of being as hon
est and upright a man as can be found
II the State of North Carolina. Judge
PEBBLES has it in his power now to
show his fairness and magnaminity 10y
correcting his mistake as publicly as it
was made and in other ways making
such amends as will satisfy Mr.. Rod
vel, who is a reasonable man.

Beginners Expect Too Much

From observation, | find many cases
where poultry raisers expect entirely
too much to begin with. Take one
breed only and do it justice all
through. Watch and study it careful
ly. note what you hear and read, then
if you be a reliable pOultryman you
will soon know what advice to accept.
For your own sake don't base too much
on morning mash" This is carried
to extremes quite often, some even
kill their flock.
Better feed too little of such stun
than too much. In cold or wet Weatn-
err. when the birds cannot get out to
scratch, be careful about your mash
Feed such stuff at noon, if at all, while
the air is warm. Do not over feed on
cold mornings, or if you do your Hock

Dressinu Ducks and Geese

Ducks should never, on any account
be scalded before plucking. The III
bit on a roasted duck is by eplcures,
considered to be the crisp thin skin.
When scalding water is poured over
the bird the skin Immediately shrlVels
and thickens like a kid glove, and to
those who have a sensitive palate, the
beauty is gone. At the same not that
scalded geese are accepted In some
markets. it must be remembered that
the keeping qualities are impaired and
that the appearance is spoiled. Where
birds can be shipped alive they are
much less trouble and more likely 10
arrive in good condition, but When IL
is a question of ducks and geese, the
valuable breast feathers are worth con-
sidering. White geese, or ducks, feath-
ers are worth about 60c. a pound ana
a goose may have between nall
pound up to three quarters or pound
of good feathers on it, so that 1t can
easily be seen that it may be well
worth the while to pluck them. The
birds may be put over boiling water
and steamed, if the hot water method
finds favor, as it does not cook the
flesh quite so easily, but / have never
been able to persuade myself that 1t
is at all an aid to picking to have
the feathers wet at all. The birds
should be stunned by blow on the
head and then sharp pen knife is
run through the roof of the mouth

lust as they are wanted and If many
are to be dressed, they should be plac-
ed in handy coops and each one Kill

The Turkey Outlook

The good demand and unprecedent-
ed prices for turkeys for the last few
months ought to open your eyes to
the need of more enterprise in this
line of business
The prices alone leave no doubt as
to the small number of turkeys left
to begin with this season. A large
number of turkey raisers sold out en-
tirely, leaving a few in possession of
the field Now is the time to begin
with few and build up reputation
for the future.
1t is in order to begin turkey cul-
ture in business-like way, and not to
trust to luck for results after little
attention at first. I know people who
say the least attention given to a
flock of turkeys after the first few
days, the better luck may be expect
ed, but from long experience I know
this to be erroneous. 1t is quiet true
what few arrive at maturity are splen-
did specimens, but that is a proof of

Care OF Pullets

If pullet is to make a good winter
layer she must not get stunted but
be kept growing right along. You will
find that it is just as hard to feed
chick as to feed steer. II you feed
too much corn the pulletS will get
summer cholera and will stop growing
or die. With me the following mixture
of grain fed dry has given best re-
suits: Wheat, barley, cracked corn,
and oats in equal parts, well mixed
If millet seed is cheap | add one part
millet. Sunfower seed is also good
My chicks have free range, and L
never feed more than twice a day af-
ter chicks are two months old, and
am careful not to feed too much. Let
chicks go little hungry to roost, but
let them out by sunrise. Have few
sticks in the hen house for the small
chicks to roost on but you will be sur
prised to see how soon the little chick
will learn to use 1t.
When cockerels begin to bother the
pullets separate and fatten the cock
erels for market.
When you wish to change pullets
to winter quarters choose a dark
night, move summer coop into winter
house, and leave for awhile, then re-
move it, and have low roosts for pull
lets to roost on. Try to have your
chicks as tame as possible. Chicks
raised in breeders are very tame but
must have more time, and time is
money on the farm. There are good
many preparations on the market for
feeding and fattening chicks and to
make quick growth, but it never pays
to buy feed if you can raise it on the
farm, and chicks having free range
don't miss it. Never doctor a chicken;
chop it's head off and burn carcass, as
chicken diseases are apt to spread
through the whole flock.
Last, but not least, be sure your
poultry houses are clean. Pullets can
not lay unless they have clean houses,
warm winter quarters, and are free
from lice. If you want winter eggs
from pullets you must provide sum-
mer conditions and feed as early as

possible. If pullets commence to mott
in the fall feed beef scraps and a
mash made of bran and oil meal for
a few weeks. This will hasten the

that there is not large profit in early
chicks.

as a State Surely Thou hast crowned
and plenty is the heritage of this Re-
public. Our flag floats over happy and
united people. at peace with all the
world. We thank Thee for our State-thiS
great commonwealth of Indiana; we thank
Thee for her fertile fields. her running riv-
ers and her sun-kissed hills; for her splen-
did schools. her many churches-quiet
homes of love. joy and study from the lake
on the north to the river on the south. We
thank Thee for her noble sons, alive and
dead. that hath made precious the name Of
Indiana. We thank Thee for her many
sons, who, at the bar or on the bench, by
the sculptor's chisel or scholars pen
hath added ulster to the State we love.
Above all, we thank Thee for her brave
sons who, OH the battlefield or battleship,
died that no stain would remain on our fair
flag. We praise Thee for this noble party
which now meets in convention. We thank
gone by. We thank thee for Lincoln.

the sturdy Grant; for Garfield, who ever
wore the white flower OF a bameless life.

try: for William McKinley-kindest and
sentlest of men. Survived by these noble
dead-may they smile upon us in benedic-
ton. May they speak TO us-bidding us
be strong: be noble to 'quist ourselves
like men May they teach us lessons of
patriotism. duty and truth. May we live
TO make the State better by our deeds
and lives. We ask in His name-Amen.
