AN OHIO VIEW.

Editor Independent: | have been
deliberate (if not slow in responding
TO the request of the associate editor
to give my view on the desirabiiity
and the practicability OF reviving to
useful activity, the once grand and
growing peoples party.
When one has wrestled for three
quarters of a century with the problem
of human life, he may, perhaps, be
excused for being little "slow," es-
pecially In this age of rapid and rcvo-
lutionary changes. The ancient
prophets seemed to have a broad and
haZy view OF the worlds oncoming
changes; but where has been the
modern prophet who could give true
horoscope of the political, industrial
and economic changes, and moral and
religious standards followed by the
intelligent voters of America?
The peoples party, as an organized
protest against class rule, was the
"siivcr lining" to the ominons cloud
that threatened the obliteration of
Jeffersonian democratic ideals. To
portray the justice and beauty of these
ideals was the grand mission of the
peoples party. But it was confronted
by blind party sentiment on one
hand and by credulous confidence in
sweet-sounding platitudes in the plat
forms of the reiuvenated democracy.
Not populists only, but millions of
honest democrats were deceived and
led astray. But the failure of the
offiee-holding democracy to carry out
IN good faith platform pledges -eyon

ary trend in democratic leadership,
have demonstrated that the so-called
democratic party will be hindrance
instead of helpful factor in social
and economic progress.
Already the treacherous character
OF specie basis-bank credit system
of money is manifest in the shutting
down of mills and million of work

Of wages from 10 to 30 per cent, there

WORK ON GREAT
WESTERN FAIR

Manufacturers are taking lively in
terest in the exposition, and already
more floor space has been engaged than
was at first provided for.
The Lewis and Clark fair will be
unique among international expositions
in that it is built with view to com
pactness without crowding. The ex-
position can be seen and studied within
the time and means which the average
person has at his disposal. A speciality
will be made of live exhibits, and the
things to be seen will be for the most
part of interest to the general public.
Oriental participation will be exten-
sive, and comprehensive Philippine
display, which will include several
villages of natives, has already been
arranged for. In keeping with the in
tention of making the fair truly rep
resentative of Western life and West
ern resources, the Forestry building
has been constructed in the shape of a
mammoth log palace, and the Forestry
display will be one of the most inter
esting exhibits at the fair.
While the Lewis and Clark centen-
NAL will be in itself well worth the
overland trip, there are many other
reasons why Fasteners win find it to
their advantage to visit Portland in
1905. The scenic beauties are in them
selves in most years attraction enough
to draw hundreds of tourists and the
low railroad rates already secured for
1905 provide for liberal stopovers for
fascinating short side trips. The rail
roads have agreed to sell round trip
tickets from Missouri River points for
$45, and round trip tickets from East
ern points at the regular one-way rate.
Portland, as fair city, will be found
second to none of those which have
preceded it. Known to Westerners as
the Rose City, it is a town of rare at
tractiveness, modern, clean, and bust
ling with western life. It's people,
numbering 100000 have subscribed
100000 toward the expenses of the
fair, because they believe that the ex-
position will be the means of telling
the world of a country, which, rich in
natures endowment, is, when compared
with the East, but sparcely settled
They see in the Lewis and Clark cen
tennial the beginning of a movement
which will make the Oregon country
second to none in the world; and out
siders who have watched the country
and its people believe they are right.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is
in Preserving Health and
Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature,
but few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal swetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal LozeDges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form Of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi'
tion of the general health, better com
plexion, sweeter breath and puTsr
blood, and the beauy of it is, that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking Of
the benefits of charcoal, says: ''I ad-
wise Stuart 3 Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stom'
ach and bowels, and TO clear the com.
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use Of
them; they cost but twenty-five cents
box at drug stores, and although in
some sense patent preparation, yet l
believe / get more and better charcoal
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than
in any Of the ordinary charcoal tab

President Adams to Tobacco Growers.
Editors Progressive Farmer:

Tobacco growers in all sections realize the
Importance of cooperation and organization.
The question with them is: Can it be done? The
wheat growers of the West by organizing get
ting 81 per bushel, with wheat in stock than
for number of years. The barley growers have
advanced the price over so per cent by organlza-
ton. The seed leaf tobacco growers by organiza-
ton name the price their product, and get it.
The truckers by organization control their busi-
ness and are prosperous The tobacco growers
of the old belt of Virginia and North Carolina
can do what others have done. The organization
is progressing finely in nearly every county in the
bright belt of Virginia. But Virginia farmers
cannot, succeed without the cooperation of North
Carolina, hence we would urge the tobacco grow
iers of North Carolina to call county mass meet
ings, notify of time and place, and / will
attend and explain Interstate Association plans
and assist in getting county organizations per-
fected. Let every farmer who is interested help
in working up these meetings, but don't wait
for another. Sit right down and write to some
other farmer, name date, advertise the meetings
in county papers and The Progressive Farmer.
Get the work started and it will grow in in
terest. The crop is planted, and the acreage
is conceded to be largely reduced, but don't for
get the trust can buy short crop at their own
price as well as large one. There will certainly
be demand for what we make, and now is the
time to get in position to demand and get profit
on our labor.
Very truly, S. @. ADAMS,
President Interstate Association.

Practically all the cotton crop has been planted;
first chopping is finished in the South and under
way in the centra-north portion; the stands of
cotton have much improved, and plants now seem
to be starting into vigorous growth. Some cotton
stiff soils is not yet up. Most of the crop
has now been worked over the first time, and the
second working has commenced in the south por-
ton; corn is doing fairly well, but stands ir
regular owing to the continued damage done by
cut and bud worms; late corn is being planted in
bottoms where it is coming up well. Rain is much
desired to complete setting tobacco; this crop
looks fairly WELL and the stands fair; the crop
would be greatly improved by rain. Planting pea
nuts is finished, but as early planted did not
up well, some replanting is underway. In
places wheat, oats, rye and spring oats report
ed to be very good, heads filing well, though low;
in others these crops poor; the yield will be
better than anticipates; wheat is ripening in
places Gardens and truck crops all need rain,
especially in the western portion of the State;
this is also true of Irish potatoes, which, how
ever are doing very well in the east, where they
are about ready to be dug in several counties.
Setting sweet potato sprouts continues. Meadows
in the west parched for want of rain Apples
and peaches in upland orchards promise fair
yields in southern portions of the State, though
fruit is reported as beginning to drop from the
trees. Melons are doing well, and there
is promise of large crop of wild blackberries and
huckeberries general rain is greatly needed,
and would improve the condition of all crops ma
terialy.

Editors Progressive Farmer:

Editors Progressive Farmer:
There was very much said about its raining dur
ing the early part of spring by farmers here in
Pasquotank. You could hear farmers say almost
daily wish it would stop raining Well, it did
stop raining, and now they wishing for rain
and there's every reason to believe that it will
rain, for every farmer knows, wet spells always
follow dry ones. Many farmers plowed their land
in the mud during March, and now they have
clods and some of them big clods, and clods are
certainly no inducement for plants to grow.
May peas are almost failure; the freeze in
April caught many patches in bloom The bloom
ON those were killed, and those that were young
enough to escape the freeze, the dry weather has
caught. Considering the area planted, we don't
think they will average half crop.
I spoke in my last letter of Irish potatoes rot
ting and said they were generally confined to small
patches but it seems now that the rotted area has

been extended to large patches, several large farm
reporting a large part of their crop rotting.
1t is not estimated that there will be any more
potatoes raised around Elizabeth City this year
than last
There is much complaint about cotton-seed
not coming up, as most farmers covered them
shallow for fear of the big rain that usually comes
in May.
We have seen Southern cabbage sell on our mar
ket this spring at 10 to Is cents per head, and
small heads at that, such we have sold for
~ to 2 cents per head in the patch This
caused us to give some thought about the profit
that is made from vegetables from the farm to
the consumer. The Florida and South Carolina
farmers didn't get more than to cents per head

Remedy for Horse Flies.
Editors Progressive Farmer

An efficient remedy for the horse iv is devoutly
desired-these insects having proved so noxious in
certain sections last summer that rural free de-
livery had to be suspended. combination of
fish oil and lard, or of lard and kerosene, has
been found to produce satisfactory results An
application of one pint of kerosene, mixed with
three pints of rancid lard, will last for day or
two. In Manitoba, plowmen in blowing patches
spray their animals with kerosene emulsion, and
this is more effective if little carbolic acid is
added. Oonly horses with rough, long hair, are
liable to be injured by these applications.

Three Passengers Ki1led-Several Are

St.Louis. Jan. 26.-The Denver ex-
press on the Burlington road, was run
into from the rear by local passenger
train while taking water at Gardeene
Creek, about 40 miles north of here,
and three passengers were killed and
four seriously injured and seven badly
hurt. The wreck occurred on bridge
over Gardeene creek. The bridge and
two cars of the local train and local
engine were burned. The express train
was running behind time because of
the blizzard weather and had stopped
at tank just after clearing the bridge,
to take water. Suddenly, without
warning, the local train crashed into
the rear of the express.
The light passenger cars of the local
train were badly demolished and the
bridge was filed with debris, which
took fire. Because of the burned bridge
traffic is suspended until temporary
structure can be erected.
One of the Pullman cars has been
tdrned into a Temporary hospital.

COL. LYNCH FREE.
KlnQ Edward Pardons Trsasoner From
Life Imprisonment.

London, Jan. 26.-Colonel Arthur
Lynch, who commanded the Irish bri-
gade against the British forces during
the war in South Africa, and who AZ
forwards was convicted Of treason and
sentenced to Imprisonment for life,
has been liberated ION license" Lynch
has not received the royal pardon. The
Associated Press learns that the lib
Grafton Of Colonel Lynch is the out
come of an interesting series of events.
When Michael Davitt was last in the
United States he saw president Roose-
welt, who mentioned Colonel Lynch,
saying he had once entertained him at
Albany. The president expressed great
interest in the case and regretted that
he could not suggest clemency with
out laying himself open to q palpable
snub.
On his return to England, Mr.. Da
witt mentioned his conversation with
President Roosevelt to Sir Thomas
Upton and to Mrs. Lynch, who has
suffered bitterly since her husbands
arrest. He also made a pathetic ap
peal to Sir Thomas, who then per
sonally interceded with King Edward
on behalf of the condemned fellow
Irishman. Without any hesitation, his
majesty promptly informed the home
secretary of his wishes in the matter
and the prisoner was released.
Colonel Lynch, who completed 8
year in prison last Saturday, was the
only political ohender in prison in Ire
land. fatrich A. McHugh, ex-membel
of the house Of commons, who recently
shared this distinction with Colone
Lynch, was released from Jail through
the mediation of Sir Thomas LiptoI
with King Edward.
Colonel Lynch will enjoy persona
liberty, and may even leave the coun
try, should he care to do SO, but, moi
having received the royal pardon, he
is disqualified from sitting in parlia
ment and from holding any public
office.
