John Cannaughton. principal keeper in Sing Sing prison. has not visited New York for twenty-nine years. and there is little likelihood tffat he will ever do so. The reason is that there are great number of people in that city who would welcome an opportun- ity to kill him. In his capacity as prison keeper for forty years Mir.

Secretary Parker in a circular let
ter states that within a week four
Farmers Alliances have been organ
lied throughout the State. This is
well. There is no present need great
er than that Of a live, active organi-
cation of the farmer class. This or
g~anization should exist in every
township and county in North Car
olina. Not only would they prove a
benefit to the farmers themselves,
but to the country at large, as it's
success is measured by that of this
class of it's citizens. The r~eorgani-
zation of the Alliance, shorn of poll
tics, kept out of politics and out of
the hands of political intriguers,
would be one of the best things which
could happen to this State, in fact,
to the entire settlement. Little by
little the people are becoming awake
to this need and from several express
sions recently heard from sensible
men In this county, we believe that if
an effort was made a permanent and
substantial organization could be
effected in this county.-Lumberton

Put Your Money In a Bank.

A great many country people have
a very limited knowledge of banking
and business methods. We know OF
people who very unwisely keep their
surplus money in their houses. For
instance, we heard a man say the
other day hat he was afraid to put
his money in the bank as the bank
might fail. He was also afraid to
deposit it in the safe of the mer
chant, as the safe crackers might
get it. From the latter it will be
seen that he had an idea that when
he places his money in the safe of a
merchant his money is carefully
marked and laid away and kept in
the safe for him, the identical bills
or coin that he deposits, when in fact
the merchant gives him credit for it
on his books, just as a bank would
do, and uses the money in his bust
ness. The merchants safe might be
robbed but the depositor would get
his money when he wanted it., just
the same. Merchants do not keep
their money in their safes-not
enough to break them if they should
get robbed-but they put it in the
banks, because that is the safest
place to keep it, anyway it is so con
sidered by the biggest business men
of the world, and to be sure farmers
and others who have small savings
a afford to risk them by the same
methods that are used by the great
fnanciers of the Notwithstanding
Home.

Farms Better Than Mines.

sit is a fact sunported by stats
tics that owners of farm lands in
Colorado during the last ten years
have made more on their acres thar
the owners of mines have upon
theirs. This holds good not only as
regards increments in values, but az
to the net profit of production"
This is the broad statement of the
Denver Republican, but it is borne
out by the observation of business
men everywhere, and it is no more
true of the farms of Colorado than
of other sections. And if we con-
slider the number of men who have
failed utterly in mining pursuits
and the vast economic loss this has
entailed we shall see that farming
is not only the safer and surer, but
actually the more profitable. even
though here and there is a "strike"
in mining by which a few men get
rich.-Chicago Rural Voice.

Value of Good Rural Schools,

Mr.. T. J. James, of Charlotte, has
bought a 6O0-acre plantation in the
immediate neighborhood of Mt.
Prospect and will move there in the
near future to make his home. The
excellent rural graded school at Mt.
Prospect is the principal drawing

invest in the real estate and move

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER


A few years ago no man who wish
ed to give his children a high-school
or even a good common school edu-
cation would have moved his family
from Charlotte to this or any other
country neighborhood.
Up to recent years the conditions
were reversed. Men living in the
country who recognized the import
ance of educating their children were
moving from the rural district to the
towns and cities in order to secur
the advantages of the schools. There
were no schools worthy of the name
to which farmers and farm tenants
could send their children. Those who
realized the Importance of a good
education for their children were
moving to the towns and cities.
Farm lands we're lying idle. Towns
and cities we're becoming congested
with people seeking e of live
lihood while educating their children.
Labor on farms was becoming
scarce.
Our public school system is work
ing a great change in this respect.
Now we see a halt in the emigra-
ton from the country to the towns.
More than this. The tide has turned.
Men with their families are going
back to the country where they al
enjoy the freedom and independence
of life on the farm and at the same
time have the advantages of good
schools for their children which only
a few years ag othey could only have
in the towns and cities.
There is another advantage grow
ing out of this new condition. The
value of farming lands is greatly en-
HANGED. Men who wish to raise
their families on farms and at the
same time recognize the Importance
of education are willing to pay more
for land near q good school than for
a farm of the same character which
had no such advantages in reach.
Good country schools greatly en-
nance the value of real estate in all
the contiguous country. Neither the
State nor the people of the rural dis
tricts lose any thing in the establish
ment of good rural schools whether
they be public or at private expense.

SEVENTEEN KILLED.
Swift Erie Passenger Crash
es Into Excursion Train.
TWO SCORE ARE INJURED
Catastrophe Caused by Mistake Of Sig
nal operator-Excursion Train
Was Standing But Impact
was Most Frishtful.

Seventeen persons were killed and
about fifty injured In a collision which
occurred at Midvale, N. j., Just before
noon Sunday, when a regular passen-
ger train on the Greenwood Lake
branch Of the Erie railroad ran into an.
excursion train that had stopped to
take water. All Of the dead and In
jured lived in Hoboken, Jersey City
and New York.
The accident is believed to have
resulted from tower operator having,
lowered his signal too soon, and this
was admitted by D. w. Cooke, gener-
al agent Of the Erie railroad, who
gave a statement, in which he said:
"The operator in the tower failed
to set the block signal against he
train following"
The train which was run into was
special carrying members OF the
First Plattsdeutscher Association, OF
Hoboken, on their annual outing and
had 300 passengers. It consisted OF
II cars and 2 engines. The first en-.
CINE had taken water and the train
had moved up and stopped with the
second engine beside the tank, when
the regular train drew near.
The fagman Of the special signaied
the engineer Of the incoming train,
but owing to curve in the road his
flag was not seen until it was too late.
It is claimed that the engineer OF the.
regular train had slowed down TO
about ten miles an hour before he
crashed into the special, but his es-
CINE tore through the: rear car the
greater part Of its length and drove
the forward end of that car into the
car ahead. The killed and injured
were in these two cars. 81
The wreckage dd not catch h.e.
and the work Of taking out the dead
and MANNED was accomplished
quickly.
The passengers from the uninjured
coaches Joined in the work and the
residents of Midvale, many Of whom
had heard the crash, assisted them.
f. The fourteen dead were soon latd
beside the track and the injured were
carried to the nearby houses. ~
While physicians were being sent
for, women of Midvale brought band
rages and other articles that could be
used in Gazing for the injured. -

CkNNIBAL ANT HARMLESS
Government to Fioht Proposed injunc.
tion by Texas Pianter--E%peTt
Talks Of Bel! Weevil Enemy.

A Washington special says: Ross
l.. Clark, cotton planter near Hous-
ton, Tex, has applied for al iajunc'
ton to restrain DR.. O. F. Cook, OF
the agricultural department, from
bringing into Texas the ants which
have been imported from Guatemala
to kill of the boil weevil. Mr.. Clark
says that the insects are a source
c. great danger to the negro laborers,
whom they sting. and it is on these
grounds that he has applied for the
Injunction. But Notwithstanding this
it was stated at the agricultural de-
partment Saturday that there was
no chance Of such an injunction being
granted and that the experiment would
begin as soon as possible. DR.. Cook
arrived in New Orleans from Guate-
mala, bringing with him, in good con-
dition, eighty-nine colonies of the mys-
terious insects, with which the agri-
cultural department hopes to exter-
inmate the bool weevil.
Beverly T. Galloway, chief Of the
bureau of plant industry, under whose
instructions DR.. Cook imported the
ants, said in an interview Friday:
'"All I know regarding Mr.. Clark's
proposed Injunction is what I seen in
one Of the morning papers. do not
think that there is any chance for
Mr.. Clark to obtain the issuance Of the
Injunction since, for: the present, we
propose to experiment with the ants
only on the government plantation.
No one needs to have them set loose
in their cotton fields if they do not
want them"
In speaking Of his intention to seek
the Injunction, Mr.. Clark Said that he
considered it a very dangerous thing
to introduce into the cotton fields
one insect in sufficient numbers to
exterminate another. He argued that
the fields would be left in just as bad
a condition as they were before: only
the character Of the evil being chang
ed. -. 81 p. s..., t..... .
when MIR. Clark argues that way
he shows that he does not know. what
he is talking about. This Guatemala
ant is not a vegetarian; it is regular
cannibal ant and preys only on the
boil weevil. It will not eat the leaves
or any part Of the cotton plant. When
let loose in a cotton field the little
animals do not attack d single plant
In a body but distribute themselves
over the entire field and mount the
cotton plants in groups Of three and
four. Wherever we have experiment.
ed it has been found that the animals
operate in most orderly manner.
The ants are to be taken at once
to our own experimenting grounds In
charge Of Professor Hunter, and VIII
be used on our own cotton. IItxhaus-
tive experiments will be made there
until it has been learned exactly how
to handle them and to avoid any pos
sibIe danger. Until this in done the
werk Will be confined to government
land entirely, then the benefit OF our
discovery will be offered to any one
who wants it."

DEnOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Principal Features of Document as Adopted by the Ma
tonaI Convention atSt louis-God Plank Eliminated

: We condemn the republican system
of legislation under which trust mono
poles are enabled to exact higher
prices for their manufactured pre-.
ducts from our own people than they
sell them for abroad.
We favor the enactment and admin.
istration Of laws, giving labor and
capital impartially their just rights.
Capital and labor ought not to be ene-
mics. Each is necessary to the other.
Each has its rights, but the rights OF
labor are certainly no less vested"
no less sacred and no less "inalen-
able than the rights of capital.
z School. and Race Questions. g.
The race question has brought count.
less woes to this country. The calm
wisdom of the American people should
see to it that it brings no more. TO
revive the dead and hateful race and
sectional animosities in our common
country means confusion, distraction
d business and the recpening of
wounds now happily healed. North.
south, east and west have but recently
stood together in line Of battle from
the walls of Pekin to the hills OF
Santiago and as sharers Of common
glory and common destiny, We share
raternally the common burdens. We,
therefore, deprecate and condemn the
Bourbon-like selfish and narrow spir.
It Of the recent republican convention
at Chicago, which sought to kindle
anew the embers of racial and Sec
tional strife, and we appeal from it to
the SOBER common sense and patriotic
spirit of the American people. -.
. The existing republican administra
ton has been spasmodic, erratic, sen.
sational, spectacular and arbitrary. II
has made itself satire upon the con.
gress, the courts and upon the set
tied practices and usag,s Of national
and International law. as 50 -
imperialism. F'-f -.
We favor the preservation insofar
as we can of an open door of the
worlds commerce in the Orient with
out unnecessary ENHANCEMENT in
Oriental and European affairs, and
without arbitrary, unlimited, irrespon-
sible act Of government anywhere in
our jurisdiction. ... o..
We insist that we ought to do for
the Filipinos what We have already
done for the Cubans. And it. is our
intent, as soon as it can be done
wisely and safely, for the Filipinos
themselves, ard after amicable ar
rangements with them concerning ma.
val stations, coaling stations and trade
relations, and upon suitable guaraI-
tees of protection to all national and
international interests, to set the Fill
pino people upon their feet, free and
independent, to work out their own
destiny.
The. ndeavor Of the secretary Of
war by pledging the governments in
! dorsement for promoters" in the Phil
ipp:ne islands to make the United
States a partner in speculative ex-
ploitation of the Archipelago, which
was only temporarily held up by the
opposition of democratic senators in
the last session, will, if successful,
lead to a permanent ENHANCEMENT
from which it will be difficult to es-
cape.
We favor statehood for Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory, statehood for
Arizona, statehood for New Mexico
and a territorial government for Porto
