Seed Grain.

Farmers >ho want to treat seed
grain can make very good and cheap
device by taking an old tin pail and
making lot of nail holes in the bot
tom of it. Dip it full of grain from the
bin; then just set itin barrel Of water
near by that you have put your formal-
dehyde in, and in will quickly fill, and
when you lift it out You will be aston
ished how soon the water will run out
again. You can then throw the grain
into another pile and every kernel will
be nicely soaked. Grain can be treat
ed very fast in this way, and barrel
and an old pail you have thrown away
will be the total expense. BY SO doing
you will also make your neighbor feel
like chump for buying a high-priced
smut machine.

A PREVENTIVE MEASURE.

The Ward bill might be correctly
entitled IAN Act to Prevent the Spread
of the Sore-Spots.' 1t is not to be
doubted for minute that this Legis-
lature would make the fatal mistake
Of adjourning without putting Shore
and Williams and Advance and like
little sham towns out of business. The
only question, therefore, that has been
oren for debate has been whether they
should be knocked by separate bills
or by a general act like the Ward
bill The Ward bill is better because
prevents spread of the contagion.
Senator Webb, of Asheville, gave cx-
preston to a strong argument for
tho Ward bin when, in brief speech
in the Senate. he said:
II have been in great doubt as to
how ! should vote on this bill. 1t
has given me great concern--more

VALUE OF IMMIGRATION.

Cheraw, S. c., Feb. 16.--It is with
much pleasure that the Tar Heels liv-

low citizens in North Carolina TO es

taken as indicative of the WORK 10

pie Will be vastly benefited. y great
hue and cry has been raised in cer~
tain quarters to the effect that the i'm
migration bill would bring in vast
hordeS of criminals and other unde-
s.rabie people; but from personal
knowledge of some of the men Mr..
Watson has induced to come here, the
writer can say that they are a very
desirable class Several Scotch me-
cnanics have been placed with the
lumber people near here, and the Co
iumb,a Lumber & Manufacturing
Company have recently placed seven
of them in their plant. and we are
informed that the experiment has
proven a success. South Carolina. IN
some sections, is about in the cond-
ton of Sampson and other down east
counties. in that nearly all farm Ia
borers have gone off. and there are
vast acres of good land lying idle;
and the only nope of bringing 1t I'M

Without any organized effort. dur

been done, and the town has twelve
industrial plants: but with our rail-
and water transportation facilities, at
fording strategic position to the
town, we feel that much more can
be done. The location Is within -
miles of the proposed electric plant
on Pee Dee river, near Rockingham,
and the mills here could be operated
by that power We have four rail-
roads to transport our product now.

GR.AHAnTS BILL is RIGHT.

One OF the most important measures
before the Legislature is Judge Gra-
hams bill to remove the injustice I'M
der which the State suffers by reason
CT the excessive challenges given to
the defendant in criminal actions.
There has been much agitation in
favor of such change in the law, but it
has grown in volume, particularly do
ing the past two years, until the de-
mand comes UP from practically the
whole body of the people and from
q large number of lawyers who have
come to see that the present law OPP
crates to defeat the ends of justice.
Lawyers are naturally slow TO
change. Bound by precedent and in
fiucnced by the conservatism that
made the profession cling to John Toe,
and Richard Roe until the lay mind

ment upon what has lonr existed in
the practice. But when e see many
