CURRENT COMMENT,

If we would guard our ballots
with as much caution as we Go

fewer thieves in ofice.-People's
Paper.
This plank should have had a
place in our platform We point
with pride to the number of dudes
and Migrants we are making by
educating~-th the negro with white
mems taxes.-People's Paper.
An exchange tells of a news
paper reporter who Interviewed
thirty successfully business men
and found chat all of them when
boys hal been governed strictly
and frequently thrashed. He also
interviewed thirty loafers and
learned that twenty.seven of them
had been mammals darling,"
and the other three had been
reared by their grandmothers.
North Carolina is just about
ready to think seriously of a re-
formatory and the more she

AS the campaign progresses our
conviction Of the necessity of the
defeat of the so-called democracy
becomes stronger and stronger.
We have had riots, tyranny and
bossism enough in the last few
years to answer all purposes till
the end of time, yet there is no
improvement suggested or con-
templated, but the same old bosses
and cliques are straining every
nerve to stay near the flesh pots
for the purpose of growing fat at
the public expense and the assur-
ed privilege of handing out a sop
to o pet here, a heller yonder and
a relative there, and, owing to the
force of habit, instead of becom-
ing more particular as to their Sc
lections and the public welfare,
they have grown Indifferent to the
means used so long as their pets,
relatives, ct al, regardless Of their
merits, morals OF qualifications,
are dished out the portion that
should have have been awarded
by popular will to those more
worthy and better gu alified d.
These things stand out boldly and
as the so-called democrats are de-
termined to go down with their
red and black flags flying, We say
let them go.

SHIPPING CATTLE.
Some Points on Grating and Sailing
by Express and Freight.

Express is always preferable to
freight where the expense is not too
great. Express companies require the
animals to be Grated, and generally |
use a short, light slat crate for little
calves, with head protruding from the
crate-that is, the body alone is cased.
With older and larger animals 1 use a
large, strong and heavier crate, full
length Of animal, with the animals
neck placed in a sort of s%tanchfOn
made Of two hardwood sticks that run
from floor to top and are secured at
each end. Feed can then be placed
before the animal and water will be
given by the express company's people.
In shipping by freight |" is generally
necessary for some mar to accompany
the stock as an attendant, and then
feed, bedding, etc, are supplied for the
trip and the attendant is expected to
care for, feed and water the stock.
The animals can be placed in stalls
that are made in the car or in stan
chions which run the length of the car.
These are made by taking two four or
five inch pieces at top and two more
at bottom and at regular intervals
place an upright which is securely fas-
tened to these pieces and also to the
floor and the roof Of the car, then in
between these pieces or uprights place
a piece that reaches from floor just to
thet top Of the frame, being pinned at
he base so that it will move enough
at the top to allow the animals head
to enter the space, then close the space
and put in another pin at the top to
hold it there firmly
The animals, of course, stand side
ways in the car and unless exception
ally large will have ample room in the
ordinary eight foot wide car and leave
a space in front of the stanchion for
feeding. Hay in small bales can be
carried over the animals by building a
sort of floor over them. Water can
be carried in barrels near the door
ways to be used in case of necessity or
haste. Where only one or two ami
mails are to be shipped by freight they
can be tied in the end Of the car or a
cheap stall made. Almost all railways
require the presence of an attendant
and generally give free fare at least
one way and sometimes both ways

BUR CLOVER.
Interest In This Winter Growing
Plant For Cattle.

In the southern section bur clover
promises to be a great crop. In WAYNE
county it is grown in big fields, and
many farmers are afraid it will take
the country. One farmer of my ac-
quaintance down there drove me out
to his farm last November while I was
stopping in the little town of Jesup,
and he showed me a field of forty-fve
acres that he had cleared Of stumps
and sowed to bur clover. 1t was then
two feet deep all over the place, and
hogs and cattle were doing all they
couid to destroy 1t. The farmers for
many miles around gathered and want.
ed to know what to do to keep on
farming. In every little corner that
was not closely cultivated the bur
clover showed itself in fine shape.
told them to plant more Of 1t and buy
cattle. That was a good way to settle
the labor question, l told them. l in
quired of the owner of the farm,
which, by the way, consisted of 325
acres, how much he valued the place
at. To this he replied he had been of
fering it at $4,000. There We're, all told,
100 acres Of land cleared, and 1 ad-
vised him to put it all in clover and
buy a hundred head of high grade beef
cattle and raise cattle. He could use
the idle land for pasturage and put
them on the clover when he desired to
do so.
l learned since that he has done this
and now puts the value of the land at
double what he did. If the farmers of
that territory will go into the work ef
raising cattle and hogs on the right
plan, they will Dol value their land
at 500 an acre. The only reason it
stays so low in price now is the farm
ers do not realize what immense reve~
nue. can be procured through the cow
pea and bur clover crops.-J. G. NJ. in

The so-called democracy of
Rowan is now making most des-
perate efforts to befog the minds
of the people and bewilder the
voters by an array of foreign
speakers and a superabundance Of
CAB. They talk on State and ma
tional questions for the purpose
of hiding the rottenness, bossism
and great prevalence of crime IN
Rowan during our late few years
of misrule. They hope thus to
have the voter to forget the out
RACES committed in the name of
the law, and by sworn officers Of
the law, they would have forgot
the fact these criminals have goLe
Scott free, untried, and that they
are yet drawing salaries from the
town and county as protectors of
the peace and dignity Of the State.

THE HORSEMAN

Henry Exall, the leading breeder Of
trotters in Texas, issues a warning to
horse breeders in which he says: The
rapid increase in the value of all
good, useful horses will very material
ly stimulate the breeding business.
Hundreds of people will start in an en-
terprise that promises such great re-
turns, and the tendency will be to
breed almost every animal that will
reproduce itself regardless Of quality,
soundness and general desirability.
Breed Them Right.
AS a consequence a great many
horses Of nondescript character will be
raised at a loss alike to those who
breed them and to the state, while, on
the other hand, those who choose wise
ly and breed and raise only the best,
using stations and mares that are
deeply bred in the best blood lines Of
the breeds that they intend to raise
and who by proper care and attention
raise really ~serviceable horses, useful
for the purpose for which they are in
tended, sound, kind and beautiful, will
not only make a great deal Of money
for themselves, but will greatly benefit
the section of country in which they
live, There is practically no limit to
the demand, at rich figures (Which will
grow larger each season for the next
eight or ten years., for the horse that
Is bred right, raised right and trained
to be good in his class, whether it is
as a trotting race horse, a fast speed
way horse, a park horse, a reliable,
we'll hammered, sound, handsome fam
lily carriage horse Or a sturdy draft
horse. Breed them right, raise them
right, educate them properly, and the
product Of a small band Of we'll bred
mares, with the right kind Of stallion
at their head, will make their owner
rich in the next ten years.
Notes Fer Breeders.
Oats are a natural and nutritious
horse feed.
The stall ought to be nine feet long
and FIVE feet wide, says Kimball's
Dairy Farmer.
Scrub horses are neither profitable
nor satisfactory.
In training young colts drive them
with a fast walker.
Do not whip a frightened horse. 1t
only adds to his fright.
Some people curry their horses dur
ing the shedding season only.
A horse naturally feeds from the
ground. Avoid high managers.
The mare that is sucking a colt is
doing double duty and should not be
required to perform as much hard
labor as the other horses.
All trouble in kicking, rearing and
stubbornness generally arises from i'm
proper handling or not sufficient han
ding to adapt horses to usage.
You can better afford to starve your
horses any other time than during the
first year Of their existence. A stunt
cd colt seldom makes a we'll developed
horse.
Treatment that may entirely break
n horse Of a bad habit may entirely
fail on another. 1t is hard to lay down
rules that will work well in all cases.
Horses are classed in the Chicago
market as drafters, loggers and feed
ers, chunks, expresses, farm mares,
light drivers, actors and coachers.
The last class brings the best mon
ey. Light drivers come next. But
of all the classes the drafters are the
most profitable because they car be
put on the market cheaper. It's a big
proposition to fit up a team of light
drivers OF coachers that will sell for a
top price.
