NO FEED TO WINTER CATTLE.
Never So Many Cattle for Sale in
the Mountains as Now.
(Watauga Democrat.)

Never. SO far back as we can re-
collect, have there been so many cat
tie for sale in the mountain counties
as there are just now, and the price
is but little Observation-Disclosures
any old price takes them. Heavy fat
cows have sold recently within the
corporate limits Of Boone for two
cents gross, when ordinarily the
same cattle would have brought from
3 to 8 IL cents, and milk cattle are
almost a dreg on the market. There
is, Of course, a reason for the drop in
cattle-not political either. The
scarcity Of feed is responsible for this
great slump, and the people are bound
to sell every hoof they can spare. The
loss Of the fodder crop, to many Ok
our small farmers will mean a great
deal-in fact it renders some Of them
unable to winter their cattle.

It remains for The News to attack, by preme Court and its judges as the court now stands.

 Of all the papers that have supported MT.

Justice Weak ley was appointed by Governor Jelks and was appointed because he had in the campaign which elected him. If bare charges and assertions such as The News puts forth for argument are to determine votes ana 1T envi- News manage to pluck Judge Weak ley from such surroundings and. Set him on such pedestal? L
 Judge wsakiey is a good lawyer and good judge. but If he sits still and allows his followers to make such appeals in his behalf and to connect his name and tie his campaign to that of Mir. Conner or any other candidate. he loses that Independence and dignity which should and must characterize once occupied by Stone, Brickell and Mcclellan. Courts are no more sacred than other public institutions, but any other institution can be carelessly at- tackled and less harm be done than the courts. If there be cause to fear that the Supreme Court Is in the hands of the railroads we will join fight believe that Judge Tyson would be unfair on the bepch and lean to the railroads we will fight him as quickly committed himself to follow Mir.
