Care of a Canary.

| When moving 2 canary from q small to a larger cage, you should take the trouble to satisfy yourself that the bird ,s not frightened in it's new habitation. for if sometimes happens that it is ab- solutely afraid to fly down from. its comparatiyely lofty perch, and thus gets starved to death because it can moi reach it's food If you see your bird in this dilemma. try and coax it down: and if it will not came. take hold of it gently and deposit 1t on the floor of the cage.

Modern. ArtihcIallty.

We certainly should be downcast at the wholesale artificiality of the age. Most of the people one knows are in reality entirely different from what they seek to appear. TO take anybody seriously is Fsll-nigh heinous of. fense. and it seems to be regarded as a much greater triumph to produce an imitation that "defies detection" than an enduring work of art The classes are compounded of shame; the middle classes delight in them.

Congressman Lever has been very

PISGAH.

Pisgah. Sept. 30.-Cotton picking is
proceeding very slow. 1t is not OPEN
ing very fast and the pickers rather
frolic than pick. 1t was the 18th in
slant before any was ginned here,
somethink unprecedented in this sec
ton. 1t is hard to- estimate what the
crop will turn out. The lint is very
short and the yield per acre will not
be over half Of ordinary years. A
number Of good farmers will not be
able to pay their indebtedness on ac-
count Of the short crop.
Mr.. j. A. Gillis lost a fine mule not
long since. 1t was sick only a short
time.
Considerable discussion has been
going on about what the legislature
will do on the labor question. If
man is free man he has the right
to hire his time as he sees fit Then
II he contracts it he should be made
to fulfil 1t, If the other contractor does.
for the constitutions, both State and
national. say that contracts shall be
inviolable. This being constitutional,
how is 1t If he be made to fulfil it that
that is involuntary sorvitude? Was
1t involuntary servitude when he OF
his own free will entered into a con-
tract in good faith to perform so
much labor at a given price? Then
where does peOnage come in when he
Is required to carry out his part OF
the bargain? SO q man can make a
contract, draw money in advance on
1t, quit and not pay, and there is no
redress except to sue and get by law
nothing, and the planter loses all. If
this is justice, the writer fails to see
1t. When one man can swindle an
other and there is no redress. there
is something rotten in Denmark about
our laws.
The best thing the legislature can
do is to repeal the lien law. 1t has
outlivcd its usefulness and should go.
If our legislators have not the back
bone to legislate for the public good
