LIVELY TIMES IN ALABAMA.

It looks like there might be lively
times in Alabama this fall over the rail-
road question. The governor has call
ed an extraordinary session OF the leg
islature, to nven On November ftn'
for the purpose, as Governor Conner
saws in his proclamation, of determln-
ing who controls the state, the people
or the railroads.
The same fight is on in Alabama as
is ON in this state over the railway
rates. The principal fight in Alabama
between the state and the railroads u.s.
we believe, with the Louisville and
Nashville road, which has secured an
Injunction in the federal court against
the enforcement of the state law pro-
viding for a reduction of passenger
rates.
Our readers remember that before
the Southern and the Atlantic Coast
Line roads agreed to put the lower
rate into effect in this state Governor
Glenn threatened them with an extra
ordinary session of the legislature for
the purpose of adopting more strin-
gent anti-railroad legislation II
they would not put the new rate
into effect pending the law suits
brought to determine the constitution
atty of the legislative enactments.
The railroads in this state were
more sensitive to the blows of the
big stick in the hands of the governor
and yielded to the demand backed
by the direful threat. Rather than in
fict on the people of the state the
calamity of an extraordinary session
of the present legislature the railroads
abandoned their legal rights, and
we think the whole state owe a vote
of thanks to those two railroad com
panies for their regard for the peoples
is seems, no such compromise or
yielding by the railroads wa made.
The railroads stood by their rights.
Consequently the people of that state
are to be afflicted with a special ses-
sion of the legislature. The people
of Alabama have our sympathy.

HEARST'S CHANGE OF FRONT.

Mr.. Hearst's declaration that he
has no ambition to be president and
that he is not a candidate for the
office has struck the public all in a
heap. What is he after then? is the
question the people would like to
have answered. Until Mr.. Hearst
takes the public more into his con-
hdence on the subject Of his polit-
ical aspirations, it will think he is
trying to fool the people when he
says he is not a candidate for the
presidency and does not want the Of
fee, no matter how positive his state
nent may be, which is as follows:
I am not a candidate for the presi-
dency on the Independence League
ticket or any other ticket. n I cannot
conceive any conditions under which
1 would be willing to become q can
didate, I do not say this in the Roose-
veltian sense, publicly declining the
nomination and privately working to
get it nor do I say is through n feel
ing ofpique or disappointment at the
result Of the late election.
Mr.. Hearst still further muddies
the waters by saying that nothing
has been determined as to what the
independence League will do in ma
tional politics." We thought it was
generally understood that the indie
pendence League was organized for
the express purpose of forcing Mr..
Hearst's nomination on the democrat
ic party Or making it absolutely i'm
possible foregone conclusion,
with Hearst and Bryan in opposition,
at the time of the nomination OF any
man it might nominate. Now for

he is not a candidate for the nomina-
ton, is not going to be a candidate
and would not have the nomination
IL rendered to him on a silver salyer.
or words to that effect, the party is
all up set. 1t is like the sudden with
drawal OF a strong opposing force
to those who believe in the sincerity
of his declaration. They suddenly
find a where thsy expected
to encounter serious resistance. What
does il mean? is the question they
would like to have intelligently an
swered. Has the independence
League suddenly changed front and
determined to work in the interest
of Mr.. Hearst's supposedly most for
midable opponent for the nomina-
ton? Is he going TO withdraw in
the interest of Mr.. Bryan? II tina
be so it means hat he has at last
realized the futility OF the nomina-
ton of either and prefers Mr.. Bryan
instead of himself % be the defeated
presidential candidate.

A WARNING To OUR PEOPLE

We publish in this mornings Mes
senger two clippings from state papers
which show how careful our people
should be in providing protection
against assaults and other crimes ny
the criminal class.
One article gives an account of the
mysterious chloroforming of a even
teen-year old girl in her own home
as she was about to retire for the
night. She had been left all alone by
the other members of the family who
had gone to an evening entertainment,
and in this lonely position she was
attacked and her life almost taken by
the administration of chloroform by
some unknown person, Latest reports
from that town state that no further
light has been thrown on this mystic
rious case. This case shows how
wrong it is to leave a young woman

time. Evidently the person or per-
sons who committed the deed knew
that she was alone in the house and
took advantage Of her loneliness to
enter the house with some felonious
intent.
The other article referred to is
that giving an account OF a man and
his wife, while driving in a buggy
in the day time along a public high
way in Rowan county, being attacked
by a negro who jumps upon the back
of the vehicle, seizes the Oma and
threatens to kill both the parties. AS
good luck would have it the man had
a pistol handy and with this he de-
Tended himself and wife, no doubt
saving them from bodily harm at the
hands OF the brute. The negro was
shot by the man and thus prevented
from carrying out his purpose. what
ever it was.

HOW TO HAVE A WINTER PAS.
TURE

Mr.. L. M. Mabry, of Knoxville,
Tenn, sends US the following from a
paper of his city on the subject of
winter vetch" for cattle feeding.
giving his experience in raising this
wonderful cattle food. The article
should be carefully read by our far
mers:
The people of Tennessee and other
States may have a fine winter pas
ture by planting Oregon Winter
vetch in October or November. It
is sown on any sod or other land
that will produce common COW peas,
and will grow all fall, winter and
spring, furnishing the very best of
feed for all kind of stock. In the
spring when the other green stuff
m in the ordinary pasture, the
stock a be taken off, and if you
wish, you can wait from four to
six weeks and the vetch will be as
long as ordinary pea vines and can
be moved in plenty time to plant
corn or other crops, and will make
from n to three tons of cured hay
per acre, richer by far than any 9TH
eT hay, as it contains thousands of
beans filled with a very rich seed
resembling okra seed but tasting like
peanuts, the hay is equal to wheat
bran pound for pound, by actual an
alysis. Enough of the seed will pop
out to reseed the land and they will
again terminate the following fall
making another pasture for win
ter and so on. Vetch is a legum and
will greatly improve and mellow up
the soil, the coolest weather does
'ot injure it. In short, vetch is the
thing for every man who has stock
to plant. There are many old seed
on the market and they do not ger
inmate we'll, but if the reader of
this article is interested, send stamp
and I will send address of reliable
firm who sell good seed at very rea-
sonable price. Only a pound sown
in a place close to the house will
keep up your flock of chickens all
winter and make them lay plenty of

THE MESSENGERS POSITION

We understand that MIR. John e.
! Woodward, of Wilson, is to be a candi-
date for the nomination for attorney
| general subject to the action of the
] democratic state convention.
1t is the rule of this paper to ex-
press no preference among the aspi-
rants for office through nomination
by our party. This paper expects to
support the man who gets the nominal
ton, but it will not express any choice
| for the nomination among the aspi-
rants. The personal preference Of the
men on the staff of the paper do not
and very properly, are not allowed to
have any weight in shaping the policy
! of this paper.
The editor of this paper has been
| solicited by personal letter, more than
| once, to give his personal influence,
whatever that may be, to this or
/ that candidate, but he has invariably
refused to allow his private views to
lead the paper into the advocacy OF
any candidate for nomination.
The Messenger tries to be a nom
personally conducted paper. Its n
| deavor is to express the sentiments

efforts-feeble as they may be-are in
the line of advocacy of that which
it thinks to be to the best interests
of the people. What errors we make
are errors Of judgment and not of the
heart. We nov there are many DEM
Ocrats in the state with whom we diff
fet as to party policy and as to the
course Of action best calculated to
benefit the state. To most of such of
our opponents in these matters we
give credit for being sincere in their
views and we want to have the same
credit given US.

ica1 fight now on. We have no can

An interesting matter was heard be-
fore Judge J. Crawford Biggs, al
chambers, yesterday afternoon at the
court house, it being a motion to en-
Join the school board of District NO
|, at Burgaw, from paying over the
money for lands which the board re-
Gently purchased, in the name of the
county board of education, on which
10 erect a high school building III
white children, funds for the purpose
having been raised from a special
election held under an act passed by
the last Legislature.
When Judge Biggs was presiding
over tn. Pender county court week be-
fore last, he granted a temporary re-
straining order and the hearing yes
terday was on a motion to make the
restraining order permanent.
The school board, composed OF
Messrs. C. E. McCullen, J. F. Johnson

whom were present yesterday. have

the purchase of property in the south
ern part of Burgaw, on which to erect
the new high school building. The
deeds for the property have already
been drawn put the actual payment
has not been made and the effort be-
fore Judge Biggs is to prevent this
payment.
The opponents to the Herring prop
Gritty allege that the site, where the
present school building is situated, !s
purpose and that the expenditure of
S 1000 for the Herring poperty is in
necessary, this property also being in
convenient to reach and difficult of
access. The school board denies that
the present property is suitable for
the purpose, it only having a frontage
OF 100 feet while the new building will
be SO feet in width, the building prac-
tically covering the entire lot.
The question of the constitutiOnality
Of the act under which the election
was held is questioned, it being al
legged that it discriminates in favor CT
the whites and against the colored
race. There are various questions at
issue and Judge Biggs announced that
he was not ready to give his opinion,
but that he would take the case under
advisement and announce his opinion
as soon as possible.
Representing the school board were
c. E. McCullen, Esq, and J. T. Bland.
Esq, Of Burgaw. and J. o. Carr. ESQ.

people, both men and women, should
always be prepared to repel such at
tacks from brutes as the two who
figured in these cases.
We do not approve of the custom
too frequently INDUCED in by many
men of carrying the pistol in the hip
pocket ready for use, with or without
~provocatiOn, on a seconds notice; but
we do maintain that in every house
hold there should be a suitable weap-
on kept where easily gotten at, for re-
polling attack by midnight marauder
or ~sneakthief. And, furthermore,
every woman in the south should be
taught to use pistol or rife-to become
accustomed to frearms-so that they
can on short notice be prepared to
defend themselves against the at
tacks of such fiends. Above all things
do not leave young girls in the home
alone at night, whether in thickly
settled country neighborhoods or in
the towns or cities. 1t is not safe in
either case, as this affair in Durham
shows, and it seems to us that our
people should have learned that fact

Few Crops Now Being Marketed
Corr and Hay Crops are Fine.

In conversation yesterday with a
prominent trucker OF this section, IL
was learned that all the truck grow
ers in this section, who have been
busy during the past week or two
resetting their lettuce plants, have
all the fall crop is now practically
in the ground.
The conditions have been favor
able on h young plants and a big
crop is expected. With anything
like favorable conditions from this
time On. the lettuce will be ready
for shipment between the goth and
25th OF November and while this
crop does not nearly approach the
spring crop in size, nor in resulting
returns to the farmers, yet II always
proves profitable and this year wn1
likely prove no exception.
The truckers have also recently
been engaged in sowing seeds for tie
new cabbage crops. The only crob&{
o OF the market are turnips and
potatoes, but the prospects are said
to be exceptionally good for the fall
bean crop and shipments, IL Is ex-
pected, will be started about the 18th
IF the present month.
The trucker who was interviewed
remarked that the corn and hay crop
this year was one OF the best in many
easons.
Farmers, he said, are beginning TO
realize the importance OF raising hay
Ready sale for hay can be had. Here
tofore farmers have been raising
only enough OF this crop TO satisfy
their own needs, but now they are
beginning to see that there is profit

kets.
All the crops raised and marketed
during the summer proved profitable
to the growers and all the neighbor-
ing truckers ae in god condition.
1t is a fact worthy of mention that
two or three crops can be produced
each year on the same land. in this
