In speaking of his party's primar-
les in this State Gov. Glenn says:
I'VE are becoming too venal and
corrupt in our methods and unless a
halt is called, serious damage must
come to the people and to the State. !"
1t is time for the Republicans to
bestire themselves and call a halt
to the Democratic methods by de-
feating them at the polls and then
enact laws to remedy the evil.

Two Of the Democratic candidates

Two Of the Democratic candidates
for Governor have accused each 9th
er of being the candidate Of the
trusts, railroads and other corpora
tons, and they have proved their
charges. But even in view of that
fact the Durham Herald says as soon
as the convention is over they will
be telling that the trusts and rail-
roads are pulling for the Republi-
cans.

have men who will go into the field

no stay-at-home candidates this

care the bairnies a. in, father"
said the dear old grandmother, as
the death-shadows gathered about
her, and in her imagination she was
again back in the old home, where
her children were all born and rear
ed, but who long since had reached
the years of manhood and woman
hood. and had all come home to be
about the bedside, perhaps for the
last time.
Being assured that they were all
safe in for the night, she asked that
the Book be brought, and softly AID
tenderly one of the sons read the
whole of the twenty-third Psalm,
which seemed to be very comforting
to her, and brought back a desire
for some of the good Scotch hymns
and songs, which they had all often
sung together. 1.-THE Land o. the
fLeal." was one of them, and she
smiled such a sweet, sanity smile as
they sang:
I'm wearin' AVA Jean,
Like snow-wreaths in thaw, Jean;
I'm wearin' ava
To the land o. the leal.
There's nae sorrow there, Jean,
There's neither cauld nor care,
Jean:
| The day is aye fair
. In the land O. the leal."
Again her mind seemed to wan
der, and again she asked: Where
is father; is he no lookin' after
the bairnies, to see that they are
weel Tapped up for the night?"
Mother, the BARNS are all safe,
and will all say their little prayer;
SO you can hear them"
And they all united in saying
"Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray thee, Lord, my soul to keep;
| If I should die before I wake,
| I pray thee, Lord, my soul to take;
This I ask for Jesus sake. Amen.
They were again singing for her
one of her favorite hymns:
I'I am far frae my hame,
For the 1anged-for hame bringin',
And my Fathers welcome
smiles.
| And I'll never be flu content,
Until mine cen do see,
The gowden gate O. heaven,
An my ain countrie"
i But the verse most comforting
was:
: Like a BARN to his mither,
A wee birdie to it's nest,
y I would fain be gangin' moo,
Unto my Savior's breast;
For he gathers in his bosom
Witless, worthless lambs lik
me,
= And carries them himself
: To his ain countrie."

Editorial Answer: 1t is so difficult
to keep some hill land from washing
that it can better be used for pasture
or hay, or for growing timber or
fruit. Many of us have seen badly
washed hills that had not washed as
long as they were in grass or in tim
Der. In the one case the sod prevent
ed washing. In the other case the veg
etable matter that was in the soil
about the trees absorbed the rain
and did not let it run down hill in
torrents. The vegetable matter also
helped to hold the soil together if
water did run down hill over it. The
farmer can fill his soil with vegeta-
BILE matter, and thus make it about
as free from washing as it was when
the forest trees were growing on it.
He cannot get the soil full of vege-
table matter in single year, but he
can make a good start in one year.
After that he should have something
to turn under every twelve months
The first fall he could SOW rye In
his cotton or corn crop. During the
winter its roots would help to hold
the soil together and prevent wash
ing. 1t should be sown full early,
SO that 1t would make good root de-
veiopment before cold weather. It
may be plowed under the next spring,
whenever the regular time for plow-
ing arrives. Rye may be used in sue

STOCK MARKET OPERATIONS.

Partly owing to the unfavorable weather con-
ditions which caused delay in getting to of1lces
and seriously disturbed the telegraph service,
trading on the Stock Exchange yesterday was
on only a limited scale and the market tone was
heavy during the session. the weakness becom-
ing pronounced in the last hour. There was
very little commission house business, the mar
ket being almost entirely professional Actual
news there was none, and in It's absence the
bears made use of such rumors and fnterences
as could be mustered TO aid their cause. The
short selling of the COaleTs was persistent ana
finally effective, the attack being concentrated
upon Reading which went below par, touching
its lowest figures since the current recession
began Delaware & Hudson suffered an extreme
loss Of AZ points but. like Reading, closed
about y point above the low of the day The
weakness in Reading caused a sympathetic de-
cline in the general railroad list except Northern
Pacific. which a revival Of the story OF an
extra dividend worked up to 126, closing
at 1853 a net gain for the day of Y point.
London was a seller OF United States Steel
common, which was also under pressure locally,
on the expected poor showing Of earnings for
the present quarter, soon to be announced.
Much was made of the coming financing by the
Delaware & Hudson, and there were reports of
similar plans about to be announced by other
railroads. among them the Illinois Central,
which was said to be preparing to issue a large
block Of new securities.
Extreme ease continued to prevail in the

$1,000 GOO and the retirement of the last of these
obligations, and with il the effacing of another
reminder of the panic period, viii in all prob
ability be accomplished next week.
The interior has during the week been steadily
pouring funds into this city in such heavy guam
tity that the local banks are estimated to have
gained more than S16,0OOO00 in cash, This esti-
mate will probably be exceeded, as the prelim-
mary estimates Of the last two weeks were ex-
ceeded, the bank statement to-day is likely
to show the return Of a further large amount of
boarded money, not figuring in the known
movements of money That statement, from all
indications, will show another heavy increase
in the surplus reserve, which week ago had
mounted TO 22635,415.
