TO MUCH LAW-MAKING. STATE NEWS
Sunny South.
There is a story of a prince who
was presented with a board upon
which he could arrange figures to
represent his own armies and those
of his enemies, and by his move-
of those he could control
the fortunes of the troops actually
engaged in war. When he found
out that simply by changing the
direction of a piece of pointed
steel he could spare or destroy his
foes, he began to it
He made the overthrow
of the armies of his neighbors a
matter of daily amusement. The
thought that what was fine sport
to them was ruinous to others
never occurred to his mind. Some-
thing like this reckless disregard
to consequences characterizes our
people the matter of legislation.
It is proposed to frame a separate
statute for every case as if law-
making were a mere past time.
Every map who is elected to
State or National Legislature
thinks he must propose a new law
and not a few go to each session
charged with a dozen or a score of
measures which they propose
drafting into bills. It would seem
to be the opinion of some that
people can be legislated into
morals, common sense and
wisdom. When one, by
mismanagement of his private

CHANGE THE FARMING SYSTEM.
All an that there is some-
radically wrong with our
agricultural interest. There are
various opinions as to the cause,
and needed remedies. It is an in-
disputable fact that our farmers as
a class are getting poorer and
poorer every year. This cannot
attributed to indolence on their
part. They are laboring as
as they did when they were
in better circumstances than they
are now. They are harvesting in
bulk as large crops as usual They
cannot be accused of very
living.
There are at least, we believe,
too fundamental causes for this
depression among this noble class
of our citizens. One is the i resent
system of farming. The other the
unequal chance they have
the price of their products. The
latter probably results in part at
least from the former. However
this may be we shall confine our
selves for the present to he dis-
of the first named cause.
It cannot be denied that our
system of farming has greatly
changed in the past twenty or
thirty years, and even a much
shorter time than this- The ten-
at present is to make
you can only make cotton and to-
as a money crop you will
not be forced to sell it if the price
is unsatisfactory. As it is now you
must sell it no matter how low the
prices, because you must have
these thing-s which you did not
make and which are necessary to
the sustenance of life. Make every
you can that you need at
home then make what cotton and
tobacco yon can and is not
very far distant when your former
independence will again be yours.
You ought and we believe will
have the assistance of every pro-
for your adversity means
the crippling of all. others, your
prosperity means advance-
of all. Act now, act to
act with no purpose to flinch, and
you will no longer slaves to
trusts and combines of every name
and grade but freemen worthy of
the grand success that will crown
your efforts. This we conceive is
the grand work of the Alliance
and for them the active
and united assistance of every pa-
and liberty loving citizen
of the South when in or out of the
order. Change your system,
change at once and the re-
WASHINGTON
crops, that is crops
for
sale only. Cotton and tobacco are
now the crops by far
that are made. The only value
they can be to the producer is the
money they will bring. We make
these almost to the exclusion of
all other crops. The farmer may
and does plant a small amount of
corn, wheat, potatoes and etc., but
even this small is neglect-
ed in cultivation for his cotton and
tobacco. We have almost ceased
entirely to raise our own meat,
horses, cows. etc. All of these to-
with bread must be bought
with our cotton and tobacco money-
If the price of these was as good
as when we made and raised these
other things we could not have as
much money, for a large part of it
must be paid for the necessaries
of life. When we take into
the fact that the price of
cotton and tobacco has continued
to decline until they gotten
below the cost of production we
can readily see that it is only a
matter of time when our whole
farming population must be
bankrupt. We may expect that
when any one or two crops is made
to the exclusion of others that
the pi ice of these will be low.
There seems at present a
belief even among farmers them-
selves that this is one if not the
main cause of low prices.
An effort is being made just now
to reduce the acreage of cotton
during the present year at least
or per cent- We believe it
ought if possible to be a much
larger decrease. Some advocate,
and with a great deal of reason,
that it would be far better for the
farmer if he would not plant a
seed during the year of 1892. Of
course whatever reduction is made
ought to be general. Meetings
have been held looking to this end
and if there is a united action it
will be sure of success. The great
mass meetings of cotton planters
at Memphis advised a reduction
per cent. The Commissioners
of agriculture of six cotton States
endorsed this. The Agricultural
Society of North Carolina passed
resolutions calling upon our farm-
to reduce the acreage per
cent. Last week the Alliance of
Wake county passed resolutions
asking a decrease of per cent
and united the co-operation of the
merchants to carry this out. This
was a wise step, and we believe
the farmers of every county ought
to have similar meetings, and we
trust that in each county the mer-
chants and all others interested
will lend their influence to
the purpose of all of these
resolutions. We especially call
upon the farmers of Pitt county to
call a meeting and take action at
once upon this subject which so
closely effects their interest. You
are satisfied that you can not
ford to do as you are doing now.
Almost any change would be bet-
for you-
Try this year at any rate to
raise your own meat and
bread, and grains, in fact every
necessity you can and only make
cotton and tobacco as purely a
money crop. You can certainly
not make your condition any worse.
There is every promise that you
. will realize just as much money
for these crops as yen do now and
not have the necessity of spending
it for the actual necessities of life.
You may not lie able to fix solely
the price of your products but you
can do that you have no idea
can that direction. If
One day it looks as if war is
about to be declared against Chili-
The next day thing seems
to be favorable to peace. The
facts in the matter seem to be kept
from the people. The President
proposes to send a message to
Congress in reference to the mat-
It is hardly probable that
Congress will declare war. There
are only two cases on record
where they have done this. Once
during the Presidency of Mr.
Madison, and the other during
the administration of Mr. Polk.
Chili has evidently not been
very respectful to the United
States but the matter, if it cannot
be settled by diplomacy, can be
by arbitration and this would be
in keeping with the expressed
policy of this Country in reference
to such matters. We would not
add much to our reputation as a
great and powerful Nation by
taking entire possession of the
little republic of Chili, much less
forcing her to terms. War is and
should be the last resort and there
seems at present certainly no
necessity for a resort to arms.
The trouble probably would have
been settled ago if some
man than Pat Egan represented
this nation in that Country. His
bias in favor of and
his followers has had much to do
with delaying negotiations which
would have resulted long before
this in a final adjustment of the
differences which now seem to
threaten the existence of former
relations between the two
tries. No war is necessary and
this only could be an occasion for
one.

Mr. Grimsley having plead
the Solicitor moved that

suspended. Kev. Mr.
concurred in this motion- Differ-
conclusions may be drawn
from these facts. It may be thought
that Mr. considered
that enough harm had already
come from his original improper
action. For that his action was
improper goes without saying,
since the investigating committee
has deemed proper to bring it
before Conference, and since it led
to the first assault upon him with
a shotgun.
As Mr. may have
been actuated by laudable motives
in giving his consent to this easy
ending of the public trial ; and
since enough harm has already re-
from the affair, we not
regret that the trial did not de-

The National Democratic Com-
has, after mature
and consideration of all the
circumstances involved, decided
upon the place for holding the
Democratic National convention.
The decision does not meet with
the approval of everybody, nor
was it expected that it would, but
the members of the committee
by virtue at the authority
temporarily confided to them, done
what they considered best for the
interests of the party, and that
fact is so fully recognized by the
members of the disappointed

home fully determined to forget
their personal disappointment in
working for the election of the
ticket which shall be nominated
by that conversation. Let all
good Democrats go and do like-
wise, and the result will be victory.

were character witnesses, testifying
as to the reputation of Manning, the
deceased, for raising disturbances
and brawls. The burden of their
testimony was that he was quick-
tempered and fussy when drinking
but peaceable sober.
The witness to the killing

signs of shot in the rail which

strongly that way, so much so that
there was a general opinion that the

being a circumstantial nature it
was not thought probable by many
the verdict would be guilty of
murder.

To whom all bend their knee,
My muse, would rake her song of praise,
But for the man to be.
Mourn not for the vanished ages
With their great, heroic men,
Who dwell n history's pages
And live in the poet's pen.
For the grandest times are before
And the world is yet to see
The noblest worth of this old Earth,
tile men that are to be.
