The conservative and forbear-

phases of the Hawaiian question
has added to the good effect up-
on public opinion of the

missioner report, upon
which the policy of the
was largely based. It has
taken no official notice of the
very unusual and injudicious ac-
of Mr. Thurston. the minister
here of the Provisional govern-
of Hawaii, in writing and
giving to the press an answer to

language that would not have
been tolerated from a foreign
minister by any other government
in the world. Had the

trivial with what Mr.

improbable that President Cleve
laud ignoring the bad break of
Mr. Thurston was influenced by
the thought that the Hawaiian
minister was perhaps only too
anxious to as a martyr. But
whatever the object on
side the fact remains that Mr.
Thurston was guilty of an act
that would have driven a foreign
minister from any other country
and that not the slightest official
notice was taken of it by the ad
ministration, and this forbearance
is recognized as alto-
creditable to the
Aside from the publication of
Mr. report and Mr.
Thurston's reply to it, there have
been no new developments this
week. No one outside of the
cabinet a few members of
the Senate and House knows the
exact nature of the instructions
given to Minister Willis, and
Congressmen, outside of a few
of the most heedless, recognize
the absurdity of attempting to
express an intelligent opinion in
the absence of that knowledge.
When meets everything
connected with the Hawaiian mat-
will doubtless be made public.
Then the public can and will
pass judgment, and no member
of administration has any
doubt of the nature of that
judgment.

made a miserable e of their
attempts to cajole the Democratic
members of the committee into
the retention of duties that are
purely protective, have now taken
a new tack, but the result will be
the same- They are now
ting reports that Democratic
Congressmen whose districts
asking for protection
for this or that industry have
been sent to the committee will,
if that protection is not given by
the new bill it certainly will
not be except in the few cases in
which the duty imposed for
may incidentally give
vote with the Republicans
against the bill. After a most
diligent search I have failed to
a single Democrat who will
acknowledge contingency
that would cause him to vote with
the Republicans against the bill,
although there are a few Demo-
who would have been
pleased had the petitions of their
constituents been granted, and
who expect to lose their seats in
Congress if they are not granted-
It can be predicted with absolute
certainty that fewer Democrats in
the House will vote against the
Wilson tariff bill than there were
Republicans who voted against
the bill.
Secretary is the
of congratulations from all
sides on the able financial speech
he delivered this week before the
New York Chamber of Commerce,
and many are of the opinion that
it will have a highly beneficial
effect upon the business of the
country.
It is expected that President
Cleveland's message to Congress
will deal so fully with the financial
policy of the administration that
the Republican calamity waiters
will themselves deprived of
their principal
allegation there is a doubt about
the financial intentions of the ad-
ministration- The message to-
with the new tariff bill
put those intentions before the
public so plainly that there can
be no misunderstanding and no
doubt

The Slate Weather Service is
the Meteorological Division of the Experiment
Station.
One of the principal objects of the es-
in 1886 of a Weather
vice in North Carolina was for the ma-
and immediate benefit to the
cultural and horticultural industries
the State. It is true that other results
were sought and desired, such as
perfect knowledge of our climate as
whole, by sections, and by separate lo-
For in this way, besides
prominence to our
cream of
knowledge thus gained could be utilized
in possible adaptation of field and gar-
den crops from other portions of our
own, or of far-off countries.
With the exception of one field crop-
are none of the staple
liable to be by a sudden
and decided change of the
With fruit and vegetables the east is
quite different, especially during the
early spring, when the liability of a bit-
frost is great, when the tender buds,
leaves and flowers of fruit trees and
small fruits can be most easily affected,
and early vegetables of the trucker are
likewise at its mercy; then it is that a
foreknowledge of the coming of cold
waves and frosts is of the ad-
vantage. It is here that the State
Weather Service lends its aid to the
trucker and fruit grower, in addition to
the tobacco grower, by informing them
of the likelihood of sudden changes in
atmospheric conditions, and thus gives
forewarning of their advent.
Twenty years ago it would have
seemed chimerical to have supposed
distant points could be told that a frost
was expected there thirty-six hours
yet now such is the efficiency
of the U. S. Weather Bureau attached
to the Department of Agriculture at
Washington, and the facility and
racy with which the state of the weather
is gathered by telegraph from most dis-
as well as nearer points, and such
is the knowledge of the science, and the
ability of those engaged in digesting this
information, that different sections of
our m country are brought in the
focus of this investigation, and
are made with almost startling
accuracy.
The weather Bureau gathers these
data, sends the predictions suitable
to various portions of the
different states having Weather
vices, and these turn transmit them
to separate stations throughout the
State. The system of collecting mete-
data originated with the U.
S. War Department as a military
By this means meteorological
records from most points on the
frontier posts of the extreme west, at
that time connected only by a telegraph
Hue with civilization, were secured and
invaluable knowledge gained of the rise
and progress of cold waves having their
origin those bleak regions. As I
write now in the latter part of October
with an outside temperature of de-
F. in Raleigh, we have knowledge
of degrees F. in North Dakota. With
this knowledge a frost prediction
made for this locality two days ahead,
which prediction was subsequently am-
ply fulfilled. The Signal Service of the
War Department became in this way
errant value as an institution is
peace, especially to agricultural op-
of the country, that it was de-
to greatly facilitate its labors, and
to transfer it to the Department
of Agriculture, and the Weather Bureau
was then formed. The State
Services co-operate with the central Bu-
and are indebted to it for
and the means for conducting most
their operations.

the Meteorological Division

throughout the State co-operate in re-
cording local observations and the result
f these data is printed in a monthly
meteorological bulletin. These in turn
make up the annual summaries for the
State. The annual means for different
stations and districts are combined,
many years, to form normals. At
some of the stations, records are
served running back sixty or seventy
years with few breaks. The normal
pressure for the State is found to be
30.08 inches. The normal temperature
is degrees, almost exactly that of the
Northern Hemisphere. The normal
rainfall is 58.29 degrees.
The issue of a Weekly Weather
Crop Bulletin. Reports are sent in from
April to October from observers
representing of the counties show-
the effects of the weather upon the
growing crops. These reports are em-
bodied in the weekly crop bulletin.
Distribution of Daily Weather Fore-
casts, Cold-wave and Frost Warnings.
At is under this section that the
and horticultural interests of the
State are mainly As was
previously said, the knowledge of fore-
coming frosts and cold waves is of great
value to the trucker and fruit grower
and tobacco grower. It enables to
prepare for its reception, to cut his to-
and protect his small fruits
and trucking crops, as well as his fruit
trees. The Weather Service has in this
way often saved crops in many
ties, and seeks to extend further its use-
Daily forecasts and special
warnings are sent daily except Sunday
by telegraph to points. Thirty
points receive frost warnings
only between March and May and
in the Fall to November In order
that stations may be supplied with
graphic messages, it is necessary that
the point be reached by the Western
Union telegraph, and that signals be
shown to disseminate these forecasts.
In addition to the telegraphic service,
many near-by points are reached
through the mails, and stations are
thus supplied. After reach a station,
the information is disseminated in three
first, by posting the telegram;
next, by hoisting of flags; and last, by
whistle signals. The hoisting of flags
is the most common for every-day
Four flags by feet are
the white for fair weather, the blue for
rain, the black triangular for tempera
and white with black
for cold wave. An additional flag is
sometimes used, a combination white
and blue for local rains. The cut below

In some states, passenger trains show
flags, and are effective means for dis-
tributing the information. The firing
of cannon, beacons at night, or smoke
in day-time, can also be made useful in
flat regions, but for undulating or hilly
localities these plans are not successful.
The weather telegrams are now dis-
about mid-day and give the
forecast for the following day. The
A. M. meteorological observation from
every weather bureau station in the
United States is sent in cipher to Wash-
there translated, combined
with contiguous well as distant
studied in connection with the
previous day, and the result at last
reached giving the forecast of the
progress of a cold wave or storm,
etc. Of course separate forecasts are
made up for each State, and oftentimes
for two or more districts of the same
State. The accuracy of these
is in many cases astounding, and
the average are more than
per cent of the whole. The progress
of storms and cold waves are more
rate still, as may be supposed, being de-
pendent upon actual measurement of
distance, rate of traveling, and
likely to be

Ample opportunity is nearly always
given through the means of these frost
warnings to allow cutting of tobacco or
to properly protect crops of small fruits
or vegetables by covering with straw or
other material. In the of larger
orchard fruits, the burning of or
resinous material in various parts of the
orchard to furnish a dense smoke is
and is very efficacious.
The State owes much to the assist-
and co-operation of the U. S.
Bureau in this important and very
useful work. For without this cordial
assistance at all times given, the State
Weather Service would never be able to

Tor Fattening Pig.

Experiment
J. D. G., Lexington, N. Your
referred to below is a very good
one, and calculated to grow and fatten
the pigs well and fast, but as they get
heavier, however, you should widen the
ration.
Do this by increasing corn and wheat
bran in proportion to pea meal, and
then increase corn alone. At lbs
weight, the standard calls for ratio be-
tween protein and in
the food equal to to 1-2. our ration
is now about to 3-4 or too narrow
for the size of pig, weighing probably
lbs. More corn would suit better
now fr a abort time. Then increase
bran to pea meal remaining and
corn to The first change raises
the ratio to about to 1-4 and the last
to 1-4. You can make one or two
intermediate ratios to advantage and
get the pigs on the widest ration with
the new lower cost corn. Changes may

The plant is com-

j It lacks the green coloring
mother of plants, and is therefore
able to assimilate food from the air and
soil. It lives as a parasite on the leaves
of pine trees. This plant is highly es-
teemed by homeopathic physicians as a
remedy in epilepsy and in consequence
has a high commercial value where it
occurs in any quantity. A

of the morning mist after a night
with the drift nets, far out in the
broad bay, and landed on the rude
wharf at with its glitter-
load of salmon, and a thing that
puzzled even the old residents by the
shore. Some of them called it a
squirrel fish and others a rat fish.
k The thing had a tail like a goose
I feather, a soft, pulpy nose, a horn in
its forehead with a spiked point and
a socket into which to drop it when
not in use; a pair of organs, half
hands, half feet, below its ventral
fins, and a mouth like a shark's, with
close-fitting teeth of serrated car-
It was close to two feet
long, and its ugly body shone when
fresh from the water with hues
ranging from pearly to a deep
lustrous green, while its great, star-
eyes seemed like two perfect
emeralds.
The academy's ichthyologist didn't
think the fish much of a re-
marking that had been
long enough ago for Linnaeus
to classify it. It is, as the fisher-
man said, a rat fish. That is the

has a most effect upon the
appearance of horses, imparting a
satin gloss to their coats, a bright-

freshed appearance. It is no
usual thing at Cape May and
other seaside resorts to see
hostlers giving the animals in their

as the most systematic bather on

OUR BUYERS
Are a class of men of whom any
market might well feel proud.
All of them are young, ambitious
and business gentlemen and all
of them except two are unmarried
and offer excellent catches tor
some of Greenville's pretty young
women. Greenville can truly
boast of having as good a set of
buyers, as any other market on
the eastern slope though she is
the youngest of them all. For
time at first the clarion voices of
and high sounding ad
written in glaring
golden letters seemed to drown
the softly spoken but solid truths
of Greenville and Greenville's ad-
vantages over a great many of
her neighbor towns of which
great deal more has been said
and forced into the ears of the
stranger world. The Greenville
market to-day is backed by a
class of young men that are will-
to protect its interests.
Though we may not as many
of them as some of the older mar-
yet in quality we are hard
to beat.
We might go on and name each
one of them separately and show
their commendable traits as
business and as moral young

to come to Greenville and ask
some of our people. The answer
will be something nice and some-

but upon the earnest

accepted. Hr. Hayes said that
while he had no idea of being
made president and thought there
were others who could fill the
place better than he, yet in-as-

to give him that honor he should
enter upon the discharge of his
