This of August. W. HE Wm. It was said of a politician who flourished in New York a quarter of a century ago that he cared very little what people said or papers printed of him, but that he was ex- sensitive to caricature and the ridicule expressed in the illus- papers of his day. Comparatively few people seem to realize what a wonderfully effective weapon judiciously managed is, says a writer in the New York Ledger. It is almost safe to assert that any needed reform may be brought about more quickly by means of properly handled caricature than in any other way. But to be the most effective, it must not be too broad. It should be suggestive rather than aggressive, and mus stop short of anything approaching the license that would disgust the observer. The strength of lies in its truthfulness and in the clear way in which it is to the eye. Caricature for partisan or personal ends is rarely as successful as when it is enlisted the cause of some much-needed reform, for it is not well understood, and politically it appeals only to a limited number of persons. When it strikes at abuse, something that needs general reform, everybody understands it and everybody it; then let it be truthful, clear and to the point, and it is an almost irresistible force. Good caricaturists are few. and the best of them have for part been guilty of the most offensive partisanship. They have lost sight I not alone of truthfulness, but of common decency in their The young artist who desires to take up this form of illustrating will do well never for one moment to lose sight of the fact that the higher I the moral tone of his work the more acceptable it will be and the more . effective. The arrows of low fall almost powerless while the truth brought out in such a way is as keen as a two- edged sword. If more of this sort of journalism were available and its judicious handling were better very many of the abuses that now afflict the human family might be put an end to. That such service, well performed, is is evident in the case of an English caricaturist who has re- been knighted as a of his talents, and of him it may ; be said that the strength of his work was his truthfulness; that he j was never unreasonably partial to friend or unjustly severe to an ; enemy. He caricatured situations latter than people, bringing in the j public characters of the day more as figures in a grouping than as objects for his keenest satire. It would be well for younger and less-experienced artists to learn a lesson from such careers. It would, indeed, be well always to remember that the successful wars are waged, not against persons but against con- An individual has his sup- porters, be he ever so dishonorable or unjust.

A gentleman told the job Saturday that there was right much excitement among the informed classes a certain township of this county because of reports that have been lated among them by Third party agitators- These he said, have been going among those who know no better, telling them that as soon as the Demo- get this silver question set- in Congress all the silver money in circulation will worthless and of no more value than was confederate money after the close of the war. Of course many believed these statements, and there was more or less ex- among them according to what money they had. One of the deluded who bad or five silver dollars came to Greenville Saturday to get rid of what he had before the came. He intimated his plans to no one, as he had also been told that even now a silver dollar would not buy more than fifty cents worth of any- thing, and he feared that if it was known he was going to unload so much silver on the market there would be a still further decline value. So determined to out to the best he went in a store and asked to be shown some goods. Up. selected what he wanted and lay down enough silver dollars to cover the purchase, fearing as he did so that the merchant was going to ask him to hand out as much more. To his astonishment the merchant gathered in the silver with as much relish as a hungry man would take his dinner, bowing his thanks invited the customer to call again. The man walked away with his goods en- not to betray his prise, but he could not keep it all to himself- Hunting up a friend he took him aside and told him what bad occurred. con that followed it dawned upon the man that he had been deceived by the bosh the Third party agents been telling him. This reminds us of another in- that came to our edge a week or two ago. A man came into the office to inquire what Cleveland and Con- were going to do with silver. After talking awhile with him he dropped the exclamation they have been telling out in my neighborhood that Cleveland that man Wall Street that is in with him are up all the gold and as soon as they get it they are going to kill silver right out and not allow it to circulate any When he was told who man Wall was, and that no such things as he had heard could ever take place, he saw the deception of those circulating such stories in his neighborhood. Now these are actual occur- and lead to the that many Third are determined to sow all the strife and discord possible among those who are uninformed, and that they consider no means of deception too low to be used in furthering their purpose. Men who have any regard for and honesty would not stoop to such methods. That there are some honest, well-meaning men in the Third party all will admit, and we cannot believe they any such dishonest It should be con- to all such men that the party which has to adopt such deception, tries to in- crease its strength by stirring up the passions and prejudices of the is wrong in principle. It is now thought by some that the passage of the repeal in the Senate has been somewhat by the discussion of the election law in the House. This is purely a party question and much bitterness of feeling is look. ed for in its discussion. believe that this will arouse the auger of the Republicans and that they will vote against the repeal bill and thereby bring a Demo- Congress out of harmony with the President- It seems that the election bill might better have been let alone for a while at least. Mr- the leader of the Senate favor of repeal says that other legislation in re- to silver will follow after the Sherman law is repealed. This may be taken as representative of the We had hoped that would delay the passage of the repeal bill the Senate- It is reported that Senator Vance will oppose the of some of the recent in North Carolina notably Hon. If. Simmons for Collector of the Eastern District of the State. We can hardly credit the Statement, and are slow to believe any such tiling in reference to our Senator. We had expected that the Populists Republicans would oppose vigorously on account of tho fact that Mr. Simmons was chairman of the Executive last so successfully thwarted every device that they concocted to catch votes, but we shall not believe that Senators will aid them until we have more proof of this than simple opinions of Washington correspondents, though their opinion may be bas- ed on what they conceive to be reliable information. Tho made in North Caro- so far by Mr. Cleveland are all excellent ones and we believe will be heartily endorsed by all of the people. No reason is given for the opposition of Senator except that he has failed to get some that he desired. Ho will be very far from what we believe ho is when he allows any such motives to prompt him in the position takes upon the col of any Democrat, much less a North Carolina appointment. Two of tho best speeches that have been made Congress has been in session upon the silver question have been made by two Southern Democrats, and both were for the free coinage of silver and against the repeal of the Sherman law. We refer to the speeches of Sen- Vance of North Carolina and Senator Daniel of Virginia. The former spake only one and a half hours but we have rarely read a speech that is so pointed and so convincing as this is. It is one of Vance's best and that is saying enough for it. Senator Daniel spoke four or five hours, and Mr, who is the author of the bill that Daniel opposes is re- ported to have said at the of the speech that it was the best speech that had been made this session- We are proud of our Southern representatives. and they should sever any con-1 two express cars of 1260,000- There was a regular old-time train robbery out near Chicago last week, particulars of which read like similar occurrences when railroads were first invading the great west. One could almost think that the James boys or the Dalton gang were on the road again. Twenty masked men held up a train, shot the engineer, blew open an express car with dynamite, and made a pull on the safe. The amount that they cap- is estimated all the way from to as it was known tho train had valuable freight along. There were two express cars to the train but the gang made such a rich haul in one that they did not break into the other nor did they take time to molest the passengers. The contained up WASHINGTON LETTER. our Regular D. C, Sept, It seems difficult for the to understand that the democrats in Congress intend to redeem the promises made in the Chicago platform. They actually seemed to think that it was to cajole the Democrats into letting the tariff law, which was denounced from every democratic stump and in the col- of every democratic news- paper in the land during the last campaign, remain on the statute books, for awhile anyway And their mistake in the tariff business which is now very plain to them taught them nothing. They are now engaged it the useless business of trying to frighten the Democrats out of the notion of repeating the Federal election laws, laws which made the John I- Davenport a and which in tho hands of unscrupulous administration have the past may in the future, if allowed to rounded the voting places of American citizens with bayonets in the hands of soldiers. The number of Democrats who can be frightened by Republican twaddle is small, and, as said early in the let those Democrats who feel timid about carrying out the Chicago platform go to tho rear ; there will be enough left in front to do the Tho Tucker bill for the repeal of all laws providing for Federal super- vision of elections been re- ported to tho House and will be given the right of way until pass- ed. How long it will take to pass it depends largely upon stances. The Democrats are per- willing that it shall be debated, and no attempt will be made to force a vote until debate, has been exhaust- ed but no will be allowed- Everything indicates that the debate on the repeal bill is drawing its end in the Senate and that the long contest of personal endurance by means of a continuous session of the Senate with a quorum always present or within call will soon begin. Another attempt, in fact, several of them, were made this week to get President Cleveland's consent to some sort of a com- promise that would secure an immediate vote avoid the hard feelings between Senators which always follow prolonged sessions, but Mr. Cleveland was inflexible. A number of the Democratic Senators who will vote for the bill are per- willing to agree to a compromise that would in some shape recognize silver, but promised Mr. Cleveland that they would vote for tho repeal they do so with- out his consent. Tho House committee on For- Affairs will report a bill providing a substitute for the much-discussed Geary anti Chi- law- The bill introduced by Representative Everett, of Mas is now being by tho and will probably favorably reported, with slight modifications by Geary, of California. So many sensational statements have recently been made concerning the intentions of the administration that gave out an official statement this week that the Geary law would not be until Congress acts, that tho Government does ac- quiesce in the interpretation given the law by Judge Ross in his recent decision, as to the right of private citizens to begin proceed- against the Chinese and call upon the government to provide for their deportation.

The tariff hearings before the House Ways and Means commit tee have at times been quite inter- this week, and several agents who found themselves confounded when they presented the stock protection arguments went away thoroughly convinced that the Democrats on that committee are much better posted on the practical workings of the present tariff than the news- papers generally have given them credit for being.

The North Carolina Christian College at Ayden. this county, was formally opened on last Friday with appropriate exercises, and the regular work of the first session of the institution was be- gun Monday morning. Prof. L T. is principal. Friday there was a large gathering of the people of the community and they listened to an admirable address by our townsman, T. J. It is well known by all our people what an earnest advocate of education Gov. Jarvis is and he always cheerfully gives his to any enterprise that has for its purpose the instruction of the youth of our land or the enlightenment of the people. The educational inter- of North Carolina made more ad- in the six years that he was Governor there ever before marked twice that number of years. He made one of his best speeches at Ayden, and what he said will bear fruit. He said nothing is so elevating to mankind as education and the Christian religion and these should first of all things in our estimation. He wants to see the time come when every man and woman in the State shall be able to read, write, think and act for himself or herself. Men educated to inform themselves upon the great questions of their day make better citizens and are not always depending upon others for their thoughts and being often led about by designing persons at will. This college at Ayden is under the of I lie Christian or church. Those foremost in the became desirous of a good school and a meeting was held in April to consider the question of locating. Ayden was selected as the place for the college, this being centrally located in these Eastern counties where the greatest strength of the denomination exists. Only five months have passed since that meeting, yet in that short time land was secured, the building planned, material procured, and work has progressed rapidly until a large two story building adorns the beautiful acre lot set apart for the Institution. The college is splendidly located, its friend shave labored earnestly for it, and expect to see great good come therefrom. Not Broke When They Break.

DEATH OF ESSIE Is no flock, however watched and tended, But one dead lamb is there ; There is no fireside, defended, But has one vacant chair Death has just entered one of the happiest, most homes of our community and left his dark shadow lingering there. The tenderest lamb of the flock has been taken ; the sweet- est bud has been plucked ; the idol of the home has been called away, and the hearts of parents almost burst with an- as they look longingly toward the vacant chair, the empty crib, for their darling whose form now lies in the silent tomb. Little Essie Sheppard, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Shep- died at o'clock on Friday even- 10th inst., aged years months and S days. She was a sweet, g child, who endeared herself not only to the home circle but also to a large of relations and friends. To know her was to be at once attracted by her gentleness, and to love her for her friendliness, her and her many kindly ministrations. Every heart in the community Is touched with sympathy for the heart- broken parents in the great grief they sustain in the loss of their child. But alas, condolence can do little toward such grief and bind- up hearts thus broken, for if you will, I can bear it; a well-meant alms of breath, But not all the preaching since Adam made Death other than Still the sorrowing ones arc directed to the Divine Comforter in this their dark hour. He alone through his Spirit can comfort the bereaved, heal the wounded hearts, and wipe away all tears. May It be a consolation to them that this lamb taken from home is now folded gently in the arms of the Great Shepherd who said them come unto that the tender bud plucked from earth's flower garden is to-day unfolding its beauty and in the sunlight of Heaven ; and by trusting her Savior they can meet her again in their Father's The remains of little Essie were laid to rest in Cherry Hill Saturday afternoon. Rev. G. F. Smith conducting services at the grave. Messrs. R. L. Carr, J. L. Little, J. C. Tyson, W. H. J. G. and D. J. Whichard were pall bearers. On Sunday morning the Baptist Sun- day School adopted the following Whereas it hath seemed wise to our Heavenly Father, the Great Head of the Sunday School, in His dealings with us. to remove from us by death one of the brightest and sweetest lambs of our flock, little Essie Sheppard, whose death red on Friday the inst, just as the sun was sinking behind the west- hills, and whereas we desire to otter a tribute of respect and love, therefore Resolved, 1st, That we bow in hum- submission and love to this of our Father's Providence, though it Bay seem dark and untimely to us, knowing that He hath all wisdom and love and all things well an I for our good. Resolved 2nd, That we recognize that in the death of this little Iamb that our school has lost one of its most faithful, punctual and devoted scholars, having attended regularly from her earliest childhood up through the last of her if eon earth, on which day though too feeble to be out, she had come to bring the Bible names that her teacher had asked the class to write- Resolved 3rd. That we all feel that we shall miss her, and especially will her companions the Infant Class and their loving, faithful teacher, Mrs Nelson, for whom Essie had the fondest love and with whom she was one of the favorites of the class, feel the vacuum that will be made by her little seat be forever hereafter vacant, and her bright smiling face to be seen on earth. Resolved 4th, That realize the happy consolation, founded upon the blessed promise of our text book, the Bible, though sift is not here this morn- in the session of our school she forms one of that innumerable throng in that school up yonder In Heaven in the presence of her loving Jesus who said little children to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of Resolved 5th, That we extend our deepest sympathy to the saddened and bereaved father and mother, and brother, and point them to the only true source of comfort while journeying this earth, a gracious and loving Savior. Resolved That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minute book of this school, a cop- sent to the family of the deceased and a copy to the Eastern Reflector with the re- quest to publish the same. 1893. 1693.

These three papers circulate more large- among all classes of tobacco men than any three tobacco papers in the United States and the fact that such papers give space in their columns to such a subject should prove conclusively to the farmer's mind the of attending strictly to the matter of grading. We have daily evidences that this one thing is neglected more than any- thing else in the management of tobacco it is one of the most important if not the most factor in preparing tobacco for the warehouse. Only a few days ago we saw a row of co on the floor that contained in each grade a general assortment of almost every kind of tobacco imaginable The tobacco aver- aged about and if it had been properly graded it is probable that it would have a load of pounds the difference is More than enough to have employed a first class grader who could have learned the entire family how to grade and made them financial horizon has been bright- of any one in the grading line.

ID- Ar f man i Greenville, N now never expect to be an advocate of paying fancy prices for curing and grading tobacco, at the same time it is very that men should be employ- ed who thoroughly understand the management of tobacco and while we are opposed to paying or per month for curing and for is much better that these prices be paid for a short while until the planter learns himself than to ruin a good crop of tobacco when one load properly handled would pay for all the experience that would be needed in curing or grading. The trouble that we have to contend with now the way of high priced and graders is the result of tho high prices that the eastern planter paid a few years ago when the tobacco industry was first introduced in the eastern counties. Numbers from Granville other counties who had nothing to do at home, came east and were em- ployed by our tobacco planters at exorbitant prices. This of course has caused a great many to come east and they hold to old time custom of asking and dollars for curing and a dollar a day for grading, but the custom is gradually grow in weaker and only a few Pitt now employ curers and graders. Farmers should come squarely down on this outrageous charge. These people who come here to work with you in your tobacco can't be blamed for making the charge if you continue to pay it, but it is a great deal more than they are accustomed to getting where they came from otherwise they would stay at home and not come to this dreaded malarial climate. business circles and adding new life and infusing now blood in all channels of commerce. TOBACCO ADVANCES. All grades of tobacco green tips have advanced fully per cent and bright wrappers and cutters at least per cent- Some trading in old stocks are re- ported to have been made late- which of course increases the demand and makes prices more active for the new crop. Only a few weeks ago when we were ad- vising farmers to hold their bet- grades numbers asked if we had any idea that prices would be sure to follow an easing up of money matters and so told them, and further that we would inform them when prices advanced. As it is impossible for us to see in person everyone of these we take this occasion to say prices have advanced and you car. bring on your tobacco.

Experiment Station at Every man who farms should become acquainted with the structure of plant and the forces exerted by them in growing ; how they take up food from the soil and air. and how they store it away, and the plans for their and care how stable manure may be preserved and utilized ; how lime acts upon the soil, and what soils are most by its application, All these are treated in a way in this bulletin. Green manuring is fully described, as well as the value of recuperative crops and the proper rotation of crops. Some may- say that a discussion of these is not truly experimental in their char- and does not belong in the tins of an experiment station. It ii pretty well settled, however, from the favor with which farmers have re- this bulletin, that they ate its pages. Farmer. Who There are now on the mailing of the C. Agricultural Experiment Station, which have just been revised. names of farmers from North Carolina. The bulletins are mailed free to those who request them and show their appreciation by reading them. All the newspapers in the state receive each publication of the Station as it is issued, as well as various new notes which interest the general read- The bulletins contain matters which are of immediate interest and value to the agriculturists of the State and are written in plain language unscientific readers. Agriculture is based on science, and accordingly sci- matters receive at- at the Station.

There is a serious loss in harvest- corn in the usual way of pulling fodder and the ears. Some recent Experiment Station work serves to bring this out in relief. Mr. J. II. Patterson, of the Maryland Station, publishes some matter showing the lo- cation of the dry matter of the corn plant in three crops examined. of digestibility are given, with composition and total digestible pro- duct of cars, topped fodder, blades, husks and stubble. The results show the ears and blades to have been only 10.59 per cent of the dry matter of the crop. The other parts usually neg- by our farmers consequently amount to 49.41 per cent, or at least one-half. Of the digestible matter 55.08 per cent only was contained in ears and blades. Thus nearly percent of the digestible matter of the crop would be lost by taking only ears and blades from the field. The digestibility of coarse fodder, rich in carbohydrates, is greatly in- creased by feeding with highly materials, such as cotton seed meal. So it would be possible for one to get almost as much digestible food out of the corn stalk left to rot in the field as is saved from the crop in ears and pulled fodder. The simplest way to get the most food out of the corn crop is to cut close to tho ground with short-handled hoes at about the time the fodder would be pulled, and cure In a silo. Lacking the silo, cut the corn in the same way a few days later, or about the time is generally pulled, and shock in the field. Put to pounds in a shock, and stand the buts out open enough to make the shock stand firm and let in the air to dry the corn. Bind the tight to hold together and keep rain. cured, shock out the ears, and what is left, known as stalks, blades and into inch lengths. Feed to cows or work teams with cotton seed meal, wheat bran, or other nitrogenous materials as can be moat readily obtained For nearly balanced ration, feed one pound of meal to four of stover and two of oat straw. The stover alone, fed free- will support an animal at rest and not giving milk. F. E. Agriculturist, N. C. Exp. Station. Tho Horn Fly. The horn-fly an insect pest of it tie, has spread all over the Atlantic States from a single Hoax short line shows exact These p settle on the coat of the animal, in some place where they can- not be reached by the tail or tongue, and then they bite and suck the blood. They often in vast that the animals arc rapidly de- in flesh. Milk cows, especially thin-skinned suffer cruelly, and often fall off or more in milk. The insect does not seem to trouble horses or other animals. This fly lays its eggs in the fresh droppings of cows, and these hatch in- to tiny whitish maggots, which live in the dung three or four days. They then burrow a half inch or so into the ground beneath the manure, and re- main quiet for about five days, at the end of which they emerge as winged flies. The number of generations in a season will depend upon its length. In the South there may be twelve or fifteen. This fly has a habit of settling around the base of the cow's horns, which has led to many absurd stories about the horn. The fly no jaws. It can pierce with its lance, and suck with its but never injures parts except where blood may be found. It settles upon the horns to rest, as the cow cannot easily dislodge them from this place.

In this latitude any fruit trees can be pruned as soon as you choose after the fall of the leaf, but in the case of the peach I usually prefer to do the pruning in February, as then the char- of the buds is more apparent. If fruit trees are properly pruned and at- tended to from the start, there will seldom be any need for heavy cutting. Pruning in the dormant season pro- motes more rapid growth. Too rapid growth is checked and directed by pinching the ends of growing shoots in summer. Our Station will soon have a out on the subject of fruit culture, in which this subject lie more fully treated. manures arc best for fruit trees in gen- dust and wood ashes are a good mixture. Mulching your straw berries will do no harm if not put on too thickly, and pine leaves or straw will be found useful in Spring to pull over the vines as a protection from threat- frost when in bloom, and will keep the fruit clean.

Method of Keeping Irish Will you please give me the beat method t. keep Irish potatoes from rotting after they are dug. if you have such Information at your com- I want to put them up so as to keep winter use. This is why I want the best to do A. B. Durham. N. C. by W. F. Horticulturist Ex- Station. I Early potatoes grown in this climate cannot well lie kept later than Christ- mas. You should raise a fall crop for winter keeping, which keep with ease when put in a dark place and kept only a few degrees above th freezing point. One great reason for failure to keep potatoes is that they are kept too warm. A cold that will make ice on water will not hurt a potato in a bar- rel. If they could be kept in a form atmosphere of to degrees, they would be all tho better. Another reason for failure is keeping them in too light a place. Potatoes should be kept in total darkness, and should put into total darkness as soon as after digging. Not a ray of sun- light should be allowed to reach them at any time. A few hours sunning in the patch, while digging, will spoil the best Irish potato. The early crop may be kept until the late crop is ready, by careful management. Dig them when the soil is dry, and at once spread in a cool dark cellar. In a few days overhaul them, and pick out the rotten ones, and then sprinkle air- slacked lime all through the heap, and do not pile too deeply. If kept cool and dark, they will do until Christmas, when they will soon get worthless from sprouting. Australian Finances.
