Soil by Toledo, O
FREE TRADE AND PROTECTION.
This country is getting nearer
and nearer to free trade. The
people are every year getting a
clearer understanding of the tariff
question. It is not, after all, as
much as the protectionists seek
to befuddle it, a complicated
It is merely one of
whether it is right to tax one man
for of another. From
time immemorial it has been the
policy of this government to raise
the greater part of its revenues
from import duties. In the days
when the republic was young it
was t bought advisable to afford a
certain amount of protection to
the young and struggling
tries, and the idea of revenue and
protection was happily blended
in our laws; but in late years, and
under Republican administration,
protection has become the
dominant idea, and so we have a
class of people who the special
wards of tho government, while
all the balance are not alone cut
adrift from governmental favor
but are becoming the bound serfs
of the protected classes.
It was resentment of this
that called the Democratic party
to the control of the government
in 1892. It is a party which, by
its pledges, its history and
is committed to the doctrine
of equal government. It regards
no one man as better than another
no class entitled to privileges
that all should not enjoy. Those
in the Congress who are true to
it are striving to carry its long-
time principles into effect, and
those who, professedly of its faith,
are striving to balk it of its
poses, are carrying badges of
everlasting infamy. In spite of
foes without and traitors within
it will execute its designs. The
Congress will pass a tariff bill.
It will not be wholly responsive
to the demands of the people; it
will not be all that it has
ed them nor all that they have a
right to expect of it; but it will
pass a bill which will be in the
direction of revenue reform, and
the people, seeing its designs,
will, we firmly believe,
it for another four or six
years, to carry on the work which
it has just begun. We are told
that the pending bill will reduce
the taxes of the people per
cent., or one-fourth. That is not
near as much as it should be,
it is a good deal of and a
deal more in what it promises.
The people, getting this much,
will more, and learning
from the argument how hollow
and one-aided the protectionist
argument is, will eventually, as
we said in the beginning, swing
to the side of free trade, which is
the coming policy

must be taught that tho world
expects uprightness in a man
just as much as it looks for it a
woman. If the men of to-day are
protected by an unfair moral
discrimination, that is no reason
why the men of to-morrow should
be so sheltered. If it is for
women to elevate their conception
of the moral standard for men, it
is for the young men of to-day to
adjust themselves to that higher
measurement. A healthy frank-
between the boys of to-day
and their fathers is the first step.
This is man's part in the aim for
social purity. Women must cease
their blinking at actions in men
which they will not tolerate in
women ; men, to whom experience
has come, must unfold to the
younger men. It is a favor to a
boy that his feelings shall be
analyzed for him by his father ;
that he be taught that his self-
control, or his loss of it, means
an ascent or a descent in the so-
scale. There is no harm in
a father pointing out these things
to his son the harm comes when
the father neglects to do so. A
young man should never be ex-
in any point of morality to
experience what his father can
explain and him against.

The last concerted effort of the

Distribution of Soy Beans.
The X. C. Agricultural Experiment
Station at Raleigh, desiring to extend
the cultivation of Soy Means has pro-
posed to distribute a quantity of seed
to careful planters desiring to test
their merits. The only condition is
that each applicant send lo cents in
postage stamps to pay cost of trans-
by mail. Enough seed will
be sent to each applicant to plant 1-10
acre. The applications will
filled in the order received.
The Station regards this as a very
valuable forage plant. It is of upright
growth to feet high and is a
mine capable of adding nitrogen from
the air to the soil in which it grows. It
is planted in hills or drills 1-2 to 1-2
feet apart according to richness of soil,
and to inches apart in the row.
It can be planted any time from March
to July, either alone or in the corn row
between the corn, and to beans are
planted in each hill. Soil suit-
able to it and the general preparation
is the same as for corn. When planted
for corn both crops can be ensilaged
together, and the corn ensilage will be
much improved by the combination, or
the plants when planted alone can be
cut for forage before they get too
woody. The seed are found in small
pods and can be saved by cutting the
whole plant when leaves and pods
have turned a golden hue. They can
easily be beaten out when dry. If cut-
ting is delayed beyond this time the
pods will open and some will be lost
on the ground. It will not pay to pick
the beans. It is also a good table bean,
but requires a long time to cook. The

Shell lime is merely shells burned.
Rock lime or stone lime is the crude
limestone after it has been burnt. The
combination in all the crude materials
is carbonate of lime, which by the no-
of heat is changed to the oxide of
lime, or caustic lime; building lime is
also the caustic lime. Marl contains
refuse of shells and consequently has a
varying percentage of carbonate of

the balls as large as you choose.
Now take out your old black silk, of

many pieces; but before you begin
with these buy some gilt tinsel
braid about half an inch wide. It
costs about one dollar and a half for
a dozen pieces of ten yards each. At
every three or four yards of your
black cutting sew in a quarter of a
yard of the gilt braid. It will add
much beauty to the weaving. Your
bright silks come next. Cut them
separately. They may not make
many yards, but wind them into a

as six yards, especially if you have
some pretty colors. They will show

six to nine inches from the top of
your curtain. Old silk stockings
weave in beautifully. You should
cut them from the top round and

silk, because it will stretch. It will

of the older residents assert
that when the Indians roamed the
hills near Sharpsburg they knew of.
a cave where lead could be obtained
in large quantities, but that all
efforts to have them divulge the
place was fruitless. When it was
learned that a largo cave had been
discovered the news spread
It was said that It might possibly
be the one from which the. Indians
took their lead, and from that on the
exact location of the cave was made
a secret. Those who know where it
Is are very few. The young men
who explored the cave arc all well
known in Sharpsburg. They are
Fred Roberts, John M. Hughes,
Smith, Harry Miller and
Smith.
Their trip to the cave was made
one evening after dark. They
reached the opening from the bot-
tom of the crevice, which is about
fifteen feet from the ground. To do
this it was necessary to place a fallen
tree against the face of the rocks and
climb up It. John Hughes, with a
torch, was the first to crawl through
the opening. He was followed
Harry and Fred Roberts.
John Hughes attempted to follow,
but was caught fast when but half
way through, and it was several
minutes before he succeeded in ex-
himself. The passageway
opens into a room fully seven feet
square. An opening to the left
leads into another and much larger
room. It is fully as wide as the other
and runs back about thirty feet.
Half way back a stream of water can
be heard running over the top and
down the sides of the wall. No
stream of water runs anywhere out-
side of the cave. At the far end is
an opening resembling the one at the
entrance to the cave, but what is
beyond Is not known. A heavy
fits neatly in the opening,
and all efforts to remove it have
proved fruitless.
The sides of the cave are smooth
and the roof is arched. Bones of
small animals are scattered about
the rocky floor, showing that the
cave is frequented probably by foxes.
How the latter could get into the
cave is a mystery, as the opening
is so high above the ground. Tho
same young men are making prep-
to remove the large
and get beyond the second room.

party and made a visit to the
cave, the result of which was great-

other and more thorough

A few days ago several workmen
were engaged in stone to
be used in repairing the township
pike. The quarry is located near
the summit of a deep ravine, from
the sides of which protruded large
overhanging rocks. One of tho men,
Harry Smith, noticed an opening
along the top and down the face of
one of these projections and care-
rolled a stone into it. When
the stone struck what appeared to
be the bottom of the crevice it took
a course to the left and disappeared.
Another stone was rolled Into the
opening and It followed the course
of the previous one. Smith was
greatly surprised and hastened to
inform his fellow workmen.

of the opening, several feet from the
face of the rock and to the left, was
found a round hole about fifteen
inches in diameter. The hole was

Through a miscalculation of time
a professional gambler was caught
one Sunday in a small country town
and was obliged to remain over

It was a dull and gloomy day at
best and was particularly so for tho

A BAD HALF HOUR.
He Got Away, But the Beauty of That
Chair Was Ru
At the home of a popular girl in
this city a most uncomfortable half
hour was recently spent by a modest
youth who had called to see her. The
youth is noted for both
and nervousness.
The night in question he went
with a friend to the girl's house. He
look a comfortable seat in a large
armchair, and, as was his habit, soon
to nervously poke his lingers
into cracks and holes in the
mental parts of the chair. He shoved
one finger a hole in this manner,
but found, to his dismay, that his
knuckle positively refused to come
back through the hole.
The more the young man worked to
release his finger the harder It was,
as the finger became swollen. The
youth was too to mention the
ridiculous predicament into which
he had gotten himself, but bore the
pain in silence. He suffered untold
agony for fear his friend would go
before he released his finger.
Finally the hostess his
parent uneasiness. The youth, with
many blushes, then told the cause.
It was not until half an hour later
that the bashful youth and the chair
parted company. The butler finally
succeeded in releasing the finger

interested in one without learning
of the other. Small and obscure
countries, such as Tonga,

We have only to look at the
stamps of France to see its change
from republic to empire, and empire
to republic. Successful revolutions
throughout the world are almost in-
variably followed by a change in its
stamps, while the portraits on the
various issues make the collector
familiar with tho faces of thousands
of tho world's great men.
Aside, however, from these two
studies, there are many paths which
will lend the collector into more In-
fields, and those more closely
connected with the world's business
ways. Among these are methods of
engraving and printing, tho
varieties of paper, such as laid,
plated, tinted, embossed, etc., while
the great scheme of raising the rev-

collecting of tho match, medicine

The period before tho Introduction
of government postage stamps is

being that of our New York post-

years before the regular government

Died.
Miss Maria Anderson, and aged
lady of this town, died last Thurs-
day afternoon at the residence of
Mrs. W. A. Bernard, in which her
home had been for a great many
years- She was in her 79th year.
For some years she had been in
poor health, and was confined
two months in her last sickness.
She knew that she could not get
well, and bore her sufferings with
Christian patience, waiting trust
fully the summons from above to
lay down the cross and take up
the crown- In early life, when
living in she professed
faith in Jesus and united with
the Baptist church. She served
her Savior faithfully through
life, and fell asleep on Him as
peacefully as rests a little child
in its mother's arms. The burial
took place in the Baptist church
yard Friday afternoon, services
conducted at the grave by Rev.
J. The pall bearers
were Messrs- J. J. Cherry, U. D.
J. White, W. L. Brown,
J. S- Smith and H- C. Hooker.

Mr. Mrs. F. G. James was
visited and one of their children
taken. On that morning little
Pattie, their infant daughter aged
months, died after a few weeks
illness. Permitted to live upon
the earth long enough to entwine
herself around the hearts of fond
parents, they are called upon to
pass under the rod of affliction,
the chords of love are broken,

for 1894, and to elect a County

Magistrates and Commissioners
present.
County Attorney A. L. Blow
made a statement for the Com-
missioners showing that the total
receipts for tho last fiscal year
were nearly more than the
expenses for running the county
government, and if the
had no improvements in
contemplation the same levy as
last would raise sufficient
revenue to meet all expenses for
the coming year.
The Question of building n
vault in the Court House for the
protection of the county records
was discussed and G- T Tyson
offered the motion that the levy
be raised from to cents on
the valuation, the surplus to
be in constructing a vault
This motion did not meet with a
second.
J. J- Laughinghouse stated that
under the present hard times and
financial stringency he did not
think it wise to make a higher
levy or to launch out any
just now,
moved that the levy be made the
same as for last year- This met
with a second.
D. C. Moore offered an amend-
which was accepted, that
the motion state that the tax levy
shall be cents on each
valuation, cents on poll,
and on all B.
taxes tho same as levied by the
State the section relating
to marriage licenses.
J. B- Little offered a further
amendment that the county levy
one dollar on marriage licenses.
G. T. Tyson said he was a mar-
man and was in favor of
all the unmarried brethren a
chance, therefore was opposed to
this amendment. Tho amend-
was lost, and the county
places no tax on marriage license.
The vote was then taken on the
original motion as amended which
was unanimously adopted.

Last week F. M- Smith, H. F.
Keel, Henry and the
writer were summoned to Hen-
to appear as witnesses
the case Barnes vs. Galloway.
As there seems to be quite an
interest shown in the case by a
good many of our people we give
a few of the particulars.
Last Fall E. G. Barnes and H.
P. Keel, soliciting tobacco for D-
Y- Cooper, went to Mr. James
Galloway's and offered to buy his
tobacco from him at the
Mr. Galloway told thorn he
ed to start his children to school
and for that reason he was
to sell it where it was. Mr-
Galloway one price, so he
says and Barnes and Keel refused
to give it. Finally was
upon, Barnes and Keel
agreeing to have the tobacco
graded and Mr. Galloway was to
haul it to depot. Mr. Barnes
says he agreed to send ft grader
as soon as ho could conveniently
do so, while Mr. Galloway seems
to understood that he wan
to send a grader nest day
About s week and as no
grader come Mr. Galloway
says he thought the trade was
and sold the tobacco to Mr
F. M- Smith for Smith
agreeing to have the tobacco
graded as Barnes had done. It
seems that after the last trade
had been consummated Mr.
grader put in his appear-
but not until after Smith's
man was already there at work.
Mr. Galloway told him what he
and so the grader went
back told Barnes. Smith
had the tobacco graded oat and
sold on the Eastern Warehouse
floor. The gross sides amounted
to about and immediately
Mr. Barnes brought suit against
Mr. Galloway for the difference
between the amount he was
to pay for the tobacco and what
it brought on the Warehouse
floor. At this term of the Vance
county Superior Court the case
was to have been tried. Mr.
Galloway had secured the
vices of Maj. Latham to try
Mr. Galloway is quite an
old man and very much regret-

war. Said he bad stayed at

to his own business and let others

warranted on his own business
and had tried to live an honest
life and now at this stage of his
life he bated to be forced into a
law suit. The excitement and
annoyance of being from home
on Monday night forced him to
ask Maj. Latham to
a compromise if he could do
so on reasonable terms. Tues-
day morning was agreed upon
to meet Mr.
lawyer at his office and see what
could be done in the way of a
compromise. Barnes agreed to
a compromise of if Mr. Gal-
would pay all the cost

stands sorely in need of
a port in the eastern portion of the
Mediterranean where can coal
provision her ships preparatory
to making her eventful descent upon
Constantinople, which is within
striking distance of the Piraeus. As
admiral-in-chief of the
squadron i f Russia, Queen
can scarcely refuse hospitality to
what practically her own ships,
and hence the czar really acquires
Athens as headquarters
for his navy in the eastern waters
of the great inland sea.
From her earliest childhood, ac-
cording . to a writer in the New
York Journal, Queen Olga has
been accustomed to the sea, a fact
due in great measure to her father
having been the sailor prince of
Russia and the high admiral of tho
Muscovite empire. She has, tho
late Lady passed the exam-

a full-fledged sailing master, and is
able to navigate both sailing vessels

It is no secret that much of Em-

his sister, the crown princess of
Greece, and especially toward his
brother-in-law, the crown prince, is
due to the knowledge that the court

instead of with the triple alliance.
He had hoped when his sister mar-
the duke of Sparta to convert
Greece into an adherent, but has
sadly disappointed and deeply
angered by the absolute refusal of
the crown princess to prefer the
interests of the land of her birth to
that of her husband, a country over
which she will one day reign. This
is the real secret of Emperor
refusal to hold any inter-
course whatsoever with his sister

One use of politeness is to ease

is no violation of truth in availing

But in town, with its multiform and
