THE BLIGHT OF POPULISM.
Thousands of good citizens in
Kansas and Colorado view with
alarm the results of populist rule
in those states, and unless there
is a speedy change for the better
a wholesale exodus may bi ex-
the populists gained
control of Kansas and Colorado
they started a legislative crusade
against corporations capital-
The railroads were crippled
and their owners were left with
hardly any protection for their
property rights. The great
lending companies whose
loans had largely built up the
west were made to feel the in-
conveniences of hostile
and it was even threatened
that stay laws would be passed to
prevent the collection of debts.
Naturally, this policy caused
of capital and enterprise to
lose confidence in tho populist
states- They withdrew their
money, and the financial cir-
of the world Kansas and
Colorado were practically black-
listed. Real estate rap-
idly and there were no buyers.
Well-to-do people moved away,
and commerce and industry were
half paralyzed.
This was the condition of
fairs in a short time after the
populists got into power, and
matters have been growing worse
ever since. The discontent of
the people has provoked an
of lawlessness, and the
authorities have done very little
to promote the interests of peace
and order. Such an object
son could not be lightly passed
over by the people of other states,
and it is a significant fact that
since populism has reached its
climax in Kansas and Colorado
it has declined everywhere else.
In a dozen states thousands of
good men, who joined the
lists two years ago, have left them
returned to their old party
organizations. They have found
it impossible to endorse the wild
experiments of the populists in
the two status which they have
well nigh ruined, and they have
come to the conclusion that it is
better to patiently bear the evils
of the present than, to confront
something worse. the country
at large populism is dead. Its
success in Kansas and Colorado
killed it. and no very earnest
effort will be made anywhere to
revive the Con-
One important work for the
month is the early gathering of
the cotton, which should engage
our careful attention. That the
cotton should pick as fast as
it opens, no farmer will
dispute- Every experienced
farmer knows that there are
reasons for this, first
opening near the ground,
if left for any length of time, is
much more liable to injury from
rain and dirt than the bolls high-
up. Again, the first picking,
weighs heavier. Another
is that it is much easier to
get a clean sample
leaves are green than
have become
is that when
is picked in smaller
much easier to manage than if it
is left to accumulate in the field,
the gathering is less hurriedly
and carelessly done, and the en
tire is not at once

out the intermediate process of
and drying, so
to the turning out of a good
sample. This is one point to
carefully watched. The price of
our cotton, low at best, is
ally reduced by any or
cutting of the sample. The ear-
cotton is damp and green, and
unless carefully dried, the process
of ginning leaves much of the lint
on the seed, and that turned out
is of very poor quality. There
are many plans of drying which
are suggested by the ingenuity
and surroundings of each
farmer. The point to be
aimed at is to get our cotton to
market in the best condition
The Classification is be-
coming much more strict each
year, and the careless man loses
much, which his more careful
brother is able to glean from at

and unimportant
loss to the farmer is from the
condition in which our us-
reaches the general market.
As little as most farmers realize it,
this has rise to the heavy
tare, which is a dead loss, and
which falls not on the buyer,

Parmele Items.
Sept- 24th, 1894.
Mrs. F. returned from
Norfolk last week, where she had
been visiting for some time.
The picnic here on Thursday,
inst, is the order of the week-
Hope not rain.
J. C- paid our hamlet
a short call on Tuesday
from Jacksonville to Suffolk.
Rev. R. W. Hines is conduct-
a series of meetings at Roan-
church near this
week.
G. J. Cherry, Esq., returned
from Norfolk, last Thursday, and
says he had in one.
Business trip of course-
Some of our boys took in Great
Swamp Sunday and report a very
large, broad time. Yearly meet-
are too long between times.
Parmele is getting rather dull.
Think some of the girls might
take pity on and come rush us
again. No water on the ground
here now.
We are sorry to say Mr. Walter
Howard, of Conetoe, is still quite
ill. Walt, is one of boys
when he is well, and we wish for
him a speedy recovery.
Mr. Harry left this A. M.
for Va., to re-en
College, after
spending his vacation in Parmele
and Jacksonville-
Mr. Wm. Powell is having his
residence painted, which adds
much to its appearance- Oh for
more houses to paint. Parmele
has plenty of painters.
Messrs. H- G- Burton and
spent yesterday at Mil-
I think they were looking
per-
after some very valuable
property.
Messrs. J. N. Smith. T. F.
Whitley and R- R. Branch, spent
last evening in Greenville and
came home some time in the
hours of the night, oh so
sleepy.
We are pained to mention the
death of Miss Margaret Little,
who is supposed to have passed
away while asleep, on the
morning of the 20th inst. We
extend warmest sympathy to
the family and share
them their sad affliction.
Quite a little excitement here
on last Tuesday night called
many from their peaceful slum-
to the rescue of the burning
depot. The P. E L.
and water works assisted
by the good people of the near
vicinity, were equal to the
and soon rendered things
safe-

mysteriously disappeared on Sun-

told his children they might go
off in the neighborhood also.
When the family returned in the

and what money he had in the
house were also missing. For
several days nothing was heard
from him and his family was very
uneasy about him, but he has
since returned home.
