During the week the weather has been warmer than usual generally turougbout the northern states and on the Pacific coast, average daily excess being about degrees from New England to the upper" Mississippi yalley and about seven degrees on the Pacific coast.

It was cooler than usual throughout the, southern states, and in the cotton region the. daily average was about three degrees below the normal. The excess of temperature throughout the northern states during the past two weeks and KAcconJing to the Oharfotte ('Uronidc Mr. A. II.

or Gazette. Plkasant Ridge, N. July 11, 1887. Allow me to tell your many readers what I saw while on a strolf through Gaston, and also what I learned through observers of what they term facts. Wheat is generally threshed, with as good yield of the very finest quality as has ever been produced in Gaston.

We will have one glorious thing, to boast of, and that is, we will have 'as good wheat to make fine bread out of as any people in the world, for we can produce it, because we live in the Piedmont region where everything will grow that will sustain animal life. We have a glorious country and ought to be proud of our birth-place, because it is our home, if nothing else. Corn has never been better, I am sure, in forty years, because I know what I write. I have lived long euougli to know what had happened iu the last' forty years or say forty-five. It has been said that we live in a fast and progressive age, which is admitted for the present, but this year will stop some of this progression.

There will be no use in any farmer living two years in advance of his means on the mortgage system, provided lie will dispose of three-fourths' of his dog prop erty and turn the proceeds thereof into pigs and make himself a self-support ing institute, and get out of the ruin ous mortgage system. The present outlook shows well for the country. There will be cotton enough made to pay all the debts, or nearly so: I never saw cotton finer and blooming so early as now. With the super-abundant wheat crop the corn crop will make on ample supply of bread, and by destroying the worth less dogs and feeding hogs i instead, this State will have no just cause to import into its limits a single pound of meat. Onr colored population should be taught this lesson especially.

Every farmer should look directly after his own interest. Now is the time to turn land for the next wheat crop, and there is some of it being done in upper Gaston. The farmers have formed themselves into a body, which is styled, The Farmers'' Associated Union," Sin upper Gaston, and jointly through an agent, make orders for any and all kinds of merchandise, sending with the orders the cash, and receive their groceries, dry-goods, at wholesale prices, with a discount for cash. They epjoy low pvices, and the greatest beauty in it, there is no debt to pay in the fall This course, or soniething of jlike natc ure, will go far to relieve the bant 4 horny-handed farmer, who has borne the hea-t and burden of the and feel like their business or occupation is held in derision by the wise men of the land; but not so; theirs is the most "honorable and profitable of occupations and every farmer should so feel, and, when he justly considers tliat he or they feed all, clothe all, and pay all that is paid, he or they have just cause to reioice in the occupation they fol low. Who produces the bread that poten tates, princes, priests, kings and presi dents eat? The fanner: Let all farmers take courage from this year's experience and press their calling, making such improvements upon their interests as their sound judgment dictates to them: and not wait for otlie rs to make new dis coveries and can mm a mgoi, wno is always trying to make progress and headway in the farminsr interest tin worhVa prosjterittf.

i I Every man should feel proud in the prosection of business and always try to improve and make himself a model specimen of his trade or occupation, and theywill gain the applause of all thinking people and at the same time make his calling profitable as well as honorable. Every person should have a business and from it should make a living and be self-supporting and be independent instead of dependent. It is very bad to be dependent upon the will of others. One of the best ways that I now suggest to farmers to be self-supporting and independent is to plant a variety crop, and you are almost certain to get a good price for a portion of your sur plus, if not all. Success to the farmer! Bon Peak.

I heard one of our best farmers say that the crops are not only Looming, but are boomerang lag! In my last communication I promis ed to inform your readers of the result of the "abortive fracas," which oc curred on the 25th of June, between Henry Wilson and Michael Rhodes. The parties appeared before the High Court on the Uth (the day set for the trials), and, the parties not be ing ready for trial for the want of a witness who was sick, the cases were continued until the 23d of July at 10 o'clock a. sharp.

"In the sweat of thv face shalt thou eat bread." The Board of Equalization was in session at the courthouse several days last week hearing complaints as to the valuation of property raising some property that was valued too low and reducing other that was valued too ligh by the boards of assessors of the different townships. The Secretary of the Board of Ap praisers or tue Chester auu ljenoir XariMW-Gange Railroad, of Newton, NrCV.

has forwarded to the Mayor of Dallas the valuation per mile of said road in North Carolina. It was for warded for the purpose of enabling the town commissioners of Dallas to levy town taxes. Said Board of Appraisers value the roadbed with sidings per mile, throuchout "the "length of the road (sixty-eight miles) in this State, it :32.jO, and the rolling-stock and all other propertjat S230 per mile, mak ing the total valuation 3500. per mile. A prominent farmer says that if the planters of this section would quit foolin' with guano, and cotton, and liens, and plant their ground in Aradtis hipotjcPds (goobers), they would make roni four to eight times as much money per acre, wuii aoout one-nan the work, as they now do raising cotton." He savs further that a man had better plant any thing even com mon cowpeas than to plant cotton in this naturally grain-growing section of country, and the sooner they quit rais ing cotton the better it will be for them and nearly everybody This old fellow's head is level, but not flat on top.

Advices from the coke region state that the strikers at Jimtown marched down to the works last night and by firing revolvers in the air and otherwise men acing the workmen frightened a number of them away. The Pinkerton men at West Leisin- ring were notified and a. detachment of twenty-five armed men was sent to guard the works. Everything is quiet this morning and the non-union men who were frightened off have all returned to work. The strike is now as far from set tlement as ever.

The operators however are determined to the result of operations, and new men will be im ported as soon as arrangements can be made to accomodate them. The work of evicting the strikers will now be prosecuted with great vigor as the houses will'be needed for the new men. (iottotx Futures in New York. New York, July 12.

The Chapel Dedicated. The new chapel erected by the con gregation of the Second Presbyterian church, on the corner of Sixth and Graham streets, was dedicated last Sunday afternoon, with appropriate ceremonies. Dr. A. W.

Miller, pastor of the First Presbyeerian church, de livered the sermon and was listened to with great attention and interest by the large congregation. Music was furnished by the choir of the Second Presbyterian church ana iorinea pleasant leature or tue Washington D. 1 July 11, 1S87. To show the vanity of all the speculation as to the successor of the late Justice Woods, it is only necessary to mention the fact 'that as the new Justice cannot take his seat oii the Bench until he is confirmed by United States Senate, so then it is not at all probable that the appointment will be made before Congress meets in December, for as the old saying goes, the President does not believe in crossing a bridge till he gets to it." The President's abandonment of his proposed visit to St. Louis is a theme of absorbing interest and discussion, and volumes pro and con have been written and spoken about it.

The President's action has had two opposite effects on Grand Army men, oiie faction plumes itself in having repulsed the President, while the other reluctantly yields him respect and admiration for his resolute moral courage, which, so far; has been equal to every requirement throughout his illustrious career. The next day after the ap pearance of President Cleveland's let ter withdrawing his acceptance of Ills St. Louis visit, one hundred and fifty members of General Lander post, Grand Army of the Republic, of Lynn, called upon the President, gave him three ringing cheers warmly welcomed to the White House by a patriotic speech from the President. Under the authority of Congress, Senator Cockrell is drawing to a close his investigation of the methods of cpnducting-the business of the various departments and it is hoped that if no other beneficial result is secured, provision at least jwill be made for the settlement of the accounts' of disburs- ng officials before grim death cheats the penitentiary. The colored people of the South are coming forward as complainants before the Interstate Commission in a renewed effort to secure their so-called civil rights by forcing themselves to ride in de same cyar wid de white folks." I think it would be well to dub-the Commission, The Grand High Court of Complaints," as scarcely a day passes without every conceiv- ible sort of protest and petition being gravely presented for their consideration.

Despite the great clamor raised by the railroads against the alleged in genious effects of the Interstate act, it would be well to note the significant fact that the net earnings of principal roads for the month of June, 1887, is' greatly in excess -of the sum earned during: the same, period last year. -No bettei'argunleht could be adduced in favor of the law. A great sensation was created in the Treasury by the arrest ot Oscar J. Harvey, chief of a Division in the Controller' Office, for forgeries amounting; to The defaulter had prepared -his papers to forge accounts amounting to and the only thing that prevented him from realizing the sum was the delay of Congress iu making the appropriation -it certainly would have been made but for thedetection of Harvey's steal, because it is a portion of the Deficiency Appropriation.

We are glad to be able to report this week that it has been definitely settled that there is to be a bank in Gastonia. At a meeting of citizens held in the Town Hall last week, the matter was considered and discussed, andthe result was that Mr. J.

II. -Craig and Mi. L. L. Jenkins, (both men of means), upon the assurance of encouragement and supiort by the people, have decided to open up a private banking institution and to have it ready for business by the first of August.

They will business relations with New Yorkind be prepared to buy and sell exchange, discount paper, loan money, receive deposits and do all kinds of collecting; and, in fact, any business that is done by any regular and well organized bank. One of the features strikes us as be- in 2 of decided merit. It is to receive deposits in small amounts on open account, and whenever the deposit amounts to So, the depositor can should they so desire, take a certificate of deposit, which certificate after a certain time will draw interest.
