VOLUME 20.
Boston man about it and he
smtled a smile of incredulity,
and I had to get Appleton's
Biography and read old Jesse
Grant's letter to him-Tthe
letter he wrote to General
Grant Wilson in 1868 and lold
him how Ulysses broke down
in St. Louis in 1860 and could
n'tf make a living, and so he
sent him to Galena to clerk for
Simpson, his oldest brother, for
800 a year, and he told Ulyss -es
that the $800 with the rent
of his house and the hire of his
slaves in St. Louis, ought to
support him. Then I told him
about . Mrs. Lincoln's brother,
uapt. iood, wno iougnt on onr
side during the war; and he
haiT'never heard of that. My
recollection is that the Todd
family were slave owners too,
but 1 am not certain.
General Grant's father and
Mrs. Lincoln's father lived in
Kentucky when the war begun.
It'is most astonishing how lit
tle some people know about
.thle war.
General Grant was a pro
slavery man as late as October,
1862, but yon can't make the
negroes believe it. : They have
been told so many lies that
they don't know what to be
lieve. Historical lies are still
in! force. jEven so responsible
a jnagazine as the Centuiy is
sull allowing them in its col
umns. The January number
has dark hints from Hay and
Nicolay that Jefferson Davis
countenanced assassination,and
the February number has $
rehah of , that old lie about;
Mr. Davis being arrested in
woman's apparel a lie that
his been hailed to the wall by
Senator Reagan and Bnrton N.
Harrison and the faithful
servant, Jimmy Jones, and
now since the death of the
giteat leader his slanderers have
come to life again. I am glad
to; bee that the ''Confederate
Vetean" of Atlanta is equal to
the occasion and has republish
ed the tiue version of the cap
ture. When a man is the Ihero
of any big thing he will natur
ally overlook the occurence and
make himself out a bigger hero
than he was. These men who
arrested Mr. Davis have told
tliat'lie so long and so' often
that they are just obliged to
stick to it. In fact 1 reckon
they have told it so often that
they believe it. Men will
do that: I knew an old
niau who fifty years ago, used
to tell us how he settled in the
i'orks of the rivers at Rome be
tore the Injuns come and that
he knew the Coosa riyer when
itj was a little spring branch,
and he had jumed across it a
thousand times. Old ' "Uncle
JaJ'e'as they call him,had told
tjjat no often that he really
Relieved it and he would show
fight in a minute if anybody
intimated that he was mis
taken. But .he question is not about
that revamped lie, but that a
magazine like the Century
would lend its columns to such
a! slander. Suppose it was true,
what does it amount to ? Who
is benefitted . by it ? Is it of
any-' historical consequence ?
Mr.-JDavis was trying to escape
CHpfure, and what of it ? Tbe
Northern papers used to pub
lish how Mr.Lincoln disguisted
himself in a .Scotch cap and
oliak when he first went to
'Vashington, but those slanders
yever received countenance at
the South. Only a few days
ago a Northern press told how
Mr. and Mrs. Blaine, although
overwhelmed with grief, were
hissed in the Catholic Church
because they did not make the
sign of the cross 'and kneel as
they entered the church xn the
occasion of their daughter's
funeral. " What kind of people
are they in Washington ? Have
they no feeling, no considera
tioii for the grief that is most
crushing. What a people
what a people ! Bring me an
other handkerchief
; But the South is coming to
tbe front at last. The true his
tory of the war is beiog writ
,eu. Even Brick Pomeroy has
flared to publish a tribute to
Jeiierson Davis. A lew more
years will see our' slanderers
all dead and then maybe we
will have peace. The "Con
federate Veteran," of Atlanta,
has made a good beginning in
preserving the record and I1
hope that our people will pat
ronize it and perpetuate it. It
is a monthly magazine and the
subscription price is only two
dollars a year. Let every vet
eran take it for the sake of his
children and grandchildren so
.that they may not be ashamed
that their fathers fought and
bled in defence of principles
they believed to be right. The
veteraus will soon pass away.
Ours will for they are not
tempted by pensions to over
live their time. Just think Of
it. The government has 489,
725 pensioners on the roll
H'inore pensioners than we had
"soldiers at the close of the war,
yes twice as many and they
increased thirty-seven thous
and . during the last twelve
months. They are not dying,
but multiplying. They must be
done like a feller at Missionary
Ridge who had a contract to
exhume the scattered bones of
the Federal dead tmd haul
them to Chattanooga to be
buried in the National Ceme
tery. He divided the bones
and mixed them with hog
bones and cow bones and any
other bones and so managed to
fill two cofans from every grave
and got paid according! y.; They
say there is many a grave in
(that cemetery that has no skull
in it. But let us an nave peace.

THE NEW RULES-
They Open ttie Doors of the Treas
tirjr to all Sorts of Jobs.
The new code of rules drafted
by the stranglers in the House
of Representative ought to be
styled "a code of rules to sim
plify and facilitate the business
of the lobbyist." Heretofora
called to Washington was some
times put to great loss of time
in hunting up the Congressmen
whom he wanted to f,see," and
sometimes to great expense to
persuade these Congressman to
see these things as he saw them,
and he semetimes spen
months, when he had import
tant business on hand, in this
audurous and expensive labors
keeping open quarters in ;the
meantime in some of the tony
caravansaries. Under the new
rules this may be all dispensed
with, for as they put it in the
power of the Speaker to count
a quorum whenever it suits his
convenience or interest, if there
don t happen to be one present,
and thus leave it in Lis power
to decide the fate of any warm
ly contested measure that
comes before the House, the
lobbyist may dispense with
the needless formalities of
seing" and "persuading"
members and simply "see" and
"persuade" the Speaker, which
will answer the purposes quite
as well, if not better, and save
him a good deal of time trot
ting around and considerable
incidental expenses. You
might rake Washington " with a
fine-tooth comb and you could
n't find a lobbyist who isn't in
hearty and enthusiastic accord
witn the- majority ; on the new
code of rules. .The probabili
ties are that they had a pretty
considerable hand in fixing
them up. Wilmington Star.

A Heavy Mortgage-
The "boss" mortgage was re-
gisted in this county last week.
It was executed by a citizen of
this county to a citizen of Ran-
dolpn, and was made to secure
a debt amounting of the im
mense sum of sixty-one cents.
The property conveyed in this
mortgage was a single barrel
gun and a scythe, and the
officers' fees (it was probated in
Randolph and then sent here)
for its probate and registration
amounted to seventy-five cents.
Is there another such mortgage
in North Carolipa? We hope
not ! Chatham Recorder.

The Wilmington Star thinks
the pecan culture might be
made a profitable industry if
our farmers would give it atten

anywhere the hickory nut tree
will, and if protected from
stock until they get a fair start,
require no further attention.
For timber purposes the tree
is valuable, while the nuts find

TOBA CCO GROWING,
The tobacco growers of the
State have had, the past seaso n
more success than the growers
ot any other clean cultivated
crop. While the leaf has been
light in weight, it has been
generally fine in texture.
i Having heard much of the
success attained in the tobacco-
growing s in Nash County,
paid a visit to that locality a
few days since, to see and know
for myself. While there was
tbe guest of Mr. R. H. Ricks
who has probably attained as
great success in the growing of
fine tobacco as any man in the
State at least for the past ten
years.
' Mr. Ricks had the past season
In tobacco, forty-five acres. The
average production per acre
was 725 pounds, for which he
will relize at least forty-five
cents per pound. He has sold
half his crop, forty-five cents
being the average. What he
has to sell Is equally as fine, if
not better.. Seven hundred and
twenty -five pounds per acre, at
forty-fivecent per pound, is a
calculation easely made, and
shows an income which sur
passes anything connected with
farming that has come under
my observation ? in .: the State.
Mr. Ricks informed me that
j he had a white man : employed
j for tlier past five, years as a
tenant, and that this tenant
had saved from his part of the
crop during that time $5,000 in
cash, with which he now wishes
to buy a place of his own.
Mr. Ricks' lands,5 and also
those of neighbors (who are
also doing well in' growing
tobacco), is light sandy, with
an original growth of long leaf
pine, small oaks and hickory.
There are thousands of acres of
just such lands in the Southern
portion of Anson dp Rich
mond counties, and also in
Robeson couniy, that ; with the
same intelligent- management
will produce asiine tobacco as
the Nash County lands.'
Mr. Ricks manures his laads
very heavily, using from twenty
to tnirty dollars worth per
acre. He considers the use of
five or six two-horse wagon
loads of - stable manure in
dispensable to successful to
bacco growing, which is In
cluded in the above amount of
cost per acre.
Mr. Ricks is a very practical
man and grpws clover and the
grasses, and is raising horses,
cows, and fine hogs. He also
has considerably dairy interests
I learned from him this fact
that he could not grow clover
and cotton together; that is
cotton will not "grow on land
that has been in clover, neither
will it grow in close proximity
to it. -
I saw a similar communica
tion in the Southern Cultivator
and Dixie Farmer, in which the
writer asked to have the matter
explained why he could not
grow cotton after clover. This
is a matter that should be in
vested by the Experiment
Statiens of the cotton States
and is a'proper field ofinvestiga
tion for the farmer. John Rob

In Germany a railway flag
man at the crossing at a small
station thought he had the
grip when all the other em
ployes of the, road were getting
leave of absence for the same
cause, and applied to the com
pany's doctor to be examined.
The doctor could not spare the
time to stop at such a small
place, so he telegraphed to the
flagman to be . standing beside
the track when the train went
past, with his tongue out, and
he would examine him on the

stood with his tongue out all

Inflation is the epithet whijh he
applies to monay when it is plenti
ful enjught to do the business of
the people. Inflated blow op; he

as it begins to circulate aciong the

The thousands and tens of thous

are occurring yearly don't alarm
him; the vlukeoe the dollar
IS INCREASING ALL THE TIME. He
locks wLb calm complacency npon
his next-door neighbors' assignx

Business stagnation,' until there's
not much left to stagnate distnrbs
not this financial stoic. His eye is
fixed in texror over- the distant
panic and distress all around him
he dos not seem to; his vacant
gaze is upon the panic of his im
agination. .Now tais pinic fetich
worshipper js not such a fool as he
appears to be. He knows that
panics occur' more irom contraction
than from inflation and with far
worse consequences; He knows
that 'Black Friday,' the worBt
panic this country has ever seen
was due to contraction. He and
his allies hail pumped the 'wind'
out of .Sliver (uemonitized it) so
that it would not circulate (pi y
debts) any more. 'Black Iriday'

So there are panics aud. panic
but the panics be has his traze .of

If the Yankee.through the general
gpveTnroen', had left us to masage
or.r Own financial affair, we could
by the powers of our State govern
ment, have broken much ot the
force of his financial discrimination
When : be demonitized silver, we
would- have increased our paper
circulation. If cain; was hoarded
by his cupidity, and bis paper cur
rency limited in value, we could
have isaned a . dollar based
npon our State - bonds. We
would create a "home market' for
our own credit and uot be forced
to allow it to be . determined by
how much -tJie- gamblers ot Wall
street aie willing to bet upon it.
If the maoaoios of Federal monopo
ly were stricken ctt our State gov
ernment, we could make a dollar
with one hundred cent in it which
would circulate and which he could
tfbt mopolize. He has allowed
the State to issue bonds which
measure its credit with him, but
bas refused to allow the issue of
notes uponjthese, the measure of
the States credit with its own
people. 'Free trade with him and j
tor himno trade with ourselves !
That's why ho favors 'free trade'
between the States he gets the
profits of the 'trade' he favors
'protection' as between him and
foreign countries he gets the
profits of it also and it is profit
he is howling after m both free
trade and protection. It the
scoundrels are honestly in favor of
a home market why don't they let
i6 build up one for our bonds and
our dollar t
If they are in favor of free trade
between the States, why don't they
make banking free and why do
they tax every Southern dollar ten
cents every time it pays a debt
The Yankee has made him a dol;
ar he can use, he calls it 'national
money,' and no doubt he thinks he
is the nation. But we can't use it
to anybodv's advantage but his.

The greatest Invention of mod

The paper? dollar ! The pro
duction of gold and silver money
is limited by natare still lurtner
db legislation (as the United States I
uy nulling coinage;, oau lunuei
by avarice, cupidity and specula
tion (stopping circulation alter
coinage.) Still further by worship
in some countries. bull further
by ornamentation in all countries
Of all the misuses of the precious
metals the Yankee's limiting their
coinage is most impious, because
It assumes that the Almighty didn't
know how much silver was going
to be needed in tbe world and
made too much ! Probably this
accouuts for why Bob Jngersol:
was the hero of the money chan
gers at the (Juicago convention,
Germany, next to Yankeedom,
the most infidel country on earth,
has also criticised the handiwork
of the Lord for making any silver
at all. She demonitizss it alto
gether. 1 have often wondered
through which part of the earth's
Crust hell would burst up at first,
Yankeedom or Germany.
Money mads out ot the precious
metals, being limited then the
invention ot paper money was a
necessity. Mainly by necessity
but partly also by habit, which has
become second nature, men mast
have a common, measure of values
as a medium of exchange and a
common carrier and distributer ot
pronertv. Itisof infinite advan
tage and convenience in both ca
pacities. If there is uot enough
to measnre values, business is
clogged. If there is not enough
to distribute valuea of property
all transactions sutler. $01311 ones
first and most. The business-of
the country must, be done some
how; measure of values (dollars)
being fewer, they must do more
work to the measure, (i. e.) measure
off more property with a dollar.
A., promised 13., six months ago
to pay Lim a dollar's worth o I
wheat. Suppose a dollar measures
NOW ten cents more wheat than
it did then. A lose3 ten cents
worth of wheat. This loss occurred
because somebody enlarged the
dollar measure pending, tbe con
tact, Ycu.see A contracted to
pay for this wheat in dollars.
Everybody makes his contracts in
this way. That's why enlarging
the valure of the dollar effects
everybody. He has been obliged
to pay more -thaj he promised to
pay After you have, got most
everybody in debt, jou can keep
him ko just by enlarging the
measures of his debt and making
him pay in these measures. When
A made that mortgage, five years
ago, he promised to pay in dollars
that would measure off one-tenth
of an acre of land each. Now A
must pay . with dollars that "will
measure off one-fifth of an acre
each, ''-''!'
tNine-tenhg of our people belong
to tbe debtors class. Their having
to pay debtsin enlarged measures
enlarged doliars, doesn'c annoy
your speculator, in money at all.
The inflation he dreads is iu the
volume of the carrancy and in the
number of the dollars. He is ha lin
ed with a fear we are going to
have a new deluge of money
some of which will-feel easy in the
poor man's pocket. When the
speculator has got the doltir to
measure off more tbari the contract
calls for. be writes long moral
lecures in the Reviews and Dews-
papers about 'fixed standard of
valne 'the danger of panics from
having too much money,' 'the evils
of over production,' There is not
an over prodactiou pf anything in
this country but financial viU
lains and their "victims, the two
millions of vagabonds they have
made in the Union.
.
The scoundrels have worked the
public debt in the same way. They
enlarge the debt by enlarging the
value of the dollar in which it is
to be' paid. The tax-paver has
millions credited on it, but it does
not grow any Smaller now. It will
take more of the tax payer's wheat
and corn and cotton to pay . 1,700
millions now owing than it would
the 3,000 millions owed dirctly aft

of tariff aud revenue, these fatten

pocket. They were fattened at
the expense of the people. The
Yankee bought the public debt
(U.S.bond8) with a lean dollar,
worth about thirty odd cents,- and
he paid about sixty-eight of theBo
dollars for one hundred dollai's
wprth,of the U. S. debt. The dol

Afler . the , Yankee had whipped
the South and also silenced all the
patriotism in the.country, he decid

paid with coin. Providence open
ed the Nevada silver mines'ancS it
looked as if we were going to pay
the debt. The Yankee then fore
with decided that only gold was
good enough to redeem his skeleton
bonds bought with skeleton. He
is not even satisfied-here, he has j
fattened the gold dollar at the'
expense of the people and takes
the dollor, surplus . fat and all in

In the proper and orderly con
duct of this case I desire now to
introduce the famous Hazzard cir-,
cnlar and file it as an exhibit. It
speaks for itself. It was intended
for private - circulation among
Northern bankers and capitalists
and was so circulated in the Fall
of 1862 just prior to -the passage
of the National Banking Act in
February, 18CS. One copy got in
to the wrong hands. The circular
was issued by English capitalists
and circulated confidently.

The infamous document explains
the Yankee's pecuniar patroisrn

financial disasters in language too
plain to be mistaken.

after taking three large bottles I .
found all, signs of , the breaking out
entirely removed. - I was led to :
its return at the same time next

been any indications of its return
since, i
