Thefollow ing letter was wri' tten in answer to a neditorial that appeared in the Charity and Children a few weeks ago . In the above mentioned article Mr. Johnson, editor of the Cha rity and Children, was anxious to know if Mr. Taylor was at tempting to save the Democrat ?Party; and, he also wondered if Mr. Taylor had a son in i France. The letter follows: "I note your cbmmunication in the Charity and Children of September 11th, referring to my article apperaing in the Hertford County Herald of Au gust 29th- I dee mit unfair fo ryou, after refusing to pub lish my article, to use that pa per in makinfe 'any comment or reference to m yarticle, an article that was forced by you to the Herald for publication. The two papers have a differ nt circulation. It wouV been far better for you to have published the article, then fol lowed with such comment as seemed proper to you. Th course pursued does not give your readers any idea as to the contents of my article norw hat yo uare writing ab out. I cannot see any connec tion at all between what you had to say and my article- You ? squarely fhissed the'issue. The burden of my entire article was it defense of the Charity and Children. I refer you especi ally to the first and two last parag^aphg.. It is with reluct ance that I am making reply to what you have said in your paper of the 11th and would not ,but for the desire insinu ated to know something about my personal family and polit ical affiliation, etc., all of whi ch I am glad to give you. 1. I have two children?a son and a daughter. The son is a chemist and Bacteriologist and gt the declaration of war was an employee of the Dupont Powder Works He registered in Virginia and was one of the first soldiers sent to Camp Lee He entered as a private, but it was soon discovered that he knew something aibouF"Bacter iology, and he was removed to the laboratory of the Base Hospital ,and was soon promo ted to sergeant, then to lieu 'tehant in the Sanitary Camp, for special training in modern war laboratory work. After finishing his course, he was sent to Camp Crove Pa? consi gned to the Mobile Laborato ry, A E. F-, France, there to await orders Jor embarkation. The Armistice was signed while he was thus detained and much to his regtfet he did go to Franca. So, I did not have a son there. My daugh ter was a loyal member of the Red Cros and di dher bit. 2. I am an unadulterated Democrat. S. No, Mr. Johnson, I have never had the least fear thaf the great Democrat party of this country with its millions and multi-millions of support ers could be damaged by ; Charity agd Children. Now, Mr. Editor, I hope you will accept what I have writ ten in the spirit which I am writing. I assure you that the Orphanage and the Charity and Children has no truer f end than the writer, and ae suring you that my former arti cle, as well as the above, was written with the best of inten tions and felings.

The peanut acreage is 23 per cent less than last year and the condition is only 78.6, whic is just about 5 per cent less than the 10-year average. The Sep tember crop report places the yield at five million bushels less than was estomated for Jluyl. It is two million bushels lesa than the final estimate for 1918. The decrease in Virginia and North Carolina, which produ ce most of the Virginia peanuts is nearly three million bush On account of the unfavorab le weather conditions through out the entire peanut belt the past few weeks it is generally expected that the October re port wil show a still further decrease in the crop for 1919. The expert o fpeanuta the first seven months of the year is more than two-thirda of the imports for the same period.
