C .MAY 12, 1898, Crops and the War. War is always a costly pastime and the nation that indulges in military glory must expect to pay for it. We have not yet begun to feel the cost of the war with Spain, but it is certain that we shall rec ognize it in time in increased taxes and increased prices in food and other necessary things. Hap pily for us,' this country is just now in a position where increased food prices will add to the gener al wealth, since we have a surplus stock to sell, and if the war shall end within a reasonable time and to our advantage, we shall be able to meet its cost without inconven- our grain ience. In a broad sense fields, our cotton fields, our oil veils and our mines are much more important elements in our favor than our battleships. We have entered upon this war at a time when all of Europe, includ ing Spain, is in absolute need of our brcadstuffs, and while the war flurry has doubtless helped in the upward bound of wheat, it is only because there is no other country from which the present demand can be supplied. Italy ailords an example of a country that has undertaken mili tary burdens beyond its capacity and is now suffering the conse quences. The country has been producing nothing but soldiers and ships, that have been a con stant drain upon the -nation and have brought it nothing in return, not even glory or credit. The reckoning has now come. The army can fight the people but it cannot feed them, and the rise in breadstuffs means riot and disas ter. Spain is in a similar position. She has no surplus of food, no surplus products of any kind:the colonial revenups having ceased, the people can pay eo more taxes than they have been paying, and the government is thinking about robbing the churches to pay for carrying on the war. Even suc Cess at sea would be only a tem porary relief; defeat can only mean ruiu. The greatest mistake we are in danger of making is in assuming that the present conditions are permanent. It happens that the American grain crop of last year was yery large, while the supply from Russia, Iudia and South America was much below the av erage, and for this reason the exports from the United - States have exceeded all precedent. We may expect another large crop this year, but we cannot certain ly count upon the present raDge of prices, and it is most impor tant that Congress shall provide promptly for the expenses of the war m a way that will not im pair the credit of the govern ment. 'In that way only can we hold the advantage we now have and extend it to the commercial relations of the future.

WALTER LETTER A Condensed Chronicling of a Week's Happenings. Walter, N. C, May 11. '98. Dear Argus: Our truckers are down in the mouth over the price of peas. We know one, who has shipped nearly fifty baskets, and they lacked some of paying fixpenses. But peas have gone up several points and they are busy picking again. The severe wind last Friday evening was not very far from being a young cyclone. Those re turcisag from the picnic had to take refuge from the wind and rain in tobacco barns or any where they could get. Miss Lula Kirkman, from Smithfield, is lending her charms to ihe delightful home of Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Jones this week, Mrs, Ella Ormondand children were on a visit to her parents, Col. and. Mrs. Crawford, and her sister, Mrs. Ed. Gurley, last week. Mr. John Sasser is confined to his room by sickness. His many friends wish him an early restor ation to health, The first picnic of the season was given last Friday on the river, back of Mrs. Laura Smith's home. Everybody reports a good time and an elegant dinner. The new house ot Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Hastings was the scene of much pleasure last Friday night, it being the occasion of a "Peanut party, "given to the young people of the community. Everything was done to make it enjoyable, and we think eyeryone present spent a delightful evening. After quite a lot of fun in matching those who had corresponding ribbons, and being entertained by the sweet strains of music from neighborhood talent, and visitors from your city, the crowd dispersed at the midnight hour, with many wishes for long life and happiness for their host and hostess in their lovely new home. Our fine pig is no more, iu fact, when he was as much as he could be, ha was not very much more, but now he is not any at all, he is very dead. He was a very good pig. he never allowed his olfac tory appendage to engage in up heavals of soil, as is customary with his ancestors, simply be cause it was so much elongated as to enable him to run it through the crack of the fence, and feast on "garden sass," or into the cat-hole in the kitchen door, and use it as syphon to draw eff the contents of the slop bucket with which to satiate his voracious appetite. Our pig is dead. We will never again Hear his familiar grunt; He measured four feet from tip to tip And a hogshead high m "'thunt.

Contagious blood poison is absolutely beyond the skill of the doctors. They may dose a patient for years on their mercurial and potash remedies, but he will never be rid of the disease ; on the other-hand, his condition will grow steadily worse. S. S.

I continued the medicine, and it cured me completely, build ing up my health and increasing my appetite. Although this was ten years ago. I have never yet had a sign of the disease to return. W. K. Newman, Staunton, Va. It is like self-destruction to continue to take potash and mercury ; besides totally destroying the digestion, they dry up the marrow in the bones, pro ducing a stiffness and swelling of the joints, causing the hair io fall out, and completely wrecking the system.
