Dear SirsAnswering your inquiry as to how I like my Buckeye Disc Drill bought last fall from you, will say that it does all and more than you claim for it. I drilled corn stalks (stalk land) "where they were just brushed down, and drilled in pea vines and crab grass where a harrow had never been put on them just turned. jl drilled an acre an hour with it, with a pair of small mules. It covers the wheat so the chickens can't find it. The Glass Fertilizer Feeder is perfect in its work. It drills all kinds of fertilizer without gumming or clogging up, and drills the same quantity up hill or down. I drilled on hillsides were a wagon would have turned over, and the drill did perfect work. My repair trill for over 100 acres drilling over all kinds of ground was only 25 cents. Every last season has spoken for the this season. If I was going to buy again I would buy the Buckeye Disc Drill,, Yours trulv, J. R.

It is a very; light draft drill, easy to manage and does its work in the most satisfactory manner. I am highly pleased with the Glass Fer tilizer Feeders on j my drill and in my opinion there is no fertilizer feeder of any other make that will begin to compare with the glass feeders on the Buckeye. It sows wheat, oate, peae, and ilfrw of grain as well as I could wish. I would bun1' Buckeye Disc Drill again if I had to get tijotv drill. Yours trulv. . s. vf.Vr ..." "The Best He Ever Used."!

Yours for business, SUPT, ME BANE'S LETTER. The Source of Funds Should Not Shut the Mouths of Teachers. Superintendent Mebane has issued a circular letter to teachers and school officials in which he takes a strong stand Tor the teaching of the evils of the whiskey and tobacco habits, and intimates that some teachers are remiss in these particulars because the funds for 'city schools are derived in part from liquor license and the en dowmenta of colleges are enriched with money made in tobacco and cigarettes. The letter in full follows : "To the County Superintendents and Teachers of the Public Schools : Dear Friends : I wish to call your attention to Section 74 of the School Law : "The nature of alchoholic drinks and narcotics and special in struction as to their effect upon the human system shall be inclu ded in the branches of study taught in the cbmmou or free school in the State of North Carolina ; and shall be studied and taught as thoroughly and in the same manner as other like required branches in said schools, etc." "This subject has not received , the attention and has not had the time de voted to it that should have been by many of our County Superintendents and teachers, "If we are to become a sober, tem perate people, we must look to the rising generations. A large per cett. of the men and the women, what a pity we must name women, who are slaves to narcotics and alcoholic drinks will never be reclaimed from the mis erable bonds which are crushing their lives, their hopes and haopineas, and hurryiag them on to fill untimely graves. Then how important it is that the awful consequences of these nar cotics and drinks be impiessed upon the minds and hearts of the children. "What strong drink is doing fur the men from 20 to 50 years of age, the same to a wonderful extent the- cigar ette and tobacco are doing for the boys from 12 to 20 years of aee. "The time has come for teachers to cry aloud and spare not. I care not if our school fund is increased some from liquor license, the more the pity. "I care not if tobacco men give their thousands to colleges and educational institutions, this ought not and will not shut the mouth of any true teach er againsttheee evils. "Yea, what shall it profit us if our public school lunds are increased and our colleges are handsomelv endnwAd if our boys and girls are to be ruined? , "L.et onr teachers and County Super intendents too be living examples of total abstinence from the- use of all narcotics and alcoholic drinks. I like to see a preacher practice what he preaches and I also like to see a teach er live the life he sets up as a model Jor hlg pupils as nearly as possible "The very idea of a superintendent of school or a teacher taking a drink on the sly, or puffing a filthy pipe or smoking a cigarette away with such conduct on the part of teachers. "Yours on behalf of the children, "C. H. Mebane, "Superintendent Public Instruction." To promote the study of North Carolina history and to encourage our making a home literature, General Julian S.

Hundreds of the Animals Kill ed on Shipboard In a Teirific Typhoon. Manila Oct. 64.40 p. m. The United States transport Siam, which left San1' Francisco August 19th with upwards of 330 valuable mules, the coming of which had been anxiously awaited, as mules are in great demand for continuing the campaign, arrived this morning and reported that all but nineteen of the animals bad been lost in two severe typhoons, under peculi arly distressing conditions. The Siam, which left Honolulu thirty-one days ago, encountered the typhoons early this week. One lasted forty hours. Most of the forage, which was on deck, was swept overboard, all the boats were smashed and the steamer rolled tremendously in the trough of the sea, although the officers made every effort to bring her about. The mules were hurled from side to side and frightful ly mangled and disembowelled. Their legs and necks were broken, and the wretched animals in such a confused mass that the attendants were unable to relieve them. In the meantime the deck load was washed off, . the ship lightened and the rolling increased. When the storm abated the injured animals were killed jand their carcasses thrown overboard. When the Siam arrived, her propeller was high out of the water and the wrecks of her boats were hanging from the davits. The Secretary of War has issued an order discontinuing the military department of the gulf, and merg ing it into the department of the east, under command of Major General Wesley Merritt, with head quarters at New York. The total coinage at the United States mints during September was $9,566,794 - The Brooklyn and Four Gun- j boats to Go Thither. Washington, October 5. The Navy Department was busily engaged to day in arranging to re-in force the fleet in the Philippines as suggested yester day by Admiral Dewey in the course of his conference with the President. In going over the field of avaitable ships it was found this morning that the plan conceived last evening of sending the Marietta and the Machias with the Brooklyn would have to be modified so as to drop the, two gun boats. In addition to the Brooklyn, the following ships will be added to Watson's fleet : Nashville, New Or leans, Bancroft and Badger. I It was Admiral Dewey's idea that vessels of a larger type than were first thought of should be sent to Manila. He pointed out that the smaller class of gunboats would be exposed to a good deal of unnecessary danger if they were sent out. To carry out the plans of cutting the Insurgents off from their supplies these vessels must be scattered around among the islands often without consorts and thus ex posed to sudden attacs. The larger vessels will not only be able to take care of themselves in such cases, but may serve as parentships from which may be operated a number of the small launches that have been doing such good service. By noon the department had com pleted its program and was in position to send sailing orders to the ships chosen to go to Manila. The New Orleans was telegraphed to proceed at once to the New York navy yard to have some changes made in the galley apparatus. The change can be made in six days; then the ship will start on her voyage. The Brooklyn will be turned back from Hampton Roads as soon as she comes within signaling distance and sent to New York, whence she sailed this morning, be fore the department could reach her with orders. She will be ready to sail by the end of next week. A cable gram was sent to the Nashville at San Domingo to proceed at once to Manila via Suez, and she is expected to get off within twenty-four hours. Orders were also telegraphed to the Badger at Mare Island to proceed to the Philip pine Islands as soon as possible. No orders as yet have been sent to the Bancroft at Boston. It was suggested at the Navy De partment that three of the four vessels how under orders for Manila will pass through the Suez canal and so will be available to divert to South Africa should matters there take shape requir ing the presence of a United States naval force. Admiral Dewey left Washington Monday for his old home in Ver mont. The State Pension Boll. State Auditor Ayer has made es timates as to the state pension roll for this year, showing a decrease of nine first-class pensioners; an increase of 73 second-class ; an in crease of 126 third-claes; an' in crease of 279 fourth-class ; a de crease of twelve widows. Total in crease 478; total decrease 21; net increase 457. Of this 316 are placed on the roll by the acts of the last legislature. The amount realized for the pension fund dur ing the year is $122,000, of which $119,000 will be available. This will be distributed among 121 first class, 3-41 second-class, 519 third class, 2,234 fourtb-claes, 2,674 wi dows, total 5,889. The amounts apportioned will be first-class $64; second, $48; third, $32; fourth, $16; widows, $16. A few appli cations still under consideration may make some minor changes, but will not materially effect them. FRED GRANT TO THE FORE. The Son of His Father Led the American Attack on the r Filipinos. j Manila, October 6. 6.50 p. m. Gen. Fred. Grant, with three companies of the Fourth infantry, two companies of the Fourteenthinfantry and a band of scouts attached to the former regi ment, advanced from Imus this morn ing, driving the insurgents from the entire west bank of the Imus river. Three Americans were wounded. It is estimated that ten of the Filipinos were killed. Companies C and H, with the scouts, crossed the river at Big Bend and advanced westward in the direc tion of the Bincayan road, the insur gents firing volleys but retiring, j Twenty Filipinos were discovered intrenched at the Bincayan church, about midway between Bacoor, and Cavite Vie jo. These were routed, six being killed. Riley's battery, of the Fifth artillery, made an effective sor tie about a mile South of Bacoor and shelled the west bank of the river at close range. That ban it is now by the Americans. held It is reliably estimated that $1, 000,000 was spent in New York for decorations during the Dewey cel ebration. Miss Helen Gould, al ways noted for her patriotism, probably spent more on decorations than: any other individual, j The cost of decorating her house, both interior and exterior, footed ud something like $3,000. Miss Gould bad a nag made of pure silk, 20x30, and it coat $600. j - CONDITIONS FINE. The Tremendous Corn Crop High Prices for Cotton and Cattle. Baltimore, Oct. 5. The one thing which has been lacking to make well rounded and general prosperity 'or the South prosperity for the farmers as well as for the manufacturershas come, says The Manufacturers' Record, in its weekly review, of Southern in dustrial conditions. The advance in cotton, if the price ruling to-day holds, as It probably will, means that South ern farmers will receive at - least $75, 000,000, possibly $100,000,000, more for this year's crop than for that of last year. This means a great deal to the South ; in fact, to the whole country. The addition of $75,000,000 to $100,. 000,000 to the value of the South'a cot ton, the production by the country at large of about 2.500,000,000 bushels of corn, or about 300,000,000 bushels more than the largest crop ever before rais ed, the high prices which cattle raisers are getting, and the enormous demand for all kinds of agricultural products by reason of the general employment of the people at good wages, are factors in the business situation, which must have a very telling effect. The fiuctu- i ations of call money for stock specula tion in New York count for but little as against these solid facts. The farmers this year are going to be prosperous. Last year Western farmers were in good shape, and South ern farmers were trying to get on solid ground by close economy. This year, with their magnificent corn crop and a fair wheat yield, added to higher prices for live-stock, will be in clover, and their Southern brethren will wind up the season with less debt and more spending money on hand than for some years. 7 Add to these facts that every railroad is taxed to its utmost ; that the iron trade is crowded as never before, with sales a year ahead at magnificent profits ; that nearly all other branches of trade are doing equally as well, and we have a uniform condition of activity and prosperity such as has not been for a long time.
