By TCILLIARX H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Friday Morning, Ahg. 14, 1891 OUT OF THE KTJTS. There are portions of the old world where the ground is plouged and seed sown now just as it was done two thousand years ago. Where the railroads and the telegraph have not gone as missionaries of progress and civilization the countries are practically the same that they were two thousand years or more ago. They are in . the ruts so deep that .they never will and never can 'get out of them by themselves. The average man is in some re spects like some animals of the low er order. He follows in the beaten path although it might have been! originally started by accident, or by some one who was'nt exactly certain where he was going when he started it. Some wild animals follow the beaten path that leads to the springs or rivers from which they slake their thirst, and the animals that prey upon them knowing this lay in am bush for them there and. take them by surprise. Cattle, swine, sheep, on range or pasture, do the same. It is . a sort of common instinct" As men travel in paths so they travel in ruts, and perhaps it is the same instinct which leads them into the beaten path that leads and keeps so many in the ruts. In the non-progressive countries, where the people have but few aspi rations and but little to hope or live for, and where they are content if they get enough to ; eat and wear, it don't make so much difference about their being in the ruts, for they are all in them, but in the progres sive countries where the ruts are not so deep and where the more hustling - spirits get out of them, the fellow that stays in is going to get left in the race that he must make with the hustler. Why is it that the cotton planters of the South persist year after year in raising cotton, and. more cotton, whether it pays or not ? Simply be cause they have got into the rut and haven't so far made any determined effort to eet out - The farmer of the West is in a rut, too. He raises year after year wheat, oats and corn, - and raises more" of them than there is a market for unless something ex traordinary happens to take his, sur plus, as is the case in the short grain crop in Europe this year." But he can't very well help travelling in his rut, for wheat, oats and corn are iiabout all he can raise to any great extent. " ' ' ' . :.: The Southern farmer hasn't 'this - excuse for travelling in the rut, for there are numerous things that he could raise, in addition to cotton, for which he would find a ready and a profitable market. This has been - demonstrated in the peach culture and melon culture in Georgir, in the grape, peach and berry and Irish potato and tobacco culture In East- THE MORNING STAR, the oldest daily news- . 1 1. 1 ! .1. 1 Jnlln avMnt ia rortn varouna, is puuusucu umj mar. uu tor six mem ins. si ou ern North Carolina, all raised on land once devoted to cotton.- . . ; The manufacturer who makes a line of goods .which is made by ostensibly to protect the farmers of load of bricks to help along a build many has much competition, and those countries, j The poorer classes ing operation; and didn't think was many must be satisfied with small pro fits. So the farmer ' who . raises what the thousands of other farmers raise must run the risk of an over stocked market and be content with what he can get - out- of it. The manufacturer who makes something for which there is a demand and which few make stands a fair chance of realizing something for his goods, and so the farmer who raises some thing for which there is a ' demand and which few others raise stands a fair chance of realizing something for the product of his acres. There are men in Eastern North Carolina who have realized more money from a few acres of Irish potatoes, straw- berries or tobacco, than their neigh bors who have stuck in the rut and stuck to cotton will realize from fifty acres ot cottcinD Of course if every body got to raising tobacco, Irish potatoes and strawberries, &c, this would not be so for the market would be overstocked and the chance for profit destroyed: There are dozens of ' things for which there is a ready market which Southern farmers could raise without danger of glutting the market; and upon which they could realize many times as much money as" they can from cotton. There is nut culture, which very few have thought of; the blackberry, which cultivated and im proved would become very popular; hops,' for which there is always a market; ramie, for which there is a growing demand; figs, which grow luxuriantly and which dried would J find a ready market; grapes, for rai sins, and prunes, to be dried; and even the scarcely noticed persim mon which grows wild in our for ests - for the exclusive use of the 'possum which appreciates it. Some years ago a Guilford county man as an experiment dried a barrel of per simmons thinking that he might possibly find sale for them in Greensboro, w Failing in " this, at the suggestion of a friend, he shipped the barrel to a merchant in J St. Louis, who sold them as North Carolina dates, and after deducting his commission remitted the Guilford county man 20 "We do not intend to glorify the persimmon, of which the 'possum has a monopoly, but we refer to it in connection with other things to show the use that may be made of some things which apparent ly escape attention, and . how they may be made profitable. He who will make money at farming or any thing else of a productive character must get out of-the ruts and study the laws of demand and supply. mSOR MEITTI01T. The New York World is booming Mr. Cleveland for Governor of New York, and gives as a reason, the principal reason that his nomination and, election would settle the ques tion of his popularity in his own State, the pivotal one, remove that as one of the debatable questions, and at the same time remove the only obstacle in the way of his nom ination for the Presidency. This is not an original suggestion, for it was talked of several months ago. While at first sight there might seem to be something in this suggestion there isn't, for New York is one of those States that can come nearer fooling the astute politician and spoiling the figures of the forecasters than any" other State between the two big ponds. She ought to be .and is on a fair square test, without any crookedness, a Democratic State, but that is the trouble. You don't know when the kicking will : begin and when and where the crookedness will get in its work. If carrying the State for Governor would give any assurance that the same ' man could carry it as a candidate for the Presi dency the contention of the World would be all right, but it don't. When Mr. Cleveland was elected Governor he carried the State by the phenomenal majority of about 100, 000, and . when he ran for Presi-. dent he got through by the skin of his teeth with a little 1.200. When he ran the second time, after bis clean and unexceptionable administration, though he had a ma jority of. nearly 100,000 of the popu lar vote in the country at large, he lost New York by 13,002. , The small majority by which Mr. Cleveland carried it the first time and the large majority by which he lost it the sec ond time does not give encouraging assurance that he could parry it the third time even if he should be elect ed Governor, although there is no doubt of it , if the Democrats will quit their factional squabbling and stand together, The absurdity and cruelty of cer tain features of the protective tariff system is now illustrated in Germany and France, where there is . tariff levied upon imported grain and meat A ,, nA -EVo r.1v. , , . j-v u :1 cheaper than wheat bread, and the bulk of this was imported from R.US-, sia. But none will be exported this year, and notwithstanding that m Germany especially the people ' are and have been for some time peti tioning the Government to abolish the "corn laws," as they are called, so as to put the price of bread with in the reach of the poor,- it turns a deaf ear and persists in the cruel policy while the thousands go hun gry and suffer because they, can't pay tne prices aemanueu. . iuc policy which starves some people to put money in the pockets of others is monstrous. Whatever may be said about protection to maniifacr turinp industries, whether that be conceded to be wise or not, the mar kets of the world ought to be open to the food of the people that they might buy where they can buy cheapest that which is necessary to sustain life. To tax food is the essence of tyranny. -This is done under our so-called protective sys tem, too, but everyone understands it to be a farce, a mere trick to hum bug American farmers, for this country is not an importer of food,, -and therefore it don't hurt like it does over there. - The ukase issued by the Govern ment ot Russia prohibiting the ex portation of rye settles beyond ques tion the reported shortage in the rye crops of that conntry and also settles the question that Europe must look to America for the grain that will be needed to supply the wants of the people. This makes it certain that every bushel of wheat that can be spared with a large amount of corn, will find a market there at good prices. Already the price of flour has been advanced a shilling and a sixpence a sack in England, and will go still higher. The result of this will be an increased demand for corn, as a substitute for flour, the people of England and other food import ing countries having, learned that corn meal makes bread that is good to eat. Rye was in Germany and France, the former especially, the substitute for wheat flour, but the Russian ukase cuts this off, and will probably open the way for corn to take its place, and henceforth to continue to largely take its place. STATE TOPICS. . The city of Winston is to have a forty-three thousand dollar muni cipal building, to be erected at once. There is no more progressive city of its population anywhere than Win ston, nor is there anywhere that we know of a population more thor oughly in accord on all matters in volving the interests of the com munity, or. the prosperity of the place. They are liberal and tax themselves freely for public improve ments because they are level-headed enough to know that every dollar invested in that way yields double or more to the investors. This is the principle they act upon when they vote their thousands to public improvements. It may be said, in this connection that while Winston is a hustler, there is not a more solid town anywhere, and, what is more, her people have got their wealth by honest industry and strict attention to business. ANOTHER KENTUCKY CAVE. A Farmer Strikes an Underground Won der While Digging a Well. Austin Mallory, a farmer living near Franklin, Ky., some time since started to dig a well on his premises. The well diggers had not gone more than six feet when they encountered a stratum of rock. They went down fifty feet and with no indication that the rock was giving out. They were soon to be rewarded, however. All preparations for aiT unusually heavy blast had been made,-the fuse was touched off and the men Were drawn out to await results. - After the smoke of the explosion had cleared , out they looked down and found they had struck a cave. ; v Three or four ventured in.' Their eyes were dazed -with, splendors ri valing in magnificence the fanciful scenes described in the lore of the Orient. Wandering about the ex plorers came upon a small river of crystal clearness, in whose waters strange-looking fish disported. A pool of water was also found, which, so far as ' they could sound, was bottomless. On the .banks of the stream were found the. Wreckage of what had once undoubtedly been an'lndian canoe, drifted there doubt less from some other water course. The adventurers explored'the cave for a considerable distance in each direction, but -found no CIimit , or re duction of imensions. Itj is un questionably f the u greatestsubter ranean curiosity; excepting tfi'e Mam- moth cave. In Kentucky. : . CURRENT COMMENT; James G.

PROPOSED WORLD'S FAIR TOWER. Eiffel, the Famous Frenchman Wants to j Build One. M. Eiffel, the tower man of Paris, whosel,000-foot tower was the fea ture at the Pans Exposition, says the Chicago Inter-Ocean, cabled to President Baker, of the World s Fair, that he desired to mate a proposi tion to the exposition company for the erection of a tower on the grounds. President Baker cabled the answer that he would be glad to receive and entertain such a proposi tion. President Baker was attending z meeting of the ways and means committee Tuesday noon when messenger boy entered bearing the cablegram. "We have received no outline of M. Eiffel's plans," commented the chief executive, "but it is evident he wants to erect a tower, and we-are just as anxious to have the great at traction. Said another member of the Co lumbian executive committee: "It took Eiffel eighteen months to build his tower, and before that :t took him six months to get the plans ready, or two years in all. In Chi cago we have but twenty-one months before the World's Fair opens. The French rolling mills are just as good as Carnegie's. Therefore I think it doubtful if we can build the tower in time. M. Eiffel himself, however, with his experience, ought to be able to do it if any man can. "It is a fact," he added, "that the Proctor tower plan and the others heretofore proposed for Chicago have apparently been dropped." The probabilities are that the World's Fair Commissioners to Eu rope have, since arriving on the con tinent, met M. Eiffel, and that he has consequently awakened to the fact that Chicago Js going to have a great exposition, and therefore he now wishes to build the tower. This circumstance certainly is one of the best evidences that the people abroad are aware that Chicago and America are going to" give a grand exhibition. A CURIOUS MISSILE. A Gold Button Extracted From a Wound - in a Iltn's LeK. Philadelphia Times. A curious missile was recently cut out of the limb of a prominent citi zen of Mount Sterling, who was wounded in that member in the firstv battle of Manassas. This citizen, Major James Morrison, has suffered from periodical breaking out of the wound, which was situated in the calf, but,: though probed for several times, 'all attempts to find the ball proved unsuccessful. On last Fri day, however, the doctors succeed ed in discovering and removing the irritating body, when it was found to be no bullet, but a small gold but ton. This was cleaned . and was found to be inscribed with the legend "E. to R. Mizpah in . small German lettering. T"he button is. perfectly round and about the size of a buckshot, hav ing a small link attached, by which it was caught to a garment or watch chain on which it was in all proba bility worn as a charm. In all like lihood in was hastily crammed into the owner's musket when out of ammunition and in an emergency. Major Morrison naturally prizes this memento which he has carried for thirty-one years, but says he will re turn it to the man who fired it if he still lives and can relate the circum stances which were such as to impress the major and cannot have failed to have remained in the mind of his as sailant. - v The button was in all "probability the loving gift of some fair young sweetheart : or faithful wife to her beloved boy in blue, who will be glad to recover the pretty trifle, which in none the worse for its long hiding in the Major's leg, though the latter is decidedly the better for its removal, and is rapidly . healing since the operation.
