THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1891. CHEROKEE AND WESTERN NO CAROLINA. We insert on the page of the Democrat several letters and an editorial from the able editor of The Athenian, of Athens', Tenn., pertaining to the cele bration at Murphy on July 23d The event then celebrated is of so much importance that we offer no apology for the space given to the matter. By the co,mpletion of the road to Mur phy the whole of North Caroli ' na is united by rail from the sea coast to the extreme west ern limit of the State. Not only athis, which is of great import ance: but the opportunities af forded by the completion of this road for the development of the immense resources to be found ,m our western counties, is matter which all can and do feel special interest : in. Bu ; there is another point alludec to by. Hon. J. W. Cooper, Hon W: F. McCarron, of Tennessee and others, which we wish spe cially to emphasize. That is the extension of the W. N. C road from Murphy to Chatta nooga. The bare suggestion of this connection carries with it its own argument. At Chatta nooga connection would be made with all Tennessee anc the Mississippi valley, makinc the shortest ljne therefrom, via 'Murphy and Asheville with tliQ eastern markets, not only for freights but for travel. r The1 connection is entirely possible too. About ninety miles, wt: believe, remain to be construct ed to give this connection, anc what a country it would de velop. What a mugriificeni; line the W. N. C. Railroad wouk become. With direct connec tion with Atlanta, the whok .west via Chattanooga, Knox ville and other points tributary thereto, affording the jshortesi; . line of communication with the east, it would rapidly become: one of, if not, the leading line of the South. And what a sec tion it will develop. Just think: of the possibilities the natura resources of this section be tween Asheville and Chatta nooga, Atlanta and Knoxville Iron, coal, timber, limestone gold, silver, water power, al the elements of economic and useful enterprise. Our people have every incentive to labo and to work, for verily, their rer ward will be great. The Demo! chat is in for all such enterprise and improvement. . 1 IT: J " 1 C r.rA'K ' oilier . virgiuia ma.in.ci3 biaiui tu scu ui North Carolina tobacco, and we Have tLe startling figures of 2,000,000 pounds. North Carolina is without a peer for high grade goods, and is pre-eminently the tobacco tate of th( world. Une or two other States grow a greater quantity, but the money value ot; her crop exceeds that of any other btatej. All the higher type tobaccos are indigenous to JNorth Carolina soil. j 1 "The average cost ofj raising and mar keting tobacco is Gi cents a pound; the average price realized fby the farmers is 13 cents; and a profit jpf 7 cents a pound or $51 per acreof 750 pounds, the aver age amount t nrdduced per acre. The more intelligent ' and Scientific farmers reap more than the average profit pro ducing the finer types bf leaf, obtaining far more than the average price for them and having but little "it any more than the average cost of production."' The address, from beginning to end, abounded in useful in formation; and jwill be very largely distributed. Asheville is among the six markets mak ing the largest sales. T The policy of the Republican party has brought this country very near financial ruin. There is not a business Renter but that has felt its injurious effects, and the feelins: of .uncertainty is thus graphically I described in Tack-head, Every lack. Onida. that talented, but somewhat grotesque writer of fiction, has recently become a contributor to the North Ameri can Review, on subjects entirely at vari ance with other emanations from the same brain. In the August number of the Review on "The State as an im moral teacher," Ouida says: 4The tendency of the last years of the lath century is toward increase in the piwer of the individual. The moral and the civil law alone decree and enforce the inviolability of property. Anything which is the property of an other, be it but of the value of a copper coin, cannot be taken by you without be coming liable to punishment as a thief. This, by the general consent of mankind, has been esteemed correct,! just and nec essary. But the State breaks the law, derides it, rides roughshod over it. when for its own purposes it requires the prop erty of a private person, it calls the pro cess bv various names condemnation, expropriation, annexation, etc., but it is seizure, violent seizure, and essentially seizure against the owners will. If a man enter your garden and take a few onions, or a few potatoes, you can seize, prosecute and imprison him. The ate takes the whole garden and turns you out of it, and turns it into anything else x x it t x x x TO CAPITALISTS!

Kali Ten miU, It. It. U ready for il Mi- the last number of the Financial ! which for the moment seems to the State Chronicle: "The feeling of if ear and un easiness is so prevalent that a whisper respecting the strong est house on the street puts the markets in a quiver, while a suspicion expressed as to the payment pf a dividend not due for months yet, is sufficient to make the prices of; the property affected drop many points. It is easy to recall periods of gen eral distrust when-stock values and rates for monev were in much the feame position as now, but never i an occasion like the present, when these features were prominent and yet railroad earnings, net and) gross, were increasing and the country on the verge bf realizing abundant harvests of food products, with a European demand awaiting the surpluses at faijr prices." And in the face of this condi tion of affairs, brdught on by the Republican party which is again organizing to continue its power and policy, we hear seri ous propositions vfrom certain individuals to divide the oppos ing forces on nonsensical issues, thus contributing directly to the success of the Republicans.

THE CONVENTION OF TOBACCO NISTS. The North Carolina TobaccQ Association, composed of deal ers in and manufacturers of the weed in this State, was in' annu al session at Morehead las: week. Every section of the State 'was represented. From the Winston v Sentinel we leani f that on Thursday Mr. W. W Wood, of that city, delivered the annual address. Amoni other things, in speaking of the last census fraud, giving to Yir ginia credit justly due North Carolina, Mr. Wood; said: "Six of North Carolina's tobacco mar kets sell 51,000,000 pounds annually, an average of 8 millions each, sixteen nviH lions being the greatest and five million! the lowes: amount sold: by anv one of them. Nine others ell a total of 11, millions, averaging 11 millions each: 2 milliots being tlv,- greatest and 1 million the lowest sold by any one of them. The r-mmning markets sell 4i million pounds 1 hus our own warehouses sell 67 million of the 70 million pounds of North Caro lina leaf tobacco. Add to this the 25, 000,000 which Danyille, Petersburg and Hon. A; Leazer. ot Iredell, is the Alliance lecturer for his dis trict He delivered.: aii address recently in his county to the Al liance, which does fiimself and the order for which he speaks great credit. It was conserva tive, cautious, full of good points and good ady ice. There was no third party nonsense in it, but was a clear, forceful ex position of the principles of the order. " The speech, we refer to was published in Sfull in the Statesville Landmark, and we shall take Occasin to draw upon it from time to timel Remember the lStji inst., next Tuesday. Let all Buncombe be here; on that date to organize for the grand celebration of the centennial of the organization of the county. Every daughter of old Buncombe mUst also be well represented. Haywood, Cherokee and several of the counties, we are glad to learn, excellent or advantageous, and against this impersonal robber you can do naught. The State considers it compen sation enough to pa- an arbitrary value, but not only are many possession, nota bly in land, for the loss of which no equivalent could reconcile us, but the State herein sets up a principle which is never accorded in law. If a man who steals the onions offers to pay their value, he is not allowed to do so, nor is the owner, of the onions allowed to accept such compensation; it is calleu "com pounding a felony.' The State alone may commit this felony wiia impunity. The State continually tam pers wi:h and tramples on private prop ercy, taking for itsalf what ana where and how it pleases: the example given to the public is profusely immoral. The plea put forth in excuse for its action by the State is that of public benefit: the in terest of the public cannot, il avers, be sacrificed to private interests or owner ship of rights of any sort. But herein it sets up a dangerous precedent. The man who steals the potatoes might argue in his own justification that it is better in the interest of the public that one per son should lose a few potatoes than that another person should' starve lor want of them, and so either in prison or pooi house become a charge to the Stale. l If private rights and the saered ness of property can be se: at naught by the Slate for its own purposes, they can not be logically held to be sacred in its courts ot law for any individual. The State claims immunity from theft on the score of convenience. So then may the individual." Whatever may be sfiid of Ouida a? u sensational and immoral -writer of fic tion, the above . utterances are plainly the trutii. A tack-head :s strucK with every lick, and the point forcibly driven home. Of course the fiction of munici palities is under authority of the State. Air. Chas: A. Dana, of the 2. Y. Sun, once assistant secretary o: war under Stanton. aUo contributes an article to the Review on the war. Some unpublished history he calls it. The editor ot r.he Review in his bulletin says it is, a very remarkable article, and1 he is right. It is a remarkable article in the sense that a story ef real or fanciful adventure ii remarkable. It will arrest the attention of the devourer of dime novel literature; but even he will be disappointed; for no more thrilling episode is related than an arrest, by agreement, at a place qv ap pointment, an escape from the old capital, also by agreement, between ail concerned. and the opening of some dispatches by Mr. Lincoln. If that is the best unpub lished history this ex-assistant secretary of war under Lincoln, Stanton. Seward et al, can give the world, there is indeed a scarcity of material, and a paucity of ideas in the head of this actor in trouble some times. As a. :.atter of fact the revo lutionary tramplers on the constitution at the time of which Mr. Dana 'writes, were so cleverly imposed upon by this astute Confederate spy who Mr. Dana so confidently claims as his own, that one of them at least, 'has remained in the dark to this day. Mr. Clement C. Clay, Mr. Jacob Thompson, Mr. Davis and Mr. Benjamin, no doubt caused to fall into the hands of the U. . government just so much of this spy's information as they chose and no more The dispatches about the clock-work fires and the Cana dian invasion, which Mr. Dana claims was so i r.port lusi the de? should, and was intended were intended iected. Neither ! Thompson ment were so foolish or so savage as Mr Dana would have the world believe. Yes this is a remarkable paper Mr. Dana con tributes to the Review, and this hero spy of his was a remarkable spy for the Confederates. The wonder is that the Review publishes such jstulf; even from Mr. Danna. r , ... r l rt Boston, Mass., and ureenvnie bouiu uaruuua.
