THE WILMINGTON MESSENGER: TI1UESDAY, MAY 6, 1897. 8KKe Mmm JACKSON & BELL COMPANY. THURSDAY, MAY 6. 1897. HE AVERAGES OF TOBACCO PER ACRE. The tobacco production is too great. JBetween over production and the ras cally trust there are low prices and bard times for the planters. : The prices of the fine North Carolina grades - the golden kinds, are not much more t a pen Hirv tncrr The trust is to a great extent responsible for the low prices of the kinds qf tobacco it ases in manufacturing the- deadly and poisonous cigarettes. President J. Allen Holt, of Oak Ridge seminary, writes to Hon. J. R. Webster, the alle editor of The Reidsville Weekly: "One Methodist in Granville writes me that Sf that county haL all the Dukes have robbed them of. It could erect and en dow two such colleges." We have had our attention directed -to the tobacco production in the several states growing the weed. - It seems that the Connecticut tobacco averages higher than the. other states per acre. OTorida is second. The rrnext three list we give below it. is seen that North Carolina ranks as low as tenth in the .average price per: acre. This is as tbhishing to us, and if true, teaches a l.;fn. Tt -Is that tens' of thousands of acres in North Carolina grow tobacco of a most common kind, and that they are not really adapted to such produc tion. How else could northern and some southern states lead North Caro Una, so far too, in the results? Here is -the table showing the value per acre . Connecticut J Florida ................. ...

C, August 21, 1874."1 It gives some tobacco statistics of that great tobacco county, Gran ville. Some of the statistics have' been iven by us since our residence in this city beginning in 1876. Some of the facts and figures we have not since re produced. To show what one county used to accomplish, " we rwill restate some of- the facts: I j? -(Mitchell Currin received, over $3,300 3 rmr rViaf waa mafln liar hie fwrk sons, ages respectively aibimt 15 and 18, assisted by a smaller brother who was an invalid, and who only worked about helf of the time. Seventy-five dollars twere expended for fertilizers and $5 for "extra help. That will do. This was some three years ago. , Tennis Tilley sold about the same time in Richmond. Va., nineteen MIerces, receiving $87 per 100 for the : lowest, and $131 for the highest. Mind you, this was for leaf. Only the other ay 22nd July he obtained the prize of $75 at the great tobacco fair at Dan ville, Va. He obtained $195.00 per hun dred pounds. Out of twelve prizes of fered, eleven were taken by North Car olinians, and that, in a Virginian mar ket. We believe Mr. Tilley was the only one from Granville who -competed and the result is as above given. Joseph Adcock sold eighteen tierces the other day, averaging $60. Jas. B. Hobgood, father of President Hobgood, of Raleigh, averaged $54 for his crop. On July 28th, seven tierces sold 'at Henderson for $14.75, $32.50, $45.00, $42.50, $58.00, $69.00, $83.50: These prices are not at all unusual. But let us give the precise figures of a farmer living four miles from Ox ford and not in the richest tobacco sec tion of the county. 'Mr. B. F. Hester -is an alumnus of Wake Forest college. He gives "the following: "Here are the figures for 1873: Num ber of acres planted, 10; cost of fertili sers -ner acre. $8.00: amount received ' for crop, per acre, $450.00; total crop Tor ten acres, $4,500; hands worked, 2 men-and 2 boys; estimating the force at 3 men, his average per hand was 1,500. Mr. Hester raises his corn, fod der, wheat oats and bacon. The above is about the average of his cropping for the last four years." - ' -. There were scores of farmers "who probably equalled Mr. Hester in prices, and some like Tilley, the Feeds, Washington, Dalby, Rev. B. F. Hester (another man of the same name) and some others .averaged even more than Mr. H. did. We wrote to The News: "I am sure that there are ten men in Granville county who average $1,200 to every hand they work, for tobacco alone, besides making everything they consume in the way of cereals, meat, .etc." ' That was twenty-three years and more ago. Prices range low now1. The deadly blight of the rapacious "trust rests" upon the growers of fine tobaccos. The value of an acre in tobacco in North Carolina has indeed fallen when It is but $59.58. And yet at 6 cents a Tound for cotton there is more money in tobacco per acre at present low prices. But mark, it is impossible to ouiHvaU ns manv fc.cres in tobacco as in cotton. Mr. Hester -worked three men and cultivated in tobacco but ten acres, inan.iug viua lumbo Dicken, in Edgecombe, in 1870, on twenty-one acres m'ade himself twenty- one bales of cotton. He '. received $2,100 for this crop. The Jacksonville Times- Union considering the highest averages of tobacco says: "'The higher value per acre of the to bacco crop of Connecticut Is due to the fact that the growers In that state all understand the husiness, while in Flor ida many of them are without experi ence. It is also probable that as Con necticut is twenty-five times as thickly settled as Florida, land is more valu able and better cultivated. .Intensive farming is the rule there in all crops. There are only about three acres of land in the state to each inhabitant, and the people are compelled to culti vate well instead of cultivating much. The same conditions prevail in Mas sachusetts, and to a somewhat less ex tent in Pennsylvania and New York." "One man in Granville, about 1876 or 1877, name 'forgotten, but the facts were published in The Oxford Torchlight, made himself a crop of tobacco he sold for $1,700. The 'North Carolina farmers should learn that in growing either tobacco Or cotton only rich lands and intensive cultivation will make large averages and secure the highest prices. North Carolina raises 'more tobacco than any state except Kentucky. It had in 1896, 134,576 acres (by guess no doubt) and produced 68,629,170 pounds, valued at $5,590,334. The average price was 8 cents a pound. Kentucky had more tobacco, but the average was 4& cents a pound. . A child was cured of croup by a dose or two of Ayers Cherry Pectoral. A neighbor's child died of the same dread disease, while the father was getting ready to call the doctor. This shows the necessity of having Ayer's Cherry Pectoral always at hand. TRYING TO DODGE CONSEQUEN - CES. The .Messenger was the first demo cratic paper to propose to give Gov ernor Russell a chance to prove him self worthy of confidence and indorse ment of the people. We thought that he might strive to lift himself above his surroundings, overcome his old habit of -bitter and blind partisan ship and hatred of democrats, and as sert his manhood, his ability, his state pride in behalf of his native Carolina, But . he could not meet the demand. The antagonism, the narrowness, the selfishness, the truculence, the unwis dom were inwrought, inborn, innate,, in grained, a part of his being, and the politician could not rise to statesman ship, and the office-seeker could not f or get the possibilities of more pie even when eating to satisfy at the home pre pared by the people for men chosen as chief executives. The governor has alto gether proved about the deadest of fail ures.and that too with abundant ability, which he has perverted to his own in jury and with loss to the state. We refer to him now simply to remark upon the republican effort to put upon him all theblame for democratic vic tories in municipal elections. ' Doubt less Russell deserves censure and must bear his part of the blame for reverses in his party, but the infamous, devilishv ignorant, corrupt legislature recently adjourned is to be held responsible for a large share of wrong doing, and it offended and aroused the decent, hon est men in ail parties. That body was so stupid, so incapable, so inexpe rienced, so wreckless, so intensely par tisan that it Worked "a diel of evil'.' and made a record for itself so that it can never purge itself of contempt or with all the waters of the deep sea ever cleanse its hands from pollution. The republicans and their pop contingent sin ned against the people, and the first mutterings of the coming storm have been heard. The people in all. their majesty will rise and rid the land of such ignoramuses and rancorous and hungry pie hunters. "This even handed justice Commends the ingredients of their pois oned chalice To plague the inventors." Their betrayal of the people in so blundering arid gross a way, and their infatuation, and deafness and blindness to the public indignation will add to the certainty and completeness of "the deep-damnation of their taking off." So -Russell is not the only sinner against North Carolina, and the guilty republicans cannot shift the responsi bility and betrayal from their own shoulders to his. For a party to have played such hav oc in two months with their own inter ests, the welfare of the state, and their chances of future success is indeed most marvellous. If they had not "eat en of the insane root," they must have fallen under, to use a phrase in Scott's "Old Mortality," "some jookery, pau kery of Satan's." LITERARY GOSSIP. Mr. Stoddard, the poet, publishes ten select American poems in The New York Mail and Express. They are all of the north unless Poe is placed as southern. He gives his "Helen." The only living poet who is drawn upon is E. C. Stedman and "The Doorstep" is the selection. He does not "give them as "the best" but as "all good." We are indebted to a cultivated lady at Danville, Va., Mrs. W. P. Robinson. for information we needed in reference to Emily Bronte's one remarkable nov el. We lately' stated that a copy of "Withering Heights" could not be obtained. But this is a mistake. Lip pincott has published an edition in 7 volumes, octavo, of all the novels of the three Bronte sisters, price $1.50, il lustrated, in cloth. And a cheaper editon, 12 months, at 50 cents per vol ume. These ate the books and au tVinrsr Aemes Grev . and Tenant of Wlldeld Hall, -by Anne Bronte; i aJne Eyre, Shirley, The Professor, and VII lette, by Charlotte Bronte; Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte. Harper also pubishes Charlotte's four novels, 8 vo., illustrated, at $1 a volume. A cheaper edition, 4 vols., 12 mo., 50 cents. Emily's "Wuthering Heights" at $1 illustrated, 12 mo. We are pleased to get this in formation, and thank Mrs. Robinson for her courtesy. It is interesting to know that Mr. C. K. Shortens late work on Charlotte Bronte has aroused so much fresh interest in this woman of genius who set the example of treat ing marriage in a different way from all other writers before her. Mr. Shorter has lately performed the ceremony of reopening the Bronte Museum at Haw orth, to which, last year, four thou sand persons paid 'admission a number which the cdmmittee" in charge of that institution think sufficient to justify them in their selection of a new and more accessble site for the museum. Mr. Shorter expressed a wish that some one, preferably a Yorkshire man, would write a really artistic biography of the Brontes' The well known French astronomer and author, Flammarion, has a poor opinion of the realistic school and says the reaction against it in France has begun,, as it has in other countries. we may add. The ideal is to be restored. He says of man's cravings: "He is a seeker. The material facts of life in themselves do not satisfy his desires. He wants more; he wants to explore the unknown; he wants to discover new beauties, new truths, to see new visions of art; in other words, he seeks an Ideal. Man will not stop down in the depths for long." Young John A. Logan will soon pub lish a book on Russia. George Mere dith has a play on hand, written many years ago. Miss Braddpn has but just published her fifty-eighth novel, called "Under Love's Rule." We believe she is pure if not great, but we never read a book by her! ' Mrs. Burton Har rison (Virginia) will publish another novel. It is entitled "A Son of the Old Dominion." James Lane Allen's new novel is ready, "The Choir Invisible." A new and popular life of Robert Bruce has been published. It is by Sir Herbert Maxwell, M.-.P., arid is an oc tavo of nearly 400 pages. It discards the myths that have gathered abound the name of the famous hero. The critfc of the New York Tribune says that in "The, Mistress of the Ranch," Frederick Thickstun ' Clark has come so near to writing a first-rate novel that he leaves a sense of exasper ation at hi3 failure." .- "The Bookman" for May publishes reports from all the northern book .cen tres as to the sale of books for April. The five books that led were in the ot der of success "Phroso," "Quo Vadis,"' On the Face cf the Waters," "Marga ret Ogilyy," Nansej:.rBWtJaeat. isro'rth," and with several equal claim ants for the sixth place namely "On Many Seas," "Sentimental : Tommy," and "The Sowers." It 'is noticable how each month certain new -books have the run, and pass on t& be quickly su perseded by more recent corners. . The books at the front now are riot those of aJnuary last. In two months or so a new set will be eagerly sought and almost as soon forgotten. The trans itoriness of latter-day books is put of the common. The classics remain the joy and inspiration of the world, unap- proached in tbeir excellence and power and freshness. Mr. D. C. Murray, the English novel ist, has a very low opinion of the men who review books. He holds that, the gang are either "hopelessly incompe tent or incurably dishonest." This may be true in many instances. He complains that criticism is stupidly laudatory, and filled with a mania for discovering "men of genius." We are disposed to accept much of this judg ment. If you will read what English and American monthlies, weeklies . and dailies have said of about fifty of the most widely read novels of the last de cade or two, and then read the bopks or some of them, you may be willing to accept the dictum of Mr. Murray. He specifies in this way, as we find it given in The New York Evening Post: "Five living gentlemen have (accord ing to the critics with their genius for discovering genius) rivalled or surpass ed Sir Walter Scott, arid uncounted 'masterpieces perish miserably (in spite of laudatory howlings) in a year." You did not perhaps know that Mark Hanna is "one of those literarv fel lows." But he-is. He has been reading - one of those sectional northern histo ries, and this great scholar and man of letters is delighted with It. He is infatuated with Barnes's "Popular His tory of the United States." We sup posed it was very unpopular with truth-lovers. : But Mark likes it and, writes gushingly: "I desire to assure you of my. high appreciation of the just chronicle of the recent campaign. A cursory examination satisfies me that your history is a very valuable and In teresting one," A few such critical notices from such men of rare critical insight and powers of descrimination will put this great work to the front. For fear some .one will think we are praising Barnes we will add that we are joking, poking fun, indulging badi nage, talking ironically.

Be wiae in time. SHARPS AND FLATS. We gathered some statistics relative to the manufacture of drinks, tout the first part some how got lost in the printing room. New York led the states large ly, but the figures are not at hand. Illinois Is second, but way behind. It has 22,512,127. In proportion to popu lation, Montana leads with 14 per thou sand people, and Mississippi stands at he foot of the procession with only one for every 2,500 people. California does a lively' business. It has twice as many licenses as Missouri and but half In population. Then think of lit tleNew Jersey having 60 per cent, more whiskey dens than big Texas. Whew! Minnesota northern has more dens than Kentucky, and is 40 per cent smaller in population. Then take these other statistics and see how much more temperate and sensible the south is : "Virginia has more than double the population of Connecticut, though only two-thirds as many liquor licenses. Rhode Island has one-fifth more licenses than- Tennessee, though less than one-fifth of the population. ; Geor gia beats 'Montana in population 14 to 1, but has not as many liquor licenses. North Carolina has fewer than New Hampshire, though she has nearly five times as many people. Oregon has 40 per .cent, more than Alabama, though she has little more than one-fifth the population. Vermont has more than Arkansas, though she has not one third the population." The north ought to be ashamed of itself and reform its habits. The Messenger recently mentioned that the X-rays had been pronounced dangerous and harm to several had re sulted from their application. It is no doubt the result of improper handling of the new and very important discov ery. Mr. W. H. Meadowcraf t is a man of science connected with Edison's works. (He has had considerable expe- rience in the use of the X-rays. Here is given the results of his personal ex perience: "I have been constantly engaged . in X ray work since January, 1896. I have been In the habit of working around Crookes tubes for varying peri ods of time almost every day (except Sundays) since that time, and I have never had the slightest Indication of X-ray burn on my own person, al though very frequently I am engaged in the vicinity of excited Crookes tubes for several hours at a; time. This is also the case with three or four of my assistants, and not one of us has suf fered, for the reason that we do not let any part of our bodies! remain in such close proximity to an excited Crookes tube for so long ai time as is described." He says that if the tube' is placed within four inches of the body and the exposure lasts for thirty-five minutes, as was the case in one report; that it is very likely that burning will occur. He says that recently "he made an excef- ! lent radiograph of the body or a large s heavv man in seven minutes, with the tube two feet away from' the body."' equality. It does not object to having if in the south. It is quite willing" to see the two races in the same churches worshipping together as "members- of Christ,"' 'as was to be seen often in the south before the war. But it will not permit this in the stately or other white churches "up there." They will not even permit Sambo and Jim to work along side with white mechanics,, of July Ann and Jemlmy to work in factories with the white women. There is a huhbub in the north over a negro being chosen for the naval academy by one Shattuc, member of congress from Ohio. The negro is named Bundy, and ; he beat his white rivals for the place in the examination Shuttuc says Bundy shall go. He will go be fore congress for "a redress of griev ances"' and to protect Bundy. Shattuc says he is receiving protests and threats, that the negro shall not enter:. We do not know how it will turn out. Jt is a pity Shattuc has not a son at Annapolis so he could room and mess with . Bundy and enjoy to his heart's After... a course of Ayer's Bills the system is set in good working order and a man begins to feel that life is worth livhig. He who has become the gradual prey of constipation, does not realize the friction under which ' he labors, until the burden Is lifted from him. Then his mountains sink .into- mole-, hills, his moroseness gives, place to jollity, he is a happy man again. If life does not seem worth living to you, you may take a very different view of it after taking Aver's Cathartic Pills. Taking content "social equality" to the full. When Bundy gets through with his four years at Annapolis he may pay his benefactor - a social visit to express gratitude and he may meet Miss Shat tuc. "V ; . The most important election to he held this fall will be that in Ohio at which a governor, with other state offi cers, will be chosen, and also a legisla ture that will elect a United States senator to fill the place of Mr. Hanna, who was selected to occupy Mr. Sher man's seat on his resignation to en ter the cabinet. Whatever may have been the causes that led to the re versal of the opinion expressed last No vember &t the polls this spring-, the democrats profess to be very confident of carrying the state in November. Each side is, however, arraying its millionaires for the contest. Chicago Daily News.
