HENDERSON'S DEVELOPMENT INTO ONE OF THE LEAD ING MARKETS. The Tobacco Trade in 1872 What it is Now Her Future Bright. James A. Uobinson, in Durham Southern Tobacconist. Henderson, the capital of Vance county, now one of the most prosper ous tobacco markets in the State, fur nishes an apt illustration of an inci dent connected with the King of Phry gia, Midas. The tradition goes that in early life this mythological King found a treasure to which he owed his greatness and opulence. He showed Wnit.ilitv to Silenus. in return for which Bacchus permitted him to choose whatever recompense he pleased. He demanded of the god that whatever he touched might be turned to gold. His wish was granted, but when the very food he ate became gold in his mouth, he prayed Bacchus to revoke the favor. He was ordered to wash in the river Pactolus, the sands of which were turned to gold by his touch. There is no mythology about Hen derson. Her growth is solid. In her early life she found a priceless treasure in the golden leaf and its magical touch has converted the town into a mart of wonderful growth. In 1872 the tobacco trade of Henderson was commenced, and in that year there was marketed about 300,000 pounds. In the fifteen years which have passed since that beginning, the market has steadily increased with each twelve months' cycles, until to-day Hender son is one of the leading markets of the State, and one every patriot is proud to own. Henderson now has five varnu.ces four of thetn in the most successful operation ; fifty-one leaf tobacco facto ries ; and in many cases new brick structures have supplanted the old wooden ones. Henderson has ample facilities for handling tobacco, and a full corps of brokers, who, with the warehousemen, are energetic and stir ring business men. Some idea of the increase in Hen derson's leaf trade may be gained by comparing the sales of 1886 with those at the close of the business year ofiS87. On the 1st of October, 1886, Henderson had sold for that year 8,101,521 pounds; and at the same time in 1SS7, 8,802,830; making an increase of 701,309 pounds. This leaf trade is drawn from eleven counties in North Carolina and four in Virginia, and the tobacco sold on this market combines fine color, good body, and peculiar flavor and is sought out not only by the trade in the United States and Canada, but across the water. Henderson's future is full of hope and promise and her citizens have a just cause to feel proud of their mar ket which is in such a healthy and vigorous condition. The Bath. Every human habitation should always contain a convenience for a complete bath in water. In the long catalogue ofdiseases, says a well known physician, scarcely one can be named in the treatment of which a bath is useless. To those blessed with good j health, a bath gives thrift and growth j to healthy functions, a brightness and ; delightful serenity, a clearness of mind and buoyancy of spirit. It is certainly ; a blessing to both mind and body, j For the mental worker it is a nerve tonic. A thorough application ofj water of proper temperature will calm J and give tone to the whole system. 1 The indoor laborer, who cets but a scanty supply of fresh air, needs a bath good authority on the Southern iron to obtain for the skin invigorating industry. In his essay, just published elements of open air. j in the Rejxirt on the mineral Re- j sources of the United States," Mr. The New York Tribune explains to James M. Swank says, " that in re a young man who wants to know the gard to the claim that the South pos difference between a Democrat and sesses advantages in the proximity of a Republican that it is '-sentially the its ores, fuel and limestone, and in same as that which has existed in the cheap labor, which enable it to manu- past between a Democrat and a Fed-; facture pig iron more cheaply than eralist, or between a Democrat and a ; any other section of the country, that Whig. Well, the Democrats defeated this claim is undoubtedly true of sev the Federalists and Whigs and will de- eral Southern States, and that it should feat the Republicans also. And the everywhere be frankly conceded." student of historv will take note of the Mr. Swank next quotes the highest au- fact that every form of opposiiion to thority in England, Sir I. Lowthian Democracy has, after it has been beaten Bell, on the manufacture of pig iron, a few times, dissolved and disappeared, This English authority gives as his and if history repeats itself the Repub- j opinion these significant remarks, to lican party will follow its progenitors, j wit: "In the Southern States of Ten The Democratic is the one and only j nessce and Alabama, and to some ex party which has existed since the j tent in Georgia, in all likelihood, the foundation of the government, and it i cost of bringing together the materials bids fair to exist as long as the Repub- ' for making iron is not more than it is lie lasts.

Painesville, Ohio, Democrat, ATHLENE. A Spring Song. OM3IXAL.1 O Spring ! come not with wreathed brow To scatter from thy perfumed wing Thy offering. 'Tis mockery to brighten now With gladsome smiles the winter scene, For in the grave she lieth low My own Athlene ! What boots it that the tender sun Should come to set the rivers free With golden key? Its timid rays in terror shun To pierce the darkness and the gloom And warm to life my darling one Within her tomb. What boots it that her grave should wear A mantle of the purest green That e"er was seen. And that lilies should blossom there? Do I not know, alas so well ! That 111 her very sunny hair The worms do dwell? Ah ! tis mock'ry to hear the song Of birds that" welcome once again Thy vernal reign. Can he hear them, altho they throng The willows o er her lonely bed ? Oh hush the song ! she sleeps among The silent dead. What boots it that the balmy air Should fan to life with magic power The withered tlower? The roses on her cheek were fair As any blooming here on earth And lo ! the worms are feasting there In horrid mirth ! We watched her thro' the winter drear And saw the life blood ebb away Day after day. Ah ! sad and hopeless then we were. As shipwrecked men who stand at night And see the only ship that's near Speed out of sight. One morn she longed and prayed that thou ou ld- t come, and whispered with a sigh : "Is Spring time nigh?" Methinks that I can see her now, Her scattered locks as fair and bright As if the sun had bathed her brow In waves of light. I saw the gleam within her eje And knew an angel's voice had come To call her home. Her cheek was tinged with deeper dye Than e'er before 'twas like the light That paints in crimson hues the skj Before Lhu niht. The moaning wind fell on her ear Like the weird toll that sadly swells From Phantom bells. Trembling, she murmured with a tear " The Spring ! The Spring !" and drooped her head, For like a timid startled deer Her soul had lied. And then, oh cruel, mocking Spring, With balmy breath and joyous song Thou caiu'at along. Killing the winter with a sling Of roses glad'ning every scene With life and Joy for everything Save my Athlene. Thus was I filled with rief and hate 'Till bending by my piiit's side TheJSpring replied ; " O foolish man ! look up and wait, Thy darling sleeps not neath the sod, But lo ! she passes thro' the gate That leads to God. " And with that God there is no ill For she shall find eternal Spring Beneath His wing. Acknowledge then His gracious will ; When she has gained the better part Why dost thou guard the winter still Within thy heart." The voice was all silent, when lo ! The grief that had held nie in sway Vanished away . The Spring winds still merrily blow But my heart is shielded from care I look thro' the stars, and I know Athlene is there. Consumption. Jan. 10th, 18 The above was written B. D. T impromptu on heaiiiii? Miss M. C. D. of Richmond. Va rdav Mendelssohn's "Soring Song." B. D T. is now the Rev. Beverly D. Tucker, Virginia. of Some Excellent Advice. Wilmington Messenger. Wise is the individual and wise the nation which are ever ready to give a i respectful and appreciative hearing to disinterested counsellors. Ut course, advice is cheap, as the pot-house maxim runs. But good advice is never valueless. On the contrary, it has an intrinsic worth of its own, and foolish, indeed, are the individuals and com munities which, wise in their own con ceit, recklessly reject the counsels of disinterested friends. The Philadelphia Press, the bright est and ablest of our Quaker city ex- changes, prints the views ot a very j difficult lo find a locality of any mag nituae m any country where these minerals can be more cheaply wrought than in Alabama," and that ultimately there seems nothing to prevent these Southern States frora becoming the cheapest iron making centers in the Union." Surely these are encouraging fact. Yet there is a moral taught by them which our Southern people should take well to heart, not only as regards the development of our mineral re sources, but also as touching our agri cultural and ! manufacturing interests. What the Messenger has contended at all times should be the dominant spirit and principle in Southern com merce, Southern manufactures, and Southern agriculture is well enforced by Mr. Swank as regards our iron in dustries. Mr. Swank says, in this con nection : " The South ought to make its own plows and other agricultural implements, its own wagons, stoves, chains, axes, shovels, nails, horse shoes, cotton ties, steam engines and boilers, locomotives, iron and steel rails, ana an otner articles which are made wholly or in part of iron or steel. 1 ia The future prosperity of its iron and steel industries depends upon the prompt adoption of this policy. To make. pig iron, however cheaply, and pay the freight on it to Northern mar kets, taking in return Northern fin ished products of iron and steel and paying freight on them is not wisdom, but follv. The South will be richer and more prosperous than it now is when it resolves to supply, as far as possible, all its own wants, whether they relate to food or clothing, furni ture or house-building, the implements of the farm or any kind of machinery, the equipment of its railroads, or the aking of the tools of the cunning workman." Now, we think this good advice which should certainly be heeded, al beit it proceeds from Pennsylvania, which has much to lose by the growth of the 'rron industry in the South, and has nothing whatever to gam. The South can, should, and ultimately will, supply its own wants not only in the lines of manufacture which our Phila delphia contemporary and its corres pondent suggest, but also in every other direction. Our people have long suffered from the'ir own negli gence in creating home manufactures, in supporting those manufactures, and in supplying their own wants by home production. We can, if we will, en ter upon a new era and we will, to be sure, if the acts of our people are in accordance with their spirit and their professions. So let the South begin to work out its own destiny and acccomplish its own salvation. We have the men and the resources, and most of the money. What is lacking in means will soon be ours. We are bound to win, in so far as manufacturing supremacy is con cerned. Pennsylvania will be bound to come to us some of these days in fact, we expect to see the day when the brawn, the brains, the muscle and the money of that historic State will turn to the South and become part and parcel of u-. You had better come soon, gentlemen. When we are able to create and supply our home demand, we will beat you soundly in your own home markets, and when the commercial Gettysburg comes you will find that your heights have been taken The South knows a thin a two. It will " get there" in time. If He Did All This He is Good Enough Democrat for Us. President Cleveland receives a sala ry of $50,000 per annum. Of this amount he remitted, says the National Republican, $5,000 to the Democratic State committee of New York ; $1,000 to the city committee, and $2,000 to the Democratic State committee of Ohio, making a grand total of 16 per cent, of one year's salary. In the face of these facts some people cs.ll the President a mugwump, a civil service reformer, and unreliable as a Democrat. About this time of year the farmer riseth up and maketh himself ready to assassinate the fatted porker; yea, even the porker that is so fat that you can't see his eyes. And the porker shall le red and the spots thereon shall be black, even as the crow is black. And his ears shall hang down over his eyes like unto the bangs that hide the ivory brow and dark brown eyes of the society girls (bless them.) The Adjutant General of North Carolina reports the entire State guard : force at eleven hundred and twelve j members, consisting 01 mciuj-iiin.c : white companies of infantry, two col ored infantry companies and one white cavalry. Five companies have been formed and equipped during the past year. As this is Leap Year the girls now have a chance to make their proposi tions. In other words, the tables are turned, and the boys will have to do the waiting and oh! how long and pa tiently some 0 us will have to wait. The Past I The Future. fGrecnville Reflector. Sitting all alone in our office, on Saturday night, the thought flashed across our mind that it was the last night of the year, and glancing up at the clock, whose measured ticking was alV the sound that greeted oar ears, wc realized that a few moment more an hour or two at best and the year ol 1887 would be gone! "The year, the year is passing gone Drearily cold the wind is moaning ; - The hoar frost crowns the fields forlorn ; The trees, with icy fruit, are groaning ; From ferrv rale to mountain pine, Death has writtcu its countersign." Gone? Yes, gone forever! And likcsome life that was nearing its close, its last breath stole silently away without a murmur, without a sound. Our eyes filled with tears and our heart saddened at the thought that with the dying year another mile stone in the rugged journy of life had been passed; youth with all its bright hopes and promises had advanced a pace farther toward age, and we had tsken one step nearer to the grave. Musing thus our hands clasped, our head bowed as if in the presence of the dead, we could but exclaim: "Old year! old )ear! thou are almost gone ! and what hast thou brought us? Ah! what had it brought? This question took our mind back through its many days and hours. What a picture was produced ! What 1 a mingling of bitter and sweet there had been ! How joy and pain had been blended together ! Clouds and sunshine were interspersed throughout. What a panorama, with change follow ing change in rapid succession ! Yes, we could see days of sorrow on one hand and days of joy on the other. There had been days dark and dreary, when all life would seem a failure with nothing but gloom ahead. These had been followed by days of joy and hap piness wherein all life seemed aglow with brightness with naught to mar hopes of the future. Errors, failures one side ; on the other some good accomplished, some deed of kindness done, some act performed whereby other hearts had been made happy. Upon the whole, with all its trials, with all its changes, we were glad to have lived through the year and lifted our heart in thank ful prayer that we had been spared until this hour. Just here a voice seemed to whisper "why live with your thoughts in the past? Iet by-gones be bv-soncs. Look u ! Look on- ward ! ' ' True there was no need of brooding o'er the past. Its sorrows and griefs were gone its pleasures and happiness could not be recalled. Look ing up a different thought presented itself. From the ashes of the old year had arisen the New Year. To it we looked. Though the eye could not penetrate the veil of the future, yet upon its curtain hung Hope's bright star to buoy us onward. Then hoping that the errors and wrongs of the past might bring us wisdom to avoid them in future, and that the little good ac complished might inspire us to the performance of nobler and purer deeds, we welcomed the glad New Year 1888, and ueain lifting our heart to God , asked that He would guide andkeep us throughout the days before us, and take us safely to the end. "I know not what the year may bring. Nor know I what the year may take, Uut t.ke or hrinjr whate'er it may, I know that there can come no day In which 1 mav not trust and sing 'The Lord.'niy soul, will not torsade."'

Last week some of the intellectual giants of America were in New York discussing "the perils of city life and bewailing the increasing tendency of country lads to rush to the city, so de moralizing and enervating, where one thousand sink in vice and poverty and only a few achieve a name and fame. At the threshold of another year laden with brilliant anticipations and gor geous dreams of future success, many a youth is to-day meditating his de parture from the old homestead and the exchange of rural friends for city sports. There is in this century a strong tendency for young men, weary of the mental rust and irksome toil of coun try life, to rush to town and enter business. In Europe and every State in the United States the country is be ing depopulated and the villages are rapidly increased by recruits from the country. This, is not theory, for the census renorts confirm this idea. j Lnnc rr tU 1 . ., . .. . I ties, temptations and wealth, which await him, as he supposes, in the busy march and hum of commerce. The plow is distasteful to his ambitious mind and he hies to town to gain a name and fame. He forgets that six teen out of the list of Presidents were farmers and farmers' sons. He for gets the severe tax upon his physicial powers, that his wants are multiplied in town and that the hours of labor in clerkships and professions are longer than in jural life. He forgets that only a few succeed in town while many fail who would have made good fur- mens. The youner man rushes to town, aspires to a clerkship, and after two years labor day and night behind the counter, he has a few fine clothes, some j bad habits and no money. He at last discovers that mercantile and legal professions are over-crowded and nine men out of ten fail.

And they expect, and require, nay demand it, to in intensified degree among their maKtrs and mistresses. Agntlnanoruidy wno neglected to observe or follow any of the trivial niceties or ceremonies of high life would loa cnxto at once in the eyes of their servants, and forfeit, with their respect, all influoneo with them. I can fancy the effect on the groom of tho chambers or the butler, if any gentleman ap peared at a home dinner except in full even, ing dress. Why, not only would these mca consider themsel ves degraded in the houso, but scandalized throughout the neighbor hood, through which the tidings would soon spread. Tho only excuse to be made for a gentleman so wanting in dignity as to dino in a suit of dittoes would le that bo was ec centric, and no one cares to be thought that. Tho ladien' maids, too, could never brook a failure to dress for dinner on the part of thoir mistresses. And so, for fear of tho resentful eye of the house steward or butler, smoking is confined to the smoking room; soup is never indulged in twice; beer not drunk at dinner save iit one draught from a silkea tankard handed to (and replaced by) the drinker on a silver waiter; and clothes are worn but a short time and "cast" while they are really new. I have often contended. . and will contend, that it is tho servants who ana win ccmena, iuax n is tag mttuu bu tep up, and through their influence exact, "cood form" among ino ararocracy. ero it not for them you wouldn't see half so many usages kept up or customs followed.
