Has it ever been evolved ? Will it ever be forthcom ing ? What must be its characteris tics? Simplicity, certainly and liber ality. The former, because the heart of man delights not in multitudinous details, which are quite extraneous and irrelevant to the subject in hand. The latter, becau a company that is worth one's while to le in can afford to be liberal, and ought to do all it can afford. The tendency of the times is ever toward this ideal : and if it be a foregone conclusion that it will never be realized, the query slips out unbid den, "What comes the nearest to it?" Well, it would be hard to find any thing nearer the much-sought model than the new policy of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, of which spe cial announcement has recently been made. From the Standard, Dost on, June 2'J, As life assuranced grows older, as ex perience accumulates, its path grows clearer, and its functions become di vested of the doubts and possibilities of misunderstanding and hardship that beset its earlier years. One after an other its conditions have been settled by legal construction, contingencies met and overcome, and its beauteous form now stands forth clearly denned. Our progressive institutions have not been slow in availing themselves of these advantages, but it remained lor the Equitable Life Assurance Society to frame a new policy that embodies them in a form of wonderful simplicity, concision and clearness. From the Kentucky Register, Richmond Ky., June 2, lS8ti. J The Equitable Life Assurance Socie ty has, in the past, done more to create and maintain confidence in life assurance than any other company. Consequently its business is larger than that of any of its competitors. Furthermore it has now taken a step which practically sweeps every objec tion of the character referred to out of the way. The result, undoubtedly, will be that thousands of men who have heretofore lacked confidence in life assurance, will examine the new policy offered by the Equitable, and assure their lives forthwith. From the Baltimore Underwriter, July 5, 18S9. The Equitable has done more than any other company to simplify the assur ance contract, and to maintain public confiedence in life assurance. Its promptness and liberality have made it famous all the world over, and have done more than any other com pany to sweep litigation and dispute from theassurance business. From the American Hebrew, New Tork, July 5, 1889. The Eqnitable Life Assurance Socie ty has earned the thanks ot the public for initiating a new form of policy, unencumbered by the numberless con ditions which have done much to de ter people from taking out life policies. From the New Tork Times, June 22, 18S9.J The Equitable Life Assurance So ciety has adopted a new form of poli cy which, like a bank draft, is a sim ple promise to pay without conditious on the back.

Davis, of Hickory, N. C PREPARATION AND CARE OF PLANT BEDS. To the planter an early and abun dant supply of tobacco plants is the thing of prime importance. To se cure this the seed may be sown at any time between the 15th of December and the 15th of March, the earlier the better, and alloting 100 square yards of seed-bed to every 10,000 plants that will be needed. The ground selected for this purpose should be virgin soil, of sandy texture, rich and moist, with full exposure to the sun, but shelted to the North and West by rising ground or growing timber, against the cold wind of early spring. Such spots can be readily found in wooded hollows, at the foot of hills, and near to or along side some water course. Other things being equal, the farther into the 1 woods the spot selected is the better in order to escape the bug. The ground having been well chosen, the next thing is to rake it cleanly and then burn it thoroughly so as to kill all germs of vegetation. The burning can be done at a single blast, it done with dry brush, heaped upon the entire bed a height of some four feet. A better but costlier method is to burn with wood laid upon green poles, which serve the purpose of ven tilation, which case the wood should be piled the whole length of the bed, and of convenient width, say six feet, and after the pile has been well kin dled, it should be allowed to burn some two hours, or until the poles un derneath are burnt up. The burning wood and fire coals should now be moved by using old hoes fastened upon long'handles, and again spread a con venient width and fresh wood added, which should burn until the ground underneath has been burt as thorough ly as before, and so on until the entire bed has been burnt over. So soon as the ground has cooled enough to walk upon it, and without removing the ashes, it should be broken deeply and finely with the mattock, care being taken not to Invert the soil, and then chopped with weeding hoes and raked until clear of roots and well pulver ized for which reason land should never be burnt when too wet. The bed is now ready for seeding. The variety of seed recommended is Yellow Orinoco. The quality sown should be one and a half tablespoon fuls to every 100 square yards. Great care should be taken to sow the seed as regularly as possible, so as to pre vent some spots from being too thin, and what is worse, other spots from being too thick. To do so the seed should be carefully measured and then thoroughly mixed in a convenient vuantity ot dry ashes, and the mixture divided into two equal parts. The bed should be marked off into con venient sowing breadths by lines four feet apart, and towed entirely over with one-half the seed in one direction, ! and then over again with the othe half S in the opposite direction, the sower re j tracing his steps. The seed should be I left upon the surface and neither hoed i nor raked into the soil, but trodden in I with the foot, or pressed in with the j back of a weeding hoe, or better still, I by passing a light roller over the bed. ; To prevent drifting or puddling of the j seed by washing rains, where the geound is rolling, trenches slightly in i clined and two inches deep and fonr ; feet apart should be made with the mattock across the bed. Where the ground is fiat and subject to being sob ! bed, it should be thoroughly drained, as nothing drowns more easily than ; the tobacco plant. For the three fold purpose of warmth, ! moisture and fertility, the bed should flow 1 V fnr roocAl w 1 r with a covering j ; nan an inch thick ot good stable ma nure broken fine, the fresher the better, ' ; but in any case When such stable ; venient, that from free of grass-seed, manure is not con the hen house or CULTURE. one that has been the Making of the Town. hog pen will answer, hog hair also akine an excellent top-dressing. If neither of these is at hand, some strongly ammoniated fertilizer should be applied at the rate of half bushel of it to every 100 square yards, and raked hrto the soil before seeding. The bed should now be thickly cov ered with fine brush to prevent both drying and freezing of the soil, by which the plants are either checked in their growth or lifted out by the roots. The next thing to be thought of is to guard against the ravages of the to cacco bug, an insect which by a popu lar misnomer is called "The Fly," which makes its appearance about the first of April.and for which when once it gets possession of a plant-bed, no . remedy has yet been found. None of i the insect poisons, such as carbolic acid or kerosene oil, have any effect upon it. A partial preventive is to sow the borders of the bed thickly with black mustard. It springs up thickly, and upon it this bug loves to feed. A still better preventive is to shut the bug out by a fence around the bed one foot high, bnilt of 12 inch plank nailed to pegs driven in the ground, with a little earth pressed against the bottom of the planks so as Crlfht Ttbacco DUtrlct, "Jl - C " ITKA a part '1Xjfi9,i (JUM w ' y Map of the Famous Yellow Tobacco District Tributary to the Henderson Market.

Such a fence or cold frame does the addition al good of keeping the bed warmer and moister and should never be omijted. Ordinarily and after early seeding the plants will begin to show them selves about the first of March, at which time an additional half table- spoonful of seed for every 100 square yards, should be sown as at first. So soon as the plants are well up and have begun to grow, they should be pushed as rapidly as possible by top- dressing the bed before each succes- : siverain with some good iertilizer, at the rate of one gallon of it to every 100 sqnare yards, mixed with an equal quantity of damp earth. The fertilizer should never be applied while the dlants are wet with either dew or rain, for fear of scalding them. Dry leaves and young grass should be hand picked off the bed. But the covering of brush should not be permanently removed until the plants are nearly large enough to set, but should then be, in order to toughen them; And after it has been I removed, and while waiting for a sea- son to transplant, should the plants begin to parch from drought, the bed should be well watered and again covered with green boughs laid upon a scaffolding two or three feet above the growing plants. I have never known this protection to fail even in the severest drought. But after a rain this shelter should be removed in order to accustom the plants to the heat of the sun. SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF THE SOIL. A soft, deep, sandy soil is prefer able, which before planting should be always put in the finest tilth, it being an adage with good fanners that a "crop properly planted is half worked." If the land is new ground, it should after having leen grubbed .and chop ped, be raked cleanly and all leaves and litter burnt. It is then ready for the plow,and should Ik; closely broken twice and crosswise with the bull tongue, and as often harrowed. It should next be marked off by the bull tongue in horrizontal rows three feet apart, into which should be drilled 300 pounds per acre, unless where the land is naturally rich, of a good and active fertilizer. It. is then ready to be listed or bedded with a turning plow. I prefer the list since it light ens the hoe work of hilling, and is at the same time a more econimical use of the fertilizer the balks between can be thrown out at the first weeding. With a broad weeding hoe these lists or beds should new be worked into conicle hills, placing them 3 feet 3 inches apart. I know that many rec commend more crowding planting, giving the rows and hills a distance of only three feet. But in doing so nothing in my opinion is gained in weight, while something is lost in length, breadth and body of the leaf which with the manufacturer are the prime requisites. The hills can be laid off with great accuracy by step ping or otherwise measuring one row, and then placing the hills of the next between those of the first, and so on, or what is called dodging them. To prevent crowding or irregularity in hilling, this rule will be found of use where raw hands are employed. The hill culture, both in the prepa ration and the subsequent workings of the tobacco crop, should never be departed from, for the reason that, that method of cultivation gives the land the best drainage of which it is capable. And in this crop drainage is one of the first things to be consid ered, for the reason that all the dis eases to which the plant is liable such as frenching, firing, spotting, rusting and shedding come from ex cessive rain, accompanied by excessive heat. The growth of the plant itself would suggest as much, for in time of drouth the leaves stand up to gather the rain, but so soon as it has enough of it thev turn down and throw it off. I repeat, then, let no water stagnate upon the ground. For new ground, the hilling can be done as early as April or May, and should be always when the soil is in good working order and neither too wet or too dry. In the one case it will bake and prevent : the ready growth of the plant, and in j the other it will require much rain to put it in condition for planting. If the land is not new ground.either forest or pine field, it should be fresh or at least long rested and in good heart, and upon which neither corn nor sorghum has been lately cropped. For such land the preparation is in all respects similar to that for new ground except that a turning plow may take the place f a bull-tongue, and the hilling should not be done earlier than the first of May for fear that the hills may become grassy while waiting for plants or a season to plant them. To preserve such lands and to prevent damages to the growing crops from washing rains, water-furrowing or gut- termg is reccommended. Tobacco land, more than almost any other, should be manured with a liberal hand.- Stable or barn yard manure is every way the best, but when not to I had in sufficient qual ity, must be substituted by some good commercial fertilizer, of which there are countless varieties upon the mar ket possessing more or less mtrit. PLANTING. The tobacco plant requires usually 100 days from the time it is trans planted to grow and ripen properly. To secure the best results, therefore, the planting should not be earlier than the 10th of May, and if possible later than the 20th of June. In the one case ' the plant is likely to be stunted in its growth, as well as deprived of the dews of August and September ; and in the other, there is danger that it may not have time to mature fully before frost. The plants are set very much as cab bage plants are, by inserting them to the bud and pressing the earth well to their roots and stems with a peg. A plant is said to be properly planted when the point of a leaf breaks off in the attempt to pull it up. The plants should never be suffered to wilt before they are set. If this cannot be done as fast as they are drawn from the bed, as many as can be planted in a single day should be drawn while the dew is on them, and kept until needed in a shaded place with their roots on damp ground, their tops being occasionally sprinkled with water. If the hills have been put up with a good season in them, they can ordi narily at any time in May be planted without a rain, if done late in the af ternoon. They should also be clapped with the back of the hoe, which clap ping preserves the moisture and pre vents crumbling of the earth, after the planting peg, and should be lighter or harder according to the dampness of the soil. But with an abundance of plants, should the planter be blessed with a good season in May or June, nought else but planting is then to be thought of. It is a maxim with hay makers that they should work while the sun shfnes. The reverse of this holds good with the tobacco planter, and he promises to be but a poor one who runs from a shower of rain." And yet for the convenience of housing, it is not desirable that the entire crop should ripen at the same time, therefore it is not best that it should all be planted in a single day, or, even in a single season. Instead, then, of hastening to get once over, it is better to look well to the replanting, in order to get a perfect stand in the portion which has been planted to do so and as quickly as possible, shad ing or watering the replanted hills, when necessary, is recommended. .. CUITIVATION. The cultivation of the tobacco crop though thorough, should be superficial that is to say, only the surface soil should be stirred, the subsoil being left intact. As soon as the plant lias taken root which is shown by its changing color, it should be worked with the hoe only by removing the crust of the hill, and drawing loose dirt around the plant. This destroys the first crop of grass and helps to destroy the cut-worm. But if the land between the rows has be come foul, it should be plowed with a bull-tongue or ehofel at the first work-in-'. When the planthave covered the hills say a breadth of twelve inches they should be worked thoroughly with both plow and hoe. This plowing should be with bull-tongue or shovel, using short Bingle-trees4 and running it close to the plants, and throwing out the row with four or fife furrows. If the laud had become very foul, a turn ing plow is preferable. With the hoe all the surface soil should be drawn into hills around the plants as at first. This working is a lay-by with the plow, which should never be used after the plants have come into top. Bat later than this, should the land again be come foul, it should be scraped with the hoe only. Any vegetation which springs up after the plant baa attained its growth does it no harm, but is ben-1 eficial rather in keening the lower leaves from being sanded. But to the eye of the genuine farmer it ia un sightly, and is disadvantageous if a wheat crop is to follow it had better be kept down to the last. . TOPPING. In topping tobacco the end aimed at is to secure the greatest weight con sistent with the desired texture, color and body of the leaf, which last moans its toughness, oiliness and sweet flavor. With the experienced planter the rule is to top according to the constitution of the plant, but such a rule is too gen eral to be of much use to the beginner, instead of which let him accept the fol lowing directions : So soon and as fast as the buttons or seed heads of the plant show them selves beginning usually about the 10th of July they should be topped. It is better to wait until the seed head appears, because the space between the leaves on a stalk will then have widen ed enough to admit the sunlight be tween them ; it should, however, never be suffered to bloom. At the first topping done in a field such plants as are ready should be first primed that is to Bay, have their lower leaves broken off as high as 4 or 6 inches frpm the ground, and then topped at ten, and only ten, leaves unless the form of the plant is very gross, in which case twelve leaves are not objectionable. At the second topping such other plants as are ready should be topped at nine, and so on down to eight and seven leaves at each succeeding topping, which is usually at an interval of one week. The reason for lessening the number of leaves at each successive topping, is to cause all the plants which were planted at the same time to ripen together, this be ing a great convenience in cutting. To facilitate the counting of the leaves, the ninth leaf is the guide, the forma tion of the plant being such that after it is palmed, the ninth leaf points al ways over the bottom one. It is im portant to take notice of this. And it is important to bear in mind that to secure the desired qualities of the leaf, nothing is more necessary, and to the beginner more generally misunderstood, than the proper top-! ping of the plant. To ignorance m this matter is attributable the greater part of the sleazy, weeded stuff which yearly gluts the market, and which is almost worthless for any purpose. For if the season is a generous one the lux uriant growth of the plant tempts many to multiply the number of leaves. To all such let me say, that while ev erything is lost in body, nothing is gained in weight by high topping, it being a maxim among the growers of shipping tobacco, with whom weight is the prime object, that eight is the maximum number of leaves for that purpose that is to say, that the plant, if topped at eight leaves, will weigh as much as if topped at any greater num ber. Nor is anything to be gained by high topping in either texture or color, which if the topping be such as I have directed will be all that is desired. WORMS. There are three Varieties of the worm which prey upon tobacco plants the cut-worm, the bud-worm and the horn-worm. Of these the first selects as the point of its attack the stalk of the young plant, and is but the ordi nary earth-worm of our gardens, and is best gotten rid of by early working. Third is as common a variety, making its appearance about the time the plant is coming into top, and feeds upon the bud, cutting it into minute holes which enlarge with the growing leaf. It is found in greatest numbers upon new ground tobacco showing that the woods are the habitat of the parent fly. It is easily found and taken, except that in doing so care must be had not to injure the tender leaves. The third is the same as that found upon tomato and Irish potato plants. I am unable to scientifically classify these three worthies, nor is it neces sary to do so farther than to say, that by common consent precedence be longs to the horn-worm, which is em phatically the worm, and is our arch enemy. For it no effectual vermifuge has yet been discovered. This greatest pest of the planter first shows itself as early as May or June, but not in great numbers, and does them little or no harm, but should not be suffered to escape, for if so, and as soon as it attains its growth, it de scends into the earth, enters the chrys alis, and comes out again full-fledged in August. The fly thus generated is a large night-flying moth, which is ex ceedingly prolific, and deposits its eggs in greatest quantity during the moonlight nights of August and Sep tember. Against the ravages of the horn worm there is no remedy short of exter mination. A partial preventive is to destroy the fly by distilling a solution of Paris green or of cobalt into the flow ers of the Jamestown weed. Another device is to place in the tobacco field, at night, lanterns set in pans filled with some viscid matter, such as coal-tar or molasses. I have found that to throw the crop as much as possible into a single field is some safeguard, and a better one still is to plant it forward as rapidly as possible, for the reason that in August when the fly is doing most mischief, it selects only young and tender plants, and will even choose other vegetation rather than ripe or ripening tobacco upon which the newly hatched worm will not thrive and can hardly exist. At every stage of the crop a mur derous outlook should be kept upon the horn worm, but after the first of August the entire crop must be wormed over once a week, using whatever extra labor is needed for the purpose, or otherwise the planter is overcropped. It is much easier to destroy the worm while it is very young, for then it is always to be found near the hole it has made in the leaf. But if it is neglected in its youth and allowed to grow until it begins to change its po sitions upon the plant, it is harder to catch, and it then becomes important to know something of its habks in order to hunt it successfully. Thus it will be found that in hot weather, ex cept when cloudy, it feeds during the cooler part of the day, and can be best caught in the morning, while in cool weather it feeds during the warmer part of the day, and can be best caught in the afternoon. SUCCORING. As soon as the plant is topped, it begins to put forth succors at every leaf, but more rapidly at the top, each plant bearing two and only two crops of them. They should be taken out cleanly as fast as they are long enough to be broken by the hand, for if suf fered to grow and toughen a pocket knife will be necessary to remove them, at double the cost in time and labor. After a field has been gener ally topped, the succoring should ac company the worming, and ought to be repeated once a week. The ground succors should be taken away as care fully as those above, for they equally impoverish the plant. At another time we will give in structions about building barns, how to arrange the flues, the process of curing, &c. Editor. A DREAM. r Written for the Gold Liaf.

High Point Enterprise. One man is often the backbone of a city. Such was Henry Grady to At lanta. Such has been Julian S. Carr to Durham. What therefore Atlanta was to Georgia and what Durham is to North Carolina, those two names are to their respective States. But it is not our pcrpose to speak of these two men only one of them claims our attention, namely Mr. Carr, of Durham. A few years ago the livest and most enterprising city in our State was naught more than a few cabins. After smoking tobacco manufacture had be gun there, however, its growth was very rapid. From small beginnings the Blackwell Company began its work, with Mr. Carr as its junior mem ber. At that time his business ability was not regarded with any especial degree of admiration. But as he grew In years he was found possessed of the most remarkable executive ability to be found within the limits of our State, or indeed, of the South. And his growth and development has been the growth and development of his city. A small view, indeed, would it be of this distinguished North Carolinian's work and worth to confine it to his city. No important public improve ment has been undertaken for the past ten years that has not had the benefit of his counsel and help. Is the Uni versity to be aided ? Mr. Carr comes forward handsomely. Is Wake Forest in need? Again Mr. Carr is seen with an open hand. Is Trinity Col lege in need of funds? Ten thousand silver eagles leap from Mr. Carr's pocket to supply the want. .Besides this, many a poor boy, desiring an ed ucation has found in Mr. Carr his only support. But this does not begin to tell of all. Every sort of North Car olinian has arisen to call him blessed, from the veteran who lost health and limb on Southern battlefields to strug gling enterprises for the public good that needed help. No man in North Carolina has made o good use of his talents and money. He has been an exceotion to the old rule that the man who makes his money likes to hold on to it. He has given largely and wisely. And, all along, his wealth has increased, he has thrown himself into every movement for the good of his people, and to-day is par excellence the ideal of generous, sober North Carolina manhood. Mr. Carr has executive talent enough for ten men. There are some things to which North Carolinians are blind; but how long will they be blinded to the fact that the man they need in the gubernatorial chair in these hard times is JS. Carr, who would give us such a progressive administration of public affairs as most people would think im possible. tiimtifrlMCt IU The high position attained and the uni versal acceptance and approval of the pleasant liquid fru t remedy Syrup of Figs, as the most excellent laxative known, il lustrate the value of the qualities on which its success is based and are abundantly gratifying to the California Fhr Syrup Company.
