Who Started the Silver Question? A correspondent of the New York JleralJ, writing from Cairo, Illinois, says: I was down in Alabama a few weeks ago and incidently fell into conversa tion with an intelligent mechanic on the silver question. I said: "What is the difference lo you if we have the single gold standard? The prices of all the staple commodities needed by you are reduced in price in propor tion to the reduction in the volume of primary money, the measure ol values. Cutting silver out has reduced the price of flour here to 3.75 per barrel, and here, where it is raised you can buy cotton at 5 cents per pound. These are the chief staples you require for food and clothing." The carpenter replied: "When flour was from 10 to $14 a barrel and cotton worth fiom ten to twelve cents per pound I always had plenty of money with which to buy flour and clothing. Now it is difficult for me to raise sufficient to buy a barrel of fl.jur when needed, and I have to go short of clothing. When cotton was high money was plenty and everybody was constantly employed at good wages. Now employment is very un certain. Mechanics not altogether cut off from work do not have steady employment, and they find it difficult to secure the bare neccessaries of life. The manufacturers and agricultu rists who favor the reduction of the life blood of commerce, real money, to the smallest volume possible, are cutting their own throats, for they are reducing, in proportion, the consump. tion of their products, and the same may be said of the mercantile class, who have the handling of these pro ducts." My observation convinces me that the mechanic was more than half right. In some circles it is popular to talk of the "silver craze," "silver crank," &c, and to treat the money question as though raised by those advocating the restoration of silver to the place in the coinage it occupied before 1873, whereas it was injected into American politics by the schemers who secured the demonetization ot silver in mat year. As soon as the effect of the coinage act adopted in 1S73 was dis covered by Congress and the country a protest went up against it from the West and South, and these sections have been consistently protesting against the cisastrous and unconsti tutional act ever since. The Foundation Stone of Success. Edward W. Hok. in Ladies' Home Journal. The one great rule of business is that of honesty, absolute and unquali fied honesty. All the rules of business are worthless if they are not founded on that one and only foundation stone to true commercial success. Honesty is not alone the best policy in business ; it is the one and only policy. Upon it, and upon it alone can a good repu tation be built, and a man in business without a reputation for honesty might just as well stop. Any deviation from the rule of honesty in business may bring temporary gain, but it invariably means permanent loss. On the other i hand a strict adherence to an honest ! policy may mean a tempoary loss, but I it is sure to result in a permanent gain. Last .June Dick Crawfonl brought his twelve-months-oUl child, suffering from infantile tliarrhtea, to me. It lnul been weaned at four months old and had always been sickly. I gave it the usual treatment in such cases but without benefit. The child kept growing thinner until it weighed but little more than when born, or perhaps ten pounds. 1 then started the father to giving Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhu'a Remedy. P.efore one bottle of the cent size had been used a marked improvement was seen and its continued use cured the child. Its weakness and punv constitution disappeared and its father and mvself believe the child's life was saved by this remedy. J. T. llAKLOW, M. I)., T amaroa. 111.

Through the Famous " Bright Belt" of North Carolina suits from Growing the Golden Leaf Facts and Figures of Interest to the Home seeker An Inviting Land. f Winston Southern H I -: R E A R E probably no other sections in all of the South to day so uniformly pros perous as those in which bright to bacco forms the money crop of the planter. To a certain extent all farm crops have depreciated in value very much within the past few years, and in this decline tobacco has shared its part ; but in one respect it differs from all other farm products: Tobacco of the lower grades has declined in price along with other crops, but the finer types have, in the face of a steady downward tendency, maintained stiff prices all the while, for the simple reason that the constantly increasing demand for these tobaccos is always greater than the supply. In this particular tobacco differs from the average field crop in the South, and hence it holds out the most tempting offers to the careful planter. It is a crop which under neglectful methods of culture and care will yield the most unsatisfactory returns, but where it receives the proper atten tion the results are simply amazing. One case comes to mind of two planters who occupied adjoining farms in Wake j county. Both were in about the same circumstances, but one of them was a careless fellow, while the other was a planter of the most painstaking methods. On one five acre crop of tobacco the careless planter made $150, while from the same acreage and in the same year his neighbor reaped $960. Thus the reader can infer in the outset that money can be lost in tobacco growing as well as with any other crop, but, where the proper attention is given, tobacco holds ouc the most flattering inducements, as will be s.u.vn by actual results in the treatment of this subject. The idea formerly prevailed that tobicco would grow only in certain supposed-to-be favored localities, the center of one of which was in Granville county, North Carolina. But that delusion has long ago Ieen dispelled, and the Seaboard Air Line system, which now touches some of the most famous tobacco sections'of the South, was then almost entirely outside of what was known as the proper ter ritory. This great system of railroads now stretches in an uubroken line from Portsmouth, Va., with diverging spurs at frequent intervals, giving it a mile age in excess of 900, and at various points along the main line and bran ches tobacco has been grown with the most wonderful results, and it is safe to make the statement that the soil along almost the entire line is highly adapted to the growth of the finest types of the golden weed. The part of the Seaboard Air Line which runs from Weldon to Raleigh, with the forty-two mile branch from Henderson to Durham and the shorter I branches connecting Warrenton and i Re- Tobacco Journal. 1 Louisburg, passes through a veritable tobacco paradise. It traverses the heart of the finest tobacco lands in the South, perhaps not finer than other lands along this line farther on, but lands upon which the most wonderful results in tobacco growing have been reached. Only a few years ago that sec tion was a barren "pine country," upon which turpentine was considered the most valuable product. Gradually tobacco growers came in from the older sections, and the success of one planter sent scores of others at the business; and so it grew, and to-day there is not a section in North Caro-flis1 lina more prosperous than that from Weldon to Raleigh, with the outlyiug territory along the Seaboard Air Line's branches. The planters have pros perous looking homes, their children are educated in well known schools, cash is paid for all supplies and many of them have healthy bank accounts. The towns of Henderson, Louisburg, Warrenton, Durham, Raleigh and others have prospered in consequence of the active markets which the growth of tobacco has made a necessity at each, all resulting in a solid prosperity J brought about by the intelligent culti vation of the famous gold-producing bright tobacco. TOBACCO FIELD ALONG THE SEABOARD AIU The average reader will not be sat isged with a simple pen picture of such prosperity, and for that reason we shall produce abundant facts of actual exam ple which can leave no doubt in the mind as to what tobacco growing will do in this favored section. Those who may not be satisfied with the state ments here given can write direct to the planters themselves and have every statement verified. The following examples are taken at random, and hundreds of others can be given of equal force and importance: Frank Wortham, of Vance county, grew 10,000 pounds of tobacco on eleven acres. The entire crop aver aged him $57.25 per 100 pounds. On 4 acres of this crop the average yield was over $600 per acre. J. J. Laughinghouse sold the product of 10 acres on the Henderson market for an average of $250 per acre. In one year Mr. Laughinhouse sold over $5,000 worth of tobacco from a farm which cost him $1,000. I. M. Green, of Vance county, sold his crop of tobacco last year from about twelve acres, and made a clear profit on the same of over $3,500. W. Henry Hart, of Henderson. bought a 36 acre farm for $1,100. From the first tobacco crop he realized $1,843 and resold the farm for a profit, all within nine months time. S. H. Satterwhite, of Vance county, who lives near the town of Henderson, began as a day laborer some years ago, and is now worth over $30,000; owns one of the best farms in the county and has made the bulk of his money from fine tobacco growing. D. Y. Cooper, of Henderson, bought an improved farm in Vance county for $5,257, and from the first crop he sold over $7,000 worth of tobacco, besides making other crops on the land. There are numerous examples where planters have more than paid for their farms from the first year's crop. John Norwood, of Townsville, Vance county, bought a small farm last year for which he paid $450 small farm he sold this From thisV year 51,400 ' worth of tobacco, in addition to raising his home supplies. Some years ago Ira T. Hart of Vance county, took a five years' lease on a farm near Henderson at $150 per year. For the past four years his tobacco crops have paid him on an average over $3,500 per year. As stated before, that section stretching 42 miles from Henderson to Durham, along the D. & N. branch ol the Seaboard Air Line system, is one of the finest tobacco localities in the State. Taken as a whole, the plant ers through this locality are perhaps better off than anywhere else in North Corolina, and their prosperity has resulted from fine crops of the finest tobacco grown in the world. It is a noted fact that the tobacco farmers from a small locality along the D. & N. road deposited in the banks of Henderson last year, within one month's time, over $37,000 of surplus money. At L.reeumore, fanntosn, Dam, Lyons, Northside and other points there are scores of planters who are rapidly accumulating property, and who live in the most comfortable style. iJ. C. Flemming, of Lyons, sold from a five acre crop $1,975 worth of tobacco last year, making an average of nearly $400 per acre for his entire crop. From four acres his brother, R. H. Flemming, sold $787.50 worth of tobacco, making the enormous yield of $446 per acre. Ralph Currin, of Northside, made a "crop last year which equalled the above, but the exact figures are not at hand. V LINE. E. E. Freeman, of Creedmore, sold his crop last year of 2,700 pounds, the product of three acres, at an average of $37 per 100 pounds. W. H. Hicks, of Fish Dam, made an average t vo years ago of 1,010 pounds per acre, and sold the entire crop at an average price of $37 per 100 pounds. John Hall, of Durham, averaged 700 pounbs per acre on his crop, and sold his tobacco at an average price of $56.31 per 100 pounds. The entire section traversed by the Durham & Northern road is highly adapted to the growth of the finest tobacco. Turning to the main line again we find the lands from Henderson to Raleigh and beyond, through Chat ham county, produce tobacco of the highest type, and we only have space for the mention of a few examples to show what is being done by the intel ligent planters: In 1S94, E. L. Bartholomew, of Wake county, made 1,100 pounds of tobacco from one and a quarter acres which sold for $246,94. Wm. Yates, of Ewing, Wake county, planted live acres in tooacco last year from which he gathered 5,094 pounds, j selling the same for $1,056.20, an average of over $200 per acre. A. M. Council, near Raleigh, from two ana a nan acres raised 2,400 pounds of tobacco last season, and sold the same for $696. W. B. Upchurch, of Morrisville, Wake county, planted six acres last year, from which he sold tobacco to the extent of $1,510. R. L. Williamson of Shotwell, sold over $500 worth of tobacco last year from the product of three acres. As I write my desk is piled up with notes from which I could go on quo ting large yields from page to page, similar to those just given, but I deem the foregoing sufficient to show the reader what has been done in this particular industry. 1 he reader will naturally ask what -osis 10 gruw a crop wnicn yicius such returns, and the answer can only be approximated. The (iranville Tobacco Club, after experiments of over a dozen years, places the cost per acre at $42-50. One of the best-postrd tobacco men in the Eastern part of the State, who has given the matter much study, says the cost is $45; while Mr. W. W. Wood, president of the North Carolina Tobacco Association, places the cost at $58.75. It is safe to say that $50 will cover the cost of growing, curing, and preparing for market an acre of tobacco, and while with some planters the cost will be more than with others, the average will not go beyond the figures just named. At this cost one can easily see the profit there is in this wonderful crop when properly managed. Many a planter makes a clean profit of over $150 per acre from year to year on all the tobacco he grows, and in these times of depreciated values, there are few crops that can make such a show ing. As a matter of course many farmers fail to make money growing tobacco, even on these favored lands, but these would become poor growing strawberries with a monopoly of the business in their favor, and are excep tions to the rule. As stated in the outset, tobacco is one of the most fas tidious of crops. It requires close at tention. It takes "fancy farming," so to speak, to make the fullest success. The lands must be carefully prepared, the plants tenderly set out, and then the crop most carefully watched to get the best results. The planter who at tempts to grow tobacco in a slip-shod way, as he would cotton, will make a failure; but he who gives it the atten tion demanded will always find the results surprisingly satisfactory. As to the extent of the tobacco lands along the Seaboard Air Line system it is safe to say that while the territory covered so far is confined to the counties of Halifax, Warren, Franklin, Vance, Granville, Dur ham, Wake, and Chatham, still there are lands along the entire system and branches -which will pro duce tobacco of the highest quality. The tobacco plant delights in a light, gray, sandy soil, with either a clay or a gravelly subsoil. The lands upon which the crop flourishes are marked by a predominance of hard-woods, such as dog-wood, oak, hickory, chinquepin, with occasionally pine growth in the main and the hard-wood as an under growth. Any one who travels from Raleigh to Atlanta in the day-light can easily see that almost the entire country is made up of lands suitable for tobacco growing. Tests have been made at various points in South Caro lina and Georgia, and always with the most satisfactory results. At Hamlet, Monroe, Chester, Clinton, Greenwood, Abbeville, Elberton, Athens, Winder, and a number ot other points on the main line successful crops have been grown. For several years Mr. A. C. Strickland, at Abbeville, S. C, has been making fine crops of bright to bacco. At Winder, Ga., Messrs. I). Y. Hodges, D. M. Jackson and others have been doing the same thing. The low price of cotton and the fine lands suitable for this crop make it probable that within a few years the finest to bacco will be grown over the entire length of the Seaboard Air Line sys tem, and the first experienced planters who move in upon these lands will secure the cream and at the lowest prices. At present very good lands can be had along the Seaboard Air Line at quite reasonable pmces, but there is a steady increase in values all the time. At Henderson good tobacco farms sell at from $8 to $20 per acre, and from that to $50 per acre, for the more highly-improved places. On the D. & N. road I saw a number of farms which could not be bought for $40 per acre, but near-by the finest to bacco lands, in an unimproved state, could be had at $10 per acre and less. In Wake county the prices range from $6 to $25 per acre, and as one travels southward and into South Carolina the value becomes even lower, and in some sections land that will yield the finest tobacco can be had at from $3 to $10 per acre. The country trversed by the Seaboard Air Line is a veritable paradise for the home-seeker. Tobac co is only one of the many crops which yield such wonderful returns. I have not space to mention the vast trucking interests and possibilities, the wonderful grape vineyards about Southern Pines, the small fruit and berry business along the entire line, and numbers of other industrses, all of which will soon make the territory of the Seaboard Air Line one contin uation of prosperous homes and hust ling trade centres. To the growing and sale of tobacco alone a number of towns owe their life and activity. Henderson sells about 9,000,000 pounds of bright tobacco annually, anb pays out to the planters for the same nearly one million dollars per year. Durham has grown from a rrrere way station to a hustling city of over 10,000 people, almost her entire life Cuming from the sole manufacture of tobacco. She has the largest ciga rette factory in the world, as well as the largest establishment putting up smoking mixtures, and gives profitable employment to thousands of operatives. The prosperity of Louisburg, War-j renton, Raleigh and other places is also largely due to the tobacco business, and as the lands are settled , farther South by experienced tobacco , growers, the towns of the Seaboard j Air Line will develop into other Hcn-j dersons and Durhams and the country , will be dotted with the homes of pros- i lerous and contented planters. j The Seaboard Air Line system is ; under the management of wide-awake j and progressive men who are using , every influence lo bring useful settlers j and industries to the territory through which their lines pass. Mr. R. C. i Hoffman, who is president of the j system, has his ofllce in Baltimore, j The general offices are located at Portsmouth, Va., where the following officials have their headquarters: Mr. John H. Winder, general manager; Mr. H. W. B. Glover, general freight agent, and Mr. T. J. Anderson, gen eral passenger agent. Since the coming of Mr. St. John, who is a Western man with modern ideas of immigration, to the road, this system has taken new interest in the matter of locating new settlers and new indus tries within its territory. Strong efforts are being made to induce a better class of settlers to locate upon the tributary lands, and those who do locate there will have every possible assistance from the road and its oblig ing officials. A thrifty class of new comers is wanted, such as will develop the lands and become large producers and thus make business for the road. The road has no lauds of its own to boom, but is equally interested in every part of its main line and branches. It recognizes the fact that every good settler will become a producer of freight, and in this way add to the revenue of the road. Furthermore, every good settler improves his own farm, and in doing this enhances the value of the surrounding lands and becomes of solid value to the locality in which he lives. Those who are in terested in the above mentioned gold producing lands will receive fuller information and every assistance by addressing any of the officials of the great Seaboard Air Line system. "ONE GRAND SWEET SONO." So President Cleveland in a Letter to a Friend Designates His Married Life. Ati.a.vta, IJa., July 12. A letter from I'icaitlent Cleveland, iu which he speaks of his married life as one "Grand Sweet Song" has been brought to light by the news of the rcceut ten der event at Gray Gables. Iu December, 18U0, Col. John Tem ple Graves, the Southern orator, was sending out invitations to his approach ing wedding to Miss Anna Cothrau, of Rome, Ga. lis scut one to his per sonal friends, the ex-President and Mrs. Cleveland, who were then re siding on Madison avenue, New Yortc. Acknowledging receipt of the iuvi tatiou, Mr. Cleveland wrote as follows: "My Dkak Mr. (iitA vks: We received the card of invitation to your wedding a day or two ago, and I am glad that your letter received only a few hourt) ago justifies me, on behalf of my dear wife and myself, to do more than formally notice the occasion. "And first of all let ine assure you how much we appreciate the kind ami touch ing sentiment you convey to us in our married state. As I look back upon the years that have passed since God, in his infinite goodness, bestowed upon me the best of all his gifts a loving and affec tionate wife all else honor, the oppor tunity of usefulness and the estwiu of my fellow countrymen are subordi nated iu every aspiration of gratitude and thankfulness. You are not wrong, therefore when you claim, in the atmos phere of fast coming bliss which now sur rounds you, kinship with one who can testify with unreserved tenderness to the sanctificatiou which comes to man when heaven-directed love leads the way to marriage. "Since this tenderer theme has made us kinsmen, let me wish for you and the dear one who in to make your life doubljr dear to you, all the joy and happiness vouchsafed to man. "You will, I know, feel, that our kind wishes can reach no greater sincerity and force than when my wife joins in the fer vent desire that you and your bride may enter upon and enjoy the same felicity which has jnade our married life 'one Grant Sweet Song. Truly, your friend, GllOVKK CLK V h L A M . ' ' Col. Graves has kept the letter in a white aun gold frame hangiug in his parlor at Manchester. Two years ago he wrote to President Cleveland for permission to publish the letter for its influence uion the domestic life of the American people. Mr. Cleveland, re plying, said that although he had for gottou the verbiage of the letter, he left the publicatien to the "delicacy and discretion" of hU friend. Why Physicians Uae an " It." I jston Transcript. A woman of an investigating turn of I tuind started out the other day to dis cover why physicians begin their prescriptions with the letter "R." Well, she found out, but it took time and caused her some trouble. It seems that during the middle ages, when astrology was in fashion, a character very much like our "R" was the sign of Jupiter, the preserver of health. The physicians, being then equally devoted to the science of medicine and astrology, invariably began their prescriptions with the following words: "In the name of Jupiter take the fol lowing doses in the order set down hereinafter." In the coure of time this formula was abbreviated, until at present only the letter "R" remains to t-jkctias-that the medical art was once associated with the science of the stars. Ladies, when you go to the sewing society, be temperate in all things and practice sew-briety. Credit to Hood's It Cured All My Afflictions. Ur.
