That gang of advisers and pre tended gond wi.-hers are either your enemies, entirely ignorant of the leaf tobu'co situation, or belong to the big I and little you clitpie, whose advice should not, and, I trust, will not, be adhered to. Varfchouenienw ho advise an tn crHsed tobacco acreage can hare no other than selfish, individual-gain motives. The leaf dealer would have you increase your crop m order that he may run steam plant to its utmost capacily with low-priced tobacco, thus increasing hi profit at your ex pense. The small manufacturer and his sympathizers would have you raise a surplus of tobacco in order that he might supply his little wants without creating the slijhiest compe tition and thus carry prices down to a three or four dollar level. The big manufacturer, or trust, would have vnii plant th face of the earth in to bacco in order that he may gobble ii up at whatever price he may see li'. whil the guano trust sits back with an air of full satisfaction, Nughing in their sleeve itt thu long profits, and i consequently big money, they are going to make this year out of the thousands of tons of guano you are going to bury under tobacco. And I might add that the ow ners of printing presses are no less jiumani over me prmprot of extra pro tits tor printing ! extra mortgages to cover your extra indebtedness, should you extra large crop of tobacco, do it? Surely, surely not. plant an Will you ! Lrt me entreat you not to increase vour crop of tobacco this year, for, in mv humble opinion, the condition herein above dcrihed will be yours if the acreage is increa-ed to any con siderable extent. Just as sure as profitable prices are the result of hurt crops of tobacco (and no miiih or wed informed man will depute it) just so sure will hnancial disaster and destruction to vou follow a big -;n i;,.,n,Mf.l .lister iucrease of tobacco. These are in evitable and undisputed facts which re borne out by the history of leaf ; tobacco since you or your forefathers! laid down their worn out muskets at; Appomattox on the 9th day of April, ' 1S65. Whv is it that those who advise an increased acreage do not give soma reasons for such adice? Why did thev not ailvise you to decrease your crop when your tobacco wa selling so low that it would not pay for the fertilizer you put under it? Whence cometh all this special interest which such advisers would haye you believe thpy feel in your success? They tell you that they have information to "sustain the belief that there will be a greater demand for tobacco the co ru in- year than ever before, but thev fail to divulge that information. IT.ev may have information sustain- inj the belief that they will make more money by your planting a big crop than they will make if you re duce the acreage.

I coild give yon hundreds of reasons why prices advance or decline in proportion to th decrea-e in acreage, all of which fade into insignificance when c ompared with the. one great iudis pnt able reason experience Yes, my friends, the crop for the last pat two years has been de ei eased and prices have correspond inglv advanced. That bottom log, to winch I referred in an article on this subject two years ago. is now gloti onsiv on top, and I rejoice most heartily over the fact that I was one who suggested the remedy that placed him there. And I tell you as sure as the sun lights the day and the moou an I the stars the night, just so sure will the cause that put prices up keep the m u p. Tneories are possibilities but ex peiience is the truth. Hope, and eX p elation- are but desires of the heart and ofttime but air-catles of the mm I. but the lesson of experience is the safe guide to success. You have purchased your experience at a great pr ce:ou aie jut emerging from the daik days of -erviliJy into the light of freedom and plenty, and you have only to continue the course you have pursued for the past few years to land in the midst of the glittering ravs of prosperity, highest ambitious and sweetest hopes. A strict adher ence to the short crop idea and dan will make you, so far as the prie of vmi r tobacco is concerned, lord of all. No increase in acreage means extra d dlars in your pockets; no increase in your acreage- means your early liberation from debt; no increase in acreage will make you the money b nders instead of money borrowers; ho increase in acreage means your owning tiie merchants instead of the merchants owning you; no increase in acreage means a happy, well-dre-sed wife, edii'at-'d and useful children, a proud father, a prosperous fa; nur. an independent eiti.fu. Hut aii increased crop of tobacco means tha surrendering of all these happy blessings anil privileges to the mer chant, the manufacturer, the dealer and the trust, while your good wife lives in slavery and the sweet ch;l dren whom God has given you go clothed in ance, and ras and grow up iu ignor vou, ih" unhappy farmer. while awav vmir life in disgust and despair Let me beg you, yea let me entreat you. not tor my sake tjor you sli-uld well know that I. as a ware houseman, would be materially bene fitted bv a big ci'op of tobacco), but for the sake of your wife, your chil dren, vour happiness and freedom, not to "increase your crop of. tobacco this year.

Four Greatest American Soldiers. Wilmington Messenger. It used to be said by some that rteneral Bedford Forrest was born in Nnrt h Carolina. That was a mistake. His forebears were North Carolina people. General Jo. Johnston held Forrest to be the greatest military genius of America.

Mo., Feb 3. )2. E liter Gold Lvaf. Henderson, N. C. Dear Sir: Tha Cenunnia! Anuiver--ary of the porcha.-e of t!i Louisiana IVi ritory from Fi ance, in lSUo, is to be commemorated by an International Exposition to be held in St. Louis in 19 This celebration is of world wide interest and the proper obser vance of the event is immeasurably above local significance or applica tion. It cannot be localized or miui- mized. It is a matter in which the United States is as deeply i nt crested I as any State within the boundaries of i he Louisiana Purchase. Realizing the wovld-wide signifi cance of the event the stateliest p ich iu the Nation's history the projectors of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, in commemoration there of, have planned it upon lines of cor responding magnitude. In extent and variety of interest, it is designed on a larger scale than any of its pred ecessors. We, of North Carolina residing in St. Louis, are particularly anxious to see our grand old State well repre sented, and to occupy its proper place among the great sisterhuud of States. The Exposition Company has al ready secured in round numb.-rs $ld, )Jd,0)J to lie expended in buildings aid beautifying the grounds, which will cover 1.20) acres. Nearly all the dilTeient States and territories have begun preparations for exhibits, and the Legislatures of eleven States already have made ap propriations to cover the expense. U is intended that this shall be the greatest of all the International Expo sitions heretofore held;every civilized nation of the earth has been invited io join in bringing together the most notable product of soil, of manufae fure and of art, together with a dis play of their natural resources. Yo feel that North Carolina, our native Stale, should not miss this op portunity t shovv to the world her natural resources, her m mof.i'-t ures, tier industries and the varied products of h'-r fertile soil ue'i a display would attract the investor with idle capital, and the emigrant seeking a horn in a genial cbrue. There are few sections of the United Stales s richly endowed by nature as North Carolina. Of her mineral wealth, consisting of almost every known metal, little or nothing is kuo.vn bv t he wan-Id at large. IL-r fptarries, producing beautiful marble of the highu-t grade, -uitab e for building or ornamental u.e; h-r imiiien-e ti-heiies, ,cr virgin forests of valuable timber of many varieties, would become known in every ciuarter of the globe, and "inaugurate a new era in the prosperity of our beloved State, which has held .uck a conspic uous position in the utd'.ii .! i ng of i this great nation, from its very begm ning. . Nearly eveiy f -ot .f her soil is historic ground, from the lofty peaks of Watauga to the classic waters of the Albemarle. Being fin th ground an?t in close touch with the management -f the Nir, we believe that we can render valuable assistance to the peoplf at home in this entei prise, and we are anxious to co-op-rate with them in tting together a disn'ar that we r- ft S I could look upon with pride. To any one who is interested in. or desires any further information on the sule ject, a prompt and full reply will be given to any enquiries a idrese I to the undersigned. Yours sincerely. Wm. C.

Among its other excellencies the Uuittid States excels, unpleasantly, in the matter of train robberies. Train robbers have become so bdd that rail road trains are held up in thickly settled districts and the robbers aie seldom caught. This state of things is discreditable to us. There arc no train robbers, it is said, in Canada nor in 'Mexico. It is only iu the United Slates that Government mails are seized by force and travelers mur dered all on account of the remiss ness of the Government. We have an Iuteilate Commission to regulate the running of trains and to ititeifeie with rates aud pooiing, but no inter state railroad detective corps to pie vent the stopping of trains aud loot ing of passengers by making the train roblier's business un prolitabie. If the masked highwayman who stops a train and -'goes through" those aboard did but once get it into his head that a train rubber is followed persistently anil is as Mire of capture as the counterfeiter.-or the mak-r of moonshine" vvh;kev. the robbing j b,M!nes wuhl become unfahionab:e. it, ... i. .,,,1 ,..lt i t h fnnet i.m of the Slates to detect and arrest train rubbers and that the Federal G ivcrnment has no jurisdiction. But if the Federal Government has a right to protect mail trains from striker; it mii el v has the rig ht to protect them fiom robbers. Tiie ingenuity that btsed on interstate commeice the idea of Federal regulation of railroad management and of the sale of oleo- j margarine could ti'id no ibflieulty in i dev ising a basin for iutei fereiice with les lawful occupations.

Life Facility in Getting to flatktt of the Highest Consideration to the Firmtr A Plsn by Which Good Roads .May be Constructed at Lit tle Cost. Southern Cultiva'or. Every oac is interested in having good roads. They are a public b'es ing, fife and ojwn to all. Business ?)f all kinds is benefited by easy, safe and rapid communication. Railroad, pated streets am! trolley cars are but extreme cases of good roads. If these benefit the cities and towns where they are located and used, they only prove the grat neces sity for the multiplication aud exten sion. Good public roads in this country are on the same line and as much a necessity for the full development of country life as are the other for city life. In fact a city lifeisoniy possible as an outcome of country life, so there should be only the full accom plishment of the country convenience Facility iu getting to a market is a prime "factor in the highest prosperity of a community. Marketing is a vital part of hll successful agriculture. The importance of this Tentum has too long been overlooked. The farmer is more dependent upon markets than any class of laborers. Selling is a vital part of his very existence. If lie cannot sell, we need not grow crops. To him then, good roads are of the greatest importance. The belter the roads, the greater the unfits. We will nrd go over the oft repeat ed, but ever true, arguments on this line. His liuancial success, his social hippiness, his moral and spiritual growth are all involved in the road ijuestion. Nay, his very existence as a farmer and the continuance of Ins children iu some line of buinkss are frequently decided by the character of the roads in hi community. M-uv a man h?n moved to town to get rid of the ruts in summer and the mud in wi titer. The cities might as well leave their streets un paved and expect to grow as for the country to expect perma nent and increased prosperity with out good roads. They are at once a luxury and a necessity to farm pros perity. HOW CAN W E GET THEM ? Much easier than most of us have thought. It only requires a little proper planning. A good system will soon give us good roads at a cost that will not be at all burdensome. The two leading items of expense are material and labor; and labor is the greatest of these. This can bo furnished at a low figure by using the convict labor on the public roads. It is the proper place for convict labor and the only proper plac; to work it. Everywhere else thev come more or less in competition with free labor and contribute more or less to the building up of private fortunes of a few individuals at the expense of the general public. When a crime is committed all the cost of trial and conviction is borne by the commun ity where the crime occurred. Then a simple matter of justice to the community anything of value result ing from the labor of the persons so convicted ought to be distributed among the people who suffered the hs and bore the expense. This can be done in no other way than by working the convict for the benefit of that community, and the public read is the only place that this can I done. The public road belongs to everybody, is used by everybody, is kept up bv every bid v. The mad lax is no small matter and can be lighten- d in no other wav. As criminals belong to the public, I hey should be worked for the public good. This cannot be done anywhere else except on public roads. No sys tem of leasing or f irming yet devised, distributes tLeir labor for the public good. A "IMPLE I 'LAN'. Lay oIT a system of roads conisting of t .to public highways crossing at right angle in the county seat of each County and one running North and South, the other East and West and meeting the roads from adjoining co'uutiea, let these be macadamized or made otherwise good, permanent! roads. j Let the State bear one half of the' expense, the towns one fourth and; the county the other fourth. Let the! cutisiruction of tliese be completed in i ten years. It will be found by exam-1 ination that ten years of annual road! tax in most of the counties will be j equal to the cost of the rods. The Slate might pay most, or ail of its half in labor and material. I he towns will receive ihe greatest benefit from the roads for a long time and should not grumble at being taxed for their fourth. The country! people will be helped so much Ihat ihey can ai!y afford to bear their shaie of the burden. This p an would give us a system of parallel roads j running each way throughout the. whole county about tweMv miles apart. The people seeing the advan tage of these would soon devbe ways uf building cross road i.d feeder. And at the expiration i f ten yars Die plan could be extended and modified to as to suit the local surroundings and the whole country soon supplied with good roads. The State would soon get back all of ill ruonev ia the increa-ed valua .f taxable property. We have not room to go into details as Vi engineers. superintendents and traveling prison , cages, etc.. but all 01 these caueaaiiy be arranged. What we want to say is this or some better plan should be at once de manded by the people so etronglv that every legislator would feel it hi dutv and'intereat to t.ee tfiat it is at EASY WAY TO BUILD THEM.
