A quarter of a mile from the ford . . . . - . . ' r is the red brick House oi uum Sowers, on whoso property the Daniel Boone cave is situated. A short distance back of the house, inquiry was made at a cabin inhab ited by a colored woman who was weaving homespun jeans on an oldtime hand made loom.. She re marked incidentally that she could manufacture on this instrument 3J yards of cloth a day, working stead ily the whole time. She went., to the door and whooped up one of the older of her numerous progeny, (there were nine in all.)v As a dusky boy put in appearance, she remarked "Tilden show these folks where the 'Devil's Den is." .

Piloted by 'President,' after a journey of a quarter of a mile far ther through the woods the top of a high knoll was reached which; rose precipitously U0 or 100 feet above the water of the North - Folk below. An entrancing dreamland vision here met the eye. For a mile or two above the spot, the riv er could be seen stretching out like a silver thread, and then sweeping swiftly but 8ilntly and impercepti bly around the bend, curving as gracefully as the neck of a swan, re flecting from its glossy bosom the images or the rhododendrons as they peeped over the banks to see how they looked in their new spring dress. No wonder that ;the lover of nature, the great son of the for- j est, liuse this beautiful spot for! his home. Althougn the signs, of j civilization are to be seen around, the spot is comparatively isolated. The crows carry ou their garruloifs conversations unmolested here. In yon high tree the hawk watches with "piercing ken" that pair of glossy wild ducks as they swim albngsaud dive iu waters below. At night the moon-beams dance on the polished floor of the river, to the music of the Eolian orchestra in the pine tree tops, while the aucient solitary owl "calls out with' the smoke of immemorable pine torches which have been used in exploring the cavern. V THE CAVE. : The 'tradition of the country says that this cave was a haunt of Dan iel Boone. That he should have lived iu here is improbable for the quarters are too cramped., lie might have used it to sleep in over night while oat on his banting ex cursions. The cave is at least 45 feet in length from the mouth to the end room ; probably 50 feet or more. It probably contains, on a rough estimate, 150 or 160 square feet. A fire built in the main cave reveals the fact that smoke will come out of a large hole in the rock some 20 feet to the: right of the gave. The outside entrance to the , j- , ,- the occasional sprig3 of the hardy mountain laurel spring forth, ex tend upward for some distance, and on the crown of the hill is a 'J thikcet of the rhododendron. v.

The past year was a mo3t disas trous one to the farmers in Eastern North Carolina, and if asked the question : "Does farming pay ?" most of the farmers would emphat ically reply in the negative. Cer tainly the making of cotton in this State has not been profitable for half a dozen years, and yet, with the exception of the past year, there have been men in every cotton county who have made fair money in raising cotton injeonnection with other farm products. But, at the best, farmers, not onlv in North Carolina, but throughout the coun try are forced to sell their products so low that, after their ekpenses and ; State and . county taxes are keep a horse one year were raised. These facts and figures teach a lesson of value to every farmer in tht State whose land will produce tobacco. What has been done hy an hundred farmers can be 'done by thousands. There ia no land irt the world that will sell for so mo-ch-J nyney as the bright iobacco land of North Carolina. , If all the farmers will realize this fact, and devote their best energies and judgment to make bright tobacco, they will soon be, in spite of the unjust Fed eral legislation which Hvw""1 them, the most prosperous fJI the sun shines-on. , Urowth of the Alliance.

At the top of the hill just across the river is the hospitable home of Mr. Swicegood, who sad died a clay-bank horse aud voluu teered to coide the way across Boone's Ford. Just before reaching the ford there is a beech tree on Mr. Wilson's farm. The tree overhangs the riv er and on its bark, Daniel Boone ia said to have cut his name. The tree is not exceedingly tall and is not more than three or three and a half feet in circumference, and whether it is old enough to have lived in the old pioneer's days is a question to be decided. It is said that beech trees do not show their age ; that is they are generally old- THE ENTRANCE TO THE CAVE. More than half way down the de clivity is tne entrance to the cave, a hole probably live feet wide aud two and a half feet high. One has to crawi through on his digester. luside the cave prof ouud dark ness prevailed, and both a lighted lantern and a candle failed to dis- cover at first the entrance to me inmost recess of the cave. Crawl ing back out into daylight through the entrance, endeavor was made to persuade 'President to enter and point out the way, but all en treaties proved unavailing, lie- turning, however, a second search revealed the entrance to . the other chamber at the left hand corner of the first room. None of the cham bers of the cavern are high enough to stand ap ia except the first one, and a tall man cannot stand erect in that, but crawling along on all fours, and squeezing from one lit tle room into another, a barrier ere long opposed in the solid rock of the hill. Six chambers were thus passed through, all of them smoke- begrimed on the sides and overhead Philadelphia Times. Some of the newspapers are dis posed to think that Senator Vance was jokingithe other day when he introduced a bill into, the Senate directiug the government to estab lish an agricultural depository in every county the agricultural pro ductions of which amounts to $500, 000, at which all farm products shall be received and the deposi tors allowed 80 per cent, of the market value of their produce in Treasury notes. But why shouldn't hejbe in ear- nQt ? The eroverninent has for - CJ years been purchasing fifty per cent or more of the silver product of the United States. If the government is to save a few silver producers the trouble cf finding a market, why shouldn't it do as much for ' the many farmers ? . ' And why shouldn't it buy the iron. coal. cats, dogs, pigs, horses, cows, hens, petroleum, calico, car not- rlr ii rro whiskpv. beer. and. in fact; everything produced on American jsoil? If the govern ment sets up a pawnshop for the silyer men it should become pawnbroker-in-general to everybody. There is more method in Vance's madness thatvin that of the Senate finance committee certainly. When Vance's bill comes before the Senate it should be amended to include everybody's product. Then a market will be provided for the citizens of the Republic without giving them the trouble to look for one. The idea is a grand one ana we insist that Senator Vance is not iokine about it. lie is only trying to make The policy of the govern ment logical because uniform. even if their crop is a failure, js settled, their farms pay them the smallest dividend upon their invest ment, and often pay no dividend at all. . While this temporary depression rests heavily upon a large body of our fanners, it is gratiying to know that in the tobacco section of the State, although the crop has not been large, the farmers have been paid large prices for their tobacco and are more prosperous than for years. And the best part , of this is that the bright tobacco belt, which was once supposed to em brace' only a few counties, extends from the Virginia line to Pitt coun ty on the one hand and to South Carolina in another direction. Five years ago Nash county had never raised any brightiobacco and its farmers did not know that the soil was adapted to it. A number of farmers tried it, and now Nash ranks with the best of the old to bacco counties. On the 14th day of February Mr. IL II. Ricks, a prominent farmer of Nash, sold in Henderson, 22 lots of tobacco, 4, 579 pounds, for $1,934.77, and av erage for all grades of $42.25 per 100 pounds. He had in tobacco last year 45 acres and will average for the entire crop $45 per 100 pounds. Mr. Ricks says that farm ing does pay", and will this "year plant 75 acres in tobacco. What is true of Nash is in less measure trne of Wilson county which; is preparing to follow the example of Nash. Vance county farmers find that farming pays well. In December 1889 Mr D.Y. Copper bought a farm of 518 acres three and one half miles from Henderson, for nUinli Via tv irl in cash 5.080. This IT Ulbll II "' - ' . vear the crop of tobacco alone that farm will bring from $G,500 to $7,000. Mr. Cooper owns three farms near Henderson which cost him about $10,000. They pay him ariuually'a twenty per cent, divi dend. Of course he has the best tenants that can bo had, and makes every edge cut; But so do all men in every calling who understand their business. What enterprise iu the State is paying so handsome a dividend ? Mr. Cooper says that raising bright tobacco does pay, and nftv handsomely. On the same tr J road, aud in the same neighborhood 111 WUICU Jir. vuui o " - arm is situate, are other farmers who have done quite as well witn tobacco. Mr. S. H. Satterwhite, a progressive young farmer, sold the nroduct of t wo . acres lor tyo.ou. For about 200 acres of land he paid $1,000, and how from two acres of that land he gets nearly enough to pay the purchase price. The value of his tobacco crop alone this year will be about $5,000, and it ha3 not cost him to exceed $1,000 to make it. Besides the tobacco, he has made all his supplies.. On the same road Mr. Frank Wortman and Mr. Thos. B. Floyd, both progres sive young farmers, made a success. Mr. Wortham sold one two-horse load of tobacco for $650.55. His crop will bring about $4,000, and he made it and his supplies at a cost of about $1,000. Mr. Floyd, with two horses, will sell his crop for $3 000. In this same neighborhood we might give the experience ol other gentlemen who will answer the question, "Does farming pay? in the affirmative. We give but one more experience, Ithough they might be multiplied almost indefinitely. In January, 1889, W. H. Hart, & Son bought a farm of thirty acres, one and a half miles from Henderson, for which they paid $1,100. Last year they unent $350 for a horse, farming im- nlements and labor. The value of their farm last year was $1,800. In addition oats, ft.- -AA nmrsndor Rllfficicnt tO lit., au u ji. v .

Originating a few years ago in Texas, with a mere handful of men, it has grown until it is now a powerful organization, counting its members by the mil lion. J It may be, and doubtless is, true that they have made mistakes, but they have not been fatal ones, and only served lo make these sturdy sons of toil more determined to press onward in accomplishment of the objects for which they have or-, ganized. They have awakened to a knowledge of their condition, the scales have dropped from their eyes and they realize the powers of mo nopoly against which they must contend. With a body of princi ples which even their enemies are bound to admit are sound,- they. have entered the struggle which will either result in greatly improv ing their condition or riyeting more securely the chains which have been forged by them. Many joined in this movement who did not fully understand the aims and objects of the order, i're judice was created, and many seemed to think they must pull down their neighbor, m orderv to build up themselves, This view of the question and the actions which it pjonyptecL for .a.tinya ..injuredthe.

The fight is likely to be a long one, and every citizen who has the best interest of the country at heart is interested in the result. There should be no unjust prejudice against the farmers; they are, as a rule, conservative, and are too pa triotic to use their power to advance any cause which would prove de trimental to the country at large. It is natural that selfish and nn- .ntinWI mpn should take advan jjl t tage of this powerful organization and by professing a zeal for the farmer which they have never be fore shown, seek to advance their own political or financial interests.
