I THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1894. . I; A Poor Rule'That Wont Work , i . " Both Ways. ;. ' ' Some of the papers are con- ,' ' demning 3eantor Ransom for his vote ia confirmation of Peckham. Senator Ransom has just as mubh 'right to vote that way as Senator Vance has to monopolize all the "Senatorial courtesy" from long taw. Con cord Standard. Certainly, and has not Sena tor Vance as . irruch right to oppose a man for office on "personal grounds" as Senator Ransom. Yet the moat of the papers in the State have been unseemly anxious to lump on Vance for doing the same i ' thing which Ransom did, the " onlv difference between the two has been that Vance has t acted openly and above board in his "personal" opposition and Ransom has not. It was all right for Ransom to oppose -Vance's friend Gudger on "per- Vrj . sonal grounds," but it s an aw- 4 f ul and hienous crime for Vance to oppose Kansom s mend on "personal grounds." But. we didn't start out to lecture the Standard , so far as we have seen, it has been fair in it's criticisms. But some of the papers seem to take a delight in unfairly criticising Vance. The Chron- 'ictle htts no sympathy . wi th the fight between our two Senators and that is the size of the - whole wrangle but all the blame should not be heaped on Vance when Ransom Is deeper into it than Vance, if any odds. It is not correct to charge Vance with opposition to the adminis- tion upon everything. His op position has been confined to a few appointments. a.nd in mosti cases they have been righteous onnositions. Kven if it were - true that h has bpposed the President in evervthine. iti -- r ' would not be a serious charge "A. 1 J' against his democracy, for no one will hardly attempt the difficult task of showine: that the President has done many democratic acts or made manjn democratic appointments du X A ring his present administration In assiing. in defeating Morn blower and Packham, by 'Sen atorial courtesy" from long taw if you please, he was engagea in a misrhty srood cause.

'Senatorial courtesy1 ' v has at least one righteous act t . recommend it. If Vance has ; erred elsewhere he should have : cr'edit for this. :, It ig not our purpose-todefen I 5 j Vance in his opposition to Sirr . ; . inons, as we believe it ill ad vis : to do so, and we regret to see so much unfair criticism against 7 him, which is hardly worthy of ' any North Carolinian w ho loaves if, ; the land ne lives in, ana noit s 1 4 sacred the mernoicy of her nob e ; sons wh6 have made her; whjtt ; : ; - gne is, cniei, auiuug mem ucmg ( Zebulon B: Vance . 4 t , ; 7 . .

W hat else COUld have been grown on the same ground to bring into the county fe300 in hard cash ? Of course there should be some conditions and limitations to the cultiva tion of tobacco, just as to - any- other one tning. , In the first place, tobacco should not be cultivated to the exclusion of other crops. The first thing every vVilkes man should do, is to raise enough corn, wheat, oats, meat, and Jsuch things at home to live on, and every man in VVilkes could do this, if Tie has health and will work. This done., put in your other time and you will have plenty of time if you will only utilize it in cultivating tobacco or some money crop. In the next place, be sure to properly cultivate and attend to your tobacco crop. Better to have a little we J cared for, than an abundance so badly man aged that you canU sell it hard ly at any price. If Mr. Gvvyn f can. average 30 cents per pound, why can't somebody else ? 'If iyou abandon your - other crops and then raise trifling, trashy tobacco, you cannot expect to make a living by raising tobac co, and tobacco raisiug instead of a blessing would of course be a curse to the couuty. The safe plan, as in the case of Mr. Gwyn, is to raise your tobacco as a surplus crop arid then raise it right. Thus it would bring money toTmr own pockets and to the county. Senator White, of La., has been appointed, nominated an confirmed as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the U. S. He is a gentleman of. excel lent ability and of profound le gal learning. Na better selec tion could have been made. He is a Southern man, too. The fight between Hill and Cleve land has resulted in good at last. Hill defeated Hornblower and Peckham, two New .York mugwumps, not fit' for the place, and -thus opened the way for a Southern man of ability. We bow to Hill aid Cleveland both. . The paper repdrts are to the effect that Internal .Revenue Com. Miller has actually decid? ed to 4ssue a new series of rev enue stamps." That's good.'

After marriage I established myself -fnrtir miloQ SnntifffiRt ofmv father ana embarked in the mercantile business, trading for all these familiar things; and being farther up in the moutains I add ed to my list of roots, herbs, etc., forty or more items from the Shakers and Tilde n &jUo's. catalogues. Ginseng continued however to hold a high place in my estimation. In late years I have been advocating the cultivation of the plant, and have tried to show the Agricultural Depart ment Hon. Edwin VVillits, assistant secretary That the solution of the Silk and Tea question lay, not in trying to beat, the Chinese at their own game not in competing with them in work that depended for success upon cheap labor but in supplyingthem with this charm ed root indiginous to us and esteemed by them above all medicines. In this mountain section of North Car olina there are . thousands of acres of land costing but one or two dollars per acre, exactly suited to the growth and production of this valuable plant, land that once abounded in it, where it grew profusely, but where there now remains onlv a little here and there. To this j 4 state of the case I called Mr. Willit's attention and he manifested considera ble interest in my suggestion of an ex periment station a Ginseng farm and went so far as to authorize me to pur chase seed for giving the experiment aj start, remarking that there was not then an appropriation from which the neces sary funds could be drawn to justify the department in fully embarking in the work. And here the matter rests. Feeling so much interest in the subject I would be glad to see all that you have puolished on respect to it. There is 110 question in my mind about the pecuni ary success of the business of growing the root for market, and you are doing your readers a service by pressing the subject upon their attention.

When you see them and hear the prices you will understand why we have bought in such quantities. The time to buy is when everybody wants to sell. The bulk of our. stock; for the spring of 1894 was bought du ring the Panic, at panic prices, and will tbe sold accordingly. We do not say, as many, do, "that wewill not : be under sold," but we say to you that while this stock lasts ' . WE WILL UNDERSELL THE BEoT OF THEM. It is a most gratifying statement to make and. we have asked the printer to. put it in bold type.

V ' . , Notwithstanding the great panic we have just passed through, our promises, have been fulfilled and our prophecies realized. And considering all the cir cumstances we look baek,to it as a year of remarkable progress, made so, in our judgement by the fact that bur aim has been not to see how much profit we could make in a single season, but Iiqw low we could stll our goods and our persistent and continuous efforts in driving down prices has brought us the inn creased business we have been working-for. An ounce of experience is worth a pound of logic and, with the results of our past efforts before us, we see our way clear to take a decided step forward, and: with the opening of our new stock shall deal some sledge-hammer blows in the. way of low prices that will speak louder than any any advertisements we "canr make.
