In the year 1SG7, Horace Greeley signed the bail bond of Jefferson Davis in open court in Richmond, Ya. After two years of the most brutal, inhuman treatment the world ever saw, outside of Siberia, Jefferson Davis stood at last free and among his own jeople. The burst of indignation that fell upon Greeley's head poured down upon him like an avalanche from the north and west, and a weaker man would have fallen beneath it. Amid it all he stood erect. It was proposed at the time to expel him from the Union League club, of Xew York. From an old magazine, we copy this letter one of the most remarkable documents that remain to us from that dark and gloomy period. Greeley addressed it to the officers of the League club, It was as follows : "I shall not attend your meeting this evening. I do not recognize you as capable of judging, or even fully com prehending me. You evidently regard me as a weak sentimentalist, misled by a maudlin philosophy. I arraign you as narrow-minded block-heads, who would like to be useful to a great and good cause, but don't know how. Your attempt to base a great, enduring party on the heated wrath necessarily engen dered by a bloody civil war, is as though you should plant a colony on an iceberg which lr d somehow drifted into a trop ical ocean. I tell you here that out of a life earnestly devoted to the good of human kind, your children will recol lect my going to Richmond and signing the bail bond as the wisest act, and that it did more for freedom and humanity than all of you were competent to do, though you had lived to the age of Methusaleh. I ask nothing of you, then, but that you proceed to your ends in a brave, frank, manly way. Don't sidle off into a mild resolution of censure, but move the expulsion you proposed, and which I deserve, if I deserve any reproach whatever. I propose to fight it out on the line that I have held from the day of Lee's surrender. So long as any man was seeking to overthrow our government, he was my enemy ; from the hour in winch he laid down his arms, he was my formerly erring countryman." Mr. Greeley was not expelled. The bail bond of Jefferson Davis was signed by Mr. Greeley Map 13, 1867. Keeps 'em Out. Sum mar if. A Kansas "woman who has been elect ed police justice of her city lias adopted a novel solution for the tramp problem. The first tramp who was brought before her for judgement was sentenced to two baths a day for ten days and to hard labor on the stone pile, with the order that he be fed if he worked and starved if he shirked. The prisoner survived the ordeal, but now the first question a tramp asks on approaching a Ksuisas town is whether the nolice judge is a man or a woman. SCOTLAND NECK, AT WHAT AGE IS SUCCESS WON? POINTS FOB YOUNG MEN. The Opinions of Eminent Men. Virginian. The Xew York Press has started an interesting question. It has interview ed a number of pron " . men con cerning the age when ess is likely to come, and here a me of the opinions on the subject : C. P. Huntington thinks that "suc cess may be won by any man, no mat ter how old, who is honest, intelligent, industrious and willing to live on less than he earns. I have known men," said he, "who began to rise in life after the age of fifty." Senator Mills, of Texas, says that a man must make his mark before he is 10, and he must get his hard work done before he is 55. I do not mean to be understood that all the world must know he has made his mark before he is 40, but he must have made it by that time, and in order to do this he must begin to make it when he is young, say by the time he is 25. If the idea of success be the accumulation of money he must by the time he has reached the lr.tter age have learned how to lay up something all the time. Dr. George F. Shrady told the Press that the wisest men do not try to achieve success while young, and the same opinion was entertained by Gen. James, who thinks good health, deter mination and ability will bring success to a man at any age. Gen. James backs up his opinion by making the following illustrations : Abraham Lincoln was not a success in the ordinary acceptation' of the term until the memorable debate between him and Douglas, and that was in 1858, when Lincoln was 40 years of age. Before that he was accounted a smart Western lawyer, a shrewd politician only, and yet all the world knows that after that he became the great figure of the country. The man whose name has gone down in history .-us that of the General who fought more battles and won more victories than any other soldier, Ulysses S. Grant, was practically unheard of until after 1860, when he was 38 years old, and it was not until after 1860, when he was 38 years old, and it was not until after he was 40 that he really began to make the wide and deep mark which he has left on the records of the civil war. When Elihu Washburn called upon Grant to'preside at a meeting held for the purpose of raising recruits in Ga lena, he chose Grant because he was known as Captain Grant, and in spite of the fact that Grant was then as con spicuous because of failure as he after ward became because of success. Charles A. Dana was not successful in the larger sense of the word until he got The Sun in 1867 or 1868, and in '67 Mr. Dana was 18 years of age. He was managing editor of The, Tribune before the war at $20 a week ; during the contest he was Assistant Secretary of War, and after peace was declared he essayed jonrnalism unsuccessfully in Chicago. The secret of his success lay, of course, in his magnificent mental endowment, primarily, but he has al ways had good health and no failure ever caused him to lose heart. Ex-Mayor Grace, of Xew York, gave as his opinion that a man has a plenty of time to be successful after the age of 45, and Judge Noah Davis is of the opinion that a man must display ability before he is 40, but his success may come after that. Xow this is the way Gen. Horace Porter puts it : "A vigorous man may win at 70 ; most men ought to win at 40, if they are going to win at all, though there are those who hold that a man does not attain his full powers until he has lived two score years. You know the mili thry adage, "Old men for counsel and j-oung men for fighting," and this is true of military life, because martial success depends as much on physical vigor as mental. . Gladstone's wonderful vigor makes him a better fighter at his advanced age than he ever was EXCELSIOR" IS OUR MOTTO. N. C, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1894. before, but Gladstone's mcce began when he was young. I do not think your question could !e answered to fit every case. It c!ejends upon the man and his conception of what success is.'' The Virginian agrees with the At lanta Conntitution that, jerhais, the views of Gen. Porter are the most satis factory. Gen. Porter's idea is that "it dej-ends upon the man and his concej tion of what success is." However, the question is one alout which there will always be some difference of opinion. HOPE FOB THE FABMEB. A Bise In Land The South to the Front Tariff Beform a Certainty. Chariot tr. Obxrrver. The real cause of the almost world wide business depression lies in the un rest and the strained conditions of the farming classes, their poverty and their inability either to pa' debt, to get cred it, or to buy the goods of the merchant or the product of the mill. This logi cally entails ruin on all ; but it falls heaviest on the farmer and land owner, who, in his strait, suffers in three dif ferent ways :(1) Lack of means to oper ate his lands ; (2) want of a market for farm products, and (3) the fall in the value of his lands. On these grounds the agricultural South has always stood : 1, For free markets, home and foreign ; 2, against concentration of capital ; and 3, against protected industries.. Those were the issues practically set tled by the great campaign of 1892. But from that day to this, gigantic ef forts have been made by the protected and other capital interests to defeat the results of the great popular victory. But now truth and justice prevail ; the re form tariff bill of a great Southern lead er (W. L. Wilson) passes the House amid shouts of victory, and by a major ity so large (64) as to insure general as sent alike in the Senate and in the country. And strange to say, so mark ed were its provisions in its blows at concentrated wealth, that it received even the Populist vote, and was carried against the influence of Xew York, Philadelphia, Boston aad Chicago ! Meantime the South has made enor mous advances in her diversified farm industries and all manufacturing and farming interests ; and from far-off, un crowded Texas even comes the word that her available lands are rapidly ris ing in value. This means restored credit and increased power. Money, too, is easy, and it only lacks fidelity to principle, practical economy and gen erous enterprise to bring hoie and con fidence to all. And better still, there is at last a broad and literal spirit of political, sectional and sectarian pa triotism pervading all parts of the coun try and all classes of ieople. The Wil son bill and the income tax had vtes from even Xew England. "Truth is mighty and will prevail." Southern Farmer's Outlook. 'Obiter Dicta" in Charlotte Observer. If we look a little ahead of actual present conditions it begins to appear that the Southern farmer's day is near at hand. A reduction in the tariff, es pecially on articles he has to buy, is im minent. The burden of paying the ex penses of the government is about t i be transferred in part from his shoulder to that of those who are letter able to bear it than he is at present, through the working of the income tax, and when he gets able he will again come in for his share. Already the depres sion of the manufacturing and commer cial interests, through causes which lie so deep that neither he nor they could discover them until their effects appear ed, have brought prices down to a point from which they will not recover for years. Who can look into the future to-day with any more confidence than the Southern farmer? The man who would have done so and so if he had been there, never gets there. To be all the time feeling for feeling is a poor way to promote religious life. The man who repents on a sick bed from which he recovers, generally back slides before he pays his doctor's bill. Some men are more afraid of criti cism than a woman is of a shotgun. FOR FARMERS. KASTEB THE SXTTJATIO!?. Hott to Make Double Money zz Pea- , few. Judge Waihr Clark in "The HiJUHh." Edw.ird AlUii-on, the veil knwn economist. lm ircently written an ad mirable article, io:nting out the ti of the jeanut, epo-ialiy as a producer of oil. He it w;is who, years ago, jx,int-c-d out the value of cotton mxl for its oil and it mammal and food qu.iiitio, as cotton seed meal, and the ali:e of the hulls. Prior to this, on many farms cotton seed was di-poscd of n waste. Xow Mr. Atkinson predicts the future usefulness of t!.e jeanut as nn oil producer and in other ways. But before we go into its production extcn.-ively attention should lc calltd to the syndicate which controls the sale of the nuts, making its meml-c-rs millionaires and the producers paujTrs. The number of peanut buyers is small. These have formed a trustor syndicate. By this combination it is decreed that the "farmer's stock" is no( salable, a no all peanuts before liecoming marketa ble must go through what they aie pleased to dignify with the name of peanut "factory." By another of their rules no factory will take the nuts on toll, but they must le sold to the own er of the factory. This delivers the farmer alive into their hands. The peanuts are sold on the market at a price fixed by the syndicate, which is at present about two cents per jK)iind. They are run through the "factory" at total cost of one-fifth of a cent er pound, and are then sold to the retail merchant by wholesale at f jur or sev en cents per jound, according to locali ty. The profits being iooled are pre sumably divided. Xo wonder the far mers find no profit in making jeanuts and that the factory owners are Incom ing millionaires. Farmers generally raise small crops of peanuts, and each not feeling largely interested, as a class they are ignorant of the gross imposi tion practiced upon them in this, as in some other matters. Imposed ujon by the word "factory," they are led to think that there is some costly and mysterious process in preparing the peanuts for market. There is nothing of the kind. The peanuts are joured into a revolvingcylinder which jxjlishes them and blows out the pops and dirt. As they come out they fall upon n broad, endless belt which carries them along to le bagged. Negroes stand on each side of this moving lelt and with paddles deftly sort the peanuts. They are then bagged and sold for more than double the price oaid the farmer. The process of thus preparing them costs not more than one-fifth of a cent. It was also thought that the process was not only mysterious and required skill which we sec is not so but that the machinery was exiensive. But is is said by those who know, that the machinery of one of these so-called "factories" will not cost more than $ 500 to $700, and that the whole plant including machinery, building, en gine everything should not cot over $2,000 to -f 2,500. It was also urged that there was a patent on the mach inery. A party who was bold enough to defy this claim and establish his own factory demonstrated by a suit in court that there was no patent, and thereujon it is said the syndicate took him in and he is now one of our oj pressors and fast Incoming a million aire. As a last resort, to discourage put ting up factories it is given out tha' large capital is required to establish a brand and put it on the market. On the contrary, the writer has recently had correspondence with numerous dealers from San Francisco to Boston, and from Xew Orleans to Montreal, and readily had offers varying from four and one-half to seven cents for nuts, without any question as to brand. The only requirement was that they should le sound and "factory" stock. The syndicate have ed ated the pub lic to require the latter, as it places the trade in their hands. If the farmers generally knew of the above facts, thev could readily eman- SUBSCRIPTION PRICE St.oo.

Chauncey I)ejew against whom no one could think of charging a Puritanic spirit, sjx.-aks as follows on the tcmjer ance question : "Twenty-five years ago I knew every man woman and child in Peekskill. And it has l,een a study with me to mark 1ks who started in every grade of life with myself, to see what has become of them. I was up l.t-t fall, and Igan to count them over, and it was an instructive exhibit. Some of them leeamc clerks, merchants, manu facturers, lawyers and doctors. It is remarkable that everyone that drank is dead not one living of my age. Barring a few who were taken by sick ness every one who proved a wreck and wrecked his family, did it from rum and no other cause. Of those who were church-going jn-ople, who were steady, who were frugal and thrifty every single one of them, without any exception, owns the house in which he lives, and has something laid by, the interest of which, with his house would carry him through many an rainy day. When a man becomes debased in gambling, rum or drink he does not care ; all his finer feelings are crowded out. The women at home are the ones who suffer suffer in their tenderest emotions suffer in their affections for those whom they love letter than life." It will Ikj a great blessing if I my will not only read this, but will determine that, with God's help, they will never drink the first glass. Whn Baby wu dek, we her CtstorU.

From the Alabama farm from ten thousand to twelve thou sand doen are armunlly sold at prices ranging from six to ten dollar- i-r dozen. We wonder why some of our enter prising people do not try raiding tin diamond back terrapin somewhere along our Eastern shores. When we take oTir proximity to the great market along with all our other advantages, coupled with the fact that the demand for terrapin never get slack it would seem to us that the parties embarking in this business at any of the many advantageous oints along our coast would hove a sure cinch on fortune if he only gave the business projr atten tion. There are plenty of avenues oten for making big money in this State in business enterprises, which have neyer yet been even thought of.
