CAUSES OF BASHFULNESS.
Reason Advanced to Account
for the Unpleasant Affliction.
Bashfulness is what is known
medically as a functional disorder
that is to say, it does not d
upon any actual disease, but is
duo to some temporary
with the natural action of
the brain. When the natural ac-
of the brain is thus interfered
with, say it is inhibited.
The first chief cause of bashful-
consists in a man's attention
being directed to himself. The
man who is quite at ease in his

comes self-conscious in the draw-
room and very shy.
Although capable of joining in
the conversation, his witty re-
mark is forestalled he is
too slow in giving utterance to it,
or too timid to hear his own voice.
The ordinary action of his brain is
inhibited by his self-consciousness.
The second cause is emotion. The
extreme bashfulness of many men
when they are in love is prover-
and the surprisingly few mar-
men who suffer from bashful-
is noteworthy.
These causes are, however, usu-
ally insufficient to bash-
but must some
further necessary condition. Many
conditions predispose to it. For
example, a highly nervous
deficient moral
with which is associated lack of
self-assertion. These may re-
as constitutional causes.
Another predisposing cause is
education. The general
education may been neg-
or the want of opportunity
of acquiring self-confidence in
society may have been experienced.

D. C, Feb.
An early extra session of the
Fifty-third Congress now appears
more certain than at any time since
Confess met. Ex-Gov. Campbell
of Ohio, one of the prominent
Democrats who were in
ton this week, who is believed to
enjoy the confidence of President
elect Cleveland, said here
I think the chances of an
extra session are good, if not
most certain. The silver law
should be repealed, and as it will
not be done at the present session
j from this week's attempt
and failure, it must be done by an
extra session. The democratic
platform demands such a repeal
a general sentiment in this direction
the party ; the
silver question was one of the main
of the last campaign ; the
party stands pledged to its repeal
and it will keep its
Campbell acknowledged that he
could name several of the coming
cabinet, but courteously declined
to do so.
Senator Morgan introduced a
bill this week that will simplify the
proceedings should the present
negotiations result in the
of Hawaii. The bill provides
that whenever the United States
over any
country or place, by treaty
of annexation or otherwise, the
President, with the advice and
consent of the Senate, may appoint
a governor and legislative council
for the same, whose acts shall be
subject to revision or repeal by
Congress. Mr. Harrison has not
yet officially recognized the
Hawaiian commissioners and their
negotiations are all with Secretary
Foster. It is believed that Mr.
Harrison, who is known to favor
annexation, is waiting to hear what
the representative of the deposed
Queen may have to say before
taking any official action. In the
meantime the Department is

The investigation of the money
spent in the United States by the
agents of the Panama Canal Com-
now being conducted by a
House committee, has just gone
far enough to create a general de-
for more information. It
has brought the fact that a
great deal more money was spent
in this country than the public had
any idea of, and that it was largely
paid for secret services of some
sort, the receiver giving no
voucher for what he received. It
is to be regretted that this
was not started earlier in
the session, as it is feared that there
may not be time between this and
the of March, beyond which date
the committee will have no exist-
to ascertain the names of
those who received this money.
The reported sudden which
has been made the excuse for ex-
Secretary Thompson's not appear-

NO W that the planting
season is again near
at band, the question
which is of the most inter-
est to farmers, is, what
shall I plant, where shall
I plant, and how shall I
plant it. After determining
what to plant and when to
plant, it is of equally as
much importance how you
plant and cultivate. We
think it is conceded by all
that no land will make
a good crop unless prop-
cultivated. The re-
of last years crops, we
think, goes very far to
show that a judicious use
of commercial fertilizers
pays on the lands in this

BIG MONEY IN CORN.
HOW Mil. A. PAGE RAISED OVER BUSHELS OF
TO THE ACRE ON TEN ACRES OF LAND.
From Wilmington Messenger, Nov, 1802
Mr. A. B- Page, of Nichols, S. C, has this sea-
son gathered the enormous yield of 49-66 bush-
els of corn from ten of land. This makes an
average of over bushels to the acre, and it will be
interesting to know how Mr. secured such
results. In a letter to Messrs. Worth Worth, of
this city, be writes follows, telling how it was
showing result of a ten field of
corn cultivated by A. B. Nichols, C Laud
was broken with two-horse turn-plow, November,
1891, having been highly manured for several years
before this. February, broadcast
bushels green cotton seed per acre, broke them in
with turn-plow, then oat in seven and one-
foot rows. I then put in water furrow seven
tons compost made from Carmer for-
for Homo Fertilizer. On this I reversed two
turn furrows, planting one double row of corn with
corn planter eighteen inches apart to seven
and one-half feet, March 15th. As soon as com was
up I cultivation with inch
plowing deep and keeping land as level as possible
until last plowing, which was done about the last of
June with a Stonewall sweep. During cultivation I
applied in furrows side of corn pounds cotton
seed meal. In the field there wore sixty-eight
rows. rows were measured with flour bar-
yielding an average of barrels to tho row,
or flour barrels to the ten acres. Each barrel
yielded pounds shelled corn, pounds or
bushel to the ten acres. A- B.

Messrs. Carmer Co.
Gentlemen In reply to your as to the
of Home Formula, I have used tho same for the past

sider it one of tho most reliable fertilizers I have over used
and, cost considered, cheaper than other fertilizers that I
have used. My experience is confined to its use under
and by the side of corn and cotton only. When carefully
and properly made, and used as per directions, I consider
it unequaled. Respectfully, GEO. P-
Ga., August 12th, 1892.
Messrs. Boykin, Carmer Co.
Sirs have tried two tons of
year for tho first time, and I can safely say that it has
thoroughly proved recommendation. I have tho best
cotton and corn in my vicinity. Please write me terms

name, do so. Yours truly, DAVID

And now in conclusion let me say
that I am working very bard to
build up the tobacco interest of
Eastern North Carolina in general
and Greenville in particular, and I
ask your assistance. With you
all can be accomplished. Without
you nothing. My intention is to
make the tobacco department a
newsy and interesting feature of
the Reflector and to place it in
the hands of every tobacco man in
Eastern Carolina.
L- Joyner.
By an arrangement that I have
made with Mr. Whichard, one
page of the Reflector will here-
after be devoted to the tobacco in-
of Eastern North Carolina-
The object of this is to place within
the reach of every tobacco farmer
a paper that not only contains the
local news of general interest but
also reliable tobacco reports from
the tobacco growing sections, both
of this State and Virginia. We
have some farmers who have made
splendid success in the cultivation
of tobacco, whose views on the
cultivation and management of
tobacco I shall attempt to procure
and in due time place them in the
columns of this page for the
fit of others who are just beginning
the cultivation of tobacco. I am
now in correspondence with a
gentleman at Greensboro who has
made the curing of tobacco a care-
study for years and if tobacco
can be successfully cured by his
plan, which he argues is the only
natural way of doing it, it will
save many, many nights of weary
unrest to the tobacco curers- This
and many other things which I
For a number of years past, the
Winston Tobacco Journal edited by
H. E. Harman. has been exposing

methods of the American Tobacco
Co. In this until of recent date he
has been entirely alone- Every
newspaper and tobacco trade paper
remained silent while the poverty
stricken and depressed of
North Carolina and Virginia were
sacrificed at the altar of their
fish greed. For his bold and manly
denunciation of this king of
can trusts frequent attempts to
boycott him have been made but
all to no avail. He stood
and invulnerable against the
blasting threats of this irate band
of legalized robbers, and now not
only the New York World and
other leading northern papers are
lighting the trust but also the

HIGHER TAX ON TOBACCO.
Congress Disposed to Increase the Rate.
Inquiries among leading Demo-
and Treasury officials who
have discussed the subject of In-
Revenue taxation reveal an
interesting state of affairs. It be-
gins to look as though it was a
certainty that the tobacco pro-
vision of the present Internal Rev-
law would be repealed, and
the law in force prior to the pass
age of the Bill enacted
again. The revenues of the conn
try, these Congressmen say. must
be increased. Whiskey will have
to stand a higher rate of taxation,
as a matter of course, and tobacco
industry also must carry an extra
burden. Some of the coming leg-
favor a considerable in-
crease, spirits say it
will not be wise to do more than
return to the rates imposed before
the ill-starred Congress
ed the internal taxation. This pro-
posed policy would result in the
re-imposition of an eight cents a
tobacco and snuff tax, in-
stead of the present six cents a
pound tax; restoration of the
special taxes, especially on dealers
and a return to the former
concerning cigars, etc. One
exception, however, is noticeable.
An intention to make war on the
cigarette tax, will probably be in-
creased to one dollar a thousand,
unless special efforts are made to
prevent it
The latest comparative state
issued by the Commission of
Internal Revenue shows that there
will be a very great increase in the
revenue collected by his
during the present fiscal year,
judging from the of the
past six two millions
in the tobacco items alone.
It believed here that the re-
tail dealers in leaf tobacco will be
legislated out of existence by the
coming Congress, as
special tax formerly imposed
would, if imposed again, drive
them out of the business, and in-
to this effect are not
