and this increases indebtedness.
They want to dress fine and live

A farmer may be too anxious
to make money. For instance,
he may plant too much cotton or
tobacco, buying fertilizers freely
at heavy cost, yet selling these
products at a price below cost,
and having to buy provisions.

his own supplies at home will in
the end save more and his

greatly cheapens manufactured
products, you But it also
tempts people to more. For
the cheaper an article is the more
of it people purchase. And as
soon as men think they buy
an article cheaper than they can
make it they are inclined to cease
producing it and buy the same.
These goods, too, are of a poor
quality often and therefore still
more are purchased. But how
will they pay for it They can
not pay for it because this labor
saving machinery takes away
their occupations, and they have
nothing to do, or cease to become
producers, but they remain con-
and as great and often
greater consumers, than if they
were laboring. For idle men con-
more than laboring ones do.
It is to the interest of any state
or community that all its citizens
have some useful occupation.

laboring ones, to consider the bad,
drunken, gambling habits they
resort to, for such become dis-

sufferers.
If we had to produce our own
meat and bread by our labor that
meat and bread would be sweet
to our taste, and sweet would be

Much blame is often attached
to the government for by
those that do not understand the
matter. They think the govern-
can manufacture money, or
print, or mint it as they please.
If a government buys gold or
bullion they can it into
money, or they can coin the
lion of others, under proper
from Congress. They can
also issue or print paper or notes
and bills of credit, but these are
always redeemable- That is, tho

the holders of these upon demand,
these notes would become
worthless.
Is the Devil Loose
When one takes a calm
of the world's doings he is
that most nations do not
end in the fate of Sodom and
Gomorrah. The devil seems to
be loose, stalking abroad in the
land, high of all he
surveys, and whom he
may It is a terrible
hour for all nations, because no
ruler knows when he retires at
night whether his kingdom or re-
public will be standing in the
morning. The undercurrent of
dissatisfaction is flowing madly
through the feelings of all the
people, from the highest to the
lowest- The millionaire is not
only worried to know how to get
the balance of the earth,
actually has fears, and just ones,
for his own personal safety ; the
poor picture of poverty sits
down among the ashes of bis
miserable hovel and wonders how
he will manage to keep soul and
body together, and his wonder-
lead him into a shimmy and
delirious sympathy with the
throwers, and anarchism
takes possession of the poor
low. Between these two ex-
lie the power and the
of the voice
is loudly speaking and must be
heard; the power has become
automatic and is ready to assert
itself whenever the signal is given
by an intoxicated brain. Trouble

that man has attempted to prove
his capacity to govern and be
governed. Verily it is the day
of the Demagogue, who has
ed the evils that exist and mag-
imaginary wrongs until
they rise up like mountains.
It has at last come to the point
that it is left for tho United
to demonstrate the success of
republican government, and a
government of freedom. There
was never a time in the history
of the world when every step of
a public career was more perilous,
and yet never a time more

it is found that minutes taken
each year will not only have been

will have been given up. So
Pope Gregory XIII, who

decreed that every year
divisible by four should be a leap
year after all. So we borrow
minutes each year, more than
paying our borrowing back by
omitting three leap years in three
years and square mat-
by having a leap year in the
fourth year. Pope
Gregory's arrangement is so ex-

back balanced so nicely, that

day, nor tan he anticipate being a
candidate for office again when
the infant of to-day becomes a
voter. It is said that at his
try-weekly afternoon receptions
in the White House there are
numerous women present who
take along their progeny
to get the President to kiss
them, but when invited to do so
he obstinately refuses to extend
the greeting. Of
course every woman thinks she
has the prettiest baby in
the world, and it is useless to add
that leaves the reception
with a feeling of keen disappoint-
over the President's failure
to kiss her own little cherub. But
Grover the line
kissing just the same.
The spectacle at Washington
of wrangle over who should be
nominated for office and whether
they shall be confirmed after
nomination is such as to create
in the minds of most people a
doubt as to whether the methods
of filling various offices is a wise
one or not. It has about come
to this, that the Senators from
each State must suggest all the
appointments to be made from his
State and no one must dare inter-
with this assumed prerogative,
not even a majority of the party
to which he is indebted for the
position that enables him to lay-
claim to this autocratic power.
The appointing power must
so bow his will and if exercised
to the contrary he defiantly takes
issue with such and says will
see that you are made to respect
my wishes. I will do this by
up your appointments as de-
feating them for
On the other hand the appointing
power says must confirm my
appointments or I will cease to
make any in which you are inter-
and so it goes, you do this
sir and I will do that; you fail
to do so and I will show you
What a spectacle
for statesmen, so called, to exhibit
to the country Is it not
as to the expediency of the
methods of filling positions
President and Senators are most
too far removed from the people.
They should remember that the
boast of this country is that the
people We know of appoint-
that have either been
hung or failed of confirmation
which if they had been left to
the vote of the party would have
received at least a vote
in favor of confirmation. On the
other hand we know of instances
where the party have almost
demanded that
be made and yet there are
no indications that such appoint-
are even in contemplation,
but those who ever opposed
every interest of the party arc still
reaping the emoluments of the
offices with no prospect of removal.
Yet we are a of the
people, for the people and by the
people.
It is getting time for some
pie to learn that a public office is
a public trust not a position
given to advance personal ends.
It behooves the Democratic party
to tactics a little at the
capital and fill the offices with
men whom the voters at the last
election demanded should be
placed in these places. It is now
about twelve months since the
present administration assumed
control of the government and in
many communities not a single
Federal office has been filled by a
Democrat, but the same men
pointed by a
go in and out before tho
people with an air that is chilling
to Democratic proclivities. So
far as legislation id concerned,
much has been done and there is
little cause for complaint, but the
people demand that the offices
filled by Democrats, and it is
high time that tho President and
Senators shall subordinate per-
preference and work
in attending to this
all important matter. Unless
they do this and do it
irreparable injury must inevitably
result to the Democratic party.
There is not much time to act to
be in time for this years elections.

great fortune and pleasure to vis-
it this social and animated town,
and during a protracted sojourn
of several weeks, many things
worthy of have come under
my observation. I was impress-
ed the beginning with the
business activity displayed by the
citizens and the growing enter-
prises are developing into
fields of industrial wealth. Fore-
most among the latter is the to-
trade, which recently has
developed large proportions and
promises for the future the chief
crop of commerce in the country.
Two million pounds for this
season have been sold at an aver-
age price of cents, making the
neat sum of two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars distributed
among the people. Two large
warehouses are in daily operation
buying, selling, shipping, etc.
This county thus fa-, I am inform-
ed, shows the best average both
in grade and price of any market,

of Greenville is second to none.

thriving town is the In-

and experienced manager, Mr.
Andrew Joyner, which
tees a cure of the opium, whiskey
and tobacco habit. The success
thus far attending this worthy
effort to assist our fellow men to
a higher and nobler existence, I
am pleased to say is meeting with
astonishing success, and the good
citizens recognizing its influence,
exerted for the common good of

of sympathy and aid. Many

Greenville is the happy posses-

may be justly There is an
energy and public spirit shown
truly commendable. In saunter-
through this town streets
where residences and churches
are to be seen a visitor can but
remark on the many evidences of
refinement and taste evinced by
the ladies in the adornment of
their surroundings and many
charming and bright faces are to
be seen reflecting a happy and
domestic peace framed in these
pretty homes.
The professions are all well and
ably represented. The -Lurches
and ministers seem to imbued
with the spirit of the fraternal
love that speaks volumes for the
generosity of the thought and

WASHINGTON LETTER.
our Regular
Washington D. C, Feb 1894.
Democratic Senators are
with the progress made by
the sub-committee on the Wilson
tariff bill, although they would,
of course, have been glad to have
had the bill reported to the full
committee this week. However,
the time spent in getting the bill
in proper condition is not time
lost. Every Democratic member
of the Finance committee,
Senator Vance who is away on
account of his health, has been in
almost constant conference with
Senators Jones, Vest and Mills,
who the sub-committee,
and when the bill is reported to
the full committee Jones
thinks it will not be later than
next it will in reality be
ready to be reported to the Sen-
ate, as all the changes made will
have received the approval of all
of the Democrats on the Finance
committee. Sugar seems to be
the principal stumbling block,
although there are several other
articles upon which there are
in opinion. But all of
the Democratic Senators agree in
saying that the indications are
to a harmonious agreement.
It looked early in the week as
though Representative Blond's
bill for the coinage of the
would go through without
any serious trouble, but he made
several ineffectual attempts to
cure the unanimous consent
in the absence of an order
from tho committee on Rules to
set a time for closing the debate.
The opposition not only refused
to consent to set a time to vote,
but it notified Mr. Bland that the
friends of the bill must make
their own quorum when they did
vote. Ex Speaker Reed became
so in his opposition to
Mr. attempts to close the
debate that Mr. Hatch, who was
in the chair, had to call for the
Sergeant-at-Arms before he could
get order. Mr. Bland was
mad.
Representative Bryan, of Ne-
is going on a tariff reform
and silver speech-making tour.
His first speech will be made on
the 21st inst., to the students of
the Normal school at Valparaiso,
Ind. The next evening ho is
scheduled for a speech at the
Chicago Union League banquet.
From there he goes to Lincoln,
Nebr., and then to Denver, where
on the 28th inst., he is to speak at
the banquet of the
Club on Reform and Bi-

His two-day speech tho
Hawaiian question, this week,

of tho relations between this
try and the little islands, of which
he truly said, an earthquake
or a convulsion in those southern
seas were to swallow them up to-
morrow, there would not be, ex-
from of humanity
for the loss of life, a ripple on the
surface of the world's It
is because the question involved
is one of international morality
that this Hawaiian business be-
comes important. Senator Gray's
remarks about tho flag incident
are worthy of careful
good deal has been said about
the hauling down of the
can flag in Honolulu. When the
American flag is hauled up by the
order of a Democratic President
it will be hauled up under cir
that will keep it
where it is, until the winds of
heaven have beaten it into rags.
It will never be hauled up in dis-
honor. It will never be hauled
up so as to put the great people
whose symbol of power and
it is to tho It will
never misrepresent the
the greatness, the
age of the United States, as it
did when it was hauled up at the
request of this revolutionary junta
in the Hawaiian Islands on the
1st day of February, 1893- What
are we to say in condemnation of
the President, who unhesitating-
when he found that a wrong
had been done, ordered the flag
to be hauled down The

by the child's parents when he
was a few months old, and are
supposed to have been there at

that they might be best provided

is, what shall I plant, where

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

goes very far to show that a

FREE LEAF TRAFFIC.
Letter from Mr. of
Lynchburg.
The rapid growth of the traffic
in free leaf, and the proportions
that this trade has already
ed, has awakened some interest,
even created some alarm, the
tobacco trade. And some
are being put forth on the part
of some of the trade to bring this
matter to the attention of Con-
and to the repeal of
this clause of revenue law. Yet,
as compared to the far reaching
and vital importance of the sub-
the interest manifested is
slight and the efforts being pot
forth to correct the evil and avert
the damage that is being wrought
to interest involved in the
tobacco industry planter to
are limited and
feeble- By this I do not intend
to insinuate that the efforts w
have been and are now being made
are lukewarm and feeble in kind,
and that the various committees
and individuals which have
this matter to the commit-
tees of Congress are not earnest,
zealous exponents of the
of the bodies that they
represent, and able advocates of
the cause they have in hand, but I
mean to assert that the efforts are
not, in degree nod extent, at all
commensurate with the vital
of the subject- The
traffic in free leaf, under the pro
visions of the revised and amend-
ed law of 1890, has gone into
channels and assumed
never, in my judgment;
contemplated or anticipated by
the patrons and original
of this measure- Whilst
there is a great latitude in the
letter of this bill, as applied to
the sales of leaf tobacco, yet I am
almost sure that the spirit and
intent of the provisions
removing all restrictions from
the sale of leaf tobacco was that
the farmer or producer might
the privilege of disposing
of his product free from tax. I
venture to assert that the whole
of the real intent of this measure
on the part of its advocates is
couched in first clause of sec-
of tho net of October
1890, which is as follows
all provisions of the
statutes imposing restrictions of
any kind whatsoever upon form-
and growers of tobacco, u re
t the cf leaf tobacco,
the keeping of books and the
registration and the report of the
sale leaf tobacco, or imposing
any tax account of such sales,
are hereby
And I am frank to say that in
so far as this provision was in
good faith really designed as a
I benefit and relief to the producer,
it was proper and commendable.
As a benefit to the grower how-
ever, it is inoperative and a
failure inasmuch as the farm-
not as a rule, to any no
extent availed of its
I am quite sure that it
was in no sense designed as a re-
lief and benefit to the dealer and
trader in leaf tobacco, nor do I
believe that free leaf was con
of in the interest of the
consumer- If the latter be true,
and it was designed in part as a
relief and a benefit to the con-
sumer, as giving a cheap chew
and smoke, then as a logical
conclusion, it would be the proper
and just thing to go father and
remove all restrictions and all
taxes from all classes of tobacco.
No, it was never thought of in
any light, or predicated upon any
principle except as a direct or
indirect benefit to the farmer.
Whereas, and in point of fact, it
is, if not directly, certainly
detrimental to the interest
of the farmer, for the plait reason
that the sale of non-taxable leaf
demoralizes and disorganizes the
manufacturing branches diminish-
es the prosperity and ability of
the manufacturer, who is the
natural and reliable customers for
the farmer's product. This is
not a theoretical view and far-
fetched reasoning and a strained
conclusion, it is a plain, practical
view of the matter.
It is a limited and superficial
view of the subject to conceive
that it affects only the
of tobacco ; it injuriously
a large and important class
of industries unnecessary to
and enumerate, which furnish
a vast amount of supplies that en-
into the manufacture and
of tobacco for the
mate trade; it also immediately
concerns a large population of
operatives and laborers who are
dependent for their daily sub-
upon the existence
prosperity of the numerous
now operating throughout
the country. And at the risk of
appearing to the advocates of this
free-leaf indulging in
absurd propositions, I repeat and
affirm that it is already, and if
not corrected will ultimately be
vitally injurious to the farmer's
best interest. Intelligent farm-
can comprehend and
this proposition, and if the
farmers could induced as a
class to give this subject their
consideration and attention, it
would the proper thing, and I
venture to say the safe thing to
do; to commit the whole matter
of correcting this evil into
hands.
I looked at this subject
from the standpoint of its effects
upon the tobacco
general tobacco interests. As to
the revenue feature of the subject,
I have only to say brief, that
it does seem inconsistent that
Congress should now be
plating and agitating the question
of an increased tax on tobacco to
meet the necessities of the
government, and have
most unmercifully increased the
tax on one class of manufactured
product, should still hesitate to
repeal this free loaf bill, which is
already so seriously diminishing
the revenue from this source, and
which has no good and real
in justice, expediency, or
good will to any class.
I regard the sale of free, non-
taxable leaf for consumption as a
serious and grave menace to the
future weal and prosperity of the
general tobacco industry of the
country. If, this view of the
matter, I should be regarded by
any as unduly and extravagantly
magnifying the evil, let the fig-
speak and indicate the
of subject. It is as-
that whereas there were
only three dealers in raw leaf
prior to the passage of this free-
leaf clause in 1890, number
has increased to about thirty
thousand- With an increase of
about three hundred and sixty-
one in the month of November.
Contemplate this ratio of
tum and calculate the result in
tho near future.
I am not treating this subject
and giving these views from a
manufacturer's standpoint, for I
am not a manufacturer, but
ply as one interested in the pros-
and health of the tobacco
industry of the country.
Every branch of the trade and
every interest involved should
arouse and move in solid column
to Wave this evil corrected by the
prompt repeal of this free leaf
and have the law so
amended us to entirely prohibit
the sale of taxable leaf for
consumption.
A Living Tobacco Stalk.
Mr. W. G. who lives
out between Elon College and
brought us a green stalk
of tobacco yesterday that grew in
the chimney corner outside, from
a root three years old, and has
grown a good plant of matured
tobacco for three years. The
stalk he brought us has not been
killed by frost this winter and
looks about as fresh as if it was

A STORY.
Strange Discrepancy.
Auditor forthcoming
report will contain same
tables which will cause a good
deal of talking and thinking in
this State- One table will show
the assessed value of property in
the country and the towns upon
which the taxes are collected.
Another table will show tho value
of the same property as
by the owners to the census
takers in 1890. It is said that the
amount as given in to the census
people is twice as great as that
on which taxes are paid.
There is food for thought in
this paragraph. Why should
there be such a difference in the
value of property when the
taker and the tax assessor
come around Wouldn't the tax
rate be low if every man made
an honest return What do some
people do with their consciences
when they return their property
for taxation There is more
stealing, more cheating, and more
done right here,
anywhere else, and
that too for only a small sum of
money comparatively. If a man
were to devote much time to
studying the tax returns we fear
he would be an
convert to a belief in the total
depravity of man.
Strange as it may seem most of
this evasion of the law is
among men of largo estates who
could more easily pay the tax re-
quired. This is a fit subject for
a text and the Times
would be glad to have tho preach-
come to its in

CHAPLAIN OF THE HOUSE.
Something About the Young Man Re.
Elected to This Office.
Rev. Edward B. who was
recently elected to be chaplain of
the house in place of Rev. S. W.
who died after a brief
occupation of the is a very
young man to occupy so
a position, though Rev. W. H.
the blind chaplain of the
senate, was chosen chaplain of the
house when but twenty-two years of
age. Rev. Mr. was born
September in King and
Queen county, Va., so that ho is but
little more than twenty-eight. He
was reared in Richmond, obtained
his education at Aberdeen academy,
the Kentucky university and the
Yale divinity school. This young
Virginian, enlisted in Christian
work as a representative of the de-
nomination of the Disciples of Christ,
found his first charge along the line
of the Chesapeake Ohio railroad,
ministering to the people of
Clifton Forge and Sinks
Grove. From these little churches
in these towns he went to Newport
News to preach, until he became en-
gaged in evangelistic work among
many which he visited to
conduct revivals. In April, 1891,
the Vermont Avenue Christian
church, Washington, built a chapel
on Capitol Hill, and called upon Rev.
Mr. to conduct a revival
meeting to awaken interest the
undertaking. At that meeting about
one hundred converts were added to
the church, and the interest aroused
has been so maintained under the
ministrations of the young pastor
that the Ninth Street Christian
church numbers, with two and one-
half years of existence, mere than
four hundred members, including a
very large body of active Christian
Endeavorers. Mr. is tall,
dark, slight and beardless. He does
not wear clothes of ministerial cut,
and he does not wear a white tie.
His voice is soft and smooth, and ha
uses it without dramatic effort in
prayers of the simplest character,
none of which are

It Might Have Been Worse.
The maddest man in
county has been found by our
correspondent. He lost a flock
of geese lately and consulted a
um as to their whereabouts. To do
he drove sixteen miles in a cold
snowstorm and was told on arrival
that the desired information would
be forthcoming on payment of one
dollar. This information, when he
got it, was that the geese had been
stolen and dressed for market by a
certain man who was named. The
owner of the geese then drove home
vowing vengeance and determined
to punish the thief to the fullest ex-
tent of law. His wrath was not
assuaged, only turned in a new

own dooryard, he was met by a hiss
from missing fowls as they filed
into the yard from an adjacent
swamp. But what if they had de-
