By A. D. Only Lilliputians
Will Inhabit the Earth.
A French statistician, who has
been studying the military and
other records, with a view of de-
tho height of men at
different periods, reached some
wonderful results.
A Frenchman is naturally an
art is., even in figures. A Gorman
might content himself with a dry
arithmetical compilation; but this
artist carries his statistics into the
realm of history and of poetry, and
even of prophecy. He has not
only solved some perplexing prob-
in regard to the past of the
human race, but also is enabled to
calculate its future, and to deter-
mine tho exact period when man
will disappear from tho earth.
Tho facts extend over
nearly three centuries. It is found
that 1610 the average height of
men was 1.75 or say
feet inches. In 1790 it was
feet inches. In 1820 it was
feet inches and a fraction.
At tho present it is foot
3-4 inches.
It is easy to from
figures a rate of regular and grad-
decline in human stature, and
then apply this, working back-
wards and forwards, to the
to the future. By this
it is determined that the
stature of tho first men attained
the surprising average of feet
inches.

Ever since the 8th of November
we Lave all been talking about
Mr. Cleveland being elected. The
fact of it is he was not in reality
elected until last week when the
Presidential Electors of all the
States met and cast their votes as
required by law.
Mi- condition is such as
to cause much uneasiness to his
friends. His death at any time
would not be a surprise to the
country- It is positively an-
that it is a matter of
time, and that probably short,
when he will breathe his last. The
first man in the Republican party
will have passed away when Mr.
dies- His loss has already
been seriously felt by this party.

he made no apparent effort to de-

his election. He lays no claim to

mated pretty plainly that he is

should be liberally patronized is
admitted. But, to speak plainly.

who wont to New by rail-
road. This writer got a of
the imposition last year and did
not hesitate to speak in
of the action of the railroad.
An excursion from different points
was advertised to put passengers
in New at a certain hour
and landed them there two hours
behind enough to miss
a good part of the day's program
at the fair grounds, This same ex
advertised to put
back home at a certain hour
but failed by live hours to keep its
promise. Instead of getting the
people back home at a reasonable
tour they were kept out most of
the night, some of the cars being
without either fire or water. It is
fish in memory now that twenty-
two loaded passenger coaches
were started out of New be-
hind one engine and made the run
from that town to
miles, in little over throe hours.

Have Treasury officials been re-
deeming counterfeit money Such
is the natural presumption after
reading a special report submitted
by Treasurer to Secretary
Foster this week. This report
shows that the amount paid out by
the Treasury in redemption of
notes, series of 1874, exceeds by
the total amount issued of
that it is usually
the case that the amount paid out
for the redemption of any series
of notes is always than the
total amount issued of that series,
for the very natural reason that
many notes are burned up or lost
they are never found. And
what adds to the probability of
counterfeit notes been re-
deemed by Treasury officials with
good and lawful money is the fact
that there was a dangerous counter-
notes known to have been
pot in circulation about 1874
Treasurer endeavors to
explain by saying that through an
error notes of another series may
have been counted as in that of
1874, and expresses the opinion
that this fact will be clearly shown
when the series of 1875 shall have
all been presented for redemption.
It is very natural that Mr.
should try to make this

I used Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy on a

been from an infant. All who
saw I he bey at the time he commenced
the Remedy thought he could live but a
few days. He was totally unable to
walk a step, and had four or live
running sores which were very offensive.
The inside of his mouth and his tongue
were perfectly raw ; lips so swollen they
appeared to be turned outwards and
were also raw, eyes had been closed
for weeks. The boy is now well, was in
the tobacco field a few days ago at work.
Eight bottles of Remedy made this cure,
and it has been a year since he was cured.

The freezes of last week caused

A CARD.
Jan. 1802.
TO Of It AND
beginning of this, another year,
permit us to thank you for the liberal
patronage so kindly bestowed upon tis
in the past and to wish that the g
year may bring to you peace, plenty and
prosperity.
Permit us also to congratulate you
upon the bright outlook which the future
presents. Cotton, crop, is
now bringing a living price, and a little
more. Most, of you have meat
and corn to provide for you wants and
enough provender to feed your stock
you can make another crop.
addition to all this it has been
proven to the satisfaction of the most
skeptical that both our soil and climate
arc adapted to the production of all
crops. We can make the
tobacco in the our peanuts class
with the best, our rice will hold its own
comparison with that raised else-
where, our potatoes arc among the
est of the State and our yield per acre of
all these crops average as well as
any country c know of.
Now with a dive ratty of cops and the
production of his own supplies at home
repeat the is and the
day is not far distant when the southern
farmer will regain ids lost prestige, and
be recognized as the most independent
and trustworthy of any class of people in
this country.
There is but one thing know of to
retard the progress of our people to in-
dependence and prosperity. That is the
system of credit which is
by many of on- people. No man
can hope to make money who spends it
before it is made. After many years of
experience we have arrived at the con-
that the only safe and
business is- that conducted ox
A cash basis, and after careful
we have determined to place our
business upon THAT BASIS.
THIS DATE WE SHALL DO
STRICTLY A CASH WE SHALL
FOB CASH AND SELL FOB. CASH,
ONLY, mean this in its broadest
sense. We shall keep no books and
credit no one. The to be de-
rived from ibis system of business are as
great to you as they are to us. Because,
1st. Buying and paying for our goods
spot cash we are enabled to buy them
cheaper and you get the benefit of our
low purchases.
2nd. We can conduct business
with less expense and thereby sell you
for a less profit.
3rd. As we credit no one we have no
loss by bad debts and therefore do not
make you pay for what we lose by some
one else. And
4th. We can do less capital
and our money over oftener at a
smaller profit. All of which you get the
benefit of.
We trust our friends will approve of
our new method give us the same
hearty support they have accord-
ed i i the past.
We shall to handle a full line

we know are reliable. Having had

It seems surprising to learn the
fact that twenty years ago
pounds of snuff per annum were
consumed in this country. Much
more astonishing is this
stance, that during the fiscal year
ended July 1892,
pounds of snuff were used in the
United States-
Yet how rarely is it that one

the snuff that is chiefly

some plain, but very little of it is

not the only thing to be taken into
consideration in buying a fertilizer
says the Island
To illustrate Suppose that the
crop and soil demand largely
phosphoric acid and potash and a
little nitrogen, then a fertilizer
with a high percentage of

would be of little value to the
farmer, however high its
value might
The question is not how many
pounds of fertilizer for the money,
but how much potash, phosphoric
acid and nitrogen and their form.
It should remembered that
potash is the most important
of plant food. Tobacco is a
very delicate feeder, and it is ab-
essential that the potash
phosphoric acid, and nitrogen be
furnished. This question involves
in a great measure the profits and
losses in Pennsylvania farming.
A Romantic Marriage.
Concord Times.
Mr. Garrison Bowen, of
Texas, was here last Sunday on
an important and romantic mis-
Mr. Bowen is years old,
but that did not prevent him from
coming all the way from Texas to
get a Cabarrus county woman for
a wife, a woman, too, whom he
had never seen. The bride is Miss
M. A. Coleman, of No. who is
years old. Some of her relatives
in Texas told Mr. Bowen about
her, and suggested that he open a
correspondence with her. This he
did at once, with the above
announced. They had been
responding only about three
months. Last Sunday morning he
arrived in Concord and hunted up
a magistrate at Naturally
enough the man secured to tie the
knot was Esq. Jesse F.
who always likes to officiate on
such occasions, especially when it
is spiced with romance. The
bride and groom will go to their
Texas home in about days.
Mr- Bowen is reported to be a man
of considerable means.
Careful Assorting Pays.
Farmers are often too
about the manner in which they
assort their tobacco. And when
they fail to properly assort they
themselves are the losers- It
never pays to put a cutter leaf in a
heap of fine wrappers. The buyer
is sure to find it It never pays to
put a few leaves of frosted or non-
leaf into a bundle of good
fillers. If you do you are the
loser, the buyer will find it, and
though it may be the only case of
wrong assortment in the whole
pile, yet the buyer thinks the other
way and your tobacco sells far
its value. Take this as a rule,
your tobacco is very likely to sell
for what the poorest sorts of it
show up not the best. If you
assort each grade to itself, in most
cases, the buyer will not have to
re-assort his purchase. This
lows him to pay more for well as-
compose a majority of the employ- j sorted stock. If your leaf is not
m in the cotton mills all over the the buyer must

In 1841 each individual con-

in 1891 he consumed twenty six
ounces. Yet you may almost any

If the Tobacco Ago means that
each individual of the population
would have but ounces credited
to him out of the amount of
co consumed in the United
in 1891, it is woefully mistaken.
The tobacco, snuff, cigars and
cigarettes tax paid the United
States in the fiscal year ending
June 1891, would aggregate
pounds at least, and
on a population of
this would give to each

Then say the actual consumers of
tobacco are per cent of the
population, and it is plain to be
seen that the average

would be about ounces, or
nearly pounds, this is only
of the manufactured article, which
is tax paid.

enormous amount of tobacco is

consumers until the official figures

The men wear skirts and the

their hair long, women coil
theirs in a knot. The dressmakers
are men; the women carry bur-

is not spoken.
Books are read backwards, and
any notes are written at the top.

every shoe is pointed

go about with tho toe crushed in

that will make any shoo ugly.
How much better would it be if
they would only take the pains to
stuff tho toe with cotton, and keep
the leather up smooth and firm; it
is all a mistake to suppose that tho
wrinkled appearance is desirable,

so much shorter than the length
