silver coined under an unlimited
free coinage bill, they won't have
any more silver coined at all. If
they get a free trade meas-
they won't have any tariff re-
at all. They bitterly
oppose tho theory that a half loaf
is better than no broad and hold
the contrary of this proposition-
It is better, in their judgment, to
go hungry than to have any less
bread than all you want. Their
resolutions, published last week,
are something of a curiosity.
The desire for a bill providing
for the free coinage of silver is,
presumably, based upon a de-
sire to see more silver coined and
put into circulation. If a bill
were passed which for eight years
kept the mints running at high
pressure, turning out silver
at the ratio of to by the
thousands and the millions, it
looks as if that, bill would

ends that could be attained by an

dell County Alliance doesn't want
the mints to coin silver for eight
years unless they are going to
coin it indefinitely. The seignior-

they are opposed to the Wilson

If you were riding on a railroad

TO THE BOYS.
Remember, boys, that you have
to work, whether you handle a
pick or pen, a wheelbarrow or a
set f digging ditches or
editing a paper, you must work.
If you look around, you will see
that the men who are most able to
live the rest of their days without
work are the men who work the
hardest. Don't be afraid of till-
yourself with work- It is be-
your power to do that. Men
cannot work so hard as that on
the side of They die
sometimes but it is because they
quite work at and don't get home
until a. in- It's the interval that
kills. Work gives an appetite for
meals; it lends solidity to your
slumbers, it gives the appetite
appreciation of a holiday.
There are young men who do not
work, but the world is not proud
of them. It does not know even
their names, it simply of
them as old so and boys-
Nobody likes them, nobody hates
them, the great busy world
even know that they are there.
So find out what you want to be
and do, take off coat and
make a dust in the world. The
busier you are the less mischief
you will get into, the sweeter will
be sleep, the brighter and
happier your holidays, and the
better satisfied will the world be
with you.

like occurred in various portions
of the north west, it was,
taken as a whole, a month of much
worse weather and more stormy
than usual. And Rev. B.
Hicks, publisher of Word and
Works, St. Louis, in his forecasts
for March, predicts that the com-
month will be even more
severe than the past with storms
more frequent, and advises that
proper preparation be made for
sudden and extreme cold. He
makes the storm periods of the
month about the 3rd, 7th,
14th to 17th and 25th to 28th.
He says on the 20th,
21st and 22nd we have the full
moon with partial eclipse of same,

Earth, Venus, Vulcan's re-
disturbances, the

centering of so many disturbing
forces, right at the Vernal
shall have neutralizing,
effects that we do not now
foresee or much
lent phenomena is sure to result.
Expect cyclonic storms of great
extent, resulting in
along the southern tangents,
and blizzards to the north, all to
be followed by a general cold
wave that will be felt to the coasts
of We do not know
just how much stress to lay upon
what Mr. Hicks says, as no one
can foretell exactly how the
is going to be, or just what
will occur, but of his
dictions in the past have been
wonderfully accurate and come
nearer to being correct than the
observations of any one profess-
to make any study of the
So much nearer than others
does he come to the truth in his
predictions and warnings that he
is being considered authority on
them. His caper furnishes very
interesting reading.

Last week the President for the
third time, made a nomination to
till the position of Associate Judge
of the Supremo Court of the
United States. The first
was Mr- Hornblower of New
York, and the Senate sat down on
him. the second was Mr-
of New York, and the Senate
again sat down on him ; the third
time Senator Edward D. White,
was sent to the Sen-
ate and within an hour the Senate
had confirmed him and the Pres-
dent had signed his commission.
This relieves the strain and
give satisfaction to the entire
South- It gets a member of tho
Supreme Court, the only one
since the death of the able
lamented Justice Lamar. It is

nomination was unexpected to

Washington D- C, Feb 1894-
It pleasant, but
it is true, that the signs
of the Senators
ting on the tariff bill
are not as promising as they
were. They all agree that we
must have reform, but a
of them have ideas which they
have so far refused to be argued
out of as to what constitutes tariff
reform. It is this, and not the
interference of President Cleve-
land, which has prevented the
reporting of the bill to the
committee. It would be
useless to get the bill before the
Senate knowing that enough

against it to make a majority with

at the delay should remember

may, unless the Democrats vote
together, hold the balance of

to the Democratic Senators is
absolutely false. He has no

the bill, and that is a desire that

THE PEANUT INDUSTRY.
The following article by Judge
Walter Clark of the Supreme
Court in the last issue of the
North Carolina Agricultural
is of
Edward Atkinson, the well
known economist, has recently
written an admirable article,
pointing out tho uses of the pea-
nut, especially as a producer of
oil. He it was who, years ago,
pointed out the value of cotton
seed for its oil its
and feed qualities, as cotton seed
meal, tho value of the hulls.
Prior to this, on many farms cot-
ton seed was disposed of as waste-
Now Mr. Atkinson predicts the
future usefulness of the peanut
as an oil producer other
ways.
But before we go into its pro-
extensively, attention
should called to the syndicate
which controls the sale of the
nuts, making its members million-
and the producers paupers.
The number of peanut buyers is
small. These have formed a
trust or syndicate- By this com-
it is decreed that
is not salable, and
all peanuts before becoming mar-
must go through what
they are pleased to dignify with
tho name of peanut
Ry another one of their rules no
factory will take the nuts on toll,
but they must be sold to the
owner of the factory. This do-
livers tho farmer alive into their
hands.
The peanuts are sold the
market at a price fixed Dy the
syndicate, which is at present
about two cents per pound. They
are run thought the at
a total cost of one fifth of a cent
per pound and are then sold to
tho retail merchant by wholesale
at four to seven cents per pound,
according to locality. The pro
fits being pooled are presumably
divided. No wonder the farmers
find no profit making peanuts
and that the factory owners are
becoming Farmers
generally raise small crops of
peanuts, and each not feeling
largely interested, as a class they
are ignorant of the gross
practiced upon them this
as in some other matters.
posed upon by the word
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 pour-
ed into a revolving cylinder
which polishes them and blows
out the pops and dirt- As they
come out they fall upon a broad,
endless belt which carries them
along to be bagged. Negroes
stand on each side of this moving
belt and with paddle deftly sort
the peanuts. They are then
double the price paid the farmer.
The process of thus preparing
costs not more than one fifth
of a cent
It was also thought that the
process was not only mysterious
and required we see
is not that the machinery
was expensive. But it is said by
those who know that the ma-
of one of those so-called
will not cost more
than to and that the
whole plant, machinery
building,
should not cost over or
It was also urged that there
was a patent on the machinery.
A party who was bold enough to
defy this claim and establish his
own factory demonstrated by suit
in court that there was no patent
and thereupon it is said the syn-
took him in and ho is now
one of the oppressors, and fast
becoming a millionaire.
As a last resort, to discourage
putting up factories it is given
out that large capital is required
to establish a and pat it
on the market. On the contrary,
the writer has recently had
with numerous deal
from San Francisco to Boston,
and from New Orleans to
and readily had offers varying
from four and one-half to seven
for nuts, without any
as to brand. The only re-
was that they should
be sound and stock.
The syndicate have educated the
public to require the latter, as it
places the trade in their hands.
If the farmers generally knew
the above facts, they could readily
emancipate themselves from sell-
at two cents per pound pea-
nuts which with the addition of
one fifth of a cent work,
are sold at four to seven by
each neighborhood putting up a
factory, or by some one putting it
up to run for toll. But these facts
have been persistently suppress-
ed. Where at very rare intervals
a factory, out of the seaport town,
has been put it is said that it
ways mysteriously and suddenly
stops. Those who know say that
this is done by the syndicate pay-
the owners of the new factory
a sum equal to the estimated
profit of the tolls which would be
likely to come in if the factory
was run. Fortunately, there is
no internal revenue tax on factory
peanuts, as on manufactured to-
by which the syndicate
keep a monopoly.
This is one of the many ways in
which the farming class is pluck-
ed. Will not farmers who are
interested in peanut raising look
into this matter and each neigh-
provide itself with a
for next season at which pea-
nuts may be prepared for market

Organizing.
The Third party leaders of this
county held a meeting here last
Thursday to organize and get
everything in readiness for this
year's campaign. The attendance
at the meeting, all told, was
twenty-nine, and of this number
twelve were of Greenville town-
ship and seventeen from all the
balance of the county. Four
townships had no representatives
present. Of course this meeting
and its proceedings were secret.
Away Last week.
Mr. O- L. Joyner, who edits
the Tobacco Department of the
Reflector, was absent at the
fair last week, hence
does not entertain our readers
this week with his usual good
articles. It is his purpose to fully
make up the loss with the excel-
of his department next week.
We will say here that if everybody
interested in this tobacco market
was doing as much for its
cement as Mr. Joyner has done
and is doing, you would see
Greenville grow and prosper as
the old town never has prospered
before.

the Post, be very
took in a few friends with whom
he sat one evening in a friendly
game of draw. The governor and a
party of ladies and gentlemen were
being entertained at an evening tea,
and, after the menu had been dis-
cussed, the gentlemen withdrew to
the library, where cards and chips
of the kind ever brought to the
city. Some time two were
obtained for Golden Gate pork, but
one has since died.
The animals were bought by the
government H. Bruce, in Si-
The purpose of the purchase
is to introduce the reindeer in Alas-
where they will be used instead
of dogs. It is impossible to use
horses, and dogs do not serve the
purpose as well as they might
Some time ago there was a season
of the distress among the
in The report
of it led to a congressional
and the appropriation of
thousand dollars, part of which
was to buy reindeer in Siberia and
have them brought to Alaska. An
agent was dispatched to Siberia, and
his first consignment was stationed
in a lot adjacent to the Lick paths.
The greatest difficulty yeas ex-
in getting the animals
here. Several died on the way and
there are but six remaining.
The animals will be used to great
advantage at the north. They are
small, but swift and powerful. In
Siberia they cost five dollars apiece.
The natives have a peculiar way of
harnessing and driving the animals.
The harness is simply a band over
the shoulders and bet ween the legs.
The deer is fastened to the center
and left of the sled, but not to the
right. It is steered by the horns
and covers the ground as rapidly s
a good horse.
A BAD HALF HOUR.
He Got Away, But the Beauty cf That
Chair Was Ruined.
At the home of a popular girl in
this city a most uncomfortable half
Hour was recently spent by a modest
youth who had called to see her. The
youth is noted for both bashfulness
and nervousness.
The night in question he went
with a friend to the girl's house. He
took a comfortable seat in a large
armchair, and, as was his habit,
began to nervously poke his fingers
into cracks and holes in the
mental parts of the chair. He shoved
finger into a hole in this manner,
but to his dismay, that his
knuckle positively refused to come
back through the hole.
The more the worked to
release his finger the harder it was,
as the finger became swollen. The
youth was too bashful to mention the
ridiculous predicament into which
he had gotten himself, but bore th
pain in silence. He suffered untold
agony for fear his friend would go
before he released his finger.
Finally the hostess noticed his
parent uneasiness. The youth, with
many blushes, then told the cause.
It was not until half an hour later
that the bashful youth and the chair
parted company. The but finally
succeeded in releasing the finger
with the aid of a hatchet and chisel,

Maternal Devotion.
In the western part of
setts, says the Churchman, a fire re-
destroyed a fine barn on a
stock farm, and a number of blooded
horses and cows perished in the
flames.
Soon after the fire the owner,
walking over the ruins, came upon
an object which touched him more
than the sight of the charred bodies
of his horses and Jerseys.
There sat an old black hen. He
wondered that she did not move her
head to look at him as he came near
her, but he thought she must be
asleep. He poked her with his cane,
and to his surprise the wing which he
touched fell into ashes. Then he
knew that she had been burned to
death.
But out from under her came a
faint little peep, and pushing her
aside with his cane, the man found
ten live yellow chickens. The hen had
sacrificed her own life to save them.
A Giantess.
Gurley, in the Point Rock valley,
North Alabama, has a prodigy in the
shape of a nine-year-old white child.
Her name is Lizzie Beale, and her
parents arc among the best people in
Jackson county. She weighs one
and ninety-two pounds and is
possessed of enormous strength. She
can with the greatest ease lift and
off an anvil weighing two
and twenty-five pounds and
ran carry off a big man who could
scarcely lift her from the ground.
Her hair is very long, and she has
regular, beautiful features.
An Island Missing.
American ship Daniel Barnes,
from, Buena, Chili, reports
the total disappearance of an island
in the South Pacific ocean.
Capt. says, he passed
over the exact spot where
island is laid down on the chart. He
had men aloft looking for land, and,
although it was daylight and per-
clear, he says that nothing
could be seen of it The island was
forty feet high, three-fourths
of a mile in diameter, and In
degrees minute west,
degrees minutes south.
It is thought that some volcanic
disturbance on the mainland caused
the island to
American.
Gov. Lowrey said he knew nothing
about the game, so, while his friends
tried their luck, the southern exec-
remained in the parlor en-
the ladies. Later in the
evening the governor drifted to the
and was prevailed upon
to play the hand of one of the gen-
for a few minutes. As soon
as the governor sat down he re-
minded his friends again that he
knew nothing about the game.
There was a jackpot on the table
which had gone around several times.
Hands were dealt, the pot was
opened and play passed around to
the governor. He didn't seem to
know whether to pass or not. He
studied his for several minutes,
then, showing a card, asked the man
next to him whether it was a king
or a jack.
a king, replied
the gentleman.
Then the governor produced a
queen and take it that

was informed that he was, and then
very deliberately putting his
money he called for one card.
The gentleman who had opened
the pot had three nines failed to
better his hand on the draw. v He
thought he had a lead-pipe cinch on
the pot and sized up the governor as
having two and queens.
He thought the governor had found
cards like the king and queen he
had shown and was drawing for a
full.
He was somewhat taken back
when the governor raised the bet,

RODE IN A CATTLE CAR.
A Who Succeeded in Earning
His Free Passage.
The other morning when the
freight train from the east
a man emerged from a car leaded
with long-horned steers, says the
Gazette. He said that
when endeavoring to secure free pas-
sage on the cattle train leaving Win-
the night before, one of the
railroad boys said he would let him
into a cattle car where he could ride
as long as he wanted to keep com-
with the steers. To the
prise of the railroad man the offer
was accepted and the tramp jumped
in. He says he rode the greater
part of the one seventy-
fire miles between and
Reno astride one of the animals, and
when he got cold or tired of that
he stood in among them, where
be found it quite warm and comfort-
able, and would have continued on
bis journey westward had it not been
tor hunger and the absence of any
milch cows in the cars, so he got off
to rustle a little grub.
The railroad men in Reno say that
brake-beam and blind-baggage tour-
are quite common, but they
never before heard of one beating his
way on the back of a steer.

spats, of course, but never any out-

have one. It's no need telling what
it was about. It began shortly after

but in half an hour were saying per-

went from bad to worse,
and finally, about Jack got up,
that was going down-town
; that he didn't care whether he
ever came back or not. I told him t hat
wasn't particular, either, and he
banged out into the hall, threw his
overcoat around him and grabbed
up the first hat he could find. Then
he came back into the parlor and I

Jack has never gone away
from the house without kissing me

door, waiting to see what he would
do. I vowed mentally that if he
didn't try to make up before he went,
away I would go straight home to
mother and never come back again.
I wanted to cry, but wouldn't give
in. and kept saying mean things to
Jack, and he, enraged beyond en-

his feet struck where that
burned spot is. Somebody had
dropped a parlor match there and of
course his stepping on it lighted it.
It cracked loudly and Jack gave a
little start of surprise and the most
ludicrous look of fright came over

laughed. And the next thing I knew

the carpet burn until it burned out.
And that's the reason why I am so
thankful that the parlor match hap-
