We frequently hear farmers say that if tobacco should go down in price to 6 or 7 cents per pound they would be forced to go back into the cultivation of cotton or some other crop and leave off tobacco entirely. Now while we are not an advocate of growii.g large crops of poor tobacco, but rather small crops of superior quality, yet let’s look at the tween tobacco and cotton—tokacco at 7 cents ard cotton at 7 cents. We have consulted a number of prac- tical farmers and they say they can grow and house an acre of tobacco for from $25 to $35.00. Now on en average say it costs $30.00 an acre to grow and save it,and on this acre you get from 500 to 1000 pounds, say on average of only 600 pounds and it will average that the county over. You sell this 600 pounds of tobacco at 7 cts: apo und and realize $42 for the acre: Now as we have taken 2 minimum av. erage on the acre of tobacco we will ap- ply the same rule to the acre of cotton. We will assume that the cotton land of Pitt county will average a half bale to the acre or 225 pounds of cotton which fat 7 cts. a pound is $15.75. So you can plainly see that the profit on an acre of tobacco above all actual expense and cost is nearly equal to the entire gross amount of an acre in cotton. As to the cost of growing and saving un acre or cotton we have not consider- ed that at all. We shall leave the reader to make his own calculation. Every year since Greenville has had a market the entire sales averaged, including scrap, have over 10 cents a pound. Now when we con- sider that the average cost of handling an acre of tobacco is $30 and that the average weight is 600 pounds and that the « verage price has been say only 10 cents, you see that on an average the farmers of Pitt county have realized a net profit of at least $30 for every acre of — tobacco the county. Of course every man that bas planted tobacco has not made money out of it. Some have lost heavily, but more have lost as they would have done had the county been grown in upon a single cotton basis. There are as a matter of course exceptions to thee figures, for instance we know of several farmers who say that to grow ant handle an acre of tobacco cost them every ceut of $40. There are others who even say it costs more than that figure. This ot, course depends upon the amount of fertilizer used and usually it is the man Who uses heavy applications of manure that gets the most money out of tobacco while we believe that too much fertilizer is fre- quently used and as this item is one. of the vhief sources of expense it is one in the use of which great care, and judg- ‘thént should be used ia order to get the most satisfactory results, detect sory figures and make some comparisons be-| The principal work He the St. Loui | : r| Convention to-day was, the adoption of | platform, ‘There was much diseus- ; sion over cig Gonbeidl plank. ee en tt na om ee ee We show the grandest assortment of Fancy Cheviot Business Suits ever brought to Green~ ville. terns and fabrics in ultra fashionable styles.

A large movement of population from the North and West. and of. the better classes of German, Scandinavian and British farmers to the South would be of incaleulabie value to this section. It would stimulate the whole South, wonderfully . augment the “growth of manufactures, enhance the value of all agricultural land and of allcity property increase the money-making opportuni- ties of every man, woman and child in the South, bring about better education- al facilivies, secure the construction of, better roads, forever settle all possible race questions, and give to this section a prosperity as much greater then that of the North and West as the natural advantages of the former exceed those of the latter. It isthe duty of every nan and woman interested in the South to bend their best energies to this great question. It demacds the untiring work, the most liberal financial aid and the daily thought of everyone who de- sires to see the South enjoy the bless- ings that -would come from an . ever increasing southward movement of population, The Manufacturers’ Rec- ord, devoted to the industrial interests of this section, and reaching the man- ufactuers of the North and West, and the “Southern States” magazine, pub- lished by it, devoted wholly to its im- migration and, -agricultural interests, and reaching thousands of prospective settlers, land buyers and immigrauon agents in the North and West, will press industrial and immigration mat- ters upon the world’s attention more vigorously and on a_ broader even than in the past.

SMITHFIELD HAMS: How These Famous Virginia Hams are Cured. The following formula is unquestion- ably the receipe for curing hams which have given the town of Smithfield, Vir- ginia, an international and enviable rep- utation. Experts, who have read it carefully, have declared that itis precisely as Mr. Mr. E. M. Todd, of Wight county, treats his hams, that find a ready market at an advanced price. The following is the receipt, which must be closely tollowed to attain the same result as Mr. ‘Todd: 1. The hams are placed in a large tray of fine Liverpool salt, and the flesh surface is sprinkled with finely ground crude saltpetet until the hams are as white as. though covered with a moder- ate frost—or use three or four pounds and pounds of green hams. 2. Afterapplying the saltpeter imme- diately salt with the Liverpool fine salt covering well the entire surface. Now pack the hams in bulk, but not in piles more than three feet high. In ordinary weather the hams should remain thus for three days. 3. Then break and re-salt with fine galt. ‘The hams thus salted should re- main in salt one day for cach pound exch ham weighs. 4, Next you wash with tepid water until the hams are thoroughly cleaned, and after partially drying rub the entire surface with finely ground blackpepper. 5, Now the hams should be hung in 5 The Big Mili Fauure in Georgia. The Eagle & Phenix mills, at Col. abla, Ga., went into the hands of receivers inst Saturday. The indebt- edness of the mills is $1,121,000.. It is the largest manufacturing enterprise in the South and its weekly pay roll to hands is $5,500. When Sherman passed through Georgia.on his march to the sea he applied the torch to this property and left it in ruins, When the war closed the owners deeided to re- build, and instead of one mill they put up two, and since then the property has been known as the Eagle & Phe. nix mills, The petition for the receivers re- cites the tact that on Feb. 17, 1873, the Eagle & Phenix Manufacturing Com- pany was granted permission by the legislatue to operate a savings bank in connection with their other business, and began operating accordingly. More than $1,000,000 was deposited in this department and among the depositors It iz alleged that none of this, money was used for were the petitioners. luan purposes as is usual with savings banks, but that it all went to build ad- ditional mills and increase the facilities of the Eagie & Phwnix company. On Feh. 14, 1891, the savings bank de- partment was abolished or discontinued, At that time bonds were issued to pay the depositors. The petitioners wanted money when it was due, and demanding it, failed to get it. Told of Daniel Webster.

A Where it is Really Cold. Cold is merely arelative term. The resident of semi-tropical countries shiv- ers when the thermometer falls to 30 degrees, while the Laplander and Es- quimau think it is comfortable at zero. For real cold and plenty of it, ene must go to the Polar regions. Think of living where the mercury goes dow: to 35 degrees below zero in the house, iu spite of the stove. Of course, in such a case, fur garments are piled on until a man looks like a great bundle of skins. Dr. Moss of the polar expedition of 1875-’76, among other odd things tells of the effect of cold on a wax candle which he burned there. The tempera- ture was 35 degrees below zero, and the doctor must have been considerably discouraged when, upon looking at his candle, he discovered that the’ flame had all it could do to keep warm. It was so cold that the flame could not melt all. the wax of the candle, but was forced to cut its way down, leaving a sort of skeleton of the candle stand. ing. melt oddly-shapped holes in the thin walls of wax; and the result was a beautiful lace like cylinder of white, with a tongue of yellow flame burning % linside it, and. sending out, into the ry s pertaining to > ah \ darkness many streaks of light.—Popu- recommend legislation Jar Science News, ° There was heat, enough, however, to | bler yelled at Webster, asking how much he’d charge to haul him out and carry him over the mud.

Character Revealed by the Forma- 7 tion of the Ivories. — Large Teeth Indicate a Broad Tempera- ment and Small Ones Show a Mentality of the Minute Order—An In- teresting Study. | Have you ever thought that you may _ ;tell.a person’s character long after his death, when his body has decayed and there is nothing left but a few bones? Probably you have not, but it is quite possible, for character may be judged by the teeth. in one important respect, character reading by means of the teeth is more reliable than that by means of the hands, lips, nose, eyes, feet or other parts of the body, valuable as they may Seem in some particulars. Jt has been 'said that a man’s mode of inner life, the working of his conscien ve, will leave scme visible trace, some riuterial in- ‘fluence on lis general appentuace, thus, lin a mc usure, thwarting oo. vriginal design of vature.

But the teeth are. exceptional. No habit of thought will bave uny influence whatever in their shape and character. As far as concerns them Mrs. Nature has laid her plans with a determination that they shall not be modified. Phrenologists have not agreed upon ‘any stated set of rules for judging a | person’s character from an inspection ‘of his teeth. The best that they pretend ito do is to arrive at a general estimate. This is not as satisfactory from the point of view of completeness and minuteness as the methods of reading tharacter by means of other parts of ithe body; but it has its advantages in its increased reliability. By a careful examination of the teeth it may be definitely announced whether or nota person is a coward or high-spirited, weak or strong-minded, slovenly or punctilious. This determination will reveal the character as it was at birth— the native character. There are thou- sands of cases where individuals have “lived down nature,” so to speak, dnd have evolved an artificial character of one sort from a natural character of the opposite sort. This, provided the change has been from a poorer to a better character, is highly commend- able, and is a strong argument against the doctrine that has recently been P| promulgated, to the effect that mast criminals should be excused because they were born with criminal instincts, and couldn't help it. eAnd yet, after all, when you are deal- ing with a man you will be better sat- isfied to know his real, than his artificial | character, and 80 you may know it only yy an examination of his teeth. This examination will usually have to be couducted covertly, as it is not likely that the general run ef persons whom you meet will lend themselves to a minute investigation of their dental arrangement. You may start out with the general smallness, and big teeth mean bigness. It makes not much difference to what qualities you apply these terms.
