C. ?As I have had an opportunity to si.-e | more and learn more of"this' mo an (am i country daring my six weeks stay, ! I can't refrain from writing yoa something more about it. I am more favorably impressed every dav I stay, and see what an advantage a grain country has over a cotton country. Firtt, wi!I say all country schools opened here about the middle of August. Why are the county schools , . here so far afoad of those in South ! Carolina? The school here at Demo-1 crat hai now one hundred and fifty students, with three good teachers, and lour miles beyond on the same road, -at Morris Hill, (a pretty little town) they have a line college with about two hundred students, with a number ot gooa teacners, ana just eight miles from Democrat, towards Asheville, at VVeaverville, another fine college, with very large attendance, and still another handsome school building going up at Morgan Hill, only four miles from this place. The children jast come swarming out of the mountains and aro well advanced : in English as well as other languages. Now as to crops. I haven't seen a stalk of cotton since I crossed theT Bias JRiclge, and would be glad never to see one again. Some years ago Lho j people here raised a great deal of \1 tobacco, but when the price wentj do-,vu they quit raising it, tha- i3 on i1 a large scale. I can see old tobacco j' I barns on every nand. I heard ?n oh' j1 citizen ?ay that he had often got four j' hundred dollars for one acre of to- I j bacco, aod when it got down to one j ^ hundred and fifty per acre lis quit ir. j They can now as much as one j' hundred per acre for it. Jus; think i how many acros of cotton it takes so i orjng iliat much money. Sill wej c.ut'i give up cotton. I <}j believe our; pz-'.'pio would plant it at 2 cents per pound, fur I remember when *e thought we could not mak? anyt ling ] at 8 cents cotton. . What are the-i .rmers of South Carolina to do? Our lands are not productive cnoau for all corn and wheat. II?re they do not use any fer.iiizer, ai.d the corn j i grows almost without work; that is, j 1 have seen tome line ileus or cornjj :hat was jnst plowed and hoed once; < and the thinnest laud Ihey Lave will j bring 30 bnshels per acre, and the ; finest over one hundred?that is on < river bottoms. This -land. cau?t be '< bought for less than $100 per -aire. ( Tbey make about SO bushels wheat-fl per acre. ^??~~ < I wilj. {eU-ytriTof a farm near here i "Trtitcb is a fair sample of the rrgt, i This farm has about .165 acres, about i one half cleared and in cultivation, i All the work is done by two horses. 1 Last year there was made on it 30 barns of tobacco, 1,000 bushels of ] corn, 200 bushels of wheat, and rome. t clover, don't know how much, and j then the truck patches. The 1,000 < bushels of corn wa3 raised oa 10 ] acres. Has a house that cost $2,600; < would cost about four thousand in < South Carolina. People generally own small farms and keep it rich by putting it in clover every few years. Unimproved land can be bought cheap. The largest farm I have seen, owned by one man, was 700 acres, and he1 was considered rich, or well off; had about $50,000 in bank and owned a great deal of town and city property. A great many northern families have bought laud and settled in Buncombe County, and they will stir any people to better their condition They have so much "get up" in them, and are more economizing in little things than our people, and"that is the secret of success. I found out, too, wiiy j they have sich fine slock here Tbo j white man feeds and waters his own stock, or has it (lone by a whi:e hand,! aud thev drive their own teams. Of I ihe hundreds of wagon? I have seen j pass all were driven by a white man j with the exception of about half I dozen. No man is too rich, too well! educated or refined to drive bis pretty team to market, or to sell what be hauls, even a load of vegetables or chickcns. If on every public road leading to Asheviile there is as much country produce hauled as on this, I ">' lirtrrr ihov CAII if - hnf. nne i KJ'll 1 L UV ?* unv; , _ thing ihey have, a farmer's warehouse where everything is taken, and there ' are any number of buyera always j there to buy and ship.

Neither Poe nor any ot his imitators, from Gaborian to Conan 1 Doyle, bas been able to fabiica:e any- J IbiDg to compare with it. A girl's mutilated body was found in the water. Two men jast at that time were anxiously .cearching each * for amlsiing daughter. Both examined the murdered girl's head minutely. Each swore positively that it was the head of his missing 1 daughter. 1 O-ic of them, th: father of missing Mmioti Grace Perkins, not only recognized a nhotceranh of the dead girl's head, but described a minute mark that would be found over the right eye if the corpse v/as really that of his daughter. iNoboa; bad observed any sncb mark, bnt upon examination it was found precisely where he bad said. The body was delivered to Mr. Perkins, who started home with it for burial. , Then Marion Grace Perkins arrived at home alive and well, passing ou the t' way from the station the open grave V thai had been prepared i receive her jo and meeting at her la:h r's door the b< undertaker's wa?ou. T The missuig daughter of the other idsntiil r bas also turned up in full E 7i?or of life. ! ^ The annals of the law are lull of I Jlrange cft?es of mistaken ideality. ?
