-"From several prominent far-mers, mn
the city during the past few days, we
a;re ezhd to Jearn,".says the Gr-ecnville
Repulican, "that the wheat crop is
yromising-partiederly in the moun
saiii portion of the county..-wheore the!
plan of early sowing in the fall, and
upon virgin soil, has been successfully
adIopied for the last few years. The
arca sown is, however, entirely too
sul,as nothing will contribute more
io the prosperity of our Piedmont belt
than ineresed culture of this cereal,
.whiich: is easily produced and always
rm;unerative in price; bwsides being
more~ c-onducive to health tan the
co;arser articles of commizon use as alf
:ue-ts, which g'ives coarseniess both to
~-A~rsit.,ai and inteiieetiial development."
A New Pledge.
One fetture of the te-mperanec revi
val is iost et-)'umendab!e. In certhih
places a pledge is n1ow cireulattinL
Am11ongSOung men by which the sipner:
hind tieniselves to refrain froi ask
in ather men to drink. There is
nthi:ii that is more absurd, in itsli
considerd. than. the theory that a
man1 is under obligations to pay for
the drinks consumed by his friends.
No man .thinks of asking a friend out
to take a social pair of bouts or a
frieIdl-y barrel of flour, and yet he is
regZaded as eominitting a breach of
etiquette if he ventures to drink with
out asking a friend to drink with him.
No i'an would feel otherwise than in
F-ulted if an acquaintance asked him
to accet a friendly fifteen cent stamp,
and yet he feels himself insulted if he
is nit asked to drink tifteen cents'
worth of ardent spirits. The exceed
inlr follv of the custom is equaled onilv
by the evil influence which it exerts.
Many a man is forced to drink by one
of a group of acquaintances when he
is not in the least thirsty, and he is
thus in turn compelled to invite them
to drink a second ti'.ne with hin to
the detriment not only of his purse
but of his health. It is not too much
to say thal at least one-half of the ar
dent spirit- consumed in New York
City is drunk by men who do not
want it, but who are compelled by a
stupid and senseless custom both to
drink whin invited to do so and to in
vite others to drink with them who
had much rather not do anything of
the kind.
The pledge against "treatling" ought
to produce good results. It commends
itself to all sensible men, and the fact
of having signed it gives theni a suffi
cient excuse for ceasing to observe a
preposterous custom. The new pledge
ought to be vigorously circulated. and
the more signers that can be obtained
for it the more hope there will be of
putting an end to the folly of social
tippling.
Interviewing a Chinaman.
We asked him if he didn't want
some advertising done. He stopped
work long enough to say that he
charged a dollar a dozen, without
ironing. We explained. that it wasn't
washing we wanted, but advertising.
We told him how much his business
would be inUreased, how he'd be richer
than the king of the sandwich islands
in six wonths if he'd only advertise.
This seemed to be clear to him, and
his face brightened up as he said
"Business belly slow; nobody got no
money." We calmly took out a paper
t that. We c-arefully explained to
him all about fifteen cents a line--one
f these things clear aeross here ev
ry time the paper was printed. The
people, we told him, would read this
and thea come to him for washing.
He took a deep interer, in the whole
tory, and paid marked attention to
ur few remarks.
"You see, Mr. Hong Lee," we said,
thnighe was getting along first
-tinEnglish, "this isapaper-this
ere" (putting a finger on it.) "When
eeple re;;d they rush frantically to
verybody whose name they see in
he pa.per. Do you understand ?"
e said he did, and wanted to know
ow many' pieces we had-whether
hey were big or little. We felt dis
ouraged. We had worked hard for
ml heur already, and he all the time
hinking we wore talking about wash
nug! With an imprecation on the
vwole race we went over the whole
story eg.p even g(.ing so far as to
figure out to i4y I.ow many papers
~e printed and how many We expect
ed to prinf. fle was ag agetion as
efore, but whag we stopped for
reth he spirted water on~ a b.atsh pf
lothe.e through his teeth, and then
said. as coolly'as a inmumy, that itf we
rought the clothes on Monday he
ould have them done Wednesday.

Brandywine, on which, about eleven
miles ab,)ve the city, was fought, the
famuous "battle of the Brandywine"

mington's citizens, who has evidently
been in Europe, "the Clyde of Amer

America," so styled, some very staunch

Dor examples and precepts? Let us ob
serve the yovh of to-day and their
training. 1 know by observation an<d ex
purience. that thirty years argo, the will
of the parent was the will of theyouth,
whether agreeable to his -wishes or not.
If the youth wished to nake a request
of their parents it would be in the po
tential inood, may. or might 1 do, have
or go, as the case might he, referring to
the will of another, with the little word
"please" at the end. Thirty years ago,
11he youth were taught how to work;
uot many. however, learned to love it.
They were taken to church every Sun
day, not to be talking during Divine
ervice. disturbing the minist3r and
those that wisheid to learn. They were
in the Sunday Scljool and never got too
large nor too well informed to quit it.
[lowever, there were but few good lit
ALe bovs and. girls, for the good boys
ind girls died very young. I noticed,
in my school boy days, that whenever
the teacher wold s:iy that this or that
ne was a good little fellow, he would
)e sure to die. I had read in the Bible
.hat "there w :IS none good; no, not one."
1lhese things made me afraid of being
:alled a good little boy. I way fortu
iate enough in that respect to never be
2alled a good little boy; but once my
rather came very near it, he called me
1 good-for-nothing little fellow. I
:hought it was so, as life was a man of
.indoubted veracity; but soon I found
:hat lie had prevaricated a little, for
;wo days afterwards experience taught
me that I was good for something; yes,
[ got it, and it was something boys do
iot get these days. Many of those
ood, old. strict parents have passed
iway and left their sons and daughters,
who thought that they were too strictly
raised, to till their pliaces: and some
are here yet observing how their places
will be filled when they are gone, We

To T m FAMlEIS. -Year.after year,
is we have seen nearly the entire pro
:eedls of the cotton crop are paid to the
unufacturers of the North and the
irers of the West, for supplies
wherewith to carry on tihe faurmu. We
ave counseled and advised thait (aur

~orn, wheat and por-k which is abso
utely requisite to mzanaige the planta
ation ; we believe their crops should
s divided. if a farmer puts his
vhole crop in3 cotton, as many have
loue, and the price drops to ten cents
>:r pound. lie cannot realize sufficient
: meet the actual exp~enses of g.rowing
he same imore especially when the
Irice of pork and grain is at a high
gure. If the farmer would divide
s crop so -:s to grow all the grain re
~uied for home consumption, he
voti be much inore sure of realizing
handsome profit upon the business
>f the year. In additio:i to a division
>f erops, our f'arwuers should see to it
bt work shops of various kiads are
stblishied within our own towns and
ities for the inanufacture of cloth,
ouse-keeping articles, farming uten
lis, &c., &c. This would not only
teep much of our money at home but
yod bring sliilled meehainic to our
4idst, and thus ea'ete a better msarket

seious subject for our farmers and

If in this liberal age there are persons to
be found who are so blinded by prejudice as
not to believe that a medicated stimulant is
an i:em of immense importance in the cata
logue of humnan remedies. we should like
them lo wimness the wonderful effects which
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are now produc
ing all over the country in cases of intermit
tent fever, rheumatism, billieus disonlers,
dyspepsia, nervous complaints, constitution
al debility, mental depression and premature
decay. To be sure these effects are nothing
new. The great vegetable invigorant and its
cures have been before the people for more
than twenty-five years. and in every year of
the twenty-tive its popularity has increased
Iand its sales blar'e become larger. Yet there
are no doubt many :housad% of intelligent
citizens who have never had art opportunity
of observing for thetmselves the surprising
changes which this unequaled tonic and al
t ertive prodnees in systems wvhich seem to
be hopelessly broken, ani in cases of disease
which are to' amenable to ordinary reme
dies. I'iob.:bly many of these regard the
staitemenlt, made in relation to the sanitary
properties of the Bitters with some degree of
incre:ltu!ity'. Would that all such skeptics
could see with their own eyes what the
medicinme is doing for the sick and feeble
every where, what a staff of lire it is proving
to the aged and inifirmn, what a help in time
of trouble to feeble women suffering from
the comiplaints and dikabiiities peculiar to
the sex, what a protection to health and life
m i mahatiot;s districts, wvhat a panticea for all
laniguor or depression, what a specific for nal
disea.ses in which the system requ.ires to be
vitulized and su"tained. Of aill stimulants it
is the pnrett an'I safest, of all tonics the
most genial, effective and agreeable, of a-l
lteratives the leaist violent an~d the most cer
tain in its beneficial results.

Iis N%ot Generally Known
That the shmortest possIble route between
the Soutra an'd Great West is through St.

Northern Short Line. Thmis road has gained
surprising imaportne hy reatson of immense
expenditures in the la.,t two years, of over
two million dollars, besides earnings, in im

tlan any other road, andi connects with all
