CLARA BARTON'S SCHEME
To Transport Western Wheat to the
Starving in Russia.
..Washisgtos. D. C\. [Special.]? No J
| arrangements has as jet been made for |
j the transportation to Russia of grain
I gathered by ihe State of Iowa, under the
auspicies of Miss Clara Bartofo, Piesi
deut of tbc Red Cross Society. The !
I Russian government has signified its wil- |
j lingne^s to transport the grain and flour j
; from Iowa. Minnesota and other States
i on their merchant marine vessels, if this ;
government finds itself unable to volun- !
tariiy tender the use of its ships.
Senator Allison, the representative of ;
Iowa in this matter, has so far made no I
request of the Secretary of r he Navy for
the designation of any ship. Senator
Washburn ha# done so. however, u* the j
I representative of the Minnessota millers, j
| and if Seer tary Tracy does not tend' r 1
| the use of a naval vessel It is proba- j
bic that the grain will \ e transported in
Russian crafts. The executive commute
appointed under the proclamation of the
Governor of Iowa, calling for the relief
of Russian sufferers, which includes in
its membership four ex-Governors of
Iowa, had a meeting in Des Moines, to
! devise ways and means for the transpor- ;
| tation vf wheat, corn, oats, rye and flour j
' donated by the res'dents of Iowa.
No reply has been received u\ response I
to a telegram from Miss Birt^n, as to the i
resuit of the meeting. It is probable, j
however, that the committee will av*il
itseif of the invitatiou extended by the
Secretary to superintend the transporta
, tion of supplies from New York. Ship
ments fr^m Iowa, bowevtr, will not be
gitt till the vessel which will take the
supp ies his been settled and the date of
iu departure fixed. Miss Barton thinks
il probable that the President will select
rhe Scoll ship. Constellation, which
? was suggested by Senator Washburn to
Secretary Tracy, and which performed
i the simiiar service during the la^t Irish
famine, as the most available vessel to
transport tha c?rgo of flour donated by
the millers. Its subscriptions are still
being received for this purpose. Ir w
likely, therefore, that no definite action
will be taken in the premises until Con
gress convener Miss Barton, in response
to requests frow various sections ? f the
country, has issued a call and is receiv
ing numerous individual contributions of
me dollar for the relief of the Russian
j?ea*ants This money will l>c used by the
Red Cross Society though Miss Barton, for
-~x~' "M?M^rpuse it may be deemed ex
pedient- Alt contributions should be
addressed :

! GREAT SOUTHERN FARMS ,
I
Or Observations and Studies in Sac- ?
cessful Agriculture.
The Constitution Gives a Sketch of
Nathan H. Gwyn, Caldwell Coun
ty, North Carolina.
by sr. v. MOORE.
Who is there in all our southland that ;
has never heard of the famous "Happy
Valley" of the Yadkm river.
This region has boen the buth place or ;
former home of many people -Jvho have j
become famous either as farmers, or j
statesmen, or patrio s, or great men oth
erwise ? the country over. T"he;r chil- ?
dren. or their children's children, or re- I
1 moter progeny, have doubtless kept the
! name and the an< ient associations fresh j
and green even ?n other mcmorj^. The ;
upper Yadkin valley- a farm on which j
h to be the sub pet of this article ? w*s
noted -even in the old colonial days and ,
in the later revolutionary era. One of
the old revolutionary heroes? General j
Lenoir, of a Huguenot family now scat
tercd and distinguished all over the j
i south? a Virginia Frenchman, settled at (
the outpost of civilization guarding the 1
I frontier there. He or h:s predecessors !
i built protecting walls of huge oaken logs j
j on a beautiful eminence overlooking the
valley of the rippling rivtr for miles. !
j They" callei the spot -Fo.t Defiance."' |
j From its secure ramparts ihe early set
tlers defied the daring savages who had i
their hunting grounds and rna:ze fields j
both above and below, the same valley i
! w;i5j the home and early hunting ground
of Daniel Bo >n?, who carried happy
memories o? the land to t iie dark and
blood v groun is of Kentucky. and iato
the blacker plains of Missouri beyond.
I The name "Yadkin" is not Indian, as
j many have supposed ; the word is a cor- |
I ruptfeu of the old English appellation
Atkin ? for the beautiful stream was once I
known as At kin's river? so-called from
the first Englishman who settled on its
banks near Salisbury. Tht ancient or j
prehistoric Indian title was Sapona or j
See-po-nce. the meaning of which is now
simply. a matter of poetic fancy.
For neirlv a hundred years the best of
these Yadkin valley lauds were owned
and operated by noble families, repre
senting, in a happy blending of charac
teristics, English aristocracy and Amer- ,
ican democracy. Tne men were courtly
and dignified. yet they kept open house j
and hand. The humblest citizen could
! obtain their greeting, or become their '
guest. Th<? women were h gh born
dames of wit and i.race and beauty. The j
landlords had not yet liecgme gold- j
| greedy; th^-y had tii-ir soils t;!:ed sitnply
that they might live generously :.t home, }
and send their sons -in- style to distaat
universities of high fame. "With all I
tlvrir beoad acres and abundant free slave
labor, none of them ever amassed for- .
! tunes, as we know foituaes today. But j
-thfv lived li old ;ime princes? as old
time princes they Were. They had the
fat of the land; their fields teemed with
the richest of golden harvests; and they
never dreamed of liens, nor of commer
cial fertilizers. 4ior of pay -^iay for work
bands, nor of the exhaustion of soils. If i
a money crisis came, all that was neces
sary was to sell the trifl ingest nigger on
the place- -who could easily ix? spare! ?
and then things went on tasy. The J
families drove In carriages of stately pro
portion and finish to famous watering
places, and displayed dignity and cour
tesv. and also generous hearts, that ueat
over lace and linea frill*, and beneath
high stiff co'brs and buckrain stocks
Th? n?en had buff vests around their
ample waists, and gold dollars in the;r |
ample buckskin or silk parses? That old
fashioned purse, with its tslit and >wo
rinsr5 iu the middle and rich tassels at
the ecfcfs. !
Oh, mv! how I do love to revel in
these dreams and uiemor es of those good
old times. for I am notia!::s!i oo young to I
have $ei-n, with my own eyes, the pic
tures I would paint of th\t glorious prisl!
and these hands that now make this copy
have held in their friendly grasp the
finders of some of the most noble and
court, of the grand old regime. But
hold ?
For the read*:: wants me to let alone ,

$7,000 in hand. perhaps more than half
of this having been expended by the
Englishman in putt ng up an elegant
residence on th<? placeY-a residence with
the ideal walnut and .oak waiMcoting
and gothie gabels in abundance His ex
ample was a living illustra'ion of failure
in the principle of P<?or Hichard that
lie. who by the plow would thrive
Himself must either hold or drive.
Mr. Gwjn was raised on a farm, and
ho had always manifested a fondness and
aptitude for agrierrttural pursuitsj But
in the progress of cotton manufacturing
I in the south, he had gotten into the cur
| rent, ami at Hie time that lie resolved to
exchange the spindle for the plow, he
had a< cumulated the spare money neces
; sary to buy the "Holly Lodge" farm ?
: this the christening of 'be Englishman's
place. "W ha' is he going to do with
| that old worn-out and swampy place,
! that has kept men poor all their days in
j frying to work it?*' This was th-3 ques
! tion thnt disturbed many of tlic man's
i fi icmls. There were plenty of people
j who considered the money as simply
; buried in real esta'c from which posteri
| ty alo'.e might realize the pr fit. There
i werj also neighbors who ridiculed1 the
| man when he moved h's family to th;
i place and l>egan spending three more
! thousand dollars in the woik of fencing
j and cleaning out swamp and thicket,
i There wen some things siid about him
j that embraced the word "f ol.'l
A string of plank fencing over a mile
i long? fencing sawed out of white pine
\j\ad with split locust posts, each lot of
lumber worth some forty dollars the
j thousand feet in New York? this was
the great expenditure that exemplified fol
ly. so it was more than hinted. Then
there were thickets through which even
| birds could not fly, and a swamp given
over to snakes, frogs, crawfish and r?b
i bits. These next swallowed up the er
j ring brother's money and his time? for
| day after day. year after year, from early
| morn to dewy eve, he kept right along
| with his work, realizing the truth of the
j maxim that
L>j boss in fiel' he'self j
Is worf a dozen ban's,
even if he *3 id n't put his fingers on spa<U
! or mattock. He k'.-pt there all the same
? aiding, directing in all his operation*,
j not willing to relegate- or trust to an?
one else an hour's duty in the work of
resuscitating that farm.
The years rolled around, and the out
I lays of money still went on? fiome of the
| expenditures being borrowed dollars, but
I still no return. - , j t
FinallvJthe wand of the en.hanter was
? seen. The old ruins now stood out in a

; and there the narrow patch that attested

are wet weather and Jim Crow. He
doesn't try to control the clouds, but b?
fights the black- winged thief with pois
on. And if the rain fosters too much
ciabgrass for the grain crop to thrive, the 3
l>aiu again levies tribute on the spread
ing grass, and tlje^fitmer makes blessings ;
and r.ehes out of ffce curse to the corn, j
the grass being converted into the very j
finest of bay for his mu'cs and horses, j
of which hokeeps only four. A yoke of j
o\cn came iti for the extra heavy work
of the plantation. The enemy to the |
wheat croj) in this climate is rust. This |
is remedied by kanit..
I asked Mr. Gwvn if heha?l/ouL of the
abundaure of his experience aad observa
tion. any special suggestions to malce for
benefit of the farmer generally. Here
arc s .me things he aaid:
"Tell the farmers everywhere to pay j
more attention .to the'r farm?to real ag
licultuial interests? and take less notice
of political frauds. Don't make the farm
simply a staying place for the owner at
night; but let it b? converted into home,
comfort, happiness, prosperity. Each
fanner otvght to try, by all fair means, to
increase the fertility of at least one or
mire of his fields each and every year,
until all the place is brought up to the
highest possible state of productiveness.
Don't scatter too much in unpromising
p!ac<js - n< ither in entrgy, money or fer
tilizers; concentrate- is the word-uintil
you cau afford to scatter gcncrdGsly.
Some people ?all it intensivencss in
farming. It ij simply common sense.
Good judgement should dictate that
there be no wattcragc of any dement <*n
the farm. The Armours, of Chicago, got
rich in the slaughter business simply by
taking care of and converting- into good
value every thing about the butchered
beef? even to the blood and the hoof*.
In increasing the fertility of soil, the fu
ture expense io cultivation is always les
sened, while the product is' rnl.vgcd. A
plow run; better and easier la soil orig- I
iuaily deeply broken and made mellow i
by peas or other good vegetable manur
ing. than if poor and half broken nt the:
start; and deep soils are always the l>est
protection from drouth or excessive
rains. No man should think of making
a success in farming tint il he has a good
so l to work in; if the f^rm is iiatuially; j
thin, it can be thought up to a produc- i
ti vc condition by proper cultivation, un- i
less the substratum i* a sandy sponge
that absorbs the food element from every- j
thing put above it.
Mr. Gwyu is a zealous fcllianccmnn, al
though he has recently felt 6k i led upon
to publicly oppose >ome of the extreme
^measures of zealots iu the alliancc party".
He says that the alliance was originally
intended to benefit; the agricultural inter
ests of the country by making pimply a
brotherhood among farmers without any
ultimate interferes f in professional poli
tics, but that deigning and unwor hy I
men have prostituted the a.<-.s ciation to
different end*. He says that as long v.
the democratic patty continues to evince
its sympathy and gives its labors for the i
farmer, he cxjK-cts to uiik to "the old
ship;" he doir't like t!?t: i ica of getting
into little boats that have uev. r been
tried in bad weather. He takis Mr.
Lincoln's adviec. not to swap horses ia
the middle of ihe stream.
- Mr. Gwvn and h s v. ifer.re member? of
the Methodist church. They h.ive t?o

jears old, and he h i i some exoerience as

He hi* the k n ;i < k of managing men, and

can t 'io anything in the iv>or he makes
the labor of others inter* sting to them
selves; but he wants his men to keep at
the work while h<- tells the big stories.
He work* chiefly with the hireling labor
system, ignoring somewhat the tenant
system. He l>ve* to have his farming ail
done uT:;br his own e^e. and then he
knows i' is we!! done. He has the repu
tation of paying liburrdly for the work
that he obtains froni hi* hired men. Njm'i
people here criticise him -as being tod
democrat i ? and too liberal in fome thirgs.
He gets all the white labor h<i..imn!.s at
$10 per month, this including ttur hire
ling's board. He now rai.4"s all his fa m

THE SOUTH IN 1891.
.(
A Year's Progress in Commerce, in
dustry and Agriculture.
Activity in Every Branch of Manu
facturing and Mining. A Period
of Notable Achievements
Along All Line*.
- ;The year IS91 has been ooe of the most
trying periods through which the fioan
i ci.il, commerc:al, agricultural and indus
trial interests of this country have ever
Wen called upon to pass. The great fi
nancial crisU resulting from the Baring
i collapse in November, 1 890, overshad
owed everything in the. beginning of the
year, and the last twelve months (have
l^en a sirilyng illustration of the abil ty
of thife country to recover from a heavy
lilow to its financial and commercial in
| tercst*. The great jefources of this coun
try have Wen fuliy'tqual to the emergen
cy, and tbeaefvent of the year 1892 tinds
us in a prosperous condition, with all our
industries in a state of great activity,
f'nlike the great pauics of 1873 and 1884,
j~ihc crisis of 181KMJI was due entirely to
j outside causes, and not to condition*
I created in this country England, by
ill advised speculative ventures, precipi
afed the trouble and in the emergency
.the United States was culled upon to
?ight matters. The necessities of the
case caused * severe drain upon the fi
nancial resources of this c6uutry. but the
equilibrium has been oncc more restoied,
with comparatively little injury to our
financial and commercial interests
TJjie past year has been a period of
slow^rccovery from the great blow, but
the recovery has Ix-cn steady continuous
I and thorough, and the opening of an
other year brings prospects of the bright
est character. Nature has come nobly
to the aid of this country with bountiful
crops of every kind, ample enough not
only to meet nil requirements of home
consumption, but also to supply the de
ficiencies existing in other sections of the
world. The last half of the year has been
especially a period inactivity and pros
perity in nearly every line of business,
an<3 the growth of the trade shows how
/.illy and how rapidly the recovery has
j taken place.
Between the l>eginning and the end of
the past year there have l>een trying p;
riods in every section of the country.
| Speculative ventures of many kinds ha\e
I collapsed, business enterprises without
j 'sufficient capital have l>eeu forced to sus
pend and unsound banks hav been top
j pled over All of this has had a benefi
cial effect upon the country at large, and
, business interests are to-day in a more
healthy condition than they were twelva
months ago. There has been a general
I sharing i f the business atmosphere, ami
sound concerns can now breathe more.
I freely. H
It has been especially interesting to
l note the manner and locations in whicli
the reaction from the crisis of a year ago
h is manifested itself, and her? again the
South has cause for satisfaction. There
have been been many large failures ia
business the Vast y>ar, and the aggregate
of liabilities been unusually heavy!
lint the flisastrods failures have been conj
1 lined almost exclusively to the older tl
nancial centers of the North. The reac
tionary influences were severely felt ih
some parts of the West, where th'-re had
l?ecn widespread collapse of speculative
I venture*, but fortunately the enormous
' grain crops have again brought pros nc Hi
ty to ti.at sectiou. The failuies in the*
Mouth have b?*en limited mainly to a com
parative'}' few small concerns of insecure,
i footing and limited means. None of tho
more important irrterc:U in th* South
! have met with disaster, and- we believe
that any well informed and unprejudic
ed olrserver will admit that the Houth
has stood the ?lrain of the past year in a
phenomenal manner. In view of the.
; great proportion of new cstablishnyum
in the South itttvould r.ot have been sjir
i prising if many of ?hern had col!apn:d
under the pressure that has overthrown
; so many large and long-established timis
in other sections of the country, and the
fact such uot been the c sc u the
best possible evidence of the stability of
the South

Growth of Southern Railways.
The New York Financial Chronicle ha*
analyzed the fourth bulletin of the census
office on railway statistics in a way that
reveal* some noteworthy featujrea. Th*
bulletin relates to the operation! of rail
ways in the four southern states of Vir
ginia, ^West Virginia, Dforth Carolina and
South Carolina, the Ag ues covering the
year 1889.
The first matter to attract^ attention
concerns the decline in freight rates
It actua ly appears that the average
per ton per mile waalower in the four
southern states than in the middle state*,
and only slightly above the nverige of
the middle western states. In both the
latter two sections the cond tions are
6uch as to enforce low rates. The traffic
in coal, ore, and other bulky and low
class freight*, which will not tear high
transportation charges, is very large in
thope sections, and at the name time the
through freight between tha wa?t and
the seaboard, which l;keri*e hus to lie
carried at low average ratrts. forma a
quite considerate item in tlic traffic of
Hie lines.
The fact that the overage for the mid
llf states figures out somewhat higher
tlihn for the raiddlo western, both being
;ubject to much the same conditions, is
doubtless jwing to the existence of lar
g$r centers of population in the middle
frtaUs, thus giving the Hoe*, in those
states proportionately greater amounts of
general merchant fao traffic yielding bet
ter ratej.
That any group of southern state*
would show averages on the same level
\) ith t^ose of the two sections mentioned
ahich by reason of density jof traffic and
'. he preponderance of the lower class of
freight possets iperial advantages in thst
respect, is, the c hronicle thinks, a cir
cumstance Worth more than a passing
D itice, The census investigation makes
J he average forth e four southern stales
? inly a little over three quarters of a cent
per ton per mile? jn exact figures 7C6
irhousandths of a. cent? while for the
?fiddle states the average ia given as 808
j^tbusandths, and for the middle western
<>84 thousandth!.
lu the New England states, where then*
is an absence of the bulk v freights, the
average per ton per mile la aa much as
1,470 thousandths. Ths rhaogo
since 1880 has been remarkable. At that
time tht average /or the four southern
titles was 1 450 cents, while that for the
m'ddle Mates was 1 044 cents, and fo>
tne middle western state? 0.892 cent
that is, the average then waa 40 per cent,
higher than for the middle states and
over 60 per cent, higher than /or the
middle western state* ? whereas now it is
lower than the one and but little higher
than the other.
The ( hronicle thinks it worth noting,
too. that the growth haa not been con
1 ,in':d to the freight traffic, but is equally
marked aa regards the passenger tnjffic
In 1880 the roads in the four southern
states transported onlr 2,628,535 pas
. *cnger* alMold; in 18*9, on the other
hand, they transported nearly nine awl i
half million paM*ngcni The passenger
movement one mile in the same interval
rose from 104.000 000 to 339,000,000.
! In the one initance the ratio of growth is
201 per rent, acd in the other per
cent This is decidedly heavier that>
the increase in the other two sections,
i In. the middle state* the number of pas
senger s increased only 131 per cent., and
the passengers .one mile 99 per cent.,
while in lfiemwl<fl* western states the
|>erc.eotag^r wewH&more than 99 and
73 respective."^, i
'I he rates on the passenger business, |
like those on freight, have during the de |
cade approached much rioter to the f>' r
ages for the other sections than before. !
* In l^SO, while the average for the rnid
, die, the middle western and the New
, Kiigland States were respectively 2
^2,167 and 2 1^8 cents per mile,
average for the four .southern st:?t?* waa
j over three cents <??024?. *V<r 1WJ,
! however, with the averages for the mid',
r die states I.Mr, rents, for the middle'
I western 2 ("9) rents and for the New
