When Europeans travel they go to
hotels hceae.se they cannot carry their
homes with them. They put up at
hotels because they are obliged to put
up wiMi hotels. American? ko to ho- j
tols because they like hotel life. I
once heanl a party of ten or twelve '
Americana, men and women, give one ]
another their impressions of a Euro*
peaii tour which they hail just con '
eluded. They were not, I must say, l
refined Americans as 1 know 80 many,
but, no doubt, well-to-do people. Well,
ho far as I could judge, their rem in is
CODces wcro not of the old castles and
cathedrals, the landscapes they had I
seen, the plays they bad been to, hut
the hotels they hud slopped at, the
merits Ol which they discussed a? they
compared them to the hotels of Ameri
ca. 1 was once insidu the beautiful
banqueting hall in the old ruined
I ieidelberg castle In Germany. Seme
Americans were thero at the time. A
young girl detached herself from the
party, went against the wall and meas
ured its length with her feet. When
she returned she said : " I knew 1 was
right: it's three feet longer than the
dining room at tboGrund I'autlio hotel
In Chicago." Ami Chicago feet, too!
What appeals to an; American In a
hotel is the si/.o, the large dimensions
of everything ? large halls, large
rooms, huge menu. The American
has bigness on the brain : this, 1 think,
is explained by the si/.j of the conti
nent he inhabits. It must be admitted
that forfcomfort, case, luxury, thero is
no such a land of pienty as a good
American hotel.
Hut Um menu ! oh, that American!
menu! Will there he one day a plucky
American hotel proprietor who will
dare bring it to a decent proportions
without running the risk of being ac
cused of meanness, that most hateU de
feet in AmerlpaV 1 never look at
Americans leaving tlie dining room
alive after going tluough that menu
without thinking of the little negro
boy who, being told at Sunday school
that it is related in tiie gospel that
l\v?) people woro unco fed with ill teed
thousand loaves and fishes, aed, asked
where the miracle was, answered !
" miracle was dat dey didn't bust."
1 now understand the use of the sher
bet to he found in the middle of an
American menu, it was explained to
me by a bisbop at whose side I was
once sitting at a dinner in Philadel
phia? '"Yes." ho said to me, "it cools
you and enables you to go on." That
bishop was congratulated by me on the
fact that he lived in times when cook
ing had improved since the days of the
Lord's Last Supper. I could not help
telling my bishop friend that, while
we took a sherbet to "cool our.-elves
and get, able to go on," perhaps in the
next street there was some poor moth
er having nothing hut milkless breasts
to offer to some starving babe, tlow
ever, let us not dwell on these fright
ful contrasts of life.
The most objectionable sight that I
know of, the one that has always
struck me as. perhaps, the most?well,
1 was going to say revolting?is to
watch at hotels Americans order soup,
Hsb, two mtreOS, three kinds of roast
meat, poultry or game, three or four
vegetables, two or three sweets, just
laKe a mouthful of each and send It all
away, This very morning at my hotel
thero was at my table a man who did
not look as if at home he could afford
two square meals a day. lie ordered
for breakfast oatmeal, bacon and two
eggs, lamb stew, steak, potatoes and
buckwheat cakes. He ato one egg,
meseed the lish and the. bacon with his
fork, had one bite at the steak: in fact,
did not use one-twent iclh of the
quantity of food he In X asked. 1
maintain, without any fear of being
contradicted, that thero is enough
food, good food, wasted In the hotels
of overy American city to food, and
amply Iced, all the poor people who
dwell lu it.
In the hotels of the smull towns the
menu is not printed) and the waitress
recites it to you in one long word of
forty or fifty syl'ablos. As she gen
orally turns her back to you during
the recital, you don't catch one word
of it, anil you say : " Bring me the
lot." She brings It on a big tray and
nlaces. or rather deals, (iftuen or more
little oval dishes around your plate.
When th,?t deal was dono to me for
the first tune 1 remember 1 exclaimed:
"Hello, what's trump?" Hut that
waitress was not to bo trilled with, and
I will never try it again.
A id how [ do admire tun.? big mus
taclu .1. magnificent potentate of a
head waiter who lieu in wait for you at
the entrance door. How ho strikes me
with awe as ho orders mo to my seat !
I havo spent three years of my life In
America. I never oueo saw an Ameri
can so daring as not to accept that
seat. The head waiter is so thorough
ly persuaded that it would never enter
my head not to follow him that ho
never looks round to seo if 1 am there
close behind him. Why, ho knows I
am there. Hut 1 am not. I sometimes
got a little innoceut umuscmcnt out of
him. I let hlra go to tno ond of the
room, When ho stops, moves a chair,
and realizes that 1 have takon a scat
On my own hook and responsibility, tils
faco is a study. He comes back to me
and orders me oll. Then 1 smile and
says : " No, thanks, I don't .vant a
constitutional walk just now : don't
trouble about mo, I am all right horo."
Ho looks at mo well and goes away,
absolutely satisfied 1 am a crank. Oncu
in St. Louis, at the Planters' hotel,
when 1 arrived near the dining room,
i he head waiter came to me and said :
< "Mr. O'Hull, whore would you liko to
sltV" I stood aghast. " Ezouse me,"
I said, " let mo have time to take it
and reali/.e it. Do you mean to toll
that in this Hotel I am going to choose
my seat'.'" 'Certainly," ho replied.
1 pointed to a tablo near the window
and ho took mo there. When 1 loft
the dining room I mot some newspaper
"*mon,^| the hall and I told them my
new^cxperlonoo. The next day the
papors*duly reported the incident, with
a delicious heading, " Max Sits Whoro
He Likes."
The American id tlio prince of good
follows. Ho pH- ifBes in a supremo
degree that divine saving graco of
humor. Ho feels that if ho loses his
tempor ho looks ridiculous. Ho is an
angel of patlenoo, and ho submits llko
a lamby to the little tyrannies of all
the petty autocrats of America, rail
way conductors, head wattors, etc.
1 onco hoard an Kngl'shmun in tho
hall of an American hotel grumble
and swear at everything. " Where is
tho proprietor?*' ho ejaculated. Tho
proprietor was bohlntt tho counter,
smoking his cigar and quietly enjjy

" Aro you the boss of ?his show ?"
shouted tho Englishman, who thought
be had a good command of tho Ameri
can language.
" Well," replied tho proprietor,
without taking his oi<ar from his
mouth, " I thought I was till you
came."
^he American did score, over that

The part of South Afrloa in which
the Uepublio Is situated was discovered
[a 1 101 hy the Portuguese, and this dis
covery opened the way for tho Lngllsh
and the Hollandersof the Netherlands.
The latter sett'ed principally in the
Cane country.
In liK. hy the Kl let of Nantes, the
Huguenots were tlriven out of l-Vance,
and many of these also settled in the ;
Hooi country. Liter tho Germans I
came, ami from this strange Intermix
ing of Holland, French and German
blood, resulted the present race of ,
Huers, or Afrikanders, as they are
often called. In Hi'.'.' Kaglaod took the
(Jape from the Dutch, and it became
an Ligllsh colony, remaining such'
until 180H, when it was given back it)
the Butch. In 1800 it was again taken I
hy the Lnglish, and has remained in i
their possession ever since. La 1810
six of the loading men of tho H >ers'.
wore hanged by tho K iglish for a
trilling offense, and this and other op
pressions caused them in plan to escape.
This was not attempted until 18S4,
when the Hours, about ftOO in number,
j sold their farms where they could and
1 left them where thev could not. They
I crossed tho o.-ango K.ver and trekked
nortli into Africa.
After much wandering about they
j finally crossed tho Vaai River, and
founded tho Transvaal state. In Is.",.!
a proclamation was issued by tho K ig
lish that all tho farmers who lived be
yond the O/ange Kiver wore free of
Iviglish rulo. A treaty to this ell Ut,
which is the Boor Magna Charter, was
signed at San? lt.vor.
In a constitution was adopted
and a president elected. In is77 ICag-1
land Issued a proclamation declaring
tho Republic a colouy of Kjgland. A !
hu^o massmeetlng was hold by the
Uoers. It was docldod to litfht, and
hlruger, Pretorious alui .loubert wore
mado a triumvirate to govern tho Re
public until after tho war. Several
skirmishes occurred uud on Fob. 27,
1881, cuino the historic buttle of Maju
I ba Ulli, where 150 Huers elimbjd too
j mountain slopes und routed loo Kag
I llsh soldiers, killing 300 and putting
the rest to lltpht, with the loss of but
one Hoer. Later that year (Jladstone
j recalled tho K;i{,rlish troops aud gave
tho country back to the Boers, with
j tho stipulated agreement that Kurland
I should retain su/.orlanity und that toe
j Hours should make no treaty with a
: foroign power without her consent.
In l^sl the suzorlanlty was dropped
I and only the treaty qutsdon remained.
The ail venturous American and Kng
llshman in 1880 discovered the wealth
in gold mines and diamond holds and
immediately began to develop them,
to such an extent, that as early as 18UU
the South African mine, Johannes
; burtr. paid in dividends $7,450,000, and
In l^'.i7 tho amount was $1:1,000,000, and
I last year it went up to $24,450,000.
: These miucs, of course, are in the
1 Boors' possession, but 'Jiey have been
j developed almost exclusively by for
; ei^u money, for with the discovery of
? such vast riches people Hacked from
all parts of the world to Johannesburg,
until there were more foreigners than
Boers. Soon they demanded citizen
ship, and the Yolksraad decided they
must live In the country fifteen years.
! Liter this was reduced to seven years.
Things remained In lh>" ntate until
Jamleson, bucked by Rhodes uo<i
' Chamberlain himself, invaded the
country with 800 cavalry and thirty
i Maxim tfuns. The result of this feeble
llasco was that both countries have
regarded each other with an ever In
creasing suspicion which finally cul
minated in the bloody war, with the
'. detail-? of which all readers are futnil
i iar. At the beginning of this war it
i was estimated that there were 40,000
lighting men In tho Transvaal and
i :JU,0UU in the Orange Free State and
t about 30,000 in tho Cape country, and
while tho latter were all technically
British subjects, tho grand total of
Boers united in blood and sympathies
made up tho formidable number of

AV HAT TU K MONIiwE ?OOTBINK IS
'i ii.' Declaration ? >ppdhIiij' Forei?n
Interference With CiHatiuntie At
lairs.
Brielly and broadly stated, tho Mon
i roo doctrine is our national uoliey of
I opposing the interference of Ljropean
powers with tho political alfeirs of
established popular governments in the
American hemisphere, its origin was
as follows: In at a congress of
Kuropoan powers at Verona, Italy,
1 there was discussed a plan to aid Spain
to recover hor revolted American
colonies This aroused strong indigna
tion in the United Statesand the senti
ment '' America for Americans," be
came the popular cry. In tho follow
ing your, hSj.'i, President Monroe, after
careful consultation with his secretary
of Btato, .lohn Cjaincy Adams, and
with Thomas Jellerson, incorporated
in his annual mcssago tho following
declarations: "That wo should con
sider any attempt on their part to ex
tend their systom to any portion of
this hemisphere as dangerous to our
peace and safety "; and ''that wo could
not view any Interposition for tho pur
poso of oppressing (Independent Am
erican governments) or controlling In
any manner their destiny by any Eu
ropean power in any other light than j
as a manifestation of an unfriendly
disposition towards tho United States."
These declarations at onco became
known as the Monroo doctrine. Thoy
recelvod popular approval at tho time
and havu always been advocated flince
then. During the late civil war Louis
Napoleon, in contempt of tho doctrine
sought to establish the Arch duko
Maximilian as tho titular emperor of j
Mexleo, Owing to tho occupation of i
the national forcos at homo the effort |
then met with only a diplomatic pro
test, but in ordiuury times such a
on a.-uro. would rouse tho country to '
active opposition. In international
ull'alrs of to-day the doctrine has its
application in tho way of detcrriug
Kuropean intrigues or armed intor
loronco with independent American
governments

In army canteens General Hpmola

The letters to the Praclical Farmer
all show with one accord thai win rcas,
the writers had before made bulures i
in their business or been very moderate*
ly successful, that since thoy had road
and Studied the paper, learned both
from the scientific writers and the ex
perience of praclical fanners both the
scientific, principles and the actual sue:.
COSSful methods of those who contrib
ute to its columns, they became BUC
ccssful and prosperous.
There are two ways of reading a
farm paper; fust, a careless, casual
, glancing over the contents, which
leaves no impression lor good and ex
cites no interest : second, a careful
and critical way ol reading what each
writer has to say, fm the purpose of
discovering whether In- teaches any
thing of real value to the practical
farmer. Kvety one who reails in this
way is sure to learn in every copy of
the paper something that is worth
more than the subsetiplioi) price for
a whole year. Such leaders of the pa
per learn that Ihere is a good way and
a bad way of doing everything on the
farm. That the difference between
good plowing ami bad plowing may
add a large per cent, to the value of a
Cl'Op; that the tlifforOUCO between good,
thorough cultivation, done in the best
possible manner and at the propel
time, may determine whether there i
to be n good profit or tin actual loss on
a crop: that land may he so plow ed and
so cultivated' that neither drouth nor
excessive rair.s will materially injure
the crop, that tie- proper making, CRM
of ami use of manures may of itself
determine whether a farmer will make
money and live in comfort or he a cou
stau loser, laboring hard and living in
i discomfort.

liven the most ignorant themselves
recognize and value it al ils tine worth.

(;()()!> ADVICE FROM AN l-UHJK
FIELD FARM Ell.
The followinglottor from Mr. .lames
W. De Voro to tho Bdgoficld Advcitta
'fin pointed and sensible, ami it' the
farmers of the. South would net upon
lliis liuo in the year l!)(lt) they would
never reglet it:
Mr. Editor: Tlie wheel of fate has
been turning adversely to the produc
ing people, and especially tint cotton
producing people of this county, for
fifteen or twenty years and until (lie
year 1800, when by act of 1'rovulenec,
the wheel of late is made, to go very
slowly, that tho fanners, Hie cotton
raisers, can, if they will, catch hold and
force it to revolve the other way, in
favor of the cotton raiser.
It has boon demonstrated by feels,
circumstances and figures, that the
cotton crop for ISO!? was and is a short
crop. 11 is also certain that hv reason
of this short crop the price of cotton
has advanced over 2 cents per pound,
Which shows I lie. cIToct of supply ami
' demand.
Now willi tliis light, and Ihr. above
undisputed tacts bet?re them, is it not
possible to hnvc concerted action
among the farmers, by persuading thorn
of the advantages that would redound
to thotn, and cause them with one ac
cord to reach out and catch tins wheel
while it is turning slowly, ho to speak,
by duplicating the crop of 1800 for the
yeai l'.lOO, or if possible, make it still
shorter? Two .short cotton crops in
succession would certainly advance the
price Still higher, and at the. same tune
leave the col Ion raiser with an abun
dant supply of foodstuffs, which would
be raised instead of cotton.
Why produce ten bales of cotton if
the piodiicera have it in their powor to j
realize the sumo amount of money, or
perhaps more, for five bales?
It seems to me that tho silualiou it
simply this, brought about by Ihethorl
crop of 1609. It puts the long end of
the ropo in the cotton producers handt,

unri they can i?tili ii strong enough so
as in lighten it ami squeeze Ilms?! who
Inivo heou squeezing Ihetn; ami the less
cotton Hint is produced tins present
your Iho ensior and lighter can llic rope
1)0 pulled, and the harder the squeezing
will he. I have heard it said thai the
farmers can never get to be a unit
along this line, thai they are disorgan
ized, and all such nonsense. This 1
believe to he idle talk, though 1 have
heard tunny farmers indulge in such
assertions thcmsolvos. The trouble, in
my judgment, is that they have never
made up their minds llrinly and un
changeably to lake this matter in their
own hands and attend to it, in such
an organized and business-like manner
as the importance Of it deserve-. II
they raise and produce the col ton, what
is the, reinen t ach and every <>ih. if
them cannot determine for hiiiisi If, '?nd
stand llrmly by his determination, how
much of bis land be will plant in col
ton? N<> OUc can lon e htm to plant
much or little, th-U is a matter for Iiis
own consideration, and if in their judg
ment, alter a full and deliberate con
sideration by the cotton producers as
a whole they couciudo that it will be
to their best interest to plant little or
less than heretofore, and make up their
minds lo UO so, it will he done.
U it is. loo late to do anything with
the guano trust, it is not loo late t?>
organize for the purpose of producing
another short crop, or taking into con
sideration the wisdom and advisability
?f so doing.
And l iiilit now is Ihe opportune lime
I lo decrease Ihc producliou of cotton,
wo have n short crop now, and to pile
up another on this will cause the price
to advance, and remain high for sev
eral year-.
Then tho demand for cotton is right
now growing, there arc cotton mills
heilig built all over the Eolith, and the1
must have cotton or else llicir mills
will be idle, and if the ciiiji is short
again this year, the greater will be Ihc
uisli and efforts <d the different mills
to got it, and that will necessarily
cause the price to l;o higher. If the
farmers ol South Carolina, Georgia,
Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Kan
sas and Texas were to act in accoi I
mice with the views net forth ill this
article, I will assure thciii that there
will he no escape from selling their
cotton at from 1*2 to 20 cents por pound
the coming fall. In my judgment,
all that is necessary to cany out the
views herein expressed i> to get Hie
cot to i producers of the Slides named
to coudder the matter seriously. This,
Wl 1 ?' un e done, will insure il^ success.
? ii conclusion. Mr. Editor, 1 desire to
Buy most emphatically that there is no
politics in this, lor I would rather see,
and help to be I bo nicins of raising
the pi ice of cotton, and have the farm
eis controlling ii afterwards, liiiitt to
have an otllcc, ami if col toil were sell*
illg today at 1(J or L~> cents per pound,
or even at a living price, in my opinion,
t'lere would be less struggling for olllcc,
lor the reason that there would be more
in raising cotton that could begotten
out of OlliCC.
PLANT COHN.
One. may understand Hint corn is
very seatec in Ihis country by notic
ing the corn cribs as bo ridos along
tlif road, says Tin Sjiurtun, Then
thoro is seldom any corn brought to
market. Tin-, dry weather last summer
caused this shortage. Then Hie ma
jority plant for only enough to supply
llieill, provided UlO seasons are favor
able. This is a wi'on / policy.
(lotion is 8 i-i cents as wo write this,
With a tendency towards 1(1. With
most people that will be a strong ar
gument for selecting the very best
land for cotton and letting their corn,
lake its chances. That is also wrong, j
No farmer has ever in ibis Piedmont
belt made steady and permanent pro- j
gross who depended on his neighbors
or tin; Western State.- lor corn ami
bacon.
Tlio Iruc plan is lo select land bcsl
adapted lo corn. Prepare llio land
by deep plowing 11 aller it is thor
oughly broken the harrow is used jus!
bet?re planting time, so much the
heiter. Apply manure liberally.
Secure a good stand from lirst plain
ing if possible. Do not have it loo
thick. Ileiuember that one hi/ ear
is worth a half dozen nubbins. Corn
needs rapid cultivation. If any crop
lias to stand let it he cotton. I'ilcll
your crop so as to make about a third
more corn than you need. Then if a
.-lorm or drought strikes you, enough
may be made tor home use.
In former days corn was a credit
product, The tanner who stalled out
to buy corn in March or April was
generally moneyless. Now corn will
bring ready money as quick as eolton.
There is a demand all the time in Ibis
market for denn. sound while corn for
meal. Do not let Hie rise in cotton
turn your head. I'laut corn, I Mailt
enough of it to do you with a little 10
spate.
