The razor back hog of the South has bee arter years of (sectional calumny and misn reset) ihuoii, vindicated superbly by t United States government. The agricultui department at Washington, In its buiet Issues 12 and 13, pays noble tribute to the nowned Suiltbtieid, Virginia hams, and, in dentally, to the traditional,razur-bacK h< from wnlch they are manufactured. The fume of the Stnllhtield ham Is well c tabliohed, says the report, its ' oily trlvt being "ihe celebrated Westphalia ham, wbi >vtriuiii>>r in bp inferior." The name derived iroui a btnall town on fayan tret about, thirty miles from Norfolk, Va. J reputation began about one hundred yea ago with the bains cured by Mr. Todd, hmltbfleld. Its sale is extensive, extendi to all the larger cities of the Union whe good hams produced yearly go to Europe meet the demand of connoisseurs of the c world. Much of the product Is sold is Kn land and France to pri vate parties, who oru the bams "before the crop is cured." It is Impossible," snys the report, " make a good ham from a Western bo*." bus been tried. Western hums have be cured by the Smltbtield process, but wllbo good result. Western pigs have been 1 ported and fattened as well as cured Smithfleld, but all to no purpose. The me was unsatisfactory, being coarse com par with the local product. Strauge to say i animal which produces the lucoiupaiut "Smlthfleld bam" Is the "razor-buck" lios seml-wiid, friendless, not to say odious, > riety which is found In the mountains ot V glula, Kentucky and Tennessee. This varit Is described as "long-nosed, slab-sided a like a race horse," witb legs ot extraordlua length. It bas a bad name among larmi hroa/l flnA Rf/w k. bllL for llttlU Jt LlUB equal. Much depends on the proper feeding ai upon the curing of bHiiie. For a time tn i youth of the "razor back" he is allowed the summer to run wild in the woods a gain thus a gamey flavor, when he Is turn into the fields from which crops have he gathered, where he begins to fatten. Of tl fatten lug process the report says: "In the lall when the crop has been gather the hogs are turned Into the corn fields, these tleids every other row has beem planl * with black-eyed pea* and the hogs are lowed to gather them and the small corn it has been left In the tleids. When turned It these fields they are very thin. The ft k they get there causes them to begin to fatt f rapidly. As the potatoes are gathered t iiog6 are allowed to follow in lhe.se fields a get the small potatoes that are left. In t district which produces the moi>l cmlthtli bams there are a great many sweet potau aud peanuts raised and the hogs are allow free access to these fields as soon as the crt ate gathered. The potatoes, and particula the peauuts.add.Iat with astounding rapldi but the lat is very so!t. Peanut fat in pari ularhasa translucent, oily character, wui from its tendency to drip when the hams i hung up causes a great shrinkage lu l weignt." AJter the razor-back baa cleaned up i fields tbe next step Is lo pen him up and si bim corn and plenty of cleau water. W this diet be fattens quickly lo tbe desired < tent. Tbe curing is with tbe Liverpool s and saltpeter, attar which the hams i washed clean and slowly smoked for fo; ?iays, with green hickory or red oak wo< Many farmers raise the hogs, but lew ci ttieiu. They are sold to skilled curers, w supply the market with about 3 .000,000 pout of nam yearly. If the agricultural department Inspector w wrote these bulletins had Investigated a lit more closely be would have discovered t only that the incomparable razor-back t exists plentifully In Utorgla and South ('a Una as well as Virginia, Tennessee aud K tucky, but that men lu these States utid stand bow to produce bams equal to I ftmlthfleld brand. Virginia tries to get all theglory for Pickett's charge at Gettysbu although (ieoiglans were in the forefront tbatonset. She has a paramount reputatt for bams, but Georgia and South Carolina c at least :aau>U her in that rcspect. In the cellence, if not tbe reputation ol their p duct.

At any rate, I purpose j I ? now, iimnins unure u u|icun, ivs uumuw wuv er next political fight in this state I am not asking anybody to believe what 1 say, but I 10 to ask that 1 bose who will read my remarks 11 snail stamp tbern on their memories and, alter J elj 1 he campaign of ls93 is over say whether or ul not I am a true prophet. I firmly believe that lu" me predictions I shall mnke will come to pass. al '"That is a ruiher long pffeface, but let that 1 at pass.

During the next few months, llJ' or until after the next session of the legtslau<* ture, I expect to see most of the Conservative ry papers carry on a smooth discussion of the r* comparativemeritofTillmau.Scbumpertand to her prominent men as gubernalloial can didates. This one will assent that Schumpert 'J" is the strongest possible candidate, auother he will claim that Col. G. D. Tillman is the mo?t avalable man, while others will ulJ declare that some other man must utl make the race if victory is to be wen. "I etl I think?mind you, I only think I do not assert ?that during this time the Stale will pose as a quasi defender and apologize for Governor ed Eilerbe, but I do not think it will do for him Id what it has done for McLaurln, that is use Us ed Influence to keep Conservative candidates al- from running against him. For the present, however, while matters political are still in a no somewhat nobuious state. It will act as a sort ed of butler between Governor Eilerbe and ad eu verse criticism of his official acts. he "Now, I thluk It will be generally admitted nd | that while the conservatives?or -iorraer wonhe Uervatlve's?differ on various things, on one aid they are a unit. They have not much objects Hon to a division of offices with Reformers of red the Forty stripe even it the Reformers get the >ps lion's share, but when it comes to Ben Tiilriy man holding office every mother's eon of ty, them is 'agin' him. That Is one point which :ie- those who may take issue with me will not cb dare to support. While there are a number of ire | Reformers whom the mass; of Conservatives :be i respect and esteem and have no especial objection to see in office, yet every man in the Ihe i state who classes himself as a Conservative or Ive | former Conservative is willing to move ith | heaven and earth to compass the defeat and ?x-j downfall of Ben Tillman, the well spring of nit I all their woes, real or fancied. tre j "To defeat Ben Tillman, his opponents conrty | eelve that it Is necessary forone who sympatbod. j Izes with their purposes to be governor ot ire I the state when Tillman runs for re-electlou ho in 1900, for even the least exreilenced politlids 1 clan appreciates the power ol a state admtn: Istrxtlon. ho; "Even if Ellerbe were willing to aid the tie plans of those who say of Tillman as the not Roman orator said of Carthage,'lie must be log destroyed,' 1 do not think the Conservatives ro- would support him for re-election, for they do en- not regard his staying qualities without susler plcion and tber think his political backbone the is not much stlffer than a paper string. They oil regard his course in office as an attempt 'to rg, I run with the hare and hold back with the ol hounds' and confess their disappointment in Ion : him. If Bill Ellerbe had the braios and back;an 1 bone to give his administration an indlvldex-1 uallty and carry out and pursue a policy of iro- his own which would distinguish him from; I his two predecessors, he would have beeu the i strongest man in the state and the natural! j candidate for the United States Senates in) I 1900of all those who will concentrate their I I support upon him who seems most able to I cope with Tillman. They have lost faith in ! Elleibe and he cuts but a small figure In their plans. They will use him as long as they can ,, I and then throw him aside with scarcely a regret. I "W. C.

According Lo the unknown, a conference has already aeen held at which It was agreed that the ?onservatlves should support Mr. McGowan md that In the meantime the conservative lewspapers should ''throw dust In the eyes of ,be people" by, discussing other candidates avorabiy. This Is the first lnteligence of any conference of conservatives bavlog been held that ms come to the News but It is quite true ,hat many people- are talking of Mr. McGowan as a first rale man to elect govenor.
