I'Mitors Nuell, of Uoxhoi'd, and Itohin sim, of I iiiIi;i 111, nre suffering; from a violcnL id lark of " post ol lice," an pideiiiie whirh has displayed a eonta gious form all over tin country within tin past few months. They are hardly exported to recover. lOditor (Irillin, of Marion, is thoug-hlby his friends to have unmistakable symptoms, of a similar malady. He was in Washington a few days agd seeking- advice- on the matter. A diagnosis of the " post otliei:" malady by the best authorities shows it to be unlike the small pox and kindred scourges which can be prevented by vaccination, inocculalion, or, at least, by a rigid quarantine. There is abso lutely no saf -guard against theapproach of this devastating- plague. No treat incut suffices to allny the virulence of its onslaught. It has onesyinptom in com mon with the grip that itattaeks the victim in the weakest place. In the case of Messrs. Xorll, Robinson and (Jrirlin this weak spot is tin brain. The dread ful scourge has laid its hands on the lives of t hese promising- members of the press and we have already despaired of them. We thought they were too zealous in Mr. Carr's behalf.

We are hoping against hope that all of them may be saved and restored to the arms of the Democratic party, which they have at times served so faithfully. Kridsville lie view. According to the diagnosis of the Kcvii-if we, with the rest of " the boys" mentioned, are in a fearful state, and did not know it. We are giving the Review doctors the night mare. This is too bad.

SOME THINGS ABOUT THE COST OF THEM. The Amount of Staff Required to Supply a Factory of 4,000 Can Ca pacity Per Daythe Yield Per Acre of Tomatoes, &c. Baltimore, Md., April 1, 1893. Editor Manufacturers' Record: We have read with considerable in terest your article on the canning in dustry which appeared in the issue of your journal March 17. We can sub stantiate lully your assertions on the subject with the exception of your cal culations on cost ot labor and also acreage required. We feel confident that on those two points you have made a miscalculation onlv, and a matter which you will kindly allow us to correct through the columns of your valuable publication. You state that the cost of labor for canning 4,000 two-pound cans is $25. You further more say that taking this as a basis, that the cost of labor for one two-pound can would be six cents. You should have said that the cost of labor of one can would be about three-fifths of one cent. You also stated that a fair crop of tomatoes is 300 to 400 bushels per acre, and that one bushel of tomatoes will fill sixteen to twenty three-pound cans, which latter statement is un doubtedly correct, but you go further and say it would take the product of 200 acres to supply a 4,000-can ca pacity (per day) factory one day, and you also say that to operate this fac tory twenty days would require the product of 4,000 acres. Now to arrive at the proper acreage to supply this capacity canning machine, we will say that a bushel ot tomatoes will fill eighteen three-pound cans, and the average yield of an acre planted in tomatoes is 350 bushels. We find that we can fill 6,300 three-pound cans rom the product of one acre. Now to supply this 4,000-can capacity per day factory for twenty days, say suffi cient raw material for 80,000 cans, you can readily see that thirteen acres will be sufficient, as the output of thir teen acres, calculating 6,300 cans to the acre, would be 81,900 three-pound cans. In reference to the cost and capac ities as mentioned in your article of canning machinery you are correct. The purchaser obtains with outfit all the necessary instructions for put ting up and operating his own can nery, he gets all the so-called secrets of the business, and can in a few days become familiar with its working?. This is unquestionably the most im portant industry in operation to-day in our State, particularly when con sidering the immense force of work men it employs. The labor employed in the packing trade is composed largely of women, boys and girls. Heretofore the ma chinery required for the business of canning was held at such figures that but few outside of Maryland and some other States could make the venture. It was also difficult to obtain the pro cesses of the various goods. No one cared to give it away without a con sideration, and it was necessary, if one did embark in the business, to obtain a man at a large salary who under stood the processing. In no part of the country has this industry brighter prospects than in the South. At the present time the ques tion is agitating the public mind, es pecially the investor, who, by his sharp insight of the business world, can see a greater margin on each can of fruit or vegetables prepared in the South over the same kind and class of goods made ready for the market in the North. It has been said and known to be a fact, with an average crop the fruit falls from the trees and the vegetables that are allowed to decay within the limits of numbers of counties, would, if canned, pay the taxes of these coun ties. Think of this enormous waste; then picture to yourselves the extra amount of money that would be saved to these farmers if there were canning factories in operation that would con sume the surplus fruit and vegetables that grow so abundant in their sec tions. What has been true in former years is liable to keep on for the next half century, unless the hand of man comes to the rescue. An investment of this kind pays large profits on the capital, besides being a benefit to the city or county where these lactories are located. A. K. Romns & Co. To Raise Less Tobacco. Richmond State. There is a tendency in Virginia to grow less tobacco. This is apparent in all the counties where the weed is made the chief staple. The acreage will probably be less this year than for a long time past, and the farmers will give more attention to other crops. One reason for this change is the scarcity of farm labor. In nearly all the tobacco counties the able-bodied negroes have deserted the farms and gone to the cities or to public works, leaving behind them the old and the young representatives of their race. Then, too, there is a disposition to a higher standard, and to accomplish this it becomes necessary to reduce the acreage. The farmers will see better times when they realize the importance of diversified crops. Whet lour Knife. Now soars the hawk, his wateh to keep; The plowman jerks the lines.

LWilmington Messenger. While we have a warm admiration and the kindest personal friendship for Henry E. Shepherd, LL. D., Pres ident of the College of Charleston, S. C, we have not known many of the particulars of his life. From a sketch in the Illustrated American for April, 1893, we get some facts concerning this eminent North Carolina scholar whom we regard as facile princeps among the men of letters of this State, past and present. We mentioned that Dr. Shepherd had been appointed on the Council of Historical Literature for the World's Columbian Exposition. The Illustrated American has very high praise for him and says that he " is probably the most progressive, as also the first, English scholar of Amer ica." We like that. It says farther: " Dr. Shepherd has earned for himself, by his great literary attainments, a name alike honored in this country and Europe, where genius like his is always accorded a hearty welcome." It refers to the great distinction paid him by the University of Oxford, Eng land, to which the Messenger has al ready referred. At the close of the introduction to the great " Historical Dictionary of the English Language," now being issued by the Clarendon Press, at Oxford, special mention is made in most laudatory terms to an article written by him, at the request of Dr. Basil Gildersleeve, for the Amer ican Journal of Philology, and pub lished in the October number of that magazine in 1S80. Students of Eng lish in every part of the world are ad vised by the editors of the English dictionary to consult this article which is so conspicuously called to their at tention. It consists merely of the his tory of the two words, " Coincide" and "Coincidence," traced through a period of over six hundred years -that is, from mediaeval Latin into English, through all their mutations and vicis situdes. Now for a few biographical data. He was born at Fayetteville, N. C, in 1844. He early volunteered in war times, entering at seventeen. He was almost mortally wounded at the battle of Gettysburg, July 3, 1863, but, re covering was made Captain. Being too young to accept the commission he served as a non-commissioned offi cer to the end ot the war. Dr. Shepherd was educated at the University of Virginia, and had an es pecially high rank in literature and the languages His professional life began in Baltimore soon after the close ot the war, and he made his home there until the end of the year 1882., at which time he assumed the presi dency of the College of Charleston, S. C. He was engaged in many im portant academic trusts in Baltimore, and was Superintendent of Public In struction from 1875 until 1882. Dr. Shepherd has published three volumes, is a very eminent and gifted lecturer upon literature, never writing his lectures, but speaking with the ut most facility and using the choicest, most scholarly, most precise diction. He is also a voluminous contributor to leading Northern and Southern literary and philological journals. We lately referred to his excellent paper in the Sewanee Quarterly the able, schol arly magazine published at the Episco pal University of the South. The Il lustrated American says that his" work has been time and again recognized in Europe and in the amplest and most generous way. He has been a lecturer in English in nearly every part of the country North and South having spoken in that capacity to classes of college presidents and pro fessors at least five hundred times." The first time we heard the Doctor lecture we thought of course he was speaking memoriter, although he had not a note before him. His English was so elegant and his fluency so per fect that it never occurred to us that he was merely doing as was his wont extemporizing. North Carolina may well leel proud of such a scholar and such a Christian Gentleman. A Boston paper criticises a contem porary for speaking of a " widow woman," explaining that the word " woman is superfluous; then, in the next paragraph, it says that the Naronic "probably foundered at sea." This information will be gratifying to those who believed that the vessel foundered in the air or climbed a tree somewhere and foundered itself there. It isn't safe to be a critic, even when educated in Boston. Washington News. It isn't absolutely safe even when educated in Washington. A ship that founders " at sea" does ikC, it is true, founder in a tree, but it is also true that she does not founder in a tree, but it is also true that she does not founder in a harbor or in a bay or river. The Boston paper was all right that time, Col. News. Asheville Citizen. It does no good to whine over the past, but to reflect on past experiences is the part of wisdom. Our acts of folly will always be a source of regret to us, but having passed beyond re call, all we can do is strive to avoid falling the second time into the same error. No man is perfect in anything, hence the certainty of mistakes and 1 the necessity of avoiding as many of j them as possible. Durham Sun.

A Style that Will Detract From Some Figures While Adding IXothing: to the Beauty and Symmetry of Others. The crinoline was first adopted to conceal a lack of symmetry in the lines of the figure below the waist, and served the purpose well. The woman with a beautiful neck and handsome arms could safely pass for a well-made woman even though she presented an awkwark fulness of out line elsewhere. But the modern adaptation of the crinoline is only a pitfall and a snare to this sort of woman and especially to the woman who stands badly. The woman who throws her hips forward and flattens herself in the back where her figure, to be beautiful, should curve out gracefully, has reason to grieve at the coming of crinoline. The new skirt fits tight over the hips; below this line that is, from just above the knees, it swings out. Now if a woman is larger in front than she is anywhere else especially if she so carries herself that the most of her bulk is thrown forward and trundled ahead of her, as it were, Si --1 HANDSOME HALF MOURNING. of course all the swing of the dress spreads to the front. Her stiffened skirt will be tapping her heels in the back and scooping along with a snow plough effect in front. This is no exaggeration. I have just seen a skirt worn in this way, and where it was most conspicuous, of course. To add to the horror of it, upon the bodice, at the point in the back, and just where the figure should have been most prominent, was set an upright bow of the kind that is set on hats. On a gracefully curved figure it would emphasize the curve and delicacy of the waist, but on a flat back it merely "added to the general effect of thick ness and filled up whatever hollow there may have been. Take a lesson from this. Do not seize upon a fashion merely because it is new, particularly a pronounced one. Just look over your list of defects first. A woman should dress according to the limita tions of her defects, rather than with a view only to her good points. The latter will take care of themselves, if you are wise and look out for the others. A charming dress of cream colored Indian crepon is pictured above. It is trimmed with black velvet and Irish guipure. It is designed for the period of half mourning. There is a delightful air of elegance about it and its full skirt is eminently graceful. In such a costume the plainest girl would have a certain amount of style, that almost undefinable appearance of distinction that accompanies a hand some toilet. To avoid the sewing together of breadths in making the stylish full skirts, double width material is being used with its width for the skirt length, and a hem sewed along the selvage for the foot of the skirt. If you t'l:VM,r ..-r?-hi-. v a 1 iv r-r., 1 EARLY ANXIOUS. want close fitting hips, gores accom plish it, and goods used this way tends more easily to outward lines. Even narrow goods is thus treated, the joinings being around and around, instead of up and down, and the fulness of the skirt and its outward flare are thus not interfered with by perpendicular seams. Three widths and a half of even narrow goods make a skirt length, and the seams are fin ished with quillings, ruffles, or what you like. Of course, these horizontal lines are supposed to be trying ; but, remember, a woman's height is judged by the length of the line of her skirt. When her skirt slants out, the line it actually makes is a longer one than if it hangs straight down. Thus the i ! Jul ! '' 4 Ji'i' Vi .1 1 . -WW 1 mm; wa il 4 i - - c CT flare skirt really adds to the impression of height, and therefore, these hori zontal lines may be risked with such a skirt while with the sheath skirt they would have been fatal. This little girl stands in a chair where she had eagerly climbed that her hat might be tied on eagerly, because her hat and coat were both new and she welcomed the oppor tunity of displaying them. Is it not often so with children of larger growth? Guided by my picture almost any mother could make the little coat, which was ot fawn colored cloth and had a band of silk of the same shade, finished in front was a rosette. Feather trimming finished the end of the sleeves, and a pointed derby collar set off the neck. The large hat was of felt, with bow and strings of rose-colored ribbon. ESTELLE. New York, April 24. HIS TALENT RECOGNIZED. A Bright Young North Caroli nian's Success in New York. f Newton Enterprise.! It gives us much pleasure to note the success our friend and classmate J. W. Osborne is winning at the New York city bar. He went directly from the Supreme court in Raleigh with his North Carolina license in his pocket, and after a short course in the Col umbia Law School hung out his shingle in the great city among strangers. His wondeiful ability we have never known a brighter man was quickly recognized even in that metropolis, crowded as it is with great lawyers, and soon he had a business that neces sitated the employment of several secretaries and clerks. Two years ago the District Attorney, who picks out the best talent he can find to com pose his corps of assistants in ordei to be able to cope with the great criminal lawyers, appointed Mr. O.-borne one of his assistants. He is now conduct ing the prosecution of a Dr. Buchanan for poisoning his wife, and is display ing such remarkable ability as a de bater and emaminer of witnesses as to attract the attention of the whole country. The New York papers print his picture and give him the most flat tering kind of editorial notices. He is a younger brother of Attorney Gen eral Frank Osborne and an honor to his native State. We expect to see him go to the very top of the New York bar and perhaps of New Y- k politics. He is already one of Tam many's most popular and effective campaign orators. Very Interesting North Carolina Facts. Wilmington Messenger. Think of it in North Carolina there are forty-three mountains 6,000 feet and upward. Then there are eighty two more than 5,000 feet and closely approximate 6,000 feet high. There are innumerable mountains that are 4,000 feet high and approximate 5,000 feet. There are over eighty rivers in North Carolina. Total length between 3,000 and 4,000 miles. Total water power 3,370,000. There are fifteen in number of small lakes, the largest with an area of 100 miles. There are a great number of sounds and bays. Two are large, Pamlico being 75 miles wide, and Albemarle 60 miles long and from 5 to 15 miles wide. The forests of North Carolina are marvellous. In extent, variety and value they are of great importance. It is a fact not generally known that many of the trees and shrubs now familiar to European ornamental and economical uses were introduced from North Carolina. To see how remark able the variety remember this: Of 22 species of oaks in the United States 19 are found in North Carolina, of 8 species of pine in the United States 8 are found in North Carolina, of 5 species of spruce in the United States 4 are found in North Carolina, of 6 species of elms in the United States 3 are found in North Carolina, of 3 species of walnuts in the United States 2 are found in North Carolina, of 5 species of beeches in the United States 3 are found in North Carolina, of 5 species of maples in the United States 5 are found in North Carolina, of 8 species of hickories in the United States 6 are found in North Carolina, of 7 species of magnolias in the United States 7 are found in North Carolina. We get all the facts but one from the valuable new Hand Book of North Carolina, selecting here and there and arranging them for our own purpose.6. According to an exchange the conundrum, "Why is the wind blind?" was asked at a church social the other night. One young lady promptly answered " The wind is a biecze; a a breeze is a zephyr; a zephyr is a yarn; a yarn is a tale; a tale is an at tachment; an attachment is love, and love is blind, therefore the wind is blind." She had three invitations to supper that same night and four young men and the minister wanted to walk home with her after the sociable. 1 .00k out for it.

Two Important Conventions Working With the Same Object m View, viz : The Evolution of the Southern States. Winston Sentinel. 1 While the Southern editors are holding their convention at Washing ton, the Southern Governors are in conference at Richmond. Both bodies have at heart the same interests, are working for one and the same object, viz : the evolution of the South. The " new" South, as we are so fond of styling her, is progressive. Her days of prejudice and conserva tism are over. Her people, largely descended from staunch revolutionary stock, are thoroughly American, and the spirit of enterprise which is ani mating her leading men, and prompt ing them to devise methods of devel oping her myriad resources, is an earnest of the brilliant future which awaits her. The advent of a favorable adminis tration with its assured freedom from force bills, and threats of interference in domestic affairs; the impending dis solution of the McKinley tariff, and the melting of those clouds of uncer tainty which for a time obscured her civil and jolitical outlook, have in spired the South with renewed hope. She is now resolved to advance, and with one blow to serve the Gordian Knot which has so long bound the wheels of her progress. Another source of encouragement for the South, as well as for the coun try in general, is the bright financial situation, as reviewed by the Financial Chronicle of New York in its issue of the 8th. The feeling of distrust and alarm which prevailed in business circles toward the close ot Ilairison's administration, has given place to one of hopeful confindence. There has been an increase, the Chronicle states, in the treasury of gold holdings, and in the total money holdings, an in crease in the available cash balance, an increase of the government's reve nues, with a surplus of revenues above disbursements, and a decrease in the nation's indebtedness. With other parts -of our land, the Southern States have suffered from the financial stagnation which is the in evitable resultant of booms, lhit that lever and its reaction are about over, and the lessons which it taught, it is to be hoped, are thoroughly assimi lated. The South must depend on immi gration for the development of its re sources. Slavery prevented immigra tion, and sealed the doom of native enterprise. Industry advanced only with the growth of the slave population, being dependent solely on their labor. Thus it is that vast regions of fertile and densely timbered soil have re mained untouched and untilled to this very day. In our own state vast min eral wealth lies hidden in mountain storehouses, awaiting the "opening sesame" of enterprising capital to swing back the doors and reveal its treasures. The North is not prejudiced toward the South. Northern people are simply ignorant of the superior natural ad vantages, and the wonderful possibili ties of this beautiful region, which like a modest maiden has never vaunted her charms. The action taken by the gubernatorial convention will turn on the search light. They propose to issue a paper setting forth the riches of the whole Southern country, its min eral and agricultural wealth, and the social, religious, moral and intellec tual status of its people. This paper sealed with the official stamp of these chief executives of the Southern States, and so clothed in authority, can not fail to do wonders toward informing the North, East and West of the golden opportunities lying at their gates. But what shall be said of its influence and power as compared with that of the thousands of Southern newspapers which daily find their way to every part of the Union? By concerted effort, can not the press do more to promote the interests of the South than almost any other agent? Sunday Selections. When a man lives with God, his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the brook and the rustleof the corn. Emerson. Peace is the sentinel of the soul, which keeps the heart and the mind of the Christian through Jesus Christ. I In n ting ton . There are many instances in life in which the most effecual way of confer ring a favor is condescending to accept one. Sir Walter Scott. There is nothing in this world so powerful as kindness. Nothing wins so many hearts as love and kindness, and nothing hurts like unkind words. Clark. Between levity and cheerfulness there is a wide distinction; and the mind which is most open to levity is frequently a stranger to cheerfulness Hugh Blair. The longer I study this world, of which I am so glad to be a part, the more I am convinced that it is just about the kind of world that God has intended. M.J. Savage.
