JONES' WHITE SULPHER SPRINGS. -On last week we
paid short visit to this beautiful summer retreat
We found about two hundred guests in the full en-
oyment of all the good things of this life, which are
furnished with lavish abundance, by the liberal
hearted and popular proprietor W.. D. Jones. Esq,
Bearing in mind, certain remarks in the Peters
burg papers, relative to the beauty of their fair
townswomen, we must do them the justice to say
they were not ILL., founded Petersburg charming.
M represented, in the Ball rom, but truth requires
us to state without fear favor of Affection that at
least three maidens of Warren County, were well
qualified to contest the "paim of beauty" with the
fair Petersburgers.
There were some ladies from Franklin, and the
neighborng countless to whom the epithet lovely
could be well applied. Indeed, after careful ex-
animation of the Ballroom, We give it as ours opin-
ion thatit would puzzle modern Paris, to decide
which of the fair groupe was best entitled to that
famous prize of beauty,-the Golden Apple.
The music is supplied by the well known Frank
Johnston, who despite the weight of upwards Of
seventy winters is light hearted as if he had only
seen twenty. ~ s,
) Franks eccentricitiss, and The comic chaunts Of
his brothers darkes are quite amusing, and bring
forth many q hearty laugh. e.a yst~tss.ss
The high character of the Mineral Wat6ts-the
excellence Of the table, and attendance provided
and the hig social position of the mum erous guests
make Jones's pleasant. resi- epce for the dedicate

health and amusement combined We known Of ne

Our New Court HoUsE-It affords us much
pleasure to learn that Messrs. Mcknight Houston
& Collier, of Greensboro, the successful bid
ders for the job to build the new Court House of
Guilford. We know Of no men more worthy, aud
what is of interest to the public, who will prosecute
the work with as much energy and beauty of work
manship. They generally complete their work in
the time occupied by some workmen in digging the
foundation. Then let us congratulate the citizens
of Guilford for the good prospect of soon having
respectable Court House, honor to the County
and an ornament to the town. -
The contract was closed, we understand, at the
sum of ST., 1888; and the work will commence in
few weeks. Green's. Times

He then makes the following additions:
$2l,9Os,7O2

The aggregate is $176, 3ss,oll, or nearly fifty
seven per cent of the entire foreign exports of the
country. The Nesos remarks further:
"H, now, we add to this already large amount
the surplus productions of our section which we
send to the North for consumption, the balance will
be still more in favor of the South. Our Wheat,
Flour, Corn, Sugar, Rice, Tobacco, and orther arti
ces shipped North, amount annually to very large
sum- The shipment of Wheat from this port alone
to the Northern ports, for the year ending Septem-
Der 80. 1885, amounted IL about 40, 900 bushels
The present wheat crop of North and South Carroll
ma Georgia and Tennessee is estimated by compe-
tent Judges to amount to four and half millions of
bushels TIE larger paat of this will be shipped in
the shape of Flour and Wheat for Charleston and
Savannah, and most of it to New York.
1t thus appears that instead of being almost bank
rupt, commercially, this Mr. Helper and his Nor
them abettors would have the people believe, we
actually contribute more to the productive industry
of the country than does the North, and besides
feeding our own population, we have large surplus
which we send to afford food and employment to
those who revile us and disparage our industry.
We omitted to mention, previously, that the ex-
ports of gold and silver coin and bullion are inclu
ded in the total export for the year. This amounts
to Alas 49, nearly all of which is sent from Bos
tou and New York, and ought, perhaps, to be de-
Quoted from the amount credited to the North, as it
is scarcely considered article Of productive in
dustry." +, i,. .5..,, ~ 80 i2.- lS.-sa

This poor traitor to his native sod and native
skies Has dared to send out among our people cop
les Of the prospectus of bis book" The Impending
Crisis of the South !" i We learn that hundreds of
these abolition mssivesars now passing through the
mails, many 81 thems being directed to persons in
Guilford, Davidson, and Rowan. He win make no.
thing ~ this and If hs hsa been Wise he would
have have, saved his poss.ee. Hinton R. Helpor is be-
meath the lesa Of contempt and in.smy. We shall
not waste words in denonncing him. There are
ssme treasons grosa 80 palpable, and;so heinous
that the whole world sees them, and all good men
curse them, and then. say no more. Such is the
treason of this creature. q
The New York Ddy.Book has condescended, with
the view of exposing him in that City, to notice
briefly his book and to expose its acies and false
hoods. Among other things that sterling print
says: $50 s. ggsSs z9ess
ave have not seen the volume, and hence can
not speak definitely Of its ability but if we were to
Judge of it by some extracts we have SEEM we should
saw the author was either foolish crazy, dishon-
est For instance he cites the hay crop Of the North
as of the items which constitutes its wealth, and
saws it is more valuable than even the cotton crop
OF the South. This is decidedly rich. Why did
not this interesting individual give the estimated
value of the fuel consumed in the North on account
of the severity of the weather? The hay crop is
all lost labor, for it is obtained merely for own
consumption, and affords basis for article of
commerce. 1t may be said to be positive loss in
cident upon the rigor of the climate, for if were
not compelled to provide for the exigencics of win
ter, we might devote the labor to some other pur-
suit So far adding to the wealth of the world is
concerned, the hay crop is like gathering wood for
winter. Cotton, however, becomes permanent ar
ticle of commerce. and instead of being it is
manufactured and made more valuable, indeed, pass
es into almost every form of fabric having perma-
nent worth.
In view of the above facts, we submit the work
we have referred to must be worthless one, for
man who could commit egregious blunder in
political economy can be presumed for a moment as
capable of writing with intelligence. There is more
about this book, however, than mere false logic. 1t
would seem that the author, Mr.. Hinton Rowan
Helper, is any thing but model man, yet it is an
unpleasant but a necessary duty to expose him to
the public. Mr.. Helper has evidently made a mis-
take in coming before the world the assaant OF
the South for his has been altogether too dis
reputable to allow any confidence to be placed in
his statements 3I.sstEs.s a. g-tg,..,
If that, coming as it does from Northern paper,
does not explode the hay crop" humbug, we do
not know what will.

Helper, gives the following useful statistics. The
