AT the Central concert on Thanks
giving evening Madame Montgom-
cry, Of New York, scored signal
success as a brilliant and accom-
plished pianist. Her artistic rendi-
ton won her immediate and enthu-
siastic recognition. The New York
Quartette covered itself with well
deserved honors. Miss Emma Mag
nan has voice Of unexceptlonal
sweetness, which is full of expression.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. Jones displayed
much of the elements which distin-
guish the true artist, Mr.. B. Ed
wards has an exceptionally fine bass
voice, in fact, one Of the richest it
has been our good fortune to hear.
The Quartette was great Improve
ment upon the one from Washington
last year.
The NJ. S. Quay Club had con
cert rendered them by Prof. f. J. r.
Jones' orchestra at the club house on
Tuesday afternoon, which had the
effect of filling the club with the
members and friends. The playing
of the orchestra was grand and the
selections were of a choice character.
The idea was a good one and fire..
quent repetitions during the winter
would prove beneficial to the organi-
cation.

plantations and their acreage, the
WELD of the various States, the con-
sumption Of spinners in various
counties, the past receipts and cx-
ports with their value; also the

Congressman Aiken has avowed
his opposition to the Blair educa-
tional bill, and says that he will do
what he can to defeat it when it
comes before the House. The peo.
pie of this Congressional District
do not expect miracles, and would,
therefore, have been amazed if Col.
Aiken had approved the education-
al bill.
Col. Aiken is opposed to all pub
lie education and all free schools.
lie is one of the few remaining ante
betiu0a statesmen. He delights in
talking about the good old schools
in which such men as Calhoun,
Webster and Aiken were educated.
His opinion is that the individual
should educate himself.
1t may seem strange to some peo-
pie that our Congressman is in
favor Of appropriating public money
to establish national seed house,
for the free distribution of seeds to
the people, while he is opposed to
the appropriation Of fpublic money
for the free distribution Of educa-
ton among the people.

A CARD.

Nv recent ill-health has impress
ed me with the necessity of a rest
from active business. Moreover
this rest is advised by my physician.
Acting upon this advice which is
strengthened by my own expert
ence, l propose for time at least
to retire from the active journalistic
duties which for long period have
devolved upon me in an editorial
career, as we'll as in the more labo-
rious efforts as publisher Of the HER
AID. These labors and duties l
have resolved to oturn over to the more
active management Of my son, Mr..
THoS. EDWARD GRENEKER, whose
business qualities l trust fit him for
the position. This retirement l hope
will not be for long, and that after
a short time of rest andrecuperation
l shall be able to return to them
with renewed health and strength; !;
and in the meantime, guided by eN-
perience, all the advice and help l
can bestow in the advancement and
interest of the HERALD will Of
course at all times be given. In in
Producing my son to the confidence
and kind regard OF my patrons l feel
q pardonable pride, believing him to
be entirely qualified for position
of such responsibility. Though
young he exhibits an adaptability
and taste for business as gratifying
as it is satisfying to me, and feel
that the readers of the HERALD
will experience no change. except
the change of Improvement which his
better health, younger years, and
greater energy will be able to give
them. In word the HERALD will
be published in the name Of Mr..
Tuos. ED. GRENEKER, and I trust
thatth record his industry and ener-
gy will help him to maintain, will be
alike satisfactory to me and to the
readers of the HERALD.

THOS. F. GRENEKER.

Kind reader, my fathers bad
health has rendered it in the opin-
ion of his physician, necessary for
him to retire for q time at least
from active business. The business
management Of the HERALD he has
intrusted to me. hope | shall be
able so to conduct it, that when the
time comes for me to give an ac-
count of my stewardship there shall
be neither blot nor stain on my bal
ance sheet. The business | know
is arduous and full of responsibility,
but with his mature advice | shall
hope to merit your esteem and kind
regard, l shall gain experience
with coming years, an experience
youth must perforce feel the need of,
and as necessity knows no choice,
| assume with becoming modesty |
trust the grave responsibilities of
the new position so unexpectedly
thrown upon me. His retirement
from active work necessitates one Of
three things, either the giving up Of
the publication of the HERALD al.
together; the selling out to a second
party, or the taking hold Of it my
self; Of these / assume the latter, as
4 matter of honest maintenance for
his family and myself, and this Go
with cheerful alacrity. This is q
necessity and a sacred duty reader,
they must be supported. In the
hope that l shall merit your contin-
ued patronage, l hope to do nothing
to bring the blush to my cheek. or
injure the reputation which my faith
er's long and honorable course has
gained him. In q word, whatever
of energy, industry, youth, health,
and office training, received from my
father, will enable me to bring to the
management Of the HERALD shall
be ever used to promote the best
interests of its many readers, and
make it worthy Of their generous
patronage and support in the future
as it has been in the past.
THOS. EDWARD GRENEkER.

LAND LOANS.

We are not among those who re-
gard the foreign land loan asso-
Citations now operating in our State
as an unm:xed public benefit. On
the contrary, we regret that any Of
the landowners Of our county have
felt it necessary to borrow money
from these associations. The lien
law, with the high rate Of interest
that inevitably attends it, is bad
enough-there is no doubt about
that; but we prefer the lien to the
mortgage. AS has been said, the
lien executes itself at the end of the
year; and if the crop does not sat-
isfy it, it leaves q simple, unsecured
debt.
The rate Of interest which the
loan associations profess to charge
cannot be called extortionate; but
the rate which they do actually
charge is somewhere in the neigh
borhood Of twelve per cent. 1t is
carried up to that point by fees and
commissions; but it is heavy per
cent. all the same. Then, the man
who borrows from these associations
is so hedged about by conditions
and restrictions as to be dangerous
" in the hands of the lender. He
must keep his house insured, for
the benefit Of the corporation; he
must pay the taxes on his place
and on the mortgage that covers it;
he is not allowed to cut timber on his
land, except for the purposes Of the
farm; and if the association is
forced to foreclose the mortgage, he
is bound by the agreement to pay
all costs, including the lawyers
fee for collecting. The debt runs
FIVE years. the interest to be paid
annually; but the company reserves
the right to foreclose whenever the
borrower breaks any of the num-
crous conditions Of the mortgage.
We do not hesitate in saying that
one should be very slow to put him
self in the power of foreign capt.
talists, unless he is driven to that
course as a last resort. 1t is better
to borrow money at home; and few
capitalists would refuse to lend up
on such security as that required by
the loan associations.
We do not find fault with the
men who control these corporations,
for it is perfectly legitimate that
they shouldi seek the most profta-
bic investment for their capital;
but we regret tnat our people can
not borrow money nearer home.

A short time ago Col. Z. B. G.
Cash published q card in the Col
umbia Register, declaring that he
wanted $4,000 for the relief of the
destitute citizens Of his County,
and promising good security to any
one who would lend him that sum.
The NearS and Courier, through
its reporters, has thoroughly in
vestigated the matter and it ap-
pears that there is no foundation
whatever for Col. Cash's report that
the people of Chesterfield County
are in danger Of suffering from
want of food. 1t is said that the
card of Col. Cash was received by
the Chesterfeldians with feelings
of mingled wonder, annoyance and
indignation. Some take a chari-
table view of the matter and say
that the old mans mind is failing;
others say that it is q trick by
which he hopes to win the sympa-
thy Of the people; all agree that he
could have borrowed the money
without any trouble if he had need
ed it.

The spasmodic effort that is pro-
duced among the military COM
panies by the announcement that
the Inspector is coming is amusing
to behold. 1t is not too much to
say that they make q gallant effort
to meet the Inspector, with an erect
front. Nor is it too much to say
that voluntary military service,

To my comrades and friends on
