OUR SOUTHERN BUDGET
SOUTHERN PINES, NC, June 9

SOUTHERN PINES, NC, June 20.
1 remember years ago, when rainy
days came and it was very, lonesome, of
climbing up into the old red desk that
served for secretaryas we'll as bookcase,
and from the pile Of political pamphlets,
Mothers Magazines, and other light
reading (D such as Bdrtcr's Saints,
Rest, and MdckeHzie'S 5000 Recipes,
therein stored, / sometimes iished out a
copy of the familiar Farmers almanac,
in whose pages l found " surcease from
sorrow.h | remember tia one of the
interesting things l used to read was a
little poetical scrap headed " Jars
which ran something like this;
Jars Of Jelly, Jars OF jam.
Jars OF putted beef and ham,
Jars OF early gOOseberries nice.
Jars OF pickles, jars OF spice.
OF course this dosen't give the whole
poem, for it mentioned something about
others household " jars" in which YOU
and can have no interest, kind reader.
But enough was told in the above four
lines to please my boyish fancy, for Il
conjured up pictures Of sweets purloined (;
of well filed cider barrels and rye straw I;
of broken teacups full of blood-red
currant Jelly, with leaf from the last
winters copy-book tied over the top; of
black crooks in the cellar filled with
good things; and as we always had
something more than ordinarily good on
rainy days, reflection on tho subject of
Jars furnished the sauce for capital
dinner.
All of this was brought up fresh to
my memory the other day by observing
the enormous quantity OF huckleberries
that everywhere grow wild in Moore
county, North Carolina. ! thought that
] had seen something of large growths
of huclSleberries in the north, bat must
confess that never before had seen
such sight as can be seen here now on
every hand.
The woods are literally full of berries.
One may take q large pail, and without
scarcely moving from his track, fll il
with large luscious fruit. And the
huckleherry is nof the only kind of fruit
that can be gathered here as free as
the water that runs. Grapes are TO be
found everywhere I'M the forests; wild
plums may be obtained i'm great abund-
ance all about the fields and clearings; I;
persimmons are more plentiful than
sugar naples are at the north; dew
berries grow in abundance; and this is
the native home OF the blushing lus-
cious peach.
IprOmised In a former letter TO tell
my readers how they could take hold of
some specialties and make fortunes
here In the south, and why not begin

been slow to take advantage. With a
stupidity almost incomprehensible, the
press Of New York has stood back from
the work Of collecting funds for the
erection Of a pedestal for the statue, and
have allowed the New York World to
monOpolize the statue all to ITSELF
Thanks to the Worlds 100000, Miss
Liberty Enlightening the World has a
spot to put her foot on. Friday, the
day fixed for the reception, was without
exception one of the most lovely days of
the season. The pageant on the bay
was one of the most imposing that New
York has ever seen since the opening of
the big bridge. The Frenchmen who
brought Miss Liberty over got grand
reception, the lavish hospitality of the
Knickerbockers making it difficult for
our visitors to keep their sea legs. We
are measurably satisfied, we have got
one of the biggest things out, and when
We got this French lady set up on
American soil we hope it may prove a
bond of universal amity between two of
the greatest nations in the world.
Our new Superintendent of Police is
making it lively among the dry bones.
A special drive has been made at the
gamblers, soiled doves and confidence
men. Broadway is now tolerably safe
to walk in O. nights, and If a
countryman only attends to his own
business and does not forget that he has
wife and children at home, and after
buying his dry goods and hardware goes
straight to his hotel, says his prayers
and plunges into bed. the chances arc
ten to one he will find his watch and
pocketbook safe in the morning. But
If he tarries by the wayside and takes
too much SODA WATER, he is very like
ly to furnish police item.

AFTER trying high license for two
years in Missouri, instead of abandon
ing the experiment the law has been
lately amended SO that wine and beer
license costs the same as license to
sell all kinds of liqnor. 1t was found
that saloon-keepers took out the cheaper
license to sell beer and wine and after
ward sold other spirituous liquors as
well. The amended law fixes $3.50 as
the minimum cost of a license and
1920 as the maximum, depending on
the amount of business. Two things
have resulted from the operation of high
license in Missouri which please the
people of that State very much. There
has been notable decrease of intemper-
ance and notable increase in the coun-
ty revenues. Its effect upon the liquor
trade has been to close up low grogger-
les and to benefit the keepers of respec-
table saloons and hotels.

ADVANCE sheets of the forthcoming
volume of the United States Geological
Survey relating to the mineral recources
of the United States show that the total
product of coal in 1884 was 1O6, 900, 295
long tons, having total value at the
mines of S143, T6s,578. The total pro-
duction of anthracite coal was 1,1G0, 7l3
tons less than in 1888, It's valne being
Sl0,9o5,54S less, the disproportionate
decline in value being due to a fall of
twenty-five per cent. ton in spot
price. The total bituminous coal pro-
duct was 5,l99,039 long tons greater
than in 1888, although its total value
was 81, ,S20, 734 less, the price at the col
lieries having fallen from S1,2O to S1.O5
per ton,

THERE was great enthusiasm in New
York last Friday, the occasion of it be-
ing the formal reception of Bartholdi's
colossal statue of Liberty Enlightening
the World, which is to be placed on Bed
loe's Island. There was an imposing
military procession, any quantity of
brass bands and bunting, and fitting
ceremonies at the City Hall. The work
on the Pedestal is well advanced, and
the statue will be in its place before
many more weeks have passed, and be-
come one of the seven wonders of the

DE. crnus EDISON lectnred' Monday

hi, evening before the American Society of
Public Analysis, in Brooklyn on the
scour &c of typhoid fever in Plymouth, in
this State. Ee said the pollution of the
mountain streams which supplied the
town with water was the prime cause of
the disease. The streets were uncleen,
and disinfectants were unknown until
the malady made its appearance. Such
an epidemic could only be regarded as a
national disgrace.
