SWEET ORONOKo AND
FLANAGAN.

Make.fine mahogany wrappers
and filters, and very much OF the
eastern tobacco soils are better
adapted to this type than to
lemon colored wrappers and cut
tiers.
Eastern planters ought to pro-
duce what is wanted, ii they ex-
pu.t to obtain remunerating re-
turns for their crops. Therefore,
plant Sweet Oronoko and Flana-
gan for filters, and the newest,
earliest and best yellow kinds for
brights; plant small crops, raise
no nondescript.
To grow fine Tobacco oil any
type, the first thing requisite is
good seed OF some variety, bo>t
adapted to the typesought to he
produced. The bright varieties
will not make rich, heavy, waXy
goods. nor will the dark varieties
make fine yellow, silky goods;
while cigar leaf requires varieties
specially adapted to stock suit
able for cigars. The cost Of seed
for a large crop OF Tobacco il
very little, and yet one dollar
properly expended at this point
has saved hundreds Of dollars in
the INCREASED value Of the crop.
Take no risk, but use only the
best varities which are essential
in making a fine staple, which al
ways sells ut remunerating prices.

THE TOBACCO TAX.
A Synopsis of the Report Sub
mitted by Mr.. Randall.

tlltLAOa Ny wa
The report submitted by Mr..
Randall, accompanying the
Cowles bill, says the bill repeats
all internal taxes on cigars, che
roots, cigarettes, and onsnuff, all
descriptions of manufactured to-
bacco, special taxes on manuiac-
turers OF cigars, on dealers in leaf
tobacco, on retail dealers in leaf
tobacco, on dealers in manutac-
tured tobacco, and on peddlers OF
tobacco.
The secretary OF the treasury
estimates the surplus for 1890 at
$53,OO0,0O0. This bill reduces
taxes $30,000,000, so that ii
passed it will leave but S23, 000,-
600 surplus and relieve the peo-
pie from unnecessary taxation
Attention is directed to the fact
that internal taxes fall most
heavily upon the farming inter.
ests and that all internal taxes
that were imposed upon capital
have already been wiped out
The committee concluded by say
ing that the bin holds out a sim
pie and practical method of re
ducing the surplus revenue. Mr.
Forney submitted a minority re
port which covers the Cowles bill
pure and simple and reduces thu
revenue $24 100000.

Silver Money and the Farmers
There was pith and pointin the
petition presented by Senator
John W. Daniel from the farmers
of Virginia, asking for the full re-
monetization OF silver, 1t is GER
tain that so many causes have
operated to drain the South OF
money, that the farmers gener-
lily make the merchant both
banker and merchant at such
exorbitant rates that butlittle is
left to the farmer, and a silver
dollar is q rarity to the common
field laborer
1t is estimated that THERE'S less
than four dollars per capita for
each inhabitant of the State OF
North Carolina.
This is by far too small an
amount to do business with, and
there is a great necessity for the
farmer to 60 on Il ruinous credit
But the first thing by which our
turner's can recuperate, is to rals'
their own supplies. This once
gained, there may be some hope
OF surplus dollars in the pockets
of the farmer and farm laborers
Then the tull reconciliation o
silver, abolition OF all interna
revenue by which severalmlllion'
are dragged out the Statet ocom'
back no more: running the gov
eminent, State and National, oil
the strictest economy ofthe Older
times. Light, very light take
must be the watch word now
Then an efficient anti,dog Law
and a good pro-sheep law, an'
large focks. These things vii
be- better for our farmers thai
dibbling in double politics.

A correspondent of the Las Vegas On. M

than thirty years ago the writer of these
lines was very young teacher in a female
seminary in a small village of Southern
State The village, far away from the great
thoroughfares of the State, and without
any railroad facility, was very quiet, and
the appearance of the old mail stage, which
passed our ''Tusculum' three times a week,
was the greatest event of the day.
The principal of the seminary, an old,
venerable Methodist preacher, was un-
doubleday the first man in the village He
was an Englishman of good family, great

STRANGE SUGGESTIONS.

IT is regarded as a death warning in Ger.
many to hear cricket's cry.
RAIN is, in some parts of our own coun-
try, expected to follow unusually loud chirp-
ing of crickets.
FLIES are sometimes regarded as furnish
ing representations of the weather. and
even of other events.
SPANIARDs, in the sixteenth cen fury, be-
/ lieved that spiders indicated gold when they
were found in abundance.
ALTHOUGH a sacred insect among the
Egyptians, the beetle receives but little no
tice in folk lore 1t is unlucky in England
to Kill one.
IN Germany it is said to indicate good
luck to have a spider spin his web down
ward towards you, but bad luck when he
rises toward you.
THE grasshopper is sufficiently unwel-
come visitant of himself in this country, but
in Germany his presence is further said to
announce strange guests.
In proof of the superstition common
among actors that they die in groups Of
three, the deaths of Davidge, Wallack and
Warren are cited.
In Lower Canada and the Eastern States
children are told when tooth comes out
that the new tooth will be gold one if the
tongue is kept out Of the cavity.
WELSH tradition says bees came from
Paradise, leaving the garden when man
fell, but with Gods blessing, so that wax is
necessary in the celebration of the mass.
THE ancients generally maintained that
there was close connection between bees
and the soul. Porphyry speaks of "those
souls which the ancients called bees"
AN "old woman's" saying, handed down
by many fond mother, tells US that to lose
tooth or an eye is also to lose some friend
or kinsman, or Is, at least, attended by some
Ill luck.
IT is said that upon the backs of the sew
en-year locusts there sometimes appear
marks like letter of the alphabet. When
this looks like w it is thought that war is
imminent.
TEETH have been worshiped, and, in fact,
are venerated as relics in some religious
shrines. Buddha's tooth is preserved in a
temple in India, and Cingalese worshiped
the tooth Of a monkey, while an elephant s
tooth and sharks tooth served a similar
purpose among the Malabar Islanders and
the Tonga Islanders respectively. The
Siamese valued monkeys tooth so highly
that they are reported to have offered the
Portuguese, into whose hands it had fallen
by the fortunes Of war, 100000 crowns
for it.
OEhMAN IrlDeS Regarded stag beetles as
diabolc, and all beetles are detested in Ire
land, more especially a bronze variety
known as "gooldie." 1t is also believed
that to see a beetle will bring on rain
storm the next day. There are said to be
no spiders in Ireland, nor will spiders spin
their web in an Irish oak nor on a cedar
roof. A spider is said to have saved Mo-
manned from his pursuers by spinning it's
WEB across a cave where he sought refuge
