THE N. c MIDLAND R. R.
How the Work is Getting on and Other
Notes of Interest

-cpr i4i Correspondence &, the Se.,i ri
For the benefit OF the public who
may desire to know, especially your
numerous Dilvie county readers. who
feel greatly interested, particularly
"Berk," of Cana, and his doubling
friends whose faith needs strengthen
ing, allow us to briefly report the
progress of the North Carolina Mid
land Railroad.
There is at present twenty miles Of
road bed graded, and, with the ex-
ception of bridges and trestles, ready
for track BY the 1st of April ali
additional mile will be finished, max
ing p in all, and leaving seven miles
yet to- grade. This seven miles in
cludes all the old work done on the
Mocksville end, and is consequently
already half graded. There is, how
ever, some right heavy work to do,
particularly on Dutchman and
Laish's creeks, and it will take the
present force about five months to
finish it.
The maximum strength of the
force is 125; the minimum, 100; pres
emit, ITO.
On April LIST the present camp will
be moved over on Dutchman creek
within six miles Of Mocksville. Work
is teing actively pushed, and will
continue to be pushed until the road
is completed-that is, SO far as the
States contract is concerned, which
embraces the grading of the same to
Mocksville.
We presume that the North Car
DINA Midland railway is a moral GER
tainty. We presume that the Rich
mond & Danville Company who are
building it, are men of business and
men of brains. If the presumption be
correct, the road will be built. The
grading has cost them several thou
sands of dollars and the road, when
completed, will be of immense advan-
tage to them, both financially and
otherwise. They will hardly throw
it away-no; not unless they go blind
and crazy.
This road will add greatly to the
prosperity of the phenomenal ''Twin-
City" And tits with pride and pleas
ure that we mark her rapid and
steady growth, for there is typical
North Carolina town, filed to the
brim with North Carolina pluck
brains and hospitality. Winston's
citizens have made her past and pre-
sent and will make her future. 1t is
not necessary to send her money
abroad to advertise in Northern pa
pers her manifold opportunities for
profitable investments. That would
show woeful lack of enterprise.
Keep your money at home. Patron
ize home papers and good will come
of it. "a Citizens" suggestion is
eminently wise and timely. Do as he
suggests and it will be a paying in
vestment. CHARLES F. WILSON.

On to Madison.

On to Madison.
The Madison Leader of last week
says:
GA representative of the Leader
had pleasant conversation with
President Fries, of the Roanoke &
Southern Railroad, a few days ago,
and was pleased to learn from him
that the bridge across Dan river, near
Ladd's ford, is completed, and the
rails and cross-ties will be laid next
Monday or Tuesday, and the cars
will run across for the first time on
Wednesday. The road is graded to
the w. B. Carter plantation, where
some heavy trestling will have to be
done. When this obstacle is over
come the work will be pushed on to
Madison. We are assured that trains
will be running into town within six
ty days"

Valuable Information for the Farmers
Who Sell on this Market

Valuable Information for the Farmers
Who Sell on this Market
Mr.. NJ. A. Walker went down TO
Durham the first 81: the week. we pre-
sumo on tobacco business.
Mr.. LOckett, of Lockett, Vaughn &
Co. has been going the rounds of the
State markets. He saw plenty of
bright tobacco, but no good plug
stock like he finds on the Winston
market.
Last week sales closed about noon
Saturday, with but little, if any,
change in prices Buyers were some
what weak on some kinds during the
week, but we could not see any de-
cline worth noticing.
Mr.. John Englehard, who has been
buying tobacco here for Strauss &
Raub, left Monday for his home in
Durham. He is through here for this
season John is good boy, and we
hope he will come back again next
year.
There is considerable tobacco in
town today, all the ware
houses being full. All goods are SELL
ing remarkably well, and buyers are
bidding with animation and liberali-
ty. All grades are doing we'll, and
farmers are leaving town we'll salts
fed.
We hear considerable complaint
about tobacco plants having been
killed by the late cold spell. In some
sections there seemed to have been
serious damage, while in others there
will be plenty Of plants, with some
to spare. We predict that there will
be no trouble about plants. There is
more danger of there being too much
than too little.
This week Mr.. r. 0. Bass, of ST.
loan, Surry county, came to Wins
ton with his tobacco on the Wilkes
.bOrO extension. His neighbors said
his tobacco was not worth more than
an average of IL cents per pound,
and he had offered it at IA cents He
sold it here for 16 cents. This is
mentioned to show how the farmers
who sell on this market are satisfied.
Tobacco always brings as much in
Winston as it will on any other mar
ket, and generally more.
Farmers are buying heavily of fer
filters this year. They are buying
it cheaper, too, than formerly, and
we believe they are generally paying
cash for it. That is good. Tobacco
farmers ought to he able to pay cash
for fe, tilizers, thereby buying cheap
err and saving an enormous interest.
Some of the best tobacco we have
seen sold on this market was pro-
duced from fertilizers taken from the
barn yard. However, there is no OBJ
lection to commercial fertilizers, pro-
vided you buy the right kind, pay
the cash for it and use it with judg-
ment.
Speaking of fertilizers, we were talk
ing with an intelligent farmer a few
days ago about fertilizers, ETC. He
said he had sold over 81 900 worth
of tobacco from a one-horse farm. He
had-the money to pay for his fertili-
zers, and had gotten a pamphlet, Civ
ing the analyses of the different
brands sold in the State From this
he had selected the fertilizers that
stood the highest test, and had Or
dered his supply direct from the fac
tory. He was a man of sense He
says furthermore that he would not
plaat any more the next crop than
he did the last. That's right. Make
all you can, but make it good if pos
sible.

Edison's Active Bran.

Edison's Active Bran.
The following facts concerning
Thomas Edison, the great inventor,
who last week declined an invitation
of the Chamber of Commerce to visit
Winston, will be of interest to our
readers:
After the death of Gen Grant, Otto
Won Bismarck was supposed to be
the greatest smoker among famous
men, but Inventor Edison has put
the great Prussian into the second
rank. The inventor smokes almost
all the time and never any except the
strongest cigars. Making believe that
he is ten times more deaf than he is,
and smoking 5 or 20 jet black .1ong
nines' a day, are his. amusements.
But there is less of both fun and pre-
tense about Edison, than there is
about any great men of the day. He
literally works all the time that he is
awake. For him to see any mechani-
cal device fail or give annoyance is
enough to set his brain at work de-
wishing an Improvement upon it; it
makes no difference whether it is a
patent match that doesn't always
light, or a toboggan that lies idle
waiting for snow and ice. Coming
over from Europe last fall he noticed
that there was a great deal of guess
work and inaccuracy about taking
the sun" in cloudy weather. Before
he left the ship he invented a means
to take the sun, though it should be
obscured by the densest fog magma

the recent good prices for hogs stimulated the

increase 450, 600 hogs. or is per cent. Prices
ceded considerably, some markets recovering
portion of the decline at the close; under the
lessened receipts, the decline tending to reduce
shipments. The quality is almost uniformly
good, but the average weight is not so heavy as
last year as rule. indicating that the market
ings are of younger average age and that there
has been an effort to hurry stock into marketable
condition.
In the provision trade there has been some
tendency to lower values for lard and meats,
which close ten cents per 100 pounds lower than
", Elk ago at Chicago for July delivery. The
domestic call for meats is good, showing indica-
tions of enlargement. One feature calculated to
be somewhat adverse to lard is the abundance
and CHI eapness OF butter, and this is likely to
continue for some time to come. The export
movement Of hog product continues large, the
past week showing considerable gain over corre-
spending period last year. For the three months.
March to June !, the foreign movement of
meats will be % per cent. more than last year,
and lard over IS per cent. gain.

Weather clear and very warm to-day, but all

There are no indications Of dull month ahead
Merchants really expect to 90 steady business

All family supply dealers are receiving and
there is no scarcity OF any commodity. and
prices are generally satisfactory to both pro-
ducer and consumer. Changes in quotations to-
day are few and of little Importance,
An analysis of Mr.. Ellison's cotton consump-
ton hgares for the seven months ending with
April shows an increase of IL, 0S0 bales OF 400
pounds. If reference is made to last years fig
ures, says the Dry Goods Economist, it will be
seen that revision thereof has increased the
weekly consumption so that the actual differ
is an important item, when it is remembered
that this years figures viii probably be sub
iected to an increase in 1891 that will show the
actual consumption so muc larger than it now
Is as to increase the above figures from ga, 200
bales to 340, 900 bales
The receipts of cotton at all the shipping ports
for the week ending to-day have been 1874 bales,
compared with Is, go bales last week, and 1897
bales the same week last year.
Total receipts at all the shipping ports since
September have been 5. 49,, $50 bales, against
40, 40S bales the same time last year, and
5, 3h6, SOB bales in 1888.
The stocks at all shipping ports amount to
