The South Must Raise Foodstuffs.

In an editorial published last winter
upon the Importance of the South ra ising
a large corn crop this year, the Manufac-
turers' Record stated that the grain crops
Of 1890 were so small that even if the
yield of 1891 should be up to the highest
mark, there would be a full demand for
all the corn produced to counterbalance
the deficiency in last years crop. This
was based simply upon the normal con-
sumptive requirements of this country
and Europe, and no account was taken of
any unusual demand from Europe The
failure of European crops assures de.
mand at good prices for every bushel of
wheat and corn that we can spare, and
we will enter the crop year of 1892 with
very low stocks of grain. Even should
1892 duplicate the enormous yield of
cereals in 1891 and Europe have fair
crops, prices must inevitably be we'll
maintained, for in July, 1892, our stocks
Of wheat and corn will be very nearly, if
not quite, as low as in July, 1891. More
over, the opening OF the German and
other markets to American pork will
materially help to increase the price of
bacon and corn.
Fortunately the farmers of the South
have this year raised from 5000, 900, to
100000, 900 bushels Of grain more than in
1890, and the South is made richer by at
least SIS, 100000 by it. But next year
must show a still greater increase in
wheat, corn and oats in the South, and
also in the raising of provisions. 1t may
be accepted without question that grain
and provisions will continue high for at
least two years, even if 1892 gives US the
largest crops even produced, and if the
crops Of that year should be small the
Southern farmer who has to buy his food
stuffs will have bad time of it,
The Manufacturers Record believes
that every paper in the South and every
branch Of the Farmers Alliance should
press this matter upon the attention of
Southern farmers. 1t cannot be done too
often nor too vigorously. We are in an
era Of high prices for breadstuffs, and in
all probability there will be no change
for at least two years. The prosperity
of Southern farmers depends upon raising
an abundant supply of wheat, oats corn.
provisions, and other foodstuffs, whether
cotton advances in price or not-Manu-

AN INTERESTING RELIc.-One of tn e
objects of interest which will be on exhi-
bition during the Southern Exposition at
Raleigh, which begins next month, will
be the wooden frame Of the press upon
which the Mecklenburg Declaration of
Independence was printed. This old
press has a history and is relic to be
preserved at the State capital after the
Exposition is over. 1t is interesting not
only for the use made of it but to illus
trate by contrast the great improvement
made in printing press machinery since
the days when it was young. 1t is the
property of E. B. Drake, Esq, of this
place. and is 115 years old. 1t was used
by him in the publication of the Ashe-
boro Bulletin, 1856-'57, and later in the
publication Of the lredell Express, and
was only saved from destruction when
Stoneman's raiders burned the office of
the Express in 1865, by reason of the pre-
caution taken by Mr.. Drake, who had
removed it to his barn before the Federals
came and even then only the frame was
saved, the pIatten, and other parts, of
wood, having been burned. Instead of
one pull to print one side of newspaper
on this old press, two had to be made
the last one by running the form still for
ward to receive the impression, thus
making double press work. Mr.. Drake
shipped the old press, or what is left of it,
to Raleigh last Friday. Statesville Land
mark.

The Stockings" Still at the Custom House in
New York.
Samuel D. Frew came to this country
from Belfast, North Ireland, six years
ago. He liked the American climate and
the American people, but he could not
endure American stockings. He longed
for the comfortable, home-knit hosiery of
old Ireland. And so finally he wrote to
his mother in ireland to send him some
stockings. She was glad. to please her
boy, and so she knitted six pairs of Irish
stockings and sent them to her son.
But she didn't write about them, for
she wanted them to be a surprise, and
the first young Frew knew of the matter
was when bulky document arrived from
the Custom House. 1t was as follows {:
Saumel D. Frew to the Morris European
and American Express Company, Gus
tom House brokers and forwarding
agents, DR..
To specific duty on one pound man.
ufactured wool, at 493c. 5 O.5O

Reimhurscments, charges and
United States bonded storage and
Garage, shipping Or delivery, 20
Postage. etc. D
Custom House entries, etc, so
Total, 1921
When Frew looked at the bill he
thought the Custom House was at fault, so
he went home and hunted up tariff book
and figured out just what the tariff ought
to be. Here is the way he made it:
Ad valorem duty on articles valued
at So, at 40 per cent. 5 80
Specific duty on one pound of man
ufactured WOOL at 35c, 35
Total, $115
Frew went back to the express Office
indignant at the thought of being so i'm
posed upon, and handed the clerk the bill
as he made it out. The clerk looked at it
and laughed. "Oh, that was under the
old Tariff biIl," said he. "This other bill
is made out according to Mr.. McKinley's
new Tariff laws"
"You won't accept my bill, then ?"
said Frew.
"No," answered the official.
Frew thought for moment. Then he
called the clerk aside and whispered con-
fdentialIy:
"You tell that d-d Mckinley that
he can have my stockings"
The stockings are still at the Custom
House, and after the expiration of the
required time they will be sold at public
auction, same as the Astor dresses were.

A few days since Capt. J. B. Smith, the
efficient sheriff Of this county, and himself
gallant soldier in defense of the South
received the following letter-so fraught
in every line with the tragedy of history
that naught of comment by us can add to
it's force:
Mr.. Jas Smith, Sheriff, Fayetteville N G.
Dear Sir Il desire to know the where
abouts of Capt. B. Robinson, who was
promoted from 1st Lieutenant March 81
1862, to Captain of Company A, in the
9Th Regt. n. G. T. To be more ezplicit,
and say what I desire with him or with
some Of his family: Capt E. Berkeley,
our superintendent, in Richmond, Va,
was in my office yesterday morning, and
said that, while his family was in the
mountains of Virginia this summer, his
young son found an old sword in the Bull
Run Mountains, about half way between
the Thoroughfare and Aldie Gap. It was
very badly rusted, and the scabbard had
rotted off, leaving only the brass bands, on
which was engraved the following in
scription.
Capt. B. Robinson,
5th Regt,
N. G. r.,
C. S A.
| called on Col. Thos. S. Kcnan This
morning, and he directed me TO write you,
and probably you could give me some in
formation about it. [ am sure, if Capt. B.
Robinson is alive, he would like to have
this old sword, and, if not, no doubt his
family would prize it very highly for it's
history. 1t has, no doubt, lain right
where it was found for nearly thirty
years Mr.. Berkeley requested me to find
the owner, and if you will aid me, I
will be very glad to deliver it to them.
Yours very truly,
H. W. MILLER,
Second Vice Pres. R. & D. r. r. Co.
Benz. Robinson entered service as End
Lieutenant in Capt P. J. Sinclairs Co. A.
of the 9Th Regt. N. c. t., commanded by
the distinguished Duncan X. MacRae-a
regiment which enjoyed the enviable dis
tinction of being designated as the "Fight-
ing Fifth" He was promoted to the 1st
Lieutenancy and then to the Captaincy
of the company in which position he
served with conspicuous bravery until so
severely wounded as to be incapacitated
for active service. We doubt not that the
ambulance surgeon, in dressing the wound,
removed the sword, which was sub
sequentIy forgotten.

it's brightness; but it is stainless still, for
