District-Attorney Palmer, of West

minor particulars These are clerical
matters which the encouragement does

will thereupon be instructed to take
possession of the canal for the govern

Davis has already submitted plan for

plates the expenditure of about 500

Trucks and boxes on rollers are used

The small quantity of scrap made
in the factory is almost incredible and
is small fraction of what other fac
tories would call great economy with
this comparative waste. Greatest care
is taken with scrap of several sorts kept
separately, such as stemmers' scrap
siftings, floor scrap and stems scrap
All of this is accounted for and the
waste located. Scrap is picked and
sifted before it is given to the stem
man, the upper floor, where it i:
spread out there in layers near the
roof, and as it dries is thrown upon a
ridged bulk, exposing more surface

HENDERSON, N. G.
Some Impressions and Reflections
| Richmond Southern Tobacconist. ]

Richmond Southern TobaccOnist
There is an air of pleasurable refine
ment around Henderson. The contrast
between big city scenes and folks is
not marked in the peoples manners.
The sang froid and urbanity of
tobacco men makes one feel at home,
missing only the hustle and noise of
city life. Neighborly kindness, devoid
of ultra cast distinctions are noticeable.
Sociability and hospitality, without
Objectionable familiarity, makes Hen
derson welcome abiding place. The
business men are intelligent and not
without refinement, unusual in town
growing and progressive in rural dis
tricts. Much of this grows out of good
blood and stock that is the standard,
pitched high, leading up and not
down. The Virginia element there
makes a good mixture. The better
blood prevails and is evident coarse
ness is at a discount. There is no
boom with boomerang. Every step
is solid advance, and permanent. A
good water supply, electric lights and
drainage are cared for. The people
realize their almost entire dependence
upon tobacco alone. There is danger
in this direction of too little diversity
of production. Hay, hogs and hominy
abundant food for man and beast
fruits and grain ought all to be home
made, and never bought outside
Green meadows, waving grain, and
browsing cattle ought to grow side by
side. The annual clover, pretty and
productive, lasts one season, but the
other kind is the permanent improver
of property. Bright tobacco is fasci-
mating and pays when fine, but planters
must supplement this with grasses and
grain. A back country of this kind
builds up town, SO that two years
failure of one staple relied on would
not depopulate the town. This i'm
preston must prevail, and to these
ends should the farmer and merchant
work to avoid set back at any time,
from which it would take years to re-
cover. Monopoly in any sense is re-
active. Competition and diversity of
occupation keeps the wheels from clog
ging, and stimulates to superior at
tainments and pride of profession and
vocation. No machine shop or factory
can vie with an intelligent planter in
variety of products capable of being
turned as easily to profit. With spring
chickens at 40 cents and butter at
same rate and meat and vegetables at
proportionate price, there is big room
for improved farming in Virginia and
North Carolina. There is waste time,
waste places, waste material and wasted
work (without intelligent reading)-
all big gaps to fill up in farming-that
no we'll organized factory could toll
crate. What is said of Henderson un-
doubtedly fits other places. Prosperity
to her.

We now and then hear of and read
of North Carolinians who have in past
years emigrated to other States, espe
cially the West, returning to their
old mother State to share in her new
prosperity. No doubt many do so,
and if those who have gone from her
to other sections should all return,
North Carolina, in that case, would
have the largest population of any
State in the Union. Whilst it is idle
to indulge any such hope, yet we
know that many have already returned
and that hundreds more will do So
North Carolina moves forward with
steady tread in the great march o.
material greatness and prosperity
moves forward to her splendid destiny
at the head of the column of great
States. There is room for all who
want to come. Her lap is full of pre-.
clous wealth, which she is willing to
distribute among her children.-Dur.

JEFFERSON DAVIS.
A Monument to the Southern Chieftain
The following address explains itself:

The following address explains itself:
To THE EDITORS OF THE SoUTH:-We
desire to call your attention to the ad-
press recently issued by Committee of
the Southern Press Association, looking
to the raising of funds sufficient for the
erection of an appropriate monument to
the memory OF the late Hon. Jefferson
Davis. The editors of the South have
taken this matter in hand, and they ap-
peal to the people confident of meeting
with liberal response. 1t is greatly de-
sill ed that every county of this fair South
land shall do itself honor by lending q
hand to the Ell 5ction of a monur emit to
the one man who, above all Others, rep
resesented all that was best in Southern
character. He suffered for the people
OF the South, and now that he is no more,
the people of the South should esteem it
privilege to raise monument to his
memory which shall stand for all time.
The committee of the Southern Press
Association who he We this matter in hand
are:
Hon. John W. Childress, of The American,
Nashville, Tenn, Hon. Patrick Walsh,
of The Chronicle, Augusta, Ga. Capt.
John Langdon Weber, OF The News and
Cou .er, Charleston, S. c.,
They have appointed Thursday, June
18th, as the day for united effort to be
made through the entire South to raise
funds for the monument They appeal
to every newspaper in the South to see
that a meeting of some kind is held at
the town or city where it is published.
Mass meetings of the people, to be adj
dressed by popular orators and the taking
up of voluntary collections, are sug-
gested as one plan of raising the needed
money. The main point is to see thatsome-
thing is done. If the ladies will arrange a
concert or other entertainment, money
can easily be collected in that way. By
all means enlist the Confederate survivors.
The Committee greatly desire the vari-
Gus press associations shall be informed
On the night of June 18th, what action
have taken and the amount raised.
Please see that such q report is furnished
them.
When the money is collected forward
it to Capt. John Langdon Weber, 10Th
Broad Street, Charleston, S. c., who is
Treasurer OF the fund, and who will receipt
for the same.
The building of a monument to the
Hon. Jefferson Davis rests with the
Editors of the South. Shall it be built?
Will you do your part?
The location of the monument and the
design will be determined when it is known
how much money the Committee will
have at their disposal. Those questions
should not be discussed now.
