FIGURES FOR FARMERS STUDY
THEM.

The census report on the cotton crop
for this State is now out, and 1t repre-
sents some curious facts well worth the
attention, not only of farmers, but OF
all business men as well. While the
increase of acreage and number of bales
have steadily grown during the last
decade, the rate per acre has steadily
declined, the exact figures being in
1880, $50 acres to make a bale, while
in 1890 it required an average of 3.41.
AS more fertilizers have been used, it
is now clear that the good soils are fast
going to the sea, and the increase comes
from an extended area, cheaper Guilt
walton and higher stimulants. Here
we have at once the cause of an in
creased production and at the same
time a fall in the value Of land.
Here, too, Mecklenburg has a doubt
full honor. In 1880 Wake led in the
number of bales, but now old Mecklen-
burg comes to the front with %, 700
bales grown on 81, sos acres. These are
startling facts and they should arouse
all business men to the inevitable
change before us. Cotton is done for
in all the upper Piedmont section. Our
true remedy lies in stock ard dairy
products, root crops, small fruits and
the like, and if the Agricultural Col
Iege and the Experiment Station would
only aid us in devising plans and
methods for saving and shipping such
crops, rather than increasing their
quantity, the public money spent on
them would be better appreciated,
The start of a creamery has already
had a good effect on the value of lands
in Mecklenburg, but the farmers them
selves had to lead the way.-Charlotte

tree concealed him from the sharp eyes
OF the bruin, should they chance to
open. His plan was a desperate one
and should it fail, only his sharp ak
would stand between him and death to
himself and child. Slowly and so care
fully that not even a twig snapped to
betray his presence, the strong armed
woodsman neared the tree. At last he
drew himself up directly behind it and
listened intently. From the noise
made by the bears deep breathings he
knew that the beast was still sleeping
soundly. Asofter sound fell also upon
the fathers ears and nerved him with
redoubled strength and courage. 1t
was the low, gentle brea Kings of his
sleeping child. With a fervent prayer
to God for help, Mr. Ovel stepped eau
tlously out from behind the shelter of
the tree and in a moment more stood
at the head of the bear. The sharp AK
swung noiselessly into the air and
hung for a second, poised high above
his right shoulder, while the piercing
eyes noted the exact spot on the hairy
head where the keen blade was to fall;
then, like a flash Of lightning, the AK
decended and with a crash buried it
self in the head of the bear.
Mr. Ovel did not wait to see what
the effect of his blow was; but catch
ing Maud up in his arms ran as fast as
his strong legs could carry him for the
house.
When he returned, shortly after
wards with his rifle, he found the bear
dead. The huge animal had hardly
moved after the ak crashed into his
skull and death must have been almost
instantaneous.
Mr.. Ovel skinned the bear and used
the pelt as a rug; and ever after this,
when friends came to visit the Ovel
family, little Maud would explain the
presence of the bearskin rug to them
In these words: "This is tn, horid
bear who stoled my pas dinner an my
pa chopped his head open with an ak, "
and then she would add, with a merry
laugh: 81 an Sarah Ann thought he
was a dOggie an we went to sleep right
in his arms. guess you never seed a
little girl who went to sleep in a bears
arms before, did you2" and, with a
look which told how proud she was of
this are distinction, she would turn to

A BOY ON GIRLS.

the funniest [genuine] boys compost

They think more of dress than any
thing, and like to play with dowls and
rags. They cry if they see a COW in

They stay at home all the time and go
to church every Sunday. They are al
ways sick. They are always funny
and making fun of boys hands and
they say how dirty. They can't play
marbles I pity them poor things.
They make fun of boys and then turn
round and love them.

HONORABLE IMPRISONMENT.

A case was on trial in a Kentucky
court. An old man of somewhat dis
reputable appearance had just given
important testimony, and the lawyer
whose cause suffered by his statement
strove in every way to confuse and
trip him, but in vain. The witness
stuck to his story, and did not lose his
temper in spite of the irritating man
ner in which the cross examination
was conducted.
Finally in the hope of breaking
down the credibility of the witness, the
lawyer at a venture asked:
"Have you ever been in prison9"
q have" replied the witness.
"Ah," exclaimed the attorney with
a triumphant glance at the jury. q
thought as much. My I enquire how
long you we're there?"

answered the witness quietly, with a
manner that was interpreted by the
lawyer as indicating chargrin at an
unexpected exposure.

yer, feeling his case already won.
THAT was a heavy sentence. [ trust

the fact. Now, sir, tell the jury where
you were confined"
"In Andersonville, replied the ole
man drawing himself up proudly.
There was a moment of silence, the

the courtroom rang with cheers which
the court officers were powerless tt
check, and in which some of the jury
joined.

waited to hear the verdict against him

HIGHLY AMUSING.

Practical jokes are never quite SO
satisfactory as when they react or the
perpetrator. A gentleman who is
noted for his fondness for pleasantly
attempted the other day to have a
little amusement at the expense of his
wife. He was passing along the street.
when a tory in the window attracted
his attention. The more he examined
it, the more he became convinced that
it possessed great possibilities in the
way ofEmystifying his friends and
thus entertaining himself. He pUr-
chased one and started for home in
great glee.
The toy was a little contrivance with
two rollers and a crank, like a clothes
wringer. B2was very appropriately
called a magic money maker, for if a
piece of paper were put between the
rollers and the crank turned, there
would come out on the other side a
new crisp bill-one dollar, five dollars,
ten dollars; in short, a bill Of any de-
nomination within the limit of the
operators financial condition.
The secret was simple enough. Both
rollers were hollow, into one several
bills were carefully rolled. The turn
ing of the crank rolled the piece of
paper into one cylinder, and at the
same time one of the enclosed bills
was rolled out of the other. The secret
was supposed to be known only to the
operator.
To insert a plain piece of white or
brown paper between the rollers and
take out of the other side a ten dollar
bill was of course a mysterious and
interesting performance, and The gen
tleman promised himself considerable
amusement.
He secured several new ten-dollar
bills, and after practicing the trick
once or twice went home.
"What have you got there" asked
his wife.
"Sh-" he exclaimed, raising his
hands warningly. Don't say a word;
I'll tell you~all about it after awhile.
It's new invention I've got hold of,
and our fortune is made"
He put the little machine carefully
on the table and asked her to cut him
a piece of paper of the size of a dollar
bill, which she did.
Now" he said, 81 suppose you
would like a nice crisp en-dollar bill,
wouldn't you3'
"Why," she replied, touched by
such spontaneous and unusual gener-
osity, CT dare say I could find plenty
of uses for a new ten-dollar bill, or
even an old one"
every we'll, my dear, you shall have
one And starting between the rollers
the piece of paper she had cut him he
turned the crank, and out from the
other side a beautifully crisp green
back, which he passed to her, saying,
II think you will concede, my dear,
that it is the quickest way of making
money you ever saw"
She stood for a moment speeches.

claimed: Why, what in the world
