THELEAF CURE UPON WIRE
The Comparative Value OF Cur
ing Tobacco Upon the Stalk.
III. 8. Battle, Director EXperimen
Station, Raleigh, n CT

III. &. Battle, Director Experiment
Station, Raleigh, n c.
The comparative test instituted near
Oxford, n. c., to show the relative
value between the common method of
curing tobacco upon the stalk and the
new method of curing the leaf as it
ripens has been completed by the North
Carolina Experiment Station.
The following final results are given
as matters Of interest. The detailed
progress Of the test and the methods
adopted to insure accuracy can now be
found in bulletin 80 of the station,
which will be sent free to all residents
of North Carolina. One acre Of grow
ing tobacco was carefully measured off
in a field where the plants were as
Identical as possible in size and hardi-
ness. One-half of the acre by the leaf
process i'll Snow barn manufactured
by the Modern Barn Company, of
Oxford, n. c., and their wire tobacco
sticks were also used for hanging the
leaves. The other half was cured by
the common method of stalk curing in
the common log barn. Absolute i'm
partiality was observed, and the
strictest precautions were taken to
prevent any one or anything influence
ing the result of either cure. The
tobacco was graded by an experienced
grader, and five experts independently
of cash other valued the piles as they
lay on the floor, without any knowledge
of the origin Of each pile. The values
were obtained by multiplying the
weight Of each pile by the average OF
the five values placed upon it. Suisse
quent sale on the floor of the Farmers
Alliance warehouse in Oxford con-
tirmed very closely the correctness Of
the averages.
The weights and values are as fol-
laws: For the half acre, the common
stalk cure method gave 32625 lbs,
valued at $500, an average of Sill. "a
per hundred pounds. For the other
half acre, the leaf cure method gave
454 lbs, valued at 500. IA, an average
OF 1891 per hundred pounds. The
cost of labor and wood used for each
method must be deducted from these
figures. The results will then be: For
the stalk cure, total value 1922 for
the leaf cure on wire, total value $50
81 a difference in favor of the leaf cure
Of s2O.66 per half acre, or 80 per
one acre.
The experiment was made in the
interest of agriculture solely. If the
existing methods for curing tobacco
can be improved, and better substi-
tuted, our tobacco growers should
know it. 1t is assuredly the duty OF
the Experiment Station to ascertain
this fact and let it become known.

FATHER AND son.

Thomas Settle, son of the late Judge
Thomas Settle, Of North Carolina, is
the Republican candidate for Con-
grcss against Hon. A. H. A. Williams,
the present Democratic member, in
the Fifth district In last weeks issue
of the Reidsville WfekI, Editor
Webster has a lengthy article, which he
concludes as follows
We beg to reproduce all extract
from a letter written by Judge Settle,
the father OF Solicitor Settle, from
Jacksonville, Fla, February nth,
1888, to a citizen of this county, and
published extensively in the State
press at the time, who reminded him
that his name had been suggested both
for the Governorship of this State and
the NiCe-Presidency. His reply shows
two things beyond the shadow of a
doubt I. That the bitter hatred of
the Republican party for the Southern
soldier stood forever between anyone
who wore the gray and the Presidency
or NiCe-PresldenCy. :. That no such
prejudice existed in the Democratic
party. Innumerable evidences show
the hatred of the Radicals towards the
South has increased rather than dmin-
IShed as the wears 60 by.
Is it not passing strange to see
the son kissing the hand that placed
4 brand of dishonor on the brow OF
his own father and his fathers COM
rades in arms? But we forbear. The
following is the extract referred to
above

IuENG was an enthusiastic meeting
of Democrats At Goldsb0r0 last Satur-
day, when Hon Elias Carr, Gov.
JARVIS and Hon. Geo. ". Sanderlin
spoke. There was large attendance,
and ali unexpected thing took place
Wayne county IS the home of Dr.
ENum, the Third party nominee for
Governor, and in the audience was
D. II. Hardy, the man who in the
hird party convention moved to take
down Skinner and put up EXum. At
the conclusion of Governor Jarvis
speech, Hardy went forward and took
the stand and moved to take down
lZum and substitute Elias Carr, the
l'cmocratlc nominee, declaring that
L. could not longer affiliate with the
Third party, but would vote the Dem
cratic ticket. He said he had become
thoroughly convinced that the only
relief sought must come from the Dem
o"ratic party, and hence he should
support that rarty's nominees as he
had done in the past.

LOSING ND.

Third party;sm is losing ground
every day. The people are thoroughly
disguised with its course. They see
that its purpose is to defeat Demo-
crazy and put the Republicans in
power. \ few weeks ago there were a
number of good men in our county
who leaned to the Third party, but
nearly all of them have given up such
ideas now and are just as good Demo
Gratis as ever. We have never seen
such change in SO short time. The
action of the Third party leaders is
enough to disgust any one. When
November comes our people will be
found in the Democratic column
fighting for Democratic rule and
honest government - Murtreesboro
/ndtt
We are very much gratilied to read
such reports from our native (Hert-
ford) county. We say to our Demo
cratic friends there, that if any mum
Der should persist in the purpose to
vote the Third party ticket, it would
result in ruin to this State, and stay
off indefinitely the relief they SO much
need, and are justly demanding
! Demand reform inside the Democratic
party. We will aid you all we can.
There is no other place to get it.
State Oh, 0nitle.

WHILE some of Third party organs
and speakers try to make the people
believe there IS nothing in the Force
bill and the tariff worth considering in
a serious nature, both are vital issues in
this campaign. As the Richmond
Dispatch says, "the Force bill is the
sum OF all the Republican villainies
and warns us not to allow sleep to our
eyes until after November s next, when
we expect to bury the Republican
maIignants ont of sight once for all,

WHAT the Reidsville WeekV says
in behalf of its people we think can be
said of others. It says:
The great bulk of the Peoples party
in this county want to do right. They
feel that tire are wrongs to redress,
but they do not want to hit their
friends. Put the plain truth before
them, free from coloring, and they
will not vote bad government upon
themselves at home.

II is funny to hear some of our
Third party friends assign as reason
why they cannot vote for Elias Carr
and Badly Williams, the fact that they
will vote for Cleveland, and yet their
party has nominated for Sheriff OF
Guilford, Joseph Hoskins, Esq, who
openly says he will vote for Harrison.
Did any one ever say consistency was
a jewel? 1t is criminal to vote tor
Cleveland, but a virtue to vote for
Harrison.-W e65tsy's Ueeklr.
And DR.. Exum, their candidate for
Governor, intimates that he would
vote for negro (or for ]. B. Eaves, OF
infamous circular fame, since he &C
Cepts 4 nomination denied to another
when the test was made as between
Carr and Eayes), yet we hear nothing
said against him by Third party Or
gans and speakers on this account.
The whole thing is to be run in the
interest Of the Republican party, how
ever much honest and well-meaning
men who are being led that way may
deny the truth, and that is why the
leaders are silent on these things.

that the Democratic party has not had

Since Harry Skinner wa Missed
down and kicked out of the nomlna-
ton for Governor after being put up
by the Third party convention tor
saving that as between Carr and Eaves
he would vote for Carr, the question
has been asked how would DR.. Exum
vote in such a contest. That question
vas answered by his acceptance of the
nomination under the Circumstance he
did But he has given more definite
expression as to his political standing
BY declaring that he would prefer
negro rule to the rule we have had here
tofore. A dispatch from Goldsborc
dated August IS, says:
Several prominent Democrats wher
reviewing here, this afternoon, in the
presence Of "Governor" Exuin, the
