The Memphis Bridge.
Cnr state Oh rnniolp

Special Cor. State Chronicle.
HIGH Po1Nr, June 14.-While
crossing the Memphis bridge last Sat-
urday it occurred to me that an ac-
count of this latest nineteenth century
wonder would interest the readers Of
the CHRONICLE. This is the only
bridge across the Mississippi after the
Missouri, the Ohio and the Tennessee
have emptied their volumes into it.
The cantilever principle was applied
in its construction and l was especially
impressed with its symmetry and ap-
parent strength. 1t required nearly
four years to build and sink the
caissons, erect the stone piers, and
rivet together the nine thousand tons
of steel used in its construction. With
its approaches it is three miles long
and it cost $3,OOO,OOO. This bridge
gives an all rail Southern route from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. Memphis
will be made great railroad centre
and Southern agriculture and manu-
featuring will be greatly stimulated.
The West and the South which have
so many interests in common will be-
Gin to co-operate with each other as
never before. The two sections will
tend to become one industrially and po-
litically. Since its opening with impos-
ing ceremonies on the 18th ult., gov
ernors, senators and other dignitaries
lending their presence to the occasion
the time between Kansas City and At
lanta has been shortened two hours.
The Kansas City, Fort Scott and
Memphis and the Richmond & Dan.
vile railroads now run trains from
Kansas City to Wilmington in fifty
five hours. The chair and sleeping
cars on this route are handsomely fur
nished and the traveller enjoys every
possible luxury. No longer can it b,
SAID that there are no trains in the
South that equal in speed and equi ,
ment the best in the North. Leavin!

CONSIDER THIS.

Those "ho advocate high tariff say
that it increases the value of the far
mer's land by increasing the demand
for its products. This is favorite
doctrine with protectionists. Ask one
why be favors protection and he will
answer at once, because it opens
market at home for the products of
home farmers Let the figures answer:
Ohio is great manufacturing State,
and yet within the past ten years the
farm lands in that State have decreas-
ed in value $ll5 100000. During the
same period city real estate has in
creased in value $l5S, 100000 Thus
it appears that protection does not
benefit the farmer, but what the tariff
lords collect from the farmer they
spend in the cities This is what the
republican tariff has done. The agri
culturists should make a note of it.
lNAUTHOKIZEDA AND UNSANC-
TONED.
We take pleasure in laying before
our readers the following letter, receiv-
I'd from Mr.. NJ. L. Wood, Lewiston,
BERTHE county. n c., dated June II,
1892:
"The Farmers Adrocate, of Tarboro
y. c., has published my name as a
member of the executive committee ol
the peoples party for Bertie county
AS | am not in sympathy with sucf
party, believing that all grievances car
be better redressed in the democratic
party, of which | have ever been ano
am still a member, | beg that you will
at once say to your readers that sucf
publication was unauthorized and with
out having in the slightest degree m,
sanction"
Mr.. Wood, as we have alway
known, is good democrat, and lon,
ago informed US that the farmers coul,
best secure the relief demanded througl
the agency Of the democratic party
with which he intended to act.
THE COTTON REDUCTION.
The Commercial and FSnancio
Chronicle has published some figure
showing the reduction in cotton acreag
in the United States The following
is the table prepared, the figures in tn
first column showing the acreage 70
1891, and those in the second tn
acreage for 1892:

Nothing like it for dyspepsia and in
digestion. Simmons Liver Regulator is
a safe, sure cure.
The state chronicle., 1892-06-15

The planting of cotton in the Indian
Territory and Virginia, which does
not amount to much, has been de-
creased also. The average decrease
of acreage is very nearly y per cent,
and total reduction of acres is more
than 100000. All of this is due to
the movement started at the Memphis
convention. With such showing
the prospect of diversification is de.
cidedly promising.

CHEAP BRICK At LAST,

We have relieved the pressure on the
brick question. Last year Raleigh people
had to pay 50 per 1000 for brick. Wehave
put up machine on the new system, which
turns out excellent brick. and the result is
a reduction Of 81 per 1000. Our brickyards
are near VAIN ut creek on the Watson farm
and there is no better clay in Wake county
1t will be to the interest of all contract.

THE EMPRESS EUGENE.

Her Character az Dsiineated by an
Unfriendly English EDITOR.
The Empress Eugene was by no
means bad woman, but she was q
singularly foolish oIo. Brought up
by mother, who was little more
than an adventures, occasionally
living in Spain and often roaming
about Europe, she became strong
headed and narrow minded. with all;
the superstition OF q Spaniard and;
with all the tolerance OF a lady who
has lived much at continental water
ing places. The emperor fell in love-
with her and married her. He himself
was q dreamer, but amiable in his
relations and as honest as was con-
sistsnt with rs interests. His sur
roundings were thoroughly bad. They
were, in the main, mon who were more
fitted to be billiard markers and card.
sharpers than to be invested with
power in a state; shady financiers and,
women who would have been more at.
home in the demi.monde than In q
court. France, with all her wealth
was in their hands and they picked
and stole to their hearts content.
The empress did her best to white,
wash this sepulcher OF honor and
honesty and to maintain an outward
semblance Of respectability. But un-
questionably she was ambitious and
really fancied she possessed political,
talents. As the emperor's health
waned her influence increased. France
under her auspices was first sacrificed
to an endeavor to maintain the tenn
poral sway of the pope at Rome, and,
then to recover the ground the empire
had lost in public opinion by war
waged for dynastic purposes.
When this war went against France
she forced her husband to make an
attempt to re-establish q lost cause
by an advance which every person
with the slightest military knowledge
knew was utterly hopeless. Widowed
and childless. she Is an object Of sym
patty, but IS Empress of tho French
she made history and must accept the
verdict OF history.
