The journal of the late Alfonso
Kar.c, a famous gardener as we'll as a
novelist, relates an amusing episode
i'd Balzac's career. Talking with KaSr
once about gardening, Balzac sudden
ly remarked:

of them. But in order that they may;
be able to eat them they must be able
to buy them at a franc apiece, and I
am going to raise %pineapples for the
people on my estate at Vile d'Av-i
ray"
aBut you can't raise tham for a
franc apiece, Balzac."
sHa!" he exclaimed. sIcah't! Sir,
nothing is impossible to genius.
Don't you think that IL a man Of the
highest intelligence put his whole
mind to the task of raising pine
apples at a franc apiece, he could
do it?"
That very day Balzac took steps
toward hiring a small shop in Paris;
sWell, what are you going to do
with that?" Karr asked. (:
Il I'M going to sell my pineapples
to the people in it,"
"But," said Karr, "it takes three
years toget your first %pineapples after
you begin to raise them; and what
r you going to do with your shop
all those three years?"
"Bah!" exclaimed Balzac, contempt
uously. "Three years! Why, don't
you know, man, that nothing is inn
possible to genius? Don't you sup
pose that If a man of the highest
intelligence gave his mind to pro-
ducing pineapples in n year he
could do it?:"
Balzac departed, full of his project,
but he had forgotten all about it in
about three days. Forgetting it's
own impracticable schemes is fortu-
nately me of the things that are not
impossible to genius.

A MANUFACTURING TOWN.

There is a prevailing impress
sion among those who are not
acquainted with the situation
here that there are no manufac-
tories in Winston Salem worth
speaking of save the tobacco in
dustry.
The SENTINEL shows the fall
lacy of this conclusion this after
noon in a Lrief review of Wins
ton-Salem industries, leaving out
the manufacture of tobacco al
together.
ALI these industries are estab-
lished on a solid bases and con
Quoted by their owners as legiti-
mate business enterprises. They
are not the property of watered
stock companies conducted at a
loss to boom land interests, as is
often the case in towns that are
trying to attract outside capital.
They are profitable enterprises
too and demonstrate the fact
that there are great possibilities
here for building up a great city
with p variety of extensive man
ufacturing interests,
There are advantages of raw
material and shipping facilities
that were not here when these
industries were established, and
there is a growing demand for
just such goods as can be manu-
factured here.
The fact that several new en-
terprise have been started here
recently is an evidence that CAPT
tai is beginning to see oppDrtun-
tiles.

niggardly and cannot act
well. They favor no schemes
that they cannot reap some re-
ward for irectly or indirectly,
and oppose every thing tina t they
do not originate. They are simp-

No town will ever succeed that
stops tn listen to their narrow
minded whining. Let Their friends
reason the matter ont in what
ever light they may have, but
the facts rem ain that they have

The only way to break this
hateful spell is to shake loose
from these miserable men (who
are but an incubus upon the pros
perity of any community, and
start out upon broad and liber-
al paths, ignore the teachings of
these narrow minded, conceised
braggarts.
Have confidence in your town

WINSTON HAS NOTHING to be
ashamed of in her record of pro-
gress for 1892 as far as it has
been made up. The capacity of
the tobacco manufacturing in
dustry has been increased five
million pounds; the railroad fac
ilities have been greatly increas-
ed by the coming of the Norfolk
& Western railroad; nearly 300
houses have been built and as
many more are under contract;
the building o. a 100000 cot
ton mill is assured The most
complete hotelin North Carolina
has been opened; an extensive
cannery and broom factory will
soon be in operation; every bust
ness and every enterprise has
grown; several hundred people
have found homes in Winston
Salem, and are here to be perma-
nent citizens. With this much
accomplished much more can be
done during the remainder Of the
year.

MORE PENSIONS MORE TAXES

In view of the enormous and in
creasing drain upon the Treasury for
pension payments it would be only
honest for political conventions in
adopting resolutions calling for more
pensions to attach a clause recon
mending increased taxation for their
payment. 1t is evident that further
increase in the pension list cannot we'll
be made without more taxation 1t
is not good financieripg, either public
or private, to increase expenditures
without increasing income, and at the
rate the pension agents are getting in
their work, increased taxa'i ion or re-
pudiation cannot be long deferred

And this is the truth OF it.
Folks idea is to mislead the
northern soldiers by promise of
more pensions, but the fact re-
mains if this is-done there must
necessarily be and increase OF
taxes on the whole country in
order to meet this increase. as
the present expenditures, if fully
met, will more than exhaust our
national treasury. Then to meet
this increase the southern farmer
must bear his part of the burden.
