DEATH OF FARMER BENNETT TUCK.
The Lesson of His Life-Money Can BE
Made by Farmipg-Nsw Mail Routes.

Correspondence OF the Richmond Dlspateh.1
LLorps, Va, July S.-Mr. Bennett Tuck,
we'll known as the most successful farmer
perhaps In this county, died suddenly at
his residence, Edge Hill" near Lloyds,
on Thursday morning. He bad been COM
planning for "a week or two, but started to
one Of his farms and was taken i'll on the
way. and returning had barely time upon
reaching home to divest himself of his
coat and boots before he died, complaining
of the pain about his side and chest. he
demonstrated in his life that by properly
directed effort and strict economy money
can bs sde at farming.
A new mail route, branch or the route
from Pamela to Tappshsnnock, has been
I. established from Lloyds TO Now Town,
three times q week. leaving Lloyds p.
Ri. Tuesdays. Thursdays, and SATURDAYS.
aud returning. after connecting with Pa
nola mail. at p. NJ. Mail leaving Rich
mond by the early morning. train will reach
Lloyds on ths afternoon of the same day
and Occupacla and Lorstto next morning (:
whereas by Milford it does not reach Lo-
fetto till II NJ. OccupZcia 1 z. NJ, and
Lloyds p. NJ. nsxt day. But this is only
on alternate days. and the new. route
should be made daily and ex-
tended to Colonial Beach, on the
Potomac. where it might connect
North by the Baltimore and Potomac road
| TO Pops's Creek aud give this whole sec
ton northern mail q day earlier than by
Milford, and cross and connect four mail
routes on which mail gees now In an al
most circuitous way TO reach many points.
( 1t would give US the Richmond mail day
earlier. Here Is an opportunity for an en-.
terprislng contractor to make money and
carry many passengers going north TO Co.
lonisl Beach, as it would save time and
money, and our worthy member of Con.
gress, Mr.. Jones. would do himself credit
| to promote the enterprise.

A Suggestion as 70 the srreet-Cars.

There is no city which has better street
car service than Richmond. Therefore,
We have no complaint to make of that
service. But the crowding of the cars on
Tuesday last. aud often on occasion. sug
gests that our street-railroad system is not
worked for all 1t is worth"
The passengers who crowd the street.
ears on Sunday afternoons and on other
special occasions consist Of persons who
ere willing to take tho risk OF standing up
and Of being crowded uneomfortably In
order to secure ride There are as many
more persons who would ride IL they were
sure OF securing seats and OF not being
sammed. jammsd. aad packed " into a
car a. sardinss are packed into the little
boxes which contain them.
Will Il be SAID that the cars carry ali the
passengers who present themselves? Why.
so they did when the cars on Broad street
were drawn each BY q single horse and car
ried only few hundred persons dsy.
The people did not expect TRANSPORTATION
on the cars and made no arrangements TO
DO thus TRANSPORTED. But a. soon "A the
accommodations we're increased the num-
Der Of passengers was increased. In pro-
portion ~ tho completeness OF the accom-
modations which tbs stress-cars afford will

A Philadelphia Proposition.

When Congress meets there will be so
many financial schemes presented for its
consideration that the members will not
be able to decide at once in favor of any
one of them as having all the features
which it ought to have in order to be en-
titled to enactment into q law. Neverthe-
less, 1t will 60 bard but the fnanciers
will devise some plan which will command
the support of Congress rs well as that of
the President.
The Philadelphia Record proposes that
Congress shall so modify the law taxing
the circulating notes of State banks "a to
provide that all banks shall be exempt
from its operation which shall furnish
ample security for the redemption of its
notes by having q specie reserve and by
depositing interest bearing bonds as the
national banks are now required to do.
That is to say. the law levyisg a tax on
the circulating notes of State banks shall
be continued in force as to all banks
which shall not give ample guarantees that
their notes will always be redeemed when
presented for that purpose. The Record
asks, IF Congress can tax all State-bank
issues, why might not that body remove
the tax from such only as should rest on a
solid specie paying basisl We quote:
"Certainly il would seem to be within the
financial statesmanship OF the day TO devise
plan by which state-bank issues can be made
absolutely safe and the important element Of
national supervision maintained. These must
be conditions precedent to the removal OF the
tax. There are plenty Of hrst-class securities
that could be- made tho basis OF the circulation
OF these State banks"
This Philadelphia scheme provides for
national supervision aud commenGs itself
in that respect to persons who do not de-
sire to debase the national currency nor
have currency controlled by forty-four
different States. No scheme should DO
entertained for moment which provides
for debasement of the currency or for It's
total Standardization.

Tillman's I,innor-LaW.

Our information is that Governor TILL
MANS liouor-law has already been declared
constitutional, aud If this DO so there IS
not much of victory for the opponents
OF the law in the decision rendered by
Judge HUDSON on Friday.
II may be their purpose to secure re-
hearing with the hope that now Judge
HrpsoN's view may be sustained bg the
Supreme Court reversing itself. Beyond
this 1t seems to us that Judge HuDsoS''

After being in town for q few hours they

up and landed them in Jail until the case
can be further investigated. They seem
to be perfectly unconscious of the de-

In placing the above stations before
the public at this low service fee, we do
50 trusting you will take advantage of it
and improve your stock, knowing it will
prove good investment.
The question with farmers is, what
sort of 4 colt they will find it the most
profitable to raise. This OF course Do
pends to a great extent on the ability and
taste OF the farmer.
There are some farmers, however, who
havsa taste for good horses, suitable for
use on the road, and tor fne carriage
teams and general purpose. Ii is to this
class OF intelligent breeders that | wish
to state few facts for their consideration.
For superior horses OF the roadster or
carriage type, there is always market at
prices that return good proht to the
breeders. There are many who breed q
poor class of mares to superior stallion,
with the natural results that they never
have anything for sale that is wanted for
any but the most ordinary use; OF this
kind of horses the market is always over
stocked. II farmers would breed their
best mares to the most popular standard
bred stallion. and the produce came a silly,
they would then have a standard piodac
ing mare WHEN bred TO q standard stallion.
The third generation will place you where
you belong, possessing standard stock.
For such stock you always find a ready
market at good prices. Don't let the fee
charged settle the matter, but consider
that the increased value of the colt will
easily be much more than the amount OF
the fse. The best is none too good. Then
why breed to dunghill 1t cost no more
to raise coed one than it does \ poor one.
In breeding the above stations we in
sure you colt, the service Zee to be paid

Little Rock. These conventions are pro-

which they meet. and we had hoped that
the convention at Forrest City would be a
success.
