little cost as any Others in the world.
The average ore is as good as any else
where, but it is refractory. Listen,
then. What is now dormant, unproft-
able, and lost can be made the most
profitable, and this country rendered
the richest in the world.
Erect proper reduction works, and
treat the ores for what they contain.
An ore is not worth what it contains,
but what one gets out of it. First,
work the ores for the sulphur in them,
and render this profitable for sulphuric
acid, and agricultural fertilizers. Then
the gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc
they contain will be rendered free,
and can be saved as by-products, and
at profit, and without going to
Africa or anywhere else. This can
be made the Ell Dorado of modern
times, and with precious metals ex-
tracted at profit, forever settle the
monometallic and bimetallc financial
question.
We have the richest country in the
world, if we only take advantage of
opportunities.

Sarcastic but Sensible.

We take the following from the
Salisbury Herald. The experience of
the Kansas editor is not unlike that
of many others, and there is a great
deal of sound sense in what he says:
A Kansas editor sarcastically an
nounces that he wants to buy sack
of flour, a pair of three ply bottom
pants and straw hat, and is ready to
receive lowest bids for same. lie says
that is the way merchants do him when
they want two dollars worth of work
done. The Kansas editor is not the
only one who is troubled in this way.
1t is a general practice with everybody
almost to beat down newspapers.
When a paper worth $500 is offered
for sl.O0 people try to get it for less
and advertisers frequently want space
! for about one fourth Of its value. And
there publishers, we are sorry to say,
who are willing to accept work at the
ridiculous prices offered. When edl-
tors have so little regard for the value
of their publications we are not sur
prised that outsiders consider them
as comparatively worthless and think
they are conferring favor by giving
them patronage at any price. The
evil is largely the fault of the papers
and will not be remedied until pub
fishers themselves show a higher ap
preciation for their business and mani
fest more independence and backbone
in accepting contracts for work O.

the author of the valuable standard
work, Gems and Precious Stones. -
North Carolina is acknowledged to
have the finest exhibit of food fishes in
the Fisherles Building, 81 or 38
species being shown. 1t is considered
the best State exhibit there of its
kind.
In the Agricultural Building North
Carolina can duplicate any farm
product of any other exhibit, a state
ment which no other State can
reiterate. She beats all creation on
giant peanuts. Mr.. Griffith, in the
Forestry building, said North Carolina
is exhibiting good commercial timber,
making an especially fancy display.
Hers was the most instructive exhibit,
it seemed to the Observer, in the
Forestry Building, all sections of trees
being accompanied by photographs
of the whole tree, as it stood in the
forest
Talbot de Grancy, commissioner
from The Hague, Holland, wrote OF
it: The finest exhibit in the House.. "
The Observe, copied large number
Of complimentary notices from the
registry books, but lack of space
prevents their reproduction. The herb
and berry exhibit of Wallace Bros, OF
Statesville, came in for its share ol
commentator.
The following awards were made in
this department to our State:
Wallace Bros, Statesville, collection
of medicinal flora.
Stale board Of Worlds Fair mana
gers, Raleigh, yellow pine posts, planks,
photographs, maps, etc.
Spirittine Chemical Company, Will
mington, distilled pine tar.
Western North Carolina Railroad,
collective exhibit Of woods.
G.. w. Vanderbilt, tree section,
manufactured articles, maps, photos,
etc.
The States horticultural exhibit was
not fancy but was fully representative
of our fruits, etc. Indeed, in none OIL
our exhibits was extravaganza or gaud
mess aimed at. We did not always
catch the eye of the mere sight seer
but we arrested the attention of those
who meant business.
Commissioner Peter M. Wilson and
his colleagues have done all that could
be done for the State. Mr.. Wilson
spared no pains TO advertise the State
to strangers, and also to make North
Carolinians have good time. All
those to whom he was so attentive will
doubtless rejoice to hear of his good
luck in securing his new position in
Washington.
There can he no doubt that the
money North Carolina has expended
in Chicago will bring forth fruit {
hundred fold.

you throw yourself upon His sovereign
mercy and thus return Ia God lie will
accept nothing at your hands. T. Do
not imagine yourself to be in a justified
state for you know you are not, and
you know that God ought to condemn
you, and if he justified you in your
present state your conscience could not
Justify Him. Come, then, to Christ ut
once, like a guilty, condemned sinner,
as you are, own up and take all the
shame and blame to yourself, and be
lieve that Notwithstanding all your
wanderings from God, he loves you
still, that he has loved you with an
everlasting love, and, therefore, with
loving kindness is drawing you.

HENDERSON, N. G.
The Leading Market in the
Bright Tobacco Belt.


Bright Tobacco Belt.
The Richmond Iobacconist has been
publishing brief descriptions of the lead
ing tobacco markets of North Carolina,
their characteristics and the peculiar
varieties of the leaf grown tributary
thereto, &c. In writing of Henderson
Editor Dbrell says:
Henderson is geographically fiat, to-
baccographically famous, socially quiet
and pIeasant-barring election times.
Her tobacco belt is the same embraced
in that of Durham and Oxford. Here
we find the same class of fine bright fue-
cured, the aroma of which is distinguish
able from all others, when once known.
1t is par excellence the cigarette tobacco.
1t is the fine, rich, well bodied wrapper
section centre, with filters and smokers
on a par with the first named. 1t is
we'll nigh altogether a tobacco burg. 1t
has no noted plug factories, as it should
have, with the wealth of some OF her
leading citizens. 1t is lively retail
trading point in all needed articles for
planters, who are we'll to do around this
place.
The wealth of Henderson is in more
concentrated form and is less divided
among her citizens than in Oxford. The
market flourishes by the energy Of the
few, among whom might be mentioned
the wealthiest of North Carolina leaf to-
bacco dealers and the most prosperous
of warehousemen in the State. The
warehousemen and buyers are all the
same-both buy and sell on their own
floors without comment or hindrance.
The livest yarehousemen are those that
back the other buyers up to best prices
and get credit and more custom for this
double work; but it pays for all that.
The American Tobacco Co., years ago,
established its chief rehandling buildings
here, to which much tobacco from other
smaller markets is shipped for rehand-
ling and asserting. This plant was due
to the Allen and Ginter Co., of Rich
mond, built before they were consoli-
dated. 1t is a model plant OF several
superior buildings.
Henderson has several tobacco ware
houses, among these a brick storage
warehouse, doing good business; also
one OF the best arranged and largest OF
brick sales warehouses in the State.
The place has two smoking tobacco fac
tories and a number of enterprising
buyers.
There is no superior tobacco to that
that comes to Henderson. Her banks
are in good condition and we'll managed.
Henderson tobacco, largely on sale in
Richmond and much put up especially
for this market, gives satisfaction wher-
ever it is shipped, and her shippers and
owners are men of responsibility and
noted energy. The dollar and the weed
are mighty in fourishing Henderson.

be more desirable, for building up SO

The Southern Planter.

The Southern Planter which, under the
management of Editor Jackson, has
made a high place for itself among agri-
cultural journals, is contemplating
broader fields and new pastures. The
Planter has just purchased the american
Farm and Horticulturist, of this city, which
will be consolidated with the Planter, and
is contemplating a change to semi
monthly instead OF monthly periodical.
The Planter under the able editorship of
Mr.. J. F. Jackson, has attained the first
position among Southern agricultural
Journals He will hold the position OF
editor-n-chief of the consoldatedpa papers.
Mr.. NJ. F. Thompson, Of Rio Vista, Va,
has been the publisher and editor OF the
American Farm and Horticulturist up to the
consolidation, and will be Interested in
the new journal, and contribute the re-
suits of his experience as a grower OF
fruits and vegetables for market.
This consolidation and the other i'm
provements attendant upon it will make
the Southern Planter and American Farm and
Horticultuist one OF the leading agricul-
tural publications of the United States.

r. The backslider in heart will be
full of his own disgraces. He is pro-
fessor of religion. The eyes of the
world are upon him, and all his incon-
sistences, worldly mindedness, follies,
bad tempers, and hateful words and
deeds disgrace him in the estimation Of
all men who know him.

q. The backslider in heart will be
filled with his own tempers. Having
forsaken God he will be sure to have
I much to irritate him. In backslldden
state he cannot possess his soul in pa
tience. The vexations of his back
slidden life will make him nervous and
irritable. His temper will become ex-
plosive and uncomfortable.

s. The backslider in heart will be
full of his own delusions. Having an
evil eye his whole body will be full Of
darkness He will almost certainly
fall into delusions in regard to doc
trines and in regard to practices.
Wandering Oh in darkness as he does
he will very likely swallow the grossest
delusions. Spiritualism, Mormonlsm,
Universalism and every other ism that
is wide from the truth will be very
likely to gain possession of him. Who
has not observed this in backsliders in

t. The backslider in heart will be
filled with his own bondage. His pro-
fession of religion brings him into
bondage to the church. He has no
heart to consult the interests of the
church or to labor for its upbuilding,
and yet he is under covenant obligation
to do SO, and his reputation is at stake.
He must do something to sustain reli-
gious institutions, but to do SO is a
bondage. If he does it, it is because
he must and not because he may.
Again he is in bondage to God. If he
performs anything he calls religious
duty it is rather as a slave than as a
freeman he serves from fear or hope
. Just like a slave, and not from love.
Again, he is in bondage to his own
conscience. To avoid conviction and

D. The backslder in heart shall be
full of his own crosses. All religious
duty will be irksome, and therefore a
cross to him. His state of mind will
make multitudes of things crosses that
in Christian state of mind would have
been pleasant in high degree. Having
lost all heart in religion the perform
ance of all religious duties is crossing
to his feelings. There is no help for
him unless he returns to God. The
whole course of divine providence will
run across his path and his whole life
will be series of crosses and trials.
He can not crafty himself by accom-
plishing his own wishes and desires.
He may beat and dash himself against
the everlasting rocks Of Gods will and
Gods way, but break through and
carry all with him he can not. He
must be crossed and recrossed, and
crossed again, until he will fall into
divine order and sink into the will OF
God.

A Splendid MagaZ inc, Cheap in
Price,

The publishers OF the new Peterson Maga-
zine in a private letter to US announcing
q reduction in price OF that excellent
periodical to the very low figure of LOO
a year, say:
The demand for periodical literature
at once cheap and good has been rapidly
increasing during the past decade, and
is now an imperative requirement on the
part of the reading public. 1t was in
accordance with this demand that the
new Peterson started in 1892.
The undertaking has proved so sue
cessful, and the way is now so clear, that
the publishers feel warranted in Offering
even lower rates for the coming year,
thus opening a still wider circulation to
the magizine, while putting itbeyOnd the
possibility of competition either in price
or merit.
Hereafter the Neu Peterson will beissued
at one dollar a year, but this reduction
will be the only change found therein.

o. The backslider in heart must be
full of his own losses. He regards his
possessions as his own, his time as his
own, his influence as his own, his reg
ulation as his own. The loss of any of
these he accounts as his own loss.
Having forsaken God, and being unable
to control the events upon which the
continuance of those things is condi-
toned, he will find himself suffering
losses on every side. He loses his
peace, he loses his property, he loses
his Christian reputation, he loses his
Christian influence, and if he persists
he loses his soul.

troll his tongue. 1t will prove itself to
be an unruly member, full of deadly

Of nature, and is itself set on fire by
hell. BY his words he will involve
himself in many difficulties and per-

titudes Of trials that he never would
have had, had he not departed from

and yet constantly multiply them. A
backslider feels his trials keenly, and
while he complains of being tried
by everything around him he is con-
stantly aggravating them, and being
the author of them he seems industri-
Gus to bring them upon himself like an

K. The backslder in heart will be
back to selfishness. He counts himself
and his possessions as his own. He
has everything to care Cor. He will
not hold himself and his possessions as
belonging to God, and lay aside the re-
sponsibility of taking care Of himself
and all that he possesses. He does
not. will not cast his care upon the
Lord, but undertakes to manage every
thing for himself, and in his own wis
dom, and for his own ends. Conse-
quently his cares will be multiplied
and come upon him like deluge.
!. The backslider at heart will be
full of his own perplexities. Having
forsaken God, having fallen out of his
order and into the darkness of his own
folly, he will be filled with perplexities
and doubts in regard to what course he
shall pursue to accomplish his selfish
ends. He is not walking with, but
contrary to, God. Hence the provi-
dence of God will constantly cross his
path and battle all his schemes. God
will frown darkness upon his path and
take pains to confound his projects and
blow his schemes to the winds.
M. The backslider in heart will be
filled with his own anXieties. He will
be anxious about himself, about his
business, about everything. He has
taken these things out of the hands of
God and claims them and treats them
as his own, and having faith in God no
longer, and being unable to control
events, he must of necessity be filled
with anXietG with regard to the future.
These anxieties are the inevitable re-
suit of his madness and folly of for
saking God.
~. The backslider in heart will be
filled with his own disappointments.
Having forsaken God and taken the
attitude of self-will before him, God
will inevitably disappoint him in pur-
suing his selfish ends. He will frame
his ways to please himself, without
consulting God. OF course God will
frame His ways to disappoint him. De-
termined to have his own way he will
be greatly disappointed if his plans are
frustrated, and the certain course of
events under the government of God
must of course bring a series of disap-
pointments upon the subjects that have
rebellcd against him.

f. The backslider in heart will be
filed with his own lustings. His ap-
petites and passions, which had been
kept under, have now resumed their
control, and having been so long sup
pressed they will seem to avenge them
selves by becoming more clamorous
and despotic than ever. The animal
appetites and passions will burst forth
to the astonishment Of the backslider
and ten to one, if he does not find HIM
self more under their influence and
enslaved by them than ever before.

Unresisting Prey to Tigers.

There are some unfortunate Indian
villagers who appear to live all their
lives in constant peril. On the one
hand stands the man-eating tiger; on
the other the Arms act warns them
to beware of acquiring lethal weapons.
They have nothing for it, therefore,
but to trust everything to official pro-
lection, and this, it appears, some
times proves anything but a safe
guard. Only the other day the mis-
cradle inhabitants of Anami, ham,
let in Bengal, implored the Lieuten-
ant Governor to take action before
they were gobbled up.
A particularly hungry tiger had es-
tablished itself close to the village,
and almost every day witnessed a
fresh outrage. At one time, the
beast showed a preference for cattle,
and the milky mothers of the herd
had their ranks thinned. But this
kind of fare required to have it's mo.
notony relieved at intervals by the
substitution of "long pork" with the
result of some inhabitant becoming
acquainted with the digestive tigrine
apparatus.
The villagers were quite willing to
make war upon their striped foe; at
least they protested to be. But they
possessed no arms, that being for
hidden by law, while the state did
not attempt to afford them any pro-
lection beyond the general offer of
rewards for tiger killing.
Similar cases are by no means I'M
common; they often come to light in
the native papers, by which they are
aIduced as arguments for the abro-
cation of the Arms Act. That rem
edy would be far worse than the dis
ease: il all the people in Indian were
allowed to carry deadly weapons
there would be no enl to battle. muir

state protection is the proper rene

the state with the liberty Of the sub
