VIENNA, n. c., Feb. 21.-Our town
ship has yet got some Democratic land
marks. An old gentleman at the late
election refused to vote for our con-
stable because some Third party men
supported him, he having decided not
to vote for any man or measure en-
dorsed by that party.
The same gentleman made three
wishes last summer, viz: He wished
for Cleveland to be ,elected President,
for cold winter, and for dry sum-
mer in '93. He has surely realized the
the first two and is expecting to wit
ness the third.

There are six tobacco manufacturing
firms in Kernersyille and they all ap-
pear to be doing a prosperous business.
j. NJ. Greenfield, who has been man.
ufacturing the weed for several years,
says he viii largely increase his busi-
ness in 1898. Mr. Robert Galloway,
OF Refdsvillc, viii be associated with
him this year.
j, \. Lowry, of Oak Ridge, has
purchased an interest in the manufac-
turing business Of Lowry & Son
This firm also proposes to manufac-
ture more tobacco this year than ever
before.
Leak Bros. & Hasten is progress
siVe firm which will reach the full ca
pacity OF their factory this year. The
firm is composed of energetic young
men who report thcirrtrade exception
ally good.
Shore, Atkins & Co.. is a new firm
that IS forging to the front. They are
considering the question and will
probably carry their plans into cXecu-
tlOn-tnat Of erecting Il handsome
brlck factory OF their own this spring.
NJ. ;. Brown has been manufacture
ing the weed for several years and has
met with success.
Beard X Roberts have large and
well equipped factory but they have
decided not to operate it this year.
The firm conducts successful whole
sale and retail mercantile business.
kernerSvillc has other creditable
enterprises, among the number being
large tobacco box factory. owned
and conducted by Lewis * HUFF Be

tobacco dryers, tobacco sticks, etc.
Besides supplying the home market
they have fine trade in Winston.

weighing from half an oun,e t. au

! may add that the soil is heavy clny,
and has not been worked for three
years, and that very few 81 the potl.

were de 'idedly above the average size.
Side by side with the above planted
welhworkcd piece Of ground, twenty.
one yards long and fifteen and one
half yards wide, with good sound
tubers of medium size, which gave me
a return Of thirty bushels, very few
being diseased.
1t will be seen at once that the seed
tubers which were soaked in the solu.
ton gave return at the rate of G5l
bushels to the acre, whilst the others,
though much larger tubers, and on
superior soil, yielded only at the rate
of 44G bushels to the acre. 50 that the
yield from the former was nearly 80
per cent more than that from the lat
ter; and have no doubt that, II the
soil in the two cases had been of tho
same quality and the tubers of the
same size, the crop from the former
would have been still more abundant.
