Florida Strictly in It.

The world must have phosphate and
must look to Florida for it. DIR.
Francis Wyatt says that it has been
estimated in a rough and essentially
approximative manner that the total
area of soil under cultivation for ce-
reals and grasses in this country and
in Europe is 1000, 100000 acres, and
that the crops attain an average of
0bout one ton per acre. 1t has also
been roughly estimated that the aver
age depth of the soils over this area is
In the neighborhood of nine inches,
and analyses have shown that their
average contents in phosphates are
about 1900 pounds per acre. The
total amount of phosphates contained
I'M the soils now under cultivation in
America and Europe is, therefore,
1900, 200, 900 tons. Since every ton of
crop deprives the soil of forty pounds
of phosphate, 1t follows that the 1,00O,-
600, 900 tons of crop use up 2O,0OO,0OO
tons of phosphate every year. Only
about half this quantity is recovered
from the refuse of farms and cities
and returned to the soils; the other
half is carried away and lost. This
creates a yearly deficit of 100000
tons Of phosphate, and in the ordinary
course Of events the lack Of this most
essential constituent would entail ster-
litity of all the soils in the next zoo
years.
This yearly waste or deficit must be
returned to the soil and the phosphate
beds of Florida must largely supply it,
The phosphate mines Of Florida must
ultimately become more valuable
than either gold or silver mines and
Florida phosphate owners won't care
what becomes of the financial prob
lem. They will be strictly in 1t whether
there is single or double standard.

Government ownership Of the rail
roads Commissioner Carroll ID. Wright
regards as an undertaking too vast and
uncertain to be seriously considered at
present. But he notes the fact that the
Massachusetts, railroad commission
years ago advised the state purchase
and operation Of the Hoosac tunnel
route as an experiment; aud he plain
" hints at the ACCESSIBILITY Of the fed
eral governments assuming the con-
troll aud operation Of the subsidized
Pacific roads, Unquestionably we
shall face in the very near future a
strong popular demand that this step.
and others in the same direction. be
taken. If the railroads want to help
on the undertaking they will continue
IN their present course Of resisting the
attepts of the government to secure
equality and justice in the matter Of
rates.

Editor HIGHLAND RECORDER.
Mr. Billy Shumate of New Salem
was in our midst this week, the
guest ofMr A. Jones. His sister
Miss Annie is boarding with the
latter, taking music lessons from
Mrs Ada Armstrong.
Miss Lucy Swadley, one Of our
teachers, visited her home at Van
derpool last Saturday and returned
Monday. She was accompanied as
far as Strait Creek by Misses Nancy
and Maggie Blagg.
Miss Ida Quidore, our other teach
err, accompanied by Mary Emma
Eagle, spent Sunday at her home
Mcdowell.
Mr. Howard Armstrong has gone
to Pocahontas, and we judge from
the length of time he has been a
way that there must be some attrac-
ton for him out there.
Quite a number Of our young
people attended communion service
at McKendree last Sunday eve.
The entertainment we mention
ed in our last, to be given by the
Juvenile Missionary Society" will
be held on Saturday night Feb. IA.
The programme Reign Of the
Mites" is interesting through out.
Each child will be provided with a
mite box and the one having the
largest amount in his or her box
will receive prize. This is very
laudable enterprise and we hope
will be literally patronized by the
public, generally. No admittance
fee will be charged, but we shall
expect every one to bring MITE to
help swell the measure.

There is being so much said
about hard times and the
scarcity of money, and as every bod
y has a cause and knows a remedy,

readers what think in the cause,
viz:
We buy more than we produce.
There is too much -four and ba

things we ought to make at home
we are buying.
We let our timber rot and buy
our pillow stocks, singletrees, ak
handles, hoe handles and fencing.
We throw away our ashes and
buy soap and axle grease
We give away our beef hides and
buy hamestrings and shoeStrings.
We waste our manure and buy
guano.
We buy our garden seed in the
spring and cabbage IN the winter.
We let our land grow up in weeds
and buy our brooms.
We waste the wax out Of our
pine and gum trees and buy chew
ing gum for our children.
We build schoolhouses and hire
teachers and send our children of
to be educated.
We landifve cent fish with four
dollar rod.
We send fifteen cent boy out
with twenty dollar gun and afour
dollar dog to kill birds.
We raise dogs and buy wool.
The only things there is an over

A Few Facts.

A remedy has been found which
cures chronic diseases: not in every
case, but in a large percentage OF
them. And in cases too far gone
for cure, it affords relief and often
prolongs life. Many who have
been given over by physicians have
been prevailed upon by friends to
try this remedy, the Compound
Oxygen Treatment Of Drs. Starkey
& Palen, of Philadelphia, and are
now living to testify to its curative
powers. 1t has been successful in
curing many cases of catarrh, ma
larial fever, hay fever, asthma
bronchitis, neuralgia, nervous pros
tration, and other chronic diseases.
In these diseases physicians have
had little success, as the name they
have given to this class Of disorders
indicates, but Compound Oxygen
has worked wonders.
There is only one genuine Com
pound Oxygen, and any substance
made elsewhere or by others than
Drs. Starkey and Palen, is spurious.
Avoid limitations.
Ifyou wish to learn more of this
wonderful remedy, send for our
book of 200 pages, sent free, with
numerous testimonials and records
of surprising cures.

Contrary to expectations the annual meet

evening at Voss' Hall was a very tame affair.
1t was expected that the contest for the
Presidency would be spirited, but only one
candidate was in the field, and he was elected
by acclemation.
The reports of the various officers showed
the Verein to be in excellent condition fin
a~ncially and otherwise. The Membership
Committee reported that the membership is
1877, an increase of Is over last year. The
Building Committee said that it was unable
to present a report as the holidays prevented
active work on the part of the members of
the committee. An interesting report will
be presented at the next meeting. The mem
bers decided to hold the t~wenty-frst animal
ball of the Verein on Monday, February II,
at Metropolitan Hall, Greenville, and a com
mittee was appointed to make the necessary
arrangements. The election for officers re
