Go out doors an roam bit;
But the woods is lonesome, too
Jes' a-wearyin' for you!

Blossoms fallin' to the ground
Softly. ike your footsteps sound;
violets like your eyes so blue

Use to sing so for your sake!
But there's sadness in the notes
That come trillin' from their throats;
Seem to feel your absence, too
Jes' a-wearyin' for you!

Especial Dispatch to the Baltimore SUM-
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-The census
bureau has prepared and compiled
valuable set of comparative statistics
bearing on Virginia industries. which
show gratifying results in the indus
trial progress of that State. While the
number of steel and iron industries has
decreased during the last ten years the
amount of invested capital has grown
from 81, 329, 713 in 1880 to $7,5O8,0 in
1890 The number of employees has been
doubled, the value of materials used
has been quadruplcd, and the value of

A Wonderful Meteor.
october Ally
LOoKED LIKE A BIG SUN.

LOOKED LIKE A Blu SUN.
1t was Just about dawn on the morn
ing of December 20, when the Yemas-
see was fifteen miles south of Charles
ton bar, that the meteor was seen.
Captain Mckee and Chief Officer Ca
Uterine were the only two men on deck
at the time.
"The meteor was dead ahead and
far up in the heavens when we first
saw it." said Chief Officer Catherine,
s'and seemed to be coming straight for
the ship. l thought Judgment Day
had come, sure, and that some planet
was about to strike the earth. 1t was
as big as six full moons, and burned
like the sun.
''Suddenly it shot off to the east, fol-
lowed by a great streak of fire. When
l saw it was not going to strike the ship
| felt some relief. 1t frightened me
badly, admit.
after going about fifty degrees to
the east it began to take zigzag
course. 1t darted about the heavens
at great speed, just as a bolt OF light
ming would 1t continued to go about
in that way for long time.
''At last it burst into more than a
hundred pieces, like a skyrocket. The
small fireballs were shot all over the
heavens in every direction, and gradu-
ally died away as the fire does from an
exploded rocket.
IN SIGHT HALF AN HOUR.
II pulled out my watch when the
meteor-or whatever it was-began its
zigzag course, and the display lasted
more than half an hour. The Captain
and both watched the thing from the
time it started until the great streaks
of fire it left in it's wake gradually died
out" This is what the log of the
Yemassee reports
December 30, 1S93-6:40 A. Milf
teen miles south of Charleston bar. At
this time an immense meteor fell, bear
ing about east, leaving a wonderful
bright streak of light fifty degrees
long, perfectly straight, lasting about
ten minutes. The streak changed to
zigzag, lasting about the same length
of time. 1t finally scattered. The
phenomena lasted half an hour"
Captain Mckee is man of few words
and after telling of the size of the
meteor and how it acted referred in
quirers to Chief Officer Catherine fol-
full particulars.
The mate of the ship wanted to know
why he was not called to witness the
exhibition of the meteor when he was
first told about it. Chief Officer Ca
| Uterine told him that he and the Cap
tain were ''transfixed with astonish
| ment" and did not want to lose sight
of it for moment.
Scientists or skeptics can get full in
| formation about this meteor from
either Captain Mckee or Chief Officer
| Catherine

What Will DO IT,

MEDICAL writer's claim that the sue
cessful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be non-irritating, easy of application,
and one that will reach the remote
sores and liberated surfaces. The
history of the efforts to treat catarrh is
proof positive that only one remedy
has completely met these conditions,
and that is Ely's Cream Balm. This
safe and pleasant remedy has mastered
catarrh as nothing else has ever done,
and both physicians and patients freely
concede this fact. Our druggists keep

Tue existing tariff on wool makes the
III All ufacturerS pay somewhere about
81 so fer every dollars worth OF wool
they buy. Abolish this tax, as tine
Wilson bill provides, and the manu-
facturer can buy about the same
amount of wool for Il, 600 that now
costs him 81 500.
TITS saving of $500 might add sons
what to his profits, and it would Ger
tainly enable him TO pay his workmen
higher wages, but the great bulk Of
the saving would go to the consumer
The consumer could buy either more
goods with the same money or the
sam, quantity and quality of goods
with less money. If the people should
choose TO buy more goods for the same
money, it would increase the work
done in the WOODEN mills, create bet
ter demand for labor and so have
strong tendency to compel the manu-
facturer to use up in higher wa les
part of the $500 or so that he would
save on every 81 900 worth of wool that
he purchased.
But if the people should prefer TO
buy the same amount of goods for less
money, then it would leave more
money in their pockets to be expended
for other things, which would increase
the demand for other articles of manu-
facture. In either case free wool would
have d strong tendency to make bust
ness better, wages higher and clothes,
blankets and carpets cheaper. Be-
cause the tariff adds so much to the
| cost of wool o ur manufacturers are I'M
able to compete with English manu-
features in supplying tie trade of the
world. English manufacturers pay no
tax on their WOOL The tariff on wool
is, in fact, discrimination against

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.
Statistics of agriculture prepared by
the bureau do not make a favorable
showing in the farming industry in the
State. The number of farms in the
State has only grown from 49, in
1880 to 1871, 800 in 1890 The number in
1870 was 70, $40. The total area of I'M
improved land has decreased from
II, 1926, 672 acres in 1880 to 9,125, 545 in
1890. The total value of farms has in
creased from $216, OPS, 107 in 1880 to $254,-
400, 600 in 1890, while the value of
farming implements has increased
from S., 495, ia in 1880 to So, 593, 6S8 in
1890. There has been a notable increase
in the value of live stock, the total
value in 1880 being $50, 953, 315, while
in 1890 it was $33, 404 ,281. The total
value of farm products, however, shows
a decrease owing to the general fall in
prices. the decrease being from $45,-
726, 221 in 1880 to $42 pa .45S in 1890.
The live stock statistics show an in
crease in the number of horses from
218, 1888 in 1880 to 242 .512 in 1890. Mich
COWS have increased during the same
period from 1901 to 273, 1884, and the
production of butter has increased
from II, 470,923 to 17,949,96 pounds.
Because of the low price of wheat there
has been a constant decrease in the
acreage, but not in yield of that cereal.
In 1880 the acreage was 901, TT and the
yield 1896, TIA bushels, in 1890 the acre
age was 737,510 and the yield 1904, 092
bushels. The decreased acreage and
the increased yield show more intel
ligent system of farming in the State.

The Old and the New.

Changes take place in the medical
profession as in other branches OF
Science. We believe the greatest good
will follow that generous offer made by
DR.. Greene, of 80 West 18th Street
New York, who invites all persons, far
and near, suffering from any form OF
disease, to write him a description OF
their complaints, and he will send
them, free of charge, complete ex-
PLANTATION of their diseases, with advice
how to be cured. He gives most care
full and explicit attention to all letters
and explains each symptom so careful
ly that you cannot fail to understand
exactly what ails you.
DR.. Greene is our most successful
specialist in curing nervous and chronic
diseases. He is the discOverer of that
famous medicine, DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy, which is do
ing such vast amount of good all over
the world. He uses nothing in his
practice but harmless vegetable RENE
dies, which can in no manner injure
you. This great system of giving
consultation and advice through letter
correspondence, free of charge, is es-
pecially important to the poor and
those living at a distance from large
cities, as such consultation and advice
were formerly attended by great eX
pense. The doctor is having wonder
full success in treating the sick through
letter correspondence, and if you will
write him about your disease it will
undoubtedly lead to your cure.

He is always confined to his bed. He

and he respires more freely. One of
