The Landlof the Sky and Beyond.

The Forum for January, under the title
OF The Land of the Sky and Beyond,
contains an elaborate andcopiOusly Illus
trated article from the pen OF Mr.. Frank
Presbrey, describing recent trip over
the lines OF the Southern Railway, which
is u mine of minute information for
Southern travellers, giving sketch OF
every place of resort, town, city and OF
all the leading hotels. Ashevile, which
is APPLY termed 1.-The Land of the Sky,
is fully and graphically described, as are
the resorts of Florida. 1t may surprise
many readers to learn from Mr.. Pres
brey article that the South now posses
SEES great railroad system owned by one
corporation, OF which Mr.. Samuel Spencer
is president, embracing about thirty diff
ferent roads. with 1850 miles of track
with a single management, under the
name of THE Southern Railway" and
reaching every part of the South and
Southwest. Among the roads embraced
in this great system are the Richmond
X Danville. and the East Tennessee, Nir-
ginia and Georgia.
Mr.. Presbrey has done full Justice to n
very difficult task, and his article is not
only readable from the fact that it pos
sesses literary and descriptive merit OF a
high order. but because of the full infor-
nation it gives of great value to those
who contemplate a trip to the South for
either health, pleasure or business.

VALUABLE FOR THE SOUTH.

SO far as our observation goes, the
Manufacturers Record, published at
Baltimore, stands upon a unique
pedestal, and the question presents
itself, "Does the South appreciate what
this publication is doing for it p The
journal carries broadcast 1.over the
country each week information, valu-
able and desirable, concerning the
section whose interests it has SO com
ple,ely at heart. The North has no
such publication, the West has not,
nor the Northwest, the Southwest, the
New England States, the Middle
States nor the Pacific slope, yet there
can be no question that these sections
would be benefited through efforts
similar to those which have made the
Manufacturers Record SO influential
and valuable.
Coming, as it does, as weekly
visitor in the Free Press Office, we are
prepared to attest the hold its recltals
of what is doing in a manufacturing
and industrial way in the South take
upon the reader. These recitals create
an entirely new impression concerning
a section of the country that the free
Press has more than once recommended
to those seeking new home. Even
to those acquainted in general way
with the advantages-cllmate, soil,
mineral deposits, water-power, acces-
.ibility-of the various States and the
improvements recently made, the
intelligence brought each week is
surprising, and strengthens the belief
that the tide has turned for the South,
and that it is the section of this great
country towards which emigration is
turning in way that indicates marked
changes ere the close of the century.
The South is gathering to itself a
great variety of new people, each OF
whom goes there to follow some chosen
occupation. The Northern truck
farmer is dividing space with the native
cotton grower, and the vineyard is
springing up alongside. The textile
worker journeys Southwark in the
same car with the iron moulder, while
capital from the North and West is
carried down to be invested in phos-
phate and cotton oil industries.
Mechanics, machinists and lumbermen
are finding new homes, and trades
people follow them with their wares
New towns are springlng up, and old
ones are growing into cities, and cite:
are gaining in population. The Soutl
is unquestionably growing, and it j:
safe to assert that nearly twice a:
many people are moving thither from
the North and West to-day as there
were five years ago. With this growth
the Manufacturers Reeor1 mas hac
much to do, and its services in behal
of the South deserve special mention
particularly SO as the service is in the
cause Of a better condition of thing

THE HUMAN EAR.
A Notable Lecture Oh The Sense OF
Hearing, by DR.. Hartman.

A Notable Lecture Oh The Sense of
Hearing, by DR.. Hartman.
During the course OF one Of DIR.
Hartman's latest lectures at the Surgical
Hotel, he said: GOOD hearing is
essential to health and safety. A con-
tinual roaring, cracking and buzzing
in the head, which is always produced
by partial loss of hearing, is constant
nervous irritation which will gradually
undermine the strength. Besides this,
even a slight loss of hearing renders
any one more Liable to accident, many
persons being killed every year because
of partial deafness. Many people think
that a gradual loss Of the sense Of
hearing is inevitable, and that every
one must submit to it sooner or later.
Hence they make no attempt TO find
cure. This is a great mistake. Loss
of hearing, either in the old or young
people, is nearly always due to chronic
catarrh of the head or middle ear"
Catarrhal deafness is due to catarrh
of the throat passing up through the
EustaChian tubes to the middle ear.
The catarrh in rare cases originates in
and remains confined to the middle
ear, The symptoms are: Roaring,
cracking, buzzing in the ear, with
gradually increasing difficulty in hear
ing if not cured the hearing will be
entirely destroyed. When the case
has not already gone too far before the
treatment is begun Pe-ru-na will cure
every case. 1t is only after catarrh
has destroyed portions of the middle
ear that Pe-ru-na fails to cure. All
such cases should write DR.. Hartman

Somas Quaint No ions Entertained in An
c:ent Times Regarding the Bird.
The beliefs and convictions that con-
stitute the folklore of the woodpecker,
Or sapsucser, as it is sometimes err
roneously called-for its boisterous op-
erations occur solely in quest OF in
sects that lie concealed beneath the
bark, and are never injurious to the
trecs-arc, in fact, very many and va
RED and many of them can be traced
back to a somewhat more venerable an
tiquity than is usual in such matters.
Probabl says an English journal,
every one remembers having read or
heard, at one time or another, the
story of the transformation OF the
pagan god picus, the son of Saturnus,
to the woodpecker by the witch god
dess, Gree, in revenge for his GOODNESS
and nonrequital of her love. The tale
of itself is of little Importance, and
is but one of the countless fairy
legends that compose the lesser and
and extremely poetic mythologies OF
the Greeks and Romans But it hap
PLY serves the purpose of illustrating
the connection that evidently existed
in the Roman mind between birds and
the supernatural and the unknown in
general. And it would seem that the
relation in different forms was almost
universal in ancient times, for the
image of the bird which was used by
the Romans to represent the perse-
cuted deity already mentioned-after
whom the family is named incident
ally, in ornithology-and by the aug
urs and priests of the city as a sort Of
symbol in foretelling coming events,
abounds in many of the marvellous and
complicated sculptures and carvings of
Central America and Peru, and has
even been found in some of the South
Sea islands and other parts of the
world in the form of wooden charms
and fetiches.

settled with Prince Bismarck the con-

story is told that one day while the

at table the details of those conditions
Prince Bismarck conceived the idea of
trying to make II. Pouyer-Quertier

scarcely emptied his glass when the
prince replcnished it, and the French

THE STATE AGRICULTURAL ASSO-
CATION

We learn with regret O: the embar-
rassed condition of the State Agri
cultural Society. That it was in debt
and had not paid expenses for several
years was no secret, but when Col. ].
S. Carr took hold of it as president,
hopes were entertained of its ultim lie
triumph over such difficulties, and
with the brilliant success that crowned
his efforts last year-rcsulting in the
best fair ever held in Raleigh-and
his unanimous reelection, this feeling
gained strength. But now it looks like
public hope and expectation is TO fail
of realization unless some means are
devised to save the property from being
sold TO satisfy patient and long suffer
ing creditors. This we sincerely hope
will be done. With one more oppor
tunity and all things favorable the

would be calamity to the State to
allow the property to be sold and the
fair closed. Where are our patriotic,
public spirited men Of means? Here
is an opportunity for them to show
their hands and save the State Fair.
The Raleigh correspondent of the
Wilmington Messenger says:
1t is learned that, contrary to gen
eral opinion, the last State Fair did
not pay expenses. Interest on the
mortgage debt is tour years in arrears
and unless Raleigh or the public give
aid, the fair grounds will be sold in the
spring. The bondholders are maInl,
men Of small means and are no longe
able to carry the burden.

dated Jan. nth, says:
The management of the Ntvs Of
this city is having lively time with
their editor, Mr.. Al Fairbrother. They
applied TO the police department and
now policeman stands guard at the
office door to keep the editor out. The
trouble was caused by the attack Of
Fairbrother on a stock broker who
recently LEFT for Philadelphia, but
before leaving filed sui. against the
paper for libel. Fairbro,her, accom-
panied by his wife, came here from
Durham, n. c., several months ago.

ment coolly, claiming that he has a

night approved the movement which is

dollars for the emancipation fund, and
one of the members is authority for the
announcement that nearly $4,000, 900
has already been raised in the United

SILVER MEN ADJOURN.


The Usual Free Coinage Resolutions
Adopted.
MEMPHIS, June 14.-The silver con-
vention adjourned after adopting the
usual free coinage resolutions. The
most interesting thing about the con-
vention was the attempt of the silver
party men, under the leadership Of
Sibley of Pennsylvania, Tillman of
South Carolina, Butler of North Caro-
lima, Stewart Of Nevada and Adams Of
Colorado, to have the convention de.
clare for free silver party. The con-
sentative element prevailed in the COM
mittee on resolutions, and the DECLARE
tions Of that body which were adopted
by the convention did not go beyond q
strong presentation Of the free silver
views of the gathering. But the con-
vention adjourns with schism in it.
One faction advocates the Sibley
''idea," and the capture Of the Demo-
cratic convention and, failing in that.
the independent political action. while
others were sighting the issue strictly
within party lines.

Disappearance Of Ranges Not Responsf-
BILE for Sea, city Of Cattle.
ST. LOUIS, June 1.-THE Butchers
and Packers magazine has this to say
anent the cattle supply:
Articles have appeared in leading
daily papers of New York and Chicago
showing that with the disappearance OF
the vast ranges, by dividing into farms.
cattle would disappear and beef would
become a luxury. Fhis is falacious
reasoning, for, as matter OF fact, the
beef Of the country comes from the
farms and not from the ranges.
There are 81 farm states, with total
area of /, 168. OO2 square miles, and
according to the report OF the
United States agricultural department.
in January, 1895, the estimated num-
Der of cattle in these states was 80, O6O, :
Az. Range states and territories, II
in number, contain an area of 1,794, At

estimated number Of cattle was only
20, sos, 373 The states therefore, with
q third more area than the farm states.
have third less cattle, and they con-
stantly multiply in the farm region.
Texas, with considerable more area
than Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri.
and Arkansas, combined, has nearly 30
per cent less cattle. The farm area
enlarges beef production over one-third
while range area diminishes it.

HAD NOTHING TO SAY.

Taylor and His Brother Leave Chicago
for Pierre.
CHICAGO, June Nv. w. Taylor,
the ex-state treasurer of South Dakota,
did not put in an appearance at the
Palmer House, as was expected. He
was, however, in the city for short
time, although his whereabouts could
not be ascertained. II. A. Taylor Of
Lafayette, Ind, brother, was at the
Palmer. He said that his brother did
not desire to be interviewed.
Taylor left on the 6:10 Northwestern
train for Pierre, S. D., where he will
give himself up.
It was little over four months ago
that Taylor passed through Chicago on
his way to the tropics, where he has
successfully evaded cohort of de-
tectives, which never quit his trail from
the day that he left South Dakota. He
is sunburned and careworn from his
travels and troubles and expressed him
self to friends as very glad that he was
returning home to settle up the matter
at the cost of liberty. Later it was
learned that Taylor did take quarters
at the Palmer House, but under an
assumed name, to avoid annoyance.
The ex-state treasurer denied inter-
views to all outsiders and would not
give the slightest information about
his travels.
During the day Taylor was in con-
sultation with Attorney General Craw.
ford and his attorney, D. X. Tenny,
about the details of the terms upon
which he has returned.

NEW SILVER LEAGUE
DEMOCRATIC FREE COINAGE MEN
FORM AN ORGANIZATION.

lts Object Il to Control tho UtteraDces
the Currency Question-senators Hsrris,
Jones aud Turpie ut Its Head.
MEMPHIS, June 15.-The movement
inaugurated by prominent Democrats
for the formation of silver organiza-
ton within the lines of the Democratic
party mentioned in these dispatches. is
believed to be step Of the greatest
Importance in the campaign on the
currency question. There were present
at the meeting the Democratic senators
and others who were here attending
the silver convention. Senators Harris.
Jones and Turpie were named % a
committee to select members Of ma
tional executive committee consisting
of one man from each state. Senator
Harris said:
1.-THE league will be Democratic or
ranization of the silver Democrats in
the country for the purpose of control
ling the utterance of the next national
Democratic convention upon the finan-
cial question. I have no doubt that the
Great Majority Of the People
are in favor Of free coinage, but unless
they organize it will be impossible for
them to make the next platform. The
committee will at once put itself In
communication with the leading b.
metallists in every state of the Union
and will ask and doubtless receive their
assistance in perfecting an active and
vigilant organization of the silver
people in every magisterial district,
county and state"
"You clearly understand" put in
Senator, Jones, ''that this movement is
strictly in the lines of the Democratic
party and we want the country to un-
derstand that. The organization OF
silver advocates in an independent
body without partisan character can
not have the effect of giving organized
strength to silver Democrats in sense
that will enable them to control the
sending of delegates to the various
conventions.
