Two Lives.
Two sons from out two distant homes one day
Went bravely forth In life to win way
And one had wealth to shield him from rough
cares:
The other, poorer, took his mothers prayers.
One sought and found high honors at his hand:
One fought to gain place whsreon to stand.
One found bis path thick strewn with roses
sweet;
One struggled long through thorns, with bleed
ing feet.
One came at noon, wealth gone and flowers
dead;
One stood In calm. with sunshine round his

One fell beneath Temptations wiles, unarmed,
Tbs other stood amid all dangers still un-

Tobacco Culture In the Underwater
Counties.
RICHMOND, VA, July 2,

RICHMOND, VA, July % 1895.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
see YOU editorially express surprise
that Nansemond county should be making
tobacco this year. Richmond Will be In
terested as TO where the crop will be
marketed This is the place for its sale.
The Suffolk Herald should investigate
and report the class and quality OF the
crop; II would interest AL our tobacco
markets. l presume this tobacco u nue.
cured and raised near the North Carolina
line. probably, where briGhts are made.
Bertie county and others near the North
Carolina coast, has, for several years
made good bright tobacco crops pay well
between KinstOn and New Bern, y. C.,
the tobacco crop culture is developing
il is famous around TarborO' and Green
vile, y. c., where warehouses ana
markets are established already.
There are lands. as have long since said
in the Dispatch, South and East OF Rich
mond, and around us that are luliy as
well adapted to bright tobacco as the
very best In Virginia or North Carolina.
The planters are ignorant OF its culture
and cure: they especially make failure
on the latter. like the early farmers did
on the peanut; they did not use enough
or any lime TO make the hull perfect
our lands. for fifty miles and more
around seem double in value ana
auadrup!e in productive value for the
owners income. If the bright tobacco
lands were selected and intelligently Gull
tivated There is nothing easier than
procuring seed and instruction. South
Carolina. five years ago, made no tobac-
CO practically; this year there VIII be
100000 pounds Of brghts made. The
average price last year was l. cents
some planters averaged 20 cents. others
g cents round Poor tobacco does not
pay. and above all things. Is not wanted
better not attempt any crop 10 sell than
to risk poor tobacco. The lands alluded
TO around MS are fresh as 20 tobacco crops
The Eastern North Carolina lands
are thin and sandy. and light loamy
they look poor, they need and get ferti-
lization. but the tobacco crop pays the
planter far better than any other crop.
our old field and piney lands, the black
berry briar and sweet potato LANDS. VIII
make the best brights. Hence we see the
success OF the eastern counties in bright
tobacco culture.
If the tobacco trade Of Richmond would
systematically interest itself In reaching
the farmers around us with tobacco cul-
ture instructions II would yield this
market enough tobacco In a few years
TO keen many warehouses busy. without
a pound from anywhere else. A. !. Is
our money, business. and encouragement
is sent away split up. In building up any
and all markets but our own, bur the
spirit OF change for the better has begun
10 prevail, and II locks Ike AT iast the
trade is decidedly ours TO the old plan of
sending all orders away, and this year
will probably witness the best and largest
direct loose sales we have ever had. Old
tobacco belts are giving out, as witnessed
In West Virginia and Southwest Virginia,

that was falling all the morning and
through the execution, the cord had
drawn M and the drop was fully nine
feet. The rope continued TO stretch until
the body was cut down. Ii was exactly
1906 O'Clock when the trap was sprung.
The first shock must have produced UNI
consciousness, for the body hung notion
less for fully a minute. Then twltchlng
OF the feet was noticeable. ana III rev
moments the legs drew up ana convul-
sion after CONFUSION followed. Inere
were thirteen altogether. Then the ieSs
stiffsned out. and the body again hung
motionless. The doctors thereupon adj
vanced and took the pulse II was found
that the heart. though weak, was beat
ing very rapidly. and the pulse appeared
10 be strong. II gradually weakened until
at 1915 O'Clock. nine minutes after the
drop fell. II ceased at the radial artery.
The heart continued to beat slowly, and
IL was not until 1921 O'Clock, exactly
fifteen minutes after the body had been
preclpitated through the opening, that
an signs of life disappeared, and the
doctors announced that Philip Norman
Nicholas. the murderer OF William Jud-
son Wilkerson and James Mills, had ex-
plated his crime.
BODY PREPARED FOR BURIAL.
The body was cut down ana an autopsy
was held. 1t was found that death had

Attorney Barnes read a number Of aiii-

was no prejudice with regard to Durant
which would prevent him from obtaining
a fair trial by jury. Judge Murphy at
the conclusion of the reading of the af-

mind In the matter. which was similar
To the case OF Alexander Goldenson, who
murdered Matte Jelly, a schoolgirl. This
case was tried before him some years
