THE SOUTH'S OWN EXPOSITION,
[CharlOtte ObSeryer.l

North Carolina undoubtedly reaped
great benefit from its exhibits in the
agricultural, mining, horticultural,
forestry and fisheries buildings at the
Worlds Fair at Chicago. A number
OF representatives of the Obseyvey saw
with patriotic pleasure that the indus.
tries and natural advantages of the
State were being observed with inter
est by visitors. Specialists studied
our exhibits closely and reported ia
vorably on them. Letters received by
State officials from different parts Of
the country, after the fair, showed
that the exhibits of the States skill, in
dustry and resources had not been for
gotten, and better than all, the practi.
cal results are seen in immigration to
the State and the investment Of for
eign capital here.
Another great exposition, not of
quite such magnificent proportions as
the one just mentioned, probably, but
still not one of mean proportions, is
approaching. 1t is to be held in
Atlanta, Ga, the Gate City of the
South, in the fall of the present year
This exposition is distinctly South
ern one-its aim is to show the world
what the new South is doing and has
done in the thirty years since the old
handicapping slavery system was rele-
gated to history, and an unprecedented
successful era of manufacturing and
commercial prosperity entered upon.
North Carolina must not lag behind
any other Southern State at this expo
sition. The eyes of the world are
upon this heaven-favored section Of
the great Western republic. In the re.
cent panic this section withstood the
shock and crash and general wreck
and ruin better than any other part o
the country, and 10 much so that cal
the world wondered"
If North Carolina believes herself tc
be leading State of the new South
of industry and progress, she cannot
fall to be fully represented at the At
lanta Exposition.
The Legislature has refused to dc
anything towards the States represen
tation there, being too much engaged
in partisan politics and in making anc
filling offices; but citizens and corpo.
rations should not neglect the oppor
tunity to help themselves and the
Commonwealth by making individ
ual and corporate exhibits.

A VOICE FROM OHIO.
Norfolk Virpinian


The editor of the Farm NeWs, pub
lithed at Springfield, Ohio, has just
returned from a trip to the South,
during which he took every pains 10
get at the exact truth, with view OF
telling his readers his conclusions
whatever they might be. alt was no,
our first trip to this section of the
country" said he, "for We had been
there and staid there for months at a
time, but that was more than fifteen
years ago and to say that we were sur
prised at the change is to express our
sentiments in very mild manner.
"There has grown up generation oI
young men and young women who
are free from prejudice, and ready to
welcome with a warm greeting the
stranger and wayfarer who stops with
them. Not only are the people gen
erously inclined, and as cordial as
possible to those who come from the
North, but the climate is as genial as
the inhabitants of the country. There
are possibilities for the farmer in the
South that can never exist in the
North. Lands are cheap, easily cult.
waited and fertile. Railroads are &C.
cessible in every part Of the South
almost, and enterprise will build them
as fast as they are needed, where they
aye pot now IN he found We shal|
have more to say concerning this
country in future numbers. To show
what our opinion is, we need only say
that we expect to make it our home in
the future. We have great affection
for Ohio; it is grand old State, but in
the way of material advantages for
him who tills the soil it is not as good
a place as the South"

HUGHES ON DANIEL.

Lewisburg CIV. Va) Independent
Judge Robert w. Hughes, of the U.
S. Court for the Eastern district Of
Virginia, has recently written a very
interesting letter to the Norfolk Pilot,
in which he speaks in the highest
terms of Senator Daniel as an authority
on the silver question. He says OF the
Senator that he is not a sciolist on
any subject, and is as deeply read in
finance as in law, his speeches in the
Senate on the subject of metallic money
being quoted everywhere, especially
by text writer's. He says he prefers
Major Daniel for Senator above all
the men in Virginia-Democrats or
Republicans. Judge Hughes is a
Republican, but a very enthusiastic
advocate Of the white metal, and has
himself written extensively on the
subject. His opinion of Major Daniel,
as an authority on the money issue, is
particularly interesting just now, seeing
that the Senator will be member Of
the proposed International monetary
commission.
Referring to the interest England
has in the maintenance of the gold
standard, The Judge quotes from
London banker the following senti-
ments uttered twenty-five years ago
and before our own fatuous Congress
demonetized silver
elf we break the French ratio of
15H to 1 and the American ratio of
16 to I, by demonetizing silver, it will
do more for England than conquests
by arms, on both land and sea, for a
thousand years. England is creditor
nation. Her greatest rival is the
United States. The American Re-
public will soon rival us as a creditor
nation of the world. The only way
to prevent it is to keep her in debt to
us. We can do that only by cheapen-
ing her products. If we can induce
the United States and other nations to
demonetize silver, this is what the
result will be< We will use their
cheap silver to buy wheat and cotton
in India and all values will fall in
proportion to the fall of wheat, cotton
and silver. The American products
must meet this competition from
India, and down will come all their
prices. We will destroy silver, one of
the principal sources of their wealth,
and with the general fall in values we
will destroy their balance of trade
with Europe. With their wonderful
recuperative powers, if they still force
balance of trade in their favor, we
must overcome it by creating a
balance of money in settlement by
means of gold interest on bonds and
loans. What would make the United
States the dominant nation OF the
world would be her net balance OF
trade. At bi-metallic prices for their
cereals, backed with large production
of gold and silver, they would be
richer than England and all Europe,
in another quarter of a century. They
would own their own debts, and all
the world would be paying them
interest. We must destroy this balance
of trade in their favor. To do it we
must demonetize their silver. 1t is
the key to the situation. All the resi-
will follow"

and. Many things that produce
marked increase in yield make tobacco
Of inferior quality.
Srd. Use concentrated fertilizers as
the extraneous matter-matter not
plant food-very often has the effect
of making inferior tobacco.
5th. Never apply fertilizer to to-
bacco that contains much ifany chlo-
rine.
9th. Chlorine always causes to-
bacco to burn badly.
9TH. Never apply common salts to
tobacco lands
S,h. Do not furnish the potash of

quality.
9th. Do not apply kainit to to-
bacco or tobacco lands, as it produces
bad quality Of tobacco.
10th. Do not use Iow grade sui
phate of potash in tobacco fertilizers
as it causes inferior quality in the
tobacco.
nth. High grade sulphate of pot
ash always improves the quality of
tobacco and generally increases the

18th. The tobacco having the
best combustibility was grown with

Capt. Thomas w. Mason, whose
term as Railroad Commissioner having
expired, has returned to his home in
Northampton county. His retirement
to private life is nothing short of a
public calamity He has filed the
Office to which he was called without
personal solicitation with singular
ability and with great satisfaction to
the people. He has held the scales Of
justice evenly and has never failed to
mete out justice alike to corporation
and to the people.
In his official relations he has been
upright and capable, winning the
approval of all good citizens. In his
personal relations, he has by his cour-
,esy, agreeable manners, and unselfish-
ness endeared himself to all with
whom he came ip contact.

AS personal experience, he says
that he offered book of sketches by
" Luke Sharp to every publishing
house in America and it was rejected
by every one of them. He offered it,
under his undistinguished real name,
to an English firm, which accepted it
at once !; whereupon the author had
offers for its republication by three OF
the American houses which originally
refused to touch it. "I have not the
slightest doubt" he adds, &c that the
great American novel has been repeat
edly offered in New York, repeatedly
rejected, and at last burned in despair
by the disappointed authors who then
turned their attention to civil engineer
ing or the grocery business.

Since she went home
Longer the evening shadows linger here,
The winter days fill SO much of the year,
And even summer winds are chill and
drear,
Since she went home.
Since she went home
The robins note has touched minor
strain,
The old glad songs breathe sad refrain,
And laughter sobs with hidden. bitter
pain
Since she went home.
Since she went home
How still the empty rooms her presence
blessed
Untouched the pillow that her dear head
pressed;
My lonely heart hath nowhere for its rest
Since she went home.
Since she went home
The long, long days have crept away like

The sunlight has been dimmed with doubts
and fears,
And the dark nights have rained in lonely

Since she went home.

EXACTLY so.

There is, alas too much of truth
in the following, from the Goldsboro
Argxs:
Mr.. Robert Barr, humorist who
made name for himself in American
journalism under the alias "Luke
Sharp and has achieved a more
enduring reputation in England under
his own name, says:
The United States is the only civil
lized country in the world that takes
its literary opinions from another
country. Its attitude toward England
in this matter is abiect, cringing, and,
what is more astounding, financially
idiotic, fo 1 am thoroughly convinced
that somerbig fortunes are to be made
right here in New York by the men
who first realize that America can be
as great in literature as she is in busi-
ness and inventions.

A Pointer For the South.

1t is estimated that the South spends
annually the sum Of sIoo, 900 900 for
products, horses and mules, which
could be raised with greater profit in
that section than elsewhere The bulk
ithe vast sum goes 10 the West TO
pay for grain and meats. Before the
war the South raised its own corn and
provisions and an agitation has been
started 10 return to that custom. II
less cotton were produced and more
acreage was devoted TO other crops,
