DEAR SIR: hereby acknowledge receipt of
check from your Company for So, 44S.40, in
settlement of my policy taken twenty years
ago.
am more than satisfied with the results
shown, as l have not only had projection for
20 years. but in addition have really made a
good investment of my money, as you have re-
turned to me all the money paid by me, to;
outlay for the $1,000 policy was S4,503, and
you now return to me So, 44s.4o, or nearly half
as much again as l paid in. and this notwith-
standing the fact that | was not paying the
high price which an Endowment Policy would
cost.
You also offered me a Paid-up Policy for
So, 1856, or to pay me back 20 per cent. of all
premiums paid, and in addition have my Paid
up Policy for So 900, all of which propositions
exceed my expectations.
Yours, very truly,

A special to the News and Courier
from Blackville says:
Cyrus Davis, colored barber. was
fooled into the country and gwen
severe tloggiDg. A party went to his
home and told him no was wanted to
shave dead man and he started out
ID the vehicle, but it came very near
his being the dead man. A crocus
sack was thrown over his head and
severe whipping administered. He
says he Was told that the reason he was
whipped was because of his having
gwen certain evidence against party
recently charged with murder ina case
which attracted a great deal of interest.
This evidence is alleged to have been
given ct the second trial in connection
with the tragedy. The chief OF police
had heard Of the incident, but no Off
cial report had been made to him and
the whipping was done in the country.
1t might not be hard work for the
right persons to find out who commit
ted this outrage and have the law take
its proper course.

gether with the rapid and early tobacco
in the barn and the fixing of the color
is more or less an artificial and scien.
tific application of heat by methods
available on the farm, and requires
care and frequently dearly bought ex-
perience. In fact, yellow tobacco is
far more often ruined in the curing
than in the cultivation. Whele uni
form color is the chief aim, when this
color is not present that variety be-
comes aim ost worthless. It is Just
here that the skilled ourer comes in.
Apart from this fact land which pro-
duces dark tobacco will not produce
that variety of the plant which bears a
leaf that Will cure yellow by any known
process or after treatment. Autumn
signals is calumniation with the changed
leaf, and the alchemy of the air fixes
coloring of the weeds. These distinc-
tive variations also exist at maturity in
the leaf of the tobacco plant, and man,
continuing natures uncompleted work,
preserves these qualities and colors in
each variety to which each has been
adapted by soil and climate. The seed
that produced originally the yellow
and mahogany tobaccos of Virginia
- '-~ from
the Orlnoco OF South America. oOII
and climate, with possible chance hy-
bridations, have generally changed our
leaf from the parent type.
In this and adjacent counties are
areas Of blackjack lands, some of them
with fertile soils, resting on sub
stratum of rotten lime stone. With
the same correctives as applied for
cotton and corn it is possible these
lands will produce Southern variety
of the Burley tobacco of Kentucky.
Because it is safest, it will be best,
that the first essays in planting dark
tobacco should be purely tentative.
The markets of the world are loaded
down with mean tobacco, but good to-
bacco is high in price, and always in
demand. In the absence in our State
of any department agriculture, every
farmer individually must make his
own experiments, and | would advise
that he do this in n small way the first
year, until he hits Oh the right seed on
the right soil, and that at first his eff
forts be directed to the purposes of
experiment rather thana profit. Under
the present United States revenue laws
he can sell the tobacco unstemmed in
hands without paying the tax or taking
out a license. and thus retail it in his
.neighborhood at a sufficient return to
pay in part, at least, the cost of pro-
duction and of the experiment.
Tobacco, like cotton, is cash crop,
and if our lands and climate are suit
able, as / believe they are, for grow
ing dark tobacco, then with the
moderate yield of 1000 pounds of
cured leaf to the acre and an average
price Of five cents a pound, it will pay
better than cotton even at ten cents
pound, and at least serve ~ O sup
Elementary crop to the latter.

Gov. BROWN believes that the people Of
Maryland do not like the way the Demo-
cratic ticket was selected, and ventiatrs
his opinion in these words:
"What the people are kicking about is
not Mr.. Hurst, but the manner in which it
is claimed he was nominated No one. so
far as know, has made any objection to
him personally, but many have objected to
the way the machine nominated him.
There is a general unrest here, as well as
in other parts of the country, over ma
chine politics, and nomination which
would have been taken as u matter of
course in this State as elsewhere few years
ago now raises a storm when it is made, no
matter who may be the nominee, or how
high his character may be.
Mr.. Hurst's nomination could have been
made in such manner as to disarm criti-
cism, but the men who managed the Con-
vcntiOn saw fit to have it done in the old
machine style, and that is what raised the
kick.

lions OF that journal TO verify our assertions.
We remark, that it is a generally accepted fact
when persons are very badly frightened
and know they are licked they generally re-
sort to threats, buster and brag, to keep up
the courage of their faint hearted followers,
or to intimidate their adversaries, as the case
may be. Such is the course that is being
pursued by that journal in question. When
it threatens that all persons claiming to be
Democrats. who by their votes next Novem-
Der shall refuse to ratify the nomination of
the ticket that was Jim .fammed upon the
Democratic party by certain astute gentlemen

about the marking qualities of the editor in
question nor the number that he has thus
early in the fray marked down for marking.
Nor do we know much about the temper of
the balance of the county, but will remark,
from present indications, it looks as though
he might have his hands full when he strayS
off down here to do his marking. For rest
assured, he and those who inspire his utter
ances will find that the people OF the First
district are not in the mood at present to
take orders from Rome, much less threats.

TWO BOSSES.

Indianapolis Ne~s: Senator Quay of
Pennsylvania and Senator German of Mary
land, one of whom is supposed to be a
Republican and the other Democrat, but
both OF whom belong to the same school
of politics, have at last succeeded in arous-
ing serious antagOnism in their respective
parties in two States which they represent
in the United States Senate. The fight
against both of them is bitter At present
German seems to he victorious in the fight
against him. He has by his methods
corrupted the State of Maryland to such an
extent that it is an extremely difficult
matter to organize "A movement against him
But he will be overthrow in the not dis
tant future. Such men as he cannot last
Quay's fight is Just beginning, and his
enemies show such vigor and earnestness as
to make the outcome at least doubtful for
the Pennsylvania boss. The elements
opposing him are formidable Magee at
one end of the State and Charles Emory
Smith at the other are adversares not to he
despised. The trouble with Pennsylvania
us with Maryland is that the political
conditions are unfavorable to any move
ment in the direction of reform In the
present case it is possible that even the
defeat of Quay would not be a victory for
reform eXceptin retiring from politics IA
man who should never have attained
prominence That would be fortunate
result. The rout of Quay is indispensable
to any improvement in Pennsylvania
politics. Therefore, it is much to be
desired
1t is time for good citizens of all parties
to combine against the Germans and Quays
and stay combined until they have been
driven from public life. There are many
encouraging signs that people are getting
tired of bosses and bossism. In many
sections of the country great victories have
been won for popular as against boss govern
ment. The revolt is spreading, and it will
continue to spread. Whether or not it has
reached Pennsylvania is the question. 1t
will reach it i'll time. Not only Quay and
German, but Quayism and Gormanism are
doomed.

MR.. MASTERS CAMPAIGN.

Before another issue of the WING. the
Cambridge convention will have assem-
bled and named the Republican candidate
for Governor.
We are no less convinced now, than when
we first advocated the nomination of the
Hon VIM. T. Master that his selection
will excite the greatest enthusiasm in the
Republican ranks, and rally to the support
of the Republican ticket the greatest num-
Der of Independent voters.
No candid man, if he be at all familiar
with the political conditions now existing
in the State will deny, that the people are
behind VIM. T. Master, and that he is in
the highest sense, the popular candidate.
1t is true, that the machinery of his
party has been used for the benefit of
another aspirant for the nomination, and
the influence of the Republican organiza-
ton has not been in Mr.. Masters favor.
But this fact, has intensified the demand
for his nomination among the rank and file
of the people.
Political machines and party Bosses are
not at this time particularly in favor in
either party of Maryland, and the splendid
popular following developed for Mr.. NAL
ster in every county of the State, shows
that he has the sympathy of the people
and is in every sense their candidate.
1t is almost needless to discuss what Mr.

county.

ticket in Cecil county cannot be elected
without his name at the head Of it, but we

WHAT THE STAR" THINKS.

In its last weeks issue, the North East
Star had this sensible editorial comment on
the German ticket:
The Democratic State ticket is before the
people. John +. Hurst, of Baltimore for
Governor, Marion Dek. Smith of Kent for
Comptroller, Charles c. Crothers of Cecil
for Attorney-General. 1t was named last
Wednesday, Everybody says ''Gorman
did it, The hand of the big chief is 90
plainly visible that what Everybody says
this time must he so" And that lis one
objection to the ticket. Not that Mr.. Cor
man is not qualified to make nominations,
but that the people of the State would like
to have some ray about it. All the names
for a candidate for Governor that have been
urged by the people, in greater or less
numbers, for weeks and months back, were
laid OH the shelf, and new man who had
named by the big boss. 1t would seem
that this act bears out all the charges Of
dictatorship that have been laid at Mr.
Germans front or back doors. 1t is rX

II to add to the strength of the local ticket
that may prove to be a mistake Mr..
Crothers. for obvious reasons would work
just as herd for its success off the ticket as
on it. Besides there is an element of weak
ness in his nomination. in that the mere
mention Of his name for political prefer
ment, acts upon some people whose strength
is not to be sneezed at, as a red blanket
does when Haunted before certain species
of the genus quadruped. In these times,
so threatening to Democratic supremacy in
Maryland, it would seem to have been the
part of wise politics to have avoided such
risks. Mr.. Crothers' recent running rec
ord in Cecil seems to have been lost sight of.
Wednesdays Democratic Convention
really appears to have frightened the pros
poets for Republican success next fall.

ARE MARYLAND PEOPLE SLAVES

Under this heading the Cumberland
independent says: ''For treason tn a people
and treachery to professed principles the
conduct of Maryland's regular" demo-
cratic convention on Wednesday last begs
for a parallel. Where will it find one? Not
in current events. In the written or I'M
written history of Maryland it is not Nay
the bargaining Benedict Arnold does not
exceed it in scoundrelism and disgrace
And the treason of Judas IscariOt outweighs
it only in the fact that there is no compari-
son between the victims.
"The one man in Maryland, who more
than all Others has fought and opposed a
retaliation of property was nominated :or
Governor. Think OF it-delegates elected
by IA reassessment cry, pledged to a reassess-
ment candidate and adopting a reassess-
ment platform selecting for Governor IL
candidate whose only public notoriety
comes from his earnest and vigorous
opposition to reassessment. 1t is the most
complete throttlng Of the peoples will that
has ever been recorded.
But the deal has been made. The
people have been sold out. Mr. Hayes
has been wronged. Although the Iade-
pcndcm did not and does not approve of all
his ideas upon the question of taxation we
do see in Mr.. Hayes the traits of manhood
and character and we admire his independ-
ence and courage of conviction. We
sympathze with him in the wrong that
has been done him. but our pity is stayed
when we are reminded that he should have
known his confidence was given in the
wrong house.
''He has reasons for knowing that treason
to principle was common sin in the COM
pany he sought. He had reason, too, as
every intelligent man ought to know, that
where treason to principle is common, trea-
son to men will find sufficient inducement.
So much for Mr.. Hayes.
"Of Mr.. German we have only to say
that he did the bargaining and is entitled
to what the act merts-an act, which, for
baseness, begs for parallel.
'rhe ticket nominated does not repre-
sent the wishes of the people, and the
action of the Republican State Convention
will be awaited anxiously."
