making other crops on the land.
There are numerous examples where
planters have more than paid for their
farms from the first years crop.
John Norwood, Of Townsville, Vance
county, bought small farm last year
for which he paid $3.50. From this
small farm he sold this year $1,000
worth of tobacco, in addition to
raising his home supplies.
Some years ago Ira L. Hart of
Vance county, took a five years lease
on farm near Henderson at $3.50 per
year. For the past four years his
:obacco crops have paid him on an
average over $500 per year.
AS stated before, that section
stretching AZ miles from Henderson
to Durham, along the D. & N. branch
OF the Seaboard Air Line system, is
one of the finest tobacco localities in
the State. Taken as whole, the plant
ers through this locality are perhaps
better off than anywhere else in North
Corolna, and their prosperity has
resulted from fine crops of the finest
tobacco grown in the world. 1t is a
noted fact that the tobacco farmers
from small locality along the
D. & N. road deposited in the banks
of Henderson last year, within one
months time, over $4,000 of surplus
money. At Creedmore, Farintosh,
+ ish Dam, Lyons, Northside and other
points there are scores of planters who
are rapidly accumulating property,
and who live in the most comfortable
style.
W. c. Flemming, of Lyons, sold
from five acre crop S1,975 worth Of
tobacco last year, making an average
of nearly $500 per acre for his entire
crop.
From four acres his brother, R. H.
Flemming, sold s1,7S7.5o worth OF
tobacco, making the enormous yield
of S446 per acre.
Ralph Currin, of Northside, made a
crop last year which equalled the
above, but the exact figures are not at
hand.

he prosperity OF Louisburg, War

The prosperity OF Louisburg, War
renton, Raleigh and other places is
also largely due to the tobacco
business, and as the lands are settled
farther South by experienced tobacco
growers, the towns of the Seaboard
Air Line will develop into other Hen
dersons and Durhams and the country
will be dotted with the homes of pros
porous and Contented planters.
The Seaboard Air Line system is
under the management of wide awake
and progressive men who are using
every influence 10 bring useful settlers
and industries to the territory through
which their lines pass. Mr.. X. &.
Hoffman, who is president OF the
system, has his office in Baltimore.
The general Offices are located at
Portsmouth, Va, where the following
officials have their headquarters: Mr..
John H. Winder, general manager;
Mr.. H. w. B. Glover. general freight
agent, and Mr.. I. ]. Anderson, gen
eral passenger agent. Since the
coming of Mr.. St. John, who is 4
Western man with modern ideas Of
immigration, to the road, this system
has taken new interest in the matter Of
locating new settlers and new indus
tries within its territory. Strong
efforts are being made to induce a
better class of settlers to locate upon
the tributary lands, and those who do
locate there will have every possible
assistance from the road and its oblig-
ing officials. A thrifty class of new
comers is wanted, such as will develop
the lands and become large producers
and thus make business for the road.
The road has no lauds of its own
to boom, but is equally interested IN
every part of its main line and branches.
1t recognizes the fact that every good
settler will become producer OF
freight, and in this way add to the
revenue of the road. Furthermore,
every good settler improves his own
farm, and in doing this enhances the
value Of the surrounding lands and
becomes Of solid value to the locality
in which he lives. Those who are in
terested in the above mentioned gold
producing lands will receive fuller
information and every assistance by
addressing any of the officials of the
great Seaboard Air Line system.

f. f. Freeman, of Creedmore, sold
his crop last year of 2,7oo pounds,
the product Of three acres, at an
average of s57 per 100 pounds.
w. H. Hicks, of Fish Dam, made
an average two years ago Of 1910
pounds per acre, and sold the entire
crop at an average price of S37 per
100 pounds.
John Hall, of Durham, averaged
100 pounds per acre on his crop, and
sold his tobacco at an average price
of s56.SI per 100 pounds.
The entire section traversed by the
Durham & Northern road is highly
adapted to the growth of the finest

Turning to the main line again we
find the lands from Henderson to
Raleigh and beyond, through Chat
ham county, produce tobacco Of the
highest type, and we only have space
for the mention of few examples to
show what is being done by the intel
llgent planters:
In 1904, E. L. Bartholomew, of
Wake county, made 1900 pounds OF
tobacco from one and quarter acres
which sold for S246,94.
VIM. Yates, OF Ewing, Wake county,
planted five acres in tobacco last year
from which he gathered 5,oe4 pounds,
selling the same for SI,o56.2o, an
average of over s2oo per acre.
A. NJ. Council, near Raleigh, from
two and a half acres raised 2,4oo
pounds Of tobacco last season, and
sold the same for 5000.
w. B. Upchurch, of Morrisville
Wake county, planted six acres las
year, from which he sold tobacco tc

The Foundation Stone of Success.
Edward w. Box, in Ladies HON
Journal

Edward w. Box, in Ladies' Home
Journal
The one great rule OF business is
that of honesty, absolute and unquall-
fed honesty. All the rules of business
are worthless if they are not founded
on that one and only foundation stone
to true commercial success. Honesty
is not alone the best policy in business !;
it is the one and only policy. Upon
it, and upon it alone can a good repu-
tation be built, and man in business
without reputation for honesty might
just as we'll stop. Any deviation from
the rule of honesty in business may
bring temporary gain, but it invariably
means permanent loss. On the other
hand 4 strict adherence to an honest
policy may mean Temporary loss, but
it is sure to result in permanent gain.

GONE GRAND SWEET SONU."
So President Cleveland In a Letter
to a Friend Designates His Married
ife

ATLh ,>TA, GA, July IA letter
from p. osldent Cleveland, in which he
speaks of his married life as one
"Grand Sweet Song" has been brought
to light by the news of the recent ten
der event at Gray Gables.
In December, 1890, Col. John Tenn
pie Graves, the Southern orator, was
sending out invitations to his approach
ing wedding to Miss Anna Cothran, of
Rome, Ga. His sent one to his per-
sonal friends, the ex-President and
Mrs. Cleveland, who were then re-
siding on Madison avenue, New YORK.
Acknowledging receipt of the invi-
tation, Mr.. Cleveland wrote as follows:
"MY DEAR Mr.. GRAVES: We received
the card of invitation to your wedding
day or two ago, and | am glad that
your letter received only Il few hours ago
justifies me, on behalf OF my dear wife
and myself, to do more than formally
notice the occasion.
"And first of all let me assure you how
much we appreciate the kind and touch
ing sentiment you convey to us in our
married state As look back upon the
years that have passed since God in his
infinite goodness, bestowed upon me the
best of all his gfts-a loving and affec-
tionate wife-all else-honor the oppor-
tunity of usefulness and the esteem of
my fellow countrymen-are subordi-
mated in every aspiration OF gratitude
and thankfulness. You are not wrong.
therefore when you claim, in the atmos-
phere OF fast coming bliss which now sur
rounds you, kinship with one who can
testify with unreserved tenderness to the
sanctifcatiOn which comes to man when
heaven directed love leads the way to
marriage.
''Since this tenderer theme has made us
kinsmen, let me wish for you and the
dear one who is to make your life dOubly
dear to you, all the Joy and happiness
vOuchsafed to man.

wishes can reach no greater sincerity and
force than when my wife Joins in the fer

Col. Graves has kept the letter in a
white ann gold frame hanging in his
parlor at Manchester. Two years ago
he wrote to President Cleveland for
permission to publish the letter for its
influence upon the domestic life Of the
Ameri an people. Mr.. Cleveland, re-
plying, said that although he had for
COTTON the verbiage Of the letter, he
left the publication to the ''delicacy
and discretion; of his friend.

was furnished the Mariposa, and
the vessel departed promptly at
5 p.m.

Word was received from Homo
lulu by the steamer which arrived
yesterday that Charles r. Bishop,
first vice-president of the Bank of
California in this city, had given
100000 to schools and societies
in the Hawaiian Islands.
Mr.. Bishop was seen last night
at the Occidental Hotel, and was
requested to make some mention
of the matter. The gentleman,
who is a millionaire five or six
times over, has his own ideas
about things and is very dogmatic
in maintaining them. He con-
firmed the truth about having
made a large donation of money to
the island schools, but refused to
mention the sum. He did say it
was a large sum, and was particu-
lar to neither affirm nor deny that
100000 was the amount.
81 did not wish to have my do
nation made public" he said last
evening, with an evidently sincere
show of feeling, "and L do not wish
to make any comment on the sub
iect. The Examiner somehow
seems to have some knowledge
about my action. l cannot but
appreciate that its motive is to get
the news, and for that reason will
say I have given the schools
down there a large donation in
money"
1t appears that upon the death
of his wife in 1884 she bequeathed
her estate, which has an annual
income of $65, ZOO, to the Kameha-
meha schools in Honolulu. They
consist of a school for boys and
one for girls. The buildings are
pretentious in size and equipment,
and are modern in every respect.
Some $50 boys and girls are now
being educated in them.
Mrs. Bishops estate was left in
trust to Messrs. Damon, Hyde,
SdIlCI anu OOOhCS oil JIOnluCnI
men in Honolulu, for the benefit of
these schools. Mr.. Damon was
formerly partner of Mr.. Bishop.
Mr.. Bishop practically admitted
last night that to these gentlemen
would be entrusted his large dona-
ton for the benefit of these same
schools, Oahu College and several
other institutions of learning. Oahu
College will be given a new build
ing at a cost of $4,000. 1t is a
preparatory school, which has a
large attendance, and at one time |
or another in their youth, all the |
men now prominent In the islands |
have received instruction within its |
walls. President Dole was a scholar
there so was A. f. Judd, the pres

licly announced. The GLOBES
source of information is such, and
the facts in the case are so well
authenticated, that there is little
doubt this silver convention move
ment will shortly be heard of else
where.
Counter conventions, under the
guise of bimetallism, are being reck-
oned on by the silver men. They ex-
pect one to be held in Wisconsin
and another in New York, possibly
also in Iowa. These will be dis
counted, it is hoped, by the pro-
silver aggregations to be massed

the white money men are reckoning
on making their movement so dis
tinctly non-partisan that the gold

expectation is based on the idea that

Part Of the Deal to Secure
! a Declapation--Some In
tepvieWS.

There will be free silver conven-
/ ton in Minnesota during the COM
ing summer or fall. 1t will most
likely be held in the latter part of
September or the early days of
October.
There is, of course, a possibility
that this proposed convention will
fail through, but from present indi-
cations, failure is a remote POSSIBLE
ity indeed. Promoters of the idea
the men who will have the manage
ment of the meeting-are moving
quietly and cautiously.
Within a month or two, however.
they will have the plan sufficiently
matured to uncover it to the gen.
eral public. At present the pro-
nounced free silver men in the con-
gressional districts are being con-
suited as to the feasibility and the
advisability of holding such a con-
vention. On their replies will largely
depend the outcome of the move
ment.
1t is planned on broad lines, as the
GLOBE learns, and will take in ev-

he is an avowed advocate of free

Of all men, and he is as potential in
the big Second congressional dis
trict as any man who lives within
its borders. His paper, the Martin
County Sentinel, is the pioneer free
. silver paper among the Republican
weeklies. Day is not only bold and
aggressive, but he rs finished poll
t1clan and a peerless manipulation
Of deals that decide contests. Then,
too, he is regarded as the successor
OF eX-COngressman John Lind-Who
is most likely to be chairman of the
conVention-in the affections of the
V1rile, fighting element in the Sec
ond district. Days influence and
power, backed by Lind's prestige
and advice, would bring a great dele
! cation to such a gathering. OF the
democrats, Gen. James II. Baker,
). b. Nelson, A. D. La Due and a
few others would be called on to Sc
cure a representative delegation.
George N. Lamphere, of the Moor
head News, will head the hosts from
the North; and with them would
come the Republicans who swear by
the Princeton Union, State Auditor
Dunn's paper. Hon. w. F. KeIso. of
klttson county; Mayor Lewis, of
Moorhead, and other active Demo-
Gratis from that section will be asked
to come along to the silver feast
and assist at the anticipated funeral
OF the gold bugs.
In every other district the same
plan of campaign is TO be followed
prominent men, good takers, infiu-
entail writer's and active workers are
to be enlisted, and they will be
urged to drop party enmities for a
While and bend every energy to the
labor of turning out large delega-
lions to the non-partisan council of
silverites, for silver's sake alone.
A WIDESPREAD MOVE.
When this thing is analysed and
sifted there is left a conviction that
