made 5000. the other $3.50. II,
says the fine tobacco is grown il
a wide area in the State now
and with wonderful results. The
fine old tobacco counties no lon
ger lead.
We propose to pick some ex
amp.es of great success ont of 4
great many reported.
Frank Wortham, of Vance
averaged S57.25 per hundred
pounds on 10000 grown on
eleven acres On four acres he
averaged 5000. That is fine.
When was this done-lately or
ten or twenty year ago. Have
such prices anywhere obtained
within TWO or FIVE years ? J. NJ
Green, OF Vance. obtained $500
from twelve acres two years ago.
Henry Hart, of Vance, paid
81, 100 for farm of thirty, six
acres. His first tobacco crop
fetched sI,I83-and the time
seven months. That is splendid
farming People leave Nort.,
Carolina where such things hap
pen. We heard a farmer offer
to sell J. c. Cooper, of Oxford.
his farm for 81, 800. That year
he and a fourteen year old boy
supported the family and cleared
81 400 on the tobacco alone
SIoo more than the farm was
offered for. That was about
I87o,72. S. A. Satterw hite, of
Vance, is worth $4,000 and
OWNS one of the best farms. He
began some years as a day Ia
borer. D. Y. Cooper, of Vance,
sold s. 900 of tobacco from his
first crop upon farm that cost
him S5,257. He raised other
crops. These are certainly re-
markablc examples. What State
can equal or beat it ? In the
same county John Norwood paid
$3.50 for small farm. He grew
his own supplies and sold in one
year 81 400 worth of tobacco.
Still in Vance, Ira T. Hart leas
ed farm for $3.50. His crop of
tobacco for four years past has
averaged S3,5oo-it most satis>
factory investment. Such lands
ought to rent for $loo an acre,
as they sometimes did i'll old
Granville within the last twenty
years.
There are other very striking
examples given from other coun
ties or sections. We are not
sure. but think the following ex-
are from Greenville: j.
c. Fleming obtained SI.975 for
a flve-acre crop. His brother,
r. II. Fleming, secured SI,787.5o
for four acres average S446.
Ralph Currin got as much. l..
E. Freeman, for crop of three
acres averaged s37 per hundred.
John Hall, of durham county,
averaged $685. on entire crop,
or about $3.50 an acre. Near
Raleigh, A NJ. Council received
5000 for product of two and a
halt acres. w. Is. Upchurch, OK
planted six acres and re-
ceived $I.5Io.
Good lands may be obtained
from So to $40. A large tract
on the Raleigh and CASTOR road
some two years ago sold tor less
than 81 all acre. Some farms,
highly improved, will sell for
$50 or $40 an acre. The cost of
producing tobacco varies. The
Granville Tobacco Club, after
more than twelve years Of trial,
estimate cost at $42.5o. The
North Carolina Tobacco Associ-
alton places the cost at S48.75.
We are sorry that the statistics
from Granville, Person, Orange
and CasWell are not given at

Presbyterian Social.

About two hundred people gathered
at the Presbyterian church last night
to participate in the annual social. Re-
ports were heard from the different
departments of the church and all were
of an encouraging nature. A pleasing
address was given by Rev. j. E. Groen-
dyke, of Carroll, on Enthusiasm in
Church Work" This was followed by a
social time during which refreshments
we're served, old acquaintance were re-
newed and new ones formed which will
be of great value in the future work of
the church. We are pleased to learn
that committee was appointed to Sc
cure plans for a new church. This does
not mean that the Presbyterians intend
to push the work of new church now
but that it is preparatory step to that
end and we trust in the near future to
see this people possess a building in
keeping with their standing in this
community and commemorative with
their growing needs.

Letter From Clyde Baker.

San Francisco, Calf, Oct. %, 1898.
Dear Friends at Home:
1t has been bothering me some
what whether would write to paper
or not. put it off because | felt I'm
able to write an interesting letter but to-
day will try my luck for the first time.
L can say that the treatment of the boys
here in Frisco has been very good in
deed. We have no kick coming at all
only that we wanted to go to the front
as we expected as soon as we landed in
Frisco"
We have all we want to sustain life
and some besides. The regiment had
its weekly inspection this morning and
as soon as it was over we were turned
loose. We got paid yesterday and most
all of the boys are up today. UNDER
stand that we sign the pay roll again
next week and get two months pay in a
few days. That is almost a sure sign
that we are bound for Manila. We will
be happy set of boys as we march to
the wharf to go on board our transport.
Yesterday was holiday for the Iowa
regiment. We went down to Palo Alto
to see the Iowa foot ball team play a
game with the Stanford college students.
We have first class team. They COM
menced playing and we boys commenced
yelling on the good work of our boys.
Our boys held the ball most all the time.
The other team could not do anything at
all and at the end of the game the score
stood 6 to 0 in favor of the Iowa team.
After short time we got on the train
and left the defeated boys on the field
practicing. The boys now have a
game with the Berkly boys l think
that team is stronger than ours but the
Iowa boys will give them close game.
Berkly is east of the bay and south of
Oakland. We all expect to attend the
game and cheer up the boys.
It's almost certain that we go to Manila
because all of our light underwear, white
suits and new tents are here. The tents
are only large enough for four persons.
After pay day there is always large
gang of people selling pictures, soap,
towels and anything person can think
of to get our money We can't lay up
much out here because there is SO many
things to see.
Our Chaplain returned yesterday with
his little wife. After the guard mount
the band serenaded them He then
gave a short speech and the boys around
cheered him. Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Cot
feen returned yesterday from Council
Bluffs where they have been on a fur
Tough. We were as glad to see them
back as they were to get back The
ladies of Council Bluffs sent each man
in company l. a towel and handkerchief.

majority, and if she hasn't the banner
for big majorities this year, she at least
stands very close to the banner. That
is the size of her majority when Grant
used to run. But she had reasons for
doing so. Iowa people are the grand
est people in the country and they
know what to do when emergencies
come. They disbelieved democracy's
reports of cruelty to our soldiers, and
refused to be charmed by the cheap
money and hard times songs.
Iowa sends solid republican delega-
ton to congress again. Hedge gets
$500, Lane 1,4O0, Henderson 5000,
Haugen 1000, Cousins 5000, Lacey
1900, Hull 1900, Hepburn 300, Nc
Pherson 1880, Dolliver 5000, Thomas
5000. These figures may vary some
but are approximate. Weaver, Finn
and Lyons are not congenial to Iowa.
Audubon county did its full part in
the good work. 1t gave the state
ticket 2S7 majority, which only lacked
one vote of the splendid result of 1896.
1t ran Mcpherson several votes ahead
of his ticket 1t elected all the county
ticket but county attorney, and by
good majorities.
We present on another page tabu-
lated vote of the county by precincts
This is not official, but no doubt is very
nearly correct.
Our returns on congressman are not
complete, two precincts not reporting
but if Mcpherson runs with his ticket
in those two he will have 295, or will
run eight ahead of his ticket. Although
some republicans scratched him, he
yet showed his strength with the
people.
Judge Green got fine vote, running
80 ahead. Judges Thornell and Smith
ran well, the former leading the state
ticket by 80 and the latter by l6.
Martin Esbeck again proved his
strength by running well the county
over and leading the county ticket.
Greenwaldt comes next with 223. He
conducted splendid campaign and
was with very few exceptions well
supported 5y republicans. The demo-
Gratis made a hard fight against him.
Woodward gets nearly 200. Heshould
have had more, but the persistent
activity of his opponent counted for
