MANILA TOBACCO.

In an editorial article upon the sub
ject of the products of the Philippines
the New York Journal of Commerce has
this to say about the tobacco Of that
country:
The tobacco is as well-known In Eu-
rope and Asia as the tobacco OF Cuba
Is in this country; it is extensively cul-
tivated and it's manufacture is the sta
pie business of the capital. One manu-
featuring company Is said to have n cap
ital of SIS, 900 000-silver dollars presuma-
blv-and to employ 10000 persons in the
production of cigars, cigarettes, and
smoking tobacco. In the northern part
of LuzOn is said to be a valley twenty
miles long and ten miles wide. available
for the raising of a fine quality of the
leaf. 1t Is not open to doubt that the
resources of the islands for the produc-
ton of these three staples have been only
touched But 10000 acres are devoted to
tobacco. It is only in recent years that
the Spanish Government has abandoned
it's monopoly of the tobacco business,
under which growers had to cell al a
price fixed by the government, which,
of course, did not leave the margin Of
profit too high Since the monopoly
was abolished, the business has expand
ed, and is capable of great growth. The
sugar crop of the current year Is esti-
mated at little less than 10000 tons,
or from a quarter to a fifth of the Cuban
crops before the war. At a recent date
there were 500 cattle-mills, 239 steam
mills, 80 water-mills, and only three vac-
uum pans for the production Of sugar in
the islands,

PASSENGER DEPOTS.

Augusta and Atlanta have long been
murmuring in vain against the passenger
depots Of those cities Recently they in
voked the aid of the State Board of Rail-
road Commissioners, and several con-
ferences have been held between that
board, the railroad officers, and the re-
personalities of those cities. The re-
suit is that Augusta is TO have a new
depot, and the Atlanta Constitution says
"a good start has been made towards
abolishing the railroad car-shed' in that
city.
1t is to be hoped that the proposed
action Of these roads will stir an emu
lative spirit in the breasts Of The South
ern Railway Company and the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway Company, and
cause them to provide Richmond with
passenger stations for their roads, In
keeping with the dignity Of this city
and the standing Of their companies.

CENTENNIAL OF DEMOCRACY.

In his speech at Marion on Monday Sen
ator Daniel called attention to the fact
that two years hence would occur the
centennial Of Democracy. The suggestion
is obvious. 1t is that the occasion should
be celebrated by the raising of a monu-
ment to Democracy in the shape OF a
Democratic national triumph. The work
Of laying the foundation of that monu-
ment should begin now and what is more
meet than that Virginia, the State of the
father of Democracy, should place in tn
foundation ten good and true Democratic
stones? What is more meet than that ouI
congressional delegation should constitute
the cornerstone of the monument? Il.
laboring for that contamination both SEN
timent and duty are involved.

PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY


Every living thing, plant or animal, con
tains within itself the germs OF certain
decay and death.
In the human body these germs Of
disease and death tcalled by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the result OF Inn
perfect digestion of food; the result OF In
digestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness
does not promptly and thoroughly diges'
the food. The result Is a heavy. solder
mass which ferments 0he first process OF
decay, poisoning the blood, making II
thin. weak. and lacking In red corpuscles
poisoning the brain, causing headaches
and pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart, causing
palpitation and finally bringing on disease
OF this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ.
every nerve. depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digestion shows itself not only In
loss of appetite and flesh, but In weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
The great>English scientist, Huxley, said
the best start in life is a sound stomach.
Weak stomachs fail to digest food proper
~. because they lack the proper quantity
of digestive acids Qactic and hydrochloric)
and peptogenic products; the most sensi-
BILE remedy in all cases of indigestion.
It TO take after each meal one or two OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. because they
supply in a pleasant, harmless form all
tho elements that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves. a bright eye and clear COM
plexion. because all these result only from
wholesome food well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets at 80 cents, full sized
package. or by mail by enclosing price to

your druggist first.

TIRED OF NEGROISM.
The White Men of Eastern Carolina

SCOTLAND NECK. n. C., September
22.-(Special.) THE Democratic party in
Eastern Carolina has not been stirred as
II is now in twenty years. So many out
RACES and scandals have marked the pres
ent state administration, that decent peo-
pie have become Disguised. Almost all
white men will vote together in the
coming election. Many who have been
strong POpulsts for several years are
openly declaring that they cannot longer
vote that ticket; that it is now a question
Of white supremacy against negroism.
and they are still white men.
George II. White, the colOred congress-
man rom this district, tells the negroes
that inasmuch as he is the only negro
congressman in the United States Con-
gress, the cry amongst the whites of
negro domination is an empty sound. He
says nothing. however, about the fact
that here in Halifax county every post
Office Of any Importance. except one, is
N the hands of the negroes.
These things are disgusting the better
class Of Populists, and in the Democratic
convention in Halifax this week. some
who had been acting with the Populists
stood up and declared their return and
loyalty TO the Democratic party. In that
convention there was perfect unity OF
opinion and expression, thing that had
not been seen in a Democratic conven-
ton here for a dozen years, perhaps.
Captain f. A. Thorne, who has been act
ing with the Populists, came forward
with the declaration that the only saliva
ton for North Carolina is in and through
the Democratic party.
The tobacco market which was opened
here August 4th has done very well. in
