With characteristics effronty, the
Democrats are charging that the al
legged hemp famine which is said to be
prevailing in the United States, is
due to the Philippine war and to the
consequent closing of the island ports.
1t would be just as logical to charge
the Increased cost Of building mater
ial and pretty much everything else to
the war instead of to the magnificent
tide of prosperity that is sweeping
over the country.
Advance sheets of the November
number of the Commerce of the
United States, just issued by the
Treasury Bureau Of Statistics, show
that the imports of hemp for the first
eleven months of 1899 have been
larger thar those for any proceeding
year except 1897 aud that they are
within per cent of those Of that
year.
1t is true that the imports Of hemp
from Manila itself have fallen off
nearly one-third, as compared with
the yearly imports from there. but
the deficiency from this source has
been made up by imports from Great
Britain and other countries. which
have increased about 700 per cent.
Sisal grass, grown in Mexico, is a
very common substitute for hemp,
and, if there were q real scarcity of
the latter, would unquestionably be
largely imported to take the place.
But rs matter of fact, the 1889 inn
ports fall considerably behind those
of proceeding years. Perhaps the
cordage trust might explain this ceu-
dition of affairs.

To the Editor of The Republican:
A short sketch in your paper OF
Dec. 21. taken from the Leadcr-Demo-
crat relating to the finding of two
dead bucks by A. L. Weathermsn, ol
Walnut Shade, with their horns in
terlocked, reminds me of accounts
given me by hunters in the early days
when Taney county was sparsely set
tied, and groups of beautiful deer fed
on the luxuriant growth of tender
vegetation, it was common for ell
ragged bucks to meet in fierce combat
Numbers of these struggles have been
witnessed by citizens. Many inter
esting tales of this kind have been
told by the old time hunters. No
doubt when Mr.. Weatherman dis
covered the two dead deer he thought
of such occurrences in the long ago,
Encounters between the "antlered
monarchs" of the forest is furious in
deed. 1t is something similar to
two savage bulls. Among several de-
scriptions of this kind obtained from
hunters, is one told me by w. A,
Pumphrey who was for many years q
leading merchant of Load Hill, Ark,
but now of Fall River, Kans. MI
Humphreys story was about as fol-
lows:
"One day in the fall of 1867 l visit
ed my father-in-law,. Mat Laughlin,
OH Beaver creek. had been married
but q short time and needed some ne
cessary articles for house keeping,
and my pocket-book being tfrabby' 1
had but little to buy with, but on the
following morning 1 decided to go to
Forsyth and purchase the needed sup
plies as fur as my money went. As /
proceeded along OH the ridge, a short
distance from the residence of JEFF
Williams 1 observed by the road side
two bucks engaged in furious strug-
gle. Their horns were locked to-
gether and they were not able to
force them apart. The scene of the
comba: covered about three acres of
land which was marked by weeds and
grass being trampled down, young
sapGngs and bushes had been run
over. and other evidence showed that
the fight had been long and desper-
ate. Both animals were large aud in
fine condition and each carried a
heavy set of horns. When 1 first
came in sight of them they appeared
to be much wearied, but when l rode
up near them they both renewed their
energy and began struggling as
furious as before. sat on my pony
and watched their actions, and one
that never viewed a fight between
bucks can hardly imagine the reality
of it. They would surge, push and
pull until it seemed that they were
exhausted, but often resting few
moments the fight would continue as
lively as ever. Finally my curiosity
was satisfied and I ended the combat
by shooting them to death with my
Colts revolver. 1 made an effort to
disentangle their horns with nv
hands, but failing in this 1 broke of q
beam from the head of one of the
bucks with a stone before could un-
lock the points. Ithen went to work
with my bears edged hunting knife
and took the hides of, and after drcss-
ing each deer, loaded the hides and
venison on my horse, and like q nim-
rod OF old, proceeded on my way.

To Petition tho Councils.

A petition is being circula ted in that
section or Bramblcton Ward traversed
by the Brambleton avenue line of the
Norfolk Street Hallway requesting the
Councils to take some action looking
to the Improvement of the service rem
dered by this line. 1t is claimed that
the railroad company have been Vio-
lating the terms of their franchise in
the matter of interval that should
clapsc between the passage OF cars
going In the same direction.
a VirEinian-Pilot reporter called on
General Manager Peter Wright, of the
Street Railway Company, to see what
basis the petition is founded on. Mr..
Wright stated that the company's scr
vice at Brambleton is handicapped be-
cause II is not permitted to run its
cars on Clay or Park avenues until the
paving operations there are concluded
and these streets reopened to travel.
When the company Is allowed to run
on these streets, rs IT would do at
once if the city authorities would per-
nit regular and satisfactory service
will, he states, be resumed.

The recent announcement that the
Bell Telephone Company will double
its charges for telephone service after
September LIST. has caused the Board
of Trade and BUSINESS Mems Associa-

vestigation as to telephone rates; and

of having the charges fixed on some
basis that will he fair and equitable.
IT is the opinion OF many of the pa

new rates should be modified in ac-
cordancc with conditions which exist
here. In the meantime, many sub
scribcrs will await developments be-

ED THE DISASTER OF DROUGHT.
Recent rains in this vicinity and In
the counties of Nansemond, Isle of
Wight. Surry, Southampton and Sus-
sex. where the bulk of the peanut crop
grows, have increased the prospects for
peanuts. During the drought, which
prevailed for five or six weeks. the
farmers became dispondent. They
feared that not one-third of the ordi-
nary yield would mature. The rains
have changed the prospects for pea
nuts and raised the farmers hopes.
1t is said now that rain enough has
fallen In this state and in North Caro-
lima peanut belt to insure II full har-
vest OF the peanut crop.
The prices OF peanuts have ruled gen.
orally high. But there is n little de-
preston because of increased prospects
for full crop in the fall. The prices
for yesterday were as follows:
Fancy. 22sM2Hc.; strictly prime, ego

The market for cleaned goods (hand
