The Concord Tribune talks much as

that what these ominous words mean?
If it is, we submit that the Tribune

than it should participate in pri-

SUCCESSFUL FARMING IN HALIFAX.
One Farmer Has r1ade $4,000 and
Another $4,000 in a Few Years.

Mr. S. S. Alsop, edltor OF the En-
field Ledger, writing on the subject of
farmers and farming, gives the follow
in. examples of successful farming in
Halifax county:
Mr.. W. r. Neyill. OF Heathsville,
n. c., lost his father when fourteen
years of age. His fathers estate was
in debt, but he went to work with his
mother and paid off the debt. After
becoming of age he worked with his
mother for several years at q salary
of $3.50 per year, and also followed
tho profession of surveying, being
elected several terms county sur
yeyor. After in this matter accumu-
lating a small capital he went into
farming on his own account. Mr..
Nevill adopted the method Of raising
home supplies, and it is very seldom
he buys any meat, corn or forage. He
makes all three OF the money crops of
Eastern Carolina - cotton, peanuts
and tobacco-never risking all on any
one crop. AS result of this system,
Mr. Nsvill is in easy circumstances,
having to borrow no money, and
while it is hard to estimate the value
of land and stock, he is certainly
worth S., 900 to 5000, made mostly
within five or six years.
Mr.. George r. Cannon, of Ep-
werth, N. G., until about nine years
ago, had bsen busily engaged in SOW
ing a crop Of wild oats, and as a re-
suit of this pleasant occupation sue
ceeded in creating 4 debt of $1,000,
which was secured by mortgage on
his plantation; when the thought oc-
Cured to him that he might devote
his labors to crops that would yield
him better return. He immediate
iy changed about and devoted him
self with great assiduity to the culti-
vation of his farm, making home sup
plies first and then all he could Of the
money crops-cotton, peanuts and
tobacco.
A visit to the farm OF Mr. Cannon
a few days since showed the result oi
his new system. The mortgage o1
s., 900 is among the things that were
his pastures are stocked with i'm
proved breeds of hogs, and his stalls
are filled with Jersey cattle. All o
his mules and horses are fat anC
sleek. Lying in the yard are 100 bale:
of cotton of last years crop. Seeing
house filled with other cotton, tn,
writer inquired about it, and was in
! formed it was the crop Of year befor
last. Being matter of delicacy h
did not inquire about MIR. Cannon
bank account, but he has no doubt i
is healthy one. He lives on one o
the finest farms in the county, an
has another farm I. short distsnc
away.
Making rough estimate OF Mr.
Gammon's wealth, the writer woul'
put it at from $40, 200 to $50. 900, an
all this the result Of nine years work

MARTINIQUE MAY BE ABANDONED
Philadelphia Record.

IHllduelpllid hecGiu
Inflated Martinique may be aban
doned, after all, SO intense is the ap-
prehension in French official circles
of further disaster. Volcanic action
still continues with enormous and
destructive energy, and the inhabi-
tants OF the island who remain alive
are clustered near Fort de France, as
far removed as possible from the
centre of eruptive effort, yet near
enough to become victims OF any
cataclysm that might overwhelm the
island. Nor is such a dread contin
gency impossible or unprecedented.
Krakatoa remained in state Of erup-
ton for more than three months pre-
ceding the final catastrophe that
shook the world. The gigantic and
overmastering internal forces that
are reducing Martinique and St. Vim
cent to heaps of cinders and hot lava
may at any time burst forth with
elemental fury and strike in an in
stant two gems from the cluster of
the Lesser Antilles. If scientists have
aught to say Of this fearful visitation,
il scientific inquiry is to be in this in
stance practical rather than didacti-
cal, the efforts of the learned men
who have gone to Martinique might
well be devoted TO forecasting future
seismic cOnvulsions and allaving un-
due popular alarm.
