LETTER FROM CLYDE JACOBS
Writes Interestingly to his Friend
John Connaughton of Farm
ing in Northern Wisconsin.
Medford, Wis, June %, o.

MedfOrd, Wis, June %, OF.
Friend joint suppose you think
me negligent as to my promises, and
I guess you are about right. / should
have written before, but you know
that | always made it a rule to never
do today what could put off until
tomorrow.
Well, we got here the Saturday
night after we left there, good and
tired. This has been the latest and
and wettest spring they have ever
had here. Our corn is not all up yet.
Have got about IL acres of corn, of
oats, and 3 of barley. Have cleared
only about 4 acres yet, having had so
much other work to do. Built two
houses and two barns since we came
here. Here where we are it is easy
clearing the land. Hitch one of the
big teams onto the stump and it
comes pretty near uprooting it. If
it doesn't, put on the pulley blocks.
We never use the stump puller, as
the clearing isn't hard enough for it
The soil is good, but it takes stock
for it. The big fires in some places
have almost cooked the life out of 1t,
yet just as quick as it is worked and
little manure put on, it is elegant.
OF course it is not all that way. In
spots where the fire was not so hot it
is all right. never saw such nice
soil as the piece we have worked.
A persons first impression of the
place is not very good, but as soon
as one gets to working the ground
his mind is quickly changed. l do
not believe that the very best land
there is as good as the average land
here. A friend of ours here has been
offered 800 an acre for his farm and
would not take it. Judging from
the clearing we have already done, |
think we can clear and burn q of an
acre a day, and not work very hard
either. The stumps are all dry, and
after they have been piled for three
or four days, burn like kindling
wood l tell you what, this is the
place for a poor man to get a farm,
and the beauty Of it is he has a good
one when he gets it cleared, and that
isn't much of a job if he has a good
team,
Do you remember Walter Perkins,
a nephew Of John Perkins? He
worked at the furnace once, but
probably that was before you went
there. He lives in town. We traded
him the mules the other day, for a
big team of horses. The mules make
a good team but could not keep the
whip going fast enough with my
game arm. Our cows do only fairly;
haven't gotten used to the country
yet. Those heifers we got are all
good ones. Have 30 young pigs and
will soon have more. Sold some Of
these young ones for IS each.

MONEY IN CORN COBS.
An Indiana Factory Which Does a
Thriving, But Mysterious Business

1t has long been believed by persons
of an inventive turn of mind that the
fiber of the corn stalk ard the body of
articles of marketable value ard that a
great business would one day De pullt
upon such a foundation
There is now in successful operation IN
the little city Of Greentown. Ind, an
industry which works Vi corn cobs in
a way that must be very profitable.
The fact that it is so is inferred from
the fact that the company has a very
extensive and expensive plant which 1t
has enlarged frequently; that 1T en-
ploys a large number of persons who re-
ceiye good wages, and it shifts an i'm
mense amount Of freight.
And nobody not connected with the
| concern has been able to discover what
| this mill does with its p ioduct.
Its business. however, is known to De
| the manufacture of corn cobs into a fine
| meal known is corona"
But what is corona good for, n to
what uses are the many carloads put
that go from this mill every Jew y
All efforts of curious visitors, even OF
| the most enterprising newspaper report
| ers, to find out this secret ave proved
vain.
Corona is sacked up as other ground
| product is sacked and stacked up in the
car in rows. When thus loaded the car
is ready to start out on :ts journey to
Toledo or New York. as the case may
be, but with as much sil,nt
and precaution as that with which the
unstamped currency is carted from the
bureau Of printing n engraving to the
treasury in Washington.
That this company he's found some
thing rich in corn cobs is certain. The
rumor is that the finest or fiji st, grade
of corona goes into some kind Of shred
ed biscuit. the second, or red, grade to
the eastern breweries for the coloring
of beer, and the third, or mixed, grade
into a mixture of ground feed composed
Of corr and oats.
sand car loads Of cobs annually. In adj
dition to the corona product this COM
pany is a large buyer and exporter of
corn, and in case the supply rLns short
it manages to secure enough corn to
shell to keep the corona industry busy.
From a little-one horse warehouse,
which was destroyed by fire some four
years ago., has sprung this large, mys-
terious concern. which today ranks
second among Greentowu's industries.
There are only two other mills in the
United Etates which product corona.
1t is certain that this corn cob meal
Is valuable and that there Is money in
its manufacture.
We may soon see a great rumber of
corona mills in operation ard conse-
quently an immense demand for the
once despised corn coo.05o ldsboro

The Town LoHfer.

1t was DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes We
divided into two classes, those who go
ahead and do something. and those who
sit still and inquire, why wasn't it done
the other way" One of the curses of the
country is the town loafer. In every lit
tie town there is a set who spend much
time on sidewalks upon rickety old
chairs, well-worn ancient benches, or
greasy looking goods boxes now CASH
ed and notched with pocket knives. All
have knives and they are sharp, n
kept sharp, indeed sharper far than
their words or minds. They are ever in
committee of the whole upon the state
Of the community, county and country.
There is no end to their talk. They are
on the streets to talk. Talking is their
business and their pleasure. OF course
most Of their talk is baneful and mis-
chievOus. No man al talk downright
good sense very long. The fullest hop
per is emptied by and by. There is no
time to spare from the use of the tongue
knife on the box where they sit to read
and reason out wholesome conclusions.
The consequence of it all is that their
foolish Inc hurtful talk goes out on
winged words to blight n blast. They
are the destruction forces that are ever
at war with the construction forces OF
the day. Their business is to c~riticse
and pull down; the good they do as
builders no man can chronicle.-Lum-

NEGROES VISIT PRESIDENT.
Want to Know His Attitude on
Southern Republicans Excluding
Their Race from Politics..

Washington, October Bishop Alex
ander Walters, of New Jersey; Bishop
G.. w. Clinton, of North Carolina and
Rev. L. L.. Carruthers, of New York,
representing the executive committee
of the Afro-American council, called
upon President Roosevelt today to as
ctrtain his attitude toward the move
ment, among certain republicans Of the
south, to exclude the negroes from par
ticipation in the counsels of the party.
They were especially solicitous of as
certaining whether the president en-
dorsed the action of the republicans in
North Carolina and Alabama with this
end in view. They were presented to
the president by General James S.
Clarkson, surveyor of the port of New
York. Postmaster General Payne ar
rived at the White House whils the
conference was in progress and was
present part of the time. After the in
terview the colored men expressed
themselves as highly gratiied with
what the president had said to them.
They announced that the president had
stated to them that his actions in all
matters affecting the race was his an
swer as to his attitude toward the col
ored man; that in appointments the
character, intelligence and the esteem
which the applicants was held in the
community in which he lived, would be
the first consideration and that no man
would be excluded or appointed because
of his color. That he heartily disap-
approved of the efforts of certain repub-
licans in the south to exclude the ne
groes from participation in politics was
known, so they reported the president
as having stated, to those in authority
in the movement.
When Bishop Walters and his asso-
ciates departed they expressed them
selves as completely satisfied With the
presidents attitude and it is understood
that they will issue a statement de-
filming their position as we'll as the pres
attitude. When they came to
the White House they stated they were
prepared, in case of ~unfavorable reply,
to issue an advisory statement to the
colored people of the country In favor
of political retaliation upon the con-
greSSional nominees.

Information furnished at some Of these
points was misleading. These mills are
small, and / understand the help IS
scarce, as the mill people are attracted
to the larger mill villages, where social
conditions, better cottages, advanced

the opportunity to make a personal in

Tale of q Hat.

a gale was bowling across ;he square
when a large, portly man came round
the corner, says the Scotsman He was
erect. and his rotund figure had a mil
| itary poise. an air Of dignity which was
imposing.
] Suddenly a wild gust seized his shin
ing hat and whirled tt On. IL shot VI
into the air and described circles In
the manner of NJ. Santos Dunlonts air
ship. Then it flew across the street
and fell into a puddle Oh muddy water.
The digniied citizen gaZad at the
| flight Of his hat in a bcwildered fash
ion. When it fell to the ground he
cantered gently after *. As he neared
il he bent eagerly forward. His hand
almost touched the precious tile, when
swoop, came another gust and snatch
ed the unfortunate hat, which went roll
ing off, churning the muddy waters Of
the gutter like the screws of n steamer.
The owner of the hat looked wrath
fully after it, and hen started in pur-
suit on a mad gallop. Swiftly along
the square rolled the hat. Suddenly, in
the midst of his swift course, the pur-
Suer stepped on a piece of orange peel.
graSped wildly at the air and fell with
a ~despairing splash
Shorn of all his dignity, the unhappy
man slowly rose, looked round to see
if he was observed, then carefully eA-
amined his injured raiment. From coli
lar TO waist his frOck coat had split.
Twenty yards ahead, peacefully repos
ing by the curbstone, lay the innocent
cause Of all his m~isfortunes
With an air of grim determination he
strobe toward it. The hat remained
coyly resting on the edge of a puddle.
The portly person gazed down at the
water-logged, mud-covered tile. and
then at his own ruined raiment.
Just then, as if inspired by a demon
Of mischief, the hat began to sway with
a passing gust. This was too much.
Gathering himself together, the fat man
made a mighty leap and landed both
feet squarely on the hat. lie peered
anxiously round to see If he was OBJ
served, and then, turning UP mis- coat
collar. strobe away, leaving the frag-
ments of what had onCe been a silk hat
reposing in the gutter.

NEW vIGoR OF THE SOUTH.
A Glance Mt Her MsgnfHcent
Achievements and Her Splendfa
Prospects.
Baltimore American CRep.)

It vas Henry W. Grady, the brilliant
southern orator, who in one of the
speeches delivered in New England. ap-
pealed TO the north to send her sons
south, there TO accomplish a splendid
and profitable work Grady's motive
was twofold. He wished the presence
OF northern blood on southern soil as a
means of obliterating all past sectional
feeling, and he wanted an infusion OF
northern energy into southern veins in
order to give impetus to southern en-
terprise. Whether this appeal has been
largely answered or no. can only he as
certained by a study of the census. One
thing is patent, however. and that is
that the results SO ardently desired by
Grady are fast making themselves
manifest. The line of sectional feeling
is growing 10 very faint that IL is al
most indistinguishable. The old hostili-
ties are vanishing, the old prejudiceS
are disappearing, n the old misun-
derstandings are being cleared away,
so that there is a rapidly increasing
now and interfiow of immigration be-
tween the two sections.
That is not all. The south has
awakened to a new life that is fairly
~quivering with enterprise and energy.
The unreasonable possibilities of the
Who'll section are just beginning to be
appreciated, and the magic touch of in
dustry is bringing them into a profit
able fruitage. There is no part OF the
United States making better progress
than the south. Its forward strides are
long and rapid. Ut is fast emerging
from its old position of exclusive agrf-
culturallsm into one of diversified
n multiplying industrialism. Wealth
is e~ncouragingly accommodating without
fostering the old Bourbon aristocracy,
which was a handicap to the section.
The same culture and refinement -four
ISM, but they enjoy their existence in
a different form. The same families
which fifty years 6 abhorred the very
name Of work are now leaders of enter
prise, and are proud generals of the
armies of energy. The devotion OF
their splendid talents to DEVELOPMENTS
is what Is causing that section to bloom
with prosperity. A movement has beer
in the direction of advance
ment which will soon make h south
one of the most flourishing sections OF
the country.
The forward impetus has not lost its
force. Each year finds some greaa
achievements to proclaim. During the
past year there have been further ad-
ditions in the field of industry. The
record tells US that 3,454 new enter
prises were successfully launched dur |
Ing the year. That list embraces a va
rlety of undertakings, which tend to
show the diversifying tendencies down
there. The south's future is certainly
aglow with great hope and promise.
