Poultry Raising Pays.

The question is often asked
what can a working man do to
make a living in the sand hills.
We say raise poultry and sell eggs.
M. G. d. Tarbell has nineteen (l9)
hens from which he has had during
the past three months, more than
nineteen dollars worth of eggs.
A person can buy 800 good hens
for $3.50. Mr.. TarbelI's experience
in feeding cut up COW pea hay
soaked in hot water proves that at
a small cost feed can be raised on
these sand hill lands to feed to
poultry. AT Mr.. Tarbell's average
81 year to each hen would yield
$120O.0O. Deduct $500 for feed
and 50 interest on the $3.50 for
money invested in the chicks,
leaves a net annual profit of S9l
on a $50 investment. The eli
mate in Southern Pines seems es-
pecially adapted to the raising of
poultry.

THE METAPHYSICAL MOVEMENT
For the past few weeks we have had
several calls from DR.. and Mrs. H. S.
Winkley, of Boston, who are here to
receive benefit for the Doctors health.
DR.. Winkley is editor and publisher
of Practical Ideals, a very interesting
magazine of some so pages or more,
published in Boston, and which is
devoted to the interests of the Meta
physical Movement, which in reality
has been termed the great Spiritual
and Idealistic Renascence of our time.
In conversing with DR.. Winkley we
gain much good information of the
practical workings of the Metaphysics
al movement. His magazine gives
much space to the exposition of the
truths, principles and application of
the healing philosophy, in its mental,
moral and physical phases, and is
progressive and independent.

phere is in and around Southern
Pines one would say the land is
barren and dry. But stay in the
woods during April, May and June
will show that in no section OF the
Union are there as many Towering
plants, as many beautiful wild
flowers. Recently Mr.. J I. Patrick
showed US a collection of more than
100 varities of wild flowers that he
gathered during April, May, June
and July 1891 the summer he
started the place. And he said if
the Northern people could only be
induced to stop over for the lovely
summer season and see the flowers
they would think more of the sand
hills and would realize that there
are many attractions for those who
stay here the year round.

TO MAKE BLIND SEE.
Frenchman Has Device for Which
he Claims Great Powers.
Pref. Peter Stems, OF Paris. Invents
C-OntrIvaRee for Acting Direct
~ en- Optic Nerve Regard
less OF the Eyes.

Prof. Peter Stems claims 10 have
discovered the secret Of restoring
sight to the blind. The announce
ment is published in the Revue des
Revues, by Dr.. Gaze, who explains
how Stems tested on him a wonder
full apparatus Of Stems invention,
by which he was not only able to re-
store lost sight, but TO give vision to
those who never had known It.
Stems took Gaze into a dark room
and bandaged his eyes so he could
e nothing. He heard the profss-
o walk to and fro, strike a match
to light q lamp. and then felt the
apparatus fixed around his temples,
whereupon he instantly saw a dim
light which enabled him to distin-
guish surrounding objects. Present
ly the light became stronger and
Gaze was able TO count the profess
sor's fingers when they were held
before him and to enumerate other
things In the room. Just as he was
feeling his vision clearing further
and was convinced he would soon
see normally Stems suddenly re-
moved the apparatus and Gaze was
in total darkness.
Stems claim rests on the theory
that a man does not see with his W
but with his brain, the eye only
serving TO receive the image, which
the optic transmits to the
seat Of perception. If, then, the
image be transmitted to the brain
without eyes a blind person can see
as well as anybody else. The pro-
fessor's apparatus is on the same
scientific basis as a telephone with
the substitution Of light for sound.
Gaze states that several other
physicians experimental with the
apparatus, but none was able to K
plain how the astounding results
were obtained.

his tenure Of Office expires, and proba-

the spell will pass over by that time.
In this connection It may be added
that the railroads have not presented

The V%icksburg American puts up q
straw man in the shape Of the PROPOSE
ton that the few Vardaman papers IN
the Northeastern part Of the state con-
cede that their choice win probably
not be able to carry this section, and
then charges the same papers with
bombast in claiming that other Sec
tions Of the state are solid for him.
Upon this straw man the American
argues that Vardaman is losing ground
very fast since Nj. Fox's withdrawal.
II this isn't about the cheapest politi-
csl rot any d could wish to peruse,
