Compressed Tea
Tablet tea is manufactured at
in factories belonging to
Russian firms there. It is made
of the finest tea dust procurable.
The selection of the dust is the
work of skilled experts; the cost of
the dust varies from cents a
upward. This dust is
manufactured into tablets by steam
machinery. About two ounces and
a half of dust are poured into a
steel on a steel cylinder.
The dust is poured in dry without
steaming, and the pressure brought
to bear is two tons per tablet.
Great care is required in the
and packing of tablet tea,
the cost is comparatively high.
The tablets are wrapped first in tin-
foil, then in expensive and
wrappers, and finally
packed m tin-fined cases for export
to Russia. The tea, it is stilted,
none of its flavor by being
pressed into tablets, and, as tablet
tea is one-sixth of the bulk of
leaf it is most convenient for
and also for importing
the remoter regions of Russia.

If one is prejudiced against it, it is

these people very much to
know that in France there is a
large of literature that
is not, as they understand it,
French, and that there is a large
number of French people who
would no more read French novels
as they know of them than they
would do themselves. Moreover
the French Academy offers a
much contested prize, the Mon-
for such novels, and that
the remuneration for such novels

Theater, London, has a novel at-

Darby, tho champion jumper of
the world and holder of the
pion bolt
Mr. Darby clears six chairs at a
hound, his spring-off being
from brick standing up. In
a similar way he jumps from a
brick over a chair on to a second
brick, and clears a bar five feet
high.
His flying leaps include a chair
place on a table, a series of eight
chairs making an obstacle nineteen
feet long, and a horse standing
seventeen hands, which he dears
with his ankles tied.
The more sensational feats con-
of a jump over three chairs
backward; a jump over a chair on
to tho face of a man lying at its
foot, and off again, without injury
to the man; and a flying leap over
water, in tho course of which the
champion just skims the top of tho
water without wetting more than
solos of his shoes.
Mr. Darby concludes with a
splendid hound over a six-foot gate
studded at the top with vicious-
looking spikes.

KEEP IT CLOSED ON SUNDAY.
Much has been written, much
has been said, and much remains
to be written and said in reference
to opening the World's Fair
on Sunday. Last summer Con-
voted an appropriation of
to the fair on the ex-
press condition that the gates
should closed on Sunday. The
commissioners received it on that
condition and that only. Forty
million of our people asked Con-
to make that condition. The
managers, after having received
this are endeavoring to arrange to
hold the Fair on the Sabbath with
the exception of stopping the ma-
They have corresponded
with men of every vocation and
calling in reference to this- They
have published every sentiment in
favor of the project and suppress
ed neatly all the expressions that
were opposed to such desecration
of the Sabbath. They took Dun's
Directory and selected men of
ratings as to wealth in
most every in Union.
They announce that at least eighty
per cent of these favor opening
of the Fair on Sunday. They have
gotten Bishop Potter and some
other divines to the same
In consequence they
insult Congress and the American
people by asking to rescind
the condition of the

nefarious plan of making the

Fair. They go about this as if

Instead of consulting so many for
whom the day was made it would
be more appropriate to consult

He has to say about it. The law

world. Ho -rave it to our first

New Testament Scriptures are
not less strict demanding its

upon the offenders the righteous

to observe God's laws scattered the
Jews in all and demolish-
ed the temple with all its services.

They should remember that
God with a scourge of cholera, or
with some other dire calamity,
could not only close the gates on
Sunday but during the week, and
make what might be if properly
managed a success, an utter fail-
in every particular. Tho
world is not wanting in examples
to show this. How often in the
past has everything seemed to
portend success and yet some
foreseen calamity blasted even the
semblance of prosperity. The
days of miracles may have passed
but God's providence has not
ed to exist, and this cation would
do well to heed the- fates of other
nations have disregarded His
laws before they decide to
as a nation this base
of God's day. Whether it is
to be a success or not has nothing
to do with whether it shall be kept
open on Sunday, f ho only
is whether it is right or not-
The sham and false as to
keeping it open for the benefit of
the laborer has nothing to do with
the question. If it were true, and
no one believes it is, that they
could go no other day than this,
even then this would not the
slightest reason for violating God's
commands. Tho Christian people
of America ought not to allow
themselves to be deluded into the
idea that some advance, that less
wickedness will be committed by
its being open. That Chicago
will be tilled with visitors and not
having any to go Sun
day they will spend the, day in
beer gardens, and
thereby desecrate the day more
than by going to the Fair. No
sane person will favor opening the
gates on Sunday if this is to
the reason. We insist that it is a
matter of right and not policy as
to whether the Sabbath shall be
observed. If this people are not
to observe the day while
go attending tho Fair why should
they observe it at all If it is
right to observe the day at all it is
right to observe it at all times and
under all circumstances. It will
be a grand opportunity for this
nation to show to tho world that
as a nation we recognize God
and his laws as having authority
over us. Open the gates on Sun
day and then boast that we are a
Christian nation and become
the laughing stock of all civilized
lands.
It is to be hoped that Congress
will not listen for one moment to
any persuasion to violate their con-
their oaths,
of forty millions of people.
and the laws and customs of this
nation since its existence, and the
laws of God, by ever conceding to
these Directors
permission to violate this first law
of God to man for man by open-

Situated as Greenville is, right in

growing one hundred miles

no doubt but that Greenville will
rank with any of her neighbor
towns that owe their success to
the tobacco industry, and while, up
to date our merchants and

young men have

An Old House
The old one-story brick building on

that unpleasantness was put to various
uses. Col. E. C. once had it
for his law office ; Dr. Wyatt Brown also
occupied it as an office; and during the
war it was used as a kind of headquarters
for officers when troops were stationed

Pitt County Courts.
The act changing the times of holding

become a law. It gives us five Courts
annually, the times for holding them
being January, March, April, September
and December. Each term Is for two
weeks if there is business to continue it
that long. The March and December
terms are for the trial of civil cases only,
while the others are to be mixed Courts
as we have had before. Now let the
Magistrates at their meeting on Saturday,
18th of this month, arrange for a few
terms of the Court for each
and we believe all the dockets will soon
be cleared up. Let there no further
excuse for the dockets continuing filled

Tonic and
do not hesitate to recommend Mrs. Joe
Person's Remedy as the finest tonic I
used. At the time I commenced its
use. had no appetite for anything,
could cat a mouthful for breakfast,
and had to force myself eat, as
tasted natural. I was also so nervous I
could get no natural sleep, waking at
sound. I commenced with a tea-
spoonful and gradually increased the
dose. Three of the Remedy
worked wonders; my appetite became
natural ; could eat anything I wanted
and relished it; my sleep became sound
and natural; a band of music would
hardly wake me now. My general health
is excellent, better than it has been in ten
years, and this change is owing solely to
Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy, as I took no
other. As a tonic and it cannot
be excelled. Anne Davis.

Attempted Burglary.
Mr. G. M. Tucker tells us that some
one went to his home, about miles from
town, during his absence last Friday
night and tried to break in the house.
Mrs. Tucker and the children were home
and were awakened by the noise of the
would-be burglar made. They got up
and a little son fired a gun out an up
stairs window which frightened the in-
away. All examination showed
that a lock had nearly been prized off the
door in the attempt to effect an entrance
into the house.

Register of Deeds Harding tells us that
so far this year the number of crop liens
and mortgages coming in for registration
is much smaller than for the correspond-
time of-any recent year. The RE-
hopes that all through the
mortgaging season the number will show
a marked falling off. This decrease of
mortgages do doubt means that the farm-

WASHINGTON LETTER.
our regular
D. C, Feb.
Hon. Don M- Dickinson, who is
regarded as President-elect Cleve-
land's personal representative, is
in Washington working in the
interest of the Andrews bill for the
repeal of the Sherman silver law,
which is to be taken in the
en Thursday and Friday,
next. Mr. Dickinson is spoken
in favor of the annexation of Ha-
and in this he is in line with
tenths of Congress, without
regard to politics. The Hawaiian
Commissioners arrived to-day and
to-morrow they will present their
petition for annexation.
There are so many complications
that would have to be met if an act
of Congress annexing Hawaii is to
be passed, and in the course of the
delay, which would necessarily
ensue, some foreign Government
might, by a revolution or other
means, secure control of the
try, that it is probable that the out
come will be the adoption of some
quicker method of asserting
can control and warning foreign
Governments to keep their hands
off. There is no politics this,
simply Americanism, and, be it said
to his credit, Mr. Harrison has
consulted as freely with the prom-
democrats in Congress as
with members of his own party.
Notwithstanding the threats
cabled from London as to
England intended to do, it can be
stated without exaggeration that
the intentions of England or any
other nation is cutting no figure
whatever in this matter. Hawaii
is going to pass under the control
of the United States. That much
is certain, but it is not yet decided
just how it is to be done. Another
certainty in the situation is that
Hawaiian sugar producers will not
be paid the bounty of cents a
pound now paid to Americans
under the law, which
some allege to have been the cause
of the revolution and application
for annexation- Whatever the
cause, there are many good reasons
for our not neglecting the
to get control of the islands.

the right of way every day after

THE SPECIAL TAX
On Tobacco Warehouse Should be
Repealed
Steps have been taken to have
the special tax on warehouses re-
pealed by the Legislature of this
State now in session. The matter
has been referred to a special com
who will shortly make a
special report on the subject.
That the special tax on ware-
houses is wrong goes without say
No class of people in the
tobacco trade work harder than
Their life is a
strain and push from start to fin-
With few exceptions they do
more to build up the financial
standing of a town than any one
else- When the warehouseman
has succeeded in influencing heavy
sales of leaf then business is brisk
and trade goes on at a lively rate-
But that is not all. The ware-
house people work hard and are
benefactors to their towns, but the
pay coming to themselves is very
small in the end- It is safe to say
that in no line of the tobacco
is the pay so small for the
amount of energy expended.
Take the warehouse proprietors of
the two States and how many of
them have become rich Very
few indeed In North Carolina
you can count on the fingers of
one hand the who
have made a success, in a business
way, of warehouse management-
This being the case it is unjust to
tax the people who work so hard
and make so little The tax is a
strain on them and it is often very
difficult to pay it The law should
be repealed and at this session.
To secure this repeal the ware-
house people must use their
