his own won't support, him, for it
will. We must lock the difficulty in
face and realize that there is
this devil may
be elected. The thing to do is to
swear that he shall not b-j and to see to
it that he is Land-
mark.
These are wise words. Though he
obtained it by fraud, now stands
as the Republican nominee for Gov-
and it matters not how a
man he is or how much he has accused
the bulk of his party of being savages,
will vote for him just the same.
With nine-tenths of the Republican
party in this State it matters not what
man they are voting for just so they
vote for the ticket as directed by their
bosses. It goes without saying, that if
a yellow dog was on the ticket and the
bosses so directed it would be voted
just as readily as with Russell at its
head. So no stress need be laid on the
reports that his party will not support
him, but the thing to do, as the Land-
mark suggests, is to see that as vile a
man-as Russell is not elected Governor
of North Carolina.

had asked to have this section repealed
because it had been so clumsily drawn
that it was practically impossible to
make to enforce it. This

It was known at the time that it was

be put into proper shape in conference.
Everybody remembers how the House

there was any probability of action by

Of the Eastern Carolina Tobacco Crop
as Gathered from the
A Great Many Reports sent
Out from this Section
Damaging and Mis-
leading.
BY O. L.
We have read with a great deal of
interest a good many conjecture as to
the tobacco acreage in Eastern North
Carolina and it is really amusing to
see the capers of these reporters. They
all seem to vie with one another to see
who can tell the biggest yarn about the
increased acreage. These reports are
misleading and damaging, not only to
the farmer but to the dealer and
as well. There are three well
established market Eastern North
Carolina and there are others coming
on which will time become
factors among the tobacco markets
of the State. But in their own zeal to
impress the outside world with their
advantages the quantity of
tobacco raised tributary to their
market, a great many times
injury is done the tobacco interests
In South Carolina, for
instance, the world has been led to be-
that the whole face of the earth
would be planted in tobacco this year.
Tobacco journals everywhere have
been full of of new markets and
increased until the world is
prepared to think that South Carolina
alone would grow tobacco enough this
year to supply the trade. It now turns
out that there will not be much more
than half the tobacco planted in South
Carolina that has been predicted up to
now, and this information comes direct
from the fields of South Carolina and
not from some one in town who has an
interest in some warehouse and who by
those reports expects to get somebody
to go there to buy tobacco. Here in
Eastern North a great
part of it at least, the writer has post
information from personal
that the tobacco acreage has been
very much exaggerated. A few days
ago we a trip of fifty miles through
the leading tobacco belt Greene and
counties and a portion of
Pitt, and we know that in this
section the acreage will not lie in-
creased. In some sections the farm-
had planted the land they prepared
for tobacco in cotton on one farm
we noticed especially where last year
there wire forty acres of tobacco, this
year there are only twelve.
There is no need of disguising facts
in order to deceive the public, for while
they may be fooled for awhile, yet after
all the facts will be learned and then it
is too late to appease the injury that is
done. When this market first started a
very prominent tobacconist who had
moved from a distant State and located
on one of the eastern markets, said one
day in talking with a number of
that O. L. Joyner was doing the
eastern markets more harm that any
other man in Eastern Carolina. They
asked him why and how it was. Well,
be said, instead of puffing the eastern
crop, and leading the outside world to
believe that we have got the tobacco
down here, he is advocating doing
all he can to make them think that the
acreage will not lie increased and that
the markets arc not selling as much to-
as they claim.
Since we have been connected with
the tobacco trade we have written only
from information and we have tried to
stick squarely to the truth without dis-
guising facts or we are yet
to be convinced that this is not the best
plan.
By and exaggerating
the crop prospects, admitting that it
does no harm in any other way, it
fits the trade to bike hold
of the crop. A great many hold their
orders off thinking that tobacco will go
down under the pressure of a large
crop until before they realize what they
have done the crop has been sold, and
their man filled his orders. He
has kept off the market and the
farmer has suffered for the lack of com-
petition to the extent of what his
purchases would have been.
when the crop is over estimated, and
there are Mattering prospects tor a crop
of good tobacco, a great many buyers
hold off thinking that will wait
until the good tobacco begins coming
in, when also before they know it the
crop has been sold and the good to
has not yet turned no. The
trade suffers of course.
There should be a way of arriving at
an intelligent estimate of the tobacco
crop for under present circumstances
are so many false and misleading
statements sent out by parties, who by
altering the facts to suit themselves,
think to better their own interest, that
there is no means of telling anything
the crop until it begins coming in,
and then you have to take it just as it
When We'll All Be Happy.
When the dead-beat ceases to beat
and an honest man takes his place.
When the growler to growl
and the kicker is at rest.

counts, but are prompt to pay them.
When people get what they wish
for and wishing goes out of fashion.

A GOOD MAN FOB SHERIFF.
Editor Reflector casting

every effort should be made to
lay aside personal preferences and go
the man that can hold the banner

votes. There is a man my
eye who has since his first vote ever
stood the front rank fought
where the battle was hardest. Under
all circumstances and all times he
has stood the test and at no time
has he been found wanting. That man
is O. W. Harrington and if
he will carry the banner through and

was a
great pleasure to the writer to sec in
your Wednesday's issue of the Daily
Reflector a communication
ting O. W. Harrington for the
of Sheriff of county. The
writer has known Mr. Harrington for
the last ten years and if our opinion of
the man is worth anything we don't
believe the Democracy Pitt could
give the nomination to a better man.
In these times of political degeneracy
if the Democratic party would preserve
and it must look well to
the selection of men to fill the offices.
There are men in the county, good,
staunch Democrats who at this time
the party should nominate office
would almost surely wreck its best
interests, while there arc rs whose
names upon the Democratic ticket this
year will add to it and insure victory.
To this latter class of men Mr.
ton belongs. His name upon the Dem-
ticket will add as much strength
to it U any man, that could be

express themselves we believe that O.
W. Harrington could a larger vole

named by the Democratic party.
