A BETTER TYPE.
Mr. L Gib Some Good
In this week's Progressive
Farmer Mr- O. L. Joyner, of
Greenville, who is admittedly an
authority on tobacco, makes
interesting comment on the
culture of tobacco in
North
Messrs. For the last
few years it ha, been perfectly
apparent to every close observer
of the sales of tobacco on the
western North Carolina markets
that thin white tobacco was
growing less less in demand.
During the tint few years
of tobacco culture in this
section of the state, white, or
is known as men colored
tobacco, was in greatest demand
and told for fancy prices,
for some cause the demand for

from this type of leaf to
drop off. In the meantime,
stimulated by the higher price
of white tobacco, farmers
ed their chief attention to the
production of this type of tobacco,
with the res-ult that more of this
type of tobacco made than
there was demand for and con-
the price fell off.
Farmers learned from expert
that the highest
white tobacco was by
priming off the tobacco early and
curing color which
changed after lying in bulk a
few weeks to a very beautiful
light color. This method was
practiced to such an extent that
since 1900, although the crop is
now not transplanted much, if
any, earlier than it then,
yet it is taken the and

Tobacco is selling much better
now on the Kinston market than
was the case at the beginning of
the season on August 1st.
There is not so much change in
sand lugs, but the better grades
are now freely marketed and
while possibly the sum realized
is not so great, in some cases, as
in former years, farmers are
generally satisfied and in some
cases gratified at the outcome.

Greenville capitalists should

It would be a profitable industry.
If Mississippi has her way
there will be nothing left for

The Greensboro Record puts
it up to the Raleigh News and

Observer is consistent the
of The Record opens the
way to it.
With moving pictures every
night, a week of tent shows, a
theatrical company for a week
and a week of carnival, all book-
ed for this month, it is not like-
that Greenville's pleasure
seekers can complain of dullness
during September.
If some people would put forth
as much energy building up
their own business as they ex-
pend in trying to pull down
that of somebody else, they
would come nearer to making a
success of their own affairs.
The best plan is to attend strict-
to one's own business, and
let the other fellow do the same
thing.
People may cry hard times,
plead poverty, and put up all
kinds of excuses for mil paying
hills, but they usually find
money for pleasure. Let a show
along, an excursion be run,
or some luxury wanted, and it
does not seem so hard for people
to get money for these things.
If the same interest was shown
in paving bills there would be
better time-in branches of

has given you credit should have
first consideration, and then
give indulgence to pleasures
afterward.
Even if they never get Breese

of punishment trying them.
The only observance Green-
ville made of Labor Day was
those who usually labor going
right along with their usual
labor.
A single bandit held up and
robbed a train on the
railroad, within fifty miles
of the State capital, in real
Western style got away with
a lot of money from the express
car. It was not creditable to
the crew that one man bluffed
the whole bunch of them.
If the big ocean keep

Durham seems to be an in-
field for evangelist.-.
One from Texas closed a two
week's meeting there last Sun-
day, and another has just
begun a meeting. From all that
has been read in the papers
about Durham the city needs
evangelizing.
A letter from Congressman
John II. Small, that will be
found on another page announces
that a educational
meeting will be held in Green-
ville on Monday, Sept. lath.
Congressman Small is always
active in behalf of the people of
his district in arranging such
meetings for their benefit, and
the should show their
interest by taking advantage of
them. There is need of
in the methods of
farming, and these meetings are
a great help in that direction.
A large attendance should be at
the meeting on the 18th.
Reports of August tobacco
ales at the various
show that tobacco has average.
from 1-- to U cents a pound.
Of course farmers could
raise tobacco at this figure if
they could not realize any more
on their crop, we be-
lie the bulk of the tobacco
sold was of u low grade and
farmers will undoubtedly bring
the general average up when

The Many Uses of a Machine
There is practically no limit to the variety
that can be done with a Singer
Sewing Machine. Whether for the finest
embroidery, the plainest home sewing or
the most elaborate tailoring, the Singer is
equally efficient.
fl woman takes pride in having these
things, but if they be her own handiwork,
the satisfaction is complete, because her
own personality is reflected in every seam.
The woman who uses a Singer may have
everything in needlework she can desire
is better dressed ct much less cost;
her children are clothed according to her
own taste and ideas; she has attractive
table linen, and an unending supply of
dainty underwear.
fl Moreover, she is free from the worry
and delay which always comes with the
use of a machine.

at least two-thirds. More than
this the most ardent advocate
prohibition could not have ex-
and the half of this
would make the prohibition pol-
icy the wisest and most profit-
able step ever adopted by the
people of North Carolina.
Prohibition is a success there
Is no question as to this; and yet
ire must not let our gratification
its achievements or over the,
public opinion of the State seep
its from recognizing the dangers
pf indifference on the part
temperance advocates. We
not too strongly emphasize the
fact that the next eighteen
months will mark the one critical
period with prohibition in this
State. During this time the
most active, money
supplied by the great liquor in
of the and using
both fair and foul to

It is of. the greatest import-
therefore, that our local
Anti-Saloon Leagues keep them-
selves intact and -that new.
leagues be wherever
there is danger to our cause, and
that our league have adequate
financial support. Good citizens
everywhere must hold up the
hands of officials who are vigor-
in behalf of law enforcement,
and must bring individual and
organized pressure to bear upon
officials who deal lightly with
the oaths they have taken.
It was not long to have been
expected that perfect machinery
for the enforcement of our pro-
laws would be
developed; it was not to
be expected that the enemies
of prohibition would immediate-
the hopelessness
of their cause attacking the law.
The fact that North Carolina
largely rural, and that rural
sections have been dry tor years,
and that our cities are not
only composed largely of native-
born, law-loving North Carolina
people, but had also adopted
local laws in nearly
very things have
made the enforcement of pro-
in North Carolina much
easier in some other States.
We should not be true to our
trust, however, if we did not re-
mind our churches,
the advocates of temperance,
and good citizens of all classes
of the imperative importance of
strict law enforcement and of
undiminished activity in preach-
temperance doctrine.
We would especially call at-
to the necessity tor
caution in dealing with the near-
beer sellers. If license is to be
granted st all, there should be
most careful scrutiny of
cants, and most careful inquiry
into their conduct It should be
remembered that the board cf
aldermen in granting such
. . . tali
is a truism so plain as to
require no elaboration whatever.
The old miracle of Romulus
and suckled by the wolf would
have be repeated in order to
bring about a outcome
of such a proposition. No ex-
press statute is n but
of public policy
should prevent any city from
exposing an ex-saloon keeper
to tho temptations which a near-
beer shop provides for him to
certainly consider-
the law of
the expressed will
of the people should prevent our
trusting our prohibition law to
such people tor safe keeping-
No license to sell near-beer
should be to any man
unless he has recommendations
as to his character from the best
citizens of town, and after
thirty public notice;
certainly no license should ever
be granted to any man who has,
government license to sell
license to sell near-beer
should especially provide that no
intoxicants should be drunk
con-
Vie -for selling any intoxicant
or allowing any intoxicant to be
drunk upon, the premises should
work immediate forfeiture of
license and once a month
out notice and not at stated
inspection of stock
should be made by city officials.
We make
simply for such cities as are
willing to permit near-beer es-
The experience
this, of the fact that
has not kept pace with
other pursuits. There has been
much advancement in farming,
and if our forefathers of a
or even a half century, ago
were here they would find great
changes for the better. But the
advancement in agriculture is not
what it should have been, and
it is to gain better knowledge of
our lands, the better handling of
crops, things that make farming
more profitable, that creates the
necessity for the
meetings. Instead of the
boys leaving our farms and going
to the towns to seek employ-
they should be educated to
the value and advantage of
farming.
The question has been asked,
what has a member of congress

meetings If it is a congress-
man's duty to look after the pro-

C. Thompson, of the
Bureau of Animal Indus-
try, spoke on cattle and dairy
industries. He emphasized the
value of cattle for dairying,

dairy products helps the farmers
in improving his soils and brings

We again warn our people to
be on their guard unceasingly
during the next eighteen months.
If this is done we shall clinch

should be had, even if they cost
more money, then there should
be constant effort to improve the

small average yield was due to
a want of proper knowledge of
soil fertility. All industries of
the farm centers around the
plant. The corn farmer has his
mind on the ear of corn, and the
cotton farmer thinks of the
boll, the tobacco farmer thinks
of the leaf, and little at-
is given to that part of
the leaf, and little attention is
given to that part of the plant
on which life depends. The
plant above depends
upon its hence the roots
should have the first and best
attention of the farmer. This
comes through proper fertility of
the soil to provide the means
necessary to the growth of the
plant. Disease and insects in
the soil, fertilizers and their
proper use, rotation of crops,
were all mentioned in this con-
Keeping a supply of
humus in the soil was given as
the most advantageous means of
fertility. In the absence of
sufficient barnyard manure de-
rived from stock raising, a good
means of supplying humus is to
plant peas, clover, vetch, etc. to
be turned in. Several charts
were used in showing values.
Dr. Cooper Curtice, of the
Bureau of Animal Industry,
spoke on the subject of stock
and bx w to find a market.
He advocated the of
stock. Those sections the
moat prosperous where each
farmer raises stock both for his
own use and for market Ha
must feed them and he must
constantly breed for better
varieties. Well fed and well
bred stock are the most
and profitable. This kind
cannot be had with free range
They must be kept within en-
closure in the pasture, and in the
barn yard, and must be protected
in winter.
He exhibited a stock law map
of North Carolina showing that
three-fifths of the State had
adopted stock law. He explained
that the farmer who raised stock
made two profits, one from pro-
crops and the other from
feeding the roughage and forage
and surplus grain to the stock.
This is the sovereign remedy
his crop is and he will tell you it
is
A man falls overboard, no
bones are broken, his body is all
there, but by his lungs getting
filled with water the body ceases
to perform its functions and is
dead. The man is drowned. So
the man who says his crop is
drowned out when it has taken
on too much water is telling the
truth.
Tell a man that a flood is com-
and his low land pasture
will overflow, and he hastens
to lead his cows out to high land.
He is anxious to rescue
worth of cows, but will let
several hundred dollars worth of
corn get
year. Isn't the corn worth as
much as the cows If the loss
in Eastern North Carolina in
three years by r drain-
age had been prevented, you
could not picture the improve-
the extra money would
make.
One crop drowned out means
taking the profit off of two or
three succeeding crops. The
land must be drained. We can-
not control the but we
can provide to take care of it
when it comes. The solution
for Eastern North Carolina farm-
is to the lands. This
section is easily drained. There

and the first day started off with
large storage receipts.
Some time last spring Messrs.
C- W. Harvey and J. W. Ferrell
began the erection of the storage
house for this business on the
I lot between the Liberty ware-
house and the Norfolk Ac South-
railroad, fronting on Pitt
street. While the building was
in course of erection the enter-
prise was over by Mr.
who carried it on to
and the building was
finished ready for use last week.
i It is a single story brick building
in two sections, each x
I feet, and has capacity for
about hogsheads of
tobacco.
There has been much demand
here for a building of this kind
for storing tobacco, and Mr.
has supplied this need.
The usual house charges
are made, and the tobacco, after
being packed in is
kept in store until the owners
are ready ti ship it. The in-
rates in this building is
only c par so it
costs but little to keep the
co on hand, and the storage
receipts can be used as collateral
by the owner. No doubt Mr.
will find his storage house a
profitable enterprise as well
