Fine Beginning of New Season,
The Greenville tobacco market
began the new today
most favorable conditions.
sales were not large, but this was
as expected, the farmers being
nearly a month later in their
curing than last year.
An encouraging feature of the
sale was the good prices that
being fully fifty per cent,
higher that at the opening a
year ago. Most the
today were first primings, yet the
prices ranged from to cents
which was very gratifying to the
sellers. Smokers or first primings,
green or dark, to 1-2 cents;
bright and clean smokers to
cents; and cutters
to cent.
The first sale at the Farmers
warehouse, proceeding through
other regular order.
There is a good force of buyers on
the market and they are going to
keep prices here up to the best.
As business is expected to be
light the first mouth of the

There are some things in regard
to the candidacy of T. G. Britton
who offers to represent the people
of Pitt county in the house of
that the voters of the
county ought to know. He is a
young man of exceptionally good
character and would not only render
efficient service as a legislator, but
his amicable disposition,
strength and high moral char-
actor would easily put him in front
ranks of the and most
law makers of our State. Mr-
Britton not only graduated with
honors from Chapel Hill, but per-
he the highest
of the faculty.
Pitt county has reasons to con-
herself upon having such
la representative, and especially as
the success of any people largely
depends upon the character of their
representatives. As Mr. Britton,
however, is a comparative stranger
lo some of the voters of the county

It really looks like the poorest
shoat of a Southerner cannot help
drawing the line against Roosevelt-
ism when it strikes at h's home like
the Chicago platform does in its
plank. Judas Iscariot's self
reasserted itself when, self-
condemned and feeling meaner than
a suck-egg dog, he went out and
hanged himself. It is to be hoped
that there are very few Southern
men who would be ashamed to meet
Judas coming down a hog path.

The And Education.
The thirst among the for
education is largely a matter of the
imagination. We haTe warn-
ed under the Amendment the
colored boys would be stimulated to
double in order to qualify
themselves for the suffrage, while
the white boys would lie laggards in
the race. We happen to be brought
in contact with the educational
interests of Thomasville and have
been amazed to find the so
indifferent to to the education of
their children. Paying less than a
third of taxes sufficient to provide
for the running expenses of the col-
school, a new and mod-
house has been erected and two
teachers employed for eight
in the year, the have hardly
averaged twenty per of the
children of school age in the town
ship, and although the teacher is
above the average in ability, nine-
tenths of the are down on
him and do all in their power to
the progress of the school
his management. We see it
also that in Durham county,
one of the best organized counties
in the State, the send only
twenty-five per cent, of their child
while the white people send
seventy-five per cent, of theirs The
trouble seems to be the

from the white people provided they
control the schools, but they are
willing even to receive light and
knowledge if it must come to them
through white people.
proves what we observed at the be
ginning of this article, namely that
the desire among the for
education is a figment the brain.
I hey have no educational spirit
among them, but they do love a
rah and a great parade; and forced to
do solid work in graded schools,
by white men, they decline
to patronize them at all. Truly the
colored citizen is a curious element,
and hard to handle. As was re-
marked by a disgusted member of a
school board the other night the
