LOCAL - NOTES AND TOBACCO
JOTTINGS.
Ce neal
BY O. L. JOYNER.
Mr. W. J. Cowell says he will
have the new warehouse cumplet-
ed iu about a week.
There will be a meeting in the
Court House Saturday of the to
bacco farmers for the purpose of
effecting a permanent orgsnize
tiou of a Tobacco Growers Asso-
ciktion. Every tobacco farmer is
especially invited.
M:. C.L Barrett tells us that
the tob.:cco farmers in the Farm-
ville section are heartily in favor
of and will take steps soon to or-
yzanize a Growers Association at
that place. After the organiza-
tion they will meet with the one
iu Greenville. Let every town-
ship in the county do likewise.
Mr. G. F. Evans recently pur-
chased an interestin the Eastern
warebouse and has thus establish-
ed himself permanently on the
rvarket. Mr- Evans is one uf the
pioneers in tobacco growing 1D
the county and the pioneer in the
warehouse business. It was he
who first took hold of and opera-
-ted the Greenville warehouse, the
tirst that was built in this town.
The Eastern will be eniaurged to
almost double its present capaci-
ty and in connection a prize house
will be built for the accommoda-
tion of the house.
We have recently read many
letters from farmers in various
sections of the county asking 18
there a nt on the looping
system of curing tobacco stripped
from the stelk. In each reply we
have expressed the opinion, not
from a point of informatiou how-
ever, thatthere was none. Think-
ing the matter of not much im-
portance we paid bat little at-
tention to it until in the last few
days information has reached us
that a protest against the use of
this method has been sent to
nearly ail the farmers in the
eastern counties. Immediately
upon hearing this we began to
iuquire when the patent, if there
wa- One, was dated and were told
that it was granted in 1889. At
once we wrote to the commuission-
er of Patents at ~Vashington,
C., to know if there was such a
patent and to send us a copy of
such patent. As yet we have had
no reply and as a matter of course
canTt say positively that there is
none, but it occurs to us that if
there was a patent granted in
1589 the method of curing tobac-
co by the looping system wWuas
long in use before that time, and
we certainly fail to see how a
patent could be granted upon a
thing that was already in com-
mon use atthe time. In 1885 or
1886 tobacco was first growu tn
Pitt county and we reeollect very
vividly of priming off the bottom
leaves and looping them ou a
stick to cure that year, yet at pre-
sent w- shall not undertake to
say that there is no patent on this
system bat will solemuly promise
our farmer friends to ferret ou.
this thing and let thew koow ail!
about it just as fast as we can.
There are a set of lawyers in
Washington whose business it is
to look after and secure patents
and we are told that in a grevrt
many instances patents are grant
ed upon things in common use at
the time of the grant, just as in
this instance. When such is the
case oftentimes a great outrage is
committed upon the public and it
seems to us that the courts of the
country should be its protection.
Look at this case from a point
of reason. Here for at least four
years our farmers have been em-
ploying almost ucanimously the
looping system, to some extent,
and yet we have neyer heard one
word or murmur against it until
right now. It canTt be that the
patentee has been ignorant of
this vast tobacco territory for
these many years. Then can it
be that he has been waiting for
ali the farmers to. get to using this
system and then scoop downupon
them and make them pay him
an enormous sum for using
the system. We donTt believe htey
will hear to it.
oMy dear, look down below,�
said Mr. Grandiose, as he stood
on the bridge with his wife, aud
at a tug hauling a long line
of barges. oSuch is life: the tug

ing, while the barges, like women,

G., acridly, othe tug does all the

As to Wedding Presents.
It is a sutprisé to note that a
question has arisen at Camden, N.
J.. as to whether wedding presents
| belong to the bride or groom. Cam-
| den is near New York, and in New
York the bride generally owns prac-
tically everything and the groom
gets what he can induce her to give
bim. Aside from that, bowever,

A Fastidious Miss.
A short time ago a young woman
of fashion in Washington went to
ome of tbe taxidermists of the
Smithsonian institution and wanted
a favor. She had with her a bright
eanary bird, alive and chirruping,
land she much desired tbe taxider-
mist to kill and stuff the bird for
ber. She went on to say that she
had *~huated all over the city for a
bird of _just this shade,� because she
wanted the plumage to match in
color a new gown which she was
baving made. The bird that she
brought she wanted stuffed for an

, Odkua & Oo: have just
completed a fine silk flag on a spe-
cial onder, to whichis attached a
pretty romance, says the Baltimore
Sun.
A few years ago, after the close
of the war, a young man liviny ina
suburb of Boston, Mass., conveyed
his invalid sister to a hotel at Old
Poiot Comfort, hoping the genial
climate would aid in the restoration
of ber health. The orpban chiidren
and only heirs of a wealthy leather
magnate, with interests in the great
tanneries at Salem and _ leather
houses in Boston, they had abund-
ant means to entertain in lavish
style and soon were the center of a
select circle at the noted resort.
Among the most intimate friends
they won by their hospitality was u
Maryland girl of much yrace aud
beauty, who was that season's belle
at Old Point. The youny New Eng-
lauder courted her assiduously, but
as she boasted that she was a ~~little
rebel� and ~~woutd never marry a
Yankee,� he postponed the ~~pop-
ping of the question.� However,
before parting he frankly told ber-
that she bad stolen his beart and he
would never wed another.
oIf yeu can ever kiss the starry
flaz,�T were bis parting words to her,
~~T will fly to you from any part of
the world.�
~*] never cau,T
laughter.
Years passed away. The young
raam's sister kept in correspondence
with the charming Marylander and
finally camc the news that she was
married. He plunged into literature,
the resort of Bostonians; traveled
on the continent, went around the
world a restless wanderer, never
forgetting his vow ~~to marry no
other thae she." He haunted Old
Point, season after season, hoping
to catch a glimpse of the eyes that
had fascinated him, and a year ago
heard that she was a widow, child-
less and penniless. Through his in-
valid sister he conveyed to her,
after the lapse of several months, a
msesayve that brought to him a few
days ggo this reply, while he was in
Baltimore on bis way home:
oIT will kiss the starry flag.�
Immediately he ordered an elab-
orate flag made"~~one worthy to be
kissed by a queenTT"and hastened
toan old mansion near Washington,
where the young widow was sojourn-
ing.
~Hold it till I wire for it,� was his
order.
The flag is now on exhibition,
gracefully draped in ove of the Bal-
timore street windows, and it is ex-
pected that in a short time the ro-
mance will culminate in a nuptial
event tbat will occur under its folds.
The flag is of the beavies* silk, one
of its characteristics being that the
stars and stripes are woven into it

THEY USE SILVER BULLETS.
Indians Who Possess Valuable Mines
of SWwer and Copper. "
On the headwaters of the Copper
river, Alaska, about two hundred
miles from the sea coast, where
a white man has ~never been
allowed to _"ivisit, dwells a
strange and peculiarly mysterious
race of Indians. In recent years,
through some unknown means, thev
acquired possession of a few guns,
and now when they come down to the
trading postson Kneek river, at the
head of CookTs inlet, they often bring
bullets molded out of silver and other
metals. The Alaska Commercial
company's agent, three years ago,
obtained several of these bullets and
sent thém to San Franciso to be
assaved, and the returns indicated
sixty-five per cent. was silver, the
remainder ~being copper and lead
with a slight trace of gold.
The Indians have a great many
primitive weapons and cooking uten-
sils, all of which are rudely though
skillfully made out of pure copper.
They have frequently informed the
white traders that silver-and copper
abound in immense quantities at the
base of a certain peak, back of Spirit
mountain, which is now reckoned
as being the highest moun-
tain in North America by sur-
veyors and engineers who have
viewed it from a distance. It is
known that these Indians have no
means or knowledge of reducing ore,
and it seems almost certain that
they must be telling a true story
about siiver and copper being found
in almost pure quantities in its na-
tive state.
The winter is the only time the
Indians visit the coast for trading
purposes. In the summer the post
on Kncek river is abandoned on ac-
sountof the rapacious appetite of the
mosquitoes, it beiug impossible for
4 human p-rson to survive their at-
Se. eral ipstances are known
where they have killed and devoured
lndian dogs. The natives, for that
reason, give the coast a wide berth
in the summer.
The general opinion prevails that
when ue forces these
{ndians open this country up to
exploration many rich gold and sil-
ver mines will be discovered, more
| chan the famous Treadwell mines on
Wrangell island."Glo be-Democrat.
