LOCAL NOTES AND TOBACCO
JOTTINGS.
BY O. L. JOYNER.
SRS
There wil' be several more new
prize houses built here during the
summer. :
Greenville is expecting to sell
five millions pounds of tobacvo
nextyear. The year just closed tle
market sold between three ard
four million.
We hear the question frequent-
ly asked if there is not too much
tobacco planted. There is al-
ways too much common made but
the market has never been sup-
plied with too much fine tobacco.
The depositions taken in the
case of the Bonsack Machine Co.,
and the American Tobacco Co.,
against W. F. Smith & Sons, of
Winston N. C., bring out some
very important facts to the east
ern tobacco men. Some of the
leading leaf dealers in their de-
ositions estate that in eastern
orth Carolina the finest cutters
are grown and that the increase
in the tobacco acreage is mainly
in eastern North Carolina where
brights are grown almost. ex-
clusively. According to the ev-
idence taken it was conclusively
proven that cutters since 1890
have brought mure money or sold
higher in proportion than any
other grade of tobacco. Mr. H.
J.Boss in his deposition says that
cutters from 1880, sold for about
the same amount of money as
they have for the period since
January 1890 that is the four best
grades, whit wrappers he says are
om 25 to 40 per cent. lower and
fillers fally 50 per cent lower than
A good many farmers from dif--
ferent sections of the State also
made depositions and all of them
say that cutters have held up in
price better than any other grade
and that they try to make the cut-
ter grade heavier than any other
because they think to get more
money for it. As tothe price of
tobacco from 1885 to 1890, we

DOUBLE COLLISION.
Three Folks and Two Wheels Mix Up.
There was both a head to and
rear end collision out near the
depot Thursday eveving. It oc-
curred in this way: While wait-
ing for the train Walter Pender
and Zeb Highsmith were riding
their wheels between the tracks
down to the switch and back.
Some colored children were at;
play beside the track and one of
these"a boy"began amusing
himself by jumping across the
track just in front of the wheelmen |
as they came by. They rang
their alarm bells for the boy to
keep out of the way, but the boy
jumped just the same. Once he
made his jump most too late, and
PenderTs front wheel giving bim
a broad-sider sent the boy whiz-
zing several feet away, the rider
in the meantime turning a somer-
sault over his wheel and lending
square on top of the boy. They
bad hardly got settled before
Highsmith, who waza bringing up
a close rear, butted into the pile
and heaped omore weight on the
miller,� by landing on top of Pen-
der. When they all untangled
both bicycles were found sonsid"
erably bent, the front fork of
"
PenderTs being almost ruined.
The riders had a good shaking
up but fortunately neither of them
was hurt.

WOMEN IN JOURNALISM.
The English Aristocracy Seems to
Be Well Represented.
All journalists are sristocrats;
but, fortamately for those who have
a living toearn, all aristocrats are
not journalists, says an exchange.
Of those who are Lady Colin Camp-
bell, and Lady Violet Greville stand
first among the members of the
weaker sex. Lady Colin Campbell is
now editing the Realm, and she is a

other papers. Tamdy Violet 1s aiso
well known a8 8 writer of periodical
literature.. Her style is excellent.
It is light and versatile and refined,
aod her wide womanly sympathies
and keen perceptive powers add to
the charm of her work.
Some of the English princesses
write occasionaliy, although they
only accept an honorarium for char-
itable objects. Princess Christian
bas done a good deal of journalistic
work in her time, and always ina
straightforward and sensible man-
ner.
The countess of Aberdeen occa-
sionally writes on political and social
subjects, and the countesses of Jer-
sey, Munster and Mar all wield the
pen ably.
The duchess of Southerland isa
really good short-story writer, and
Lady Henry Somerset is a weekly
cootributor to her own paper, the
Woman's Signal.
Lady Meath and the countess of
Warwick have oecasionally written
articles, and among other titled
ladies who have taken up journalist
work may be mentioned Lady Jeune,
Hon. Emily Lawless, Lady Lindsay,
and in France the duchess dTUzes

Sir Arthur Sullivan tells this story
on himself in the Strand Musical
Magazine: ~~Together with a party
of friends, I was once traversing a
rather uncivilized district in the state
of California, when we stopped at a
mining camp for some refreshments.
The driver informed me that I was ex-
pected there, and, feeling rather
gratified to hear this, I made my
way to the whisky store. Three or
four fellows were lounging about,
and one approached a big, sturdy
man, who was standing near me, and
said to him: ~Are you Mr. Sullivan?T
vote for something | *P0O�"�s have been distributed among | The man shook his head, and pointed
his finger in my direction. After
~looking me up and down, the man
~demanded: ~What do you weigh?T

The dowager empress of China has .
had @ romantic bis She was an
extremely beautifu girl, the
daughter of poor parents who lived
in the suburbs of Canton. When
the family was starving she, know-
ing hercommercial value, persuaded
her parents to sell her as a siave.
She was purchased by a renowned
general, who, delighted with her
beauty, disposition and general clev-
erness, adopted and educated her as
his daughter. When later the gen-
eral was summoned to Peking, he
could think of no finer gift to offer
his sovereign than his daughter.
The emperor found her so charming
that he made her his wife. When her
husband died, in 1881, this slave-
empress became regent, the present
emperor being only seven years old.
She found Chinacrippled by debt and
torn by internal rebellions, yet five
years ago, when she handed over the
governing power to her son, peace
and prosperity reigned throughout
the vast empire."Chicago Tribune.
A MODERN ADAM.
He Is a Native of the Western Des-
erts.
Up in Bear valey, two summers
ago. I came across a camp where a
thin, bearded, bronzed man of about
thirty was cutting wood before a
smal) ~~A� tent. In the tent were
many scientific works, tneluding a
set of Encyclopedia Britannica.
Engaging him in conversation I
found he was a prospector who had
come in from the desert to let his
burros rest and fatten on the grass.
He had come down from Pahrumph
valley across the burning desert in
the hottest part of the summer.
~I stopped ut Vanderbilt,� said he,
o~and made several locations, one of
which I think will prove valuable,
but I got tired and moved on, and
am nowon my way toward southern
Arizona.�
I asked him how he liked the des-
ert, and he replied that he liked it
better than any other place. ~~See,�T
said he as he flung open the front of
his shirt, ~~I wear uo clothing when
on the desert.�
His breast was deep copper color,
even to his armpits, and fully bore
out his statement. His conversation
proclaimed him to be an educated
man, and he said his books were a
partof his camp outfit and accom-
panied him wherever he went. He
volunteered no other information
regarding himseif and his bearing
was Such as to preclude any ques-
tioniog, but I have often wondered
what could have caused him to choose
such a mode of life. Of one thing E
am sure"he will follow no other."

Combining Euziness and Pleasure.
A Kensington flagman at a rail-
road crossing has his own pet device
for a trysting place. His duties
keep him busy all night long at the
flag and the gates.- Then when he
is asleep by day his sweetheart, a
neigbborTs rosy-cheeked daughter,
is away from home at work. His
predicament has worried him. If he
should neglect his post for even a
quarter of an hour during an even-
ing tocall at the home of his charmer
the gates would be left up, and some
wayfarer might be killed by a wild-
cat locomotive at the crossing. So
Mr. Flagman the other night evolved
and entertained a happy thought.
There is a vacant house with an
amply-shaded veranda only twenty
feet from his crossing. Upon this
porch he placed an easy chair from
the parlorathome. The sweetheart
was covertly informed that the chair
was there and that it would certain-
ly be vacant from eight to nine night-
ly unless she should consent to fill
it, and that it was big enough for
two. The chair is now fully occu-
pied each evening; the lovemaking
is not neglected, and yet all the
trains and wildcats and wayfarers
are properly watched and flagged."
Philadelphia Record.
is Ignorance Bliss?
There is a delusion that, with most
M.| men, ignorance is womanTs greatest
charm. A man may not like his wife
or his sister to display more knowl-
edge than he himself has, but every
man does like intellectual sympathy.
The most conservative manTs ideal of
woman requires above all that she
be charming; that she should please,
and there is something absurd in the
notion that education will interfere
with this ideal. Buta girlTs educa-
tion is not thrown away, if she
should choose to quietly settle down
after graduation to be the guide of a
home circle. She may be a greater
benefactor than one who becomes
famous through scientific discovery.
The study and practical care of the
the needs and comforts of a home;
and the education of children is the
highest and grandest opportunity
yet afforded to woman. The world
may take care of itself, but the home
cannot. Let the girl grow naturally,
as we do the boy, and give her the
benefit of the broadening influence
ex! of public spirit and responsibility.
¢
Let her have a share in all these
8 | widening circles of duty in the home,
and then she will be meeting the
highest type of womanhood, compe-
Ri tent to meet any demands that may
be made upon her."Philadelphia
