OaksTT"An Age of Quick News"

Other} Notes.
(Special Correspondence: to Reflector.)
Raveicu, N, C., June 22nd, 1896.
Epiror RerLector."It may be
that some of your readers would like to
know what is going on here, and witi
your permission we propose to jot down,
from time to time, such items as we
may think may be of interest to them,
from the oCity of the Oaks.�
Doubtless most of your readers have
sometyme in their lives visited this city,
and are familiar with its location, the
beauty and loveliness of the surround-
; jing country, its charitable and penal
institutions, its pure water and healthful
_. {¢limate, and the generous hospitality
and good breeding of its citizens ; so ot
these we shall not speak for the pres-
ent, but try to give you such news as is
of daily occurrance.
In thisday of telephones and _tele-
graphs a good many of the county
papers get the news before it can be
transmitted through the mails, Col.
Fred Olds, the wide awake correspon-
dent and news gatherer, told me this
morning that he furnished the news to
entirely by wire. The cost of doing
this is very much less than we had
supposed. The Wilmington Messen-
ger, Charlotte Observer and other
daily papers published simultaneoulsy,
ull the rews of interest transpiring here,
witn the city papers.
About all the educational institutions
of Raleigh have held their commence-
ments, as closing exercises are called,
and the students have gone to their
various homes to spend their snmmer
vacation. Each institution, of course,
claims a larger attendance and more
gratitying progress than in any former
year. We had the pleasure of attend-
ing the moat of them and were favor-
ably impressed and frank to express
our convictions, that the schools here
are of high grade,and, most of the teach-
ers thoroughly competent, faithtul and
zealous in the performance of their du-
ties. The A. & M. College established
here a few years ago for the especial
and is now in good working order with
all necessary machinery, well stocked
~with improved breed of cattle and hogs,
a model barn and farmins impliments
of the latest patera. The sons of farm
ers are here taught how to make their
own liviny in some practical way, while
the developments of their minds and
muscles are not ueglected. Most all,
if not every one, who have graduated
here is now occupying some responsible
position at good wages. Technical
training while tending to intellectural
devolopment, trains the hand . and
reconciles the practical with ths scien-
tific. It teaches our young men not to
be ashamed of honest labor and at the
same time enables poor boys to earn
their own bread. The young man that
has learned to make a steam engine,
take charge of water. works, electric |;
ae plants, understand steeet car sys

THE CROP CONDITION.
emo
BY 0. L. JOYNER.
eee
From tl.e information that we have :
gathered from the conntry in various
sections there is no question of doubt}.
but that while the tobacz) crop in some
sections is more forward than usual it};
is still a very unsatisfactory one to the
farmers.
mers that managed to get all their
crop set on a good season in April or
very early May who have good stands
with the exception of where the bud |;
worms cut it down during the cold | %
nights ia May.
vanced and in some cases are all topped
out and are looking very well indeed,
but the great body of the tobacco was
set trom May 5th to 15th, and beyond
doubt this tooacco is more unsatistacto- |
ry to the farmers in many ways than
any crop we have ever grown. While
it may be reverse to the criticisms
made of the crop of eastern North Car- |
olina by a good many other reporters
yet it we were called upon to give an| 9
estimate of this crop in comparison | 5%
with the T95 crop we shoull most cer-
tainly not place it over 80 in condition,
and while we cannot tell what the fu-
ture seasons will be or how the crop
will be looking in ten days, we do know
that unless there is a decided change
for the better, and that soon, the
eastern North Carolina crop this year
will be by far the poorest that we have
ever had. Andabout the acreage some
of our high flying enthusiasts will be
surprised some of these days when they
realize that there was not as much to-
bacco planted in eastern North Carol.�
na in 1896 as there was in 1895. One
of the most destructive hail storms
passed through a section of country on
the north side of the river that we
have ever had. Mr. J. S. Smith tells
us that he had 84 acres of tobacco and
that it is literally torn all to pieces.
He had already cured one barn of prim-
ings and would soon have been ready
to commence curing in full blast. The
storm passed through « section about
five miles in length doing great damage
to all the crops but Mr. SmithTs .and
Mr. BarnhillTs were the worst damaged
of any that we have heard of, theirTs
being entirely ruined.
ALIKE IN NAME.
Another Daily Reflector Published in
Ohio.
Our good friend Alex Heilbroner, of
New York, who is now on a tip
through the western states, sends us a
copy ofa paper published at Norwalk,
Ohio, that made us feel quite at home
when we read the head line. The
name of the paperis THe Darty Re-
FLECTOR, and doubtless the similarity
of names led Alex to believe a copy of
it would be interesting to us. And so
it proved.
While both papers have identically
the same name there are some points
of differenceT between us. First it 1s
larger, being just the size of our week.

ASTRONG SERMON ON DEBT

[Rev. D. H. Tuttle in North Carolina
Christian Advocate. ]

Just at this time our country needs a
religion that will make a man pay_ his
debts. Shouting donTt settle old notes
and accounts with God nor man"cash
up. We want to pounce right on a
fellow and put him out of the church if
he goes to a ball or a theatre or gets on
a drunk, but never say a word to the
pious scamp who never pays his debts.
Preachers and people who do not pay
their debts are doing the church more
oharm than danders and drunkards "
there are more of'them in the church.

DonTt you cut shines on hired turnouts
(maybe they are not paid for) when
you might walk and use the money to
make your creditors smile? A plainer
suit ot clothes would be more becoming
to you until you pay for those worn out
last season. When expenses not nec-
essary for the feeding and clothing uf
the body are cut off and applied to the
payment of debts, then you grow in
~Zod, and not until then
does God excuse you,
Repentance on this point must be of
that Godly sort that needeth not to be
repented of. Reader, were you sorry
that you had not paid your debts when
you made a profession of religionT If
you were not that is just why you have
not gota debt-paying religion. ~True re-
pentance has a backward as well as a
forward effect on the lite of the believer.
He will as for as pcssible, make good
his past wrongs. Many new converts
sing, oJesus paid it all, all to him I
owe.� Nosuch thing. Jesus did not
pay it all; neither do you owe all to
him. If the week before you were con-
verted you owed your neighbor ten dol-
lars and was able to pay it, you owe
that neighbor ten collars yet. Jesus
did not pay that for you. If you donTt
pay that debt it will meet you at judg-
ment as sure as you are a sinner. It
is mean in you to expect Jesus to pay
debts for you that you can pay your-
self. If you have a Christian heart in
you, think how much Jesus paid for
you that you never could have met at
GodTs bar of inflexible justice. Some
people think that the cleansing stream
of JesusT blood washed Sinai away and.
déluyed the law"no such thing. Je-
sus came not to destroy, but to fulfill,
and give grace that we through him
might fulfill.
At the close of a great revival a few
years ago a number of young men

at barrooms for whisky, etc. I told
them to oowe no man anything,� olet

give the devil his dues. All of those
young men save one or two went and
paidT up, those bad debts and have
mid no more.� Those who could not
sse that it was them duty to pay up
those debts have returned to their old
paths and their second state is worse
taan the the first.
- Then let the whole Church pray for
a revival of debt-paying religion, ia
every revival let prayer by made that
the new converts may Itave grace to
pay up oold debts� and not contragt
new ones without a good probability
of paying them.

Both preachers and people need to be
more careful, prayerful and_payful
along this line. ~The, greatest necessity
of the present time is confidence among
the people. Let the church command
and demand her membership to live
up to their promises and coniracts,
and soon the financial darkness will
give way to a brigliter morn of pros-
parity. in all business circles. Keep
the Amen corners and tront seats clear

Because I have to ask you for atew

to tell you. I prefer to die. I send you
this by messenger, who will wait for
an answer. Believe me my dearest

what I have written, I have been run-

take the letter from him, but I cannot
catch him up. Heaven grant that some-
thing may hap pen to stop him, or that
my letter may get lost.�

THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH.
Customs in Regard to His Treatment Are
Slowly Changing.
The southern people say that a north-
ern man, after living south a few years,
is a fierce negro-hater, far outdoing
the southern man in his antagonism
ant of the negroTs inherent character-
istics. It.is, however, the northern
people who are helping the negroes to
This is not said
in criticism of the southern people,
for conditions were made for them long
ago, and their feelings and opinions
ment, which will in time be changed
by the new conditions.
It is simply impossible for them to
look at the negro as we do. Illustra-
tions of this are constantly met in
coing about the city. One morning.
when starting for the fair grounds,
a ~bus driver on his way back from,
the grounds drew up his horses to the
walk, where several were waiting for
the car, and said if we would meke up
« load he would turn around. When
we started off there was room for two
more in the Tbus and room for one on
the seat with the driver. I sat next to
the driver on the inside, and we had
gone only a few rods when a neatly-
diressed, very respectable young col-
ored woman and a boy, alsoT well:
dressed, signified by a slight gesture
that they wanted to ride. The driver
did not see it, so I said: oThere are
{wo passengers.� He drew up to the
walk and the woman and voy got in.
The driver looked around at them, and
then, utterly regardless of their feel-
ings, said in a loud voice: o If I had
hnown it was a nigger I wouldn't have
stopped.� But he did not turn them
out. A few rods further an Italian,
dirty and ill-kept, stood with his harp
by his side, as if he also were waiting
for a ride, and our driver pulled up his
horses and pointed to the seat beside
him; but the harpisi was not ready
to go, so we drove on.
It is simply a confliction of ideas,
not personal antipathy. A young
southern woman was shocked because
we two northern women went to lunch
:n the negro building. She acknowl-
edged that a colored cook always pre-
pared her meals, and a colored waiter
always served her, but to go to a res-
taurant where a colored manTs brain
managed the business, and a colored
man or woman might occupy a table
next to you"that she could not con-
ceive of a white personTs doing.
~The negro has, however, made a
freat..stride. by this exhibition. Not
so much by. the simple showing what
they can. manufacture as by the faet

The Red Sea,
"_"- |
Many persons having wondered
why the Red Sea should be so
called. The name was originally
apolied io it because portions of
it are covered with patches, from
a few yards to several miles
square, composed of microacopic
vegetable animalculae, which dye
the waters a blood-red. When
not affected by these organisms,
the Red Sea is intensely blue, the
shoal waters shoving shades of
greep." Sel.
The secular newspapers in an-
nouncing the purchase of the site
of Babylon by two wealthy Jews,
speak cf it as one of the revenges
of time, where, mapy centuries
ago, the Jews were in captivity,
and it seemed as if the Isriaelitish
nation had perished, but God bad
promised that they should endure
forevermore, and the promise
holds good to-day. -The Jews are |
~still a peculiar people, but Baby-
lon, ogreat Babylon which I have
buiit,� said Nebuchadnezxar, is
but a name, and two. Jews own
he original site.

Everybody who knows Theophilus
Bland, Jr., can vouch for his guod
character. It was.a pleasure to hear
him say while in town to-day, that he
has the finest crops he ever had in his
life.
He has 60 acres in cotton which he
says will average knee high, 22 acres
in tobacco that will average waist high
and is already three-fourths topped, and
100 acresin corn which is the finest he
ever had and will be through laying it
by next week. He also planted 5 acres
in potatoes and got from them 35. bar.
rels per acze which have been suld at
$1.25 per barrel net. © Mr. Bland says
he has never cultivated a erop sd eusily
and with as little exp2nse as this sea-
son,
When asked if he was a candidate
for County Commissioner he' said «No,
sir "I wonld not be a candidate for
any office (except overseer of the road)

Mr. Bland is a plain, practical, man
of sterling qualities, lives well, works
his land and ~has one of the finest farms
in the county, chiefly made so by his
energy and good judgment. His home
and his fanily are his chief pride,
