Resolutions,

Whereas, ~t has come to our know
ledge that Charies B. Rouss, of tne
oity of New York, who was a true and
gallant private soldier in tha. Army cf
Northern Virginia, during the war be-
tween the States, has set apart frim his
private fortune the sum of one hundred

ing in erecting somewhere iu the South,
a Battle Abbey or Memorial building,
as a repository for the archives, relics
and reco:ds of the Southern Confeder-
acy, &nd that he has been a most lib.
eral conttibutor to all worthy Southern
charities, theretore be if resolved by
the members of the Rryan Grimes
Camp of Confederate Veterany here
present, and by the citizens ot Green-
ville N, Cio.

Ist. That our thanks are due and are
hereby tendered our comrade and friend
Charles b, Rouss, tor his munificent
and patriotié contributions tor the re-
liet of our comrades and the perpetua-

which was the first at Bethel and the
last at Appomattox, which furnished
more soldiers,and lost more in killed and
wounded, than any of her sister States,
in the war between the States, and
whose soldiers were the pers of any
the world kas ever seea, and that we
might therefore claim that upon: her
soil would be the proper pluce, for the
erection of the Battle Abbey, still we
thiak that Richmond, the capitol of the
Contederacy, the city most identified

the proper place tor its location, and we
earnestly request comrade Rouss to
use his great influence in securing the
erection of the Battle Abbey at Rich"!

drd That we sincerely sympathize
with comrade Rouss in hia affliction
and devoutly hope that his eyesight
may be restored and that he may live
to see the Battle Abbey a finished
structure.

best wishes to Gen. Thos. L. Rosser,

adopted May 28, 1897.

UNION MEETING,
SATURDAY EVENING SESSION,

The question for consideration at this
Session was oBaptists and Kducation.�
The discussion was opened by Mr. E.
E. Hilliard, of Scotland Neck, who
made an exceedingly fine address, He
pointed out the rapid educational prog-
ress that had been made by Baptists
during the last twenty-five years, show"
ing that the ministry and layity had
reached a far higher standard tban
previously existed, He said other
denominations had made progress along
the same line but his subject contired
him to the work of the Baptists partic"
ularly.

.

Ex-Gov. IT, J. Jarvis spoke interest"

ingly on the same subject, and in the
course of his remarks paid the Baptists
a high cumplimens. He sad he could
muke the assertion unhesitatingly that
the Baptists had done more for educa
tional advancement than any other de-
nomination, and possidly more than all
others combined.

Dr. R. ~lt. Vana ofered a vote cf
tnanks to the people of Greenville for
enteztaining the Union and mention d
the pleasure the meeting here had
afforded. ,

The committee appointed to select
place and preachers for the next meet-
ing of he Union recommend that as
the next fitth Sunday would fall ata
time when many of the ministers are
erfgaged in pro.tacted services, the
mesting be omitted then and no other
meeting be held until the fell, This
was adopted and the Union then ad-
journed.

Sunday Services,

Sunday was an interestiag und en-
joyable day to the people of Gree nville,
At the Methodist church in the moru-
ing Rev. N. M. Watson preached xn
able sermon on the duties of church
members. It was especially appzopri-
ate to those just being received into
the membership of the church and
strengthening to thos? already in the
MasterTs sevice. Atnight Rev. G. L,
Finch, of Williamston, preached in the
sam: church and all present pronounce
his sermon an excellent one.

The palpit of the Baptist. church was
filled beth morning and evening by Dr.

R. T. Vann, of Scotland Neck. Large |

congregations heard him at both services
and were delighted with his sermons.
There are fey ministers possessing the
ability ot Dr. Vann and he is always
heard gladly. His sermons leave a stronz

_lapress~on for good.

At 4 oTolock in the afternoon a Sun-
day school mass meeting was held in
the Baptist church. This meeting was
presided over by Mr. W. F. Harding
wao proved an admirable selection for
this duty. His introductory remarks
and presentation of the different speak "
ers were haopily expresssd. Addresses
were made by Rev. G. L. Finch, ex
Goy. T, J. Jarvis, Mr. E. E. Hilliard
and Mr. A, G. Cox. These addresses
were all ot a high order, covering the
different textures of Sunday school
work and the vast good they are doing
to the world, both in winning souls tor
Christ and in creating a higher type of
citizecship. Briel remarks were also
made by Messrs. A.B Ellington and
C. D. Rouncree. ;

The entire services of the day were
instructive and ed tying.

Joining the Churches,
Sunday morning twelve persons uni-
ted withthe Methodis tchurch,and seven
were received in the Baptist church :s
candidates for baptism. This is the
first ingathering from the recent meet"
ing and vihers ale expected to follow.

THE GREENVILLE TOBACCO
MARKET GOING FOR-
WAKD.

mE 2 me

More Prize Houses to be Built ard

- mwo Large Stemmeries Already
, in Frocess of Erection,

; Ase Ow ise JOYNER.
The history ofthe slow but sure
aid steady growih of the Greer-

_ ville tobacco market has too often
~been given to be unfamiliar or

require a repetition of its prog-
ress in the course of this article,
except to show the regularity
and unifor.rjity of each years
grovth. The first year the
Greenyille market sold two hun-

~dred and twenty five thousand

pounds with one warehouse and
one prize house. The second
year with two warehouses and
two prize houses It gold one mil-
lion two hundred and twenty five
thousand poands. Third year 4
third warezouse and two or three

* prize houses were built and this

year very near two and a_ half
million pounds were marketed
in Greenville. The fourth year
fourth warehouse and several
more prize houses were built,
gdnfidence in |
beginning to be established and
thd opposition that was at first
oferei begun to give way to en
gqouragement and ths year the
market sold nearly, or to be more
accurate there were sold on the
fourfjfloors a fraction over four
million nine hundred thousand
pounds. The past year with a
good many added improvements
over the preyious year wend in-
ereased facilities for handling the
crop, there were handled in
Greenville oyer a million pounds
more than the year before.

Thus it can be seen that while
we bave not made altogether as
rapid growth as is claimed by
some of our neighbor markets we
haye succeeded at best in buila
ing on a solid basis one
of, if not the best bright tobacco
markets in. the State. A very

onoticbable feature in developing

the market is the fact that nearly
all those interested have built
theirown houses and own themT
which increases the interest, if
possible, in developing any eater-
prise, for with their own money
invested it is but natural that
their energies should be increased:

Thus far I have spoken only of

the past growth of the market.|

~ Now a word as to the futme.

Roberts & Co. on this market,
has shown me a contract between
their firm and Messrs. 8. T. Hook.
er and CO. M.Bernard for remodel-
ing their huge factory. This
house 18 now one of the largest in
the east and when the remodeling
haa beer completed it will be one
of the most convenient. The
firm of T. E. Roberts & Co. will
change the style of their firm
name at this place and hereafter
it will be Roberts & Ficxlen.
Thev expect to equip this fac-
tory with machinery for steam
drying and stemming and Mr.
Ficklen tells me that they will be
prepared to do double the busi-
ness that they have been doing,

that this firm is one of the largest
buyers here it amounts to some-
thing for Greenville. [asked Mi»
Ficklen what his candid jude-
ment was about prices for the
growing crop. His ynequivocal
reply wasthat all grades. of \o-
bacco, except probably the very
common, would be better tnis
year. Herather seemed to think
that good wrappers would be in
better demand at better prices
than any other particular grade,
but said he thinks cutters and
smokers, too, will seil better this
fall that for some time past. This
is moet encouraging, for generally
speaking for some time past dea} _
ers nearly everywhere have been
disposed to be despondent about
the future pricss and it is very
gratifying to this writer indeed
to hear such a hopeful expression
from one who onght tu be in
pretty close touch with the trade.

I hava not been able to see Mr.
P. H. Gorman to know detinitely
whether any additional improve-
ments will be madein his factory-
His 18 already the most conye
nient factory here. ast year
they put in steam and remodeled
the whole factory making it
modern in every ~ particular.
With these improvements the
capacity of the Greenville market
will have been increased several
million pounds and with Green-
ville selling, as it truly does, the
finest bright tobacco grown in the
world, there seems to be no doubt
ofthe great possibilities in store
for her in the next few years.

What One Enorgetc Woman De2s"
There Shou'd Be More Like Her.

An incident occured here on Satar"
day which we feel almost sate in saying
is without a parallelin the county. A
lady came to town that day and made
some purchases at one of our stores.
She said she has been married 19 years,
has lived all time within four
mi'es of Greenville, her tamily numbers
ten persons, but this was the first time
she had ever been in a store and pur.
chased an article. When questioned
more fully she stated that she had
made at home all the cloth her family
needed, that her husband raised hi,
own supplies, that they never had to
buy anything except hats, shoes, sugar,
coffee. and the few things they could
not make or raise at home. She said
that while the women of the coumry
had largely abandoned the practice of
making cloth she had kept it up and
found that she could easily meet the
needs of her family in tpt particular.
She did this to help her husband along

this

The merchant was very much im-
pressed by the womanTs statement and
told her he desired to present her with|
a dress as a reward for her industry.
He is well acquainted with her husband

and. knows from his habits she had}

made a true statement of their manner
of living. The man never buys what

does buy the cash is paid for.
Such cuses as'this are so rare as be

remarkable. ~It was not a good day}

Could there bea return of these times
when the farm produced what the

of fewer mortgages on the farm and
the hard times croaker would lose his
occupation.

~vobacco Stems as Fertilizers.

Ce am

Tobacco stems supply both
nitrogen and potash. These
stems must not be confused with
Stems are the
midribs of the leaf that are dis-
carded when the leaf is cut into
wrappers or stemmed tor the
English markets. They are
largely employed in fertilizing
tobacco fislds; also potatoes,

feeding crops. Stems vary con-
siderably in analysis, according
to the quantity of sand and water
presept- American Agriculturist
in this connection gives the fol-
lowing information :

Tobacco stems are usually a
good purchase at $10 per ton.
Kentucky stems contain about 25
per cent. water, 62 per cent.
organic and volatile matter, in-
cluding 1.8 per ct-nitrogen and 13
per cent. mineral matter, of which
about 8 per cent. is potash and 1
per cent.is phosphoric acid. Seed
leaf stems are usualiy drier, con-
taining about the same quantity
of nitrogen and phosphoric acid,
but one-fourth less potasa. Av
with ajl coarse material, stems
should be applied very early in
the spring, and the better plan is
to plow them under in the fall.
They supply both nitrogen and
potash and are as well suited to
the tobacco crop. They are so

popular in the Connecticut valley }

KNEW HIS OWN VALUE,

A SiagveTs Reason For Not Purchasing His
Own Freedom,

Before the war, in the days of
slavery, a New York :jeweler of a
prominent family, who can be called
Mr. X., had owing to him a bill of
$1,200 from a reputedly weaithy
family in the south. Time .after
time the bill was rendered, but there
was no response, and finally Mr. X.,
as he.chanced to have other busi-
ness taking him beyond the Mason
and Dixon line, decided to call at
the hause of his debtor in New Or-
leans and see if he could get some
satisfaction for his clan.

On his. arrival there he found that
his debtor was in a bad way finan-
cially anil had but littk: money, al-

~for the billdue him almost demand-

~over every cent_to me and not steal

/can continue partners in the busi- |
ness, or you can buy me out, If you |.

~three cabs and as many teams, and | 4C
allowed him full anasageragat of | 46
the business.
So well did Jim take care of the |

bill a negro named Jim, a very
bright fellow and considered to be
worth fully $1,500. Jim was an ex-
pert horseman, and through all his
life had been working in the stables
of his master.

Mr, X. was in a quandary. His
abolitionist ideas prevented him
from being aslave owner, but his
natural anxiety to receive something

ed that he should accept the slave
as payment. Finally a bright idea
suggested itself, and he called the
negro to him.

oNow, Jim,TT said he, ~~I am going
to be your new master. I do not
want to live here in the south and
look after you, nordo I wish to take
you to the north with me. NowITve
been thinking of this plan: Will
you be honest, sober and attentive
to business if I set you upin the cab
trade in this city? Will you turn

from me? If you promise, I will set
you upin business, and when you
send me the money that you earn I
will eredit half of it to you. When
your half of the money above all
~the expenses amounts to $1,200, you
ican buy your freedom, and then we

or if you will not keep the promises
that you may make, I will sell you,

Jim, of course, promised, and
what is moro remarkable, he kept
his word. Mr. X. bought for him

enterprise that within a year he had
charge @f nine cabs and several
teams of horses fer cach cab. He
