Tho Cotton Plant.
According to good authority, says
tho and fireside, the cotton
plant was grown long before the
Christian era. Many persons are
under the impression that Cortes
was first discoverer of cotton,
having found it in Yucatan 1519.
There seems to be some doubt as to
this species of cotton being the
same as that which was known to
the ancient inhabitants of India.
These people, according to En-
cyclopedia raised cotton
as early as B. C, made
something of it. too, at remote
period. India still produces cotton
something over bales a
is shipped to England
and there manufactured. Still, a
large portion of the cotton crop of
the United States goes to England
for manufacture also. American
cotton is of much better quality
than India cotton, and is used
for making finer classes of Eng-
cotton goods. The India cotton
is for fabrics and even
then a good deal American cotton
is mixed with it to improve the
texture.
Cotton was also raised In
years B. C, though that
try was never regarded as a source
of supply for staple. Central
and South America and the West
Indies, though now but little re-
as cotton-producing
tries, formerly ranked high in this
respect.
Cotton fabrics have long been
known to Peruvians. Is
evidence it was successfully
cultivated by them as early as
or in the rime of the Incas.

Things seem to have changed
considerably in Ohio recently. In
fact the situation now is unique.
The Republicans nominated

author of the bill which bears
his name. The fight was to be
made along this line. This was
necessary for the vindication of

of the present administration.
But what do we see now Every
Republican journal in the State is
deserting this line of policy for the

In its issue of the 4th the
i gave the dates of
the County Days at the Southern
Exposition to open October 1st.
Each county is to have a day, or
rather a day, two counties
being assigned a day together
from the fact that the Exposition
will not continue long enough
for each county in the State
to a separate day.
Pitt county day, as the
Ton published a few weeks ago,
has beep put on October
Chatham county the same day.
These two splendid counties might
make a grand display on that day,
but if Pitt does not do some stir
ring in the meantime it is very
evident she will not be in it.
Ever since receiving the letter
Oct. 19th as Pitt county day the
has tried to awaken an
interest in the matter, but so far
the effort has proved a failure.
Only one man in the county has
expressed a willingness to make a
contribution to tho enterprise, and
only one has declared an intention
of exhibiting anything.

He has sold goods longer and perhaps
more of them than any individual

Fine Cotton.
Saturday Daniel King brought us
a stalk of cotton from the prize patch
about which he wrote the Reflector
two weeks ago. The stalk was
feet high, as broad across
and contained over two hundred
boils, squares and blossoms. It is
as fine a stalk of cotton as we ever
saw. Daniel says it was not a picks
eel stalk but only shows a fair aver-
age of his patch. He also says that
notwithstanding the ten days of bad
weather recently he is still hopeful
of making four bales on the acre.
He is confident of winning the
gold prize offered by the

Pitt farmers are nearly

to offer a word of
lion to Mr. Evans. He is the pioneer
tobacco grower of the and
success with which its cultivation
here has met is due largely to him.
Everybody knows what an upright,
reliable man be is and Hie general
management of the warehouse
not have been placed in better hands
Mr. O. T. Forbes is a young ma.,
who has ha i experience at handling
tobacco and will make an excellent
floor manager. He was one season
Davis A Gregory, at Oxford, in
this capacity.
Mr. O. L. Joyner will admirably
fill the position of book-keeper. He

course.
Mr. R. J. Hart, the auctioneer, is
from Henderson. He has had large
experience in the tobacco warehouse
work and knows all about every de
it. He was with Y
Cooper four years. Besides being
auctioneer he will buy for a large

These men selected to conduct the
warehouse will begin work for it at

Hart go to Richmond and Danville
to interest buyers in this market and
to arrange with the factories to take
the purchases of the warehouse.
Next week Mr. Jo, will visit
Henderson, Oxford and Durham
securing buyers and acquainting
himself with warehouse work.
One thing is Pitt county-
tobacco is wanted, it will be sought
after, and the buyers arc going to
come here to get it.
Now a word to the farmers. Green

will bring just as high prices here as

So much is about tho
and impudence of the clerks in the
big dry goods stores that when one is
found that cannot be made cross by
any combination of circumstance he
ought certainly to have the lit of
that fact being heralded oven
if for obvious reasons neither his i
nor the name of the store which is so
fortunate as to have his services ran be
given. The store Is, however, in Four-
street and tho clerk Is the
most a one in the whole
retail dry goods district so it may not
be a bard matter for shoppers to
him.
It was on the very hottest day r the
month that this clerk was put t bis
severest test An lady from tho
country had, with an infinite amount
of trouble, succeeded in making
what extensive purchase of linen for
her table. To pass over the
nary incidents of tho showing of about
all the tablecloths and napkins and
In stock before the purchase
was made, the real trouble began with
the payment
Tho old lady emptied out on the
counter the contents of n small hand-
bag. The contents were dimes and
five cent pieces, and there was a big
heap of them. The purchase came to
Just under twenty dollars. After
counting it over twice, tho clerk bad to
charter two extra trains on tho cash
railway in order to get the money to
tho cashier's desk.
Tho old lady gave minute directions
for the doing up of her package, and
started for the door. She stopped to
think, and came back Again. She said
that the napkins she had picked out
were too coarse after all, and she be-
that would take finer ones.
The bundle was sent for, and the
was mode. More dimes and
five cent pieces dumped down be-
fore the smiling clerk.
Once more the old lady started for
tho door, and more she came
She thought that she would like to
look at the tablecloths that she had
bought. The clerk laid out her pack-
age before her, but she decided not to
make any in the tablecloths,
and started away again; but she came
back once more and the tray-
cloths changed and the clerk had to
fix her bill again. There did not seem
anything that she could want
changed, and the clerk sent the bundle
upstairs.
In ten minutes the troublesome buyer
was back again. This time she wanted
a of New York newspapers
sent to be done up with her bundle.
The clerk took them a gracious
remark that It would not be the least
trouble In world to them put
with her package, and then ho bis
attention to another customer as if all
this had not been an incident worthy
of notice.
Of course, stories told of
clerks much more accommodating than
this one, but they possibly might not
have tho advantage which this has of
being strictly York Times.
