We should lose faith in tho intelligence of tho man on learning that in this one office misdirected and insufficiently addressed letters were received, did we not learn at the same time that of these letters were corrected and for- warded by other members of the human race. Tho items of mail matter handled averaged for each day and the number of pouches, the aggregate for the year being 428,973.500 letters and pouches.

Bat the himself to the best advantage is to be rewarded for doing it The prize is only a stimulus to do something that would be well worth doing without it.

A patent strikes most people as an appallingly formidable thing. Tho idea is that an inventor must be a natural genius, like Edison or Bell; that he must devote years to delving in complicated problems and that ho must spend a fortune en delicate expo- before ho can get a new device to a degree of perfection. This delusion tho company desires to dispel. It desires to get into the head of the public a clear comprehension of the fact that it is not the great, complex, and expensive that bring the best re- tarns to their authors, but tho lit- simple, and cheap ones the things that seem so absurdly vial that the average citizen would feel somewhat ashamed of bring- them to tho attention of the Patent Office. Edison says that the profits he has received from the patents on all his marvelous inventions have not been sufficient to pay tho cost of his experiments- the man who conceived the idea of fasten- a bit of rubber cord to a child's ball, so that it would back to the hand when thrown, made a fortune out of his scheme. The modern sewing-machine is a of product of the toil of hundreds of busy brains through a hundred and fifty years, but the whole brilliant result rests upon tho simple device of putting the eye of the needle at the point instead of at the other end.

To people to keep track of their bright ideas and see what there is in them, the Press Claims Company has resolved to offer a prize. To the person who submits to it the simplest and most invention, from a commercial point of view, the company will and could apportion it at pleas and they looked to the Re- publican party to see that their rights of ownership were not en upon afterward. And the party has always taught them to regard it as their protector.

It is, as we understand it, an outrage upon the tax payers of North Carolina- The on Mr. J. A.

He went over there to serve, or pretend to serve, writs of and found the houses locked up and the inhabitants in the streets, and because he feared violence he did not attempt to eject any of them. If he had a man of deter- we believe he would have had the trouble settled with- out any bloodshed and without having troops called to the place.

Representative Grady and ex- Speaker Rose, of North Carolina, called upon Postmaster General last week and asked for the removal of the post- master in Fayetteville who was appointed about a year ago. They showed that he had several women, relatives of his, in the office, and that the whole crew were very distasteful to tho of the town- Mr. in- formed them that unless some charges of incompetency were preferred against him that he would be allowed to continue in the place until he had served out his time, about three years longer. Messrs. Grady and Rose had their temper somewhat aroused in the conversation. They said some plain things to the Post- master General but he remained obdurate and if any thing is done it will be after the matter has been referred to Mr. Cleveland. His attention will undoubtedly be called to it and it is to be hoped that the President will not force the good people of Fayetteville to be burdened with one of Mr. Harrison's appointments for the almost entire term of his This is carrying civil vice too far and makes evident the fact that it is a humbug, any- way. The Wilmington Messenger and some other papers suggest that Congress should buy homes for the dispossessed at James City. The Messenger will be just and humane, and will be generally approved. Mr. Bryan ought to be willing to sell at a price under the circumstances. Lands entered at can not be intrinsically worth more than now, we would suppose.

If Congress does take any action in the matter it might be well to buy homes for the poor in a cheaper Free Press.

Simmons, that he said while a member of Congress he could have easily secured the pas- sago of a bill appropriating or to pay for the prop- and allow the to re- main there undisturbed, but when the matter was mentioned to Mr. Bryan he wanted for it. If Mr. Bryan thinks the property worth that much he ought to be made pay taxes on it accordingly. He has caused the State to be put to enough expense without trying to swindle her by falsely listing his property for taxation- MEETING. Greenville, N.

It that the said petition was regularly filed and that proper notice to Mrs- Grimes had been served and returned, and upon the hearing, the petitioners being represented by Latham Skin- attorneys and Mrs. Elizabeth Grimes being represented by P. G. James, attorney, upon petition and answer, and the affidavits filed and evidence introduced the Board doth adjudge that a public road across the lands of Eliza- beth Grimes known as the Avon, in township, with a termini at a point on the Greenville and Washington public road, where a gate is erected to the entrance of a farm path across said land lead in a northerly direction to Tar River, and the other termini at a point on the south side of the River directly opposite wharf on the north side of said Tar River, is necessary and would be convenient and useful to the public. And it is ordered by the Board that an order be issued to the Sheriff of the county directing him to summon a jury of five free holders to lay out a public road between the herein men- according to law. It is further ordered and ad- judged that the said Elizabeth Grimes be permitted to erect and maintain gates across such road until the 1st day of Oct. 1893, and after that date she shall remove the same within days alter no- to do so from this Board- It is further ordered and ad- judged that all costs, damages and expenses that have been or may be hereafter incurred by reason of the filing of this and the laying out of such road shall be paid by the petition- J. R. Davenport, R. R. Flem- and R- S- Tucker, who by their counsel, Latham Skinner, consent to the taxing of costs, expenses and damages against them.

Colored Odd Fellows Celebrate. Last Friday the colored Odd Fellows of this town celebrated their Visiting lodges from Washington and Tarboro came to part in the exercises. Bands from Hookerton and Washington were here, and these with the home band made the day lively with music. The lodges and bands paraded the streets and made quite a large pro- cession. A more orderly assemblage of colored people has at no time been seen here. The orator of the day was Rev. W. J. Solomon, now of Hookerton but once a pastor in Greenville. He is an intelligent colored man who is ranch in- in the race problem, and gives his people good advice at every Among other things, he told them Friday that the white and colored people had always here in the South together and they must continue to do so ; that occupying an inferior stage his race must look up to the whites for guidance; that the best way to get along well together was to conduct them- selves creditably, act honorably, or to make good and useful citizens, and Personal.

Mr. James ex- plained that it was unintentional and he meant nothing by it. Harris seemed not satisfied at this and cursed James, when the latter picked up a chair and struck him a blow that fractured his skull. Harris has since been in serious condition but was reported better at last accounts. Mr. James left town next morning. A Day Pleasantly Spent.

In the party were Misses Jennie Williams, Hortense Forbes, An- Perkins, Bessie Jarvis and Estelle Williams, Messrs. W. H. Long, R. fly- man, H. W. J. L. Fleming, E- Buck and some others. They feasted on fish fresh from the seine and the nice lunches taken along by the ladies, with apples, oranges and lemons for dessert. After dinner, by the kindness of the he lumber road officials, the party took a ride of about fifteen miles on the rail- road. The sweet singing of the ladles to guitar accompaniment made the all the more enjoyable. The of young lawyers along is a tee that the and re- full attention. The party re- turned home late in the afternoon and voted many thanks to Mr. Buck, to whom they were indebted for so ranch enjoyment. The Board Organizes.

The Board of of Pitt county will be in session the first Monday in June next for the pose of appointing committeemen in the several school districts and it is desired that the people In each district themselves In recommending suitable names to till said office.

TOBACCO Mr. R. W. Royster is again con- fined to his bed with ear-ache. A good many farmers tell us they are through setting out their tobacco. Mr. Warren Tuck- them- Certainly we have the most God-favored section in the State- While the Central State planters are boasting of having tobacco leaves as large as a half dollar, numbers of our eastern planters are through setting. Mr- D. A- Owen, of Winston, N. C, was in town last week look- after the plug tobacco interest- He says this is a fine country and a factory is what is needed. Nothing how- ever has yet been accomplished- Mr- S. A. White, who for the past four years has been trying to get the people of Wilson to en- gage in the manufacture of plug tobacco, passed through here a few days ago and says that he in- tends visiting Greenville again- We have thus far sold five tobacco and without a single exception we are that they are entire satisfaction. Improved farm machinery always pays a handsome profit besides it marks the owner ad a progressive and wide farmer- Talk about your wide awake get up and get business men but Bob Royster is one of them, and that he is hard at work trying to build up the tobacco interest of Greenville goes without saying. About two months ago when the Confederate was in- in Richmond by the southern women and each south- State was asked to send con- of its products which after the exhibition should be sold and the proceeds applied to the purchase of a monument in of the Confederate dead, Mr. Royster was one of the first to re with forty pounds of choice tobacco which cost him more than fifty cents a pound, marked from Greenville, Pitt Co., N. C, with his business card attached, his object being to contribute to so noble a cause and at the same time advertise this section of the State before the southern Ho also has a fair sample of eastern tobacco at the in Chicago. If we had a few more like him Greenville would soon get on her Sunday dress It is already feel- his presence. THE GUARD AT As most of the readers Know the writer of this department spent most of last week in Being a member of the State Guard we were ordered to that place to as- in carrying out the laws in the case of Bryan vs. James City with which is perfectly familiar- And while the object of this department is not to stories of travels or how to conduct a campaign yet at this time for the want of a better subject we beg the indulgence of our readers for a short while and we shall endeavor to briefly speak of oar trip what we saw and heard, and some of the of the horn guard. The State's summons and the departure of the Rifles has before been told so to begin we find our- selves on the road speeding rap- idly along to the of action. At Parmele we were joined by the Washington Light Infantry, at Tarboro by the Edgecombe Guards and in Rocky Mount n other companies of the 1st. Regiment steamed in and by the time we reached Goldsboro all of the companies expected arrived and the special ordered for the occasion took the entire regiment over the old North Carolina should not complain, hence in this particular at least we shall en- to comply with the sites. After being assigned a room and depositing our blankets, it was the writer's good fortune to be first placed on guard duty. It is not always a good plan to stand at the head the company. Everything pass- ed off pleasantly, however, until about half past one o'clock, at this hour all was quiet save now and then the husky voice of a sentinel on his midnight beat speaking to some straggling passerby who all at once coming direct from the course of James City, the familiar roll beat of the kettle drum was heard, we stopped and leaning a tree listened to be sure that we were not mistaken. There was no mistake, James City was preparing for battle and we were about ready to get some- body else awake when an old came to our rescue and in reply to our question what all that noise was said, de to de Great didn't we feel good In a short while he had all the tobacco he wanted and wended his way onward. Nothing of interest curred until Wednesday evening when orders were received that the guard would leave the next morning, all arrangements been made for a settlement with James City. But this was only short lived however, for the order was soon countermanded and in its stead the report was circulated that we would be ordered to James City next morning which produced a singular effect upon some of the boys. It made them so deathly sick that the doctor was summoned, but about the only medicine that proved was the signing of the of agreement between Mr. Bryan and James City and when the order for dinner was given, canned beef and soda crackers held their own. Our mission be- finished without trouble or bloodshed, before leaving next morning we were ordered on bat- drill through the of the city and but for the sad dent that occurred on this drill, everything would have passed off quietly and pleasantly. Every- body has heard of the painful news death of our Lieutenant Colonel, David N. It is to say that the State Guard has lost an able and efficient officer- His was that of a Christian gentleman and a true type of a Southern soldier- The State Guard mourns his loss and with his family in this sad hour of their bereavement At o'clock next morning we were all at the depot anxious to see the home bound train which took us from the city about and bore us home ward amid de- parting cheers and waving hand kerchiefs from numbers of the pretty sparkling eyed maidens with whom that city so abounds. Now in conclusion, those who like Judge Furches in his speech here last fall, think the State Guard appropriation should be stopped and every company dis- banded, ought to hide their faces in shame- The ordering of the State Guard on this occasion was not a question of love of home, family or country patriot- ism, heroism or the glory and honor of war, but simply a of duty in which there was very little pay. Long live the State Guard and may that party remain in power that will give us an appropriation that will justify a larger, better and more power- one of which our State can feel proud. of cultivating that we do, it is thus explained how they make money farming. Now it must be remembered, however, that they have the advantage of a market, where they sell their stuff without having freight and brokerage to pay. We would not suggest that the South go into track farming. This idea is only mentioned to show the application that be made with the crops that we are now growing. Say for in- stance that A, who has been planting twenty acres in tobacco and sixty in cotton, reduces his acreage on both crops and plant just half and uses the same amount of fertilizer on it that he has been using on double the acreage. The result is obvious. He cultivates this land with just half the expense and uses just half the horses, and reaps fully two thirds as much as if he had double the acreage the first year, and in a while he can reap just as much on half the land as he formerly has on the full number of acres Meanwhile this other land has been resting or planted in grain and is ready for the next year. Farmers who are just g the cultivation of tobacco had better watch carefully and the ground early and when the plants first to grow. In fact it is a crop that under skillful management can be rapidly pushed to maturity. If the ground is not worked around the plants when they first begin to take root it will button too soon and thus amount to while if the ground is stirred deep and continuously it prevents this It is generally considered by the best tobacco farmers that deep and thorough cultivation is the best means of forwarding a crop. A cotton king, while it is a failure in cotton, is the best to go to a young crop of tobacco with, because you can get up right close to the plant, by taking off the right wing and there is no danger of covering up or breaking loose the roots of the plant. Intensive cultivation both in fertilizing and cultivating is an idea that our southern farmers are slow in taking hold of, never- it is a progressive and philosophic one.
