She was not young or handsome,

A certain correspondent from
this town, to some of the State
papers is exerting himself con-
to ventilate his own
dislikes for President Cleveland.
We noticed recently in two
papers budgets of Greenville news,
each written evidently by the same
person, and the writer tries to
convey the impression abroad
that tho President has about lost
all his friends and admirers here
in Greenville and surrounding
county. news oven to the
people of fear
in such assertions the
correspondent is too easily
tied with his own eccentric views,
and perhaps allows his own
to control him rather
than actual facts. We suppose
his latest ebullition received
from the Fayetteville post-
office affair, but if he will contain
himself with patience for a little
while he will find out that Mr-
Cleveland is a true friend to the
and will do the proper thing
in this particular case. If did
not happen to know the Green-
ville- correspondent we might be
led to think he was an apt student
in the Third party training school,
far him husky song far as it
goes resembles the stale
ties sent out regularly by Mary
Ann Butler Company. We re-

of the true policy and pat
purposes of Grover Cleve-

HOW DID IT HAPPEN.
Ya- May 12th
Eastern
Greenville and Pitt
can hardly realize my
surprise when I saw that the
County Commissioners of Pitt
county had granted license for
two bar rooms Ayden. I knew
that the incorporation of Antioch
Baptist church protected tho
from such a curse for a dis-
of three miles. I knew also
this included the Tillage of Ayden.
Now how does this change come
Well I can solve it in but one
way. The Senator
all, must have gotten
an act through the last Legislature
exempting Ayden from the in-
of said incorporation.
I saw that a bill to revise the
act incorporating Ayden was be-
fore the Senate. So this was
what was up I suppose.
I do not want to do any one an
injustice. Think of what such an
act means- Some twenty or more
years ago one John C. Cox bought
laud near what i; now Antioch
church. I am told it was at that
time one of the most neglected
most backward sections in
Pitt county. Ho has now develop-
ed it into one cf the best sections
in Pitt or other county. He
has around him such men as his
son Amos Cox and Joshua Car-
roll and others.
One feature of the high tone
of that neighborhood is that they
have had no selling of whiskey.
And to secure such an influence
two years previous to the last
Legislature tho Church which is
tho center of this good section of
the county was pro-
the sale of liquor for
three miles. This included Ayden
So on that side of the Swamp the
good work of the other side was
to go on. But no. the members

the good work of such men as
John C Cox, Amos Cox, Joshua
Carroll and this what
they were elected for I voted
for them, but not to pull down a
section with bar rooms where I
had preached for two years to
build up. Rut they or he may
say I was petitioned for such an
act. If so it was not by those who
are the power of that section.
Why Amos Cox and others labor
so hard to build up churches
at Ayden and around to be checked
in their good work by whiskey
shops
If such is to the work of the
Legislature for Pitt it were
well if Pitt could have a pen-
of legislation for at least
fifty years.

TOBACCO DEPARTMENT.

LOCAL NOTES AND TOBACCO
JOTTINGS.
Most of the farmers are through
setting out tobacco now and cut
worms seem to be having their
day.
In another column will be found
a valuable article to some of our
tobacco farmers who have been
troubled with cut worms and while
it is rather late for this season cut
it out for future reference.
A great deal of the news matter
of this department reaches the
after possibly it has been
published in other papers and it
may seem a little old by the time
it reaches the reader. The reason
of this is because the matter of
this department has to be printed
by Friday and hence all news is
excluded until the following
week.
Mr. G. M. Tucker tells us that
he has seven acres of tobacco that
looks like a wheat field. It is so
preen. He says he has lots of it
that will measure more than ten
inches across. Push this tobacco,
Mr. Tucker, by constant plowing
and yon will thereby force develop-
weeks earlier and
prevent a great many plants from
buttoning.

itself a distinction of which, a few
years hence, some of the stock-

The bright day of the American
Tobacco Company has passed.
The burning rays of the golden
Ban which lighted their day of
prosperity has made many North
Carolina farmers bite the dust of
poverty and left them homeless,
bat it has reached its zenith and
is now passing behind the black
cloud of scorn of an oppressed
and outraged people. The voice
of the people through the press
as its medium and every branch
of business are raising
their voices in denunciation of
this most gigantic of modern
combinations and as Washington

The Messenger never wearies of
hunting data that concerns North
Carolina. It is always glad to
find facts, to encourage and to
illustrate, whether statistical,
historical, literary, religious or
educational. This writer has been
doing much of that kind of work
since the time when most the
present editors were in their
I cradles or in their bibs.
North Carolina is beyond doubt
the leading State for fine tobacco,
if it is robbed often of its best
product this line, and its golden
weed is other markets and
the credit of production given to
Virginia or some other State.
We have not been able to obtain
satisfactory statistics of the best
averages of tobacco in the
ties for two or three years. We
once gathered statistics and pub-
them and they aroused at-
up to the Lakes in New
York State. The prices have
ranged so low, or there was a want
of enterprise on the part of news-
in the midst of the tobacco
that the averages of best
crops have not been published
that we have seen-
From 1868 say to 1880, tobacco
crops in Granville county
ed very high among the best
farmers. We have often
them- In 1870 we could easily
have found farmers who averaged
to each hand worked or
or more to each acre in
We have known particular
farmers to exceed this very much.
One published at
the time in the Oxford
sold the crop of tobacco on a
one horse farm for These
farmers all raised their own sup-
plies. Are there any such sales
made now We think not. We
doubt if the half of this has been
done a decade. We have failed
to obtain any such stimulating
returns- But the same soil is
there.
There are chewing-tobacco
factories in this State, and about
fifty of them are located at Wins-
ton, the remainder being at
ville, Greensboro, Oxford,
son. Asheville and several smaller
towns. Winston pays nearly a
million dollars every year for
revenue stamps.
All the tobacco manufactured
at these factories, both smoking
and chewing, is grown in North
Carolina, and a good deal besides,
which is bought and shipped to
factories elsewhere- and it is the
finest grade of tobacco in the
world.
The weed is now grown in per-
haps forty counties. In some of
the Eastern particularly
in tobacco of fine texture
and body is grown. We would
like to see reliable statistics for
the last two years of the best to-
grown in the leading
average of crops, with
acres cultivated, hands worked,
and mules or horses used- The
Department ought to
carefully gather such statistics
and send them
ton Messenger.
The above clipping from the
Wilmington Messenger has in it a
great deal of truth but the writer
evidently, as he admits is not
posted on tobacco statistics of
recent years. Neither does he
seem to be up with the counties
that have made the largest
or rather the largest averages
made in any county and the crop
through for the past few years for
long long before Pitt county ever
had a warehouse of her own.
Pitt county tobacco proved to the
tobacco world its superior smooth
and silky texture by taking the
premium for high averages
ever premiums were offered.
Several farmers have realized
from three to four hundred
per acre every year since the
county first began the cultivation
of tobacco in 1886 and as bad a
crop year as lost year was numbers
of our farmers realized as high as
two hundred dollars per acre and
several were more. Edwards
realizing twelve hundred
dollars off of a fraction over three
acres.
We fully agree with what the
Messenger says in regard to get
ting reliable statistics for the best
tobaccos grown, where at, If
the Agricultural Department
would take this matter in charge
and circulate these reports
throughout the State. Pitt county
would take her one among
the first counties in the State for
the production of bright yellow
tobacco.
At the meeting of the Southern
Governors held at Richmond re-
Mr. Robinson, the Com
missioner of Agriculture of North
Carolina stated that our State was
making an experiment with the
convicts of the State. He says
that any county which desires to
do so can withdraw its convicts
from the penitentiary and pot
them at work on the county roads.
This has been done, notably in
Mecklenburg county, and four
miles out of Charlotte in all
the roads have been
by convict labor. So
well pleased is the county with
the result that the work is to be
continued. Other counties are
adopting the plan. Just as fast
as the road construction reaches
a farm, that farm immediately
in value. The effect is
so marked that there is developing
a very strong sentiment in favor
of this disposition of convict labor.
Commissioner Robinson believes
it will spread until the whole
convict force of North Carolina is
engaged in building county roods.

Three Hundred Species of
Remedies for Their Destruction.
Lancaster New Era.
We give a few facts about the
cat worms, which are found so
trouble some on tobacco fields in
the spring, especially when the
ground was not plowed in the fall.
Their ravages can be off
if proper care is given to the
task.
There are few pests
that are more exasperating in
their manner of doing damage
than the cut worm, who works in
the dark and hides when daylight
comes. There are upwards of
species, and they attack many
kinds of farm crops, but corn and
tobacco are their main points of
attack. They are all the young
of of medium sized, night-
flying moths. These moths de-
posit their eggs generally on the
twigs or branches of trees and
shrubs and the which soon
hatch from the eggs, descend to
the ground, where they feed upon
grass or clover. They become
about half grown by the time
winter sets in. Then they shelter
themselves under boards or rub-
or burrow into the soil.
Thus they pass the winter, and
in spring come out of their hiding
places in a very famished con-
They begin feeding as
as possible, and attack a
great variety of plants, such as
cabbage, tomatoes, turnips,
squashes, melons, corn, oats and
the tobacco plants.
The natural enemies of the cut
worms are various species of
parasitic and insects,
birds like the robin, blackbird,
catbird and poultry, and animals
like the skunk and mole.
Among artificial remedies we
preventative measures, a
handful of salt on the surface of
the plant hill, tobacco dust about
the stem of the plant paper, bur-
dock or walnut leaves wrapped
around the stem of the plant,
paper or tin tubes slit at one side
slipped over the stem, or dusting
dry powders like hellebore, air-
slacked lime, ashes and
about the and on the foliage
of plants.
Among destructive
we name early fall plowing, which
coves up the feed of the young
worms and leaves them to starve;
late fall and winter plowing which
exposes in their winter
quarters to perish, dipping plants
to be set in a solution of
pound to ten gallons of
or Paris green ounce to eight
gallons of digging out
worms by hand where plants have
been cut by them.
An effective method of saving
a crop their ravages is by
poisoning them before the plants
are set or a crop like corn comes
To do this, gross, clover
cabbage or turnip leaves are
dipped in Paris green water and
scattered in small over
the garden field. A stone or piece
of wood laid on it will keep the
poisoned trap from drying out
or blowing away. The
may be moistened and poisoned
plaster or flour dusted over it
Of course, poultry and animals
that will be injured by eating the
poisoned greens must be kept
out of the field-
Kerosene emulsion has been
ally tried at the Depart
of Agriculture, Washington,
D- C. for destroying root-eating
grubs in grass grounds, and would,
without doubt prove as effectual
in killing cut worms under similar
circumstances. The places affect
ed were thoroughly drenched with
an emulsion of kerosene in the
proportion of one to sixteen, and
the ground then well watered.
Where emulsion was used the
grubs immediately ceased their
depredations, penetrated farther
into the ground and not a live one
was afterward found. For this
emulsion dissolve a quarter pound
hard soap in two quarts boiling
water, add one pint of kerosene
and churn violently until the

SO HARD AS IT SEEMS.
A patent strikes most people as
an appallingly formidable thing.
The 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
before he can get a new
device to a patentable degree of
perfection. This delusion the
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 re-
, turns to their authors, bat the lit-
simple, and cheap ones the
things that seem so absurdly
vial that the average citizen would
feel somewhat ashamed of bring-
them to the attention of the
Patent Office.
I Edison says that the profits he
has received from the patents on
all his marvelous inventions have
; not been sufficient the cost
of his experiments. But the man
who conceived the idea of fasten-
a bit of rubber cord to a child's
i ball, so that it would come 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 the simple device of putting
the eye of the needle at the point
instead of at the other end.
THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST VAL-
Comparatively few people re-
themselves as inventors, but
almost everybody has been struck,
at one time or- another, with ideas
that seemed calculated to reduce
some of the little frictions of life.
Usually such ideas are dismissed
without further thought.

A TEMPTING OFFER.
To induce 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 tho simplest and most
invention, from a commercial
point of view, the company will
give twenty-five hundred dollars
in cash, in addition to refunding
the fees for securing the patent
It will also advertise the
free of charge.
This offer is subject to the fol-
lowing
Every competitor must obtain
a patent for his invention through
the company. He must first
ply for a preliminary search, the
cost of which will be five dollars.
Should this search show his in-

Otherwise he will be ex-
to complete his application
and take out a patent in the

to him. The prize will

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.
This is is a competition of rather
an nature- It is common
to offer prizes for the best story,
or picture, or architectural plan,
all the competitors risking the loss
of their labor and the successful
one merely selling his for the
amount of the prize. the
Press Claim Company's offer is
something entirely different Each
is asked merely to help
and the one who helps
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 The
whose competitive plan
for a house on a certain
is not accepted has spent his
labor on something of very little
use to him. But the person who
patents a simple and useful de-
vice in the Press Claims Company's
competition, need not if he
fail to secure the prize. He has
a substantial result to show for
his that will command
its value in the market at any
time-
The plain man who uses any
article in his daily work ought to
know better how to improve it
than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the
cal point of view. Get rid of the
idea that an improvement can be
too simple to be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. Tho per-
son who best succeeds in
simplicity and popularity, will
get the Press Claims
twenty-five hundred dollars.

may be judged from the fact
that its stock is held by about
hundred of the leading
