She was a country school-teacher; where the sincerest, noblest work is done; where they verify that longing to be to where wild birds sing at schoolhouse door, and the scent of wild flowers sweetens toil. She was not young or handsome, but something to-day had glossed her hair, and above her closed eyes had smoothed her broad, straight brow to perfect beauty. She had talked much, these quiet, fading days, of her school. She was a woman of such positive character that it was hard for her to give up a duty or a habit. Even now she did not easily let slip earth memories. The teacher was a religious woman, one and grounded in the one who was conscious of be- in tho Lord and tho power of His one who taught as she believed and lived as she taught.

The was surprised, chagrined, pointed, undecided, but only evil as the weeks went on. The invalid groaned wearily. Strangely enough, she could not cease these sad contemplations; those months of anxiety stood out so boldly, those days of heart-break- weariness, those hours of nerve- destroying crises, all for one grateful, despicable, Satanic spirit.

From his we should say the selection is well placed. Our this week is entertaining Eulalie, of Spain, who arrived last week and will spend two months America. She is reported as ranch at her reception and the attention this is paying her. Next week the long looked for removal of Hon. son remains- will transpire, and Richmond will receive back into her keeping the body of him who once sat within her walls the Chieftain of the Confederacy. It will a great which every Southerner is inter- North Carolina will do full honor to our dead hero as his body passes through State.

If the following conversation is true which is said to have occur- red between President Cleveland and Senator Vance, it is more than probable that we will not have an extra session of Congress before October. what is your opinion about the time of calling the extra session President, if you call us together in September, just after the dog days, will hot and lazy and won't do anything, you will cuss don't do anything, will cuss you expect us to do some- thing can't, so I think is the best agree with you ob- served the President- The Postmaster General seems to have one stereotyped to butt up against every request for the removal of a postmaster and the of a Democrat, lie leans back and haughtily says are your charges against Senator Test a few days ago put in the neatest little reply to this now famous interrogation that we have seen, if Mr. has as much brain as his size would indicate ho could not have failed to have seen the force of Mr. Vests retort. The Senator had applied to have a certain postmaster removed and was met with this same stereotyped Whereupon Mr- Vest re- plied were the charges against Mr- Wanamaker Did you have to prefer charges against him before you got your place Good for tho Senator- 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.

Much more or less silly talk has been indulged in this week about the probability of a war with China because of the Supreme Court having declared the Geary law constitutional. Needless to say neither tho President nor Secretary Gresham tho re- idea that there will be any serious with China. Tho Chinese minister told Secretary Gresham that his government would not take any retaliatory stops, and that it would, as far as possible, protect Americans in China from any attack which the ignorant natives might dis- posed to upon them. The law will be enforced by the administration to as great an ex- tent as possible with the means at i its command, but the lack of I wish they had come and beard Andrew Joyner and Joe smash that conspiracy Into smithereens. The objection made lion of the court was by Mr. Abram who ridiculed the idea of of the Peace having sense enough or dignity enough to preside over a court, ind the year of jubilee there was a bill In the Legislature giving Pitt county rive of Superior Court. It was stated by some one that Senator James said that if the majority it he would pass a supplementary bill making the terms of the Superior Court conform to their The Justices did make such a request Senator James and for some re; -ons known to any one save the Se- and probably a distinguished ; states- man who fixed the courts just as he wanted them and whose will was law, no change of courts was Senator's promise to the contrary not- withstanding. What has been by Mr. jubilee courts. Nothing worse than nothing. Four weeks away in March and April and the civil docket untouched hardly, except a multitude of railroad cases were got off, which were brought with the of a compromise. If the desire real- is to try the civil docket why in the name of right and law and economy and justice don't they let us alone We will give them a County Criminal Court which will convict and punish criminals, which will relieve the Superior Court docket and do it with half the expense in the time.

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 to I ho Legislature must 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. Conducted by O. L. JOYNER, Proprietor Eastern Tobacco Warehouse. 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. The stacks of leaf tobacco on hand in the markets of the United State. May and May are as follows. Western markets May 55.412, May hogsheads. Seaboard markets M May 37,250- Stock in United States May hogsheads May showing hogsheads more in the markets May than May Just too late for last week's issue came the news of a cyclone which struck Oxford, N- C on May 3- It the large Minor warehouse blowing out both ends and blew down near by. The three story prize house of Mr. W. J. Boykin was completely wrecked and it is almost miraculous that some men who were it at the time escaped with only a few bruises. Several other tobacco prize houses were and one three story factory. A few lives were lost and great many injured- NORTH CAROLINA INDUSTRIES. HOW TO DESTROY CUT WORMS.

But why need we pate the insolvency of the Amer- Tobacco Company whose almost countless millions that have b en filched out of the pockets of the hard working farmers of North Carolina and Virginia lie hoarded in the vaults of their treasury to back them in their infamous Why need we a single insignificant tobacco ware- house man register our thoughts against the power of this great company that has nude more money of the farmers of North than c cent of them will ever see We re told by the Psalmist that the wrecked like a green bay tree but their prosperity is of short duration. 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 of casts his wistful penetrating eye across the field over which he once exercised complete control he recognizes in the National Tobacco Company his successful who with the assistance of the honest element of the tobacco is made rapidly shrewdly scheme into the gloomy of eternal oblivion- 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. Roxboro Courier. 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 emulsion Add to this two gallons of water.

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.

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.

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.
