through education. In North

in one generation it has
a supply of teachers and
preachers, and it is now rapidly
educating its own lawyers and
The mass of the race,
however, is less zealous for

ten years ago ; and the attend-
on public school is
ally decreasing. The has
learned that education is not es-
to freedom nor has it aid-
ed him materially as much as he
expected. Tho finer and remoter
influences of education do not
appeal to him as to the white
race. It is possible that his zeal
for education will diminish as
rapidly in the next generation as
it sprang up in this. The dull
edge of his intellect has been
easily sharpened on the school-
master's grind-stone, but the
quality of the has not been
changed, and the edge may
turned or blunted as quickly as it
was formed.
The moral progress of the race
is very discouraging. Both the
average white man and the aver-
age over forty years old in
the South will tell you that the
younger generation of
are worse morally than they were
in slavery. This is not true of all.
There is gradually forming among
them a highest class who respect
themselves, and who honestly de-
sire to elevate their race. This
class includes the best educated
of the younger generation and
the most thrifty and industrious
of the older generation. This
class, however, is small, not ex-
five per cent, of the pop-
and its moral influence on
the mass of the amounts
to very little. The great mass of
the race is probably in the same
moral status as during slavery.
The restraints of slavery have
been removed, and passions
repressed by fear are not yet
controlled by character. The
younger generation of men are
as a rule no more industrious and
reliable than the older, while tho
women are generally quite as
lewd.

the is more criminal
in the Northern States, where he
has long enjoyed freedom than in
the Southern States, where he
is still greatly restrained by fear
of the white race. The moral
status of the race is about this
the best class, being not under
ten per cent, has made decided
retrogression ; the great mass is
in the same condition as during
slavery.
The material condition of the
race is similar to the moral- The
great mass is essentially in the
same condition as before. Those
who had bad masters are
better off; those who had
good masters are possibly worse
off. The highest class is very
much improved, and enjoys all
tho comforts of life in a great do-
The lowest class is much
worse It includes not only
the vicious and the idle, but also
the weak minded, the afflicted,
the uncared for young, and the
old. Under slavery these were
all cared for by tho master, and
shared equally in the common
earnings. Now they are driven
to the wall by competition, not
only with the whites, but also
with the strong of their own race.
The result is a degree of suffering
and a death rate unknown to
slavery. The rate of mortality in
this class will explain the large
relative decrease of the
population in the South from 1880
to 1890.
Tho between the two

There is a chasm between
them that seems to be growing

It is giving him this help to-day,

The himself is recognizing
this fact, and leaders in the
South, of intelligence, character

white leaders in their views of
what is for the development
of their race. There is abundant
room for Northern philanthropy,

must be accomplished by their

Southern white men, who

President Cleveland has
pointed Charles W. Dayton, post-
master at New York. Dayton is
a well-known lawyer and is prom-
in politics. He was not an
applicant for the and
was much surprised at his appoint-

However much some may be
disposed to complain of the speed
with which President Cleveland
is making appointments real-
such complaint is
there is no occasion to doubt the
wisdom of his selections in those
he has named to hold responsible
positions- The latest for
North Carolina was the appoint-
last week of Col- Wm. H- S-

National Bank Examiner, his

He has hart large experience with
banks and has a thorough
edge of banking, and besides is a

One of the most distressing ac-
that has happened in the
United States for years occurred
in Washington last Friday. The
old Ford there was
chased by the Government after
the assassination of President
Lincoln in it- For years it has

as one of the Pension

about o'clock a crash was

the building had collapsed- The
third floor went down first carry-
the second with it. There
were in the building at the time
something over five hundred per-
sons. Twenty-two were killed
and more than fifty injured. The
news soon spread through the
city and hundreds rushed to the

more heart-rending scenes. Moth

JOHNSON'S MILLS ITEMS.
Hon. G. B- King delivered an
admirable address at the close of
Miss school yesterday.
It is the opinion of many down
here that he is the silver-tongued
orator of Pitt county-
Misses Taylor of Kinston,
Jennie Gray Hodges of Washing-
ton, Sallie Dixon and Clara Fields
of LaG range, are visiting
and friends in this vicinity.
The crops are all fine in this
section except the potato crop
which is cut off at least one-third
from last year. The good prices,
however, cause broad smiles
upon the faces of our potato
growers-

All that might be said praise of the

said with equal justness of the Second.
In fact this was all that
could be wished for and the audience
did not withhold Its expressions of de-
light. The recitations by Misses Bettie
Tyson, Aylmer Sugg and Mary
were faultless and reflected honor upon
both themselves and teacher. And
the boys in their recitations were tight
to the front, dividing honors with the
girls every time. The musical selections
were pleasing, the songs being well
rendered. The musical comedy by
Peak a surprise beyond
the expectation of the audience and was
received with genuine relish. While

to introduce the speaker, came forward
and in a few rounded sentences led the
audience into a retrospective view of

years ago. Said he, quarter of a

my life on that occasion, while some

His description of the
life and disadvantages of Charles

were especially striking, because they
had made life a success in the face of
disadvantages under which the

Greenville is to have a handsome bank
building at an early day. Messrs.
Tyson Rawls have purchased from
Mr. Alfred Forbes feet front of t he
vacant space lying to the north of his
store. The order for material to con-
the building has been placed and

is delivered. The price paid for the lot
was or per front foot,

worth something.

Greenville's best and most
young men were to
be shaved. Mr. J. G. intro
the prize house question
and asked each one of the
it they wouldn't help build some.
Mr- said a good
investment and if he had the
money to out of his
he would surely build one
himself. To Mr- Brown,
W. B. and Mr. Sugg said, me too.
They all agreed that the tobacco
market was bringing them lots of
trade from sections of the
try from which they had never
drawn trade before and which if
it were not for the tobacco
would go to Snow Hill, Kin-
Wilson and elsewhere where
they could not control it but said
that they couldn't spare the
money out of their business to
build the houses for the
tobacco. These young men rep-
resent some of the largest
interests that we have and
this writer is persuaded that if
they could be shown conclusively
that it is to their interest
it evidently and for the up-
building of the town that they
would soon find money enough
to spare out of their business to
build as many houses as are
needed.
and
A LOOK AHEAD
Few men in North Carolina
more energy and thorough
going earnestness than our towns-
man ex-sheriff Allen Warren. A
few evenings ago, ho took us
through his nursery and it is
astonishing, a man of his
years should remember accurate-
and be able to name and call
by their technical term every one
of the many hundred thousand
different plants that he has grow-
in Riverside. After delight-
us for some considerable
time in strolling through tho
many curvilinear walks strewn
alongside with flowers of
gated colors made our way
down the hillside to the R. R.
bridge, there in the quiet
shade of the rustic trees near by
where the peaceful waters of the
Tar glide laughingly along down
to their mother's bosom, Sheriff
Warren showed his mind to be
fully as active in conversation as
in horticulture- We listened
while be talked upon different
topics he is a well informed
man on and as a number
of women and were seen
not far busily engaged fishing,
they seemed to afford a theme for
a change in the conversation.
The Sheriff said if the people of
Greenville who have their lives
and hopes and prospect before
them would offer some induce-
for foreign capitol to come
here and establish factories of
different kinds, ping and
that
who to-day have no visible
means of support would be em-
ployed and a great deal of the
mischief that idle brains and
hands conceive
would be avoided. These people
given work and the dizzy rattle of
city life would soon be humming
its busy buzz through every
interest of Greenville, giving
new life and new energy to every-
thing Said he, have you been in
Winston recently and did you
see a single idle man on her
streets I We told him that we i of this
had not been in Winston in three
years. Well, he said, I was there
not very long ago and visited P.
H. Haynes plug factory, which
was recently burned. He said
Mr Haynes was exceedingly kind
answering ail his questions and
showing him every department of
his business. Mr. Haynes worked
over hands in his factory de-
and gives them all com-
living wages. Some of
his hands he employed by con-
tract while others he employed
regularly by the month. The old
gentleman then went on to show
the necessity of factories of this
kind here in Greenville where we
have at last idle ones, the ma-
of whom would be glad to
get work of that kind to do. He
says why, surely, we have men
here with as good business
as other towns in our
State that are not half as old as
Greenville in fact have made
their towns and their fortunes
within the last fifteen years while
Greenville stands a century old
and until recently has not
proved much by age. Think, said
he, of the fact that in North Caro
there are over one thousand
factories of different kinds and not
a single active one in Greenville.
After dwelling extensively on
those points he said, Mr. Joyner,
if you live to be as old as I am
you will see all these things in
Greenville, I shall never. Our
natural advantages, climatic con-
our deep and fertile soils
with long summer seasons in
which all vegetable mutter has
ample time for development,
offers inducements and
which if our people don't
take advantage of and improve
others will. Th busy hand of
industry and research is feeling
for undeveloped resources and
already its quickening touch has
increased the business pulse of
the town. We asked why he did
not expect to live to see these
himself. Oh, well, he said, the
older heads who have made their
money in other ways are not ex-
to take hold and build
new enterprises- reminded
him that each generation of
actors on the stage of life were
supposed to leave the world in a
more advanced stage of
than they found it and each
succeeding generation better
pared to advance the cause of
civilization and progress. That
if each generation lived only for
their own personal considerations
and not to progress from whence
their fathers left them that in-
stead of steam and electricity and
tens of thousands of other things
that the march of progress and
Christian civilization have brought
to light America be a bleak
and desolate wilderness with the
wild and wandering savage roam
over her vast and fertile
plains and the of man
as we know his ancient historic
man would be like their fore-
fathers of the valleys of the Nile
and Tigris wandering nomads
or even worse combats because
naturally he would have retro-
graded if ho had not advanced.
To these things the Sheriff agreed
but said that the young men were
the ones on whom depended the
responsibility of introducing new
industries. There was a rumbling
and a whistle in the distance and
as we looked up saw the mail
train coming lunging along, and
as our homes lay in different

execute asking us to secure a place
for them to cure during the fall

doing. The class of people to

The Basis of Good Coffee

community. Pitt county will
hardly be troubled with this class
of curses anymore. The farmers
here are beginning to learn too
much about it themselves.
Greene, Lenoir and Craven, are
the fields in which they will do
much of their work because these
counties are just beginning to
learn tobacco. Numbers and
numbers of farmers told us at the
warehouse last fall that their to-
had been ruined by the
curer. The facts of the case are
that the didn't know as
much about tobacco as his em-
and had simply come down
here because no one would have
him where he came from. Farm-
can generally tell whether
their curers know anything about
tobacco or not. If they cure by
receipt it is conclusive evidence
that they don't know much about
it There is a great deal of fraud
practiced in grading tobacco.
We have got to keep our eyes
open and see that the tobacco is

FRAUDULENT CURERS.
It is only a short while now be-
fore eastern planters will begin
curing primings and as the curing
season comes on we feel it our
duty to expose the frauds that
have been put off on a number of
our farmers here in Pitt county
by would be from
the upper counties. While it is
exceedingly distasteful to use
language that will prevent anyone
from getting a position to cure,
yet these, mole practices have
been carried to their fullest ex-
tent in Pitt county during the
last eight years and it is now
high time that they were stopped.
We want to be thoroughly under-
stood on this subject and no
means Would we have any one
think that all of those who come
here looking for work are frauds,
for of good honest men
have come to this county who
thoroughly understood the pro-
of curing, and at present
It seems to us, though are
young and limited in experience,
that the farming profession could
be raised to a higher plain of pro-
fit and success by an exchanging
of ideas as to the methods em-
ployed carrying on agriculture.
Those who have made the best
success in this profession are
those who are constantly
with ideas.
When we see a man making a
success of anything in which
others have failed, the natural
inquiry is how did he manage -it.
In this one word management lies
the secret of per cent of south-
failures. Bad management
and not the lack of resource is
the direct cause of so many
wrecks. So it is this that
of the direct causes of the
low ebb to which the farming
has fallen. George
Washington said that agriculture
was the highest, most healthful
and noble calling of man. It is
not any the less so to-day than
when it fell from the f
America's greatest statesman and
only deserves the careful and
systematic judgment that has
crowned other professions with
success to raise this most
able of all others to an equal
footing with them. And as above
stated we are fully convinced that
if the farmers would investigate
the plan pursued by our success-
agriculturist greater profits
would be realized when their
crops were marketed, hence our
object in visiting each section
and examining their methods of
farming in tobacco in particular
and other crops in general.
Eastern North Carolina the
garden spot of the State and it is
our object to aid as far as we can
in making it the of the

bright tobacco. Only a short
time ago a tobacco man from
Virginia was in Greenville for a
The Kitchen Sink.
When you have any trouble in
securing perfect cleanliness about
the kitchen sink and drain pipe,
have a little concentrated lye
sprinkled over the strainer every
night. Some of it, of course, u
washed into the pipe, and there
unites with the grease and forms
strong soft soap. As soon as there
is boiling water in the morning,
pour a gallon of it down the pipe.
This will cleanse it thoroughly.
Celery After the Coffee.
Short, crisp bits of celery are

A Canary Captured by a Spider.
The strength of some of the
spiders which build their webs in
trees and other places in and
around Santa Ana, Central
America, is astonishing. One of
them had in captivity in a tree
there not long ago a wild canary.
The ends of the wings, the tail,
and teat of the bird were bound
together by some sticky substance,
to which were attached the
threads of the spider, which was
slowly but surely drawing the
bird by an ingenious pulley
The bird hung head
downward and was so securely
bound with little threads that it
could not struggle, and would have
Electricity as a Purifier.
Electricity seems to be coming
prominently to the front for use
purification processes. It has been
successfully introduced in France
and England for purifying sewage,
and if worked with a refuse
tor, in which tho heat can be used
for generating the current, it is
thought it will be found not only
more satisfactory, but more
than existing methods.
In Germany an electrolytic process
for purifying mercury for use in
very accurate work is coming
into general use. A new
of bleaching starch by
is also reported, by
which, it is said, second and lower
qualities of the product can be
treated so that they
can compare favorably with the first
quality. Methods of manufacturing
ozone by electrical action are also well
known. In fact, it seems as if tho
electric current were destined to
play a very important part in the
sanitary engineering of the future.
About Allspice.
Island of Jamaica produces
about all the allspice that is used.
It is known also as pimento or
Jamaica pepper. The tree on
which the berries grow is ever-
green, and the flowers grow in
dense clusters ; these develop into
small, green aromatic berries the
size of black pepper. If allowed
to ripen they become pulpy and
loose some of their pungency. For
commercial purposes, the berries
are gathered when green, carefully
dried in the sun and afterwards
packed in bags holding to to
pounds and shipped. Pimento
trees grow in many parts of
cal America, but nowhere do they
thrive as in Jamaica. The trees
are never planted by man and re-
no cultivation worthy of th
name. The seeds are dropped by
the birds, And the rains and tho
tropical sun do the rest. Surplus
trees are cut down and become
walking sticks and umbrella
This spice is more mild and
innocent than most other spices.
