ONE DAY'S FISHING. a Moaning said the major, agreed to take the colonel fishing. the next afternoon, which was Saturday, he came around with a fishing rod that I gave him, and when I got into cab blame me it he didn't have trunk. my things in said ho, and may I eternally fry if there weren't things enough in that trunk to stock a pawnshop. By he had every- thing from evening clothes to a patent But ho hasn't them any and the major chuckled. started for Mud Run, out in Pennsylvania. I'd never been there before, but a man told me there was good fishing there. He was a liar, by the way. the time we got started the colonel wanted to smoke, and by the hind hobs of Gehenna if he hadn't packed all the cigars in that bloody trunk. When I cussed he tried to get up in the baggage car and was nearly killed. Then he got some bad cigars from the porter and growled for an hour steady. Pretty soon he wanted a drink and the was in that confounded trunk. woman at the hotel where we got out said it was too late to get anything to eat, and the colonel got mad and called me a chump for dragging him out into the wilderness. the boy waked us in the morning the colonel kicked he had to get up so early. He had the deuce of a time finding his things In that infernal trunk and he kicked because I got impatient. woman at the hotel looked queer when got down. says she. better look out for the constable. It's against the law to fish round here the colonel got suspicious, and said he didn't want to be locked up. I got him into the wagon and the driver look out for the constable. It's against the law to fish round here says the colonel. not going to get locked up and bring eternal disgrace upon my I choked him off finally, and we started. Then we met a farmer and he that we'd get in trouble if we fished on Sunday. The driver grinned and the colonel, like the eternal galoot he is, told you It took me about ten minutes to choke him off, but he growled all the way to the stream. continued the major, you ever see the colonel catch trout No Well, neither did anybody else. He couldn't catch a trout In a week of leap years. By it was a sight to see him whip the stream. It was like driving balky mules over a broken bridge. He banged that river until half the fish in it were scared to death, and I guess he thought he could catch trout by knocking them stone dead with his rod. He lost about two dozen trying to cast half the length of his rod and then he got his line all tangled up in the bushes. Did you ever hear the colonel swear Well, hod carriers and river pirates aren't in it with the colonel. Talk about breaking the Sabbath. Why, the colonel swore enough to send an army to for eternity. the colonel was cussing everything in sight the driver came tearing down the road, waving his hands like a windmill in full sail. he yelled, constable's coming, and he's after you, too. better get. Cut up through the woods there, and I'll meet you at the turn of the didn't know where the turn-I of the pike was, but the colonel grabbed inc by the arm and hustled up into the woods. When we got under cover he was steaming like a soap factory, and cussing me, too. in the name of thunder did you ever bring me out here for You want to get me arrested, do was that speechless that I couldn't answer.

But that was a mercy. was getting along toward dark when we got to the hotel. The colonel was prancing up to the front door when the man who drove the team came out of the barn. says he, constable's waiting for you fellows. He's over to the I and the colonel didn't run. We just lit out and hung around in the brush until it was dark. Then we crawled back to the hotel, but the constable was sitting there. the colonel tried to make a bolt to the woods and tho constable saw him. With a whole pack in full cry after us, the colonel and I ran down the bill. I guess we the constable and his crew. But after awhile they came after us with lanterns and we had to run again. Up in tho heavy brush they lost us, and when got our wind we struck out for the railroad. nearest station was ten j miles off, and the colonel was nearly dead before we got half way there. He sat down on a tie swore that he was dying. Ho was wet through and about the roost man that cussed a streak of hard luck. got so bad that I got I some chips and started a fire by the railroad track. He lay down beside it and began to get dry. He was just beginning to grunt when there . was a roar down the road and i the train came puffing round the I curve. first thing the engineer saw, ; I guess, was our lire, and then you I should have heard the racket. He just turned all his steam into his old whistle and tooted like a fiend possessed. The train came to a standstill by our lire, and then the conductor came racing up, swearing awfully. I. got out. The colonel ex- postulated, but they were so mad that they were going to thrash him. I got on the platform of tho last car, and blow me if they would let tho colonel get on. He prayed and pleaded, but the conductor said no, and the train started, with the doing more cussing. the last car was abreast, however, the colonel grabbed the hand bar and hung on for his life. He took steps four yards long and when the train got going he just sailed out behind. I yanked and pulled till I got him aboard. My I thought he was going to die. But he didn't. After awhile he began swearing again, and then I felt re- we had gone about ten miles we got up in the car. The colonel went first, but he hadn't taken two steps when he fell back with a gasp. the says I. says he. in that sure enough, he was. Then we went out on the step and sat in the cold. The colonel shivered till he rocked the car and he more than lit into me. Say, I've been sworn at in fifteen different languages, but the way the colonel sailed into mo was art. I sat there and groaned and for about twenty miles the train left a streak of blue behind. rode on the tail of that car for fifty miles and the colonel swore all the way. Every time we came to a station we got off and hid. And after every station the colonel was worse than ever. it got so bad that I got desperate and went into the car. The constable was gone. I asked a red-nosed man in the back scat where the constable was, and he told me that the constable had left the train an hour before. And there we two blooming chumps sat on that platform all that time. let the colonel sit there far about an hour more before I went out and told him. And then you should have heard him curse. It was awful, and I had to leave him. I haven't seen him Just then a limp figure came slouching around the corner. When it saw the major, there was a start of surprise. It made a vain attempt to escape discovery. The major saw, and with a dash he secured the cringing form. It was the colonel. said the major, bygones be said the colonel. take a And they Y. World.

The ex- THE of the Overman Wheel Com- of Falls, Mass., is the most attractive and artistic in this department, combining as it does simplicity, taste and solid worth. Its is a structure in the style of the Italian Renaissance, the pillars and fittings being a rich, solid mahogany, adorned on capital, cornice and frieze with a chaste design in gold.

The Overman Company, with New England honesty that is the acme of business foresight, bits the same machine here that it offers for sale everywhere. machine must sell upon its sic merits, upon its strength and durability, upon its latest super- to other wheels, and not upon an special additions that a Fair exhibit may show. The Overman Company makes only a high grade bicycle, the and the and as it is the only company in the country that makes every detail that enters into the within its own factory, it can its work as being the very best that American skill, knowledge, and ingenuity have so far pro- Its wheels are made fur work and not for exhibition ; they are designed to give speed, pleas- and comfort to the men and women who ride them, and not for the professional expert who rides fur records for gain. Hence, the Overman Company's wheels are acknowledged to be the best as they are the priced in the market; and it is an old saying, and a true one, that the best is always the cheap- est. This concern devotes all its money and attention to the con- improvement of its product; and while others are spending money on making records and hiring professional racers, they are putting their cash into the best product and hiring the most skillful hands and heads in the mechanical world. The pneumatic tire is essential to all wheels to day the tire that is most durable, most pensively and most readily re paired is the one the rider desires to have The Overman Company's pneumatic tire is a two inch vulcanized tire, made two parts The outer covering, reinforced by canvass, resists pressure and is unharmed by punctures; the inner tube is pure rubber inflated with air.

Its ivory and white saddle and tool bag made this no more serviceable than its more modest looking brother. Here is the a machine weighing only nineteen pounds, with its high built diamond frame and its low saddle post that is built for those who love racing and speed. It bears the same re to tho reliable, serviceable road wheel that tho thorough- bred does to tho steady roadster ; it is faster, but it is not more durable than the superb that weighs per- haps ten pounds more. In the next the gallery edge we are shown the integral parts of the machine in all their many processes of man from the crude metal to the highly polished, nickel plated completed article Here see the steel, back wheel hub in its twenty-three processes ; the front wheel spokes the rims, the saddles and posts and every detail down even to the monkey-wrench the company turns out. there is the India rubber from the rude ham made in primeval forests of the Up- per Amazon and marketed in Para, to the smooth, vulcanized pneumatic tire. While one is convinced of the supreme excellence of the wheels, he is also impressed with the honesty of the work and the sober earnestness of the makers, to rely good work and results for public approval, rather than upon things that are outside of the true merits of the wheel. A man knows that he is getting the best of its kind from this sterling New com- and leaves resolved to buy none but the wheel, when he goes in for a machine- It is interesting to watch the as they stop and examine every detail critically and admiring on it It does not take them long to recognize and applaud its merits. The wheels are made in differ- models for different classes of work. For instance, the is designed for a light, speedy, road wheel and for track work, and ought to be a favorite in Chicago with its splendid high ways. The is a road wheel for nil-round work and is fitted with every required detail. THE The is a handsome bi- cycle of the model, fitted with certain necessary adjuncts. designed for the use of and is a nice piece of work- We can commend this handsome exhibit to all visitors to the World's Fair. It is the largest bicycle exhibit made by any concern that has a display at the Fair. THE SOLD DRAIN. It may be, and doubtless is, true that the Sherman act is partly re- for the heavy drain of gold from this country, but there are two other causes which operated more than that, very much more, for one of which the Republican party is directly responsible. The other is charge- able to fashion, the fashion which every summer draws a hundred thousand Americans to Europe to spend their money there instead of their own Under the operation of the high protective tariff, which was devised ostensibly for the of encouraging and foster- American industries, our ex- port business has become so con- that it is only in the year which there is an nary demand for American food stuffs that our merchants are not debtors to the European nations they buy from. If it were not for the high tariff there would be a greater demand for our farm pro- ducts, for they could be paid for European products for which there a demand and a market this country, but with the high tariff this kind of barter is impossible, and the is the trading is done a cash basis. Europe uses very few of the articles manufactured in this country, while we, tho protective tariff which was intended to prohibitory, use an enormous amount of manufactured abroad, an amount usually aggregating more by millions than the value of the products we sell abroad. This year it nets about As this difference cannot be liquidated in trade it must he liquidated in money, in tho money which tho European tors demand, which is gold. When tie comes for pay- the American importers, if they have not tho gold, have to hump themselves to get it, and have sometimes to pay a um on it to get it. This was one of tho reasons for the big and pressing draws on the U- S- Treasury a couple months ago, and one of the causes, too, which precipitated tho monetary I trouble from which the country is now suffering by forcing tho Sec- i rotary to cross the imaginary danger line and invade the ten- but foolishly nursed so call- ed gold reserve. As long as we buy more than we sell, import more than we ex- port, the balance of trade will be against us, we will be in debt to other nations, and will have to pay that debt in tho kind of I money When we sell j more than we buy, export more ; than we import, then the case is reversed and the gold comes this j way, as it is doing now, since we have begun to make large ship- of grain and hay. Some of i that same gold that was squeezed out of the U- S- Treasury a low weeks ago for shipment to pay debts is now coming back, to make another trip across again next year, unless the tariff I be so modified as to encourage trade with Europe, encourage exports, and keep our gold at home. now tho statistics of the exports imports the i high tariff era began, but they would show that in the meantime we have paid enormous amount of gold to make up the difference between our imp and exports. While this has going on there has been an annual and an annually flow of American tourists to Europe, who now number about who spend the summer lounging European capitals, or as they call it, and who spend the aggregate about every dollar of which stays over there, and all they have to show for it is some time worse than j wasted for most of them, and some clothes which ought to have been made by our own tailors and I dress-makers, which are bought over there because most of them. except the dresses, are bought I cheaper than could be bought in this country, and are I yanked in without paying duty. Considering the amount of gold that goes out of this country an- from these two causes, and which has going out in greater or loss amounts for thirty years, it is not surprising that the stock of gold should be small with us and that when there is any- thing above an ordinary demand for it, there must be hustling to get it. A great deal, the greater part of our embarrassment and troubles, is the result of our own bungling legislation and our slavish following of what has be- come a fashion, which annually sends an army of to who see little, learn less, the large majority of whom could spend their time much more beneficially and profitably seeing and becoming acquainted with their own country, which is more a to many of them, than the lands the other side of the Star.

We hive had some of them to toll us their boys would slip off with- out their knowledge. One of- fence of that kind would be all a boy, who has tho right kind of a parent, would wish to commit. Leather straps, cow- hides or shingles could soon cine a boy thus inclined if properly applied. It has been said that children, when young step on our toes but when older step on our hearts. A great deal of the latter stepping could be avoided if tho subject were taken hand in time. When a young tree is planted, however crooked it may be, it can be straightened by proper care, but let it grow for a few years and then try to straighten it and you will fail. Tho boy tho tree in this particular. Most boys need frequent to keep them the path of the upright. Lot every parent, who has boys, try to instill them a high sense of honor. This can be done, but it both time and patience to accomplish the work. The world is getting too busy to find time for boy culture. There are parents, we mean fathers, who seldom ever see their children awake. They go from business late at night, and leave for the same early in tho morning. The children grow to manhood with- out any special training by tho fathers. Mothers cannot do all the work. All business men could do just as much business as they now do spend a of their time with their families if they would unite upon a plan.

It is no rare occurrence to hear the tobacco habit, many other vices boldly at- tacked, but the who dead a newspaper, creates bills at liveries and forgets to settle the same, runs store ac- counts with no in tent ion of pay- except where he intends to gouge them deeper, rows from each new that he can possibly get in with, is no better than tho thief who would break in and rob a bank under tho cover of night. If there is any difference the gentleman thief is tho meaner of the two. How these wretches can in some instances be received into good society when it is publicly known that they have not their contemptible practice is more than understand. Good society, if it wishes to re- its exalted position, must frown it down. It is not only the most but tho surest remedy. There are others who do not mean to defraud their creditors. If one really wishes to settle his indebtedness dollar for dollar, his creditors can easily find it out and generally this class of men are dealt with much leniency. Again there is a class of men who are plenty able to pay and have no inclination to defraud their fellow man, but delay pay- their bill simply because it is a terrible struggle for them to turn a dollar loose. This class may not be guilty of a crime, but they are committing a serious injury to the business Journal.

The ticket with at the head is a very strong one- The convention reiterates the principles of the Chicago platform on the currency question- THE CURRENCY QUESTION. There never was a time when so much has been said and writ- ten in reference to the currency question as is being said and written now. Everybody is dis- it from the man who knows nothing whatever about it to the best informed upon the subject. The plans for the set- of this all absorbing topic are almost as numerous as the number who are discussing it. Congress has been in session now a little more than two weeks and this question has occupied a large part of each days proceed Various bills have been in- In the House the one which is being discussed is the one known as the Wilson bill in by L- Wilson of West Virginia. This is to re- peal the purchasing clause of the Sherman law of 1890, which j the Government to chase four million, five hundred thousand ounces silver each month, and pledges the United States to the coinage of both metals in such a manner as not to discriminate against either. This bill is being thoroughly discuss- ed and the limit of the debate has been fixed for next Monday at which time the House will vote upon the bill. It will doubtless pass this body, though its are confident of its defeat and the passage of a substitute bill which will not only repeal the Sherman law but will also pro- for the free coinage of silver at some fixed ratio, probably to The discussion of the bill on both sides very able and those who have followed the debate have changed in their in reference to the matter almost as many times as there has been speeches made- Many new members have come to the front in the discussion and show won- forensic talent- Messrs.

His own surprise, as well as that of many of our hasty papers, may well be imagined when it was learned next morning that the truth of the matter was the entire absence of truth from the report. Hence explanations were in order. The wag who started the report ought to be cow-hided.

The friends of silver in the Sen- ate are confident that they can defeat any bill in that body for the repeal of the Sherman law which does not propose as a sub the free and unlimited coinage of silver or to say the least of it, at an increased ratio. Senator Vest of Missouri, who has heretofore been classed as an undeviating follower of President Cleveland has surprised his friends by making probably the finest speech that has been made in the Senate in favor of the free coinage of silver- It is also said that he holds the balance of pow- on the Finance committee and will therefore probably have the wording of the bill that may be reported by the committee. One commendable feature of the discussion of this great of finance so far is that it has not been made a party All party lines been obliterated and in consequence we may look for the best that can be had upon this question. We are confident that a-wise solution of the will soon be reached. Since writing the above the committee have agreed upon and reported a bill. It is in substance, after repealing the Sherman law, very much like financial plank of the Democratic substitute one size for both sin and reply cards.

WASHINGTON our Regular Washington Aug. Senator tumbled down a good many imaginary when he asked and obtain- ed the consent of the Senate for the Finance committee to hold daily meetings while the Senate is in session, in order to consider and report a financial bill. A number of industrious liars have been working double time to ate the impression that Senator and the other Democrat members of this committee were purposely delaying the con- by the committee of financial bills that hare been in- The facts speak for themselves and need no comment. The Senate is now considering the bill favorably reported by the finance committee and endorsed by Secretary authorizing National banks to issue currency to the full amount of bonds they have deposited to secure the same- Senator has pro- Cosed several amendments to the ill, because of his belief that the National banks already enjoy too many privileges. But inasmuch as the country is greatly in need of the additional currency which would at once put in were the bill a law there is doubt that it will be passed without material amendment. The House has another week of silver debate ahead of it be- fore the voting begins. The conditional repeal men appear to grow more confident of the result, although they admit that if the rumor which is current, that forty or fifty of the Republicans have agreed to vote with the silver men for the amendment providing for the free coinage of silver at a ratio of to shall prove to true they will be defeated and the amendment adopted. That rumor, however, appears to have a very slender foundation, as Bland, the silver leader, says he knows nothing about any such arrangement and does not believe that it exists, and ex- Speaker Reed says the cans of the House, with less than twenty exceptions, will vote for unconditional repeal. Members of the administration were not surprised at the result of the Sea arbitration, hints of the probable outcome having been received in advance of the decision. Nor are they disappointed, as the United States comes out of it quite as well as expected. The fact is that the present administration has never over this par- arbitration, and had it not found the whole business ranged for when it assumed office something would have been done in accordance with its own ideas. The decision will, of course, be accepted by this government as final, and advices from London bring the same assurance from the British government, so that the long troublesome dispute may be considered as at an end, and the advantages gained by the arbitration as about six points in favor of Great Britton to four in favor of the United States. A Congressman speaking of the matter seems to me that the rich seal ring gets more out of the arbitration than either the United States or Great Brit- as the prohibition of the use of fire-arms in sealing gives that ring a stronger hold than ever upon the business. The only people who still use the spear in sealing are the native Alaskans who in the employ of the seal ring, so you can imagine what the prohibition of fire-arms means to the Representative Grosvenor, -of Ohio, appears to be in a bad way. He claimed in a speech made in the House this week that dent Cleveland's message to Con- was an appeal to partisan- ship. Many things have been said about the message, but so far Grosvenor is the only man who has been able to see partisanship in it During the Harrison ad- ministration Grosvenor had to be sent to Europe on a government mission to keep him of mis- chief, it is a great pity that he cannot now be sent somewhere to remain until the financial is disposed of. Senator Hill this week intro- a bill for the repeal of the Federal election laws. It is short and to the point, and will in duo time be passed- Speaker Crisp says, and there is certainly no better authority, that all the talk about this or that man for the chairmanship of this or that important House commit- tee is pure guesswork- He has not made up his own mind, con- it would be an for anybody to say what he intends doing- As soon as he the members satisfactorily assigned the committee will be announced. It has been stated here this week that President Cleveland was unalterably opposed to any compromise and desired Congress to either unconditionally repeal the purchasing of the Sher- man law or to let it alone. Your correspondent vainly endeavored to find a Democratic Senator or Representative who had personal knowledge that such are Mr- Cleveland's sentiments. That he would prefer repeal is certain that he would veto conditional repeal I do not believe.

Ashland, Va , Aug. 1883. Dear Bro. The weekly of your ex- Reflector always find in me a most welcome host in the famed Old Dominion.

To me the best news I know is that September 1st will soon here and on that date my of self-banishment from the dearest spot on earth to me, glorious old Pitt, will arrive. I came to to stay until that time and my company wish me to con- in the Keeley work I shall return try to make a living at the law among my old friends and acquaintances at home. I have found truly that heart has many passages through which the feelings come, But its middle aisle is sacred to the old, old The work under my manage- has prospered in Virginia despite the hard times and I shall leave many friends behind me scattered all over the State. Last year I traveled all over North Carolina. This year I have visit- ed every section of Virginia and must say that while the people are the same in both States, North Carolina as a whole is much the more prosperous of the two. Virginia has more large towns and cities and more wealth in that respect, but the farming regions and methods as a rule are far superior in North Carolina. There some magnificent farms in the State but they are far be- tween. I drove eighteen miles the other day through the country and visited a splendid grass, grain and stock finest I ever along the whole route not another solitary well kept farm could be seen. One old mansion on the road was occupied by whites in one portion and in the other and the whole premises wore an air of neglect and desolation truly pathetic. In the tobacco section the farmers are very much behind apparently, no evidences of thrift or visible except here and there. The far-famed tobacco re- of Virginia seem to have j exhausted tho producers in effort to build up the towns and the laud been worked to death in the fashioned way. The people exceedingly kind hospitable and many they be to whom I am indebted for courtesies We are very much troubled here j for currency, the Richmond banks not allowing depositors to draw but no matter how much you may have to your credit Everything has to be paid in checks after the fifty dollars gives out. One day deposited about in the bank for my com- the next day I received notice that I could draw out in cash, the balance only by draft. And yet all the efforts of the Pres and the press seem to be looking for the relief of the banks in their self-inflicted panic, while the long suffering and have begged for relief, or even thy, for the past ten years are simply called I have yet to hear that term plied to the so-called and it strikes me they have just been rearing on their hind legs and howling like coyotes for the past month. If the bank can take my cash and compel me to get it back in a way dictated by them, the next time I owe one cash I shall try get them to accommodate me by taking a horse, or a cow, or a load of to- They'll call me a swindler set the sheriff after me. How long, oh how long, shall the submit to such unequal and stop over talking about this being a free country. But I get mad when I think of these things and better stop. Some time I hope to give your readers a full account of my Virginia travels from seashore to Until then good bye, Andrew Joyner. The following circular from the tobacco of Dur- ham fully explains the situation in that place. It comes too late for tho Tobacco Department but as it argues on the same lino on which we have been writing for some time past, we give it here in order that it may get before the people as soon as possible. Every honest warehouseman should feel it his duty to inform his custom- of the true state of affairs. By holding a short while longer the almost universal opinion is prices will go up. O. L. J. Durham, N- C, lo our friends and You are that for some time Loaf Tobacco has been sell- much below its value upon all markets. This is occasioned by the depressed condition of ail branches of especially the Tobacco Manufacturing Trade throughout the country, causing, but little demand for or leaf tobacco. Many to- factories have already ed temporarily, owing to this dull trade, consequently many leaf dealers, as well as manufacturers are carrying very large stocks of leaf and do not desire to increase the quantity. Knowing that you should have better prices for your leaf, and believing you will have in a short time, and feeling that your inter- est is our interest, we have agreed with each other to close our ware- houses and discontinue sales further notice.

We know of no man in Catawba county who voted the full National, State and county Democratic who now at- tends Alliance meetings or keeps up his membership in that body. We are satisfied the same state of affairs exists throughout the State. Some papers seem to take a different view of the matter, as they now and then spoke of Democratic and of keeping the order out of politics. But the papers are fast coming around to our opinion. The Golds Headlight says there is not a Democrat in Wayne county in the Alliance. The Concord Times says if there is a Democrat in Cabarrus county who now belongs to the Alliance his name is not known. The Charlotte News has found that only three Democrats in burg belong to the Alliance. One of these three is S- B.

Notwithstanding the continued talk of hard times, the Reflector believes the farmers of eastern Carolina, and of Pitt county especially, a c in a better condition to day than they have been for a number of years. The good tobacco crop of last year turned loose a large quantity of money in the county, all of which we cannot think has been spent. This year the best crops are growing that have been made since 1889, fewer mortgages have been given, less purchases have been made on credit there are few farmers but who have made their supplies at home. this we have the figures before M show- between June 1st, 1893 June 1st. 1893, the Railroad Co paid to citizens of this county for timber purchases a fraction in cash, to say nothing of similar purchases made by the Beaufort County Co., the Johnson Lumber Co., the Dennis Simmons Co., and other such companies doing business in the county. Upon the whole we believe the people of this county ate many thousand dollars better off to-day than they were a year ago, and if every- body would stop complaining and not be afraid to let their money out better times would be felt all m i i to the AND FROM THERE WILL TAKE IN THE Similarity of Names.

Two weeks ago reports from nearly every section in Central North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and see showed the crops to be parch- up from dry weather. Now it seems they have had a super abundance of rain and tobacco is taking the second growth and still some people crop out too much tobacco. There is too much common tobacco and not enough attention paid to fine- A few days ago a Richmond paper accidentally fell our hands and about the first thing we noticed on the page was the tobacco market report by a certain warehouse firm there- Quotations range all the way from cents for common to cents for wrappers. We were very much encouraged over the prospect were thinking of ad vising farmers to bring in their tobacco we expect to keep even with any when a from Richmond stop- ping at the King House told us that he had been Richmond on the market for a week and there wasn't a pound of tobacco offered while he was there. If every merchant business man in Greenville would exert himself and his influence as much to the of the Green- ville tobacco market as Capt. C. A- White has there is not the slightest doubt but that Green- ville be the largest loose tobacco market in North Caro- You may ask what has the Capt. done. would tell you but the near future will reveal it and besides Capt. White is very secretive in his business matters and not having consulted him don't know that he wants his business made public. Suffice it to say Capt. is heart and soul in the tobacco market with or more like him, Green- ville will stand on a solid rock- A few days ago a citizen of Greenville, and one that stands high in commercial rating dis- cussing the low price of tobacco said that he would take the chases of any buyer here off his hards and share equal in profits and losses on the purchases. Whereupon a certain warehouse- man here hearing of it set out mediately to trade with this gen- He told him what he had heard and asked if he would take his purchases at floor cost at the same time telling him that he might ship the tobacco to any market that he wished. The merchant, for such he was, took water of course and told the warehouseman that he said it but was just joking. Remember now this man made this proposition seemingly in earnest in the pres- of a number of farmers who will have a perfect right to think that he was in earnest sure enough. What is the result The farmer will of course think that if the buyer can buy his to- here ship it and make money on it that he can save the profits himself by shipping, when in fact there is not a buyer on this market that sells his tobacco on loose floors. That time is past and from past experience the farmers are to learn more about their own affairs than a great many of their wise who know a great deal more theoretical than practical farming. A FINANCIAL OUTLOOK. The prospect for better times has been ardently looked for by men of every profession and call- for the last thirty days more than ever before in the history of our country. Doubtless times have been as tight as now but body but the banker, broker and speculator were especially injured at the time, but the question which has so thoroughly agitated the public mind here in the south especially is where are we to get money to move the crops unless times get better. This more than anything else has brought about the intense feeling and anxiety for the last thirty days. News paper reports have been bolster- up the financial situation to make it appear as bright as and still banking houses have continued to go down and this of course has disseminated the lack of confidence, feeling when under any other condition except pressing times the great majority of them would never have been noticed because in time of financial stringency a great many money institutions that were already rotten before, are forced to the wall and hence to this extent tho business world is purged of a great deal of its impurities. At the same time a great many institutions are forced under whose assets are greater than their liabilities ply they can't convert their securities into currency. Each business has its channel of exchange and makes its arrange- to conduct business through the country's money these banks a great deal of the surplus of the country is deposit- ed which aids the of course in their business. When a money scare comes along these deposits are quickly withdrawn the banks find themselves with only money enough to transact their own business and hence are ramble to offer any ac- to other lines of business. This creates a tight money market and is called a panic is just as much money in the country to-day as last year this time, the only differ- being the most of it instead of being in circulation is keeping company with chimney chinks and locked up private safes awaiting the tide over of money matters, then again it will find its way back into circulation. The New York World and Richmond Dispatch say the outlook is ex- bright. To those who money to lend they say put it out now or in a few days they will not be able to lend it at all as the country will be flooded with money and nobody will want it. This is the bright side of the question. We only hope it will be as they say. One thing is certain which makes the outlook more less than thirty days forty millions of gold will be turned loose in the United States. This will permeate every branch of business and we sin- hope will serve as a wedge to loosen the strain in business circles. because they employed Gran- ville county experts to grade it for them. Some times we found tobacco graded all right and then again it was graded all wrong. The best thing for the eastern far- mer to do is to learn tobacco him- self so that he will be on no one's judgment. There are three things to ham about co which when analyzed sums up about all that can be learned about tobacco after it is cured. The color and which appeals to the of sight two things to be learned. A color person cannot grade tobacco. One should be able to distinguish quickly the slight differences in the shades of color and at the same time exercise the grades in reference to The texture and body is the third point to be considered. This appeals to the sense of touch and the more active the sense of touch tho more nearly perfect they can classify tobacco in reference to texture and body. These three things should be learned by every one interested in tobacco culture. Three Lies. A Parisian paper relates the fol- lowing story of a contest in boasting which, it says, took place between three artists of said one of the artists, I painted a pine board In Imitation of marble, and did it with such fidelity that when the board was put into a pond of water it sank like a said the second; is i nothing.

Tobacco Should be Carefully Graded. A friend of ours and one who will be a buyer on this market later in the season, suggested a valuable thought to us a few days and as it pertains to the farmers interest we herewith give it with some for your con- He said there would be large orders on this market for. every grade of tobacco during the com- reason and there was a very important fact that had not been observed by a great many eastern farmers, the for at strictly to tho grading of j tobacco Every grade of tobacco j from the pack house sweepings to . the finest wrappers should be rigidly graded. A great deal of j the tobacco that was bought here ; last year had to Le regraded. This of course is against the pro- In buying it the buyer is sure to allow himself a reasonable margin for regarding and taking the risk of getting a lot of com tobacco out of a seemingly good Made. In other words when it is regraded the best grade is generally worth to pay for the entire lot hence the producer loses the common grade entirely. Look over the country to-day and those who have taken the meat pains with it.

The subject is an important one and the industry based upon it destined to become a most valuable one to the South. Of the many thousands of barrels of seed potatoes now ally brought from the North both for seed and food, a few years hence will be reduced to as many hundred. The truckers in the East Atlantic States, to a large extent, now plant home-grown potatoes for the second crop, and it will not be long before the practice will become universal. These potatoes are destined also to supply the food market to the exclusion of Northern grown potatoes. The important points to observe In planting the seed in the soil until planting time, about the second week in August and use only sprouted The cut potatoes when bed- ed sprout better than whole ones. Plant in a d furrow, but cover very lightly and pack the soil to the seed. Gradually till in the soil to the plants as they grow, and cultivate the crop perfectly flat.

The loss to several of these es- Including cloths ruined, and loss of time and labor, must have exceeded SI each. The moth which produces this caterpillar is a slender lead- colored insect, about inch long. The wings ii wary black lines near the tip. The insect is rather sluggish and often remains in one position for a long time. This moth can probably be found active in this state all months of the year except January. The eggs are whitish or pink, and kidney-shaped. The eggs are usually outside of sacks and in the cracks They hatch in about days. As soon as hatched the caterpillar makes its way into the Hour and there spins around itself a silken tunnel in which it lives and feeds on the flour. These tunnels cause the Hour to become knotted into clots which refuse to pass through the machinery, rendering the material worthless, besides clogging the cloths, screens and spouts. The only practicable for this pest is to fumigate the en- tire mill building in which flour and foods arc kept with carbon This substance Is a fluid having a most disgusting odor. It vaporizes readily when exposed to the air and in this condition is destructive to all forms of active insect life. To use it. the room or building to be fumigated must be closed as tightly as possible. All interior doors should be kept open. Expose the liquid in shallow pans or saucers and close the building for to hours. Then open all doors and windows and allow the gas to disperse in the Care- should be ex- to avoid breathing the gas and on no account should any Are or light be brought into the room or building while the peculiar odor can be This substance is highly explosive and With care no harm will follow its use, When the gas disperses in the air it leaves i,, behind, so that no trace of it can be found in the flour or food. Where only a small lot of goods or sacks are infested they may be placed in an air tight room, or bin and a dish of the liquid placed within near the top. Use about four fluid ounces of the liquid for each cubic feet of space, or for grain or flour a tight bin use pound of carbon for each ton. Carbon be of W. S. Powell Co., Junction, Md., and of Edward Clark, Columbus, O. Price about cents per pound in pound cans. In smaller quantities It be of any druggist. The Cock and other cock- roach is one of the most common, dis- gusting and pests in all places where flour or bread is kept. There are two species about equally common in this State, The larger one is dark brown and varies from 5-4 to inch in length. It runs very rapidly, and being so flat, it easily finds shelter in some crack when pursued. Figure represents the common yellow roach, or It is much smaller than the other species. All roaches are enormously fecund, all voracious and eat every kind of food used by people. They prefer bread and floor, and foods made flour. These pests arc nocturnal in their habits and hence are apt to es- cape observation until their numbers increase so much as to render their presence alarmingly patent. Cleanliness where such is practical is essential to keep free of these insects. In mills ware- houses where flour dust and is everywhere, the carbon fumigation must be resorted to, and must be very thoroughly done, so that the vapor of the substance will find its into the cracks and crevices where these pests hide. In addition powder should be blown Into cracks where they known to hide, or pore oil may be blown in with-an ordinary oiling can. Pow- borax sprinkled on shelves where they run will drive them away. Old rags moistened with molasses in which Paris green has been pended will poison them. The cloth should be freshly moistened each evening and removed in the morning. Rica North Car we have two species of grain we- which infests wheat and corn, and which infests rice in warehouses. The first is the more common and injurious. Both species are much alike.

The only practicable remedy for these pests is carbon The infected should be put in an air-tight box or bin and a dish of the liquid laid on top of the heap. The whole must then be tightly covered and left for to hours. Then expose to the air until all odor is gone. The grain or flour will not be injured by the carbon, 11-3 to pounds for each ton of grain, and cover tightly so as to keep in the fumes until insects arc killed. are exceedingly tenacious of life. Flat is a narrow brown beetle 1-12 inch long, and scarcely thicker than a sheet of paper. It is a native of Asia, as its name betokens. It is becoming yearly a greater pest in the Southern State, and will probably exceed in mischief even the weevils. The remedy for this is the same as for the This insect is fond of greasy substances, and If some paper is soaked in melted lard Pans green upon it while moist and the pois- sheets distributed on floor shelves where grain and flour is kept, many of the beetles will be but this flour will not give satisfaction where they are already abundant until the carbon has killed most of them. As a matter of safety all mills, ware- houses and stores where grain, flour, and food-stuffs are kept, should receive a thorough annual cleaning, and with carbon This, if attended to and thoroughly done, will save many thousands of dollars damage, It will be most efficacious if done about April It may be repented with benefit in July or August. The best time to fumigate is on Saturday evening, having thoroughly closed all outside doors and ventilators, leave them until morning. The most care must be taken that no fire shall be taken into the building while the odor of carbon can be smelled. Neglect of this precaution will almost certainly result in an ex and fire. With care there is no anger. The odor of this substance, though most disgusting, will not injure the most delicate food preparation. The odor is not poisonous to human be- unless breathed for a long time, but as little as possible should, be haled. QUESTIONS AND REPLIES.
