This is a year of unusual
and interest in the
tics of the country. Not only will
the people elect an entirely new
House of Representative which
portends a possible change in the
complexion of the legislative
branch of the government, but in
almost all the States officers are
to be chosen from governor down.

general elections in thirty States

EATING BEFORE SLEEPING.
It used to be prejudicial to
good health to partake of food
just before going to bed. But
many physicians now
mend to their patients a light
meal before retiring. On this
subject Dr. W. T. in the
Maryland Medical Journal says
persons, though not ac-
sick, keep below par in
strength and general tone, and I
am of the opinion that fasting
during the long between
supper and breakfast, and
too complete emptiness of
the stomach during sleep, adds

sleeplessness, and general

thought that the man was a

that his statement as to his

reasons for this, one of which is
that the men elected to

D. C, July
Both Houses of Congress are
hard at work. The appropriation
bills being disposed of with all
possible dispatch- The members
of House Senate are anxious
to get home to Carolina to
build up some badly broken
fences. It is safe to assume that
all of them wish to be
and re-elected and yet
many of the visiting politicians
predict changes in the delegation
on the 4th of next March. There
is talk of strength in a fusion of
the Populists and Republicans.
I put no faith in this fusion-
North Carolina Democrats know
too well what that means.
The President has won very
many friends by his masterly
management of the strike- His
firmness, courage and superiority
to the methods of such
as saved this
country millions of dollars and
many lives-
Senator has added a
total of to the House bill
for the improvement of North
Carolina and Harbors
The main items of the bill are as

It was a graceful thing for the
Senate to endorse Mr. Cleveland's
courage and firmness in dealing
with the strikers in the northwest.
But for the President's
nerve the result might have
been much more serious.
There is a tight deadlock the
tariff conference room the House
conferences backed by the Speak-
and doubtless, by Cleveland are
determined to accept no
Compromise that varies much
from the original Wilson bill.
The main fight will be over iron-
ore, coal and sugar.

education of the deaf, and their
removal from the Institution for
the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind
at the latter institution
is bettor prepared ever be-
fore to sustain and educate the
blind. Our capacity is increased,
our force augmented and our
methods all of which
enables us to do more efficient
work than we heretofore
done. We are anxious that every
blind child in the State receive
an we wish to do all in
our power for the betterment of
this unfortunate class, to enable
them to avail themselves of this
free institution in which the State
so magnanimously offers to in
this class of citizens.
With a view to this end, we
earnestly appeal to the
people of our Common-
wealth to aid us in this noble
work. We wish to be put in touch
with every blind child within our
borders. We desire the name,
township, county and
nearest railroad station of every
child of this class in North Caro-
Also the name of the parent
or guardian of such child- With
such data, we will correspond

these children, this way

Tho law is made for all. There
are none too high or too low to
fall into its meshes when proper-
administered. And so it may
be that while the unknown striker
at Chicago may have made him-
self indictable for interfering with
the mails, so while Mr. Debs, the
head of the Railway Union, has
gotten in the toils, so also it may
that the railway magnates may
themselves find that they too have
violated the law and are liable
to punishment. It is supposed
that Judge had these
great men in view when he gave
additional instructions to the
grand jury, advising them that
in case evidence was presented
showing that the mails were de
interstate commerce in-
with as the result of an
agreement by railroad officials or
others in order to create public
sympathy, it constituted a con-
no matter how high
the position the individuals may
they are not exempt from in-
and trial.
This would seem to indicate
that the railway magnets may
themselves have broken the law
and that the punishment that
Debs may receive will be visited
on them.
Of the facts we have no such
information as would justify an
expression of opinion as to their
guilt; but we would not be
prised if these men had violated
the law in the respect imputed to
them and if so, the country will
desire and an equal enforcement

WASHINGTON LETTER,
our Regular
Washington, D. C-, July
President Cleveland and his
cabinet are almost swamped with
telegrams from every section of
the country congratulating them
on the courage and promptness
with which they have brought
order out of chaos and prevented
what at one time looked like it
might be a revolution, and
aid to any imaginable
extent, in both men and money-
The President and his advisers
believe that the worst is over, but
they none the less feel proud of
the confidence reposed in them
by Congress and the pi and
will continue their efforts to de-
serve that confidence.
It is Speaker

Tenn., having been
elected Speaker pro. tern- of the
House during the absence of
Speaker Crisp, who has been
called to Georgia by the serious
of his brother.
The Democrats of the tariff
conference have held
daily meetings this week, and the
air is full of rumors each contra-
of the other as to what
they have done. These rumors
are nothing more than guesses as
members of the conference will
have nothing to say until they
report to their respective Houses.
Had the situation not been
entirely too grave and important
to be laughed at the silly talk of
Messrs. Hayes, and
French, members of the Executive
committee of the Knights of La-
who are in Washington this
week, about beginning impeach-
proceedings against
General because of the
arrest of would have been
regarded as a good As it
is it merely gave the intelligent
public an opportunity to
the caliber of the men who con-
a once powerful and
organization and to wonder
how they managed to get their
authority and how long the or-
can stand the use they
are making of it.
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, in
addition to being a State's rights
Democrat of the staunchest sort
is known among lawyers as an
authority upon Constitutional
law- His resolution as a
substitute to the semi-anarchist
resolution offered by Senator
Puffer, of and supported
by the populist Senator in one of
the most outrageous speeches
ever made in the Senate in which
the abolition of Congress and the
transfer of to a com-
composed of one member
from each State was
endorsing President Cleveland
and his administration for the
prompt and vigorous measures
taken to repulse and repress by
military force the interference of
lawless men with the due process
of the laws of the U- S-, and with
commerce among the States and
declaring that action of tho
President and his administration
has the full sympathy and support
of tho law abiding masses of the
U. S-, and will be supported by
all departments of the govern-
and by the power and re-
sources of, the entire
would have been immediately
adopted by a nearly unanimous
vote of the Senate as it was the

plained reason caused it to go
over a day under the rules by
objecting to a vote thereon and
refusing to withdraw the
although he was begged to
do so by his Republican
Speaking of the situation
Senator Daniel am a
States rights Democrat, and
would be the last man to stand
idly by and see the authority of
the State encroached upon, but
I fail to see anything here that
encroaches upon the authority of
the State of Illinois in any way.
The President is acting entirely
within the lines of the constitution
and his action is to be commend
ed by all law abiding citizens,
regardless of their political
or partisan
This is the way the situation
looks to Senator Davis, of Minn-,
tho Republican whose raking
down of will not soon be
forgotten have looked into
this matter as a lawyer, and my
is that the President
has gone about this business as
a lawyer. He has considered his
ground, become acquainted with
his authority and powers, and
then gone in to exercise them in
a righteous cause and for the
good of the general public- He
has not exceeded his authority
one whit; on the contrary, he has
nor as yet exhausted it- If the
troops are not sufficient
for this emergency the state
militia is at his command- The
President can swear the militia
of the various states into the
service of the U- S-, and then
send them to Chicago or any
other point where their
may become necessary. The
constitution is broad enough in
this case, and the President is
upon
President Cleveland has doubt-
less gained somewhat in public
esteem by his course during the
recent turmoil. It was an
when the qualities for which
he is particularly noted were re-
for successfully meeting
the issue. He is a strong, deter-
mined, self-sufficient man; and he
is as safe, prudent and consider-
ate as he is bold and resolute.
His sentiments we have thought
have been generally, just and his
purposes and he has
always had the nerve to act
promptly and decisively. Those
characteristics fit him to deal
with emergencies, his value
as a man in office at such times
is exemplified by his action- The
people a confidence that he
will do the right thing and do it
wisely It is the more
agreeable to us to thus place on
record our estimate of Mr. Cleve-
land in these concerns, as we have
at times, but always with due
respect, differed with him point-
and emphatically in regard
to some other questions; and we
prefer to commend him rather
than say aught in his dispraise.
He is a great in
every sense; one of the greatest
men this country has ever pro-
and we regret that on any-
subject there should be a diver-
of sentiment between him
and our people. News-

hold the Congressional

never held hero before, and
Greenville is going to stir herself
on this occasion and show the
delegates from other counties

thing for every citizen to do
towards seeing the delegates well
entertained, making the

in Bad Luck
Mr. Jessie one of our

last week in Wilson and surround-
towns. He seems to have
been in bad luck on one of his
trips. He left Snow Hill, ac-
companied by a party of friends,
to make expecting to
connect with the train for Golds-
But, alas, they missed
there calculations and found the
train had been gone for half an
hour. They procured a hand car,
and four good hands, and then
started on the run for Goldsboro
to catch the north bound train on
the W- W. railroad for Wilson.
They made the run of H miles
from LaGrange to in
one hour an a quarter. On
riving they that
train had left for just five
minutes before got there.
Mr. says they had a reg
crew on the hand car and
time the car would reach a
crossing the would
signal the engineer to blow his
whistle to warm the people to be
i careful, for they were coming.

LOCAL NOTES AND TOBACCO
JOTTINGS.
Tobacco crops from nearly all
sections of the are report-
ed looking well.
have noticed a good many
crops of tobacco that are topped
from two to sis leaves too high.
Farmers should very careful
about this.
Neglecting to top tobacco at
the proper time, topping it too
high and allowing succors to
grow and remain on the plant will
ruin the crop quicker and more
effectually than anything else you
can do. It robs the loaves of
their substance and weight and
makes only a light stuff
that doesn't sell for much.
Nearly every crop of tobacco
this year is more or less spotted,
that is a large plant and a small,
the result of repeated resetting,
and how to make good tobacco
out of the small plants is hard to
do- The early tobacco is too
large to plow and the young to-
needs it. The only thing
that can be done is to work rapid-
the small plants with a hoe.
Stronger efforts will be made
this year than ever before by dis-
markets to induce Pitt
farmers to sell their tobacco
away from home- To the farmers
we simply say if any other mar-
can make it to your interest
to sell your tobacco there by all
means it a duty you owe your-
self and family to sell where you
can get most for it, meanwhile we
would say that our conveniences
this year tor handling tobacco are
better than ever before and our
efforts to make it to your interest
to sell in Greenville, will be more
than double what they have been
in any previous year- Just watch
your interest and don't be too
quickly taken in by these glib
tongued talkers, whose only inter-
est in the market they represent is
the dollars and cents they get out
of the job. To the man who is
working honestly and sincerely
for his market these remarks do
not apply but for the one who
would misrepresent and mislead
regardless of facts and because
there is no one to reply they are
intended.
In the June number of the
North American Review, Mr-
John F- Hume has an article en-
titled Family in
which he does up the South
for its repudiated
that is ad-
to be unconstitutional and
fraudulent. He seems to have
fretted himself into a fever
over the fact that the Southern
in their recent
in the city of Richmond, Va-,
for the purpose of calling the at-
of capitalist to the
equaled advantages and induce-
afforded in the opening up
and development of Southern re-
sources, did not take into their
discussion what he terms
Family and gives as a
reason why they did not that the
subject was a tender one. He
goes back to the darkest period
in tho Souths history and drags
from the smoking ruins of
the indebtedness which
he says has shrunk into a
ton and flaunts it into the eyes of
the world as a scare-crow to
frighten capital from the field of
Southern investment-
The editor of the re
quested Mr- Clark Ho well editor of
the Atlanta Constitution, the
ablest writer and tho strongest
exponent of Southern rights in
the South to reply to the article
of Mr- Hume, which he does in
the July number. When we had
read the article of Mr- Hume, we
wondered at the ghastly spectacle
that he had drawn and presented
to the reading public of the
South's repudiated bonds and
could only hope that Mr- Howell
when heard from would throw a
different light upon the subject-
Mr- Howell's article is replete
with facts and figures but an ex-
argument could not be
given in the limited amount of
space allowed him- Suffice it to say
however, that he met every charge
and has vindicated the South
from the false impression that
the former article necessarily
made-

on this page, who is to-day one of
the most wide awake and
young tobacco man in the
State- He is yet quite young,
but in the few years during which
he has been connected with the
tobacco trade Mr- Joyner has
done perhaps more to advance
J the tobacco industry Eastern
North Carolina than any other
one man- Since finishing his
business course in a Western
commercial college a few years
ago, he has been a hustler of the
New South type, and solid results
are already in sight as the fruit
of his labor-
Mr- Joyner is proprietor of the
Eastern Warehouse at Greenville,
X. and through his efforts to-
growing has been largely
increased in his section- has
a large of
valuable matter on tobacco grow-
and curing, bearing tho ex-
of it himself, and in this
way the acreage has so largely
increased that Greenville now
looms up as the coming market
of the East. The planters of the
East who would show their
of Mr- Joyner's efforts
in their behalf will do well to re-
member that he is one of best
to be and
sell their tobacco with him. He
is capable, clever and courteous,
and will always make the weed
its full value- Mr. Joyner
is better prepared this year than
ever to handle the new crop,
and will no doubt have a very
large patronage. The crop around
Greenville promises to be fine
and many large orders and new
dealers will make things lively
there this fall.
Since the opening of the Green-
ville market Mr. O. L. Joyner
has worked with might and main
to make it a success, and has
This year Greenville

territory than ever before, and
the sales promise to be double that

Only a Small Favor.
A certain Irishman, having
been challenged to fight a duel,
accepted the conditions after
much persuasion on part
his friends, who felt confident of
his success. His antagonist, a
little man, walked on crutches.
When the place for the shoot-
had been reached the lame
man's second asked that he be
allowed to lean against a mile
stone which happened to stand
there. The privilege was allowed,
and the lame man took his stand.
The Irishman and his seconds
drew off to the distance agreed
upon, one hundred feet. Here
Pat's courage suddenly failed him
and he shouted to the lame man.

In building the big observatory
tower at park, near Lon-
don, the contractor is making use of
four electric cranes. The general
form of this tower is much like that
of the Eiffel tower In Paris, and one
of the cranes is used at the top of
each of the inclined legs, which have
now reached the height of about one
hundred and fifty feel. Each crane
has a long boom or arm, from which
ropes reach down the ground and
pick up the girders, sometimes
weighing over thirty tons. When
the girder, column or other piece of
the iron work is lifted to the top of
the leg the crane is swung around
and the boom raised or lowered
in the proper position. After all
the pieces for a new story or
have been riveted together, a few
girders are placed in position, and
the crane pulls itself up to this floor,
and is ready for service again. The
great advantage of electricity in
such an appliance is the saving of
weight possible by using electric
motors In place of steam engines and
boilers, an important matter when
the are working more than
one hundred feet above the ground.
The motor used on each crane is of
fourteen-horse power, and takes a
current of amperes at volts.
The Profits of Chicken-Raising by In-
The profits of raising chickens by
means of incubators and brooders is
apparently quite large. The smallest
sized incubator costs twenty-five
dollars, with oil lamp and all other
necessaries complete, and is good
for one gross of eggs. They are, of
course, well selected, and may cost
twenty cents a dozen just now. The
eggs are deposited on plates which
can be made to revolve by a touch,
but owing to the eggs being equally
exposed on all sides and the
being always maintained at
the same level, the trouble of turn-
the eggs which afflicts the do-
hen is spared to the owner of
the machine. It takes from nine-
teen to twenty-one days to turn out
the perfected brood of chicks, and no
gain has yet been made on the
forts of the well-disposed hen in the
matter of time records. At two
months the chickens are worth a
quarter apiece for culinary
poses, or, if duck eggs have been
experimented with, the pecuniary
returns are larger. Ducks take a
few days more to hatch. The young
birds are placed at birth under the
brooder c nursing mother, a cast-
iron construction much resembling
the incubator and warmed in the
same manner by oil or gas. Under
the shade of this substitute for the
spreading wings of the maternal
hen the chicks thrive and grow. The
cost of food is Inconsiderable and
the profits must be large. The in-
and brooders are built of
shoot iron or tin, are about three
feet high and eight in circumference,
and take up as much room as an
ordinary flour barrel. Cellar culture

LONDON'S GAS.
An American Who Has Achieved a
Success in That Field.
Two young American
have lately succeeded in a long
with English conservatism, as
evinced in the gas Industry. Some
years ago these men. A. C.
Humphreys and A. G. Glasgow,
conceived the idea that the water
gas process, by which coal gas is
enriched by a gas made from
and superheated steam, would
prove economical in many English
cities. So they resigned from tho
Important positions they held in this
country and wont to London, where
for a number of years they have
been endeavoring to obtain a foot-
hold. The prejudice against the
process which advocate has
been overcome now to a considerable
extent, and a number of works in-
stalled. It was some time before tho
value of the process was
edged, and even after that was
granted it was held that the price of
oil, six cents a gallon, was an in-
obstacle. But works
were built at which twenty-four-
power gas was delivered into
the holders at thirty-four cents per
one thousand feet, while the average
cut n amount of coal gas
at London was over thirty-five
and In the suburbs over forty-
one cent. These figures and tho
advantages of the water-gas process
as regards ease of operation and
economy of have proved con-
ill last. Mr.
success in the matter is only what
his American acquaintances expect-
ed, for his career has been an inter-
one. The manner in which
his technical education was acquired
is characteristic of the man. While
superintendent of tho gas works at
Bayonne, X. J., he entered
institute, and by working nights
and attending the classes on but two
afternoons in the week, graduated
at the head of his class with tho
highest honors, receiving nattering
public commendation from President
Morton and his professors.
