for their education, she said the
work was an utter failure- Driven
back like they are and kept to
themselves they can never b
brought to the habits and

way Indians can over brought
to full civilization and become
good citizens is to scatter them
over the country and absorb them
by the whites- Kept together as

retained, they can never be
oped and improved. A young In
takes a course at the govern-
schools and then comes east
to finish his education. He adopts
the white man's dress and customs
and goes back to his people an
educated man. Because of the
changes he has undergone his
people nave nothing to do with him
and he must either abandon them
and make his abode in other parts
of the country, or he is left
out society or congenial
ates- If he remains amid such
surroundings he soon becomes a
worse man than in his former
state. It is impossible to make n
white man of an Indian in his
present surroundings.

Awaking about o'clock one
morning to go out fishing we
heard one of the church bells on
the island tolling as if for a
funeral. Thinking it an unusual
hour for a burial, upon going out
we inquired of a native what it
meant. He said there was a death
on tho island during the night
the bell was tolled to notify
the people of it. They have a
custom there to give information
as soon as a death occurs by toll-

they have a cemetery in which are
some old tombs and some that

Over at Portsmouth we visited
the new life saving station that
has just been built there by the

It is a building of two-and-
a half stories with observatory
on top, and while on the outside
it has no specially
it is certainly beautiful
on the interior, and is a model of
convenience and comfort. The
contractor, a man from New
Jersey, showed us through the
different apartments, and when
asked as to the cost of the build-
said he received for its con-
it looks
like half that amount would have
been a good price for such a

government fully For
instance one man was kept there
at a salary of per
mouth to oversee the contractor
and his workmen and see if every-
thing was done in accordance
with specifications Then there
was an inspector at a salary of
per month who came around
occasionally to see if the overseer
was attending to his business, and
so on through others higher in
authority at still larger salaries.
The interior of the building is
finished in oiled white pine that
was brought from Michigan and
per thousand feet- We
asked the contractor if North
Carolina yellow pine would
have just as good and many
cheaper. He said yes, that
he could have gotten a good

some using of fists and drawing
of pistols by the latter and a

the natives. A warrant was is

the magistrate giving orders
to the constable if he got near
enough to hail three times, and
if the boat did not stop at the

Washington, D- C-, July
The Democrats who place the
interests of the party and country
above that of individuals,
those individuals be U- S- Sen-
or private citizens, have
been working manfully since the
smoke of the Senatorial explosion,
which for a time threatened to
make tariff legislation
at this session of Congress, clear-
ed away, to bring about a better
state of feeling among Democrats
who differ in their opinions as to
the extent to which tariff reform
ought to go at this time. While
it cannot be said that their work
has yet been entirely successful,
it has certainly had a good effect,
and the belief is now general that
the renewal of the tariff confer-
will result in an agreement
that can accepted by the Dem-
of both the House and the
Senate and by President Cleve-
land without loss of dignity or
prestige on the part of either-
Now that the events of the past
week can be calmly considered
seems to be reason for the
opinion held by many able Demo-
that personal prejudice was
allowed to enter into much of the
talk that has been indulged in,
and that some people have been
far more intent upon
than upon the good of the
country or the welfare of the Dem-
party- However, as the
policy of those Democrats who
are now trying to bring about
action by the party in
Congress is to let bygones be by-
the least said about recent
party happenings the better- Too
much, much too much, has
ready been said, both in Congress
and in Democratic newspapers-
The principle object of every Dem-
should now be to to-
pass the tariff bill and
elect a majority of the next House.
For certain it is that if the
two things be not soon ac-
the third, already made
difficult by party dissensions, will
soon become an

He states his
own opinion between
the Senate and House bills, my
preference is for the latter, be-
cause I am a thorough believer
in free raw materials- On this
question I feel sure the popular
verdict sustains the President and
the House, and I think we will
speedily get a tariff law along the
lines of the Wilson bill. Yet I
should not feel unhappy in the
event that the other view prevails
because to enact a measure like
the Senate bill is a great achieve
for the Democracy- It is a
complete reversal of a policy- of
thirty years standing- It is like a
short turning of to the

His many friends here were
to learn of the death of
tr. Joe B- Joyner, which
curred on last Wednesday morn-
after a several weeks illness
with typhoid fever. He was an
only child of Mr. and Mrs-
Joyner, of Farmville township.
Joe was about years old and a
young man of exceptionally
bright promise for a life of useful-
death is a severe blow
to the aged parents and they have
the deepest sympathy of hosts of
friends.
Good Tobacco.
Coming home from the picnic
last Wednesday we stopped a
short at Mr. Tyson's
and went out to look at his
co. He has only a few acres of
it, but his crop is very nice. We
noticed some leaves that were
inches long. He had cured a
barn of primings, one barn on
the stalk and was half through
another barn at the time of our
visit. The day this ho
sold the of at his
pack house for through with-

that he made a fine cure- Before

Fully fifty people from Green-

fine tobacco
A good many cures have
reported from different sections
of the county. These of course
were mostly primings and the
cure was good but stalk cutting
is now going on rapidly-
Messrs J. W- Morgan and R. H.
Hays have returned and are
ready for the new crop. All the
old buyers will be on the market
a few days and a good many
new ones also are expected.
The first new North
tobacco that have heard of
being sold was bought by the

Up to about two weeks ago there
never was a better prospect in
Eastern North Carolina for a fine
crop of almost everything that
grows on our soil. Tobacco it is
true, was somewhat spotted but
it was vigorous and every farmer
looked for a splendid crop
of wrappers. Up to this
time the rain fall in the Eastern
part of the State had been very
light During the month of May
the rain fall was only in June
in was only and from July 1st
to in has been nearly four
inches and greater part of this
fell from the 19th to the 22nd.
The heavy rains caught the to-
just as it was getting ready
for the knife and in some sections
the crop is seriously damaged es-
on flat land, while
rally drained land has not suffer-
ed so seriously. Since the heavy
rains of Saturday, and
Mod day we have seen a good
many crops while they are
not damaged as much as we ex-
the cent of firm wrap-
we think is somewhat cut off.
The weather indications show
continued rains during August.
If this should prove true there
is no doubt but that the eastern
crop will be a light, one,
with few wrappers, while if we
have only a moderate amount
of rain fall during the month the
crop will no doubt be a fairly
one- The weather fore-1

of farming is one that a

county would do well to emulate.

He has a patented
churn and butter roller
and with these improvements
is only natural that he makes a
superior article that will always
be in demand and command good
prices.
The second day we had thought
of going to Greene Co., but the
heavy rains had washed up the
bridges so we changed our course
and went over to the Barrett's
Grove picnic. In proportion to
the number of men who went to
the picnic to combine business
with pleasure, the tobacco men
nearly doubled any other- Wilson,
Rocky Mount and Greenville
were all there in big
picnic grounds lying between the
three markets. After dinner we
rode down to Mr. W. R. Home's
and when we had walked over his
tobacco, which is the best crop
that ho has had since 1890, he
took us to the house where a
feast awaited us in the melon
line. After eating all we could
ho gave us a nice mush melon to

THE UNLUCKY THIRTEEN.
It was a plain, every day case
of mutual admiration. He ad-
mired the girl and she admired
him. It as much more than ad-
wore in love with
each other. Of course one was
more so than the other, for it can-
not be otherwise, seeing that
Cupid is born with one leg
than the other. But that is
not an insuperable obstacle to
matrimony. If it were, the mar-
clerk would be com-
to retire from business. So
