NORTH CAROLINA COLLEGE OF
AGRICULTURE AND ME-
ARTS
is It Undertaking to Do, and
What is it Doing
In the capacity of a committee,
appointed by the Board of
tees for such purpose, we are glad
to put the College before
public.
The institution has now com.
plated its fifth year- Its develop-
may be best noted by the
number of students matriculating
each in the
first. in second. in the
third, in the fourth, and
in the fifth year.
The scheme of education, as
decided on in the beginning, has
not been changed, but it has been
enlarged. It was on
the methods of the past. It is
true that some of our institutions
of learning contemplated certain
industrial features in the begin-
of their career, but these
features were, however, soon
abandoned.
The College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts promised the
youth of the State an education
which could be procured at no
other institution in North Caro-
; an broad and
thorough in its basis, omitting the
classics and metaphysics, but in-
the principles of
by skilled labor, with the
essentials of development and
improvement in such things as
constitute the basis of all true
prosperity to the commonwealth.
A brief glance at the
will, perhaps, exemplify
the work undertaken in the be-
ginning, and now carried on in
the several departments of the
College. The intelligent reader
can judge whether such work
promises practical results, and
then will carefully consider how
much has accomplished in
this short time as detailed below.
See if it does not promise well
for the State.
A four years course is
to graduation ; but
courses are being prepared for
special cases.
in the first year the course is
not elective, but arbitrary. In
the second year the student must
decide which of several courses
he will take, Agriculture,
or Mechanics. The
dents in the Agricultural course,
however, are allowed one more
year in Mathematics-
The Agricultural course em-
braces tho theory and practice of
advanced and economical farm-
drainage, improvement of
land, crops, care of stock and cat-
feeding for beef, and butter
making, creameries, etc. In this
general division Horticulture is
Attention to orchards
and small fruits, gardening and
practical forestry and
botanical in vest i
with or without micro
This division contains, as
also do others, a good in
English history, mathematics,
physics, and chemistry, pure and
agricultural, and in bookkeeping.
The Scientific course includes
all mob studies as lead to tho B.
S- degree- But in this Institution
the student must take much
work in laboratories along
with the course, the botanical
work in tho Senior year of this
course leading into Bacteriology.
The Mechanical course includes
the technical study of buildings
and materials, steam
all kinds of steam machinery,
graphic statics, bridges and roofs,
and applied mechanics generally.
To these studies the
course adds a four years course
English in pure and applied
mathematics, a course in history,
in physics and electrical
in chemistry, and in
moral science.
The practice work of the
course consists of the use of all
sorts of tools, of forging and
and making iron tools, of
the use of the various machines
in wood turning and
of machine work in iron, to-
with a thorough course in
mechanical drawing,
drawing, surveying, civil en-
work in physical and
electrical laboratories, etc.
In the College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts it is not de-
signed to teach single trades or
occupations. Especial reference
may be had to some particular
line of work, but the student who
desires to graduate must take the
entire course in one of the three
departments, and thus obtain a
good knowledge of the principles
underlying all of the work
taught-
It will probably be asked, is the
work of the College practical
Is the worth of the education at

lay in providing for the same

thinking men. It could readily
be shown that in the industrial

Yet it will be readily conceded
that all products upon which
mankind, the professions and all
trades, subsist come as the result
of manual labor, which, therefore-
should be well trained and direct-
ed. As a matter of course only a
fraction of the population can
learn to be experts, but these can
of the greatest service in
and directing others.
Therefore the question natural-
will be asked, if ample
ties are already afforded to so
many of the youth of the State,
so far as purely mental acquire

is gaining ground rapidly-

points to a future of the greatest
usefulness, and the people of

doubtless be admitted that such

fit the youth of any people to be
good citizens and true men-
RESULTS.
A period of time, counted by
only graduating classes, is
hardly sufficient to judge of re-
The first graduating class left
the College in June, 1893. It
consisted of nineteen members.
Of these , three are farming, one
is in charge of dairy at
farm to J. S-
Carr, one is in of
machinery in the new Deaf
and Dumb State School in
one is in a
largo factory in Nashville, one is
engineer in a similar place in this
State, three took post-graduate
work at the A- M- College and
are retained there as instructors-
one is chemist at the State Ex,
Station, one is in charge
of the machinery on a dredge
boat in Florida, one is in the
milling business in Salem with
Fries Brothers, is a
man in Wilmington, one is teach
mathematics the State
School for the Blind, one is teach-
in the school, one is
merchandising, one is taking
postgraduate work, and one is
employed at home.
In the second year there were
eight graduates, four of whom
were already employed when they
graduated.
Fourteen students are spending
their vacation in putting up
buildings on the College grounds
and in the six are
spending their vacation studying
chemistry, and others are
making themselves
useful at home or elsewhere.
It will be, perhaps, readily ad-
that boys who have been
well grounded in English studies,
in mathematics, and in scientific
studies generally, and who are
enabled to perform such work as
above named, will make useful
citizens.
Of course a longer time must
be permitted to make up a fair
opinion as to the work of the Col-

to answer the question, Is the

the Republic in party will have a

they will have Republican col-

The Republicans will then have
forty votes, the Democrats forty-

of whole number of Senators,

call no time within the genera-
when economy was more de-

operation of the act
has not been satisfactory. The
result is that with a constant and
legitimate growth of necessity for
public expenditure and a tariff
arrangement that did not yield
the needed revenue, we have been
gradually approaching a
of bankruptcy. Even with-
out the encouraging prospect
opened to us by tho passage of
the new tariff bill, the reductions
effected by the committee of

factor in politics than he has eyer
before been in the South- At the
late election in Alabama he voted
almost for the democratic
nominees, as against the fusion
ticket of white republican bosses
and populists.
In North Carolina many
voted local democratic tick-

did so as a matter of preference.
The majority of are

ticket, but where there is no re-

their rights have been as much
respected under democratic rule
as under any ether. They have
much cause to feel grateful to
democrats for the schools and
charitable institutions that their
race has enjoyed in this State at
the hands of democratic
bodies.

rights of tho people of tho State

LETTER.
President Cleveland wrote the

Catching, of Mississippi, in
which ho sets forth his views of
the new tariff law. and gives his
reasons for not approving the bill.

L. C-
My Dear the con-
I had with you and Mr.
Clark, of Alabama, a few days
ago, in regard W on
the tariff bill now before mo, I
have given tho subject further
and most serious consideration.
The result is I am more settled
than ever in tho determination to
allow the bill to become a law
without my signature.
When the formation of
which it was hoped would
embody Democratic ideas of Tar-
Reform was lately entered
upon by Congress, nothing was
further from my anticipation
than a result which I could not
promptly and enthusiastically
endorse.
It is, therefore, with a feeling of
the utmost disappointment that I
submit to a denial of the
I do not claim to be better than
the masses of my party, nor do I
wish to avoid any responsibility
which, on account of the passage
of this law. I ought to boar as a
member of the Democratic or-
Neither will I permit
myself to be separated from my
party to such an extent as might
be implied by my veto of
which, though disappointing
is still chargeable to Democratic
effort. But there are provisions
in this bill which are not in line
with honest tariff reform, and it
contains inconsistencies and
which ought not to appear
in tariff laws or of any kind.
Resides, there were, as you and
well know, incidents accompany-
the passage of the bill
through the Congress, which
matte every sincere t riff reform-
unhappy, while influences
rounded it in its latter stages and
interfered with its final
which ought not to be
or tolerated in Democratic
tariff reform counsels. And yet,
notwithstanding all its
and all the hard treatment it
received at the hands of pretended
friends, it presents a vast
to existing conditions.
It will certainly lighten many
tariff burdens that now rest
upon the people. It is not
only a barrier against tho return
of mad protection, but it furnish-
es a vantage ground from which
must be waged further aggressive
operations against protected
monopoly and government fa.-
I take my place with rank
and file of tho Democratic party
who believe in tariff reform and
who know what it is, who refuse
to accept the results embodied
in this till, as the close of the
war, who are not blinded to the
livery of Democratic
the places where tho deadly light
of treason has blasted the
of tho hour of
might.
The trusts and combinations
the communion of see
machinations have prevented us
from reaching tho success we
deserved, this should not be for-
gotten nor forgiven. We shall
recover from our astonishment at
their exhibition of power, and if
then the question is forced upon
us whether they shall submit to
the free legislative will of the
peoples representatives, or shall
dictate the laws which the people
must obey, we will accept and
settle that issue as one involving
the integrity and safety of
can institutions.
I love the principles of true
Democracy because they are
founded in patriotism and upon
fairness toward all interests. I
am proud of my party
because it is conservatively
sturdy and persistent in the en-
of its principles. There-
fore I do not despair of the
forts made by the House of Re-
to supplement the
bill already passed by further leg-
and to have
upon it such modifications as will
more nearly meet Democratic
hopes and aspirations-
I cannot be mistaken as to tho
necessity of free raw materials as
tho foundation of logical and sen-
tariff reform. The extent to
which this is recognized in the
legislation already secured is one
of its encouraging and redeem-
features, but it is vexatious
to recall that while free coal and
iron ore been denied us, a
recent letter of the Secretary of
tho Treasury discloses the fact
that both might been free
by the annual surrender of only
about of unnecessary
I am sure that there is a com-
habit of underestimating the
importance of free raw materials
in tariff legislation, and of regard-
them as only related to con-
cessions to be made to our man-
The truth is, their
is so far reaching that
if disregarded a complete and
beneficent of tariff re-
form cannot successfully in-
When give to our
free material we
American enterprises and
and those will open the doors
of foreign markets to the
ion of our wares and give
for the continuous and
remunerative employment of
American labor-
With materials cheapened by
their freedom from tariff charges
the cost of their product must
be correspondingly cheapened.
Thereupon justice and fairness to
the consumer would demand that
the manufacturers be obliged to
submit to such a readjustment
and modification of the tariff
upon their finished goods as
would secure to the people the
benefit of the reduced cost of
their manufacture, and shield the
consumer against the exaction of
profits.
It will thus be seen that tree
raw material and a just and fear-
less regulation and reduction of
the tariff to meet the changed
conditions would carry to every
humble home in the land, the
blessings of increased comfort
and cheaper hying. Tho millions
of our country men who have
fought bravely and well for tariff
reform, be exhorted to con-
the struggle boldly,
to open warfare and
constantly guarding against
treachery and half in
their camp. Tariff reform will
not be settled until it is
and fairly settled in the interest
and to the benefit of a patient
and long suffering
Yours truly.

As u rule, all Democrats who
really believe tariff reform, and
there are few, very few, who do
not, strongly commend President
Cleveland's letter to Mr.
and predict that it will do
more to keep the Democrats
control of the House than any
one document that will be a
tor in the campaign.
President Cleveland does not
intend to return to Washington
until October, unless something
of great public importance now
shall make it
for him to do so. In the
meantime no public business will
be neglected, as he has arranged
to have all matters requiring his
official attention forwarded to
Gray Gables where with the as-
of private secretary
Thurber, an executive office will
be maintained.
Secretary will not be
able to take extended vacation
this year, as there will be many
questions arising out of the ad-
ministration of the new tariff
law that will require his personal
attention and which delay in
would seriously
many business men- The
condition of the Treasury is
much better than it has been at
the end of any month recently,
and the probabilities are all in
favor of a continued improve-
owing to the increase in
receipts under the new tariff.
All of the other members of tho
cabinet will take vacations. Sec-
Herbert went away last
week, combining business with
recreation by making a tour of
the Atlantic coast navy yards;
Secretary Lamont left with Pres-
Cleveland, and will remain
in New York for several weeks
Secretary Gresham expects to get
away in a few days for a month's
stay, a portion of which will be
spent in Indiana and a portion
fishing; Attorney General
has gone to Boston and the three
or four weeks he expects to be
away will be spent in and near
that city ; Secretary Smith, who
has already been to the seashore
for a few days, will spend two
weeks in Postmaster
General has gone to
where he will meet Mrs. Bis-
sell and decide where his vacation
shall be spent, and Secretary
Morton will delay his departure
until the middle of September,
when he will go to Europe.
Washington hasn't had a
chance to miss Congress yet.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
our Regular
Washington, D. C-, Sept.
Chairman Wilson, before
Washington, took occasion to
express his opinion freely con-
the effect of President
Cleveland's letter to
Catchings upon the
campaign. Mr. Wilson en-
every word said in that
also the action of the
President in allowing tho tariff
bill to become a law without his
signature, and believes the
letter will be of much service in
preventing lukewarmness of tariff
reformers towards Democratic
candidates. Mr- Wilson also dis-
posed most effectually of the Re-
publican argument that the prom-
of additional tariff reform in
the future, which the President
made m his letter, meant another
general tariff bill and its
upsetting of business.
Concerning this far-fetched

commented upon. Mr. Hall of
Minnesota has now turned it to
good account by publishing
another book exactly lino it

pages containing a closely print-
ed report of his speech on the
tariff. At the close of this sec-

pounds were on Friday's breaks
and then all that come was not
on the floors. All the
and the buyers were a
happy looking set of men, and
they made the farmers happy,
too. by shooting their weed to
good prices. Greenville is
right ahead as tho best mar-
in the State.
For tho week ending Aug.
the sales on the Greenville to-
market were as follows
Greenville Warehouse,
pounds for Planters
Warehouse, pounds for
; Eastern Warehouse,
pounds for making
a total for the three houses of
pounds for
This is the largest sale ever made
during a week in August on any
market in Eastern North Carolina,
and with very few exceptions
planters were well pleased. This
market has about twenty buyers,
all anxious for tobacco at good
prices.
We met Mr. R. W. Alexander,
a young farmer of Lenoir county,
on the breaks here Friday, and
he gave us his in to-
culture. He got married
about two years ago, bought on
credit acres of land of w
only acres were built
him a house that would do to
live in and settled down to work.
In this time he has more of
his land, built two tobacco barns,
a large pack and other
necessary buildings about his
place, and by the time he gets
through soiling this year's
will finish paying for his farm
and have left. He makes
all his sales on this market.
A Close Call

coming meeting him. Quicker
than it takes to tell it. he applied
air brakes to his train, re

the nearest siding. It seems the
log train was trying to make
folk before the pulled
out but missed it a few minutes.
and the crew of the latter did not
know it was coming. Quick work
on the part of the engineer
averted a disaster. There were
several passengers on the

Who says raising tobacco does
not pay. Mr. Jas- H. Hardy, a
young man living just below
Greenville, stated last Sunday
that he had sold three barns of
tobacco at the Eastern warehouse
for over tour hundred dollars.
That clever gentleman and
successful grower of fine Pitt
wrappers, Mr- Harvey Ty-

had a load tobacco for a neigh-
and was we are pleased to
well pleased with prices.
Messrs. G- M. Tucker and
Henry Edwards have opened a
grading room for the purpose of
handling their
es. They are dealing largely.
It is needless to say it is only a
question of time when they will
succeed in their undertaking,
for they know no such word as
fail.
Hon. John S. Harris, who by
the way, raises some of the finest
tobacco grown in the county,
came down with a load last week-

We notice in an estimate of
this years crop that tho Southern
Tobacconist of Richmond
that Greenville will sell only
one million five hundred thousand
pounds this year. Surely the
tor has never visited our place.
We shall easily handle aside
from all somewhere
between three and four million
pounds. The tobacco is here, we
have plenty of buyers, new ones
coming by nearly every train,
ample banking facilities to pay
for every pound. Hence there is
no reason why should
not sell the entire crop that
justly belongs to be, if hard
work, fair dealing, plenty
will manage the crop, and there
is no doubt but what it will. If
the editor of the Tobacconist will
visit our coming of the
Golden we will show by
actual figures that he has placed
his estimate too low, that his fig-
can safely be multiplied by
two.
We have always heard it said,
a fool rope enough and
he'll hang Ac, Ac, and
we believe it a pretty true saying,
but there were about three first-
class fools down here the other
day. One was well, he
said he was a drummer from
Rocky Mount, N- C He follow-
ed along on one or two of the
sales at the warehouses and
stated tobacco was selling from
to cents per pound higher in
Rocky Mount than here. While
we always sympathize with the
ignorant we have the utmost con-
tempt for downright cussedness.
The man who made the above
statement knew at the time he
was stating what was entirely
true. Tobacco, as every one
knows, has been selling well, ex-
well since the opening
breaks 1st- As evidence
that Greenville is paying as
much as Mount,
customers of the
Mount warehouses have been
patronizing Greenville this sea-
son, and from the way prices are
ranging will continue selling
here- As to the other two we'll
let them alone for the present,
for they will soon wander into
the river of contempt so deep
that no life boat can
them.

The history of the French railway
companies Is decidedly interesting.
At tho outset French capitalists
could only be Induced to supply tho
funds needed by the government

of the sum to be invested. At
the same time absolute monopolies
wore given for the different districts
for ninety-nine years, after which
the lines were to become the prop-
of the state. The consequence
of the policy pursued has been that
practically tho whole railway system
of France Is vested in six groat com-
