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 all commensurate with the out- lay in providing for the same Such questions will occur to all thinking men. It could readily be shown that in the industrial development of the resources of the State, that the agricultural and mechanical pursuits all kinds of easily outrank all others com- Of we have mines, fisheries, lumber interests, etc., which add to wealth of the State- Preachers, teachers, law physicians, bankers, mer- chants, etc., etc-, go to make up the of the population. 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 Sons of Engineers 1-7 per cent. Sons of Bankers 1-7 per cent- Sons of Insurance men per cent. 1-7 percent. Sons of State officers 1-7 per cent. Sons of City officers per Sons of Teachers per cent. Sous of Judges per cent. Sons of Hotel men per cent. Sous of Lumbermen per cent Sons of per cent. Sons of Sundry occupations per cent. The average age of all students during past year was 18.3- Au enlargement of the shops is now being made a dormitory building is under way. The Agricultural and Horticultural Departments are better equipped than ever be- fore- First-rate work is being done in the Chemical Depart while physics and are being taught in a thorough manner. The moral atmosphere of the College is excellent- Tho is gaining ground rapidly- Tho Faculty is made up of gen- of high standing in their respective positions- Everything points to a future of the greatest usefulness, and the people of North Carolina may well be proud of the Agricultural Mechanical College.

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- but enough has been given to answer the question, Is the work of the College practical Our students are drawn from the following sources Sons of Farmers per cent- Sons of Merchants per cent.

Even with- out the encouraging prospect opened to us by tho passage of the new tariff bill, the reductions effected by the committee of which Mr. Sayers is the chairman are therefore as useful as they Let us look at the matter in the light of common sense.

LETTER. President Cleveland wrote the following letter to Representative Catching, of Mississippi, in which ho sets forth his views of the new tariff law. and gives his reasons for not approving the bill. Executive D C, August 1804. 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. Signed tho center of the line and rout tho trusts, tho of the tight will tie easy enough, we will g t free raw material and everything else we want without any 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.

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 ho work tariff reform will be continued by easy graduations and by special reductions from time to time months ago a little book Congress has with its contents entirely of blank pages, was issued and extensively circulated. This el volume created considerable amusement at tho time it was published and was extensively commented upon. Mr. Hall of Minnesota has now turned it to good account by publishing another book exactly lino it title and appearance, with sixteen pages containing a closely print- ed report of his speech on the tariff.

At the Eastern Warehouse last Friday nearly four hundred piles of tobacco were sold in one hour five minutes, and tho book- keepers had every account made out ready for the checks to be drawn when the last pile was knocked off. That was rapid work. Tho tobacco sales last week were tremendous. Fully 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 There near being a col- on the road afternoon. The train run n distance out of Suffolk the engineer saw a heavy log coming meeting him.

The pullet at- tends the biddies and clucks to them during the day, and hovers them at night just like the mother hen. The John Flanagan Buggy Co., have a large advertisement in to- days Reflector- This reliable firm continue the manufacture of reliable vehicles that for excel- comfort and durability can be surpassed nowhere.

It should not be necessary to call attention of the city ties to the weeds that are taking possession of the town. Such a prolific growth of them is a menace to both comfort and health- They could be easily removed with a little work and should be cut down at once.

They report a good time generally- Messrs. Everette and Edwards, prominent planters of Lenoir county were on the breaks last week. They seem ed favorably impressed with prices- 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- son, was on sale last week. He 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- He sold with the Eastern and are glad to say was well pleased. Mr. elegant home ton miles from Greenville is a model of all that makes home life happy. His is truly a homo of the new South type. The warehouse people get up a of all kinds occasionally- One evening last week the writer and Mr. L. F. Evans offered the buyers some amusement swap- ping horses. The proprietor of the Eastern now the horse behind which the parson has done the most of his and Mr. Evans is the proud own of the clay-bank race horse, Bobby the first. 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.

At tho outset French capitalists could only be Induced to supply tho funds needed by the government tho interest and 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.
