THE WILDEST LAND.
Oregon Has the Roughest
Known to Man.
Assistant Chief Goode, of the
United States geological survey,
who visited Oregon last summer,
says the wildest region of the entire
United States is an area of one thou-
sand square miles lying in the
mountains between and
in Douglas and Coos
counties. He describes it as a mys-
undiscovered country, in
which roams undisturbed wild game,
and whose brooks and rivers are
filled with wild fowl. It is nearly
all covered with a dense growth of
pine, fir, hemlock other trees.
Many of the trees are of enormous
size, and stand so closely that it is
difficult for men to make their way
between them. Where the trees are
not so thick the heavy growth of
bushes of various kinds takes their
place. It is a country that is filled
with all kinds of wild game,
as reported to him, elk, differ-
kinds of bear, mountain
deer and other animals, including
lynx and others. There arc also
the varied kinds of fowl. The
streams all have an -abundance
of trout and other kinds of fish. He
penetrated into the wilds a dozen
miles and saw things that filled him
with wonder at the vastness of the
forest, and that anyone should at-

Nina Hundred and Sixty Million Gal-
of Wine.
It was not to be expected that
French vineyards would yield as
rich a harvest in 1894 as they had
done in year as remarkable
for the quantity of wine made,
especially in the Bordeaux, Bur-
and Champaign districts,
whore one gallon is of more value
than ten grown in other parts of the
country, says the London News.
But though the official returns just
published show that the quantity of
wine made during 1894 in France
and Algeria was about
less than in 1893, the total
of 900.000,000 indicates a very
marked increase upon the average of
the previous ten years. The in-
crease extends to nearly all the de-
of Franco in which wine
is grown, though here and there arc
to be found districts which have not
shared in the general improvement,
and in which, as it is safe to as-
the ravages of that redoubt-
able vine post, the
are still
The greatest improvement during
the year was in the districts
bordering on the Mediterranean,
which are noted for the great body
and richness in alcohol of their

and of the central dis-
of Franco; and it will per-

curiously into the destiny of those
growths before they roach the lips of

that there is a fair chance of the
supply of pure wine from France be-
loss restricted than it has been
of late years; for, while there has, as
explained above, been a groat in-
crease during the last two years in
the quantity made, there has been a

manufacture of the liquids made

Ears Clipped for Identification.
Charles Johnson is a colored
oner at the county jail, says
Louisville Courier-Journal. One
peculiarity about Johnson is that no
one can toll how old he is. He looks
to be seventy years of age when he
is quiet, and when he laughs he looks
to be forty. Another peculiarity
about Johnson is that he has only
half an oar on each of his head.
How this happened is not known.
Johnson says that his mother told
him that his master marked him in
that way in slave time so ho
tell him from another boy who looked
test like him. The oars show that
they have been cut off with a knife.

Such men are great reformers in-

by the passage of such a bill it

that he told him that the bill
had not passed the House. The

BI O. L.
In almost every section of the
county new tobacco barns are
going up.
A. load of tobacco is getting to
be an uncommon sight now on
the market.
It is thought that the South
Carolina tobacco crop will be
largely increased this year-
Farmers had better watch their
corks this year and not over crop
themselves. Five well

acres struck at-
Mr. L- E- Dudley, from near
Vanceboro, in Craven county, was
on the market Wednesday with
the last of crop. Mr. Dudley
says there are ten new tobacco
barns now within a mile square of
his Louse.
Mr. J- J- Laughinghouse told
us a evenings ago that from
a crop of ten acres of tobacco
grown by a Mr. from
county, one of his farms
Beaufort sold for
twenty live hundred dollars.
This is the way to make money
out of a tobacco crop.
We were told a few days ago
by a county that
numbers of the tobacco termer
in tint section were not using
commercial fertilizer this year.
Numbers of others were planting
small grain their laud of
tobacco and all were preparing
to make more wheat led bread.
Great complaint is made
by numbers of farmers in almost
section of the on
account of scarcity of plants in
the beds. Many fear that the
seed have rotted in the ground.
However we hope a few days
of sunshine and spring will
forth plants in abundance-
There will be several new ad
to the Greenville
c. market the year- Quite
a number of new men to till
places will be located here.
It seams now that the eyes of the
world are turned to
and the people of the
old town will before very long
see a thriving hustling city grow
up in spite of the of
some of our people a year or so
ago.

enterprise of this kind success
would be almost certain- Labor
is cheap begging for employ
Our tobacco has a
spread reputation and with a
brand to with there is
no question of doubt nut that it
could be made profitable.
We understand that the con
tract has been for the
building of the new warehouse
of Brown and
work will commence in a few
days- This house will be
about yards southeast of
the Greenville warehouse
on the side of the same
street on which all the warehouse
are built. This makes the
tobacco warehouse for Greenville
in the fourth year of the market
which we think is a very clear
demonstration of what we paid a
few years that it was only a
question of time when Greenville
be the leading market of the
east. We understand alt-o that
several more prize houses will be
built during the summer. Let
the good work go, no one will
throw his hat higher or rejoice
more over the success of the
Greenville tobacco market than
this writer.
We are frequently what
effect the tobacco acre-
age in Eastern North Carolina
will have on the price of tobacco
fall. This depends largely
on the quality trade and the
cent of decrease in acreage fur-
up the country. There is
not likely to be any effect upon
the price of good tobacco unless
there is extraordinary good
crop made all over the
which is not hardly probable, and
in that event while fancy prices
may not be obtained for small
piles, yet the all average we
do not think will be much effect
ed and on the whole there will be
much more made on the
crop- For the sale of the com-
grades of tobacco we are de-
pendent on foreign orders and if
they are placed early and ate
heavy, fair prices may be expect
ed, but on the whole it is best to
calculate for low prices on com
goods-
It seems to us that the recent
destructive fires that almost
swept from the face of earth
our beautiful town Kinston,
ought to serve as a strong object
lesson to some of her more for-
neighbors to take proper
steps and prepare well for such
an emergency. Here in Green-
ville at present we no means
of ever extinguishing a fire after
it once gets under the control
of the flames until checked only
for lack of something to born.
What awful, heart-rending havoc
a fire would play should
parts of oar town catch on some
of these windy days. Nothing is
more trouble to imagine than
mad leaping flames of fire beyond
human control, and here we are
in Greenville almost daily leisure
by reading of the con,

steps- oar tn
case it should become necessary.
it no reason on earth why
we should not have a good fire
company and fire engine-
A few days ago we received a
letter from a gentleman living in
in the extreme eastern
portion of Beaufort county asking
us to come down there and see
if their lands were suitable for
tobacco and if they grow it
profitably. In to the
former question we are
to believe that tobacco is a weed
that will grow luxuriously in any
soil in North Carolina from the
smoky sides of the Blue Ridge
Mountains to tho sand washed
beach of Island, bat in
regard to the latter many have
tried, many have failed few
have succeeded very ad
in the cultivation of tobacco, for
it is a crop that requires tin most
careful thought and judgment
from the preparation of the plant
bed till the crop is marketed, and
at no stage during this can
you consider a crop safe till you
have your money for it. As to
the kind of soil which tobacco
should be planted that is a
very little considered now
a days. There was a time not
very long ago only a gray
soil was selected for but
as the cultivation began to spread
necessity forced a many to
iI-- dark land and some of the
brightest tobacco we ever saw
grew on black pine woods land,
so say unhesitatingly that the
former popular idea of selecting
particular soils for tobacco is
rapidly passing Of course
no one will us to
mean that tobacco will amount to
much planted on lands on river or
bottoms and in speaking of
dark soil, land well
is referred to. Hence we have no
but that tobacco would
grow and mature all right on Pun-
go swamp the only serious
difficulty it to us that
would encounter in this
would be the danger of the to
damaging after it was cured
on account of the salt water at-
Since the passage of the bill

pure downright viciousness to

Several men, who do not live

nights since, and were stopping
a house where electric lights
were used- When they got ready
to retire no one knew how to

meeting to see what was
the best thing to be done-
one of them suggested that
he tie his overcoat around the

did not shut off all the light, and

thing ruled matters with a high

Situated near the bank of one of
the confluents of the River Brazos

better to defend themselves and
property.
Their most dreaded enemy and
scourge of the country for miles
around was a daring desperado
known as Jack
Jack and his companions built a
large heavy log house, almost against
a high bank of clay and sandstone, a
few miles distant from the first set
tiers.
But, when the house appeared
completed, work still went on, night
and day, the men working by re-
lays.
And then, at tho end of several
months, the strangers threw off
their masks and appeared their
true colors.
They helped themselves to such
stock as they most fancied, and
when one settler, James re-
a pistol shot shattered his
right arm, and left him a cripple for
life.
The outlaw band grew stronger
and more bold as they encountered
but little resistance.
But king as he was
among his men, had to succumb at
last, and what armed force could not
do the bright eyes and pretty face
of a maiden accomplished.
Mabel was the only
child of the richest stock grower of
the settlement. Her father had
severely by the marauding
outlaws, and was still suffering from
a bad wound before he gave up in
despair.
But one day caught sight
of Mabel and he did not escape with-
out
Knowing that his life was safe
while his men remained to avenge
him he boldly called at the house of
old Cyrus and mace a
proposal.
He offered to cease troubling the
settlement and to protect them from
other outlaws provided Mabel should
become his wife.
The indignant reply of the old man
did not abash him in the least, and
he took his departure, saying that
ha would expect their answer in one
months time.
George was only a poor
herdsman of her father, but he was
true-hearted aid They
learned to love each other, but as
yet it was a secret from the father.
George mustered up courage at
the outlaw's threat and asked the
hand of his employer's daughter.
As soon as his astonishment would
permit, Mr. bade him
gone, adding that if ho would break
up the band of desperadoes he might
then renew his proposal.
The young folks managed to meet,
and out of their despair grew a set-
plan.
As a first Mabel one day
mounted her horse and rode down
the creek.

Day after day passed on, and while
outwardly events pursued their usual
course, Mabel's plot v as i
rapidly.
Indeed, it required all her skill
and tact to keep Jack In
proper subjection.
But she was equal to the task,
and, once fairly started in the
scheme, she experienced a strange,
wild pleasure in duping the
outlaw.
George had taken his employer in-
to their confidence, and had selected
several others whom he knew to be
trustworthy, and upon whose aid he
relied at the moment of action.
The outlaw chief had at length
her, with great apparent
difficulty, to consent, to an elope-
According to their plans Jack
was to appoint himself as
guard upon that particular night.
Only one man was needed at any
time to act as such, for the cabin
was so strongly built that an en-
trance could scarcely be effected by
force even if undefended.
But with half a score stout
lows at hand they could, as they
thought, effectually defy any force
that might be brought against
them.

Mabel and George, leading their
five companions, fully armed and re-
solved to conquer at all risks, rode
out from the settlement and pro-

The men crept as close to the door
as they dared to, crouching low down
in the shade. Then Mabel advanced

Like a hungry panther, George

Then the settlers noiselessly en-

lamps until all within was light as
day.
The heavy slab door leading Into
the vault was partially closed and
secured. Three men took their

clubbed rifles, while others stood

the doorway.
Then George set up a loud cry of
