A number of its agents the agents also of companies em- braced the Southeastern Tariff and as the Southern Stock Mutual did not propose to cut to conduct itself upon a plan of amity with all companies, it proposed to the Southeastern Tariff Association to pro rate certain local expenses with it the proposition was accepted. A later, however, it received notice from the Tariff Association that it had its purpose, the letter from the secretary going to say that Hi view of the rebate clause in the scheme of the Southern -Mutual it ha i been resolved not to co-operate with it. This was followed by no- to its agents throughout the State that must not act as agents of the Southern Stock Mutual. All this has but one and that is that a North Carolina Co. must net compete with the South- eastern Tariff Association for North Carolina business under penalty of its boycott.

A large number of letters by Charles Lamb, written between 1810 and 1820 to friends in Birmingham, and previously unknown, were re- discovered in a collection of old letters of the first quarter of the century at Birmingham.

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.

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 OTHER SIDE. Let Us Have Some Stories Telling of a Husband's Woes. There are many stories written. wives hungering for their love and living and dying We want a story which will represent the husband hungering for his wife's love and living satisfied for want of it. It is not an uncommon experience. Perhaps the wife is a professional reformer. She is so busy caring for the world that she has no time to care for her household. She ex- ponds all her love on humanity, and has none left for husband. She is a woman with a mission, and her own home is left a foreign missionary field for some one else to cultivate perhaps a grandmother, or loss am- sister. Or she is devoted to society. Receptions, visits, balls, at-homes, so absorb her that she is never at home to her husband and her children. lives on ad- not on love. Or she not know the difference between a housekeeper and a home keeper. The house is admirably and dusted and ordered and regulated with scrupulous nicety. is good cook and an excellent housemaid, a superb servant; but not a wife. She ministers to her husband's stomach and to his eye, but never to his heart. shrinks from a kiss which will disarrange her hair, or an embrace hat threatens to disorder her dross. Or she is of Puritan temper and training. She loves, but knows not how -to say that loves. believes Unit silence is golden, but her husband is a bi- and longs for silver speech. does not know how to say to him, I thank you, and quite unwittingly receives every caress and every courtesy which her j band's love pays to her, as though it wore a debt overdue.

As time wears on and the light is thrown on the acts of the last Legislature it becomes more and more apparent that North Carolina was never cur- with such a set of uses since it had a history as a State. One member writes a letter about the new mortgage law and says he was the father of it and that it was drawn by an ex-Judge and regularly passed by the Assembly. An- other writes a letter and says it never passed, that he saw the Clerk of the House carrying a lot of bills over the Senate, among which this bill was, and that he told him that the bill had not passed the House.

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 is worth more than ten 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. know twelve young men right here in Greenville, first-class business gentlemen, who the respect and confidence of the tire that with an f hundred dollars apiece put a smoking tobacco factory. Young men did you ever think of it this light By aside dollars every month for one year you will money enough to start up a tobacco factory. With twelve energetic men at the head of an 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, oar sister town not SO miles away without taking any 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 reducing the warehouse charges on leaf tobacco numbers numbers of the best farmers of this and other ad- joining counties have voluntarily given us their views on the meas- And we want to say right here before the supporters of the bill engage in any further harsh of those farmers who have expressed themselves op to tho Dill, as has been one to our by some who went so far as to say that the farmers who were op- posed to the bill were bought up and willing tools the ware that a great many of these were strangers to the writer and tho only reason that we can to their com- to us was an account of the active pare that we to the bill. It bitterly unkind, vicious to put such a false accusation on some of the best most thoroughly honest men that we have. Be cause a man just happen to agree with another as to best means of promoting the pub- good it is more than pure downright viciousness to question his motive-, attack his character and accuse of ac- bribes. If there is any reader that believes the men who saw proper to oppose the bill were actuated by other than the purest of motives let him call see this writer some day and he will be with a list of the very suggestion of which will bring the blush of shame to the cheeks of the accuser if he has a spark of manhood left that has not been blighted and extinguished the foul and putrid which seems to predominate his whole nature- We write these lines because the has been circulated that we were going around beg- farmers to sign a petition asking the legislature to pass no legislation regard to this mat- and further that a great many of those who such not only for us but other in this State did so in the interest and of the alone- It is purely on this that we have written the above- In re- to oar action in the matter we have no apology to make to anyone but simply wish to say so far as begging farmers to sign the petition is concerned that is lately false. We explained the bill to a few farmers but the most of our petitioners offered to sign it of their own volition and of those we asked not a single farmer refused to sign it and the list we sent to the was a one of only Pitt but the adjoining The Lights Bothered Them. Several men, who do not live ham, were here not many nights since, and were stopping a house where electric lights were used- When they got ready to retire no one knew how to cat the light so held a con- meeting to see what was the best thing to be done- one of them suggested that he tie his overcoat around the as he expressed it, which was agreed to. This did not shut off all the light, and neither of party could sleep- About o'clock the light went been turned off from that part of the building when one of them remarked, goodness, I hope I will never have to sleep in another room where there in a blamed perpetual motion This is a fact, and the conversation was heard by a in the next room.

Texas might truly be called the in 1850. give them their own chosen and counterfeiters, to say nothing of villains of still blacker grades, were predominant, and as a general thing ruled matters with a high hand. Situated near the bank of one of the confluents of the River Brazos were several owners had chosen to settle together, the 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. When once beyond sigh of the her animal's head was turned toward the hill where stood the out- law stronghold. Approaching she more slowly and nerved herself for the trial. the outlaw bowed; tho well, thank you. Mr. so you know saw you at our house not long since. But I'm very thirsty. Can you tell me where I can get some fresh some fresh in the shanty. I'll git it Mr. please let me go, tool I've got such a curiosity to see what it Is you keep so secret in there.

Surely you do not care what they say I don't be- you are afraid of what they Not he Let me help you to While he placed her a chair and hastened to fetch the water, Mabel took a survey of the room. Her eyes dwelt long on the door- way had This was apparently tho entrance to an underground Then, hearing the steps of the out- law returning, Mabel hastily picked up a tasty morocco belt from the mantel, containing a brace of richly- mounted pistols. Mr. where did you get these They're just what I've been wanting for so long. You must bring them over some time for father to buy for you like you do, they're or else I've eagerly replied Jack, and then, as Mabel hesitated, he clumsily buckled them around bier waist. From step to step she led the out- law on until he repeated offer, and Mabel admirably, that a far more acute than would have been I hardly know.

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 was to arrive about mid- night and rap lightly upon the door. would open, and then, mounting their steeds, were to leave the cabin to care for itself their flight was discovered.

Three men took their beside the entrance with clubbed rifles, while others stood with ready revolvers commanding the doorway. Then George set up a loud cry of The desperadoes flocked to the en- trance, and one after another fell like logs, while the young herder continued his cries.
