I seldom wear gloves, even in your winters, and much of the time I go without an overcoat. For many years followed the sea, and I had one adventure that few would have lived to tell of. It was a midnight of December when I was ordered aloft to stow the main royal, and before I know what I was about I fell from the yardarm into the sea. one deck had noticed my fall, and apparently no one had heard my cry, for tho ship kept on. There was, with heavy boots and a heavy coat, alone amid the waves of the Atlantic. You may not believe me, but I did not feel greatly alarmed. I managed to get out of my boots and coat, and then T began to swim to keep myself afloat. Somehow I felt that I should be saved. We had passed a vessel about sunset, and thought she'd come along and pick me up. I had been a good swimmer all my life, and I kept afloat till daybreak, when that other vessel did come along and me out, four hours after I fell in. We got Into New York three days after my ship arrived, and when I came aboard, as she lay at her wharf, my mates took me for a NO TIME. A Writer's Interpretation of Oft-Repeated Expression.

Repairing an Ocean It is said that one submarine cable la laid at a depth of feet. But there are at least three cables work- at a depth of nearly feet and four in about The vast majority lie In water about feet deep or less. Repairing a cable is hard work. The apparatus has also to be at sensitive and strong. As is generally known, the repairing steamer proceeds to the point where calculation shows the brake or damage to have happened and then lowers a grapnel, which It slowly drags across the route of the cable at right angles. As soon as a tension on the grapnel rope is noted, due to catching the cable it has hooked, great have to be lest the precious treasure-trove slip off at any stage of its journey up to daylight.

THE REFLECTOR Greenville, N. C. B. J, Editor Entered at the Greenville N. C-, as mail matter. In several States municipal elections were held the first of this week. The weather seems to have been unfavorable for Democrats.

The new charter of Raleigh does not exempt property from taxation. It makes no difference for what purpose it is held- All the church proper and the property of all societies is taxed just as other property- The pie of the Capital are very over the matter. It is hard to imagine evil which the legislature could have done which they did not do. how do him occasionally. Gran.

It looks like the Senatorial con- test in the Delaware Legislature is going to hang on indefinitely. They continue to ballot every day without arriving at any result. The outlook now is that there will not be any great interest in the town election to be held the first Monday in May. The new town charter which was put through the Douglas Leg- changes the wards so that the control of municipal affairs can be taken out of the hands of Democrats and over to Republicans. the outcome of this is to be can- not now be predicted with any degree of certainty, but judging from the way Republicans have always managed things where- ever they had control not much good can be hoped for.

Mr. Cook had no com mission and an unusual proceeding a Judge to Some of the Fusion clan headed by Richmond Pearson are in Raleigh trying to do something to relieve the Leg from the odium that has come upon it from the pas- sage of the mortgage law So far they have only been able to arrive at the conclusion that it was passed by the Clerks, or somebody, don't know who. They don't want to fix this on any of their own but they can't connect any- body with the transaction. The original bill as introduced by Mr. Smith, of Stanly, has been found, and shows that he had a clause excepting cash borrowed at time of the i and also for supplies, but the Committee, whose chairman was the struck out this ind left the bill as it now stands. So it will be seen when introduced by a Dem- it was all right and pro the farmer, but when got a chance at it out these excepting clauses and gave its present distinctive effect. This would look as if they did intend it to apply to all trans- actions. Mr. Pearson first tried to get Gov Carr to call the Leg- to together to repeal the act, but the Governor would not even consider the proposition, so Pears m, Walser ft Co. are hanging around the WASHINGTON LETTER our Regular April, 1895. The Treasury is to-day in bet- condition than it has been at any time since the present came power. For some time there has been a steady increase in receipts, both from customs and revenue, and they are expected to continue to increase light along Not the least gratifying thing about the situation is that it is now certain that no extra session of Congress will have to be called, even if the Supreme Court decides against income tax, unless something now entirely unexpected shall mane it The Treasury will have ample money to pay all claims, and the arrangement made with the syndicate which bought the last issue of bonds has so far worked like a charm in keeping the gold in the Treasury.

Having rear ed in a tobacco field I have had ample opportunity to this as well as other diseases the plant in question. several causes for this disease, few of which can be remedied under any circumstances. The main c use, however, is in the way the guano is used on the land. To prevent specks from appearing on the leaf, however poor the land, not more than one hundred pounds of guano should be used to the hills, or four hundred pounds to the acre. This should be drilled in the furrow, when dropped in the hill a less amount should be used On strong land ninety pounds is sufficient. Too much manure will make it speck, or in a wet or dry season. There is what we call the weather which can be avoided only by thoroughly draining the land. As a proof of weather notice that this is first seen in springy places, or near where water stands. In these wet places it is better to co with a as you would corn so that the water will sink to middle of row. Now, it is to sup pose that breaking up the roots in plowing is against nature and will not only check growth in tobacco but in any plant. So with each plowing get a . little further from it so as not to tear up the roots as make their way to middle of row. By so doing not only specks or but burning, or firing, at bottom of plant will frequently be vented. C. M. Billings. MEETING.

These points are well worth weighing in any sort of work, but The Tobacco Department. Conducted by O. L. Joyner, Proprietor Eastern Tobacco Warehouse Florida is developing into a fine cigar tobacco state. Work has commenced on the new warehouse. It will be by The cool nights that we are having are very bad on young tobacco plants. We hear that in some sections of the county the young tobacco plants seem to be f on the bed. Bight now is the time to do most of the cultivation of a co crop in the thorough of the soil- Mr. Harrison, who on this market since Aug- last, left last week for his home in county- Quite a of new buyers are expected to locate on this market next year. Some are now making about lo- here. We sincerely hope to see a smoking tobacco factory in vie another year. Green- ville could support one better any town we know of. Every farmer should constitute his farm an experiment station of which he is the director. By this the highest attainments of agriculture can easily to reached. Some of the most successful tobacco growers that we have and those after whom it is well to pattern agree that a thorough preparation of the soil is the most important stage of the Would it not be a profitable in- vestment for some of our mer- chants to build a smoking co factory Start it at first on a small scale and if the trial proves a success enlarge it to meet the requirements of the trade. In these times of low prices and small profits, it requires the most careful thought and to make much money on a farm and unless system and is exercised the debit side of the P. and L- account will be the larger. We have frequently been asked what causes tobacco to We don't know and don't think many do. Certain it is the ab from the soil of some which is required to make a healthy plant- Deep disturbing the top root will vent it, it is said. One of the most pleasant rides that we ever took with a male was made last week from this place to the home of Mr. J. J. Laugh- in company with Pat Gorman. The weather was did the atmosphere serene and Pat, as he almost always is, was in a jolly mood and made the time pass most delightfully pleasant- Did yon ever think of it how many millions are fed and cloth- ed and how many have the of life provided them out of the one commodity, tobacco, and yet it is not a necessity but rated with the luxuries- At any rate the English people think so when they have to pay out a dollar a pound for all they use. Just at this time farmers cannot give too much thought and to a thorough preparation of their tobacco land. If the land is thoroughly pulverized young toots of the tobacco have no trouble in penetrating the soil and getting the full of all ma can--, then again they will grow to a much greater depth in search of water in case of a when the land is thoroughly prepared. In any direction one may travel for twenty-five miles from Green- ville, and in no section in the State will he find agricultural lands bet tor adapted to diversified than here- No town in the State of North Carolina to-day has a better back ground or a brighter future than as it is with very best of to land, fine truck and fruit laud and last, but by means least, there are within a of twenty five miles Greenville of the finest grain and past- lands in America Here with a little experience our farmers could in a few years be placing of stock upon the mar- instead of buying western hay and even seed oats every spring they could be selling these same products upon the markets of the world. And for Greenville what all of this mean. It means an amazing increase in its population brought about by It means an increase in its commercial inter course with the outside world which will open up new fields of business and new channels for employment- It means While the decreased acreage in in the old tobacco bolt of this State and Va, may be doubt is equal to the increase in ac- in the eastern counties yet it is not a nice policy for our farmers to go into a big crop expecting fancy or even standard prices for medium or inferior to- for they will be surely dis- appointed. Money out of a to- crop for the east farm- as time and ice has often demonstrated, lies in production of a fine crop. Good tobacco never goes begging even at stiff prices while it is a hard matter to cell common tobacco at any price. We learn that Mr- E. M. Pace, who for the past Tour years has been connected with the Wilson tobacco market, will be located on this market next year with Messrs. Brown Mr. Pace is probably one of the old- est tobacco men in experience in the state. Years ho he what is to day as the tales system on the Dan- ville, Va., market.

Straws show which way the winds blow, and if Paco had not seen the superior advantages of he could never have been induced to leave Wilson to come here.

A UNIQUE WEDDING. The Justice Married Hi Couple In the Dark. A marriage in inky darkness of a vault is something decidedly unique, but that is the sort of a wedding that occurred in the court- house recently, says the Kansas City Times. About eleven o'clock a fine-looking young man and two decidedly good- looking and stylishly-dressed young women entered the recorder of office and asked for a marriage and one was issued to Dray and Viola Roderick. They said the marriage was to be a prise, and requested that nothing be said about the granting of the Then they consulted and finally asked if they could be married right there. Recorder hastened to and called up Justice Before the justice arrived word had passed around that a was to occur, and the room was tilled with guests. The groom did not relish this, neither did the bride, neither did the bride's sister, who was of the party. The door to the large vault where the records are kept stood invitingly open, and the groom step in and the party entered the vault. It was brilliantly lighted and filled with the dull of musty records. The bride glanced about, frightened a bit, but then looked at the groom and smiled sweetly. The groom, evidently a brave man, was not as nervous as the justice, who fumbled to get from his pocket a paper upon which he had written the words of a simple marriage The door was shut softly be- hind the party, and the wedding was screened from curious eyes. The justice was get ting along fair- well, and had just reached that part in the ceremony where he asked the couple to join hands, when something happened. One of the clerks had to the switch- board and turned oil the lights in the vault. Everything was as black as darkest midnight. The bride and groom could not see each other. The justice could not see them. It was no time to stop or falter, however. her said justice, and the hands came together as though they bad met in the dark before. the authority vested in me by the law I pronounce you man and It was over, and Mr. and Mrs. Dray came out into the light of day happy as though they had been mar- in the noonday glare of a thou- sand suns. A Valuable Opinion. The two girls were talking. As girls talk. was of the impetuous, type whose blood flies to the cheek, whose eyes snap and whose tongue is sharp as a razor. The other was as the placid ocean; profound, solemn, silent, lowing deep far out from shore and coming in upon the silver sands as noiseless as the dew falls upon the flowers at night. They were talking about men and their ways, a subject of unceasing interest to women in their teens or beyond. The face of the impetuous one was flushed and there was the evidence of her manner. she exclaimed with a warning and threat in her tone, like to see a man kiss The eyes of the other one closed softly against the dazzling flash of those of her companion, and a gentle glow came to her face. she answered, dreamily. I don't care whether I see the man or not. It is so perfectly lovely anyway that I never think about the Detroit Free The Boy Knew His Business.

The subjects of the experiments were weighed every day, but, to the astonishment, they gained flesh instead of losing it. It was some time before he found out that Prof. had been keeping them well with food.
