TOBACCO NOTES. BY O. I. The Democratic Congressional com- elected its old officers, Senator Faulkner, of West a., chairman, and Lawrence Gardner, of Washington, Secretary, and appointed a committee of five, of which Representative Hutch- of Texas was made chairman, to select members of the committee from those Mates which have a solid delegation in Congress. At the joint Congressional caucus which the members of the campaign committees the was almost unanimous that the Democrat have more than a fighting chance to elect a a majority of the next House, members of the campaign are going to work with the intention of do- so if possible. The people of tobacco town are preparations to have a water sup- ply. The funds have been raised and Messrs J. W. Morgan, G. P. Fleming and Oscar Hooker have been appointed a committee to have the work The eastern tobacco crop is now almost a the past, that is so far as affecting the sales he east- markets is concerned- Nearly all of it has been sold, though we under, stand that there are some men on some of the eastern markets who for the of trying to retain certain orders have reported that there is yet a good deal unsold. I do not believe there is one per cent of tobacco still in the hands in Carolina. With the wring another year, there will be a largely increased demand There are now nine as a President Cleveland is not worrying over the silly criticism in connection with the recent arrests of Cuban busters. Only those ignorant of law make these criticisms. As well might a city or county officer refuse to serve a warrant which has been sworn out against a criminal as for United States officials to refuse to arrest when they are pointed out by the Span- minister in of their easily from the United State in de- neutrality laws. Should this government refuse to make these arrests Spain would be in a position to claim enormous money damages from the United States, and the claim would be allowed by an international court. be remembered by all. The of known filibusters is not a of sympathy, but of dollars cents. The President is fully aware that of the people of this country sympathize with the Cubans, there is little doubt that he does, too, but he is too honorable a man to let that inter- with his duty, lie the inter- est of the United States to look out for first. It is altogether that after Congress shall have finished its speech making about Cuba and decided in what form its opinion shall be ex- that President Cleveland will have his say in the matter, less that his say will meet the of he country. Much is being said about a con- held in City be- tween Ed. Chambers Smith, Butler, Mott and Peebles, with W. H. Day also in the city. The object of the meeting seems to been the by effecting a fusion of the Democrats and Populist, the above gentlemen it. be good tat places or their sacrifices. is amusing to think of these honorable gentlemen consulting even about the State, and it is still more to think Ed. Chambers, and Captain being lip there ready to turn over the Democrat- party to the Populists, provided the Slid two gentlemen were, cared for. The whole thing is ridiculous. The Democratic part is not something that is merchantable, and if it were the con. tractors for the side would have to differ in several respects from these Tho real object of meeting is apparent. Butler these two and invites them to him. lots of favorable prop, mad . These patriots come much elated over the honor that will coat- to u lieu, they have when tor prize room prize houses in Greenville and matter of tact these will not for the market another season. All during last summer, we were crowded for prise room and while nearly all the buyers have managed to get along yet it has been a bad make out and sacrifices have been made In enter to make room. During the year Greenville ha sold five million pounds and too, was marketed principally from 1st to January 1st, which necessitated the of more room than if we hail been all the year that amount. The present indications are main increase in the tobacco acreage in tern North Carolina this year will be in the territory and south-east of Greenville, the natural back of the Greenville market, with and the natural presumption that the market will crease its sales from the territory Pitt and Greene counties the Wilson line we can naturally expect II seven or eight million pounds here next year. With these well grounded prospects for the in- creased business of tho market we should most certainly begin in time to make sufficient prostrations to take care of the crop. I have talked a good many dealers and exporters of the weed since January and they all have a preference for Greenville, over an of the other eastern markets. If inducement is offered these people I have assurance that they will come to Greenville themselves, if they do not come then they will nave some one to represent them and they will want prize houses in which to handle their stocks.

It is known that of members of the Commit. tee on Foreign Affairs have from the first believed that any action taken by this country in the direction of extend- aid to Cuba will be followed by an Overt act of war from Spain. There is, without question, some foundation for belief. It is not expected Spain will allow the island of Cuba to be noted from h-r without a struggle- Such a course would undoubtedly re- in the overthrow of the Spanish Government. Some demonstration of resistance will have to be and this may be directed against this Government. The Span- Government might, indeed, regard it good policy to engage in a conflict with this country order to divert the attention of its own people from inter- troubles. There are some persons in the United States who think that a war might be. a good thing in t List try for the -nine reason. The of Spain for prosecuting a war with the United States has ready been thoroughly canvassed, To guard the miles of Cuban coast line she has now some sixty-one vessels service, but the great majority of these would he easy prey for United States gunboats. In fact, many of. these small ships would have to be withdrawn, and it would be practically impossible for the coast to be thorough- patrolled. There are hundreds of harbors which afford safe landing points, and either a volunteer army from this country or the regular troops he placed with comparative upon tho island. As to the outcome of the war there is no question. The United States would be victorious and Cuba would at least be from Spain. While England would probably not be pleased to see Spain loose Cuba, her interference is not anticipated. France might render some assistance to Spain, because the Hank of France holds nearly all the Cuban bonds, the possibilities of tills complication has also been considered. The gravity of the question is not disguised.

Wednesday evening as the fair ex train was passing slowly by a flag station just below Ayden, some miscreant threw a brick at the train. The heavy missile struck the upper glass of a window to one of coaches, against the inner Hind which was partially lowered and saved it from coming inside the coach. But for the brick striking so high doubtless some in the coach would have badly hurt. Miss Lizzie Spain sat nearest to the window, Mr. J. V. Johnson lie other portion of the seat. Fragments of the glass flew the young lady, but fortunately she received no injury. The conductor was engaged an- other part of the train at time and did not learn of the occurrence until train had gone a mile or two be- He said the railroad ties would send a man down to try and ascertain who threw the brick. We hope the search for the miscreant will prove successful and that he will be justly punished. Superior Court. The March term of Pitt Superior Court convened Monday. Judge T. Boykin presiding.

B- Boylan Typhoid Causes Treatment. The causes of Typhoid fever are not, we believe, fully agreed upon by the medical profession. The germ theory is the one generally accepted germs, it is claimed, are transmitted in the main through the water we drink. How they are propagated is an- other question, and here the differ. This disease is often prevalent and very fatal in sections where the water is freest from pollution, as for instance in the mountain sections of Stale. Regarding treatment, we find the following very interest- article in the Charleston News and Courier A new treatment for typhoid is reported. T e method em ployed, it is explained rather is that is the temperature of the patient is low artificially and sleep and are employed to build up con- that the fever is working down. The patient, instead of being allowed to for twenty- one days burning to death at a temperature of plus, is taken at the first stages of the fever and given cold baths, not plunged into ice cold water, but put in a bath about blood heat and ice water gradually added till the tempera- of the patient, which is taken constantly with the thermometer, goes down to normal. Then the patient is removed from the bath, thoroughly dried and wrapped in blankets and given a little to induce a healthy Then the sick one falls off into a quiet natural sleep, which will last from half an hoar to three hours, and at the end of that time, when the temperature rises to fever heat again, it is reduced by another bath. This is kept up till the fever is finally broken. Out of eighty-one cases treated by this method at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, it is report- ed, but cases were lost, a much better record than the old style of treatment can show. The Incidents of Great Bravery During the War. There were, among others two conspicuous incidents of the civil war that have always come to my mind when the nation was in dire peril. There was, on the one hand, the story of Cushing, when he hurried bib stream launch at the great protecting the ironclad Aloe vaulted over it, and, in the face of a merciless fire, ex- the torpedo that threw the ironclad out of water. On tho other hand is the tale of the Confederate crews of the submarine boat that de the Northern warship She was launched and manned, bat the swell of a passing steamer filled and sank her, only one man of her crew of escaping. Again she was floated and manned, only to cap- size and carry down six into A third time she was fitted- This time she took an dive and failed to return to the surface. Her whole crew perished, in the face of all that another volunteer crew was found ready, when once more she was raised and fitted, and this time she did her work well. for the volunteers their hatch left open, the wave of the explosion flowed over her, and down she went Mice with all on board.
