reason for the activity in the

Soldiers
There is now before the Mis-
Legislature a bill pro-
for the purchase, from the
family of the late President
vis, of the house and lands of
be used as a home
for disabled and dependent Mis-
Confederate soldiers.
Such an organizing
such an institution under proper
safeguards, would be a most
wise move, in that it would not
only provide for the necessitous
Confederate veterans, but it would
consign to a most worthy use a
locality that is of peculiar interest
to all southern people.
The Picayune knows, through
a letter to a prominent citizen of
New Orleans, from Mrs- Jefferson
Davis, that, while the sale of the
property at has repeat-
been refused, because it
would be used for speculative
and commercial purposes, its use
for a home for the old soldiers of
Mississippi would be most
to the family, and it would
be readily disposed of to that
end to the State of Mississippi.
Nothing could be more fitting
than that place, whore the
last years of the President of the
Confederacy were spent, should
to shelter and protect,
during their declining days, the
and dependent veterans
f the southern cause ; there
is no locality in the State more
appropriate, not merely from
sentimental considerations, but
also because of i's salubrity and
accessibility. The Picayune will
most heartily approve such an
enterprise, earnestly hopes
that a bill to that end will pass

ANOTHER PITT BOY
Nashville, Tens. March
some
time I have thinking of writing a
short letter but I
have ti to do so for various
reasons. This evening, however, while
I am alone in my study, too weak to be
engaged closely with ray duties on a-
count of the recent attack of sickness
from which am just recovering, and
while t lie cold rains without assist in
my longer consignment to the hallowed
confines of my sacred will raw
myself for awhile by writing. I have
often thought pleasantly of our little
but had not realized how much
loved it until I read an account of the
sad misfortune that recently befell it.
It was indeed sad. But let us us not
grieve too long over the misfortunes of
the past. The past is gone, the present
is ours, and the future is before us.
We hold the magic keys that unlock
the future and reveal to us all the
possibilities that she has in store for us.
Let us not try to retrieve the past by
lamenting one loss, but by moving for-
ward in greater strides along those lines
hitherto neglected. Greenville has
made rapid progress during the past
few years but she has left undone some
very necessary things. Among these
is a good water supply. A fire engine
with no water is of little assistance to a
town in time of fire.
I congratulate the town in its
attempt in securing electric
lights. This has been much needed
for some time, but something needed
much more is the erection of factories.
No town is complete without them. A
great many of our towns and cities are
at last realizing this truth and begin-
to build them. Why does Green
ville not share the profits ; and while a
few energetic men are laboring so
faithfully in the tobacco interest of the
town, why does not some one embrace
the fleeting opportunity and the
most opportune time, endue the town
with new life by setting a laudable ex-
ample
But I began this letter for my own
amusement and not for the town's in-
junction. I intended telling you
something of interest at and about
Nashville, but I have been drawn away
to a spot possessing far more interest
for me and have allowed myself to dwell
upon things concerning my native town.
But I hope that in the near future the
desire of the writer may be realized and
the hum of factories may be heard in
our town ; then will this letter not have
been written in vain.

There seems to be but one solution

that life was not extinct when Mr.

TOBACCO JOTTINGS.
BY O. L.
The well for the protection of the
tobacco houses against fire been
completed is a success.
There is a good of
among the farmers that their tobacco
seeds are not sprouting many
believe that the recent cold weather
snow have killed them. A few
warm days of sunshine will tell the
tide, and it they tire not forthcoming
it will he well to resow the beds.
The old adage, that land well
pared was equal to half the cultivation,
applies stronger to the tobacco crop
than any other that our eastern Carolina
farmers grow. The farmer who waits
until all the cold weather is gone and
then hire a cheap hand to break his
land with a slip shod plow had better
employ himself some oilier crop,
tor surely he will be disappointed if lie
expects to obtain profitable results from
such a system of preparation of the
land he expects to plant in tobacco.
Messrs. H. L. Coward and Travis
Hooker from Greene, have in
Greenville prospecting for the past
few days and its a result have bought
an interest in the Star Warehouse and
will be associated with Messrs.
Brown next year m the ware
business. Tobacconists here
welcome these young men to
our town for they will not only be an
addition to the Star but will be a val-
acquisition to the market, hailing
from Greene as they do in he
one of the finest bright tobacco pro-
sections the east. The
Greenville market can safely on
increasing its sales in that section, for
these popular young men will bring it.
And thus we have four redheaded

market. Who can beat it
North Carolina tobacconists look
forward to the publication of the to-
in of the and
Observer with great Interest. The
bright tobacco of North Carolina has
years been branded by the foreign
world as Virginia brights, and Virginia
ha- been accorded the credit that
obtained from the silky texture and
superior color of North Carolina to-
A few days ago Mr. F.
Arendell, representing the
Observer, was in Greenville collecting
data from this market, to be used in
this edition. lie says the objects
aims of the Tobacco will be to
prop place North Carolina
co where it belongs and to give to the
world an idea of the importance of
ties vast industry in the State. He
highly of the industry of the to
men of the State who he said in
instance had shown a cheerful
willingness to put their shoulder to the
wheel do their part in making the
Tobacco a success. Mr. Awn-
dell is one of the most versatile and
waters in State and having
carefully studied tobacco industry
for the past three m nubs, tobacco men
can rest assured that far, at last
North Carolina tobacco will have
done it in the largest industrial
publication ever issued in the State.
What class or grade of tobacco
be most profitably grown in Eastern
North Carolina is a question that
every farmer should ask himself and
seriously consider, and after determining
this question then it behooves the
business tanner to grow that kind as
near as possible If you ha-c land
that will grow wrappers and the price
of wrappers is sufficient to warrant you
in making them then the fertilization
of the land and the growth of the plant
should be a question of consideration,
for the same mode of management of
the plant will not make distinctly- either
wrappers or cutters. If want to
make wrappers a application of
fertilizer for them will be needed than
if you want to grow cutters, for in
wrappers the main thing is good body-
while in cutters body you do not want.
Then, too, a plant of tobacco to make
good wrappers must be topped very
low or sufficiently low that the re-
leaves will thoroughly de-
and these leaves must remain
until they are ripe before they are
cut, and in order to get the beef type of
wrapper the stalk must be cat. In
making cutters topping is not so
as it is not Ben Man to have
body and hence a good more
leaves may safely lie left and the curing
just as soon its the bottom

You well know how much I regret-
to learn of the recent disastrous
fire which swept over a large part of
old Greenville. You are fully
aware of some of the pleasant days

the invincible spirit of some of our
Greenville citizens, I feel assured in
predicting that the
ruins will be replaced by better
and more modern buildings and

its workers and will once

then will Greenville find rank among

Too much credit can not be given to
those volunteers both white black,
who with so little encouragement have
held together and who always respond
so willingly to an alarm of fire, but
their efforts must be seconded by a

effective work.

Take a New Census.
The is of the opinion
that a new census of the population of
Greenville ought to be taken. It is
that the last government

town justice and some step be
taken to set us right and let the out-
side world know what we have here.
The government census of 1880 gave
Greenville population, and in 1890
the number reported was an in-
crease of over one hundred percent in
the ten years. In the five years since
that census was completed the
of the town has increased hugely
until it is believed there are now fully
people here. A new census
should be taken to establish tips.

to have originated in Summit county,

on a more elaborate scale in that part
of the state than anywhere else. Only

Early in the month of December the
farmers, having got everything stored
away neatly and safely, having pro-
plenty of wood and having
boarded up the cattle sheds for the
winter, decided that it was about time
to go on the warpath for sparrows. A
notice was posted up next day at Rich-

On the following morning nearly
men were ready for the hunt. It
doesn't take long to circulate such an
announcement in a farming

nothing that the younger people like
than to visit around.
When the hunters came together

Not many persons who have taken
a Dover's powder have any idea of
the career of the man who
gave his name to the preparation.
Professor Osier of Johns Hopkins
in a paper published In
The Lancet, tells his story.
Thomas Dover was born in War.

studying at Cambridge and with the
famous Dr. settled down
at Bristol, for centuries the home
port for adventurers, privateers and
slave traders. Ho was nearly
when be joined in a commercial and
piratical venture with a number of
Bristol merchants. Two ships, the
Duke and the Duchess, were fitted
out for a voyage to the south seas,
from which the
of the world, had
brought wonderful tales of Spanish
riches. who had come to
grief in bis last expedition to those
regions, was taken along as pilot,
while Dover went as third in
to Captain Rogers and appears
in his narrative as Captain Dover.
The expedition was memorable for
two events. On Feb. the ships
arrived off the island of Juan Fer-
and Captain Dover, who was
sent ashore in the brought
back with him to the ship a couple
of days later a man, clad in goat-
skins, who had boon left on the is-
j land four years and a half before.
This was Alexander Selkirk, the orig-
i Robinson Crusoe.
Later the expedition sailed up the
South American coast, and found
what it was seeking in the two
of Guayaquil, which it attacked and
Backed. Dover led the van and cured
the sailors of tho plague which broke
out after the capture of the cities.
After cruising in the for an-
other two years for the Spanish ships

having collected plunder to the val-
of share made
i him a wealthy man, and him
free to wander about the world for
some years.
Ho settled down in London as a
physician in 1731, carrying into his
practice tho pugnacious habits of his
life. To attract
attention, ho published his book.

We frequently see upon the

of six or seven years up. They
are constantly the

do not say that Durham is any
worse than other places, for it is
not, but we do say there is entire-
too much of that sort of thin-r
in our midst. The parents, in
many many cases, are responsible.
Th y do not try to kept their boys

to do what they and go

Sec. v Treat
A quarrel often begins with a
mere of opinion, apart
from all malice. Standing up for
our side any
giving in, will always provoke a
in another. It
is very hard to maintain
stoutness of without
showing bad blood. If we feel
right, and cannot yield
we should sedulously avoid
prolonging a dispute- When we
feel driven to a dispute, we should
prevent heat of in-
to In of
opinion in mutual work, we would
cultivate a spirit of conciliation
When we cannot conscientiously
with another in propositions
of work or companionship, we
should separate from him in re
and good will. We should
be glad afterwards specially to
show such an one respect and
good will. Above all, we should
not, by severity, discourage
any one who proposes to change
his behavior for the better. Did
