Although the charge has not directly be-n made, the inference from the re- refusals of Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, who is in charge of the to set a date for taking a vote on the question seating Col.

LOCAL, NOTES AND TOBACCO JOTTINGS. BY O. L. The last few days of warm weather has caused tobacco plants well as all other vegetation to take on new life. Farmers, now is the time to force your tobacco plants. can grow them almost as fast as you please by placing an ordinary barrel near the bed and filling it half or two thirds full stable manure and then fill it with Take a sprinkler and spray this water thoroughly all over the bed. In twenty-four hours time you have no idea what a change it will make. have always thought and con- tended that ought not to be transplanted before the 1st of May, but the last two or three years experience of our that in the tern section, at tobacco ought to be transplanted just as soon as you can possibly get the plants large enough. heard a very successful farmer say last week that he would set his entire crop during April if he could. Our people have been taught that the cold spell in May had a tendency to dwarf young plants. Be that as it is, the first setting always makes the tobacco. on as high a plain of business as the mercantile or any other profession. successful business management a farm requires- more careful judgment and the exercise of more hard down common sense than any other in which man can engage, and it is an account cf the lack of this that the profession has been dragged down to its present standard. And then, too, failures in other professions are dumped into tho agricultural the last on earth, to which they should go, and as a matter of fact having been failures at everything else they make an ignominious one here. Our when we stalled to write this article was to show to our readers the superior advantages that we possess as on agricultural people in the eyes of strangers who come among us, and that while we are to-day not getting as much for the fruits of our labor as we arc justly entitled to, ye after all we are a great deal better of than many of our less friends in the bleak j and frigid States of the North and West, where on account of climatic conditions it is almost impossible to get in more than eight months work in the year. Down here in eastern North Carolina we have a mild, genial climate that is not so bitterly cold in winter that outdoor work cannot be done the year around. Here on the average land we can gr almost every variety of crop at about half the expense that the same would cost in the Northern States, and while in many instances our lands have run down yet under skillful management in a short while their fertility can be re- placed. And last, but by no means least, we have with us the native born the best laborer by any other in the world, when prop- treated, to help us in our pursuits. With these advantages that we possess, under prudent management does it not seem that we should get the full benefit of the opportunity that is presented. But as yon treat them, many, many of them attend the dances to drink and have a glorious time generally. Without a change what will become the men our country The ladies have the influence but they do not use it.

EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA Has Advantages Over All Other Farming Sections. HT O. L. During the List two or three months there have been quite a number of strangers to our town and it has been our pleasure to talk with a good many of them. Almost without exception they have marveled at the superior quality of our bright tobacco. Until very recently, and in fact now there are a many people that think the chief products of the eastern section of our State are tar, pitch, and a cotton, the bright to- belt of the State has been heralded to the world as lying in that section which is traversed by the Sea Board Air Line railroad, when in point the best bright tobacco producing belt in the world lies along the At- Line system of eastern North Care lira. These people that have passed through here from the North say the farmers of eastern North Carolina have a mint almost-in the proper production of bright tobacco and yet the most of our people think, and they do, have a hard time making any- thing out of tobacco. If our could take a prospective trip through the. agricultural fields of New England note the extreme advantages under which the people up have to labor in comparison with the many ad- that the people of the South and especially eastern North Carolina have, it would be an incentive to our people to come back home live more contented and utilize our in a more profitable way. We arc fully aware of the fret that A Young Man Gives Some Good Ad- vice. Mk. you please allow me a short space in your valuable paper, not to express my views upon political matters, but to the young men of our country of taking social drinks. The writer is a young man, and with experience, and he knows the evil of social drinks. He knows that in the end it will bring trouble to every home. Only a few days ago I was standing upon our streets talking to two aged gentlemen, one of them had two of bis little boys standing by his side and he looked across the street and saw two young men coming out of a bar and remarked that he wanted to see whiskey taken out the country. my he said on account of my little Placing his hand upon their heads he continued may see them till drunkard's men, do you ever look around you and see men that are worth- less to themselves, to their family, to the country Do you ever pause to think that in their young days they took social drinks, little thinking that they would ever fill a drunkard's grave Step by step you are coining behind them and it will only take time to put you where they are. Do you ever pause to think the trouble that those poor fallen men give to their wives and to their children Night after night the poor wife sits upon her front door steps watching, waiting for him to come home. She knows he is drunk, hardly able to get home, and she cannot sleep until he comes. Young men will you continue to take social drinks until you have lost all pride, then throw yourself away, and many of you make the life of some true and noble women a miserable one of you to-day have that sit upon the steps at night waiting for you to come. She knows you arc taking social drinks and she is afraid that you will get into trouble. Do you ever think of the trouble that giving her Do you know that the life that you are living is shortening the days of most not give these things one minutes thought, if you were to, it seems to me that you could not help from turning your upon that which is ruining you, and go home early and be a pleasure to your mother and sisters. The young ladies are responsible to a certain extent for drinking and they could if they would reform a great many young men. I do not believe there is to-day a young lady in North Carolina but who has some influence over some young man. It has been only a few Hookerton Items. N.

Not returning by the of the week she was sent for on Saturday, when it was learned that she had not been to the house which she left home to visit, and nothing could heard from her. The family alarmed and Started a search for her. Failing to find her on Saturday evening, a men gathered on Sunday morning to make a more thorough search. They went up the railroad as far as she last been seen on the previous Sun- day, then separated a few feet apart to go through the After going about half a mile in the woods some cf her clothing was found, and a little further on found Miss Harrington in an and helpless condition.
