A. re-appointed Prof. W as County for county. In this appointment is man- the warm interest entertained by Mr. in the welfare of our public schools, and he will heartily commended by the people of the county generally, particularly the teachers and all most interested in the schools, upon the wisdom of his appointment. This is the fourth time Prof, Raf dale bas been selected for this position, and the manner in which he has performed the duties of the office shows his qualifications it. He was first elected by the Hoard of Education and County Commission- in joint session, then was re-elected by the Magistrates and County Com- missioners, and has been twice appoint- ed by Clerk Every duty with the office has faithfully and impartially discharged, and no County Superintendent or Examiner has ever given more general satisfaction than Prof. Rag.-dale. It is foolish to say that e can beat Russell easily, for we can do no such thing. It's no use to and say his own won't support, him, for it will. We must lock the difficulty in face and realize that there is this devil may be elected. The thing to do is to swear that he shall not b-j and to see to it that he is Land- mark. These are wise words. Though he obtained it by fraud, now stands as the Republican nominee for Gov- and it matters not how a man he is or how much he has accused the bulk of his party of being savages, will vote for him just the same. With nine-tenths of the Republican party in this State it matters not what man they are voting for just so they vote for the ticket as directed by their bosses. It goes without saying, that if a yellow dog was on the ticket and the bosses so directed it would be voted just as readily as with Russell at its head. So no stress need be laid on the reports that his party will not support him, but the thing to do, as the Land- mark suggests, is to see that as vile a man-as Russell is not elected Governor of North Carolina. WASHINGTON LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, D. O. May, Just as the were hug- git g themselves to think that the Re- publican opposition to the fat-frying candidate had been whipped into they made a discovery which has them. This discovery is a confidential circular sent out by J. S. asking for the personal his- of every delegate elected to the St. Louis convention, and for the name of the person who has the most influence over him. The don't know what is driving at, but they know that he doesn't want nominated and that it is likely to lie something to hurt him. Hence this discovery, made through sending one of his circulars to a lie has greatly alarmed them. isn't the only big Republican who is secretly working against He, They may not be able to keep him out of the nomination, but they will make him spend some anxious hours before he gets it. It has out, that President Cleveland is gathering data upon which to base his veto of the River and Harbor bill, which may go in any day before next Wednesday. The impression in Congress is that the bill will lie passed over the veto. The Senate voted down the to add cents a barrel to the in- revenue tax on beer, which was offered as an amendment to the filled cheese bill. Democrats were disappointed because the Supreme court decision, that the money appropriated by the last Con- for sugar bounties should be paid, did not touch the question of the con- of the sugar Some of the ablest Democrats have from the birth of the party claimed that the whole system of government ties was unconstitutional, and it was hoped that a decision would have been made of that question in this case. There is every to believe that the House committee on Invalid Pen- was merely indulging in a little campaign when a favorable ordered to be made to the House the service pension bill, and that few members of Congress seriously wish this bill to ever become a law The bill provides that every man who served ninety days or longer in the I. S. Army or Navy between 1861 and shall receive a month and one cent additional tor each day over nine- that he served in either of the service, and this money is to be lo the million or thereabouts who are already drawing pensions for as well as to those who are not on the pension roll. The bill, if it be- come a law, would add annually or more to the already expenditures for pensions. Ex-Congressman Enloe, of see, who is visiting Washington and who is an authority on the Democracy of State, said of the outlook is in good shape. We will elect our Democratic State ticket by an old- time majority. The people arc as mad U hornets over the slump and are going to expatiate that slip by eating up the Republicans in November. It hardly needed a denial from Chairman the National Democratic Committee, to convince anybody who knows him that he had never said that th National Committee would attempt to keep anybody out of the Chicago convention. Mr. is in Washington, and thus explicitly defines his position ; for myself as a delegate to the National Democratic Convention, I expert to enter it with a view of abiding by the will of the majority. Whoever is will receive my support, and I am certain that will be the sentiment of the great bulk of the delegates. Dem- always enter a conference, caucus or convention with the idea of to the of the majority. That is a cardinal principle and is no to think it will be violated at Chicago by either the advocates of sound money or of free Section of the Wilson tariff law admitting free foreign alcohol to be used in the arts and manufacturers, was this week repealed by the House, the vote being to Secretary had asked to have this section repealed because it had been so clumsily drawn that it was practically impossible to make to enforce it. This section was one of the amendments added to the Wilson bill in the Senate. It was known at the time that it was badly drawn, and expected that it would be put into proper shape in conference. Everybody remembers how the House was compelled to accept all the Senate amendment in a lump to save the entire bill from failure. The discussion of the bill prohibiting further issue of bonds would have been much more spirited in the Senate if there was any probability of action by the House on the bill. Miss S. A.

Of the Eastern Carolina Tobacco Crop as Gathered from the A Great Many Reports sent Out from this Section Damaging and Mis- leading. BY O. L. We have read with a great deal of interest a good many conjecture as to the tobacco acreage in Eastern North Carolina and it is really amusing to see the capers of these reporters. They all seem to vie with one another to see who can tell the biggest yarn about the increased acreage. These reports are misleading and damaging, not only to the farmer but to the dealer and as well. There are three well established market Eastern North Carolina and there are others coming on which will time become factors among the tobacco markets of the State. But in their own zeal to impress the outside world with their advantages the quantity of tobacco raised tributary to their market, a great many times injury is done the tobacco interests In South Carolina, for instance, the world has been led to be- that the whole face of the earth would be planted in tobacco this year. Tobacco journals everywhere have been full of of new markets and increased until the world is prepared to think that South Carolina alone would grow tobacco enough this year to supply the trade. It now turns out that there will not be much more than half the tobacco planted in South Carolina that has been predicted up to now, and this information comes direct from the fields of South Carolina and not from some one in town who has an interest in some warehouse and who by those reports expects to get somebody to go there to buy tobacco. Here in Eastern North a great part of it at least, the writer has post information from personal that the tobacco acreage has been very much exaggerated. A few days ago we a trip of fifty miles through the leading tobacco belt Greene and counties and a portion of Pitt, and we know that in this section the acreage will not lie in- creased. In some sections the farm- had planted the land they prepared for tobacco in cotton on one farm we noticed especially where last year there wire forty acres of tobacco, this year there are only twelve. There is no need of disguising facts in order to deceive the public, for while they may be fooled for awhile, yet after all the facts will be learned and then it is too late to appease the injury that is done. When this market first started a very prominent tobacconist who had moved from a distant State and located on one of the eastern markets, said one day in talking with a number of that O. L. Joyner was doing the eastern markets more harm that any other man in Eastern Carolina. They asked him why and how it was. Well, be said, instead of puffing the eastern crop, and leading the outside world to believe that we have got the tobacco down here, he is advocating doing all he can to make them think that the acreage will not lie increased and that the markets arc not selling as much to- as they claim. Since we have been connected with the tobacco trade we have written only from information and we have tried to stick squarely to the truth without dis- guising facts or we are yet to be convinced that this is not the best plan. By and exaggerating the crop prospects, admitting that it does no harm in any other way, it fits the trade to bike hold of the crop. A great many hold their orders off thinking that tobacco will go down under the pressure of a large crop until before they realize what they have done the crop has been sold, and their man filled his orders. He has kept off the market and the farmer has suffered for the lack of com- petition to the extent of what his purchases would have been. when the crop is over estimated, and there are Mattering prospects tor a crop of good tobacco, a great many buyers hold off thinking that will wait until the good tobacco begins coming in, when also before they know it the crop has been sold and the good to has not yet turned no. The trade suffers of course. There should be a way of arriving at an intelligent estimate of the tobacco crop for under present circumstances are so many false and misleading statements sent out by parties, who by altering the facts to suit themselves, think to better their own interest, that there is no means of telling anything the crop until it begins coming in, and then you have to take it just as it When We'll All Be Happy. When the dead-beat ceases to beat and an honest man takes his place. When the growler to growl and the kicker is at rest. When people do not forget little ac- counts, but are prompt to pay them. When people get what they wish for and wishing goes out of fashion. But you will never sec all this Durham Sun. A GOOD MAN FOB SHERIFF. Editor Reflector casting about for the most available man sheriff in the coming nominating con- every effort should be made to lay aside personal preferences and go the man that can hold the banner highest and and the most votes. There is a man my eye who has since his first vote ever stood the front rank fought where the battle was hardest. Under all circumstances and all times he has stood the test and at no time has he been found wanting. That man is O. W. Harrington and if he will carry the banner through and place it upon the ramparts of radical- ism drive out the enemy in a solid line and perch victory upon the ruins there- of. Nominate O. W. Harrington and Democracy is victorious old Pitt once. more. T. T. THE NOMINATION OF AN EXCELLENT ONE. was a great pleasure to the writer to sec in your Wednesday's issue of the Daily Reflector a communication ting O. W. Harrington for the of Sheriff of county. The writer has known Mr. Harrington for the last ten years and if our opinion of the man is worth anything we don't believe the Democracy Pitt could give the nomination to a better man. In these times of political degeneracy if the Democratic party would preserve and it must look well to the selection of men to fill the offices. There are men in the county, good, staunch Democrats who at this time the party should nominate office would almost surely wreck its best interests, while there arc rs whose names upon the Democratic ticket this year will add to it and insure victory. To this latter class of men Mr. ton belongs. His name upon the Dem- ticket will add as much strength to it U any man, that could be and having heard a great many express themselves we believe that O. W. Harrington could a larger vole for Sheriff than any man that could be named by the Democratic party. V. S. DELIGHTFUL In Good Shape for the Coming; Season. Mr. J. J.
