Mr. E. C. Brooks, editor of North
Carolina Education, was next intro-
He said this institution came
in the midst of a great educational
awakening. With a determination
that the most remote school should
have the best trained teacher, the pa-
spirit of the people of Green-
ville and Pitt county was asserted in
founding this school. But there are
still further demands that must be
met. There are yet people who do
not believe in public education, and
school boards who are inclined to
select relatives as teachers instead of
those equipped for the work.
against those ideas must con-
until they are corrected.
Ail the speeches at these exercises
were excellent, but space forbids
only brief reference to them. The
songs by the student body that in-
the speeches were a pleas-
part of the exercises and re-
credit upon the school.
In his closing remarks, President
Wright referred to the aid
fund, contributed by the last
class, and read the following
as coming voluntarily from those at-
tending the present summer term,

keeping with the motto,
that has been adopted by the
On June 1911, by permission of
the president, a mass meeting of the
student body of the summer school
was held in the auditorium, its
purpose being to form plans for
raising a fund toward increasing the
school library appropriation. This
fund to be a testimonial of the

afforded in the Training school
through the efficient services of its
able corps of earnest officers and
teachers.
The purpose of the meeting was
stated by Miss Daisy Reed, met with
a most enthusiastic reception. A
chairman was elected, committees
pointed, and work begun at once, and
today we find in the treasury
in cash with notes aggregating quite
an appreciable sum payable in a short
time.
The entire anniversary exercises
were most successful and marks an-
other era in the history of the
school.
And no more do the vast majority
of the Republican apostles and de-
fenders or inordinate Protection so
believe. The fact is that the party and
the men who put and have kept so-
called protective duties on staple
products acted in the be-
ginning, and have ever since continued
to act, not with a view to
the farmers, but with a view to de-
the agricultural interests into
the belief that they were sharing in
the spoils of Protection and so into
support of the protective system. To
say that they have not realized from
the start that no amount of pro-
could effect, one way or the
other, the prices in the domestic mark-
et of products of the soil of which we
grow a surplus for export, over and
above a sufficiency for home

lack of intelligence which they have

What they have done has been
to play upon the credulity of the farm-
and so induce them to serve as
to save the chestnuts of the
inordinately protected manufacturing
interests from burning.
And what is true of the farmer is
also true of labor. It is these two
elements of the citizenship of the
country which have kept the
policy alive and in effect, lo, these
many years, both deluded into so do-

they were the beneficiaries of the sys-

When even avowed Protection-
are themselves driven to admit
so much, certainly it is high time the
farmers and the workingmen were
making their awakening complete and
ceasing to act as stool-pigeons for
the few privileges beneficiaries of a
system which robs them in the name
and under the guise of Protection.

WILMINGTON TYPHOID
FEVER SITUATION
LESS THAN TWO CENT. ILL-
Report Is Result of Health Or.
of City.
Wilmington, N. C, July has
been learned this city during the
past few days that reports are
being circulated over North Caro-
and also different Southern
cities relative to typhoid fever in
Wilmington. These reports, in most
instances, are absolutely at variance
with the facts in the case. From May
1st to this date one hundred and sixty
cases of typhoid fever have been re-
ported as shown by the records in
office of superintendent of health,
and there is no doubt about every
case being reported as a very strict
ordinance was passed some time
since requiring physicians to report
all cases of typhoid and some ten or
fifteen other cases within twenty-four
hours. Of the cases in the above to-
twenty-eight were treated at a
local hospital and part of these were
from out of the city. Something over
thirty of the cases reported have
been discharged and there have been
only five deaths, two of these being
patients at the hospital and who were
brought here for treatment. This
shows that the death rate as to
patients has been less than
two per cent. At the present time
there are about one hundred and
twenty of typhoid in
ton, and, when it is taken into con-
that this is a city of
as shown by the last census, the
number is not considered as large by
any means. For a period of two
months there have been less than six
cases reported for each thousand of
the inhabitants. The type is very
mild and some of the leading
say it is what known as para-
typhoid, this being a name given to
the type of fever by Dr. Osier. In
para-typhoid the deadly typhoid germ
does not appear and patients often
recover in from ten days to two
weeks, and such has been the his-
of many of the cases here.
Records show that the number of
cases of fever here has been but lit-
if any, greater than in the other
towns of the state, but the reports
probably got started on account of
the council under the new
form of government passing a
number of stringent ordinances

seeing that the ordinances are being
enforced, in other words, the health

some of their goods was taken, the
exact amount of which cannot be

Entrance to the store was made

Jamaica
The island of Jamaica, Great
possession in the West hides,
has looked with envious eyes upon
the reciprocity agreement between
the United States and Canada. The
Telegraph-Guardian of Kingston goes
so far as to suggest that Jamaica be
annexed to Canada if there is no
way In Which the reciprocal
can be secured.
It is interesting to note that the
citizens of Jamaica have
watched with satisfaction the de-
of Cuba and Rico
under American administration. They
know the conditions which prevailed
in those islands under Spanish rule,
and the contrast is most marked.
Rico as a dependency of the United
States, has made progress along com-
and educational lines, while
Cuba, even though it now has its de-
pendent government, owes its exist-
as a republic to the United
States. This is the evidence which is
before the eyes of the Jamaicans, as
they want some share in the pros-
of their fellow-islanders.

OUR WEEKLY LETTER ,
THE ALLIANCE
Progressive Republicans
See Taft Defeated.
To
Clyde H. special Wash-
correspondent of The Re-
Washington, July
Taft will be opposed by progressive
Republicans for a re-nomination on
the ground that he is still the mouth-
piece of Aldrich and the great law-
defying industrial corporations of the
country.
If proof was necessary to show that
the old alliance between Taft and
Aldrich still exists, the president
himself furnished it on two notable
occasions within the last couple of
weeks when he went out of his way
to the Aldrich near-central-
bank scheme, which is designed to
give Wall street absolute control of
the money and credit of the United
States, and thus make it the
lute master of business and
try.
Progressive Republicans contend
that if the president should be re-
and re-elected would
continue to be the complaisant help-
mate of schemers like Aldrich, who
are striving constantly to make the
great masses of the public little more
than the serfs of the few men who
compose the great financial
nation, of which J. Morgan
and the Standard Oil capitalists are
the most And
Mr. Taft now publicly confirms the
fears of the progressives.
Therefore the only thing left for
the public to conclude is that Mr.
Taft's re-election would necessarily
place back in control of congress the
same class of men who were swept
out by the indignation of the public
in the last election.
Democrats Making Honest Efforts.
The Democrats are sincere in their
efforts to run the house of
on an economical business
basis. The report of Jerry Smith,
chief clerk of the house, just made
public, shows that during the month
of June a saving of was
effected as a result of the abolishing
of useless offices. This item, which
does not include the big reduction
on the police force which the senate
has not yet concurred in but will
prove shortly, means a saving of
in a year.
This is not a stupendous sum, It is
true, but the spirit is in striking
contrast to the wastepaper bas-
in the offices of Postmaster Gen-
Hitchcock and the expensive
recreations taken by the Aldrich
commission at. public expense
at Narragansett pier.
Taft
Once more the White House press
bureau has been to back-track.
It was like Franklin A. Shot-
well, of Omaha, secretary of the
Progressive Republican League of
Nebraska, came to Washington, had
a talk with the president, and was
quoted by the White House press bu-
as saying that Nebraska was
strong Taft for re-nomination
and Now it. happens that
the league which Mr. Shotwell was
made to appear as speaking for, is
against Taft instead of be-
for him. When the officials of
the Nebraska organization heard of
Shot statement they promptly
passed resolutions repudiating it. and
wired them to Washington. The fact
is the real progressive Republicans
stand as a unit against Taft's
and every indication is that
if he secures the nomination they
will permit him to go down in defeat.
Then they will make an attempt to
re-organize the Republican party.
Progressives Lose
When it is too late some of the
Republican Insurgents in the United
States senate who are opposing
may learn that they are com-
one of those huge political
blunders that have been described as
worse than crimes.
Real Revision
The wool bill, passed by the Dem-
house, but not acted upon as
yet in the Republican senate, reduces
the tax cloth out of which the
poor man's clothing is made, from
per cent, to from 2-7 to per cent;
on women's dress goods from
per cent, to from to per cent.,
and on blankets from per cent,
to per cent.

HOW CITY PEOPLE LIVE.
People who live in the country and
country towns, where there is plenty
of room and abundant space between
buildings, have much to be thank-
for, especially amid such torrid
temperature as has prevailed for
some days recently. They read of
intense heat, and prostrations and
deaths occurring in the cities, but
the news dispatches give only a
slight idea of the intense suffering
In the densely populated centers.
While the temperature may really be
no higher in the cities than In the
country regions, the sun pouring
down all day upon the compact stone
and brick buildings makes them so
hot that they are almost like ovens,
and this heat is so retained that the
buildings do not get cool during the
night.
The writer has Just had an

days in Baltimore of seeing how

They exist through the day some

The Folly of Lawsuits.
Whatever else you do, don't get
into a lawsuit over some trifling dis-
agreement with a neighbor. The
courts are full of suits which could
have been settled by mutual
or by arbitration to the great
advantage of all parties except the
lawyers in the case. Just the other
day a suit was decided after two or
three years of expense and worry on
the part of two families. It was
over a disputed line, as so many such
suits are, and the land in dispute
was probably not worth fifty dollars.
The suit cost the winner and
the loser, being taxed with the costs,
necessarily had more to pay. It is
probable that each party spent at
least worth of time in monkey-
with the case.
Another case recently noticed is
where a farmer had a right to get
water from a spring on a neighbor's
land. He wanted to build a spring-
house, the owner objected. The first
man had got along without a spring-
house for years, it would not have
damaged the land-owner a penny,
yet an injunction has been issued and
a lawsuit Is on. Each party will
probably spend several hundred
and be no better off, and the old
friendliness of the neighborhood will
be a thing of the past
To begin a suit in court over some
such matter which could easily
be adjusted by a little give and take,
is not only the poorest sort of
case of wasting
dollars to gain possible cents,
but is also a crime against the com-
and a foolish waste of the
best part of life. For what shall It
profit a man if he gain a needless
lawsuit only to lose the goodwill of
his neighbors and his own friend-

No town will become a business
center so long as its men rely
upon a few merchants to make the
effort to bring trade to the town.
Too often the men in a few lines of
trade are about the only ones that
reach out for custom. Other mer-
chants will wait until these men have
induced the people to come to town
and content themselves with trade
that naturally drifts to their place.
A public spirited man should ask
himself if he is doing his part in at-

has passed an income tax bill
which becomes law if endorsed by the
people at next year's election. The
tax proposed ranges from one-half

But there is exemption up to a
point. In the case of an
man this is For each de-
pendant, and here's where the attack
on race suicide comes in, an extra

a man's family grows, his tax de-
creases. The decrease is not enough,
in this case, to make much incentive
to large families, but it establishes the
principle, which is important. Our
taxes have always run just the other
why. So far as tariffs increase
prices they subsidize race suicide, for

Entertains.
Seldom has i-here been seen in the
community a more brilliant scene of
jovial youths than was manifest at
the home of Mrs. W. E. Tucker, on
Thursday evening, when Miss Leila
Bryan, in her usual graceful manner,
entertained a number of her young
friends. The hall, veranda and lawn
was beautifully lighted in keeping
with the color scheme, which was
pink and green. Roses and
were seen in profusion.
The guest were received by Miss
Leila Bryan and Mr. Fred Ward
and ushered to the parlor,
where they were received by Miss
Earl Proctor and Mr. Arthur B.
Corey.
After merry greeting and laughter,
the guests were served with lemon-
ice and lady fingers by little Miss Lei-
la Bryan and Master Leon Edwards.
After many delightful and various
games were ended, cut hearts were
drawn and the guests retired to the
beautifully decorated dining room,
where they were served with cream
and cake by Miss Elmo Tucker and
Mr. James K. Proctor.
At eleven-thirty the guests depart-

a charming hostess.

A STORY OF DAYS LONG GONE.
Type of the Old School Where Teach-
Was Thorough.
Hanrahan, N. C, July
the high tide of prosperity to the
comparatively few who owned slaves
in the South, and before the Civil
war had brought on the idle tide for
a while of adversity, but which after-
ward made it possible for every man
to stand on equal footing, my oldest
sister had finished the course at St.
Mary's, then as now, one of the best
female schools in our South land.
Then that school did not give
mas, but one thing it did, old Dr.
Sneed, of blessed memory, instilled
high ideals into the minds and hearts
of every one of his pupils if such
principals could be imparted to them.
Any girl who attended his school two
years and did not return a strong
advocate of abolition principles that
wanted to see everything have liberty
and freedom,, hating to see a bird
caged, rather feed and treat them
kindly, that they might sing more
sweetly their songs of love and cheer
as they flit from tree to tree. An-
other practical idea old Dr. Sneed in-
stilled into the mind of my sister was
that of a love well nigh kin to de-
for the very best literature
that was and still another
was to even use the simplest
at her command to express
clearly the thought that she might
wish to convey. These ideals and
principles followed her even until at
she crossed over to him with
others in the beyond.
So the next day after my first at
the old log cabin school house, I took
my place at the feet of this sister and
listened- to her charming stories and
the gems that she so often read to
me, and oh, how my mind and heart
did yearn to be able just to say or
write something that would Jingle
and lift one's soul up as did some of
those lines lift mine up. I dreamed
-and pondered, thought and wondered,
ever trying with my heart still sigh-
for the gift to write just four
lines that would jingle. She had
taught me that the only way to at-
anything with the while was by
close application and the strictest
care and observation of the small de-
tails that, come to us in life. So the
days went by and wore into weeks,
months, and two years had passed,
the war clouds had recoiled back and
left the terrific storm of
days, when all the offices of our
land, even to the country offices, were
filled by men. One day
during this period, on a sultry
June day, mother, sister
and I were sitting in the front yard
underneath the canopy of the state-
oaks that added so much beauty
and comfort to our home in the long
summer days. Little Eugene Mead-
came running and screaming at
the top of his voice. We all rushed
to meet him to find the trouble.
please, my mama was making soap
in the yard and her frock catch fire,
and she until she fell and
when I her she could not
talk, and she is dead and has let
sis and me. Oh, please come go with
me The frame of a horse that
my older brother had gotten from
the Yankee camps was harnessed as
quick as possible, and papa and
drove over there. They found
r burned beyond recognition,
lying in the little clearing about
yards from the cabin, with the little
girl kneeling over her dead mother.
They wrapped the body as best they
could and prepared it for burial, then
sent for two of the nearest neighbors
to come stay that night with the
corpse. That night as we sat on the
porch at home, papa and mother were
talking of the sad, sad condition of
the little boy and girl. Papa said
that there was nothing else to be
done with them except to bind them
out and that the clerk of the court
was a hard-hearted and
man, and that he felt sure they
would have to go to some one that
would but little, if any, mercy
towards them. It was sad for us all
and the way seemed dark and, oh, so
gloomy for the two children. My sis-
listened at the dark picture until
she could her sentiments no
longer, then she quoted these
Judge not the Lord by feeble
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning Providence
He hides a smiling face.
She said that she felt that though
the early life of little Eugene would
be dark and tossed on many rough
billows, that before him there was a
great mission in life. She said it
took storms to develop the great oaks
and rough seas to develop and make
the very best mariners, and she felt
that out of all this chaos that God
would bring some great blessing to
the world in days to come.

All Because A Trusted Fell
Asleep.
Wilson, July most sensational
and blood-curdling story was told in
Mayor Dickinson's court this morning
of the intention of a Wilson by
the name of Sylvester who
formerly had been employed by
Messrs. George W. Barnes and Bros.,
grocers, on lower East Nash street.
Only from the fact that fell
asleep last Monday night, Mr. George
Barnes would have met a most tragic
death. As stated, had been
in the employ of Barnes Bros, for
some time, and they had let him go
simply because he had an opportunity
to better his condition, telling him
that if his new place did not prove
satisfactory to report to them and
they would reinstate him. They re-
posed the utmost confidence in him.
Mr. George Barnes had been in the
habit of sleeping in his store, and on
last Monday night, after closing hours,
rapped on the back door and
asked Mr. Barnes if he might not
spend the night in his store that he
would sleep in a chair. Permission
was granted him, and when Mr.
Barnes awoke next morning
was dead to the world, snoring loud-
On Tuesday morning
Richard Farmer, a 15-year-
old delivery boy, and said to
Richard, I've a plan whereby we can
make a bunch of money. If you will
join in with me and fix the window
tonight so that I can enter the store,
I'll go in and rob and give you half
what I get. Will you do
The boy has the requirements
of a good seemingly to
agreed to enter into the con-
and told him he would leave
the shutter unfastened and the rest
easy sailing. Then
told Richard about his sleeping in the
store the night before, and that it
was his intention when Mr. Barnes
fell asleep to chop his head off with
the meat and continuing, he said
forget; tonight leave the shut-
unhooked; we'll go in and fix
Barnes and then go to old man Gal-
their's and rob his place. He has a
bag of money as long as you are. You
know the old man can't see much,
and when he finish the job the old
woman won't see at
The faithful boy went to his em-
and unfolded to him the
plot. Mr. Barnes called in
Police Officer Wynn and asked him
what he should do in the matter. The
officer instructed Mr. Barnes to keep
to mention the matter to a
living cautioned the boy to
do just as wanted him to do
even to entering the store with him.
Late in the afternoon met
the boy on the street and said to him
forget tonight. And I say, did
you have a good day at the store to-

Mr. Barnes fired his pistol and the
ran away.
Friday afternoon he met Richard
and wanted to know if he had not
given him away. The boy told him
he had kept his word and that he
J wouldn't tell on him for a hundred
dollars. It was then agreed that the
job should be pulled off between
and this morning. The boy told Mr.
Barnes of the new arrangement, and
at the appointed time both of the
showed up. and entrance was
made by the window by Rich-
In the meantime the three Barnes
boys, Officer Wynn and the day
operator at the Atlantic Coast
Line depot had secreted themselves
around the building. As soon as
things got quiet in the store Policeman
Wynn fired off his pistol, which had
been agreed on as a signal for Richard
to come out and surrender. After
Richard came out the officer called to
to come out, but received no
response. Then firing in the air five
or six times, the frightened wretch
came out with his hands up.
After hearing the evidence, Mayor
Dickinson required a justified bond of
for appearance at
court, failing to give which he
was placed in Jail.
FARM WEALTH.
Wonderful Progress for Caro-
Una in Ten Years.
North Carolina's agricultural
given out from the Census
Bureau in Washington several days
ago, makes a fine showing for the
state. The increase in value of
farm lands and farm buildings for
the decade of 1900-1910 was wonder-
The value went from
in 1910 to in 1911,
an increase of per cent. The in-
crease in the value of land alone was
per cent. The increase in the
use of fertilizers was per cent.
There was a per cent, decrease in
the number of acres per farm. In
other words, the North Carolina farm
has been reduced from acres to
acres. This is a healthy sign.
The smaller the farm the better the
farmer. The total acreage fell off
per cent, in the ten years.
The average value of land per acre
went up from to
a gain of per cent. That is
a remarkable showing for the state.
Short Weights and Measures
The federal experts from the bu-
of standards swooped down up-
on Columbia merchants several days
ago and found of the total number
of scales used In the stores of that
city that per cent, only were
within per cent, while 47.5 per
cent, were doctored to cheat the
chaser, per cent, were short weigh-
customers to the extent of per
cent or more. Nearly every store In
the city was found to be
dry commodities by liquid measure.
Of the few liquid measures in use
quart measures were found
which were more than per cent,
The practice of guessing at
the quantity in measuring liquids is
declared to be common. Of but-
prints investigated only one was
found to be correct in weight. Tests
made put up by local stores showed
per cent, of the packages to be
short in

most pleasant communications of
Ayden Lodge No. A. F. and A. M.,
was held here yesterday. There were
several visitors in attendance, the
occasion being the annual
of officers. The lodge was con-
at by the master, and
after the routine of business was dis-
posed of, the gavel was turned over
to Mr. R. W. Smith, a past master,
who installed the officers for the
ensuing year. At meridian the craft
was called from labor to refreshments
and assembled at the Imperial To-
Warehouse, where the table
was groaning under such a
dinner, consisting of barbecue,
ham, chicken, cake, pickles, etc., that
go to make such a success. Quite a
number of the brethren took with
them their wives, daughters, mothers,
sisters and a few boys, who are due
much credit for making the day a
success. When dinner was over there
were several basket fulls of
taken up. The lodge was call-
ed from refreshments to labor at
o'clock and two candidates were
prepared and took their first step in
the secrets of Masonry, after which
the lodge closed in due form and
harmony, to meet and eat barbecue
again next first Thursday at one
o'clock.

Mr. Geo. W. returned a few
days ago from down on the Atlantic
coast and tells us while cruising along
the beach his attention was attracted
by the sign of some high sea
track, and by reason of himself
being born and raised near there, he
recognized it as a turtle's track and
while meditating upon it and exam-
in the sand, he found her nest
containing fourteen dozen or eggs,
as large as a walnut. He gave some
to his comrades and took a quantity
home with him and served them at
his hotel here in Ayden.
Rev. W. B. Everett has returned
from Morehead, where he has held a
successful meeting. He tells us that
a generous hearted sea captain took
him out and gave him a lesson In
catching fat-backs. He says that he
was not afraid of being drowned, as
he was too sick and his head was
swimming all the time.
Prof. J. E. Sawyer has returned
from an eastern tour, where he has
been lecturing in the interest of the
Seminary.
The most wonderful thing to relate
is that Mr. Jack of our town, has
a hog that was hurt in some way last
spring, and the trouble settled in his
shoulder to the extent that his leg,
shoulder blade and all has come off
and the place cured up and haired
over. He gets about on three feet as
though nothing had happened. The
pig weighs about pounds and we
expect to see it on exhibition at the
Pitt county fair.

work, hammering, squaring and
timbers for the large

We then went on to the main school
building and found another squad of
workmen remodeling the rubbish, and
also preparing timbers and other ma-

We have never noticed a greater
improvement in any farm than was
made on the west side of the late
Abram Cox homestead. Last year a
great portion of it only supplied fire
wood, brush, brooms and straw, and
a harbor for foxes and rabbits. This
year Mr. Titus the champion
farmer, has reclaimed the most of it,
opened the ditches, put a good wire
fence around it and has a fine crop
of peanuts, corn cotton thereon.

Prof. Barnes gave much valuable
information upon this important sub-
and every teacher present will
be able to teach reading much more
intelligently now than she has ever
done heretofore. Following this
splendid discussion of reading and
expression Mr. Barnes gave a

Baseball Wives.
In the early days a woman with a
ball club was a rarity. Now it Is
common for seven or eight players to
take their wives on long trips and
sometimes their children. Managers
admit that the women have a re-
straining and refining influence, but
they are not wanted. Often managers
make wry faces when notified that
some of the men are taking their
wives. The women take the minds of
the players off the

bad one. If there should be a quarrel
the wives are certain to take sides.

MISS ROYSTER
AT TRAINING SCHOOL
LECTURE TO BODY.
How To Enlist Community Interest In
School Work.
Miss Edith Royster, the assistant
superintendent of schools in Wake
county, spent the day Friday in
visiting the E. C. T. T. S. school.
Miss Royster has been so intimately
connected with the public school
work of the state for the past eight
or ten years that she is thoroughly
acquainted with its needs. She has
always been an enthusiastic worker
and Wake county is showing the
fruits of her work by making strides
in educational progress that but few
counties in the state are now making.
At the last period of the day for
work in the Training school Friday
the student body assembled in the
auditorium and was addressed by
Miss Royster. She spoke to them on
Speaking first
of the work of the teacher in trying
to remove the dragon of ignorance
from our state, she said that it was
our duty to enlist every one in the
in the work. We need the
help of the people. The great work
of the teacher is to get the
to fight with her in this gigantic
struggle. We must stand for the best
and have stand with us. We
must first do something ourselves and
then have others assist. To work
for the community means to forget
self. This spirit always brings
both help from others and
to us. She told of many in-
stances in her own county where the
teacher had exhibited the community
spirit and in every case fine results
had followed. She pointed out how
this would result in having the com-
make voluntary contributions
to extend the school term and better
educational conditions, saying that
in Wake these conditions had amount-
ed to as much as one year's school
fund in the past seven years. To do
this work of enlisting the community
and working with the community
spirit, means sacrifice, but it pays
in the end.
Miss Royster spoke of a number of
things which she hoped soon to see
in the public schools coming through
the co-operation of teachers and
community. She mentioned specially
the individual drinking cup, oral
and rural libraries. These are
means to get community interests. She
said in her county co-operation was
being added by the Union.
On this excellent talk to the school
Miss Royster said many things which
will be exceedingly to the
teachers in their work, and her visit
here was an occasion of much pleas-
to the school. She will always
be a welcome visitor here.

can readily be shown upon a map,

corrected by men who fly above the

Chinese in the Philippines.
The Chinese merchants in the Phil-
form the greater portion of
the import market and are still in a
greater degree the collectors of our
exports. Their business ramifications
are without equal. The Manila
houses distribute and collect to and
from others in the provincial ports,
which in turn spare and gather from
the various towns where Chinese de-
posits are in touch with the stores
in the barrios through which small
and individual
sellers and buyers are reached. In
this respect they are the very back-
bone of the merchant community
and the stand-by of Philippine trade.
As a distributing medium they are
content with a very small profit, and
when one considers the very reason-
able figure asked for the commodities
of life by the little village or barrio
it will be seen how small
must necessarily be the profits of
the three or four middlemen. Of
course, many of the large import and
exports bodegas in Manila are own-
ed by Americans and European firms
as well as by Chinese, but the med-
of collection and distribution is

inning by scoring one run, but in the
second Greenville recovered with six
to the good, making seven runs, thus
standing until the sixth, when two
more runs were added, and then to
the eighth and ninth when three
more were put on, making a total of
twelve. Heavy slugging of the Sloan
balls and some misplays put Kinston
to the bad.

NORTH CAROLINA IN 1781.
Got. Letter Describing
at That Time.
An interesting letter from Abner
hash, Governor of North Carolina
and member of the constitutional con-
to Gen. Nathaniel Greene, Gran-
ville county, May 1781, brought
at auction in Philadelphia a few
ago. Nash, whose autograph
is rare, gives in the letter an account
of the deplorable condition of affairs
in his state at that trying period,
when Gen. Greene was trying to de-
feat the British forces under Lord
Cornwallis. Nash
my endeavors to raise the
even to obstruct the march of
Lord Cornwallis through this state,
proved in vain. I was myself in
their front most of the way, but able
to effect nothing. They have now
passed over Roanoke into Virginia,
where the joined enemy are greatly
an for the Marquis,
His force is not only small,
but he mentions in the letter of the
15th that he knows nothing of the
Pennsylvania troops.
Virginia militia are for the
present fresh and spirited, and I
hope they will prove of great support
to the Marquis. Our militia, especial
of the lower parts, are good for
nothing. I congratulate you, sir, on
your success against the enemy to
the southward, their being compelled
by the judicious methods you took
to abandon their strong posts in the
heart of the country.
Marquis is very public spirit-
ed and disinterested. He wishes me
to have much more at heart the re-
you than himself. Great
numbers have taken protection on
parole of Lord Cornwallis on his
march through the country, and par-
ties of robbers, commanded by
of his commissioning, rang-
through the committing
murder, robberies, and every species
of enormity. Could you permit Gen.
Summer to remain a while to assist
in punishing the guilty and in re-
covering Wilmington to this poor
distressed, and wretched
In the course of nine months Gen.
Greene recovered from the British
the three Southern states, North Car-
and South Carolina, Georgia,
and, at the close of 1781, had all of
the enemy's forces below Virginia
hemmed within the cities of Charles-
ton and Savannah.

The express office in this city was

crate by the gently kicking and pro-
testing pony. It was, however, got-
