And Cost Producing

Tobacco arming, present and
is probably engaging the at-
of the of Eastern
North Carolina more just at this time
than ever before. The all-important
and perplexing question of labor is
one that must be solved by each in-
farmer, and those of us who
have had experience, hesitate before,
going tOO last in the preparation of
land without adequate labor supply,
especially the preparation tor a to-
crop, The farmers of this sec-
who have grown tobacco con-
for the past several years
have expressed themselves very
freely dining the last, few months, and
many of them seem to be growing
tired of tobacco culture unless great-
inducements In the way of high
prices are offered them for the crop.
The high price of cotton and its
comparative easy culture, requiring
less skilled labor and less attention,
will largely take the place of tobacco
culture in this section, unless the
get what they consider profit-
able prices for their tobacco. There
has been more concern expressed
about the question this year than
ever before. Ten years ago, a crop
tobacco could be made an an av-
of at least per cent, per
pound cheaper than it can now. Ten
years ago, mules were fifty per cent.

have kept some books on the cost
of growing tobacco, and while in my
particular case, it may cost me more
money to make a crop of tobacco than
i; does the average farmer, yet I am
constrained to that the ma-
of farmers in Eastern North
will agree that my figures
are not far from correct. Ten years
ago an average crop of tobacco could
be made and marketed for an aver-
cost of fifty-five to sixty dollars
per acre. My experience last year
and this has been that it will cost
front seventy-five to ninety dollars
per acre, depending largely upon lo-
cal labor conditions,

Engineer Dunn stuck to his post and
escaped unhurt, his fireman, Ed
Watson, colored, jumped and
slight injuries. None of the
passengers were hurt. The engine
almost turned completely over. The
front part was completely torn away,
the front trucks were knocked from
the engine, and she lay this morning
deeply buried in the dirt and mud.
The track was torn up, the cross ties
so badly demolished that it was
to put new ones down, the rails
were twisted as if they were nothing
more than wire.
One or two flat cars and about the
same number of gondolas on the

are fit only for the scrap pile.

St mis In Upper Story and Goes
Through Several Rooms.
During a storm Monday afternoon
lightning cut quite a caper at the
home of Mr. J. G. Taylor, near Sta-
ton's. It struck the house in one of
the corner boxes under the eves, run
down into one of the second story
rooms splintering a poet as It went,
then switched across to another room
where it split open one post and a
bedstead. Then it dropped down In-
to a room on the first floor, where
it knocked some of the enamel off of
an iron bedstead. From this room it
went through the floor and followed
a sill under the house to the outside
of the building, where it went to the
ground on a lightning rod. The track
of the lightning all through the build-
could be easily traced by the
signs it left.
Another remarkable thing is that
while several members of the family
were in the house, not one of them
was injured. Mrs. Taylor had some
goods on the bed in the lower room
and was leaning over this cutting
out a garment when the bedstead was
struck, and it did not even shock her.
There was a tremendous rain

Editor
I will give what I think is a fair
estimate of the loss or damage to my
five acres of tobacco by the hail of
August 20th. Have already sold what
was left of it. There was pounds
beaten off on the ground. About
pounds of this was dirt, leaving
pounds of tobacco at cents. It
should have brought at least to
cents if it had not been damaged in
this way, so from leaves cents
loss on the Then
we sold 1,496 pounds at cents, which
was a loss of from to cents, say
and we have loss on this
lot. There was a loss in actual weight
of perhaps pounds, the butt end
of many leaves broken and left on
the stalks, here we have a loss of
say Summing up we have
total,
This Is the estimated loss on our
hired crop of acres. Our tenants
had about or acres but some
of their crops were not damaged so
much, as they were nearer done
on account of not having so much
replanted tobacco as myself. I had
a better stand, having replanted more
times and they.
One thing peculiar about the sale of
hail damaged tobacco was that
but one buyer would have it at all,
that it sold cheap. It being large-
tips and badly torn it could not
be stemmed.
The area covered by this hail was
very small, not but or yards
wide and not so much more than
double that length.

GALLOWAY'S ROADS
Sell Your Tobacco on Warehouse Floor
There never has been a time when it
was prudent for farmers to sell their
tobacco at their pack houses, or at
a private sale. My observation during
the past twenty years, dealing in and
selling tobacco has been that the
who sells his tobacco at a private
sale loses nine times in ten. I believe
the open floor is the fair-
est and best way tobacco was ever
sold. While some tobacco is sold in
this way for less than market value
at times, during the glutted market,
it is not Improbable that any man
will overlook some piles of tobacco,
but if the warehouseman understands
his business, and is a conscientious
man, very few piles will escape his
attention, and if a pile be over-
looked, will correct the error, and in-
stead of taking offense at the turned
tag, will appreciate any patron calling
his attention to the mater. Of course,
there are people who take in tobacco
when there is positively no excuse for
it, but where a pile has been over-
looked and has failed to bring the
market value, any warehouseman who
wants to do his duty, will be glad to
make proper disposition of it, either
by advancing the price, or keeping it
for another sale. Farmers who sell
tobacco at their pack houses, or at
a private sale, are entirely at a dis-
advantage, for the man who buys it is
better on the market often
knows more about the methods of
marketing, and is therefore in posit-
ion to get the best of the bargain. No
blame should be attached to the buy-
is the farmer who should re-
fuse to sell in this way. He makes
the tobacco, and it requires hard
work; constant attention, and a great
deal of risk, and whatever profit there
in it, certainly belongs to the man
who produces it. Therefore, a wise
course for farmers to pursue is to
decide positively not to sell tobacco
except at a public sale.

Thomas Pearce, a nephew, Joshua

Marshal Kline and Edward

WASHINGTON Sept. the
tenth day of May, 1902, the govern-
filed a petition for an injunction
against the beef trust in the Federal
court at Chicago. On July 1911,
the packers, after having obtained
forty-two delays and postponements
in the intervening nine years, again
pleaded not guilty, and for the forty-
third time their trial was postponed,
this time until November of this
year.
The status of the beef trust prose-

was the day the first papers were filed
nearly a decade ago. The much-her-
of this gigantic
prosecution which has been
directed by one Republican attorney
general after amounted
to less than nothing.
Every man. woman and child in
the country is convinced that the
trust operates in violation of the law,

campaign to stop these viola-

But only when these facts are con-
can be the full significance of
the president's action be grasped.
First, that the people of Arizona
by a vote of three to one declared in
favor of the recall.
Second that in order to obtain state-
hood the people of Arizona must go
to the polls again and vote against a
principle of government that they
have already voted in favor of, and
which they believe to be right.
By thus concerning the people to
vote against a thing which their best
judgment tells them to be wise,
threatening to withhold from that
people, unless they vote as the
chief executive dictates rights to
which they are justly entitled under
the constitution, President Taft
committed himself to an action which
is without precedent in the history
of the American republic.

September Kick
As stated in these columns some
days ago the three principal railroads
in the State are kicking against their
assessment for taxation and ask that
their properties ho valued like other
property for taxation. claim that
a number of counties have assessed
too low compared to them. As a re-
of their action notice has been
served on the Hoards of County Com-
missioners and the County Assessors
in four counties Forsyth, Davidson,
Wilson and conic forward and
tell of the assessed value of the prop-
city in their counties, to show whether
the assessment is at the true value in
money; If not, why there has been a
failure to obey the law; and to show
why, if the value has been put too
low, why the values of the ands
should not be increased as provided
the Machinery Act, to put it in pro-
value with other property
in the State.
This action follows the complaint of
the Southern Railway and the At-
Coast Line Railway that their
assessments arc too high, at nearly
full value, in comparison with other
assessed property values In the State.
This matter was heard on Tuesday,
I he Seaboard Air Line to be heard on
Saturday, and there were affidavits
from the County Assessors of the
four counties named that property was
assessed about BO per cent and some
at about per cent of its value. From
other counties there was testimony
and affidavits of property being assess-
ed at from to per cent of value,
but the commission has decided that
it will act first in the matter of these
counties whose County Assessors have
given affidavits of the lower figures
of from to per cent.
The matter is a most important one,
and the letter sent out to the tax of-
of Forsyth, Davidson, Wilson
and Pitt, calling thorn to be present
in Raleigh on Wednesday, September
indicates that the matter is to be
fully investigated and action taken to
values in the various

THE BAGGING QUESTION
IMPORTANT TO FARMERS
KOBE ABOUT THE COTTON TABS.
Six Per Cent of the Entire Weight is
Deducted.
N. C, Sept., have
noticed, in your paper for several
days, an article headed, An Import-
ant Cotton Notice, signed by
the Norfolk and Portsmouth cotton
exchange, relative to cotton bagging
and weight of cotton bales.
Now Mr. Editor there are two sides
to the question. The farmers do not
want any more than rightfully be-
longs to them, but they do want and
need ah that does belong to them.
To show the other side of the question
that is, the farmers side, you are re-
quested to publish the enclosed clip-
ping from the Progressive Farmer of
recent date, which puts the whole
situation in a nutshell.
Yours truly,
W. T. PRICE.
commercial bale of cotton is
reckoned at pounds, including
bagging and ties. The price of cotton
is always fixed in reference to this
tare. A bale weighing pounds is
allowed by the exchanges to carry
pounds of bagging and ties. That is,
pounds are deducted or discount-
ed in the world's price for this cotton.
So that, if less than pounds is
placed upon the bale, the spinner
gains. If more than pounds, he
loses. If more than pounds is put
on weight bale, the farmer gains.
If less than pounds, he loses.
a word, per cent is deducted
from the individual bale, if only one
bought, or from the aggregate
weight of the lot if a number of bales
are bought. Therefore if the farmer
puts less than per cent of bagging
and ties in the gross weight of the
bale, he loses whatever difference
there may be. To Suppose
his bale weighs pounds, and he
only bounds of bagging and
ties on that bale. He not only loses
the pounds of bagging and ties,
but eight pounds of his cotton be-
sides.

BELIEVE IN AND WORK
How One Man Talked Scissors And
Sold Scissors.
HANRAHAN, N. C, Sept.
for more than a week I have been
trying to think of something worth
the while to say. And the longer I
withhold and look and listen, the
more fully I am convinced that a ma-
of us mortals are only play-
at life's problems. We who sow
the soil expect to reap, but so few
of us are in love with our work. We
nearly all of us think that you, Mr.
Editor, and that other man who from
early dawn until far into the shad-
of the night has to deal with and
try to satisfy the public, has, oh,
such a happy time of it. Just any-
thing except that thing which we arc
called upon to do out of the way
with our work, child-like, anxious to
do that which we can't do.
Oh, that we could learn to love the
things that we are called to do, and
stop wishing that you were me and
were you. Let's be in earnest
about our callings, be that ever so
humble. If our purpose is honest,
then our work is honorable, and if
we will only learn to love it then we
will impress others with the import-
ant fact that work, honest work, is
a physical, all-mental and a spirit-
blessing, and far from being a
cure as so many deem it.
I have watched with peculiar in-
one man who sold scissors.
There was nothing specially peculiar
about the scissors except a little at-
but this man was so in love
with and therefore so enthused that
he talked scissors to every one he
came in contact with, and he not only
talked scissors but sold scissors to
almost every house in miles
square. Why did he sell so many
scissors Because he honestly be-
that the scissors he sold were
the best scissors that has ever or ever
will be manufactured by any com-
that makes scissors, and he was
so In earnest in it that he made
believe with him. He had it fig-
out to such a fine point that he
could tell a woman just how many
pounds pressure she would use In
a day's cutting with the ordinary
scissors, and how many pounds bur-
den she would take from her weary
arm in a day by using his scissors,
and, too, how much her fair and
muscles needed this rest. Twas
love for his work that made his
speech catchy, and when he
had supplied every store that sold
dry goods, leather or tin, every shop
with a streaked pole in front, and
every home with a mother and child
and there are no homes without these,
he sighed because there were no more
people who needed scissors. But
such devotion to work not go
long without being rewarded, by a
call to a more noble and grander
position. So he was very soon given
the agency for a weekly newspaper.
His zeal for this was even more in-
tense, and he talked his paper to
every one he met and sold it to
most, if not quite, every one he talked
to. I have heard him stand and
plead so earnestly the merits of his
paper that he almost persuaded me
to believe that one get the news
out of his weekly one or two days
sooner it could possibly be ob-
from a daily. How this can
be done he can explain satisfactory.
I can't. If any daily wants an agent
who can make many people believe
that if they will take the paper that
he represents they, through that pa-
per, can get all the news sooner than
it can be sent them by wire, even
though they had a telegraph office
this man can do it and would soon
have all the post offices in his
so crowded with the daily paper
that other boxes would have to be
supplied. Please don't all the state
dailies apply for his services at once,
but any one will do well to secure
him. I can vouch for his of
purpose. He loves his work.

An Organization That Is Doing Some-
thing for Farmers.
it a little peculiar that from
the day the Farmer's Consolidated
Tobacco Co., began business in Green-
ville it has been cussed and discussed
probably more than any other
in the county since the days
of the farmers alliance. The stock-
holders of the company have been
given lots of free advice and all kinds
of dreadful prophecies have been made
yet it continues to do business and
no calamity has yet befallen any
stockholder that we know of, on ac-
count of his stock. And what is more
the stockholders have each drawn
their share of the dividends while
some of them have actually sold their
tobacco elsewhere. The employees of
this company from president down
seem to have the habit of attending
to their own business and have no
connection or anything to do with
any other warehouse business.
No combination or reasonable con-
will very long prevent people
who pursue this policy from doing
business, especially if the tobacco
farmers once fully realize the true
situation.
On third page of this paper will be
found a large advertisement of this
company, calling particular attention
to their two warehouses in Greenville
the Star with F. D. Foxhall, mgr.,
and the Gum with J. J. Gentry, mgr.
Besides getting at these houses the
best prices that can be obtained any-
where, the farmers who have stock
in the company get their share of the
annual dividends arising from the
business. Many in Pitt county know
how well this has paid them. It is to
the interest of the farmers to sell at
their own warehouses, for besides get-
ting the best prices they help to make
larger dividends on their own

ELECTRICAL DEVELOPMENT.
The editorial that appeared in the
Reflector some days ago about
development, and pointing to
it as an agency destined to do much
in transforming North Carolina, seems
have attracted much attention.
Not only were there a number of
quests for copies of the paper con-
the article, but also letters
about it which indicated that others
were interested -ind thinking about
this important subject. One gentle-
man who has been instrumental n
the development of water powers, and
is interested in electrical power,
writes that he has for sometime had
in mind such development throughout
Eastern North Carolina as The Re-
suggested. He presented the
matter to some of his banker friends
with the view of interesting them and
found that they had considered If
from the same standpoint, and the
outcome was investigation along that
line.
The gentlemen in question says the
manufacture and sale of electrical
current is a highly technical business
and requires considerable experience
to make it a success. This can best
be done by a consolidation of small
electrical properties into one large
central station in the hands of ex-
perts to serve the towns, instead of
from a number of small, inefficient
and uneconomical individual plants.
The gentleman adds the plan
which you suggest be carried out, it
will be the biggest step forward in
turning the garden spot of North
Carolina into an industrial
While The Reflector feels gratified
that its suggestion attracted such
wide attention and is being acted up-
on by electrical operators,
has shown that an obstacle to
linking together in a great power
system the several good Eastern
towns mentioned in the former
is municipal ownership of
Never In the history of Greenville
have the business men of the town had
such an opportunity for advertising
as now, yet they fail to take
age of it and they arc the greatest
losers by this neglect. Here In The
Daily Reflector sending out more than
papers every day, and while its
columns show a liberal amount of
advertising, it is noticeable that so
few of the local merchants are among
the advertisers, yet all want more
business and complain because they
do not get it.
The last issue of the Pitt County
News was a double size special
that carried many large attract-
advertisements, yet they were
mainly from business men of other
towns in the county and Greenville
taking very little part In such an op-
for publicity.
Does this mean that a majority of
Greenville merchants course it
does not apply to are wanting
in enterprise It certainly makes
such an impression upon those who
read the town's papers. It also
means that Greenville merchants are
letting the enterprising business men
of other towns invade their own
and draw trade which could be
brought here with the proper effort.
The business men of the other towns
have a perfect right to draw all the
trade they can, and when they show
sufficient enterprise to do this the
local dealers have only themselves to
blame for losing it. They have the
opportunity if they will use it.
There are fully fifty business
houses in Greenville that ought to
be regular advertisers, and their town
papers are just as good, have as
large circulation, with just as low
advertising rates as those of other
towns. These papers will help make
business for the town if the business
men will do their part.
have entered upon their duties-
It can be said of the retiring
members of the commission that they
served well. Though but little re-
came for their services
they gave much personal attention to
the conduct of the municipal plants
placed in their charge. When they
took charge, three yeas ago, the
plant had not reached a paying basis,
but in these three years its physical
condition has been vastly improved,
the service extended and made better
all the time, and the net earnings for
the time have been something over
They turn over the plant to
their successors in good condition.
The thanks of the town is due them
for their faithful administration.
Guilty of murder in the first de-
was the verdict of the jury that
brought to a close the famous trial
of Henry Clay Jr., for the
murder of his wife. There had been
much speculation as to what the
would be. himself dis-
played an air of all through
the trial, and said with confident air
that the jury would either bring in
a verdict of acquittal or disagree. He
has learned otherwise, for in
juries are found who will say
that the man who murders his wife
should be punished for his crime.
The corporation commission is after

seems that this has come about by
the affidavits of certain parties that
much property has not been assess-
ed at near its real value. We do not
know what the investigation will de-
but there is hardly a doubt
that some people pay more, and
less than their just part of the
taxes.
When we read of mills and factories
being organized in other towns, it
makes us long all the more for such
things to come to Greenville. Surely
no town needs them worse than this,
and they could be made to pay here
as well as elsewhere. Some of these
days men with means will see the
wisdom of getting together and es-
them. Factories are things
that are going to come here, but the
trouble just now is that they arc so
slow about coming.
Elections in the two new states of
New Mexico and Arizona will be held
in November and the United States
senators will be chosen in January.
William M. Andrews the present
Republican delegate from New

Ralph A. Cameron, the present Re-
publican from Arizona, is
expected to be in the running from
that state.
Only a few weeks ago the death
of the mother of Governor Kitchin
occurred in Scotland Neck. This is
followed quickly with the announce-
of the death of the mother of
Lieutenant Governor Newland in
Lenoir. Both these have
the sympathy of many friends
throughout the state.
It developed at the annual meeting
of the members of Carolina Club,
Wednesday night, that interest in the
club had waned to some extent. This
should not be the case. In past years
the club has proven of considerable
benefit to the community, and could
continue to be of help to the town
with proper interest. There was
that perhaps the introduction
of individual lockers would inject
more interest in the club. We think
this a mistaken idea, and that nothing
would mean a more certain and hasty
death to the club than to have lockers
It should be an organization noted
for morality and the elevation of
high ideals.
CHANGE IN COMMISSIONERS.
The personnel of the Greenville
water and light commission under-
went a change a few day ago. For
the past three years the commission
has been composed of Messrs. H. A.
White, R. L. Humber and C.
The term of the first
two having expired, the board of
recently elected Messrs. D.
S. Spain and L. W. Tucker to

If there is to be any base ball lea-
in this section next year, by all
means let it be composed strictly of
home teams. It is no particular
to a town to have a team of hired
players whose only identity is the
uniform and the name of the town.
The teams of hired players are also
too much expense to the towns sup-
porting them. When the home boys
of one town play against the home
boys another town, then there is
some reason of local pride and inter-
est.
When a preacher gets a reputation

The depravity of human nature is

they were in jail.

GOOD ADVICE TO FARMERS.
Handle Tobacco Carefully Don't
Let It Get In too High Order.
During the last few years there has
not been very much need for
co farmers to exercise any extra-
ordinary care in preventing tobacco
from getting in too soft order, be-
cause our falls have been unusually
dry. This year it seems natural to
suppose that very probably we shall
have more water in the atmosphere
than usual, and, consequently, there
greater danger of tobacco
or running red in being handled
while in such soft order. I
several years ago, about this sea-
son of the year, we had a protracted
spell of wet, soft weather, and farm-
could not work at anything else
except grade tobacco. They did this,
and in about a week or ten days,
threw the whole thing on the market
and ran the prices down two or three
cents a pound.
Buyers cannot be expected to pay
the highest prices for tobacco in bad
condition. The exercise of ordinary
care and prudence in grading
co during the next twenty or thirty
days will do away with this risk en-
At this particular time, when
the atmosphere is full of moisture,
farmers had better do nothing than
to grade their tobacco and then fill
the warehouse full of it in too high
order, to be sold at lower prices.
Buyers who get it run the risk at
the same time of having lots of it
damaged on their all of which
tends to lower prices and keep them
lower.

are wondering if the veil of mystery
will be lifted from the sub-
treasury theft when George W.
Fitzgerald is tried for the alleged
at the present- term of
the Federal court.
Public opinion as to Fitzgerald's
guilt or innocence is divided, as it
has been since the finger of suspicion
was first pointed at him. Many per-
sons firmly believe the accused man
is the unfortunate victim of a great
mistake. Others do not hesitate to
declare their opinion that Fitzgerald
is one of the smoothest rogues with
which Uncle Sam's secret service

of 1908, when Fitzgerald, who had
been a government for
years, walked from his cage over to
the cashier's, F. C. Russell, and told
him he was short
An examination of Fitzgerald's
books showed that the shortage was
not a matter of bookkeeping, but of
actual loss. Further investigation, it
is said, developed that by strange
coincidence the balance retained by
the assorting teller in his custody the
night before was the exact amount
of money missing. Inquiry at Wash-
showed that the money had
not been shipped there by mistake.

Horse Markets Gaining.

motor truck and other self-propelled

not only holding its own, but actual-
increasing to an almost incredible
extent.
The official semi-annual stock re-
port sent out recently from St. Louis

number of horses sold this year in
comparison with 1910. During the
first six months of 1911 receipts at
St. Louis were head as against

of sand bed, over which the toiling
animals crept, and a streak of axle-

are firm, smooth, well-bridged and a

KOBE ADVICE IX THIS SUBJECT.
Experience of Farmers Hare
Greatly Improved Their Soils.
Suppose your wheat had been sow-
ed on the surface of this soil with
this mass of vegetation underneath
or suppose your corn crop had been
planted. In the first three inches of
this soil, what would have happened
In neither case would the plant roots
have gone below this mass of
to the moist soil beneath and
in neither case could capillary at-
traction have raised the moisture
from the sub-soil through this mass
vegetation to the famishing plant
roots above it. But one result would
be inevitable. Your crop would die
for lack of moisture, notwithstanding
you may have a normal amount of
rain fall during the season.
You have not set up a chemical
but a mechanical condition in your
soil that allows the rain water to pass
down into the sub-soil but will not
allow capillary to return into the
surface soil to supply the needs of
the growing crop and it is only the
capillary water, or the water on its
return movement to the surface, that
feeds the plant. Not only so but all of
the soluble nitrates in the surface
or ten inches are leached out and car-
down into the sub-soil and

vines, weeds, etc., has been removed
by a subsequent plowing or the
processes of decay. The
face soil is thus made poorer and dry-
by the localization of this mass
or green manure just below the
face. How shall we avoid this con-
Mr. T. D. Brown, of Salisbury,
solved the problem this season on his
own land. He had crimson clover
on a piece of land that yielded about
six tons of green manure to the
acre he wanted to play down
for corn. This is a very large amount

one time, especially during this sea-

Mr. Brown dragged his clover down
with a heavy drag, then cut it three
or four times while yet green with
a sharp twenty-inch weighter disc

cut the clover into short pieces he
plowed it under as deeply as his
teams could pull it. He then set his
disc at a slight angle and disced the

evaporation. The formation of am-

Some Suggestions For Making It A
Great Occasion.
Southern Pines Tourist.
The Tourist understands that Road
Supervisor is to begin work
on the new Raeford Boulevard the
first of next week. That sounds
good, not only to residents and prop-
owners out that way but to the
merchants of Southern Pines and Rae-
ford, all of whom will stand a chance
to profit by the new highway. The
probability of the new road was a
factor in recent land sales in that
section, as the writer knows from
correspondence which was shown him
from time to time. Some deals were
not closed until the building of the
road was assured by the action of the
Hoke county commissioners and the
township road authorities.
At the present time prices are better
and the chances of selling land in that
region are greatly enhanced by the
fact that the road it to be built.

He then laid off his corn rows almost
as deeply as he had plowed the land
and planted his corn in the bottom of
these furrows, covering it shallow.
Some days ago when I saw the field
there was hardly a fired blade to be
seen while his other corn on similar
land on the opposite side of the road
was burned to the ear. By thus
mixing the organic matter in this
cut up condition with the whole soil
stratum the water was able to pass
down from the surface to the sub-
soil and to rise from the sub-soil to
the surface again without being ob-

FARMVILLE, N. C, Sept. 1911.
Editor
The readers of your paper are
pretty well advised about the coming
Pitt county fair. Still I met an in-
man in Farmville who did
not know that a fair was to be, and
I have met several who did not know
the date. This reminds me that the
fair management should get out some
posters and distribute them about
the county. If the board of managers
individually do not exert themselves
right much, I fear we shall not have
the exhibits that the county might
furnish.
I insist on the public dinner at
the Liberty warehouse, as the so-
gathering there will be worth a
great deal. No one need prepare a
very expensive basket, but bring the
have, and if you have a rare
dish, or know how to prepare a
food from what is in common
use, then will be a good opportunity
to teach others how to prepare it.
We have got to eat and the
rants in town will not be able to
feed us all between twelve and two
o'clock.
If the merchants and factories
would close at eleven and open again
at two, they would lose very little, and
the wage earners would have a pleas-
ant and profitable time. Cannot
everybody in town suspend work at
eleven o'clock and take those hours
holiday If everybody will not ac-
this suggestion, let each one who
can conveniently do so. Remember
this fair, if a success, will do much
in a financial way for Greenville.
I see that the chamber of commerce
and the local union of
Craven county propose to have a fair
at New Bern in November. So you
see our example is being followed
by other progressive communities.
Pitt, being a large county, needs
something which all love and
for to keep us united, to arouse
that county pride which is so
to the people of a community.
We wish all her people to have that
love for Pitt county that the late
Senator Williams used to have. He

Second-Crop Cotton.
The other day a gentleman from
the lower Rio Grand valley appeared
on the floor of the Houston cotton
exchange and exhibited a novelty In
the way of a cotton stalk that at-
universal interest. It was a
thrifty-looking stalk four and one-
half feet high, and contained one
hundred and fifty bolls and squares.
It was represented as a fair sample
of the twelve-acre field from which
it was cut The peculiarity which
made it of interest consisted In the
fact that it was a second-growth
stalk. After picking nine bales, the
planter irrigated tho patch and new
shoots sprang up from the root and
will have plenty of time to mature
at least a bale to the acre. This was
off of the land which this year pro-
the earliest bale of cotton ever
marketed. Neighboring farmers are
treating their lands in a similar
some cutting down the old
stalks, while others planted new seed
in between the old rows, and all have
a fine prospect of profitable results.
This incident is surprising in that
it makes a double crop of
cotton in one year from a single
planting, but that is only an extreme-
limited area, for the season else-
where is too brief to permit
growth and for more than
one crop, and that not always en-
satisfactory. The early frosts
often do their deadly work before
the crop Is fully ripe and ready for
the pickers. The Texans will have to
discover a good deal more such land
before a second crop of cotton has
any appreciable effect on the mar-

The people in the states get little
conception from the press dispatches
and newspaper reports of the real

dispatches tell mainly of bad things
that transpire, with riots here and

create the impression that all Mex-
is in a revolution and is filled
with robbers and murderers.

I have been down here for
about three weeks and have been
very optimistic the whole time, and
dead in love with this country, until
today. However, I am not very much
alarmed over the day's excitement,
and think there will not be anything
serious over the political trouble that
will affect the Americans here. We
have a rotten American editor here
who seems to get everything possible
from the American papers regarding
this country in a detrimental way
and publishes it, keeping an
feeling among the natives toward
the American people in this country.
For instance, in yesterday's paper
there was a statement that the
States had sent double troops to
every military post on the Mexican
border to be used in any trouble be-
tween this country and the United
States, and since this has been re-
ported untrue. Anyway, whether it
is true or not, the statement goes out
and keeps an unfriendly feeling by
Mexicans for us.
As I see this country, it is in just
about as good condition as most part
of our States, and if our government
will adjust and protect home mat-
such as we have had in the West
among the labor unions for the past
few months, and leave Mexico alone,
I think all of us would be better off.

what was right when they overthrew

no doubt everything will go well and
this country will be financially in

than the commonest ever

that to the government, which has
been heretofore squandered among
those few who ruled the country.

be elected. The opposing party who
are the money people of this country,
can not afford to rule out,
as it will not only be the means of
them losing their money and property
through revolutions, but they will
their country.
The common people are fighting
for what is right and just, and I for
one want to see them have justice.
I was like the most of the Americans
in my attitude of the situation, until
I came down here and have studied
the conditions. These poor people
should have some consideration and
should have the advantage of
education, just the same as our poor
people in the states, and the poor la-
boring man should get enough for his
work to buy his family meat and
bread.
Most of the Americans here, as
well as in the states, favor and
his party, simply because they were
getting some of the resources which
was robbed from these poor natives.
I am a common man myself and take
a common platform and want to see
every man get what is justly due him.
The trouble today arose from
the Reyes sympathizers undertaking
to parade the streets in a body of
several thousand, but were dispersed
and scattered when met by an op-
posing party of and there
followed a riot. To subdue them the
mounted officers beat many of them
down with their weapons. There
were thousands of brick-bats, many
clubs and hand pieces used but not
a shot was fired in the whole time.
The government guards were
mediately called out, and soon re-
stored order, but the have
been the streets in bodies
of to and threatening trouble
all day. These poor ignorant fellows
think they are doing the right thing,
and are not conscious of the wrong
they are doing. They are punished
and kept down so near like dogs that
some of them look at life as being
nothing but mere and not
living. Their Indian blood makes
them a very peculiar class of people.
If you are kind to them, they will be
as respectful and humble as any
in the South.
While I sympathize with the poor
peons personally, we do not get any-
thing out of them, and our business
is altogether among the better class
of people. Since I have been here I
have met some of the finest people

coroner's jury returned a verdict of
death from unknown causes. As a
matter of fact, there are rumors of
suicide and of a worse crime having
been committed.
Miss Hawkins disappeared from
her home last Thursday. A quiet
search since failed to locate her.
the in which she was found is
encircled daily by hundreds of car-
and automobiles. From the
condition of the body, it is reasonable
to suppose that she had been in the
water for several days, but ample
is also thereto shown that the
girl was dead before her body touch-
ed the water. Miss parents
are very prominent here.
It is said that opposition existed
to Myrtle's approaching marriage to
a young business man of Johnson

eloped with him, her parents, it is

that death ensued at least
hours before the body was placed in
the water. Evidence brought out
subsequent to the finding of the
body point to the fact that the body

As stated before there were no
of violence on the body, but

So Declare a Prominent
Lawyer.
Chas. J. Hayden, of Atlanta, prom-
lawyer and student of
who has just returned from a
visit to the spinning districts of Eng-
land, believes an
plot is underway to depress the price
of cotton during the opening season.
Discussing its dimensions, its
and the remedy, Mr. Hayden
expressed himself yesterday as fol-
lows to a Constitution
tacit combine almost world-
wide proposes to bear this year's cot-
crop. It is a sympathetic strike. The
spinners are closely organ-
and between them and
spinners there is a fraternal
Community of interest. New Eng-
land's policy is, of course, always to
depress the raw staple. The
of Eastern financial in-
is with the buyers. These
things do not require proof, for they
are facts patent to those who observe,
cotton gambler is a friend
only to himself. He has been for some
years on the bull side because is was
the winning side. The government's
recent prophecy of a large crop,
coupled with some indictments of the
big speculators, will no doubt have
a persuasive effect in lining up the
gambler with the bears in the com-
campaign.

past ten years they arc still placed

to a trade custom by which he sells
cotton on CO days credit and discounts
his draft. The foreign buyer still as-

This is required of no other American

openly upon the presumption of com-
bad faith in the South. Cot-

growers to command financial aid

AND ROADS
REPLY TO LAST LETTER.
Only an exceptionally pretty girl
can afford to be hard to please.
Mr. Manning Still Apposed lo Sand-
Clay
GREENVILLE, N. C, Sept.
Editor In reply to Y.
I wish to say, that in my opinion
the tax to keep the convicts is a
general tax and if the bill does state
that there shall not be any other road
tax levied and collected in Greenville
township, it doesn't state that there
shall not be a general tax collected.
The matter will bear investigating.
Some of our men who know law ought
to state the fact, and as to the sand-
clay road not being a success, I will
say that I have spoken from experience
and as a student of I will go
further and say that Pitt county hasn't
the proper material to build sand-
clay roads. Our clay is too soft with
too much fine grit in it, and is easily
washed away. A visit to almost any
hill side in Pitt county will show
gullies and barren land which will
tell the tale.
And furthermore, where are we
going to get sand I heard a govern-
expert say proper sand to
use is a coarse sand with small stones
in There isn't any such sand in
this section except in Tar river. If we
haul the sand from the river it will
require or more to do that
alone.
Notice the sand-clay road and see
the small gullies on its sides and
notice the damage done already by
washing Each rain does its
part to destroy said road. Isn't it an
injustice to the future
to pay taxes on something that
will be worn out long before said
bonds are paid I say it is. Oh, you
say is wonderful how anything
could be of the service that this road
is without even having its drains
opened or surface smoothed since it
was What did the convicts do
when they worked it What did Mr.
W. P. Clark do with the split log
drag What has the road force done
The law says a road overseer
must work his road twice a
Who will say that will build
sand-clay roads over the entire town-
ship and keep them in good condition
for a period of years no truthful
citizen will say it.
The bill also states that the system
that is now in force dies with the
adoption of said bond issue. If there
is a road system established it will
require taxation and the bill says
shall not be any other road
tax levied and otherwise
than the interest, etc., on said lands.
Now, Mr. Y. show
are are you going to get your system
you caught in your own trap
We will either this law or let
the road wash away, and our children
will pay the price which is
able. Don't tell me that I am opposed
to good roads. I advocate good roads.
They mean so much for progress,
but I am opposed to artificial sand-clay
roads, they may be a success in the
western part of this stale but we
haven't got any of the western clay
and stones. Therefore I say let the
sand-clay roads build
something better or keep our same
road. Citizens I appeal to you to
Think then act.

WHETHER you feed or sell your hay, it should be baled.
Baled hay takes up much less room and nets a better
price than loose hay. It is always ready for any mark-

ever you can get. --ti .,;

IT WILL PAY
Tobacco Farmers, Handle Your To.
With Care.
Standing on the warehouse floor a
few days ago, a buyer remarked to
me that he had just bought some to-
on the floor that was grown
by a very good farmer, but that the
way it was graded and put on the
market damaged the sale of it from
two or three cents a pound. Said this
are frequently making
suggestions to the tobacco farmers
which I think are good, if they would
observe them, but you could not do
anything that would pay them so
well for the amount of expense and
trouble as to get them to handle
tobacco In this sentence, this
particular farmer happened to be a
man who has perfect control of his
farm, and if he were to exercise him-
self, could have . his tobacco
in just such condition as to de-
the best market price, when
I reminded him of what the buyer
had said about his tobacco, his
mediate reply don't doubt
it; for I could tell at a glance that
my tobacco was not handled as well
an the other tobacco on the floor, and
called the attention of my tenants to
Tobacco should be graded and
hung on sticks in proper order, and
then when put in bulk, the proper
way to make it look well when put
on the warehouse floor is to have a
wide, heavy board, and as each stick
of tobacco is bulked, straighten out
the leaves and press it down with
this board at the end of each day's
grading. The tobacco ought to have
a reasonable amount of weight on it,
so that the leaves are all straighten-
ed out, and if offered in this
on the market, the leaves all
stand out straight and show to the
best possible advantage. Neatness
all things on the farm pays and
pays well, but in no particular In-
stance do I believe it would pay bet-
than in the particular manner of
handling tobacco.

ANNIVERSARY OF H. B. HARRISS.
If a woman admits that she really
loves her husband a lot of other mar-
women pretend to fell sorry for
her.
Large Number of Friends And As.
Gather With Him.
The 19th of September was the
fifty-fifth birthday of our townsman,
Mr. H. Bentley Harriss, and much to
his surprise his good wife went about
making preparations to have a
of his friends enjoy a few hours
with them on this date. The dining
room was most artistically arranged,
the decorations being of golden rod
and scarlet sage. There were fifty-
five burning tapers, representing the
fifty-five years of his life. A
cued pig occupied the space between
the burning candles, bearing the
dates 1856-1911.
There was a guessing contest as
to what the pig represented, in which
all the guests participated. Mr. R.
W. King being the successful winner
in guessing was
with a box of cigars. Dr.
Laughinghouse, being the winner of
the booby prize, was presented with
a box of cigarettes.
The table was presided by
the hostess, Mrs. H. B. Harriss, and
her sister, Mrs. W. J. Turnage, and
the good things served were too nu-
to mention. Every one pres-
enjoyed to the fullest the
and all wish Mr. Harriss
many more years of prosperity and
happiness.
Those present were Messrs. J. A.
Lang, W. J. Turnage, W. M. Moore,
J. C. Lanier, B. F. Tyson, E. H. Shel-
burn, R. C. Flanagan, Dr. C.
Laughinghouse, F. M. Wooten, O. L.
Joyner, It. W. King, J. M. H.
T. King, J. L. Carper, Dr. T. G. Bas-
night, Warren, R. L. Humber.
and Charles Cobb.
As usually treated, a sprained an-
will disable a man for three or
four weeks, but by applying
Liniment freely as soon as
the injury is received, and observing
the direction with each bottle, a cure
can be effected in from two to four
days. For sale by all dealers.
Italy now imports more than fifty
million worth of cotton each
year. Hence the government is
carefully fostering all attempts to
produce a native crop.
