In the recent great <lb/>
up-rising of manhood <lb/>
we a notable <lb/>
fought with far reaching and <lb/>
consequences; imposing <lb/>
upon yon the entire responsibility <lb/>
and burden of State government, <lb/>
and as a part of this imperative <lb/>
duty of providing adequate <lb/>
for boys and <lb/>
girls of state. You will meet <lb/>
these responsibilities bravely and <lb/>
fearlessly, and discharge their <lb/>
ties patiently wisely. We are <lb/>
no longer, as in past, to be <lb/>
kept busy with the cares of <lb/>
serving our homes safe, but will <lb/>
reach out to participate more free- <lb/>
in the policies of the nation. <lb/>
We shall now strive on the higher <lb/>
plane of effort and Statesmanship. <lb/>
My political principles are those of <lb/>

The Bright Side. <lb/>
Look on bright side, it is <lb/>
ways the right side. The times <lb/>
may be hard, but it will make them <lb/>
no easier to wear a gloom and sad <lb/>
countenance, but will only make <lb/>
those around you unhappy. It is <lb/>
the sunshine, and not the cloud, <lb/>
makes the flower. The sky is <lb/>
blue ten times where it is black <lb/>
once. Yon have troubles, so have <lb/>
others; none are free from them, so <lb/>
don't waste your time worrying <lb/>
and fretting over them. Troubles <lb/>
give and tone to <lb/>
courage to man, though <lb/>
few of us arc ready to face it. <lb/>
That would lie a dull sea, and <lb/>
the sailor would never get skill, <lb/>
where there was nothing to <lb/>
surface of the ocean. <lb/>

dark, the lane will and the <lb/>
night will end a broad day. <lb/>

Much has been written and said <lb/>
about the crop <lb/>
Carolina. There have been many <lb/>
opinions expressed as to <lb/>
the shortage acreage <lb/>
My own has been <lb/>
t hat I he acreage was not cut more <lb/>
percent, and primarily I <lb/>
do not that the intent <lb/>
of farmers was to reduce more <lb/>
than that but w lieu planting time <lb/>
came farmers were short <lb/>
in plants as cut tor at this time <lb/>
was selling at a fair price there <lb/>
was a very notable indifference <lb/>
their part to swore plants so <lb/>
many who had intended planting <lb/>
tobacco put their land in cotton. <lb/>
The punier section of tobacco grow- <lb/>
the cast, that is east of <lb/>
son and Rocky Mount has not this <lb/>
year per cent. of a crop as com- <lb/>
pared last year on account of <lb/>
scarcity of plants. I know a <lb/>
farm where last year there was <lb/>
fifty sons tobacco this year there <lb/>
is i en and while as a matter of <lb/>
course this condition does not exist <lb/>
over any great section of the east <lb/>
yet the shortage is much greater <lb/>
than many at one time thought it <lb/>
would lie. as to the condition <lb/>
it is simply bad. I have con- <lb/>
with the tobacco business <lb/>
now about ten years I have <lb/>
never known as poor conditions as <lb/>
have existed for the last days. <lb/>
The crop was late to begin with <lb/>
there was little to grow the <lb/>
crop it grew up spindling and <lb/>
small. About the time curing <lb/>
commenced the bugs put <lb/>
their appearance and bare worked <lb/>
havoc many sections. <lb/>
There will be in <lb/>
conn ties this year lots of <lb/>
co standing the hill the 1st of <lb/>
September, a sight that not <lb/>
been seen this section <lb/>
years if ever. I was to <lb/>
travel through the country last <lb/>
and so much tobacco that <lb/>
had scarcely been touched, I <lb/>
am told Greene county it is <lb/>
even worse than it is here. I <lb/>
that the color this year will lie bet- <lb/>
than it has been in some time, <lb/>
; or at least will be, <lb/>
for there has been no rains to in- <lb/>
the curing and fill the <lb/>
tobacco with sap, this causing it to <lb/>
splotch. In the whole the <lb/>
the east is the worst I ever <lb/>
saw. <lb/>
