Editor Reflector As promised in my last, I write you now, giving you a few points as to my opinion of Dawson, and this portion Georgia. have been in and around here for a lit- more than a mouth, and kept my eyes open in order to see what was to be seen. In size, Dawson is a little larger than Greenville, and contains about the same number of In appearance it is behind Greenville, there j being no very prepossessing or at- tractive buildings hero. There are two churches, Baptist and dist, the congregations being about divided, but both houses are very ordinary looking. The , town should, by all means, have I better places of worship. These are a few of the points in which Greenville excels Dawson, now I will tell wherein this town is ahead of you all. What is lacking in love of is more than made up in push energy and enterprise. Everybody has some- thing to do and is doing it. is a small county, more than half as large as Pitt, and there are a number towns near Dawson to compete for trade, yet farmers from the adjoining ties of Webster, Lee, and Calhoun bring their cotton and other produce here to sell, and do a big part of their ding hero. There are two large variety mills j here which do a vast deal of work for the towns villages i rounding. Orders are often re- from a distance, Ala., and Macon coming in for a good share. And you will scarcely find a town anywhere that has a more efficient police force than Dawson They are feared and respected by all violators the law. Saturday is always the big day here, like it is in North Carolina, and while crowds of come here to trade and look around, they are very orderly and do not indulge in the boisterous language so common in the of Eastern During the five that U have been in and around son do not recollect to have hoard half a dozen oaths fall from the lips of any one on the streets, and I have heard other visitors make the same statement. Could any one be on the streets of Green- ville five hours without hearing more profanity than this There are two banks here that do a good business, and in that line also Greenville could j take pattern from this place A few days since I went out to the city cemetery, about halt a mile from the business portion of the city, and there I was made to blush for shame when I thought of the difference between the two towns in that respect. Here is neat and clean in the cemetery, the walks and burial lots properly cared for, and there are some as fine monuments and tomb- stones as can be found in most towns four or five times the size of this. In Greenville, while Cherry Hill is naturally a much prettier location than the cemetery in Dawson and could be made beau- with a little care and the ex- of a little money, my recollection of the place as last seen is that it was overgrown with weeds and shrubs and that the on- shown it was by who had loved ones buried there and who- did not wish for their graves to be entirely over- run with the weeds. The Be- has often alluded to this matter and urged the people of Greenville to pay more attention to the care, of their naturally beau- cemetery, and I would be glad to learn that the suggestions thrown out bad been acted upon. In making these comparisons I do not wish to be understood as trying to make little of Greenville for such is not my intention. I love the old town, think it is a little better than any other place and make these criticisms with the hope that they will do good. I have said enough about the town, and will now say something of what I think o the country. The farmers here, like those in Eastern Carolina, make cotton their principal crop, and a great deal of it is brought to this place and sold. And right here lot me say that the Georgia style of selling cotton is much more con- than in North Carolina. Instead of running to the different buyers in order to see what he can get for his cotton, all the farmer has to do is to carry it to the warehouseman who, as soon as it is brought to bis door, takes charge of it, weighs, samples and stores it, and sells it to the buyer. And in nine cases in ten the ware- houseman sells for more than could be received by the farmer because he knows more about ding and has many other And the cost of all this to I the farmer is only cents per bale. Quite an improvement on our style selling, you will be compelled to say. In addition to cotton the farmers here make corn, wheat, rye, peas, potatoes, and the other crops made in North Carolina, and make sugar cane, which is not grown at home. Almost every farmer has his cane patch and makes enough syrup t . serve his own family and spare a little. This is entirely different cane from that grown in North Carolina, having no seed, the far- planting the stalk, which at each joint. They are I now busy saving I which is dug up and buried in the until next spring, when it will he taken out and planted. This cane is a much better paying crop than cotton, but it is to convince the farmers of i that fact. While acknowledging that more money per acre can be made from cane, they say that cotton brings money whenever carried to market without much j trouble, while if cane was more extensively planted it would take considerable time to dispose of the syrup made. The season for cane grinding is always a gala time and will soon be here, some few farm- having already begun. I have several invitations to attend these festive occasions, and will do so if i possible. In that event I may tell I your readers what I see there. And everybody here chews cane. Little and big, old and young, rich and poor, white and black, love and can be seen at all times with a stalk of cane in hand chewing away on it. I was very much tins when I first came here, but have become accustomed to it now. When Bret offered a chew of cane I could hardly force it down, but it is an article that proves very much on acquaint am. e, and I can now chew up with the , genuine In fertility I think the lands in Pitt county and Eastern Carolina are far ahead of any I have seen j in Georgia, but the tanners hero much more fertilizers and work ; harder than do ours. Everything ; here is manured heavily and the I farmers work twelve months in , year. Were you people to do same thing is no telling what kind of crops could be made in the old The j land here, in appearance, is very much like that of the Piedmont section of North Carolina, and will, I believe, produce a article of tobacco. But no farmer here has ever tried to cultivate to- nor will they do so for time to come. Another vast to Eastern Carolina and this section is found in the bottom lands. There the swamps are the most fertile and produce immense crops year after year without ma while here they are perfect- worthless. The country here is too flat to be ditched, and were it possible to drain the swamp lands they are so poor that nothing could be made of them. The farmers here begin planting com in February and cotton in March, which makes the season just about a month ahead of North Carolina. The cotton crop is now all open, and more than three- fourths of it is gathered. A word or two about the people. As a class the people are more en- and work harder than they do in North Carolina, and they are more progressive in many ways. If our folks were to work as hard as these then the whole country would come out so much that it could cot be recognized. In hos- I can only say they will compare favorably with the people of Greenville and Pitt and when that is said I do not think higher praise can be offered. My reception here has been all Hint I could wish. I am glad to note the signs of prosperity in the Reflector and Greenville. May both improve rapidly. More anon. J. R.

We are glad to learn that Mr. Jacobson is editing the Progress, a fact that he also should have dis- covered sooner and not with other papers. And yet he acknowledges not being responsible for what the Progress had previously said, then denounces us for commenting up- on what it had said, even after we had declared that our remarks were not intended for Mr. Jacob- son, but intended for the whoever its editor might be, and in consequence of what it had hitherto contained.

Reflector would like see what rightfully belongs to to North Carolina rendered into her. unto Caesar the things which are would like to see the strength of the youth of the State put forward and push the State onward to the place she ought to hold.

This her just due for whatever they are North Carolina has made them and it would seem that their first thought their first effort, should be for her. Yes, this is so.

We heard nu- compliments paid him, and it was frequently remarked. that the Greenville Church was for- in having such an able minister. Immediately after this sermon Dr. announced that it was the desire of the Union to the church at Beth- el which had just been completed, hut that a debt of that re- upon it first be ed. After a brief statement upon the workings of this church since its organization last March with fourteen members, and of the forts put forth and the trials they had undergone to push the house to completion, he proceeded to ask for subscriptions. Everybody knows the result of matters of this kind that fall into the hands of Dr. and it was but a short while before more than was asked for had been secured and the house was duly dedicated to the use of Almighty God. The little flock at Bethel truly have done noble and excellent work. The building they have erected in such a short time is a beautiful one.

And the hearts of all were united with them in their rejoicings. Sunday night Rev. J. A. Leslie preached an excellent sermon which the congregation greatly enjoyed. The next Union will be held with the Church at Rocky Mount, beginning Friday before the fifth Sunday in January. And a word about Bethel and her citizens It was the expression of the visitors to the Union that the hospitality of the town could not have been passed. The citizens threw open their cordially all to come in and be at home. The people were so kind that many of us felt an inclination to wish that we were so constituted as to be able to accept ail their hospitalities at once.

The Crops in the State. The State department of culture has issued a report of the condition of the crops in the State at large based on reports of from all of the State. various crops stands as COTTON. Notwithstanding from unfavorable atmospheric con- in September, the returns show an increase in the yield in cotton of more four points since the 15th of last month. The average production in the State grades CORN. The same improvement is in the production of corn, though the increase is not great as in the last report. There is no doubt that the corn crop of the State is far in excess of crop grown in the last decade. The average for the State at large, as compiled from the October reports, shows to be u fair estimate. Nearly all the crop has been housed. TOBACCO. But little damage resulted from the early frost and the conditions for curing have been favorable in most localities. The new returns show increase, a matter hardly expected when the many mishaps which tended to injure the grow- are considered. The in- crease amounts to nearly four points, the present average being Due allowance must be made for the small acreage set. The production of the State at large will not be as great as last year but the yield per acre averages the figures indicated. From the best information we are able to gather the wheat crop for the next year is most From all parts of the State come reports telling of the extra care being bestowed in the ration of the land for the next crop. The indications also point to an increased acreage in many parts the State. OATS. The same may be said of the oat crop. ground is being prepared for the reception of the seed, and the returns indicate an increased acreage for next crop. The returns are not so flattering as to this crop. The average last reported was this has been re- to No reason is given for the failure of crop to hold former quotations. SORGHUM Special requests were made fur reports of this crop, and the re- turns are very gratifying, eve greater than anticipated. It would be hard to estimate the number of gallons of syrup that will be made this year, yet some idea may be gained when it is stated that some of the reports are that it is hardly possible that the crop can all be worked op. This applies to Piedmont and western portions of State. A careful estimate of ail returns shows that the crop will average in State, while some sections report it from to per cent in excess of normal production. BUCKWHEAT. For reasons not given the buck- wheat crop does not up well. There is but little raised in the State, and that in the far west to the greatest extent, yet it grows to the greatest perfection in all Piedmont and western North Car- The average in the State is POTATOES. The sweet and Irish potato crops are, after all, very good, the grade being for sweet potatoes and for Irish potatoes The pea crop seems to with- out precedent. On sides it is conceded to be very groat, many correspondents stating that like it has ever seen in the State. The acreage is very large. POINTS. The cabbage crop has not proved since last report ; though in some parts of the west the crop is considered good The yield of hay has been, on the whole, very fair, and the same applies to There is a disposition to more attention to forage crops another year.
