Col. Harry Skinner deserves the
thanks of every Pitt man.
for the bold and gallant fight he
made in the convention, for her
favorite son, E. A. Move, and for
Pitt county.
He certainly has drawn closer
to him the popular heart of Pitt
county. We have seen Col. Skin-
in many positions and he
ways proved equal to the occasion
but under the circumstances, on
this occasion he even surpassed
himself. He went into a
that was hostile to lawyers
and at first not disposed to be gov-
by the advice of any lawyer
but before its session had closed,
he was the hero of the day. and
stood next in the estimation of the
convention and auditors to that of
Hon. E. A. whose claims he
was championing. The advantage
that Col. Skinner had in the con-
was that amidst the hot-
test lire hf remained
cool and never got excited for one
moment, in other words he
died himself well, no one could
have clone better.

It is interesting.
Pitt county politics have
commanded deep interest, not only
at home, but abroad. It is related
that when the late Col. K.
was consul general to
Paris, he was asked by the
or why it was that Pitt
county always gave a big Whig
majority, and Edgecombe county
which adjoins it, always gave such
a large Democratic majority. The
Emperor said that he could not
understand how it was that people
living side by
and engaged in the same
be so far apart in
their politics.
Col. was much

so well the situation in
North Carolina, and in these two
Eastern counties. It showed his
mastery of details and his
information.

It has been sent out by some
that the relative strength of Pitt

B. Branch for the congressional
nomination as expressed in the
county convention, stood for
to for Branch. Such a
rumor is fallacious and misleading
as the relative strength of the two
in Pitt county is by no means rep-
resented in these figures. That
the county is almost unanimous
for E. A. goes without say-
and the effort to par our dis-
an empty com-

the vote that followed was no fair
test of how the county stood. A
large majority of the delegates
went into the convention opposed
to instruction of any kind, and
when the vote on the amendment
was taken, and such a wrangle fol-
lowed, many who voted for Branch
did so because they wanted to
vote down both the amendment
and the resolution and leave the

Washington Letter.
The death of Annie Wilson
daughter of Mr and Mrs. L. C.
Terrell, which occurred in Tarboro
last Sunday morning, brought sad-
to all our people who knew her,
and awakened much profound
for parents. She was born
March 10.1878, and died June
1890; hence was in her thirteenth
year. Though so young, many
and graces were greatly
oped in her. She had beauty of per-
son, a bright, active mind, an
obedient, trusting nature.
These things with winsome manners
made, all her acquaintances net
friends, and made her parents fee
their less more intensely. Mar
From Our Correspondent.
Washington, D.
After the long dispute between
the Senate, regarding
the final disposition of the pension
problem, end has been reached.
Innumerable bills on subject
introduced in both
es.
Thu original measure of the Sen-
ate, was a pension
the same character as that vetoed
by Cleveland.
The House insisted in-
of a service by
granting a pension of mouth
to every soldier of years of age
and hereafter he got that old.
This Senate was hostile to this
idea and forced the House to drop
it; but in it bas been
ed to make a greater concession.
A conference committee of both
Houses hare made an
bill which has already ratified
by the and will
ably be law on that subject,
which, briefly stated is as
All soldiers who have served as long
as three months, honorably dis-
charged, and who are now, or may
hereafter, be suffering from any
or physical disability of a
permanent character, not result
of their own vicious habits, which
incapacitates them from the per-
of labor, so as to
render them to earn a sup-
port are to receive pensions from

created for the special and sole I

pounds of oats contain about nine ;
and a one half pounds of
forty-four pounds of by-
drakes, and four pounds of fat.
Compared with corn, oats are from
to per cent richer in i

If we were to burn one hundred

Beware
Fig Culture in North Carolina.
There is no good reason why,
a large part of North Carolina, the
cultivation of the fig and its drying
should not be a profitable pursuit.
Our people ought, at least, to grow
for home use all the best varieties.
Few persons have any notion of
the great variety of figs there arc
in cultivation. most people
a fig is simply a rig-, and the idea
that there are many kinds and
qualities of figs and that some
sorts are hardier than others never
enters their heads. With a view
to make our people better acquaint
ed with the fig the N. C.
Experiment Station has pro-
cured cuttings of the best varieties
of figs cultivation in all parts of
the world. There are thirty-seven
varieties all. These are being
grown at the Station for the
purpose of testing their hard-
and quality and for growing
cuttings to be distributed in all
parts of the State. It is the
pose the Horticultural division
of the Station to make it of value
to the farmers fruit-growers
by testing and distributing new
plants of special value to the grow-
of the State. Full directions
for culture will be given in bull-
hereafter free to all who

intention of securing s picture the

killed in the late war Henry E Wyatt
of Guards, killed at the
battle of Bethel. After considerable
correspondence he has an
photograph of Mr. Wyatt
which has been enlarged to cabinet
size by Mr. C. P. of
the best artist in the South, and the
librarian desires to sell enough of
these at cents each, to enable
to have an oil painting made for the
State. A brief history of this gallant
North Carolina soldier will be printed

earnestly hope the librarian may be
as successful in disposing of the
