Man Long Dead Turns Up.
About years ago a colored
man named Burney left
the Swift Creek section of this
county and went to Florida.
John owned a piece of land on
which there was a debt, and
after he was gone his creditors
took over the land and what per-
effects he left behind.
Time went on and nothing being
heard from John he was sup-
posed to be dead, and a year or
two ago his children started a
suit to recover possession of the
land.
The matter took on a new
phase last week when John
turned up alive and well. Learn-
had been done by his
children to recover the land he
decided to take the matter in
his own hands- He came to
Greenville Monday to consult the
lawyers who had charge of the
suit and had his own name en-
as suitor in place of his
children.

Three ways arc used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-
for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and flue cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and
proved way is called flue cured.
In flue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to a continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat of flame heated flues, which
brings out in the tobacco that
stimulating taste and aroma that
expert roasting develops in green
coffee. These similar processes give
to both tobacco and coffee the cheer-
and stimulating quality that pop-
their use.
The quality of tobacco depends
much on the curing process and the
kind of soil that produces it, as ex-
pert tests prove that this flue cured
tobacco, grown in the famous Pied-
region, requires and takes less
sweetening than tobacco grown in
any of the United States-
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
juicy, full tobacco taste that satisfies
tobacco hunger. That's why chewers
prefer Schnapps, because Schnapps
cheers more than any other chewing
tobacco, and that's why chewers of
Schnapps pass the good thing along J
one chewer makes other chewers,
until the fact is established that
there are more chewers and more
pounds of tobacco chewed to the
population in states where Schnapps
tobacco is sold than there are in
those states where Schnapps has not
yet been offered to the trade.
A plug of Schnapps is more
economical than a much larger
plug of cheap tobacco. Sold at
per pound in cuts. Strictly
and cent plugs.

T. J. Jarvis,
Greenville, began the argument
before the committee He thank-
ed them for patiently hearing
him on this question a week ago
and was glad have
of appearing before
again. It no new thing for
to be at work in behalf of
education, as he was at it

He is ready to work

Ho stood here now to urge the
establishment in Eastern North
Carolina of a training school for
teachers, and whether it was
done or not, he could say that
every man in the Eastern part of
the state would be loyal to the
normal at Greensboro He was
a school teacher and quit
teaching to go in the army and
thought he had made a good
swap. In Eastern North Caro-
we need a school to train
teachers to better equip them fr
teaching our common schools.
He thought every man in the
State should be patriotic enough
to wish to develop the whole
State and called on those from
the West to come our
rescue in establishing this
in the East. He told of
the of getting teachers
for the schools of n North
Carolina even though we pay
them good salaries.
he was in public life he
knew no East or West in State
lines, but felt an interest in the
whole commonwealth, yet he
recalled that every institution he
helped to locate was in Raleigh
or west of Raleigh. The East
is entitled to recognition and he
hoped this legislature would be-
gin it by establishing this
school. The East needs
oping and he hoped the commit-
tee would give a favorable re-
port on this bill so the good
work could taken up in this
section.
Rev. Dr. J. M. Grier. of
Washington, next spoke. He
said when a minister spoke he
was expected to appeal to the
consciences of people, but he

Ptomaine poisoning is the
of sad affliction hanging pall-like
over the household of Mr War-
Jackson, of this city. Three
have already died from the
which at first, was thought
to be something else, and the
remaining four members of the
family are most likely to die.
Jack con moved to High
Point with his family only a few
weeks ago and they brought
with them a quantity of pork
of their own raising and
curing, which had been peeked
down in their home.
All deaths have now been
traceable directly to ptomaine
poisoning as the result of eating
death marked meat. Only
last Sunday a child d ed and yes-
the mother and wife was
given to earth. The remain-
four members of the family,
father and three children, are
confined to their and sup-
hopelessly ill with the
same manner of poisoning. The
case is one of the saddest on
record and excites all the pity
and feeling in one's nature.
