It made his heart throb with joy when he saw that the was going to have a train- school for teachers and the possibility of Pitt county should interest every citizen of the county While he was not of the class that education as a panacea for all our ills, yet he was ready to say an educated citizen makes the best citizen An father does not always an ed son, but an educated mother means educated children If we educate the girls of today who are to be the mothers of the next generation, it means the children of that generation will be educated. The value of a training school like that proposed to be established cannot be mated. Then addressing himself to the grand jurors Judge Neal re- red briefly to the importance of their office and the resting upon them. He referred to the too commission of witness stand, and the tam- -ring with jurors in the effort to ii them, evils which he said He paid a saying a man who would perform duties of his office fearlessly and conscientiously. After the close of the charge and the grand jury had retired. Judge Neal ordered the sheriff to permit no one to pass out the door. He then had the clerk to write down the names of enough good men in the to compose a jury and those were called up and as an extra jury for the work to avoid in getting when other jurors are needed. It was a wise step and shows that Judge Neal does not believe in the time of the court being wasted. The following cases have been disposed of Norman Hawkins, failing to list taxes, pleads guilty, upon payment of taxes. The same disposition was made of similar cases against Peter Hines. James Harris, colored, John Patrick and Marcellus all plead- guilty- George Taylor, assault with deadly weapon, pleads guilty. Will Edwards, guilty. Lam Whitehurst, W. H. and Thomas Chestnut plead guilty of carrying concealed Bud Dupree and Zeno assault with deadly weapon, guilty. U alter Jackson, assault with ; deadly weapon, guilty.

In a case of forcible trespass against same defendants judgment pended. David Daniels, larceny, J. S. Ross, assault with deadly weapon, pleads guilty, fined and cost Benjamin Peyton, larceny, guilty, sentenced months to roads. Brown Carr, larceny, guilty, sentenced months to roads.

Harding puts the whole in a nut shell and she does it so well that it must carry con- to all who read it. I beg to suggest that you publish it in your editions that circulate in the country and i scatter it broad cast among the voters- In my in work- for schools I have always found the women, in the fore- front of the battle, ready to do and to dare whatever needed insure success. They have an inspiration to the onward movement and much of the credit for the beautiful well kept school houses recently erected in Pitt is due to them. Now if we can only the young the old- enlisted in this movement to build up in Pitt a institution, its success is certain. I therefore appeal to the good women into th fight, at once, and to work for the location of this school in their county till the going down of tie sun on the 11th of May. The location of this in Pitt means great, things for the boys and girls who are to-be the men and women of the near future. If these good women will make up their minds to have it, it will surely come. will cost so little in money to get it that they will not be imposing any burdens upon the labor and property of the men. Wife, tell your husband who gives in of prop- for taxation his tax will cents a year and that you will pay that for him about Christ- with a dozen eggs. Tell the husband who gives in worth of property that his tax will be a year and that he can pay that with a half bar rel of corn, but that if he can't spare the corn you will raise five chickens for that purpose On the morning of the the children around the table and say to their father at these and when you go to the ballot box vote throw wider open the door of hope to them and make it possible for them to enter into the higher and better things of J.

April 20th Editor Kindly all me a little space in your paper to speak a word in favor of this bond issue, especially to the people of Swift Creek township. The last legislature fifteen thousand dollars to establish a training school to be in some eastern county. This is to come from the taxes. If there wire to no whatever and the county were to its to locate the school within its every one would vote to give permission. Why you would say, will help the We can educate our daughters at less expense and it will help to build up the The man who sells a good many cattle, will see a greater market his what school is which doesn't give the students beef The woman who sells eggs and chick- en--, can take them herself, to Greenville, where even now, is an easy market for all the sup- ply. The fruit man can do like- wise. Any enterprise, which will cause people to congregate in one place is a call to each of these, for people must be fed and the the town- must feed them. The town can supply them with dresses, hats shoes, etc. but the country those who raise cattle, hogs, fruit, chickens, etc., must sell them three meals a day. An en- that brings more to the county must, of course be a benefit. Now, if the school would help us, if we had no tax to to get it the benefit will be the same with the tax. In this, case, however, you would he small tax to the same benefit. You have to decide whether this benefit will be live cents worth each You may say you have no chick- ens or cattle to sell and no to send to school If you haven't any, in ten years your children may be running raising cattle and send- their children to this school, which helped to establish by to give twenty-five cents on every thousand you had, for its The school once here will be carrying on its when your grandchildren are the voters will be looking to them for meat butter and eggs, for carpenters, plumbers, teachers, seamstresses.

SPEAKING ON TRAINING SCHOOL. Strong Argument in its Favor. It had been ed that a speaking on the mat- of the Eastern training would take place in the court house at noon M Jude Neal not arriving until the noon train there was no court during the morning, and it was decided that it would be better for the speaking to take court. T ringing of the bell a little past o'clock assembled a good sized crowd in the court room which was first addressed by Senator J, L. Fleming. He pointed out how in past years Eastern North Carolina had been practically ignored by the in locating State ions, while this section was taxed year after year to enrich the Piedmont section. He also that of our in the East, and because of our having as much right to help from the State treasury as any other section, had name the movement to establish the East era training school. Senator Fleming then went into the dis- of the bond issue to year from now you may change your mind, but the chance will be gone. It will be in some other county. Your vote will say one of two things-, it will say whether you will pay twenty five cents on every thousand you have or whether you wont pay a quarter of a dollar to insure to your children and grand-children the advantages of having a good school in the county. They may want the school, but tiny wont have any vale in the matter. You are to say whether school, with all the good it locate miles of shall come or the go CO m other county. Some of you arc not able top y twenty five cents on every If that is true, then you wouldn't have to secure the and plainly showed the duty of the people of the county to vote for it- His speech was strong and forceful Ex-Governor also one of his practical speeches on the question rig the great ad vantage the school will be to Pitt county how little it will cost the people of the county to get it. His argument was so plain it looks like every one who heard him could see that it is his duty to vote for the school. In closing hi.-- appeal G . it so happened he was- shot down on the battle- field on the day of May. That was the last fight in which he engaged for the lie was again looking to the 14th day of May on which the bonds election would be held, and he this would be the last fight of his life in behalf of t. cation for the children of Pi county and North Carolina, and he did hope that the result w mid be a great majority in favor of the bonds for the school.

Some people have the idea that the teachers training school lo- in Greenville will be of benefit to the town only, and not to the county. On the contrary the school would be ten fold more benefit to the county than to the own. Look into it and see where the public school teachers in the town or in the country schools- There are ten times as many teachers in the country as in the town, therefore the country be the greatest beneficiary of the training school for teachers. Every man who has a child to educate, or to see his county progressive, should vote for bonds to secure the school. If every tobacco grower in the county could have been present Thursday seen the of pleasure on the faces of the stockholders of the Consolidated Tobacco Company, as their dividend checks were handed out, it strikes us that it would have made every one of them wish he was a member of the company. In four years that this company has been in opera- its dividends have per cent. It strikes us as being a fine business of which lack only per cent, of paying for itself in four years. The man wants the earth who would wish for anything better- The only wonder about it is that every tobacco farmer does not try to get in the company and sell his crop through it. who stand aloof from it prejudice are cutting if the of a good profit business. tee, and the committee will Le called together this summer to choose his successor. Finding somebody to fill the place as well as Mr. Simmons has done will not be the easiest thing the party has had in hand Why will not some people use as much judgment regarding voting for bonds as they do in a business enterprise If a man could invest one dollar and get i n rs in return therefor, he would jump at To establish the Eastern training school in- Pitt county will bring the county more than ten fold what it costs the tax payers. Yet we hear of some people who are opposed to the bonds to get the school. We think the Raleigh minister who wants the penitentiary guard hanged for shooting and escaping convict, wrong opinion. Of course killing the convict is a matter of regret, but criminals are sent to for punishment and it is the duty of of guards placed over them to keep them in confinement. It is useless to place g lards over unless force can be used in keeping them when necessary- The prisoner who in defiance flees before a guard with a gun is risking h.--. lift in the Imps of escape, and if nothing but shoot- will stop the guard who does I rot be held necessary tor the company to be managed by aboard of directors yet the directors were selected by the stockholders and unless they took an interest in its they could not act in the selection of men He showed that this company was managed on the same principle precisely as the gov- of the State and nation, that the officers were merely the servants of tho stockholders and that the who managed the affairs of the company and elected its officers were them- selves elected and received their power from the stockholders. The whole proceedings were characterized by a spirit of per- harmony that is rarely wit- in so large a number of people. We seriously doubt if any equal number of well drilled and experienced business men would have transacted their business in a more perfect spirit of unity than was shown by these tobacco farmers who own and constitute The Consolidated Tobacco Co We rejoice with the tobacco farmers in the success they are making in their efforts at If their present policy is continued and the spirit of co-operation and harmony as we witnessed it at their annual meeting, we make the prediction that before many years, and it will not be many either, the tobacco farm- of eastern North will have built for themselves the most perfect business ma chine for taking care of their product ever by any farmers on the globe. IN Travelers Get the by Class. The stranger perhaps more get a single of the true and ancient Spain than by ac- quiring the habit of traveling third The seats indeed are hard, but the company is usually excel- lent, charming in its manners and not offensive to any sense. Here a constant series of novel pictures is presented to the traveler, who may quietly study them at leisure. Per- haps it is a dozen merry girls on their way to a festival, packed tight- together and laden with . Some of the more sedate them near mantillas, some bright handkerchiefs on their heads or go with hair uncovered; but, however they are dressed, to whatever class they belong, they are all clean and sweet. Or perhaps it is a less crowded carriage one enters. There are two middle class Spaniards and a peas- ant group of fat, jolly mid- aged man in a peasant's cos- but clean and new, almost stylish; a woman of like age, one of those free, robust, kindly women whom Spain produces so often, and a bareheaded girl, evidently her daughter, though the man seems a friend or relative who is escorting them on their journey. By and by, when we have been some hours on our journey, he lifts from the seat in front of him the large, heavy em- which Sancho Panza was always so anxious to keep well it and draws out one of the great, flat, deli- Spanish loaves and throws it on the woman's lap. Then a dish of stewed meat appears, and the bread is cut into slices, which serve as plates for the meat. But before the meal is begun the peasant turns round with a hearty It is the invitation to share in the feast, which every polite Spaniard must make even to strangers who happen to be present, and it is as a matter of course politely refused, Before long the black leather wine bottle is produced from the wallet, and the meal proceeds. At its final stage some kind of sweet- meat appears, and small fragment are offered to the two middle class Spaniards then, with a slight half movement, expressing a fine restrained by the fear of offering any offensive attention, to the foreign also.

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 region, requires and takes sweetening than tobacco any other section of the United f and has a wholesome, stimuli juicy, taste that tobacco hunger. why prefer Schnapps, because cheers more than any other tobacco, and that's why chewer Schnapps pass the good thing one chewer makes other until the fact is established there are more chewers and pounds of tobacco chewed population in states where tobacco is than there an those states where.

No Bond. be Sold the Training School it Located in Pitt Some people have formed very erroneous ideas about th bond election to be held May 14th for the of securing the lo- cation of the Eastern trailing school in Pitt county. One of these ideas that we have several , n. i . j . disturbances may have cut times heard expressed is that ii the resources of the great spend- should be earned who have left untold i tn coffers of the hotel men the army of subordinates have fattened on tho by the Am. r Many noted in the Lon- don metropolis will be mi sod, for a lack of spending n which took is i in Wall street. Favor of bonds and the school lie located elsewhere than in Pitt county, the county commission- won't sell the bonds any way and proceed money for other purposesIn order to set the public right on this question and let those holding such an idea see the error of it, the following letter was addressed to Chairman R. W. King and through to the board of commissioners, ask- a statement from them in regard to the matter. The an- from these gentlemen shows that the money will be used for no other purpose but the school, and if the school is not located in Pitt county not a dollar of the bonds will be sold used for any other purpose.

Then a rural must be established and patron- But why, the country patron says, is it so much better me to send my child to the graded school anyway Simply because there you find a class system which continues from year to there is a definite outline of study, a clearly ranged plan of action, and a of method which noticeably lacking Id many of I the rural schools.
