LOCAL NOTES AND TOBACCO JOTTINGS lec ieeeerne BY O. L. JOYNER. Fully half the crop has already | been cured, if not two-thirds, and from best reports the cures have been fairly good. Mr.G. P. Fleming, of Clarks-— ville, Va., came in Wednesday night and will locate on this mar- ket. He is a yery extensive buy- er we are told. Winston’s decrease in the sales of leaf tobacco this year accord- ing to the President of the Win- ston Tobacco Association is 1,- 348,108 pounds. Pitt, one of the new tobacco | producing counties of Eastern Norti Carolina, is importing to baccu curers from the old bright belt at a rapid rate. More than a hundred have been eiployed, at' an average puy of $40 per month. —Danville Zobacce Journal. The Commonwealth of Pennsyl- vania has brought suit against the American Tobacco Company to recover license fees for doing business in that State. for the year commencing July Ist, 1895. The defense claims that if the legislature of Penusylvania has passed any laws subjecting them to a fee for license tbat it is un- constitutional in that it conflicts the Iuter-State Commerce with Law. There were many pleased farm- ers on the breaks to-day. 13 a result of selling tobacco on tue Greenyille market. | yoing That Confede1ate Reunion. | The officers of Bryan Grimes Camp of Pitt county Confederate Veterans have hauded the RE- ‘FLECTOR the following names which compose the dinner com-— \mittee for the reunion and picnic ‘tu be held in the College grove, near Greenville, on September oth.

Webb and the other a son of Mr. Tom Hodges, in Bel- voir township, were out with a gun Wednesday afternoon. Young Webb had the gun, and while trying to shoot a bird accidental ly discharged it, the load striking the Hodges boy in the thigh mak ing a bad flesh wound.

Please allow me to write to you and tell you of a farm I was. walk- ing oyer the other day. When the farmer asked me to just look at his watermelons we hauled the largest to the house and weighed it and it tipped the bal- ances at two anda half pounds. Then he wanted me ‘to see in his garden. He gaveme his largest cabbage for dinner, which meas- ured nearly two inches across, They were the Late Drumhead. and he says are the finest he has ever raised, and he ,had raised them for twenty years. He is a good Democrat and an excellent farmer,but don’t judge his neigh- bors by what I have told you of him. I also have a neighbor who has worn out several rabbit boxes catching tobacco worms. L.

Man and maiden, their courtship happily ended, simply join hands over a _ running stream, emblematic of : the wish that their future lives a eee Se ee oe it ey ee ae Ee a § shall fiow on in the same channel, and the thing is done. Among our other Indian tribes the mar-— riage cermony is equally simply and effective. ee There is every indication that the next election in New York State will wipe out last years 150,000 Republican majority and substitute in its place a substan- tial Democratic vistory. The present contest between the Re- publicans and the Democrats in New York cannot fail to result advantageously to the Democrats. “A great change has come over the Democrats since last fall” says the New York Times, “when the outlook was gloomy and the prospects for this year were dis- comraging. Where six months ago there was left nothing but the divided, defeated and dia- couraged party there is now a substantially united and hopefal body, seeking to . perfect its or- ganization and making a strong effort to win victory that shall be deserved.” ree Hot Weather Don'ts. Don't worry about the weather. Don't walk on the sunny side . of the street. Don’t work unless you have to, 4 and then work slowly. Don't fail to carry an umbrella if you are exposed long to the pun’s rays. Don’t drink anything to excess. Ice water is about as bad as any-— thing else. Don’t use a fan. The exercise 3 ofworking it will overcome all Don't think it is the hottest ‘day you ever experienced, and if you do think it, don’t say it. Don’t be afraid of perspiration. It is a good sigs, and it reduces the temperature of the body. If you follow out the majority of these don’ts you will feel that you followed the injunction to keep cool. Don’t feel it a duty to look at the thermometer, every ten or fif- teen minutes during the middle of the day. Don’t make a meal largely com- posed of meats. Vegetables come at this season of the year es— pecially forthe benefit of man. —— EE He Knew Enough. The esteem in which the agail- or’s calling is held in Massachu- setts coast towns is indicated by a true story that comes from Gay Head, a primitive community on the island of Martha’s Vineyard. A teacher was wanted at the village, aud a sailor, with indian biood in his veins, applied to the town committee for tha position. He nad to pass an examination by the committee, and trembled at the ordeal, being sadly un- learned in book-lore. The chairman began the exam- ination : “Mr.——.», what is the the earth *” “It is round, sir,” the candi-— date answered. “How do you know ?” “Because I have sailed around it three times-” “That will do, sir!" He received the “certificate” as a teacher without another ques- tion being asked. “If you die, I will sleep by your grave all the rest of my life.” This remarkable vow was e fifteen years ago to his sick wife by Edwin L. Morrison, at that time chief clerk of the Pennsylva- nia freight department at Miami- ville, Ohio. He built a rude hut at the side of his wife’s graye in the cemetery. Now Edwin L. Morrison, once the handsome rail- road man, is old, wriukied and shape of Educational : nee ee ° e Greenville Collegiate Institute. REENVILLE, N.C. 8. D. Bagley, A. M. Principal.

They Wear Gray or or Brown Dresses and Quiz the Policemen. ‘*Was there ever a bride that.didn’t insist upon having in her trousseau @ gray or brown traveling dress?” asks the New York Press. - If you want to answer this ques- tion to your own satisfactlon walk across the Brooklyn bridge any day, especially in midsummer, and you will see brides by the'score. You can tell them at once by their gray or brown dresses and their leis- ure. They stroll along with their husbands and look at the river, mar- vel at the statue of liberty and-won- der whether Governor's island could resist an invader, all with a delight- ful freshness that is restful to the sight of a nervous metropoiitan resi- dent. The policemen on the bridge be- come wonderfully softened in-sam- mer, for they have many colloquies with timid, blushing brides, who be- lieve the police know everything and And the policemen like the job of telling all about the points of interest to be seen from the bridge, and almost wish that ‘‘he”’ and his bride had nothing to do save to be astonished on the Brooklyn bridge and store up memories to be turned loose on the community at Wayback or Spring City. One way that brides can be dis- tinguished from ordinary people is by their far-away look. They do not seem to see the people near by. They seem not to care what interest they themselves excite. They are simply ridiculously happy and New York is only agigantic pleasure ground to therm. The bridegroom? Oh, yes; he is there, of course, but. he is only an attendant of the bride and he doesn’t count for much on the Brooklyn bridge. | Glass Biicks. Hollow bricks of glass are being used in the construction of the walls of winter gardens and plant houses. They are so set that the hollows are Gilied with rarefied air, which is a non-conductor of heat. The bricks are laid in a cement that unites the entire mass firmly. It is thought to be possible to use bricks without j; any support, and experiments are’ being made on roofing with this glass, which, put-ep in arch shape, it is hoped, be sufficiently strong to answer all purposes with- out the wood or iron frames ordinari- }| ly used in such buildings. Houses | of this material are said to be heated at much less cost than those ‘made The light tra windows are not necessary. The | systenr is thought to combine great }, strength and economy, and if.it isa suceess will almost rewol@sionize the iattidieg of pia’ houses, . 3 ‘banks along the: ‘ehores,” COINING: oMALLA BROER? Uncle Sam_ Derives a Large Profit from the Occupation. One of the most profitable occupa- tions of the United States govern: ment is found in the coinage of five- erent nickel. pieces and one-cent bronze pieces. bronze disks from which the cents bre stamped is about twenty cents per pound, and a pound of them pro- duces one dollar and forty-six cents. Nickel ready for coinage costs thirty- two cents per pound and a pound produces four dollars and forty-three cents in five-cent pieces. The average profit of seigniorage on the coinage of these minor coins for the | past few years has been about six hundred and fifty thousand dollars. There is a profit, and a consider- able one, in the coinage of subsidiary Silver coin, but owing to the fact that the United States owns several mflion ounces of bullion which was purchased at the prevailing high rate of 1890, the profit in that speciés: of coinage is not as great as it would be if the government should go into the open market to-day and buy silver at its market value for this purpose. There is a big demand at the treasury department for bright new coins of all denominations. Almost every request that is received from banks in various sections of the country for subsidiary coins. ask that bright new ones be sent.. Every month the street car companies and banks of the capital city turn into the treasury large quantities of | nickels, dimes and quarters, for which they receive in turn paper money of large denominations... Of course the money thus redeemed is} not ‘‘new” and there is ro demand for it. The result is that there are large quantities of such subsidiary coin in the vaults of the treasury, and it is impossible to get it oho circulation. Exchange. retics of NMastodons on Puget Sound. Another relic of the prehistoric elephant, of which Whidby island seems to have been a favorite feed- ing ground in past geologic ages, was found by E. O. Lovejoy on the north side of Penn’s eave the other. morning. While walking along the beach near the Vroman place he no- ticed protruding from the bank what appeared to’ be a large bone.
