that place. They have put their
shoulders to the wheel, and with their
money are determined to make a to-

leading spirits have seen to it that a

Each with a rose in her hand,
And glints of gold 1m their tresses
Of a far-off sun-kissed land.

ThoT fondly I call each name,
Fade where the misted meadows
- Border on seas of flame ;

Calling me fondly by name,

~That seems forever the same.
Sometimes in the care-warm fiices
I seé on the busy street,
I see alook of the children"
A gleam of their smiling sweet.
I long to say as they pass me,
Dear hearts let us not forget
The love and trust of our child-time
Will keep us like children yet.
Pray God when my eve-time cometh
The gray ot lifeTs afterglow,
The beautiful fair-haired children
From meadows of long ago
May gather blithely about me,
A star-eyed and laughing throng,
Voicing the hush of my eve-time
With taint, sweet echoes of song.

_ Afew years ago the writer saw a
genuine curiosity which had beex made
by a little blind blind boy in Chicazo.

in her declaration was expressed a hope
of accommodation with the King, it
cannot be considered final assumption
of sovereignty.
oThe first Colony really to assume
independence was North Carolina, 12th
of April, 1776. Her rejection of Brit-
ish authority was unconditional. She
therefore, is the oldest State. Vir-
ginia came next, going to the first
place in the column because she based
her claim for independence upon the
inalienable rights of man and formula-
ted the principles upon which the war
was fought to a glorious finish.�
He might have added that the
declaration of April 12th, 1766, was
made by delegates from different sec-
tions of the State in convention as-
sembled at Halifax, N. C., who appoint-
ed cCelegates at the same time to
Colonial Congress. While the Meck-
lenburg declaratiton ai.tedated that of
April 12th, T76, it was local as to its
representation and cannot be accredited
to the Colony at large.

Not Up to the Old LadyTs Standard.
Vice Presiaent Stevenson tells this
story on himself:
He was on a trip to Alaska last sum-
mer when a reception was given him in|
one of the cities of the Northwest. He
had shaken hands with several hundred
people when a little old lady came along.
She looked at. the Vice-President with
a critical and plainly disapproving air.

Kan., got to working together re-.

Mr. Green got intoxicated, boisterous
and disagreeable during a visit to the
neighboring town of Pittsburg, and
created considerable disturbance on tre
streets. He was nut arrested. A few
days later he appeared before the county | |
attorney at Pittsburg and swore out a
warrant against himself for disturbing
the peace. He was arrested, arraigned,
pleaded guilty, paid his fine and went

oShall I wet it for you?� asked the
cigar store man who had just sold a
briar-wood pipe.
oYes,� said the customer, handing
the pipe over, obut, say, thatTs a new
one on me. WhatTs the idea of wetting
it?� Z
The cigar store man by this time had
the pipe under the water faucet and was
driving water through it at a great
rate. .
oI learned that from a pipe manufac-
turer. This first wetting, makes a briar
pipe last twice as long as it would other-
wise. The reason is that the wood is
very dry. his pipe here has been in
the store six months"maybe a year. It
was very dry when we we got it, and of
course itTs drier now. Well, it stands
to reason that when fire is applied to
the wood the pipe will char quickly and
once it begins it burns through in a short
time. Nowa good soaking like ITm
giving this pipe dampens the wood.
The wood absorbs a great deal of water
and it wonTt burn so easily. After four
pipefuls of tovacco have been smoked
there is very little danger of the pipe
burning except the moment it is being

SETTING OUT PLANTS BY
| MACHINERY,
The Fuller & Johnson Bemis Trans-
planter"Perfection of Its Work.
, aaa
Winston Southern Tobacco J ournal.
The tobacco grower who pro-
fegsés to be enamored of the
tedious, tiresome, back-breaking
is &@ man whose veracity is not
work of tobacco culture, where
the old method oftransplanting is
adhered to, always awakens some:
thing akin to fear and trembling
as the time for it approaches.
~lo the arduous labor, which is
lamentations there is the nnéér-
tainty of a season when the plants
are ready, and altogether itis a
worrisome business, and hearty
thanksgiving is offered up when
it is over and done with.
Blessed isthe man who invent-
ed thé transplanter! The valne
of the machine is not yet fully
appreciated, but itis beginning
tobe so. Moreand more ofthem
are coming into use every dav,
and the day 1s not far distant
when this great labor saving de-
vice will be looked upon as of no
less importance tothe tobacco
raiser thas his curing barn. In
some sections it is already so re-
garded and it is pushing its way
into popular favor in the South.
The advantage of usiog the
famous Fulier & Johnson Bemis
Transplantat, which we illustrate
ob this page, are manifold, and
will be readily seen when the
work it does is understood. The
accomplished with groans and:
straight and starting sooner, cul- -
tivation may begin earlier avd| Wa
weeds are killed, and this is eqval
worms are in some degree warded
off by immediate and. frequent
cultivation. The giower is inde-
pendent of labor and escapes a
task of setting out-plants by hand jlame back. Asa whole, it does
the work better than when done
by hand; it makes its own seasons;
it insures better tobacco and more
of it; the work of cultivating and
of harvesting is less, and it is by
far the cheapest in every way.
The farmer who gets the great-
est returns from his crops is he
who is progressive, and adopts
agricultural. machinery that have
proved successful time, labor and
money savers. Sach in an emin-
eot degree is the Bemis Trans-
planter manufactured by the Ful:
ler & Johnson Manufacturing
Compary, of Madison, Wis. The
Journal has abundant reasons for
belieying that it is all that is
claimed for it, and we fully re-~
commend itto our growers. In
additiou to use in setting out to-
bacco, it will also transplant to-
matoes, cabbage, etc. The price
of the machine is reasonable and
itis strongly constructed. With
proper care it will last a lifetime.
It will pay for itself in @ year, and
often several times in One year.
We append a few testimonials of
Southern farmers who have used
the Bemis Transplanter:
The Bemis Tobacco Transplanter
is @ perfect success. It sets out:
the plants more reguiarly, leaves
the ground in better condition to
~wachive is drawn by a pair of
horses, anu requires to operate
it. besides the driver, two boys
small furrow in which water in
exactly the right quautitv is pour-
ed automatically, and the plants
are set in water so that the roots
are thoroughly wetted. The far-
row is then closed and the earth
packed nicely around tke plants
by the packing plates, the rows
thus left in a gentle ridge. The
packing of the earth is regulated,
aud may be done hard or soft as
desired. The machine adapts it-
self to the unevenness of the sur-
face ofthe land, enabling the
Operator, just as he pleases, to
set the plants deep or shallow.
The plants may be set when ready,
no matter how dry the ground
may be. The fertilizer attach
ment, which is peculiar to the
Fuller & Johnson Bemis ~Trans
planter and not to be had else-
where, distributes the fertilizer
in the row and puis in just as
eae or as little as may be want

By the use of this transplanter
these results are obtained super-
ior to those that follow hand sett-

and grow and mature more evenly
and quicker. A crust is not form-

that is, the machine makes a}

bacco grower knows.
L. F. Evans, Greenville, N. C.
Yours at hand and noted. I
haye been setting my tobacco
plants with a machine for two
years, and at the same time have
been experimenting with bhand-
set plants. I greatly prefer to
have my crop set by machinery
under any circumstances. A part
from the economy, better work
can be done than it is possible to
do with the hand. 1 find that the
plant thrives better, it grows off|
quicker, evenly, and ripens more
~uniformly. Of the many ma-
chines you have sold in this sec-
tion this season, I hear but one
verdict"Tvansplanter a verfect

F. M. Rocers, Jr.,
Florence, S. C.
I consider the Bemis Tobacco
Transplenter a great success, and
am satisfied had I used it to set
my crop of 20 acres last season it
would save more than the cost of
the machine. I think ninety-nine
per cent of plants set with it will
live and grow off so quickly that
it will be ready for cutting trom
six to ten days sooner than that
set by hand.

*. Dear Str:"I am pleased to say that the Vic-
tor Safe you sold me some five or six years ago
preserved in tact all its contents in the late fire
in Greenville on the 16th inst. The safe stood
ata point in my office in the Opera House
block that must have been one of the hottest
parts in the great conflagration. It contained
many papers and other things of value. When
it was takon out of the ruins and opened, some
twelve hours after the fire, everything ip it was
found to be sately preserved and in good con-
dition I cheerfully make this statement of
facts in recognition of the valuable service ren-
dered me by this safe and you are at liberty to
make such use of it as you may see proper.

Epiron Daity Keriactor :"I note
your article in Tue Dairy RerLec-
tor of Wednesday and, would like to
offer a suggestion. Why not ask that
the Wasington train be allowed to run
through to Kinston in the morning and
return in the evening? This would
give people desiring to go south a
chance to do so and not have to stay
over all night as they'do now. It
would also allow people from Washing-
ton to go to Kinston and other points
on this line and return same day. It
would also give us a direct connection
with Newbern and a much quicker con-
nection with Goldsboro,: besides numer-
ous other advantages it would. offer.
I think if the people of Greenville and
Kinston would ask for vhis they would
get it. I also think it would give an
advantage ot at least two or three hours
in going to Raleigh. ie
This is a~ good suggestion and one
we would like to see adopted. ~T'wo
trains a day each way over this road
would be a great convenience. When
the Washington branch was first built
the ReFLector suggested that the
train from that town in the morning
could be run on from Parmele to Kin-
ston and return in the afternoon, instead
of going to Tarboro to lay over there all
day.
However, we doubt if the people of
Greenville get any better train service
at all unless they ask for it. As yet
our business men seem to be manifes-
ting no interest in the matter.
