TOBACCO JOTTINGS.
seeete ten
oI
BY 0. L. JOYNER.
There are men, a few and very few
of them in Greenville to-day, that are
still mouthing and quarreling mostly
with themselves because there is a to-
bacco market here and our farmers
have seen proper to cut loose from the
infernal mortgage system and assert
their independence. There is a mer-
chant in this town, one who has seen
~\the time when he carried the largest
per cent of the farmers of this county
on a mortgage in his overcoat pocket,
but he has lost his grip and the time
has gone now who has been heard
to say within the last few days that he
wished that there was not an acre of
tobacco planted in the county and that
the merchants of Greenville had never
been benefitted one cent from the to-
bacco market, that there was not as
90000 | much money made to-day by the peo-
ple of the county and that the mer-
chants of Greenville did not sell as
many goods to-day as they did ten or
twelve years ago when there was no
tobacco planted in Pitt county, and
closed by saying that the farmers told
him that the tobacco men were the
toughest men to deal with of any class
in the country and that if he nad his
way about it he would not plant a
stalk this year. Well! Well! Well!
the Greenville tobacco market will
certainly have to close if this man
to plant this year we will be ruined, of
course.

a fool might see it. It is not doubted
at all that there may be some men in
town who are not selling aS many
goods as they formerly did, but this is
because an era of comparative prosper-
ity has loomed upon the farmers and
they are allowed to trade where they
please, and the day also has passed
when one, two or three men constituted
Greenville, and the man who made
this remark, whoever he. was,must nec-
essarily sooner or later realize that the |
business of Greenville is not by any
means all vested in one man. It is ev-
ident that he is very mach behind the
times as yet or he would not have
made the remark~ and if such is the
case then it is only natural for him to
think that Greenville is not selling as
many goods as formerly because he is
not.
That the tobacco market has done a
great deal toward developing Green-
ville no intelligent man will dispute,
and that some of this manTs property

Through the kindness of Messrs.
J. B. Cherry & Co., the writer was
furnished a comparative estimate of the
number of bales of cdtton that was
grown in Pitt county since 1880,) and
from that statement (and we believe
that this firm have as accurate an esti-
mate as can be found in the county)
take the greatest number of bales of
cotton grown in any one year and
place the price of the cotton at ten
cents a pound and the Greenville to-
bacco market paid out last year as
much money for tobacco as was paid
for cotton. when, the greatest num-
ber of bales were produced in any one
year at the largest average price that
cotton has sold for in fifteen years, This
statement is not produced here for any
facts to those who may not know them,| |

say that ordinarily these things would
not have been noticed, but recently
this thing has become not only odious
but is calculated todo harm and it is]
only in justice to those engaged in the
tobacco business that any attention
is paid it.

Secretary Lamont sent to the House
today a report of the corps of engineers

structing a ship canal trom Norfolk,
Va., through Dismal Swamp, to New
Berne, N.C. The cost of a ten-foot
seems to take considerable pleasure, in fivaterway i is placed at, $1,711,380, and | sets, which, the costumer declared
the.cost of one nine feet deep is estima-
ted at $1,364,930. The report makes
no recommendation, simply, calling at-
tention to the fact that the Dismal

| tions has been carried on at the bot-
tom of Lake Nemi, an extinct crater in
the Alban hills, about 15 miles from
Iiome. The place is most picturesque,
anda little village, with a tall
medieval tower and red and yellow
roofs,regards its reflection in thelimpid
~| waters of the lake far below.
The dweiTers along the banks of the
little lake, othe nymphs and satyrs of
the chestnut alleys,� have thrown the
poetry of their vivid. imaginations
around the story of a lost ship and have
woven around it a strangely pic-
turesque legend.
This legend in its briejest form re-
lates that once upon a time in the misty
ages.of the past a king lived here with
his one only child, the fair Princess
Hiaha. She was a noted huntress and
went daily to the chase, attended by a
group of girls, spirits kindred to her
own.
One day the fortunes of the chase
separated her from her companions
aid after wandering about, tired and
hungry, ~she saw in the distance a
youth engaged in whistling, imitating
the birds of the forest, especially the
nightingale, whose rippling notes he
had caught exactly. Tle was as hand-
some as a dream and was a strawberry-
gatherer. He gave the princess. a
basket filled with strawberries and a_
pretty bunch of cyclamens, which
abound in these woods. It may be
noted here that Nemi is celebrated for |
the flavor of its wild strawberries.
Next day the princess separated
again from her companions of the
shase, but now it was by design and not
by accident. She again met the peasant
youth with the strawberries and the
cyclamens. The wandering away of}
the princess from her companions be-
came as much a habit with her as meet-
ing with the handsome young Man
who whist!ed like a nightingale. These
two became fond lovers. The king was
informed of the matter and the hunt-
iug was stopped and the princess was
relegated to a sort of mild imprison-
ment.
She wandered about in a wooded
garden, open on the lake side, but ir
side.
A great barge or boat was moored
near the land, and when the days were
warm she sought the coolness of this
retreat, The barge, according io the
Jegend, was an enchanted island, united
to the shore by a well-eguarded draw-
bridge. It wasa retreat just suited for
lovers and had a-sort.of resemblance to
{hat dreamed of by Claude Meinotte as
a fitting residence for his bride Pauline.
Love laughs at locksmiths and over-
passes grea: obstacles. Ona wide, low-
spreading plane-tree that hung over the
water, the strawberry youth with the
nightingale notes walked along the
spredding branch and dropped down
into the barge. He saw Diana and he
was happy.
One evening every one was overcome
with the hot sirocco wind. A storm
arose. The princess and the straw-
herry lad were on the barge. The huge
ship broke from her moorings. She
sprung a leak and began gradually to
settle down in the water. The storm
raged and the terrible darkness was
only breken by the flashes of vivid light-
uing which illuminated the scene for a
brief moment. When the morning
broke the lake was smooth and tran-
quil, but no boat broke the shine of
iis surface. The barge, with Princess
Diana and her lover with the nightin-
gale notes had perished, and no more
was ever heard of the hapless pair."

dered me by this safe and you are at liberty to
