LOCAL NOTES AND ~TOBACCO
JOTTINGS.
RE
BY O. L. JOYNER.
mee 7 eet,
There is still a great deal of com-
plaint among the farmers about. scar-
city of plants and these who have them
sav they are very small tor the season
of the year.
oThe people of our beautiful sunrise
seetion-bave climbed the ladderT to. the
last round in the growth of bright to-
bacco and fling their banner to the
winds,� is the caption of the Greenville
articlein the tobacco editign of the
News and Observer.
There is not a more progressive
element er class of men in the South,
or in the nation so far as that goes,
than the tobaccontsts of North Caro-
lina. The recent tobacco edition of the
Raleigh News und Observer shows to
what extent the tobacco men will go to
work keeping themselves and their
business up with the march of progress.
Mr. Arendell saysthere was not a mark-
et in the State, not even one, that was
not represented inT this issue, and it
seemed that each one vied with the
other to see what credit could be done
| the tobacco interests.
Itis now in order to enquire again
if the people of Greenville are going to
take any steps toward securing a
Board of Trade or Chamber of Come
merce for the town. The objects, aims
and purposes of a Board of Trade have
been frequently set forth by this paper
and it certainly seems that some steps
ought to be taken at once to organize.
There are numbers of young, energetic,
active business men that ought to feel
interest enough in the advancement
of the town to lend a helping hand to
this cause... The time has been when
| our people could allow such things to
be neglected, but the moral status of
the community and the dignity of the
town can no longer afford to treat such
matters lightly. Can the people of
Greenville afford not to have some
means by which concerted action of the
citizens can be secured when it is need-
ed? If oné momientTs thought is given
this matter it can be seen at a glance
the absolute necessity ot such an or-
ganization, even for. the protection of
the private interests of each citizen,
saying nothing about the public good to
be derived from it. If we hada thor-
oughly orgunized Board of Trade com-
posed of the representative business
men of the town there are many ad-
vantages that could be had just tor the
asking that we donTt enjoy now. A
petition asking for any special measure
that is for the public good instead of
having to wait for some one to take, it
and go individually to each man in the
town for his signature and probably
nine times in ten thé whole thing have
tu be explained to each one separately,
could be referred for action to this or
| -rauization and disposed of while it was
thought about outside. If there was
anything needed which required a voice
from the town instead of calling a spe-
cial meeting of the citizens at the
Court House. The whole matter could
easily and systemmatically be disposed
of without all this trouble if we had a
Beard of Trade.
Then again there are too many eyes
turned to Greenville to-day, there are,
| too manyT people who are beginning to}
feel interested in our section, forT us to
showsuch a careless indifference about
our, own town. and community, I.
some ot our people, in tact all, of them,
who are trying so hard to get rich in a
short while, would give littleT more
attention to such inatters #8 these theyT
| ywould the better pave theit own way to

stronger current of trade will most
surely flow. It is upon this. principle
that we argue that a Chamber of Com-
merce or Board of Trade will benefit
the individual as well as the whole
town and no possible injury can result
from it to anyone. What we need is
more public spirited feeling and united
action on the part of our citizens. A
Board of Trade will produce this and
we must have it.

LI HUNG: GHANG'S DUPLICITY.
How an English Captain Was Secured for
Chinese Service,
In engaging the services of a com-
petent British officer to organize the
Chinese navy, the governnient"i. e.,
Li HWung Chang-- was obliged to resort
to duplicity in order to effect a sem-
blance of reconciliation between the
naval service and the mandarin sys-
tem. After the experience gained in
his first term of service in China, Capt.
Lang deélined ~ta re-enter it without
~ddequate substantive tank.� Whether
this stipulation was made by the Brit-
ish board of admiralt ty before giving
him leave to serve, oF Vea imposed by
Capt, Lang himself, is imouiaterial.

In the summer of the year 1830
Abraham Lincoln exercised the right of
majority and started out to shift for
himself. When he left his home to
start life for himself he went empty-
handed. He was already some months
over 21 years of age, but he had noth-
ing in the world, not even a suit of
respectable ¢elothes; and one of the first
pieces of work he did was oto split 400
rails for every yard of brown jeans
~dyed .with white walnut bark that
would be necessary to make him a pair
of trousers:��.He had-no-trade, no pro-
fession, no spot of land, no patron, no
influence, Two things recommended
him to his neighbors"he was strong
and he was a good fellow,
~His. strength made him a valuable
laborer, Not that he was fond of hard
labor. Mrs. Crawford says: oAbe was
no hand to pitch into work like killing
snakes,� but when ke did work it was
with an ease and effectiveness which
compensated his employer for the time
he spent in practical jokes and extem-
poreneous speeches. He wou!d lift as
much as three ordinary men, and oMy,
how he would chop!� says Dennis
Hanks. oDis ax would flash and bite
into a sugar tree or sycamore, and
down it would come. If you heard him
fellinT trees in @ clearinT you would
say there was three men at work by
the way the trees fell.� Standing six
fect four, He could outlifi, outw ork and
outwrestle any man he came in contact
with. Friends and employers were
proud of his strength, and beasted of
it, never failing to pit him aguinst any
hero whose strength they heard vaunt-
~ed. He himself was proud of it, and
throughout his life-was fond of compar:
ing himself with tall and'strong meh. |
Ne drove the oxen on the semoval
of the Lincoln family from Indiana to
THlinois, he tells us, and, ~according to
a story current in Gentryville, he suc-
ceeded in doing a fair peddlerTs busi-
ness on the route. ~Capt. William Jones,
in whose fatherTs store Lincoln - had.
spent so many hours in discussion and
story-telling, and for whom he had
worked the Iast winter be was in Tndi-
ana, says that before leaving the state
Abraham invested all his money, some
thirty odd dollars, in notions. oA set
of knives and forks was the largest
item entered on the bill,� says Mr.
Jones; othe other, itéms were needles,
pins, thread, buttons and. other little
domestic necessities. When the Lin-
colns reached their new home near De-
eatur, Tl. Abraham wrote baek to my
father, stating that he had dorbiled
his money on his purchases by selling
them along the road.�"McClureTs Mag-

CARE OF HATS.
Fe een: aaa
Specks of Dust, Ruffled Feathers and Pin-
holes Are Not to Be Commended. '
The essential of womanTs attire, for
which she pays the most fanciful
price, is her hat. A simple felt snipe
plainly trimmed with velvet and wings
costs no mean sum, and when a more
betrimmed ~andT beftrbélowed ~affair is
chosen, the drain on the purse makes
the wearer wince. Yet how few wom-
en take proper care of the dainty erea-
,tions after they:are purchased. It is
the abuse. not the use, of the hat, that |
makes it rapidly become shabby.
} When it is ptt on for the first time
the wearer must decide just where to
insert the point of the hat pin so that
it: will cnuse least harm. When the
hat is worn thereafter care must be
taken to put the pins in the holes made
soon become roughened and marred
with many punctures. When the hat
is taken off it must be carefully brushed
with a soft whisk broom and every par-
ticle of Just dislodged from the brim
and from the crown. The loops and
bows must then be pulled straight and
the feathers or wings smoothed intoT
place if the wind has blown them into
disorder. oA large band box lined witi:
tissue paper is the proper receptacle far
this easily injured head covering.
