L. JOYNER.<lb /><lb />During the last two or three months<lb />there have been quite a number of<lb />strangers to uur town and it has been<lb />our pleasure to talk with a good many<lb />of them. ~Almost without exception<lb />they have marveled at the superior<lb />quality. of our bright tobacco. Until<lb />very recently, and in fact now there<lb />are a great many people that think the<lb />chief products of the pastern section<lb />of our State are tar, | piteb, turpentine<lb />and &amp; littie cotton, while the bright to-<lb />bacco belt of the State has been heralded<lb />to the world'as lying in that. section<lb />which is traversed by the Sea ~Board<lb />Air Line railroad, when in point of fact<lb />the hest bright tobacco producing belt<lb />in the world to-day lies along the At-<lb />lantic Coast Line system of eastern<lb />North Carclina. These people that<lb />have passed through here from the<lb />North say the tarmers of eastern North<lb />Carolina have a! mint almost in the<lb />proper production of bright tobacco and<lb />yet the most of our people think, and<lb />they do, have a hard time making any-<lb />thing out of tobacco. If our farmers<lb />could take a prospective trip through<lb />the agricultural fields of New England<lb />and note the extreme advantages under<lb />which the people up there have to<lb />jabor in comparison with the many ad-<lb />vantages that the people of the South<lb />and especially eastern :North Carolina<lb />have, it would be an incentive to our<lb />people to come back home and live<lb />more contented and utilize our oppor-<lb />tunities in a more profitable way. We<lb />are fully aware of the fret that agri-<lb />cultural products of all kinds have de-<lb />preciated in value at an amazing ratio<lb />during the last few years and we know,<lb />too, that for the amount of labor ex-<lb />pended there is less pay in farming<lb />than almost anything a man can en-<lb />gage in, because the farmerTs taper has | +<lb />been burning at both ends, for while<lb />over production has been working its<lb />serious injury to almost all our pro-<lb />ducts the passage of ~lav:s. by our<lb />national Congress inimicable to the<lb />farmerTs interests has also played sad<lb />havoc in many instances. Yet under<lb />these circumstances purely as a matter<lb />of business our farmers should take ad-<lb />vantage of all influences that are to<lb />their interest and make the best of the<lb />circumstances under which we live and<lb />which we cannot avoid. In other<lb />words farming should be cunducted up<lb />on as high a plain of business as the<lb />mercantile orany other profession. The<lb />successful business management ot a<lb />farm requires more careful judgment<lb />and the exercise of more hard dowz<lb />common sense than any other profes-<lb />sion in which man can engage, and it is<lb />an account of the lack ofthis that the<lb />profession has been dragged down to its<lb />present standard. And then, too, busi-<lb />ness failures in other professions are<lb />~dumped generaly into the agricultural<lb />the last on earth to which they should<lb />go, and as a matter of fact having been<lb />|failures at everythiug else they make<lb />an ignominious one here.<lb /><lb />Our purpose when we started to<lb />write this article was to show to our<lb />readers the superior advantages that<lb />we possess.as on agricultural people in<lb />_| the eyes of strangers who come among<lb />us, and that while we are to-day not<lb />getting as much for the fruits of. our<lb />|labor as We are justly entitled to, ye<lb />after all we are a great deal better<lb />of than many of our less fortu-<lb />nate triends in the bleakj and: frigid<lb />| States ~of the Noith and ° = ny where<lb />on account, of climatic conditions i it is,<lb /><lb />almost i le to get.in more . than<lb />workin theyeari:: ~Dow:<lb /><lb />San Si<lb /><lb />TOs Moe Gna<lb /><lb />«badd Fon ee<lb /><lb />oD<lb /><lb />bitterly cold in winter that outdoor<lb />work cannot be done the year around,<lb /><lb />almost every variety of crop at about<lb />half the expense that the same would<lb />cost in the Northern States, and while<lb />in many instances our lands have run<lb />down yet under skillful management in<lb />a short while their fertility can be re-<lb />placed. 'And last, but by no means<lb />least, Wehave with us the native born<lb /><lb />ot any other in the world, when prop-<lb />erly treated, to help us in our agricul-<lb />tural pursuits, With these advantages<lb />that we possess, under prudent busi-<lb />ness management does it not seem that<lb />we should get the full benefit of the<lb /><lb />opportunity that is presented.<lb /><lb />AROUND THE TRACK.<lb /><lb />pean ponte rae<lb /><lb />Exciting Races for the Second Day.<lb /><lb />ppp en onto ess<lb /><lb />If anything the races for ~Thursday<lb />were even more interesting and excit-<lb />ing than the day betore.

Every<lb />heat was. exciting and very close.<lb /><lb />In the first Julian May came in<lb />ahead in 2:254, and again in the second<lb />in 2:26. Fortune then turned the<lb />other way and Prince Albert won the<lb />third and fourth heats in 2:29 each.<lb />By this time it was so dark the horses<lb />could not be seen around the track and<lb />the final heat was postponed to 9 oTclock<lb />this morning.<lb /><lb />During the night there was much<lb />speculation as to which horse would<lb />win, and a lare crowd was on hand at<lb />the appointed hour to witness the final<lb />heat. It was won by Julian May by<lb />less than half length in 2:28, .

Deer meat is too<lb />scarce and too high to let it go like<lb />that.� . .<lb /><lb />Cummings said he surely would stop<lb />the next time, and Clarke got the agent<lb />to telegraph to the agent at Horseshoe<lb />to send the section men down to the<lb />river with their hand car to get the!<lb />deer. It was after. 11 o'clock, but the<lb />section men started out, and after a<lb />smart pull got down to the river. They<lb />looked a long time, but could find no<lb />deer. Up and down the track they<lb />went, and at last were just about to<lb />give up in disgust when one of the men<lb />found it. It lay out.on the bank of the |<lb />ditch beside the track.
