The cost of doing<lb />this is very much less than we had<lb />supposed. The Wilmington Messen-<lb />ger, Charlotte Observer and other<lb />daily papers published simultaneoulsy,<lb />ull the rews of interest transpiring here,<lb />witn the city papers.<lb /><lb />About all the educational institutions<lb />of Raleigh have held their commence-<lb />ments, as closing exercises are called,<lb />and the students have gone to their<lb />various homes to spend their snmmer<lb />vacation. Each institution, of course,<lb />claims a larger attendance and more<lb />gratitying progress than in any former<lb />year. We had the pleasure of attend-<lb />ing the moat of them and were favor-<lb />ably impressed and frank to express<lb />our convictions, that the schools here<lb />are of high grade,and, most of the teach-<lb />ers thoroughly competent, faithtul and<lb />zealous in the performance of their du-<lb />ties. The A. &amp; M.

The sons of farm<lb />ers are here taught how to make their<lb />own liviny in some practical way, while<lb />the developments of their minds and<lb />muscles are not ueglected. Most all,<lb />if not every one, who have graduated<lb />here is now occupying some responsible<lb />position at good wages. Technical<lb />training while tending to intellectural<lb />devolopment, trains the hand . and<lb />reconciles the practical with ths scien-<lb />tific. It teaches our young men not to<lb />be ashamed of honest labor and at the<lb />same time enables poor boys to earn<lb />their own bread.

L. JOYNER.<lb /><lb />eee<lb /><lb />From tl.e information that we have :<lb /><lb />gathered from the conntry in various<lb /><lb />sections there is no question of doubt}.<lb /><lb />but that while the tobacz) crop in some<lb /><lb />sections is more forward than usual it};<lb /><lb />is still a very unsatisfactory one to the<lb />farmers.<lb /><lb />mers that managed to get all their<lb />crop set on a good season in April or<lb />very early May who have good stands<lb /><lb />with the exception of where the bud |;<lb />worms cut it down during the cold | %<lb /><lb />nights ia May.<lb />vanced and in some cases are all topped<lb />out and are looking very well indeed,<lb />but the great body of the tobacco was<lb />set trom May 5th to 15th, and beyond<lb /><lb />doubt this tooacco is more unsatistacto- |<lb /><lb />ry to the farmers in many ways than<lb />any crop we have ever grown. While<lb />it may be reverse to the criticisms<lb /><lb />made of the crop of eastern North Car- |<lb />olina by a good many other reporters<lb />yet it we were called upon to give an| 9<lb />estimate of this crop in comparison | 5%<lb /><lb />with the T95 crop we shoull most cer-<lb />tainly not place it over 80 in condition,<lb />and while we cannot tell what the fu-<lb />ture seasons will be or how the crop<lb />will be looking in ten days, we do know<lb />that unless there is a decided change<lb />for the better, and that soon, the<lb />eastern North Carolina crop this year<lb />will be by far the poorest that we have<lb />ever had. Andabout the acreage some<lb />of our high flying enthusiasts will be<lb />surprised some of these days when they<lb />realize that there was not as much to-<lb />bacco planted in eastern North Carol.�<lb />na in 1896 as there was in 1895. One<lb />of the most destructive hail storms<lb />passed through a section of country on<lb />the north side of the river that we<lb />have ever had. Mr. J. S. Smith tells<lb />us that he had 84 acres of tobacco and<lb />that it is literally torn all to pieces.<lb />He had already cured one barn of prim-<lb />ings and would soon have been ready<lb />to commence curing in full blast. The<lb />storm passed through « section about<lb />five miles in length doing great damage<lb />to all the crops but Mr. SmithTs .and<lb />Mr. BarnhillTs were the worst damaged<lb />of any that we have heard of, theirTs<lb />being entirely ruined.<lb /><lb />ALIKE IN NAME.<lb /><lb />Another Daily Reflector Published in<lb />Ohio.<lb /><lb />Our good friend Alex Heilbroner, of<lb /><lb />New York, who is now on a tip<lb />through the western states, sends us a<lb />copy ofa paper published at Norwalk,<lb />Ohio, that made us feel quite at home<lb />when we read the head line. The<lb />name of the paperis THe Darty Re-<lb />FLECTOR, and doubtless the similarity<lb />of names led Alex to believe a copy of<lb />it would be interesting to us. And so<lb />it proved.<lb /><lb />While both papers have identically<lb />the same name there are some points<lb />of differenceT between us.

Many new converts<lb />sing, oJesus paid it all, all to him I<lb />owe.� Nosuch thing. Jesus did not<lb />pay it all; neither do you owe all to<lb />him. If the week before you were con-<lb />verted you owed your neighbor ten dol-<lb />lars and was able to pay it, you owe<lb />that neighbor ten collars yet. Jesus<lb />did not pay that for you. If you donTt<lb />pay that debt it will meet you at judg-<lb />ment as sure as you are a sinner. It<lb />is mean in you to expect Jesus to pay<lb />debts for you that you can pay your-<lb />self. If you have a Christian heart in<lb />you, think how much Jesus paid for<lb />you that you never could have met at<lb />GodTs bar of inflexible justice. Some<lb />people think that the cleansing stream<lb />of JesusT blood washed Sinai away and.<lb />déluyed the law"no such thing. Je-<lb />sus came not to destroy, but to fulfill,<lb />and give grace that we through him<lb />might fulfill.<lb /><lb />At the close of a great revival a few<lb />years ago a number of young men<lb /><lb />4<lb /><lb />go and pay bills that they had made<lb />at barrooms for whisky, etc. I told<lb />them to oowe no man anything,� olet<lb />not your good be evil spoken ofT"<lb />give the devil his dues.

It.is, however, the northern<lb />people who are helping the negroes to<lb />This is not said<lb />in criticism of the southern people,<lb />for conditions were made for them long<lb />ago, and their feelings and opinions<lb /><lb />ment, which will in time be changed<lb />by the new conditions.<lb /><lb />It is simply impossible for them to<lb />look at the negro as we do. Illustra-<lb />tions of this are constantly met in<lb />coing about the city. One morning.<lb />when starting for the fair grounds,<lb />a ~bus driver on his way back from,<lb />the grounds drew up his horses to the<lb />walk, where several were waiting for<lb />the car, and said if we would meke up<lb />« load he would turn around. When<lb />we started off there was room for two<lb />more in the Tbus and room for one on<lb />the seat with the driver. I sat next to<lb />the driver on the inside, and we had<lb />gone only a few rods when a neatly-<lb />diressed, very respectable young col-<lb />ored woman and a boy, alsoT well:<lb />dressed, signified by a slight gesture<lb />that they wanted to ride. The driver<lb />did not see it, so I said: oThere are<lb />{wo passengers.� He drew up to the<lb />walk and the woman and voy got in.<lb />The driver looked around at them, and<lb />then, utterly regardless of their feel-<lb />ings, said in a loud voice: o If I had<lb />hnown it was a nigger I wouldn't have<lb />stopped.� But he did not turn them<lb />out. A few rods further an Italian,<lb />dirty and ill-kept, stood with his harp<lb />by his side, as if he also were waiting<lb />for a ride, and our driver pulled up his<lb />horses and pointed to the seat beside<lb />him; but the harpisi was not ready<lb />to go, so we drove on.<lb /><lb />It is simply a confliction of ideas,<lb />not personal antipathy. A young<lb />southern woman was shocked because<lb />we two northern women went to lunch<lb />:n the negro building. She acknowl-<lb />edged that a colored cook always pre-<lb />pared her meals, and a colored waiter<lb />always served her, but to go to a res-<lb />taurant where a colored manTs brain<lb />managed the business, and a colored<lb />man or woman might occupy a table<lb />next to you"that she could not con-<lb />ceive of a white personTs doing.<lb />~The negro has, however, made a<lb />freat..stride. by this exhibition.
