Answer ail the ‘it MORE ABOUT THE EASTERN CROP. ee eT BY 0. Le. JOYNER. Last week we traveled through a good portion ot what is considered the crack tobacco belt of Eastern’ North Carolina. The route covered we sup- pose is somewhere in the neighborhood of one hundred or one hundred and twenty-five miles and our object was to ascertain as near as possible the exact crop condition. As stated in a former article we found the crop very much broken, in fact, more so than we expected. There are several good crops and afew far- mers were fortunate enough to get all their tobacco cut early and these crops while not near so large as it grew last year looks very well indeed and in those sections where they have not had too much rain it is ripening up uniform- ily and cures as good. The writer has had several letters from tobacconists askiny how the crop compares with the 95 crop. That isa question hard to answer correctly for during the last three years our people have all thought about all cured and the trade has been deceived every year. Last year it was thought from the growth of the crop that it was an excellent one and when they thought and so did everybody else | that it was the sorriest tobacco they had and we all kept continually looking for the good tobacco which failed however to put ia its appearance. This has been the case now fur the last three years, the first curings have turned out to be the best tobacco, “hence we report that 1t is difficult to compare last year’s crop with this except we take it at stated periods. If we were asked to compare the ’90 with 796 crop July Ist, of each year, we should most assuredly say the ’96 crap would not rate over 85 or 90 at the outside with the ’ crop taking 100 as the best. We have heard more complaint of the flea bug this year than ever before. Last week we were in several crops that to all appearances looked fine but upon close inspection we found that the ravages of the flea bug were tre- mendous. healthy growthy plants almost sucked to death by the bugs. Some leaves that trom the top did not seem to be hurt much, when turned over and viewed in the light looked almost like a sifter. bettom, of course there are not many crops this bad but nearly every crop that we saw had been damaged some by these pests and while this will not seriously damage the color it will make the crop light and chaffy which at present prices means little to the farmers. 90 Large —_—ccaee ee .

Those who are interested in the success of our cause will appreciate the situation and pardom me tor making the follow- ing suggestions: First, as time will not permit a full discussion of political questions in so large a number of pri. vate letters, I shall, in order to avoid discrimination reserve all such discus- sions tor public occasions. Second, as offers of services, and suggestions a to the conduct of the campaign shoud be made to National .committeemen represeating various States and Terri- | ¥ tories. Ad! requests for _ campaign literature should be. addressed to the secretary of the’ National committee at committee headquarters “as soon as headquarters are opened.

Mr. Bryan has always posed 19; only as the peor man’s friend, bat as a poor man himself. An examina‘ion of the records in the offize of the county treasurer discloses the tact that the sil- ver candidate for President pays real estate taxes tothe amount of $2.90, He has not Yehqmid_ the» 1893. assess | ment on his property. The only piece of real estate that stands in his name in this county is a two-and-a-half-acre tract of unoccupied land about three miles from the centre tity. It was purchased during tiie hoom days, whena land ten miles out was regagded as available for town lots. Thé®Value of the land is given at $70. Mr. Bryan’s personal property was assessed at $340 in 1895; the tax wis $11.03, and was promptly paid. The tax schedule for that year made out and signed by him is an interesting document. He confesses to the posses- sion of one horse, valved at $10: four watches and clocks, $20 ; money, $20 ; household goods, $100, and stock in corporations, $1,000. Opposite the words “gold and_ silver plate’ Mr. Bryan wrote $10 and then erased the figures. He wrote $50 op- posite “jewelry and diamonds” and made a second erasure. He returned two carriages, and then on secund thought said he did not own any car- riage. ' The tax schedule for the current year has just reached the treasurer's of-.| fige.

He feels so stre that the common peo- ple will overwhelm McKinleyiem that he refrses to make pledges of any kind. “It is impossible to be with Mr. Bryan out here without being impressed with his independence of leaders or bosses. He proposes to be the leader himself, No manbas a mortgage on Mr. Bryan. “Mr; Bryan has decided to get up before daybreak to-morrow and ride to St. Louis onthe milk train. He has refused to consider the question of a special train. The correspondents who are accompanying him on- his journey to Nebraska are alarmed at the pros- p2cc of campaigning with a man who has been known to ride acioss country fifty-two miles and make two three- hour speeches in one day. “Still no congratulations from the ‘Democratic leaders of the great Eas- tern States, still no word from the White House.

Upon the porch at even We two together stood, And listened to the tinkle Of sheep bells in the v-ood. The locust trees bent o’er us, White blossoms dropping down, And, fringed with flowers, before us The path lay bare and brown. We heard the sheep-bell’s music Far off and dreamy grow ; We saw the white flowers sprinkle The lawn like flecks of snow ; The roses drew back shyly Into the silent dark, But though their haunts were’ shaded Their perfume we could mark. Up in a locust’s branches A little bird said “cheep” — ’T was all that broke the silence, The whole world seemed asleep. ‘‘Good-night,,” she said. “I love you! I said.

J. and an Object of Interést. tween the quaint little hamlet of Allenwood, N. J., and the village of Sea Girt, made famous through the annual encampment of the New Jersey state militia, stands an old fashioned shingle house which ante. dates the recollection of even the oldest resident and‘ has become the show place of the country. Not only does the great age of the old house mako it interesting to visit- ors, but also the story that the body of the late lamented Captain Kidd, ‘whose treasure is buried somewhere along the coast and has been search- ed for from Florida to Maine, lies uneasy in its grave and makes peri- odical visits to the house once occu. pied by that wealthy but somewhat erratic gentleman. The house is a twostory structure, conspicuous chiefly for the fact that instead of having only a shingle roof, as was customary in tie days when the house was built, it is con. structed altogether of shingles and presents the appearance of having been built with the idea to repel an attack should any such emergency occur. The old men of Allenwcod say that the house was built years before Washington assumed the office of president of the United States, and that one of the early set- tlers in that part of the couutry. Morris by name, cut each and every shingle by hand and with only the assistance given by a strong pocket knife. The house is at the junction of ‘three roads, ono leading to Allcu. wood, one to Sea Girt and one to ‘| Brielle, another small town four miles away. == Don't forget the Fieflector Office.
