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 EasternT 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, ohence we report
that 1t is difficult to compare last yearTs
crop with this except we take it at
stated periods. If we were asked to
compare the T90 with 796 crop July Ist,
of each year, we should most assuredly
say the T96 crap would not rate over
85 or 90 at the outside with the T
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.

In order to let the people who have
written tohim know the. condition of
affairs, Mr. Bryan to-day gave out the
following signed statement :
Lincoln, Neb., July 20, 1896.
oTo the Public:
oMy daily mail has crown so large
that I find it impossible to read all
letters receiye d, and still more impos-
sible to reply at lenzth to them. 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 theT National committee at
committee headquarters oas soon as
headquarters are opened. If friends
will be kind enough | to observe the
above suggestions I shallobe able to
devote my time more tully to the work
of the campaign.
(Signed) oW. J. Bryan.�
Poor Mr, Bryan.
Mr. Bryan has always posed 19;
only as the peor manTs 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. BryanTs 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 ogold and_ silver
plateT Mr. Bryan wrote $10 and then
erased the figures. He wrote $50 op-
posite ojewelry 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. Uis household goods are reduced, |.

NIGHTFALL ON THE FARM.
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 oTer us,
White blossoms dropping down,
And, fringed with flowers, before us
The path lay bare and brown.
We heard the sheep-bellTs 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 wereT shaded
Their perfume we could mark.
Up in a locustTs branches
A little bird said ocheep� "
TT was all that broke the silence,
The whole world seemed asleep.
~~Good-night,,� she said. oI love you!
I said. She. did not speak ;
Bui switt she leaned toward me
With tears upon her cheek.

~* CAPTAIN KIDOD'S HOUSE,
meee
| tall Standing Near Allenwood, N. 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. A mile or two from
the house the Manasquan river flows
steadily on its tortuous route to
mother ocean, and soveral times in
the memory of the present inhabit-
ants the banks of the river have
been searched for relics of Captain
Kidd, while many persons have
gained permission from the farmers
and armed with charts and maps
have dug for miles around for the
wissing buried treasure. Even now
a party is hard at work on the Toms
river, but ten miles from the house
ditigently working on the old claim
and believing that each new day
will see discoveries which will make
work for the treasure hunters un
necessary in the future. And still
the glittering prospect is held asa
bait before their eyes, and when the
patience of one party of searchers
gives out axother is ready and wait
ing to take up the pick and shove}
~and keep up the good work.
The old Morris house, as it is stil!
galled, ig now on the Tilton farm,

chased the farm from the Morrises
many years. agc. The farmhouse of
the Tilton familv is but a stoneTs
throw from the vld house, which

helpers during the busy season. The
room in which it is alleged that
KiddTs ghost.walks is at the top of
the house, and if is said that when
traveling through that part of the
country he would always stop at
the Morris house, where he was sure |
of awelcome and a bed. I could
find nobody during a recent visit to:
that part of Monmouth county who
would confess to having seen the
ghost, but it is a fable which has
been handed down from father to
son that on stated occasions he
would be heard moving about in his
room until eariv in the morning, as
he was wont to de in the early days
of the settling of New Jersey wher
visiting at the old house.
The house was built with but few
windows, and although severa} have.
been added recently there are only
eight, and two doors on the front,
while the sides have.one each. Cap-
tain KiddTs room was under the
eaves of the roof, and only one win
dow furnished him with light and

(HE BOER WOMAN,
Piain Enough, but Kissed From the Oraile
to theT Grave.
~The Boer woman is unlovable in | i
appearance. Graces and modern ac-
complishments are unknown to her.
Handsome she is not, nor is her
temper angelic, Her cooking would
often kill an ostrich, and her voice
is not attuned to harmony. All
that notwithstanding, the most
kissed being on earth is the Boer
woman.
From the cradle to the grave she
is kissed"by great-grandfather and
great-grandmother, by her grand-
father and grandmother; of course
she is kissed by her parents. She is
kissed by her grand uncles and
aunts, by cousins male and female
to the last degree of kinship. Sho
is kissed by the relatives of the
above and by their relatives. Her
brothers and brothers-in-law, her sis-
ters and sisters-in-law and all their
children kiss her. So does her sweet-
heart and all her female friends and
Aoquaintances. Her husband ani
phildren and all her relatives and fe-
male friends, residing long or short
under her roof, kiss her repeatedly
every day.
Whether she and her-husband are
in good circumstances or not, he |.
buys or sells nothing without ask-
ing her advice and abiding by it. He
undertakes no work without her
sanction. She commands her mar-
ried son of 50-in the same way that
she did when he was 5. He obeys
and kisses her just.as childlike, She
calls her husband by his Christian
name to her friends. To others she
speaks of him as ~~the baas.�T Ask
her if he is her ~~baas.TT ~~No,TT he
is her ~~man.�T ~~What white wom-
an,TT she asks you, ~~ever had a mas-
ter? Do you take me for a Kaffir
woman?�
The Boer woman could not con-
ceive the idea of having a master,
In poverty most dire she has had
from infancy at least one black serv-
aut. Like her mother before her,
she would see her daughters perish
with hunger before she would allow
them to go as domestic servants.
They are in her eyes the equals of
the most high born dames in any
land, and servants they shall never
be. She detests the thought of her
sons working for an employer, but
often has to give way on that point
The Boer woman has often been
held up as lazy, dull, stupid and
dirty. A greater calumny has nev.
er been uttered'against any woman.
Her intense pride and love of inde-
pendence make her appear so to the
European lady or gentleman who
knows nothing of the-conditions of
life that have formed her customs
and made her what she is at present.
The Boer woman, with her chil-
dren, would retire to the most arid
desert of Africa and live on air scon-
er than dwell at ease and in luxury
where she contrasted unfavorably
with her neighbors. Shescorns the
slightest patrqnage extended to her.
no matter from whom. _
She bas inherited an innnts love
of bright colors and beautiful things.
When she cannot obtain these things,
~she is content to wear tha saddest:
colored garments and not be trou-
bled by the most sordid and dreary
surroundings.
She rules her ~~manTT kind with a
rod of iron. They do not know it,

All of them would take. oath that.
