We believe in seeing a newspaper
stand by its town and say everything
that~is fair und right in behalt of its
own tobacco market, but when in un-
dertaking to do this is has to go outside
and make comparisons with other towns
it is getting on rather shaky ground un-
less it knows just what it is doing.
anything unless they can be substa.-
tiated, and the paper that makes them
places itself at a disadvantage and
shows that it is simply talking othrough
its hat� just to make a boast.
For instance, the last Kinston Free
Press made a very broad assertion,
doubtless not knowing whatit was say-
ing, as no figures were given t9 substan-
tiate tha claim. The Rertecror would
not feel called upon to pay any atfen-
tion whatever to the boast but for the
fact that. Greenville was brought in it
by way of comparison. ~That paper
says :
oQur town now has facilities to
handle as much tobacco as any market
in Eastern Carolina. Our two mam-
moth warehouses are about equal in
ffoor snace to all the warehouses in
Greenville.� 2
No objection at all to the first sen-
tence in the above quotation if it had
stopped there. But let us see a bit as
to the last sentence. Kington has two
tobacco warehous2s, Greenville has
four. The floor space of GreenvilleTs
four houses 1s 48 follows :
Star, 80x140 11,200 feet
Greenville, 80x160 12,800 feet.
Eastern, 959x175 16,625 feet.
Plagters, 80x156 12,480 feet.
Total floor space 53,105 feet,
We have been told, therefore do rot
give this of our own knowledge, that
KinstonTs largest warehouse is 80x200
teet, making 16,000 feet of floor space
for that one house alone. Now. if that.
townTs smallest warehouse has a floor
space two-atid-one-third times as great
as its largest house then we will admit
that the claim of the Free Press. But
unless that paper can give the figures to
sustain its position then it must otake
water.T And we wouldT advise our
much esteemed contemporary to do all
the blowing it can for its home market,
but donTt go outside to make compari"
sons that cannot be sustained with oth-
er markets or it might get the worst of
ik
The Reviecror bas not a word to
say against the Kinston market. We
like the town, we like the people over
thee. Weare glad chat the town has
a good tobacco market, and no one out-
side of its own citizens is more ready: to
rjoice over its success than we ave.

THE GREAT WHITE SCOURGE.
Yuberculosis and the Formidable. nomy
It Is to Mankind.
In order to sce how formidable an
enemy we have in tuberculosis let
us contrast. it with some other dis-
eases which are even more dreaded.
Leprosy is rare in most civilized
countries; even in Asia Minor it
causes less than 1 per cent of the
total death rate. Typhoid and sear-
let fevers are each held responsible
for 3 per cent; diphtheria and pneu-
monia.for 5 per cent each. The
deaths from consumption alone,
~hip joint disease, PottTs disease ~of
the spine, some forms of meningi.
tis, intestinal marasmus, caries of
bone and many abscesses, make up,
per cent of the total death rate of
this country. Itis estimated that
one-third of all deaths occurring in
the medical wards of hospitals are
due to tuberculosis, and that a fifth
of all surgical.cases treated"many
of which are cured"are tubercular.
We may bring these statistics
home by saying that you and I were
~porn with one chance in five of dy-
ing of some form of tuberculosis. If
our chance of being instantaneously
and decently killed by an electric
shock were 1 in 500, we would turn
the wheels of progress back 20 years
rather than allow an electric light
»r a trolley car to threaten our safe-
ty. No: pains and no expense are
thought :too great in maintaining a
quarantine against cholera, small- |
community is already vaccinated
against"diphtheria ; and the like.
Large appropriations are made
~that there may be trieda yet uu
oved defense against diphtheria,
Ci to the insidious enemy that
numbers its dead by hundreds
where these other open foes count
theirs by scores we are blind. Itis)
time thatthe veil should be drawn

plied to either sex. Asa proof
this we may mention that a writer
in The MonaTs Herald newspaper of
Jan, 34, 1844, in commenting on a;
famous witehcraft case which had
recently been adjudicated upon, re-
marked, ~~Aocording to popular be-
lief, if the witch swears he has not
done it and does not wish to do it,
he cannot witch again.TT Another
curious and novel idea is that it was
supposed to be possible to manufac-
ture a witch. The method of doing
so was given to our informant by an
aid man about the year 1875, who
gaid that he had it from the victim
herself, then an old woman. An old }
woman who had practiced witch-
craft and charms during a great
part of her life had grown very fee-
ble, and so, being wishful to endow
her daughter witi! 2imilar powers,
made her go through the following |
performance:
~~A white sheet was laid on the
floor, and beside it was placed a tub
of clean water. The girl was made
to undress and go into the water,
and after thoroughly washing her-
self to get out and wrap hersolf in
the sheet. While she stood in the
sheet she had to repeat after her
mother a number of words, the ex-
act nature of which, as she was in
an abject state of terror, she had
forgotten, only remembering that
their general purport was that she
swore to give up all belief in the Al.
mightyTs power and to trust in that
of the evil one instead. The old
woman died soon afterward, but the
girl made noattempt to practice the
attributes with which she was sup-
posed to have been endowed.�T
witched, it was customary, till quite
recently, to burn one of the herd,

usually a calf, both for the protec-
while the animal was being burned
he would be certain to appear cn the
spot, and if he could not get the ani-
malTs heart into his possession he
lost his power in the future. It was
believed that if cattle which died of
disease were buried one would ke
lost for each one so treated. Dust
was also efficacious in such cases.
Thus Train remarked that ~if a
person supposed to have the evileye
passed by a herd of cattle and one
of them were taken suddenly ill the
after him and take the dust from
his shoes if possible, or, if not, from
the ground he had just trodden, and
apply it to the sick beast, or oven if
an animal were taken ill without
any one endowed with the evil eye
having passed near it it would prob-
ably be cured by the dust from the
threshold of a person close by who
was notoriously a possessor of the
