TOBACCO ACREAGE AND CONDI-
TION..
tae TESS
Leiters from Prominent Farmers Con-
cerning the 1897 Crop.
BY QO. L. JOYNER.
Flattering and overestimated tobac:
co crop reports, its enormity and atove
a hundred condition, not based alto-
gether on facts and circulated in many
instances without a strict regard for
truth, told for the purpose of increasing
and inducing business and booming
oneTs particular town or locality, has in
many instances during recent yeurs
acted as a boomerang to the reporters
and their section,
The writer has coatended all along
that exaggerated reports of the number
of pounds of tobacco sold on any par-
ticular market burt the patrons ot that
market more then the boom and boast
did good in drawing capital and in-
creasing trade. With this in view,
uhen, we have especially insisted that
the eastern markets make proper and
accurate reports of the business done,
so as not to form an exaggerated idea
of our eastern crop.
During the last few years, the eyes
of the tobacco trade have been turned
to the markets of eastern North Caro-
lina, From them the trade gets its
finest wreppers, most silky cutrers und
smoothest strips. Then how important
it is that the trade should be properly
informed as to what they can get from
this, by far the most important bright
tohacco section in the South. Over
estimated crop reports of the acreage
and its condition anyone can easily see
has the tendency to seriously effect the
price of the crop. A reporter cannot
interview two or three farmers who
have above acreage crops and then
publish to the trade that there is the
finest crop in eastern Carolina that ever
grew out of the soil. Such as this is
not only untrue but really and seriously
damaging io the farmers and to the
trade.
Realizing that there was a consider-
reduction in the acreage in the east the
writer determined to get as near ap
accurate report of the acreage and its
ccndition as poss:ble, so I wrote to
several. representive farmers in. Pitt,
Greene, Ler.oir, and Edgecombe coun-
ties and asked them to write me, as
iiearly as they could judge, just what
the acreage was this year as compared
with last, also the condition ot the crop
as compared with the same period one
yeur ages ~
A few have answered and their re-
porta-are published herewith. As tast
as we get others will publish them, and
we trust that everyone to whom we
wrote will answer ct their first conver"

Dear Srr:"Your letter Ist inst,

age comparison with one year ago re-

~I'he condition of the crop has im-
proved wonderfully in the past week
in consequence of the recent rains, but
the rains came too lateto save a good
many oops.
There are belts in the territory
which we are familiar with that have
kad no rain to do any good in four or
five weeks and these crops are acting
badly. We do not think the condition
of the tobacco crop is more that 70 per
cent compared with last year even
dates. Tie acreage has been reduced
in our section fully 333 per cent.

In Memoriam.
Mrs. Elizabe.h Adiaide Tatt, born
Oct. 22nd, 1848, married to Allen Hal-
stead Taft, Nov.21s¢,1866 died at Green
ville, N. C., July Ist, 1897.
Five children survive her; to them
she leaves the record of a lite well spent
in the service of the Kiag. For many
years she was a taithful member of the
Methodist charch and until disease had
wastea her physical strength a constant
attendant upn its altars,
On the evening of June 30th,
was with her children around the sup-
per table, and then retired to her own
room. When the morning dawned and
they went to call her, there was no
response. In the silence of the mid-
aight hour the angel had come and
loosed her bonds and without a struggle
the spirit had fled the earthly house
and entered into Rest.
Far, far away, like belis at evening
pealing.
The voice of Jesus sounds oTer land and
sea;
And laden souls by thousands meekly
stealing,
Kiad Shepherd, turn their weary steps
to thee.
Augels of Jesus, angels of light,
Singing to welc.me the pilgrims of the
night.

Died from a Snake Bite.
On Tuesday morning while Milrer
Revis, who lives about 8 niles east of
Hendersonville, was cradling rye, ~is
son, Burton, eged 15, was following
him, binding. The father cut over
where a large rattlesnake was lying,
and when the son came to bind the
grain the snake sunk its fangs into
hia. It was between 7 and 8 o'clock.
Whiskey was given the boy, but only
a pint was at hand, and a messenger
was sentfor Dr. Eagerton, who ar-
rive about 3 o'clock. When the
doctor got there the boy was uncon-
scious, and died about 5 oTclock."

Thuosands of French silver five-
franc pieces annually disappear from
circulation. This according to an
official announcement just made by the
French government, is due to a queer
belief. When the great Emperor
Napvleon first put these coins into
circulation it was difficuit to induce
reople io adopt them. Accordingly,
he caused a story to be circulated to
tha effect that one of the coins con-
cealed 1n its interior a check for $20,.
000 written on asbestos paper, and
directing the bank of France to pay
the finder the money ail in five"franc
silver pieces. It is in the hope of
discovering this mythical check that so
many thousand of five franc piéces are
broken in half ievery year.
The proprietor of a large New York
dry goods store says: oThe women
are the buyers, and I belieye that most
~of them care more for the sdvertise"
ments than for the news.� It would
be nearer the mark to say that many
ot them look on the advertisements as
news"as a good advertisement al-
ways is.
