TOBACCO ACREAGE AND CONDI-
TION.
Leiters from Prominent Farmers Con-
cerning the 1897 Crop. T
BY O. L, JOYNER.
Below will be tound additional let-
ters bearing on the tobacco crop ard
acreage.
WiLLow Green, N. C., July 6, T97.
OQ. L. Jorner, Esq.,
Greenville, N.C.
Dear Sia; "Yours received. I think
it a good idea, Fheré is a decrease in
the acreage in this section of at least
25 percent if not more. .Drouith has
damaged the vrop at least 3) per cent;
in some sectiors of the county the
damage by drouth is at least 50 per
cent. I was in Snow Hill Monday and
saw farmers from all parts ct the coun
ty and they all agree that the tubacco
crop is very poor. Should the rains
set in now Tam of the opinion that
there wuld be but little change in some
of the tobacco crops in ths county. I
~heard a yery prominent farmer say the
rain could not do his crop any good
now, it was too far gone.
Taking the ercp as a whole in my
county itis very poor. 1 donTt think
I should miss it far were I to say there
will not be over half a crop made in this
county. During the month of June
we had but very little rain. Some of
the farmers commenced priming last
week. It canTt be ripe, it is just parched
up from the drouth,
F. T. Carr,
OrmcnpsviLe, N. C., July 7, 97
Mr. O. L. JOYNER,
Greenville, N. C.
Deak Sir:"Replying tc your in-
quiry of July Ist, as to the reduction
in the acreage and the condition of the
tobacco crop in our section as compared
with last year of this date: We wiil
have to say that the comparison is s0
wide that it may seem incredible. We
think the decrease must be as much as
20 per cent. and the~ condition is, tar
below last year, as much ia our opinion
as 33 per cent and seme cages: 00 per
cent caused by the continued cool
jextreme dryness, causing premaiure
growth and forcing the plant to the
barns without life or size to the leei,
and if rain does not come soon it will
be hard to tell what the result will be.
TurnaGe & GRMOND.
Farmvitze, N. C., July 8th, T97,
O. L. Joyner, Esq.,
Greenville, N. C.
Dear Sir:"Your letter of a, fow
days ago to hand and I woula have an-
swered sooner but have been makin
some inquiries among the furm rs so as
t enable me to better answer your
question. In reply would state that
the, acreage in (0 tobavcy is dully., 20 per
~cent ghort from last, year, . while the
condition of present crop could ~not
possibly be less than 25 it not 83}
short of last year, owning perhaps to
the late cold spring and the recent
drought, and I might add that if we
have no rain soon the tobacco will sui-
ter all the more tor itisa crop that
improves fust or fails fast according to
the seasons. ~There are several barns
where the furnace fires. will nut be
lighted at all this year aud without
better prices than we've had the past
two years there will be many more
unused in the years to come.

HE ALIGNMENT WILL RESULT.
It seems to be understood that
the influence which called and
dominated the Populist confer-
~ence which has been in session
at Nashviile, Tenn. this week,
will contrel the next Populiet
national convention. This con-
ference minimized the importance
ofthe silyer question, and showed
the long-time Populist friendli-
ness for the issue of large quan-
ties of irredeemable paper money
It declared also for the oinitia
tive and referendum� and the
oimperative mandate, T and
against fusion with any otLer
party:
It has allthe while been char-
acieriatic of the leaders of the
Populist party that whenever
they thought they were wbovt to
get what they were clamoring for
they suddenty discovered that
they didnTt wantthat but some-
thing else. They haye brought
the Democratic party to its knees
on the silver question, and urless
there is a radical recovery from
the present condition of popular
discontent, the free silyer prop-
osition will prevail in the e:ection
of 1900. Now the Populist lead-
ers do not want. anything that
can be bad. LPhey flourish by
stirring up the people and
exciting their hopes of impossible |
things. Hence we have occasion:
ally tound them saying that free
silver is only one of our reforms
"as much asto suggest that it
was a very small one at that; anu
now this Nashville conference
has practically relegated it to the
This conference and the at-
titude taken upon the coinage
question, will, itis not unlikely,
exercise a far reaching influence
vpon the future of the Populist
party, and perhaps upon the
future of politica in the country
at large. There are a great
many honest Populists who be-
lieve in free silver with all their
hearts, and thes3, seeing them-
gelyes separated from those of
their brethren of whom the
Nashville conference was repre-
sentatiye, must in reason connect
themselves with the Democratic
party. They sould expect bat
little from a unitea Populist
party, sofeeble was it at best.
With the party split in two no
hope of its accomplishing any-
thing whatever caa be entertained
The free silver Democratic party |
may therefcre. reasonably. loox

Popuiiets who really want free
silver, and slong with these will

who want to get back anyway"

Lt Violates the Constitucion.
Will you kindly publish in
your columns the following cril-
cism on the Act to encourage
local {axation for public Schools�
chapter 421 of the 1897, and is
on page 605 of said acts as pub-
lished.
The preamble reads as follows:
oWhereas, This General As--
sembly has, by raising the rate of
school tax from 18 to 20 cents
already provided an increase of
$50,000 to the , common schoo!
fund of the State.
oNow as the Supseme Court
has decidea that section 3 of the
Ravenue Act, which raised the
school tax from 18 to 20 cents
was unconstitutionnl aud void,
this preamble becomes an 1ncor-
rect statement of fact and falls to
the ground.
o2, The money to pay the $500
bonus cannot constitutionally be
taken from the general fund,
because the constitution in ex-
press terme forbids it. Section
7, Article 5, says every act of the
General Assembly levying a tux
shall state the special object to
which it is to be applied, and it
shall be applied to NO OTHER
PURPOSE.
3. oIt cannot come ;trom the
funds of the State Board of
Education, for chapter 12 of the
Acts of 1897 appropriates that
fond in amounts ot $50, $75 and
$100 to such rural districts as
may vote to tax themselves.
oThere ie, therefore, no pos~
sibility that the townships voting
this tax can receive the %900.
They may get $50, $75 or $100"
"vuhder chapter 127"but no
more.
oLet the canvassers state plain
facts to the people.
As education ia the topic 1
venture two suggestions. Lei
the State Board of Examiners
require a kuowiedge of the
fundemental principles of the
Constitution trom all applicants
for State certificates as teachere.
2. That the principles of each
and every school receiving aid
from the State be required to
teach the Constitution at some
stage of the curiculum.
It is our only hope in the future.

Ola Time Sunday Melon Sales.
oA man would hardly imagine
that negroes used to crowd
around that elegant church and
sell watermellons on Sunday,�
said H. T. Powell, the well known
banker, yesterday. He referred
to Mulberry Street Methodist
church, one of the finest church
buildings in Macon. oBut itTs a
fact,� continaed Mr. Powell. oI'm
not ap o1d man [and overybody
in the crowd looked with ad-
miration at his tail, erect figure],
bat I can remember those scones
as well as if they were yesterday.
oTtwas before the war, when
all the slave-owners allowed their
industrious slaves an acre or so
of land on which to raise water-
meloné or anything they ~chose.
The negroes were given every
Saturday afternoon to tend their
melon patches, and on Sundays
were allowed to hitch a mule to}
a wagon and take their melons
and other produce around to
churches, cainp meetings, or else-
very common thing to see a man
stop at a negroTs watermelon pile
whether. it sae sell them. It was a
| will be the same: REY Chicago
~| Democracy is strengthened by
now so much discussed. lt is!
select a melon, pay for it, put it in
his buggy and drive home after
church; and indeed children
melons from the slaves and eat
them during the time between
Sunday school and preachirg.
oIn those days masters took
great interest in the industry and
enterprise of their slaves, and did
everything they could to encoui~
agethem. obody ever thought
| of objecting to or interfering wiih
~the negroes in their Sunday tra!-

A Bt Louis dispatch, telling
of SundayTs heat in that city,
says that ~one man could not
endure it, and hanged himself in
a cool cellar. Another slept by
a window, dreamed he was a diver
and plunged three stories, Still
another man walked into the
river and fougnt when he was
fished out as a supposed suicide.�
The poor devils! We, in this
kindly climate, think we suffer
from heat in such weather as the
past week has brought us, but the
dwellers in the cities can giye us
points. Think, fo: instance, of
life last night in a New York
tenement !"Charlotte Observer.
