From May letto July ist I donTt
think we have had such a year so far
as raingsare concerned since we bave
been growing tobacco Eastern
Carolina. We had no general rains
but every few days we could hear of
local showers in different sections,
sometimes giving one man a pretty
good season and missing the adjcining
tarms entirely. This seems to have
been the extent of the rain fall through-
out Eastern North Carolina fiom May
Ist toJuly Ist, and in some sections
there was scarcely any rain at all and
as a matter of course crops there will
in
| necessarily be very poor,
These local_showers by no means
afforded suificient rain for tue crops
even where they fell most abundantly
and the result was on July Ist the
tubacce crops of Pitt and the agjoining
counties presented a very poor appear"
ance and in fact 1 some sections where
the rain fal! had been small it did not
look like more than half a crop would
be made bus the rains came and the
improvement in the crop haa simply
been wonderful while the acreage us a
matter of course is cut off according to
what we have.seen and from what. we
can gather from the most reliable
| sources at least 2) per cent.

to leern the cause she saw the house
cat and a large strange cat fighting.
The eats found the floor too small for
them and mounted the wash stand, bu-

und as to the nois*, anyone who ever
heard a cat fight can imagine what it
was,
The lady covered up her head and
tried to raise her voice above the din

household were aroused and went to
her room to see what the trouble was,
When they went in to make war on
the disturbers the house cat took ad-
vantage of an opportunity to jump out
the window and the strange cat touk

portion of the family armed with tongs,

Dr. W. L. Rider one week ago
last night, is shown by the fact
that, according to their wishes,
the body will not rest in a Talbot

~ discovery on Sundav that be had
been buried in a casket purchas"
ed at Taibottcn, the seat of ~Tal-
bot county. She had the coftin
taken up and the remains re-
moved to a coffin obtained in this
city and the old one returned to
the undertakers at Talbotton.
The coffin was accompanied by
a note from Mrs. McArthur, ex-
pressing her regrets for the ir-
convenier ce caused, but declari: ¢
that she could not permit her
brother's remains to repose in a
casket coming from thé county
whose citizens had mardered
him. The undertaker refused to
_ppecept it, saying the purchase
had been authorized by the two
Ryder brotiers and he will enter
suit to recover damages. The

Tie Greenville tobacco
atarted the new season with a gocd
break,-marked by the old time break
and activity. With the uucevtainty
of how priccs would be at the opening,
the busy time among the farmers, and
the dry weather, not much totacco
wus looked for on the first day. How-
ever, there was enough here for a live"
ly sale of nearly three hours, there
being from 5,000 to 7,000 pounds in
each cf the tour warehouses. Prices
awwarket
were very much higher than at the
opening a year ago end only satistac"
tion was heard among the seliers.
Che first sala was at the Greenville
Warvhouse where oParson� Evans
run the sales with his accustomed vig r.
People wonder how a little fellow like
L ontalks so much, but h» does it
ali the same and donTt fail to be heard
from. He pulled prices up to $20 and
$20.50 and says just watch bim,
The second sale was at the Star
where C. D. Rountree und Wiley
Brown both run sales and kept the
auctioneer watching lively for winks
as he sings the climbing bids. Wiley
said they just had enough tu g.t him
hot good and tune hiin for hollering.
Their prices reached $15.25,
The Planters had third sale and Ola
Forbes didnTt give the grass a chance
to grow around prices. His father
helved him run the sale, und it was
firat and second fiddle going all the
time. oThatTs just a sumple of what
I can do,� said Ola us his highest pile
was knocked «ff at $20. :
The Ea:t rn c'oset with the fourth
sule, *O'd Man Gus� and Olthus
Joyner showed iLey were in for Lusi-
luese us wu. xe ever and both right at
pome runnlu, the sale. O.thus started

to give his lungs room, We promised
not to tell about him splitting his shirt
when the top pilé struck $23.50.
