LOCAL NOTES AND TOBACCO JOTTINGS. BY O. L. JOYNER. SRS There wil' be several more new prize houses built here during the summer. : Greenville is expecting to sell five millions pounds of tobacvo nextyear. The year just closed tle market sold between three ard four million. We hear the question frequent- ly asked if there is not too much tobacco planted. There is al- ways too much common made but the market has never been sup- plied with too much fine tobacco. The depositions taken in the case of the Bonsack Machine Co., and the American Tobacco Co., against W. F. Smith & Sons, of Winston N. C., bring out some very important facts to the east ern tobacco men. Some of the leading leaf dealers in their de- ositions estate that in eastern orth Carolina the finest cutters are grown and that the increase in the tobacco acreage is mainly in eastern North Carolina where brights are grown almost. ex- clusively. According to the ev- idence taken it was conclusively proven that cutters since 1890 have brought mure money or sold higher in proportion than any other grade of tobacco. Mr. H. J.Boss in his deposition says that cutters from 1880, sold for about the same amount of money as they have for the period since January 1890 that is the four best grades, whit wrappers he says are om 25 to 40 per cent. lower and fillers fally 50 per cent lower than A good many farmers from dif-- ferent sections of the State also made depositions and all of them say that cutters have held up in price better than any other grade and that they try to make the cut- ter grade heavier than any other because they think to get more money for it. As tothe price of tobacco from 1885 to 1890, we but very little, but since 890 wrappers haye been lower than they were that year. It is true quality has had a great deal .|to do with it.

There was both a head to and rear end collision out near the depot Thursday eveving. It oc- curred in this way: While wait- ing for the train Walter Pender and Zeb Highsmith were riding their wheels between the tracks down to the switch and back. Some colored children were at; play beside the track and one of these—a boy—began amusing himself by jumping across the track just in front of the wheelmen | as they came by. They rang their alarm bells for the boy to keep out of the way, but the boy jumped just the same. Once he made his jump most too late, and Pender’s front wheel giving bim a broad-sider sent the boy whiz- zing several feet away, the rider in the meantime turning a somer- sault over his wheel and lending square on top of the boy. They bad hardly got settled before Highsmith, who waza bringing up a close rear, butted into the pile and heaped “more weight on the miller,” by landing on top of Pen- der. When they all untangled both bicycles were found sonsid— erably bent, the front fork of — Pender’s being almost ruined. The riders had a good shaking up but fortunately neither of them was hurt. “ Cotton and Peanuts ° Below are Norfolk prices of cott and peanuts for yesterday, as furnis! by Cobb Bros. & Co., Commission M chants of Norfolk : COTTON.

All journalists are sristocrats; but, fortamately for those who have a living toearn, all aristocrats are not journalists, says an exchange. Of those who are Lady Colin Camp- bell, and Lady Violet Greville stand first among the members of the weaker sex. Lady Colin Campbell is now editing the Realm, and she is a another and patronize home folks. aa constant contributor to several other papers. Tamdy Violet 1s aiso well known a8 8 writer of periodical literature.. Her style is excellent. It is light and versatile and refined, aod her wide womanly sympathies and keen perceptive powers add to the charm of her work. Some of the English princesses write occasionaliy, although they only accept an honorarium for char- itable objects. Princess Christian bas done a good deal of journalistic work in her time, and always ina straightforward and sensible man- ner. The countess of Aberdeen occa- sionally writes on political and social subjects, and the countesses of Jer- sey, Munster and Mar all wield the pen ably. The duchess of Southerland isa really good short-story writer, and Lady Henry Somerset is a weekly cootributor to her own paper, the Woman's Signal. Lady Meath and the countess of Warwick have oecasionally written articles, and among other titled ladies who have taken up journalist work may be mentioned Lady Jeune, Hon. Emily Lawless, Lady Lindsay, and in France the duchess d’Uzes and countess de Martel. As a younger woman Lady Salis- bury did a great deal of writing for various papers and critical work for the Saturday Review, while the marchioness of Granby provides iustrations for certain favored periodicals. Glad to See Him Anyway. Sir Arthur Sullivan tells this story on himself in the Strand Musical Magazine: ‘‘Together with a party of friends, I was once traversing a rather uncivilized district in the state of California, when we stopped at a mining camp for some refreshments. The driver informed me that I was ex- pected there, and, feeling rather gratified to hear this, I made my way to the whisky store. Three or four fellows were lounging about, and one approached a big, sturdy man, who was standing near me, and said to him: ‘Are you Mr. Sullivan?’ vote for something | *P0O™s have been distributed among | The man shook his head, and pointed his finger in my direction. After ‘looking me up and down, the man ‘demanded: ‘What do you weigh?’ ‘About one hundred and sixty-two pounds,’ was my reply. ‘Pooh!’ said my interrogator, ‘that’s a queer start. Do you mean to tell me you gave J. Blackman fics in Kansas City?’ ‘Certainly not,’ I answered. ‘Well, who are you, anyway?’ I an- swered my name was Sullivan. Quite disappointed, be said: ‘Ob, ain't you John L. Sullivan the slugger?’ ‘No, I am only Arthur Sullivan,’I re- plied. ‘What! he said, with evi- dent surprise, ‘are you the man as put “Pinafore” together?’ 1 said ‘yes,’ and smiled at him. ‘Well, I never,’ be answered; ‘but I’m glad to meet you, anyway. Come and take a drink with us.’” As in a Story Book. The dowager empress of China has . had @ romantic bis She was an extremely beautifu girl, the daughter of poor parents who lived in the suburbs of Canton. When the family was starving she, know- ing hercommercial value, persuaded her parents to sell her as a siave. She was purchased by a renowned general, who, delighted with her beauty, disposition and general clev- erness, adopted and educated her as his daughter. When later the gen- eral was summoned to Peking, he could think of no finer gift to offer his sovereign than his daughter. The emperor found her so charming that he made her his wife. When her husband died, in 1881, this slave- empress became regent, the present emperor being only seven years old. She found Chinacrippled by debt and torn by internal rebellions, yet five years ago, when she handed over the governing power to her son, peace and prosperity reigned throughout the vast empire.—Chicago Tribune. A MODERN ADAM. He Is a Native of the Western Des- erts. Up in Bear valey, two summers ago. I came across a camp where a thin, bearded, bronzed man of about thirty was cutting wood before a smal) ‘‘A” tent. In the tent were many scientific works, tneluding a set of Encyclopedia Britannica. Engaging him in conversation I found he was a prospector who had come in from the desert to let his burros rest and fatten on the grass. He had come down from Pahrumph valley across the burning desert in the hottest part of the summer. ‘I stopped ut Vanderbilt,” said he, “‘and made several locations, one of which I think will prove valuable, but I got tired and moved on, and am nowon my way toward southern Arizona.” I asked him how he liked the des- ert, and he replied that he liked it better than any other place. ‘‘See,”’ said he as he flung open the front of his shirt, ‘‘I wear uo clothing when on the desert.” His breast was deep copper color, even to his armpits, and fully bore out his statement. His conversation proclaimed him to be an educated man, and he said his books were a partof his camp outfit and accom- panied him wherever he went. He volunteered no other information regarding himseif and his bearing was Such as to preclude any ques- tioniog, but I have often wondered what could have caused him to choose such a mode of life.

His duties keep him busy all night long at the flag and the gates.- Then when he is asleep by day his sweetheart, a neigbbor’s rosy-cheeked daughter, is away from home at work. His predicament has worried him. If he should neglect his post for even a quarter of an hour during an even- ing tocall at the home of his charmer the gates would be left up, and some wayfarer might be killed by a wild- cat locomotive at the crossing. So Mr. Flagman the other night evolved and entertained a happy thought. There is a vacant house with an amply-shaded veranda only twenty feet from his crossing. Upon this porch he placed an easy chair from the parlorathome. The sweetheart was covertly informed that the chair was there and that it would certain- ly be vacant from eight to nine night- ly unless she should consent to fill it, and that it was big enough for two. The chair is now fully occu- pied each evening; the lovemaking is not neglected, and yet all the trains and wildcats and wayfarers are properly watched and flagged.— Philadelphia Record. is Ignorance Bliss? There is a delusion that, with most M.| men, ignorance is woman’s greatest charm. A man may not like his wife or his sister to display more knowl- edge than he himself has, but every man does like intellectual sympathy. The most conservative man’s ideal of woman requires above all that she be charming; that she should please, and there is something absurd in the notion that education will interfere with this ideal. Buta girl’s educa- tion is not thrown away, if she should choose to quietly settle down after graduation to be the guide of a home circle. She may be a greater benefactor than one who becomes famous through scientific discovery. The study and practical care of the the needs and comforts of a home; and the education of children is the highest and grandest opportunity yet afforded to woman. The world may take care of itself, but the home cannot. Let the girl grow naturally, as we do the boy, and give her the benefit of the broadening influence ex! of public spirit and responsibility. ¢ Let her have a share in all these 8 | widening circles of duty in the home, and then she will be meeting the highest type of womanhood, compe- Ri tent to meet any demands that may be made upon her.—Philadelphia A Good Scheme.
