LOCAL NOTES AND TOBACCO JOTTINGS BY O. L. JOYNER. Tobacco curing is now getting in full blast. A good many Granville county curers have already come in and more are expected soon. The South Carolina markets are making strenuous efforts this year to sell most of the crop grown in the Stace. For the last month seasous and crops too haye somewhat re- minded one of the year 1890. May it continue so until our crops are in the house. The Greenville tobacco market will be ready for the sale of the new crop August Ist, but we will here say tothe farmers that if you have good tobacco you better to hold it fora while at least till the excessive hot weather has passed, Several bundles of new tobacecu have been. exhibited on the streets kere. The tobacco as a matter of course, shows up very thin and papery but it has good color. These curings are prin- cipally plant bed leaves primed off and cured. Passing through his tobacco field, last Tuesday with Mr. J. W. Hodges, he called our attention to One row of tobacco in the middie of the field, that was at least by an actual count of the leaves one third smaller than the it will pay} ! surrounding tobacco. He sa.d that it was all manured just alike! ‘aud that no attention would ever 1t | net been for the fact that there! have been given the row had was a difference cfopinion as to ‘the best mode of starting the cul { tivation of the tobacco, tended that the turn plow shoula: be used in throwing dirt frow'! vhe tobacdo while Mr. Hodges) tv use the first time the tubacco! was.worked. So under the dif-| fereuce of cpinion they decided to use the harrow on ali except One row through the midd'sv ot the tieid- This row was barred off with aturn plow and worked afterwards just like the other to— bacco. Mr. Hodyes says it has nad the same mode of management other has had and yet it is one third smaller clear through the field thanthe other rows. These two modes of cultivating tobacco the first time are emp'oyed by very near all of our people and each One ig used just about as much as the other, hence the 1m- portance of ascertaing the better wethod of the two. It may have been the condition of the soil that favored the harrow. At any rate we hope that our farmers will look afver this matter next spring and give the ‘two. sys- tems, as Mr. Hodges hus done ap imp®@rtial test. Colt ina Well. Mr. John A. Fleming, of this county, came yery near being a horse out last week, because he had a horse in--a well. A _ colt two and one-half years ola fell in a well 23 feet deep and was got out again without any - broken bones. It was a well used to fur nish water to run his engine and. islarger than the average well and not rocked up, or his coltship might have fared worse. The well was covered over with plank which had become rotten. The colt stepped upon the plank and 7 contended that the cuiton king or | Narrow Was the best impliment | i i ; | One con-| i | a | Cultivation and ag : that the) - HANK WILSON J LE Commencing OAT.

Seeing that the colt was not drowned or his neck broke efforts were made to get him out. This was done after a time by means of fastening ropes drawing him up by means ofa windlass. He fell back, wken about half way to the top, two or three times, the rope slipping so as to cause him to lose his bal- ance, but he appeared to be none the worse fur this when he did fi- nally reach the top again. Mr. Fleming says there was consider-— able waterin the well and the colt kept from drowning by stand ing on his hind feet and putting his front oues on the side of the well. And then the water reached to his neck he barely being able to keep his head out of it. Mr. Fleming tells us that two or three small scars about the colt’s legs and one slight cut on the head arethe only marks to tell ot the unusual experience he went through. Bat he says it was the worst scared animal he ever saw.—Henderson Gold Leaf. * and chains around his body and’ ail — Greenville Market. Jorrected by S.

EVERY APTERNOON (EXCEPT SUNDAY) emer SSS aS a ee ——— SS “In the Massey-Pilot libel suit = now being tried at Norfolk Mr. Massey was kept on the stand five or six days, and passed through a wonderfully rigid ex- amination at the hands of Capt. Wise It was flint against flint ana sometimes the sparks would fly. Wednesday wasa good day forthe plaintiff, Ex-Goveruor McKinney was on ithe stand. He said he had measured Mr. Massey upand down and ati around and does not hesitate to say that he world trust him ; that he is alright, and ought to be believed ; that his character was good and that he had nev-~ er heard any thoughtful person say to the contrary. Governor O’ Ferrall, Ex-Guvernor Came- ron and Attorney~General Scott will next be on the stand. Counsel for Mr. Massey suc- ceoicd in positively refuting the charges made by defendants - in reference to Mr. Massey wri~ ting a willso that the proper- ty went to him, and the charge that he had offered to secure a wife for some one, if paid. There is no telling wh2n the case will be finished. ——$—$_— The papers at several points in Kastern North Carolina in the sections where tobacco growing has become successful note the building of warehouses, or ad ditions to the number where some had already been built, and prize houses also. Warehouses _ and prizeries are both good and w necessary, but -if our - friends want to » growing full ercouragement to Eastern give tobacco expand and to become a perman- ent, and alsoa profitable indus- _try they will not confine them- - gelves to the building of ware- - houses and prizeries, but will build factories for the manufac ture of tobacco, so asto create a home market and more com petition by bidders than can be expected when the leaf is in de- mand only for shipment and the bidders few in number. Growers |mMay get good prices now in the towns where they market their leaf, and we take it fer granted that they do asthe area of calti- vation is expanding, but they would get better prices and have more reliable markets, with few- er flact uations, if tnere were home manufactories to consume the crops raised. There are _ per- haps fifty factories in Winston, some of them very large ones, which consume nearly all the to. bacco grown within 4% consider- able} radius ot that town. The factories would not only help the tobacco growers, but would bring in much meney and add much to the wealth of the towns in which they were tocated—Wiimington Star. a —- Baltimore is nearly all agog preparing for the International Convention of the Baptist Young Peoples Union.

If you have no regular employment take ‘up some study and read good healthy books, but do not loaf about the streets in the company of idle, shiftless and vicious com- panions. There are more boys ruined by evil associates than through inherited criminality.

St THE UNEXPECTED. A Cat in a Basket and Her Three Kittens. A stout old lady with a red face and a big market basket on her arm boarded a crowded Girard avenue car yesterday afternoon, and taking the only vacaat seat, deposited her’ basket in front of her. In afew minutes strange sounds began emerging from the basket and the stout old lady showed visible signs of embarrassment. The racket con- tinued, and finally she tried to quiet the cat—for such it was—by speak- ing toit. Her efforts were futile, though, and an old gentleman sitting next to her thought she had better take off the lid and see what was the trouble; maybe it was caught in some manner. Gallantly dropping on one knee the old gentleman raised the lid slightly and peeped inside. He took one look. His face grew red and silently replacing the lid he walked to the platform and jumped off without waiting for the car to stop. This peculiar action aroused the curiosity of the rest of the passen- gers, while the owner of the basket appeared to be greatly mystified. By this time the noise had ceased, but fully determined to investigate her- self the old lady tore the lid of the basket completely off. Horrors! Instead of one cat there were four, three being sleek little kittens, all scrambling around with their eyes shut. The passengers were all crowding around now to get a look at the new family. But the stout old lady did not seem to relish her position and signaled the conductor to stop at the next crossing. —Phila- delphia Record. Unable to Oblige. ‘*Excuse me, sir,” said the man in the row behind, ‘‘but would you mind asking your wife to remove her hat? I assure you that I cannot see a@ thing on the stage.” ‘“‘T’d like to oblige you, sir, but it is impossible,” said the man ad- dressed. ‘‘We live out of town and we must get home to-night.” ‘“What has that got to do with it?” ‘“‘What has that got to do with it? Why, our train goes twenty minutes after the end of the performance, and it takes her an hour to put that hat on.” ~——Harper’s Bazar. ‘Qualified.
