Mr. Watson, of Pemberton & Penn, Dauville, Va., spending a few days on this mar- ket. He says this 1s the first year his company has placed any o:- ders outside of Danville. Of course he left some business here. A few days ago while in con- versation with a leading tobucco- uist of this State, he asked us why 1c was that our people did not put ina bid for stemmeries here? Said he, ‘“‘you have the tinest oveulng here for astemmery of any eastern tobucco market, and if your people willshow up the udyantages that nature has given you over all the other tobacco markets in the east, you wil! have no trouble in getting capitalisis come here and establisn f: cto- ries.” He asked if we had a board of trade, and if our business men seemed totake any interest iu trviny to induce others tuo our town. We answered as dest we could, that our people did ail they eould in their individual capacity but that unfortunately we had no regularly organized board. “ Well” said he, “your town is tou nealthy aud thriying, you have too much ofa reputation abrvad. People are making too many inquiries _ about your town to alluw this ulways extends | hus been! istate of affairs to continue.

EVERY AFTERNOON (EXCEPT SUNDAY) = In some’ sections there are men of enterprise who would make a fortune out of it if they had a chance at the fruit going to waste in North Caroiina this season. Whata short sighted people we are! not to be hav-~ ing canning factories and util- izing the abundance that Provi dence has placed at our doors. By the way, we may lay many things at the door of the Negro, but we should not overlook the service he has done as a bulwark against immigration. Negro la-— bor has‘kept out alien labor, has kept out discontent and strikes and anarchy. If we will educate the Negro properly, teaching him his sta: tion, pointing him to wholesome ideals and arousing worthy am bitions, he will continue to be the safeguard in lower laboring cir cles in the South. And we ought to stand by him in the competi- tion that Italians, Irish, Poles, etc., etc., will bring upon him, be- cause he is better suited to our climate, able to do more work, more tractable, and possessed of inore of the spirit of our institu tions than they. Take the Negro out of the hands: of designing politicians and he is more desira- ble thar any alien of the lower grade. Education will do this; education and proper but firm and uncompromising treatment. Biblical Recorder. “IT don’t believe” writes Bill Arp, “that the ladies lace as much as they used to.

A tiny boy, with a white, eager face and large brow, at once held up his hand. “Please sir, wry was Adam never a baby?” The superintendent coughed in some doubt as to what answer to give, but a little girl of nine, the eldest of several brothers and sisters, came promptly to his aid. “There was aobody to nuss him!” The New Orleans Picayune thinks a theological seminary would have turned that over for a week, with no better result. eee Wilbon Cailders, just over the line in Alexander, comes out with a rattlesnake that’s hard to beat, says the Wilkesboro Chron- icle.
