BY 0. L. JOYNER. There are several gentlemen who anticipate coming to Greenville next year to buy tobacco and they will want piize houses. If the citizens of Green- ville, that is the merchants and business men, had extended the same spirit of of co-operation to the tobacco men when they first came to Greenville to es tablish a tobacco market that Kinston is now offering the promoters. of the tobacco market there, Greenville last year would have sold seven and a half milion pounds. There is a good deal of inquiry being made just now as to the probable acre- age at will be planted in tobacco in Eastern North Carolina this year as one can tell how much the increase will be. Tbat will depend largely upon several conditions. First, if cotton con- tinues at a fair price antil the planting season, the probability is there will be an increased acreage in cotton and hence a corresponding decrease in the acreage in tobacco. Ifthe price of tobacco on an averaze last year had compared fa- vorably with the year previvus then I do not believe that many farmers would have decreased their crops, but as many of them contend that their, tobacco did not sell for as much this year as it cid last, there are numbers who will cur- tail considerably and the important idea in this decrease is this. ‘The decrease will be made principaliy by the larger farmers who have been planting trom M Starkey 46 10, Jas Elks 19 65, B F Gwaltney 2 00,C P Gaskins 1 00, B D Beach 1 00, F W Brown 11 00, F ‘TW Brown 2450, Greenville Lumber Co 88 22, C Dawson 3 00, L Fleming 1475,T E Keel 970, S M Jones 320, J L Smith 2 80, W M King 72 15.

This of course embraces the old tobacco section of the east where they have been planting it for several years, while in the new dis- tricts. there will of course be an increase. But taken on the whole it can be read ily seen that the decrease in one crop will amount to more than the increase in 4 dozen, hence I repeat from the infor- mation at hand, I do not believe the increase will be very much if any. Then again a large acreage will depend somewhat upon the condition of the plants at setting season, I know of a number of farmers who while they have prepared their land tor tobacco, yet in the event that they cannot get thrifty vigorous plants to sit im due season will plant their land in corn. On. the whole, I do not think our farmers are over enthusiastic over the prospects of the tobacco crop and it they will only assume the same attitude toward cotton next fall they will all be better off. I am not disposed to believe the reports age will be doubled because there are new barns going up on the farms.. In a great many instances the old barns have played out and the new ones are to replace them. One ofthe Pioneers.

Botton, Dickins & Co. “Memphis, May 21, 1851.” | = N, O. Picayune, IN THE DE! DEEP. SEA. A Noted Writer Tells of the Forms of Life Found There. I read the other day something that I thought would interest so great a sea bather as yourself, You know that the fishes that we see and eatch. go only a certain way down into the sea, Belowa certain depth there is no lifeatall. The water is as empty as the air is above a certain height, Even the shélls of dead fishes that come down there are crushed into nothing by the huge weight of the water. Lower still, in the places where the sea is profoundly deep, it appears that live begins again. People fish up in credging buckets loose rags “and tat- ters of creatures that hang together all right down there with the great weight holding them in one, but come all to pieces as they are hauled up. Just what they look like, just what they do or feed upon, we shall never find out. Only that we have some flimsy fellow- creatures down in the very bottom 0! the deep seas, and cannot get them up _| except in tatters. It must be pretty dark where they live, and there are no plabts or weeds and no fish come down therejor drowne:! sailors either, from the upper parts, be- cause these are all mashed to pieces by the great- weight long before they get so far, or else come to a place where perhaps they float, But1 daresay 4 eannon sometimes comés carcering sol- emnly down, and circling about likea dead leaf or thistledown; and then the ragged fellows go and play about the ¢annons and tell themselves all kinds of stories about the fish higher up and their iron houses ahd perhaps go inside and #leep, and perhaps dream of it all like their betters. - j Of course’ you know a cannon down there would be ‘quite light. (Even in allow water, where men go down with a diving-dress, they grow so light that they have to hang weights’ about their necks, and have their boots load- ed with 20 pounds of lead—ags 1 know.) to my sorrow. And with al t the helinet, which | heary of itself to anyone up here in the thin air, they are carried about like gossa- ners, and have to take every kind of care not to be upset and stood upon their heads, I went down once in the dress, end speak from experience, But ’ va » | if we could get down for a moment “On Fittn. a near|Five Pan ha “aan eet a A _| its. wall st pensable an article in etery household as saltand pepper. Nothing will so suc- cessfully soften hard water as borax. Use it in the proportion of a large hand- ful to ten gallons of watér.. The texture of the finest linen and cotton will not be injured by its use. Stains upon tableeloths and napkins can be readily washed out if borax is put in the water. A little borax water boiled in the coffee pot twice a week for 15 minutes sweet- ens and purifies it. To cleanse window glass simply use warm water and borax, no soap. Wipe dry and polish with crumpled newspapers. For the shampoo use one teaspoonful to two quarts of warm water. It acts directly on the scalp, keeping it in a healthy condition. Asa dentrifice and mouth wash borax is unexcelled. It cleanses the mouth, hardens the gums and relieves cankers. On using it for the teeth make a powder of one ounce cach of powdered borax and pulverized castile soap and two ounces of precrpi- tated chalk. Bags made of cheese cloth, about eight inches square, filled with catmeal, some powdered borax, and 2 little powdered orris root and used in the bath are delightfully refreshirg. A box of powdered borax is indispensa- ble at the toilet table and as a disin- feetant, will prove a valuable aid in procuring cleanliness at the kitchen sink. And if it were more frequently used a great amount of waste might be prevented in the larder. ~ GREENVILLE Male Academy. ‘The next stasion of this Schoo! wit!
