The boys of the Rifles are very much grieved over the loss of their flag.

While the Meck- lenburg declaratiton ai.tedated that of April 12th, ’76, it was local as to its representation and cannot be accredited to the Colony at large. SS Not Up to the Old Lady’s Standard.

What’s the idea of wetting it?” Z The cigar store man by this time had the pipe under the water faucet and was driving water through it at a great rate. . “I learned that from a pipe manufac- turer. This first wetting, makes a briar pipe last twice as long as it would other- wise. The reason is that the wood is very dry. his pipe here has been in the store six months—maybe a year. It was very dry when we we got it, and of course it’s drier now. Well, it stands to reason that when fire is applied to the wood the pipe will char quickly and once it begins it burns through in a short time. Nowa good soaking like I’m giving this pipe dampens the wood. The wood absorbs a great deal of water and it won’t burn so easily. After four pipefuls of tovacco have been smoked there is very little danger of the pipe burning except the moment it is being Always remember to light your tobacco and not your pipe.” The cigar store man let the pipe sock for four or five minutes, wiped it out and handed it to the customer.—U. § Tobacco Journal. op and Think! * I am at the same old stand with an excellent stock of OHOLERTES which are offered at low figures.

The tobacco grower who pro- fegsés to be enamored of the tedious, tiresome, back-breaking is &@ man whose veracity is not work of tobacco culture, where the old method oftransplanting is adhered to, always awakens some: thing akin to fear and trembling as the time for it approaches. ‘lo the arduous labor, which is lamentations there is the nnéér- tainty of a season when the plants are ready, and altogether itis a worrisome business, and hearty thanksgiving is offered up when it is over and done with. Blessed isthe man who invent- ed thé transplanter! The valne of the machine is not yet fully appreciated, but itis beginning tobe so. Moreand more ofthem are coming into use every dav, and the day 1s not far distant when this great labor saving de- vice will be looked upon as of no less importance tothe tobacco raiser thas his curing barn. In some sections it is already so re- garded and it is pushing its way into popular favor in the South. The advantage of usiog the famous Fulier & Johnson Bemis Transplantat, which we illustrate ob this page, are manifold, and will be readily seen when the work it does is understood. The accomplished with groans and: straight and starting sooner, cul- - tivation may begin earlier avd| Wa weeds are killed, and this is eqval worms are in some degree warded off by immediate and. frequent cultivation. The giower is inde- pendent of labor and escapes a task of setting out-plants by hand jlame back. Asa whole, it does the work better than when done by hand; it makes its own seasons; it insures better tobacco and more of it; the work of cultivating and of harvesting is less, and it is by far the cheapest in every way. The farmer who gets the great- est returns from his crops is he who is progressive, and adopts agricultural. machinery that have proved successful time, labor and money savers. Sach in an emin- eot degree is the Bemis Trans- planter manufactured by the Ful: ler & Johnson Manufacturing Compary, of Madison, Wis. The Journal has abundant reasons for belieying that it is all that is claimed for it, and we fully re-~ commend itto our growers. In additiou to use in setting out to- bacco, it will also transplant to- matoes, cabbage, etc. The price of the machine is reasonable and itis strongly constructed. With proper care it will last a lifetime. It will pay for itself in @ year, and often several times in One year. We append a few testimonials of Southern farmers who have used the Bemis Transplanter: The Bemis Tobacco Transplanter is @ perfect success. It sets out: the plants more reguiarly, leaves the ground in better condition to ‘wachive is drawn by a pair of horses, anu requires to operate it. besides the driver, two boys small furrow in which water in exactly the right quautitv is pour- ed automatically, and the plants are set in water so that the roots are thoroughly wetted. The far- row is then closed and the earth packed nicely around tke plants by the packing plates, the rows thus left in a gentle ridge. The packing of the earth is regulated, aud may be done hard or soft as desired. The machine adapts it- self to the unevenness of the sur- face ofthe land, enabling the Operator, just as he pleases, to set the plants deep or shallow. The plants may be set when ready, no matter how dry the ground may be. The fertilizer attach ment, which is peculiar to the Fuller & Johnson Bemis ‘Trans planter and not to be had else- where, distributes the fertilizer in the row and puis in just as eae or as little as may be want ed. f By the use of this transplanter these results are obtained super- ior to those that follow hand sett- ing: The roots are not doubled up, avd the plants start better and grow and mature more evenly and quicker. A crust is not form- the case by the old process where | the ground is wet and water is cultivate, the plants grow more uniformly and can be set at any time where the land has been pro- to drop the plants. It plants one! perly prepared, the Jast being a row ata time, and can set from. three to six acres aday. As the; plants are set they are watered; | that is, the machine makes a} decided. advantage as every to- bacco grower knows. L. F. Evans, Greenville, N. C. Yours at hand and noted. I haye been setting my tobacco plants with a machine for two years, and at the same time have been experimenting with bhand- set plants. I greatly prefer to have my crop set by machinery under any circumstances. A part from the economy, better work can be done than it is possible to do with the hand. 1 find that the plant thrives better, it grows off| quicker, evenly, and ripens more ‘uniformly. Of the many ma- chines you have sold in this sec- tion this season, I hear but one verdict—Tvansplanter a verfect success... F. M. Rocers, Jr., Florence, S. C. I consider the Bemis Tobacco Transplenter a great success, and am satisfied had I used it to set my crop of 20 acres last season it would save more than the cost of the machine. I think ninety-nine per cent of plants set with it will live and grow off so quickly that it will be ready for cutting trom six to ten days sooner than that set by hand. Locama, N, C.

Dear Str:—I am pleased to say that the Vic- tor Safe you sold me some five or six years ago preserved in tact all its contents in the late fire in Greenville on the 16th inst. The safe stood ata point in my office in the Opera House block that must have been one of the hottest parts in the great conflagration. It contained many papers and other things of value. When it was takon out of the ruins and opened, some twelve hours after the fire, everything ip it was found to be sately preserved and in good con- dition I cheerfully make this statement of facts in recognition of the valuable service ren- dered me by this safe and you are at liberty to make such use of it as you may see proper.

Why not ask that the Wasington train be allowed to run through to Kinston in the morning and return in the evening? This would give people desiring to go south a chance to do so and not have to stay over all night as they'do now. It would also allow people from Washing- ton to go to Kinston and other points on this line and return same day. It would also give us a direct connection with Newbern and a much quicker con- nection with Goldsboro,: besides numer- ous other advantages it would. offer. I think if the people of Greenville and Kinston would ask for vhis they would get it. I also think it would give an advantage ot at least two or three hours in going to Raleigh. ie This is a‘ good suggestion and one we would like to see adopted. ‘T'wo trains a day each way over this road would be a great convenience. When the Washington branch was first built the ReFLector suggested that the train from that town in the morning could be run on from Parmele to Kin- ston and return in the afternoon, instead of going to Tarboro to lay over there all day. However, we doubt if the people of Greenville get any better train service at all unless they ask for it. As yet our business men seem to be manifes- ting no interest in the matter. IN THE REFLECTOR.
