TOBACCO JOTTINGS. seeete ten “I BY 0. L. JOYNER. There are men, a few and very few of them in Greenville to-day, that are still mouthing and quarreling mostly with themselves because there is a to- bacco market here and our farmers have seen proper to cut loose from the infernal mortgage system and assert their independence. There is a mer- chant in this town, one who has seen ‘\the time when he carried the largest per cent of the farmers of this county on a mortgage in his overcoat pocket, but he has lost his grip and the time has gone now who has been heard to say within the last few days that he wished that there was not an acre of tobacco planted in the county and that the merchants of Greenville had never been benefitted one cent from the to- bacco market, that there was not as 90000 | much money made to-day by the peo- ple of the county and that the mer- chants of Greenville did not sell as many goods to-day as they did ten or twelve years ago when there was no tobacco planted in Pitt county, and closed by saying that the farmers told him that the tobacco men were the toughest men to deal with of any class in the country and that if he nad his way about it he would not plant a stalk this year. Well! Well! Well! the Greenville tobacco market will certainly have to close if this man to plant this year we will be ruined, of course. other, purpose than, to, give , the = irre ntdhialn 'p ent a fool might see it. It is not doubted at all that there may be some men in town who are not selling aS many goods as they formerly did, but this is because an era of comparative prosper- ity has loomed upon the farmers and they are allowed to trade where they please, and the day also has passed when one, two or three men constituted Greenville, and the man who made this remark, whoever he. was,must nec- essarily sooner or later realize that the | business of Greenville is not by any means all vested in one man. It is ev- ident that he is very mach behind the times as yet or he would not have made the remark‘ and if such is the case then it is only natural for him to think that Greenville is not selling as many goods as formerly because he is not. That the tobacco market has done a great deal toward developing Green- ville no intelligent man will dispute, and that some of this man’s property OR HIGH SPRING NOY- eliies you cannot find a more complete stock in the State.

He never has sold his cropin Greenville and if he fails Through the kindness of Messrs. J. B. Cherry & Co., the writer was furnished a comparative estimate of the number of bales of cdtton that was grown in Pitt county since 1880,) and from that statement (and we believe that this firm have as accurate an esti- mate as can be found in the county) take the greatest number of bales of cotton grown in any one year and place the price of the cotton at ten cents a pound and the Greenville to- bacco market paid out last year as much money for tobacco as was paid for cotton. when, the greatest num- ber of bales were produced in any one year at the largest average price that cotton has sold for in fifteen years, This statement is not produced here for any facts to those who may not know them,| | Aste whether the merchants have! increased their sales they will decide, but.it is so plain that there were nearly twice as many goods sold in Green- "Pd vie ha (199661696 ae was sold ten who made. this remark has been in- creased in value in some cases as much as 50 per cent no man that knows will dispute. In conclusion we want to say that ordinarily these things would not have been noticed, but recently this thing has become not only odious but is calculated todo harm and it is] only in justice to those engaged in the tobacco business that any attention is paid it.

Ship Canal, Norfolk to New Berne. » Washington, D. C., March 23.— Secretary Lamont sent to the House today a report of the corps of engineers giving an estimate of thé cost’ ‘ot con- structing a ship canal trom Norfolk, Va., through Dismal Swamp, to New Berne, N.C. The cost of a ten-foot seems to take considerable pleasure, in fivaterway i is placed at, $1,711,380, and | sets, which, the costumer declared the.cost of one nine feet deep is estima- ted at $1,364,930. The report makes no recommendation, simply, calling at- tention to the fact that the Dismal Swamp canal is the ‘property of a pri- vate corporation. “ —_—__ The Consanquinity of It. A few days ago an old darkey ap- plied to one of our physicians for a remedy for chills and fever for him self and wife. That old remedy— qui- nine and whiskey—was _ prescr.bed. In a day or two the old tellow came buck and said; “See here, Dr., dat truck what you give me and my wife didn’t do one bit. of good but I want some more of hit.” “Did you take it according to directions ?” asked the physician. Yessir, yessir,” replied the patient. “All ceptin’ I tuck de licker and de old ’oman tuck dat powder truck.” “You fool negro,” said the M. D,, “why did you do that?” The old fellow replied, “Well, doctor, de pe preasher what married’ us said we two. is one, now dat bein’ de case don’t you see de consanquinity of de argu- ment ?”—Monroe Enquirer. } .

We -)freah butter, d wugar, Spehtracte) espor | tions has been carried on at the bot- tom of Lake Nemi, an extinct crater in the Alban hills, about 15 miles from Iiome. The place is most picturesque, anda little village, with a tall medieval tower and red and yellow roofs,regards its reflection in thelimpid ‘| waters of the lake far below. The dwei’ers along the banks of the little lake, “the nymphs and satyrs of the chestnut alleys,” have thrown the poetry of their vivid. imaginations around the story of a lost ship and have woven around it a strangely pic- turesque legend. This legend in its briejest form re- lates that once upon a time in the misty ages.of the past a king lived here with his one only child, the fair Princess Hiaha. She was a noted huntress and went daily to the chase, attended by a group of girls, spirits kindred to her own. One day the fortunes of the chase separated her from her companions aid after wandering about, tired and hungry, ‘she saw in the distance a youth engaged in whistling, imitating the birds of the forest, especially the nightingale, whose rippling notes he had caught exactly. Tle was as hand- some as a dream and was a strawberry- gatherer. He gave the princess. a basket filled with strawberries and a_ pretty bunch of cyclamens, which abound in these woods. It may be noted here that Nemi is celebrated for | the flavor of its wild strawberries. Next day the princess separated again from her companions of the shase, but now it was by design and not by accident. She again met the peasant youth with the strawberries and the cyclamens. The wandering away of} the princess from her companions be- came as much a habit with her as meet- ing with the handsome young Man who whist!ed like a nightingale. These two became fond lovers. The king was informed of the matter and the hunt- iug was stopped and the princess was relegated to a sort of mild imprison- ment. She wandered about in a wooded garden, open on the lake side, but ir side. A great barge or boat was moored near the land, and when the days were warm she sought the coolness of this retreat, The barge, according io the Jegend, was an enchanted island, united to the shore by a well-eguarded draw- bridge. It wasa retreat just suited for lovers and had a-sort.of resemblance to {hat dreamed of by Claude Meinotte as a fitting residence for his bride Pauline. Love laughs at locksmiths and over- passes grea: obstacles. Ona wide, low- spreading plane-tree that hung over the water, the strawberry youth with the nightingale notes walked along the spredding branch and dropped down into the barge. He saw Diana and he was happy. One evening every one was overcome with the hot sirocco wind. A storm arose. The princess and the straw- herry lad were on the barge. The huge ship broke from her moorings. She sprung a leak and began gradually to settle down in the water. The storm raged and the terrible darkness was only breken by the flashes of vivid light- uing which illuminated the scene for a brief moment. When the morning broke the lake was smooth and tran- quil, but no boat broke the shine of iis surface. The barge, with Princess Diana and her lover with the nightin- gale notes had perished, and no more was ever heard of the hapless pair.— valtimore fun.
