BY 0. L. JOYNER. During the last two or three months there have been quite a number of strangers to uur town and it has been our pleasure to talk with a good many of them. ‘Almost without exception they have marveled at the superior quality. of our bright tobacco. Until very recently, and in fact now there are a great many people that think the chief products of the pastern section of our State are tar, | piteb, turpentine and & littie cotton, while the bright to- bacco belt of the State has been heralded to the world'as lying in that. section which is traversed by the Sea ‘Board Air Line railroad, when in point of fact the hest bright tobacco producing belt in the world to-day lies along the At- lantic Coast Line system of eastern North Carclina. These people that have passed through here from the North say the tarmers of eastern North Carolina have a! mint almost in the proper production of bright tobacco and yet the most of our people think, and they do, have a hard time making any- thing out of tobacco. If our farmers could take a prospective trip through the agricultural fields of New England and note the extreme advantages under which the people up there have to jabor in comparison with the many ad- vantages that the people of the South and especially eastern :North Carolina have, it would be an incentive to our people to come back home and live more contented and utilize our oppor- tunities in a more profitable way. We are fully aware of the fret that agri- cultural products of all kinds have de- preciated in value at an amazing ratio during the last few years and we know, too, that for the amount of labor ex- pended there is less pay in farming than almost anything a man can en- gage in, because the farmer’s taper has | + been burning at both ends, for while over production has been working its serious injury to almost all our pro- ducts the passage of ‘lav:s. by our national Congress inimicable to the farmer’s interests has also played sad havoc in many instances. Yet under these circumstances purely as a matter of business our farmers should take ad- vantage of all influences that are to their interest and make the best of the circumstances under which we live and which we cannot avoid. In other words farming should be cunducted up on as high a plain of business as the mercantile orany other profession. The successful business management ot a farm requires more careful judgment and the exercise of more hard dowz common sense than any other profes- sion in which man can engage, and it is an account of the lack ofthis that the profession has been dragged down to its present standard. And then, too, busi- ness failures in other professions are ‘dumped generaly into the agricultural the last on earth to which they should go, and as a matter of fact having been |failures at everythiug else they make an ignominious one here. Our purpose when we started to write this article was to show to our readers the superior advantages that we possess.as on agricultural people in _| the eyes of strangers who come among us, and that while we are to-day not getting as much for the fruits of. our |labor as We are justly entitled to, ye after all we are a great deal better of than many of our less fortu- nate triends in the bleakj and: frigid | States ‘of the Noith and ° = ny where on account, of climatic conditions i it is, almost i le to get.in more . than workin theyeari:: ‘Dow: San Si TOs Moe Gna «badd Fon ee oD bitterly cold in winter that outdoor work cannot be done the year around, almost every variety of crop at about half the expense that the same would cost in the Northern States, and while in many instances our lands have run down yet under skillful management in a short while their fertility can be re- placed. 'And last, but by no means least, Wehave with us the native born ot any other in the world, when prop- erly treated, to help us in our agricul- tural pursuits, With these advantages that we possess, under prudent busi- ness management does it not seem that we should get the full benefit of the opportunity that is presented. AROUND THE TRACK. pean ponte rae Exciting Races for the Second Day. ppp en onto ess If anything the races for ‘Thursday were even more interesting and excit- ing than the day betore. There were two races to the finish, and another through the fourth heat. The first race was in the 2:50 class for a purse of $200 divided as follows: Winner, $100; 2nd, $50; 3rd, $30; 4th, $20. The horses came in in the following |. order on the different heats : . 1st Heat—Cantbile, (Hackburn & Willet, Newbern) Allie Mansfield, (M. H. White, Hertford) Elise, (Smith & Hooker, Greenville) Cadet, (Scotland Neck Breeding Farm) Time 2:49}. 2nd Heat—Cantbile, Elise, Cadet, Allie Mansfield.

Mamie ‘Time Tuirp Racke—Matcu. The free-for-all race not being made up, the two day’s series of races was to close with a match race for a $100 purse between Prince Alvert (J. W. (M. H. White, Hertford). Both being fine trotters there was much interest in the race from the very start. Every heat was. exciting and very close. In the first Julian May came in ahead in 2:254, and again in the second in 2:26. Fortune then turned the other way and Prince Albert won the third and fourth heats in 2:29 each. By this time it was so dark the horses could not be seen around the track and the final heat was postponed to 9 o’clock this morning. During the night there was much speculation as to which horse would win, and a lare crowd was on hand at the appointed hour to witness the final heat. It was won by Julian May by less than half length in 2:28, . Every one present at the different heats declare that they never witnessed a finer race. - All the races-uf the entire series were good and reflect credit upon the Asso- pution: | if fa ne at va sa et.cent. on all goods, | me it a mild, genial climate that is not so/§ Here on the average land we can grow} Southermnegro, the best laborer by far | Stewart, Newbern) and Julian May |: produce inferior Cloth= ing so often choose the Boys for victims ?, They must think the mothers can’t tell. liant chance,—we find they can discriminate. want it” doesn’t poor Clothing. “Sarit Suits are here,—every- thing that's handsome and right.

You can just go home.” | He was between her and the door, anyhow, and he looked very black audsaid he wouldn't. “Then I will leave you,” she re- torted “Good night.” | He caught her ‘wrist and ex claimed: “No; you stay here-” It was a slender wrist, but she shook it vigorously, saying: “Aren't you ashamed of. your- self, you big, ugly fellow?

Once in awhile the engineer of a train on Dr. Seward Webb’s Adirondack railroad has a race with a deer, Some- times it happens that the frightened deer won't leave the track and is killed. One night in September, when Pat Cummings was pulling the through train down to Utica, he walked back to. Conductor Clarke, while his fireman was taking water at Nehosene, and said: “Bill, ¢ killed a deer back there by the river. It was a fine big buck. He run ahead of me for a long piece, and I could see him plain. When I hit him he went up over the pilet higher'n he ever jumped before in lis life, 1 bet. He landed just out there in the ditch, and I had a notion to stop and get him, but I was afraid you’d kick.” . . “I wish you had stopped,” said Clarke. “The next time you catch a deer that way you stop, It won’t take make up the time. Deer meat is too scarce and too high to let it go like that.” . . Cummings said he surely would stop the next time, and Clarke got the agent to telegraph to the agent at Horseshoe to send the section men down to the river with their hand car to get the! deer. It was after. 11 o'clock, but the section men started out, and after a smart pull got down to the river. They looked a long time, but could find no deer. Up and down the track they went, and at last were just about to give up in disgust when one of the men found it. It lay out.on the bank of the | ditch beside the track. It was a fine | large yellow dog. Now if you ask Pat Cummings if he has killed a deer lately you want to be ready to dodge, and. dodge. mighty quick, for Pat is a husky citizen.—N. Y. Sun.
