(Special Correspondence: to Reflector.) Raveicu, N, C., June 22nd, 1896. Epiror RerLector.—It may be that some of your readers would like to know what is going on here, and witi your permission we propose to jot down, from time to time, such items as we may think may be of interest to them, from the “City of the Oaks.” Doubtless most of your readers have sometyme in their lives visited this city, and are familiar with its location, the beauty and loveliness of the surround- ; jing country, its charitable and penal institutions, its pure water and healthful _. {¢limate, and the generous hospitality and good breeding of its citizens ; so ot these we shall not speak for the pres- ent, but try to give you such news as is of daily occurrance. In thisday of telephones and _tele- graphs a good many of the county papers get the news before it can be transmitted through the mails, Col. Fred Olds, the wide awake correspon- dent and news gatherer, told me this morning that he furnished the news to entirely by wire. The cost of doing this is very much less than we had supposed. The Wilmington Messen- ger, Charlotte Observer and other daily papers published simultaneoulsy, ull the rews of interest transpiring here, witn the city papers. About all the educational institutions of Raleigh have held their commence- ments, as closing exercises are called, and the students have gone to their various homes to spend their snmmer vacation. Each institution, of course, claims a larger attendance and more gratitying progress than in any former year. We had the pleasure of attend- ing the moat of them and were favor- ably impressed and frank to express our convictions, that the schools here are of high grade,and, most of the teach- ers thoroughly competent, faithtul and zealous in the performance of their du- ties. The A. & M. College established here a few years ago for the especial and is now in good working order with all necessary machinery, well stocked ‘with improved breed of cattle and hogs, a model barn and farmins impliments of the latest patera. The sons of farm ers are here taught how to make their own liviny in some practical way, while the developments of their minds and muscles are not ueglected. Most all, if not every one, who have graduated here is now occupying some responsible position at good wages. Technical training while tending to intellectural devolopment, trains the hand . and reconciles the practical with ths scien- tific. It teaches our young men not to be ashamed of honest labor and at the same time enables poor boys to earn their own bread. The young man that has learned to make a steam engine, take charge of water. works, electric |; ae plants, understand steeet car sys 4a, jor how to manage A. dairy farm in-demand in the fatare. e fear we are extending this letter "HT 1 to too great a length and must abruptly close without saying “anything about politics or other t things that might of interest to your readers. “The State Democratic Conye tion, ny aNes | ihe this week and i i HaHa the BEALL and a number of Pitt county's citizens a present.

JOYNER. eee From tl.e information that we have : gathered from the conntry in various sections there is no question of doubt}. but that while the tobacz) crop in some sections is more forward than usual it}; is still a very unsatisfactory one to the farmers. mers that managed to get all their crop set on a good season in April or very early May who have good stands with the exception of where the bud |; worms cut it down during the cold | % nights ia May. vanced and in some cases are all topped out and are looking very well indeed, but the great body of the tobacco was set trom May 5th to 15th, and beyond doubt this tooacco is more unsatistacto- | ry to the farmers in many ways than any crop we have ever grown. While it may be reverse to the criticisms made of the crop of eastern North Car- | olina by a good many other reporters yet it we were called upon to give an| 9 estimate of this crop in comparison | 5% with the ’95 crop we shoull most cer- tainly not place it over 80 in condition, and while we cannot tell what the fu- ture seasons will be or how the crop will be looking in ten days, we do know that unless there is a decided change for the better, and that soon, the eastern North Carolina crop this year will be by far the poorest that we have ever had. Andabout the acreage some of our high flying enthusiasts will be surprised some of these days when they realize that there was not as much to- bacco planted in eastern North Carol.” na in 1896 as there was in 1895. One of the most destructive hail storms passed through a section of country on the north side of the river that we have ever had. Mr. J. S. Smith tells us that he had 84 acres of tobacco and that it is literally torn all to pieces. He had already cured one barn of prim- ings and would soon have been ready to commence curing in full blast. The storm passed through « section about five miles in length doing great damage to all the crops but Mr. Smith’s .and Mr. Barnhill’s were the worst damaged of any that we have heard of, their’s being entirely ruined. ALIKE IN NAME. Another Daily Reflector Published in Ohio. Our good friend Alex Heilbroner, of New York, who is now on a tip through the western states, sends us a copy ofa paper published at Norwalk, Ohio, that made us feel quite at home when we read the head line. The name of the paperis THe Darty Re- FLECTOR, and doubtless the similarity of names led Alex to believe a copy of it would be interesting to us. And so it proved. While both papers have identically the same name there are some points of difference’ between us. First it 1s larger, being just the size of our week. ly edition ; then it is older, having at- tained the good age of 67 years; and ‘DG lit is thoroughly Republican in politics. All the same it is a bright paper with an excellent news service, and we hope its North Carolina nante-sake may live to become.as large) and. as old—but never reach its political way. of think- ng: Sie ieee —- ' rt ee hy" ‘ do i $ — Late. at la | we 4} ¥ Raising, Dates’ and Apples, Se: per pound, S.

S eieeermetaneenel What is Needed isnot Long Faced Piety but an Honest Obligation Discharging Christianity. [Rev. D. H. Tuttle in North Carolina Christian Advocate. ] we no man anything,’’—Romans Just at this time our country needs a religion that will make a man pay_ his debts. Shouting don’t settle old notes and accounts with God nor man—cash up. We want to pounce right on a fellow and put him out of the church if he goes to a ball or a theatre or gets on a drunk, but never say a word to the pious scamp who never pays his debts. Preachers and people who do not pay their debts are doing the church more “harm than danders and drunkards — there are more of'them in the church. Reader, am I getting lose to you ¢ Then lay down the paper and go and pay up and you can read on with ease. And don’t you stop paying because the “statute of limitations” excuses the open account you made for your bread and|® meat—Gd’s law knows no such statue. _ You pay it in cash or God will make _ you pay it in fire and brimstone. God knows no such excuse from paying as “homestead exemption.” You raise _ that excuse to keep from paying your : debts and you can stop singing “When Tk n read my title clear to mansions ‘in skies” "—you've got none up there, yey I would pay if I could. ve you tried?

Put that amoui* to your debts. Do you Plainer diet would likely keep you trom making doctor’s bills that yon never pay, and leave yeu money to bring up back a- counts. Do you strut about with an umbrella over your head while your crediter walks in the broiling sun? Don’t you cut shines on hired turnouts (maybe they are not paid for) when you might walk and use the money to make your creditors smile? A plainer suit ot clothes would be more becoming to you until you pay for those worn out last season. When expenses not nec- essary for the feeding and clothing uf the body are cut off and applied to the payment of debts, then you grow in ‘Zod, and not until then does God excuse you, Repentance on this point must be of that Godly sort that needeth not to be repented of. Reader, were you sorry that you had not paid your debts when you made a profession of religion’ If you were not that is just why you have not gota debt-paying religion. ‘True re- pentance has a backward as well as a forward effect on the lite of the believer. He will as for as pcssible, make good his past wrongs. Many new converts sing, “Jesus paid it all, all to him I owe.” Nosuch thing. Jesus did not pay it all; neither do you owe all to him. If the week before you were con- verted you owed your neighbor ten dol- lars and was able to pay it, you owe that neighbor ten collars yet. Jesus did not pay that for you. If you don’t pay that debt it will meet you at judg- ment as sure as you are a sinner. It is mean in you to expect Jesus to pay debts for you that you can pay your- self. If you have a Christian heart in you, think how much Jesus paid for you that you never could have met at God’s bar of inflexible justice. Some people think that the cleansing stream of Jesus’ blood washed Sinai away and. déluyed the law—no such thing. Je- sus came not to destroy, but to fulfill, and give grace that we through him might fulfill. At the close of a great revival a few years ago a number of young men 4 go and pay bills that they had made at barrooms for whisky, etc. I told them to “owe no man anything,” “let not your good be evil spoken of’— give the devil his dues. All of those young men save one or two went and paid’ up, those bad debts and have mid no more.” Those who could not sse that it was them duty to pay up those debts have returned to their old paths and their second state is worse taan the the first. - Then let the whole Church pray for a revival of debt-paying religion, ia every revival let prayer by made that the new converts may Itave grace to pay up “old debts” and not contragt new ones without a good probability of paying them. force this duty both publicly and _pri- vately (with discretion, and great, good can be ‘accomplished. It pkeachers will lookvafter this watter of debtpay- ing among their cungregation thei; own debts might be more promptly paid—chickens come home to roost. Both preachers and people need to be more careful, prayerful and_payful along this line. ‘The, greatest necessity of the present time is confidence among the people. Let the church command and demand her membership to live up to their promises and coniracts, and soon the financial darkness will give way to a brigliter morn of pros- parity. in all business circles. Keep the Amen corners and tront seats clear of members, who can and won’t pay theirdebts, and the word preached pwill reach sinners. a Platform ot Gold and Greed.

Customs in Regard to His Treatment Are Slowly Changing. The southern people say that a north- ern man, after living south a few years, is a fierce negro-hater, far outdoing the southern man in his antagonism ant of the negro’s inherent character- istics. It.is, however, the northern people who are helping the negroes to This is not said in criticism of the southern people, for conditions were made for them long ago, and their feelings and opinions ment, which will in time be changed by the new conditions. It is simply impossible for them to look at the negro as we do. Illustra- tions of this are constantly met in coing about the city. One morning. when starting for the fair grounds, a ‘bus driver on his way back from, the grounds drew up his horses to the walk, where several were waiting for the car, and said if we would meke up « load he would turn around. When we started off there was room for two more in the ’bus and room for one on the seat with the driver.

He also planted 5 acres in potatoes and got from them 35. bar. rels per acze which have been suld at $1.25 per barrel net. © Mr. Bland says he has never cultivated a erop sd eusily and with as little exp2nse as this sea- son, When asked if he was a candidate for County Commissioner he' said «No, sir "I wonld not be a candidate for any office (except overseer of the road) for $500 cash. .
