For instance, the last Kinston Free Press made a very broad assertion, doubtless not knowing whatit was say- ing, as no figures were given t9 substan- tiate tha claim. The Rertecror would not feel called upon to pay any atfen- tion whatever to the boast but for the fact that. Greenville was brought in it by way of comparison. ‘That paper says : “Qur town now has facilities to handle as much tobacco as any market in Eastern Carolina. Our two mam- moth warehouses are about equal in ffoor snace to all the warehouses in Greenville.” 2 No objection at all to the first sen- tence in the above quotation if it had stopped there. But let us see a bit as to the last sentence. Kington has two tobacco warehous2s, Greenville has four. The floor space of Greenville’s four houses 1s 48 follows : Star, 80x140 11,200 feet Greenville, 80x160 12,800 feet. Eastern, 959x175 16,625 feet. Plagters, 80x156 12,480 feet. Total floor space 53,105 feet, We have been told, therefore do rot give this of our own knowledge, that Kinston’s largest warehouse is 80x200 teet, making 16,000 feet of floor space for that one house alone. Now. if that. town’s smallest warehouse has a floor space two-atid-one-third times as great as its largest house then we will admit that the claim of the Free Press. But unless that paper can give the figures to sustain its position then it must “take water.’ And we would’ advise our much esteemed contemporary to do all the blowing it can for its home market, but don’t go outside to make compari— sons that cannot be sustained with oth- er markets or it might get the worst of ik The Reviecror bas not a word to say against the Kinston market. We like the town, we like the people over thee. Weare glad chat the town has a good tobacco market, and no one out- side of its own citizens is more ready: to rjoice over its success than we ave.

Yuberculosis and the Formidable. nomy It Is to Mankind. In order to sce how formidable an enemy we have in tuberculosis let us contrast. it with some other dis- eases which are even more dreaded. Leprosy is rare in most civilized countries; even in Asia Minor it causes less than 1 per cent of the total death rate. Typhoid and sear- let fevers are each held responsible for 3 per cent; diphtheria and pneu- monia.for 5 per cent each. The deaths from consumption alone, ‘hip joint disease, Pott’s disease ‘of the spine, some forms of meningi. tis, intestinal marasmus, caries of bone and many abscesses, make up, per cent of the total death rate of this country. Itis estimated that one-third of all deaths occurring in the medical wards of hospitals are due to tuberculosis, and that a fifth of all surgical.cases treated—many of which are cured—are tubercular. We may bring these statistics home by saying that you and I were ‘porn with one chance in five of dy- ing of some form of tuberculosis. If our chance of being instantaneously and decently killed by an electric shock were 1 in 500, we would turn the wheels of progress back 20 years rather than allow an electric light »r a trolley car to threaten our safe- ty. No: pains and no expense are thought :too great in maintaining a quarantine against cholera, small- | community is already vaccinated against—diphtheria ; and the like. Large appropriations are made ‘that there may be trieda yet uu oved defense against diphtheria, Ci to the insidious enemy that numbers its dead by hundreds where these other open foes count theirs by scores we are blind.

Asa proof this we may mention that a writer in The Mona’s Herald newspaper of Jan, 34, 1844, in commenting on a; famous witehcraft case which had recently been adjudicated upon, re- marked, ‘‘Aocording to popular be- lief, if the witch swears he has not done it and does not wish to do it, he cannot witch again.’’ Another curious and novel idea is that it was supposed to be possible to manufac- ture a witch. The method of doing so was given to our informant by an aid man about the year 1875, who gaid that he had it from the victim herself, then an old woman. An old } woman who had practiced witch- craft and charms during a great part of her life had grown very fee- ble, and so, being wishful to endow her daughter witi! 2imilar powers, made her go through the following | performance: ‘‘A white sheet was laid on the floor, and beside it was placed a tub of clean water. The girl was made to undress and go into the water, and after thoroughly washing her- self to get out and wrap hersolf in the sheet. While she stood in the sheet she had to repeat after her mother a number of words, the ex- act nature of which, as she was in an abject state of terror, she had forgotten, only remembering that their general purport was that she swore to give up all belief in the Al. mighty’s power and to trust in that of the evil one instead. The old woman died soon afterward, but the girl made noattempt to practice the attributes with which she was sup- posed to have been endowed.”’ witched, it was customary, till quite recently, to burn one of the herd, Tt ig curioas that in. the-isle ot | Man tho term butch oF witeh is ap. | _ 8) a If cattle were supposed to be be- | One usually a calf, both for the protec- while the animal was being burned he would be certain to appear cn the spot, and if he could not get the ani- mal’s heart into his possession he lost his power in the future.
