I. A. Sugg has for some time been col- lecting material for the publication in the American Agriculturist an article on the tobacco industry in Eastern North Carolina. The Agriculturist of the 7th con— tains a full page article, with illustra— tions, of the Greenville market and a history of the tobacco industry in the eastern connties since 1887. The American Agriculturist is one of the oldest and probably has a wider cir— culation than any agricultural journal published in the United States, hence it was through this excellent medium that Col. Sugg chose to tell the woild of the unsurpassed natural advantages that Eastern North Carolina possessed in the production of brizht tobacco. Since the cultivation of tobaceo was first begun in the eastern counties, ten years ago, Col. Sugg has been one among the first to lend his efforts t® anvthing which tended to the advance” ment of the tobacco interests of his section. The tollo ving personal reference to Col. Suge we clip from the Agriculta— rist, also his article on the tobaeco in- dustry in the “New Golden Belt” “Col. Sugg was one of the first to ene gage in tobacco culture in vhis section, and has been prominent in building up the industry and the loval markets. Ue has also been an earnest worker in every good cause for the material inter— est or social development of his town (Greenville) and county. marriage atliiated with the Old North State’s agricultural and business inter— ests, Col. Sugg sa true type of the southern veutieman who has labored indetatigably to develop the match- less resources of the middle south. A lawyer of good practice, he was presi- dential elector on the Palmer ticket.” “There has beea such a rapid increase since 1887 in the production of tobacco in exsterts Nuith Carolina, ia what is now known as the New Golden Belt,— cOMprisising the counties of Edge— combe, Nash, Martin, Pitt, Beaufort, Craven, Lenoir, Greene, Wayne and Wilson, —that it is simply wonderful. Inthese counties is now grown and marketed siaty per cent of the bright tobacco of the state, and when it is considered that North Carolina pro- duces eighty per cent of entire produc- tion of bright tobacco in the Union, it is no smail thing in considering this sec- tion as one of the most valuable to the world, of any section of the United States. Inthe short space of less than ten years, where there was not a single leat of tobacco marketed, now there are eight markets where there is sold daily § |large quantities of the olden weed, ‘|twenty warehouses uf spacious 8izes that engage sixty to eighty large prize houses ranging from eighty to one hun- SHOES of the best make.

Itisthe wender of the traveler, as he . pass3s through, that this industry has not long ago sought and been developed into a wonderful market, and such it is becoming and such it will eventually be. ‘Tbere is no inflation of prices or booming, but everything is of a solid and casy—going character, safe and stable. The prepa ration and setting and cultivating the plant is very much the same as in Dear- ly all the tobacco growing sections of the state and nation. But the saving and curing of the crop is on a very dit- ferent character from almost any state of the tobacco-growing section. This year’s crop was reduced in weight, quality and value by drought during the maturing stage, but the increased acreage will more than make Up the @ deficiency.” YOUR ELECTION. eeremreennenetres You Must Fue an Itemized Statemin* of What it Cost You.

The States of Califoruia, Dela- ware, Indiana, Kentucky, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, “West Virginia and Wyoming cast gixty clecteral votes. Hach “these States was considered “deubtful before the election on last Tuesday, and after a hard—| fought campaign, were proncunc- ‘ed Republican States by very small majorities. ' The following table shows the _ majorities by which these States | « were carried for McKinley in the of | sit g i; sae The nation pays him $36,-| 1000 more for. the salaries of his secretaries, clerks and other sub- ordinates. Another $8,000 goes for such incidentals as stationery, carpers and care of the stables. There is aiso an allowance of $2- 500 for fuel, $4,000 for the green- house, and some $15,000 for gas, matches, ete, etc. Altogether about $125,000. The Vice-President of the United States receives $8,000 a year. The same amount) is paid to the Secrataries of State, of the Treasury, of War and of the Na- vy, to the Postmaster General, to the Secretary of the Inierior, to the Atterney-General and to the Secretary of Agriculture. The Commissioners of General Land Offices get $4,000, the Commis- sioner of Patents 34,500, and the Commissioner of Pensions $5,000.

One of the mem- bers stated that “we must keep this matter quiet or the d—— ‘niggers’ will want to bein it too.” It appeurs that there was a col- ored man present who was natur ally displeased with the remark— aud he went out and told what the white Republican said. During the campaign we heard a great deal from Popalist and Republican orators abont the honest election law they have given us and the fair count we were going to have, and we al! know how the ballot boxes in Mecklenburg were stuffed with fraudulent and iilegal batlots. In two wards in Wilmington the ballots counted were in excess of the voters registered and the Same was the case in one town-— ship in Buncombe.

Pettibone was in a tender, reminiscent mood, | writes Eugene Field in the Chicago Record. He had just heard one of the party at the club remark that the world was full of sentiment of the kindliest quality. This set the amiable commodore to talking. “Six or eight years .ago,’’ said he, “T was summering in Michigan. One evening a telegram came announcing the death of my little nephew, a child to whom I was devotedly at- tached and for whom I felt a special affection, because he was my name- sake. It was imperative that I re. turn at once to Chicago. I made my way to Manistee, but did not arrive there until after the departure of all trains and boats. Every possibility of reaching Chicago in time for the funeral seemed gone, and I was near- ly overcome by grief and disappoint- ment. In this dazed and irrespon- sible position I wandered about the wharf at Manistee and by the merest chance found a lumber barge about to set out for Milwaukee. I made my way aboard this boat and asked the captain to take me with him. ‘* ‘Impossible,’ said he. ‘I am not permitted to carry passengers. If I were to be detected violating the law, I should be put to no end of troubie.’ ***ButIcan go asa sailor or asa deckhand,’ said I. ‘* ‘That would be an evasion which I do not care to practice,’ said he. ‘“‘T saw he was not to be moved in this way.

I was riding on the Detroit, Lansing and Northern railroad in Michigan on my way from Lansing to Grand Rapids. Wo had been out from Lansing about an hour when we be- gan to go down a steep grade. present patent couplings were not in use on that road then, and thers was always danger that the cars would become separated. I was sit- ting in the rear end ofthe train and was the only passenger in the car. Suddenly I began to realize that we were going at a great rate of speed. I looked out the window and I sav7 that we were shooting down thx grado asthe train had never gone before. I ran to ihe door at the front of the car. There I saw thai the engine and two cars had brolen loose from us and were shooting on ahead. We were gaining on them rapidly. The engine was slowing up.

Jarvis’ card unnoticed, but since the one from Mr. Skinner I deem it my thay if a lie is out I haven’t told it. During the summer Messrs. J. H. Blount, F. G. James and myself were sitting in the porch in front of the office ot Jarvis & Biow discussing Hon, Har- ry Skinner. Goy. Jarvis came 10 the door, and hearing the subject ot discus- sion, exclaimed, “are you surprised at anything Skinner does or says?” There. upon he related that when in Washing- ton, D. C., on one becassion he was in ner working for the bill to pay private secretaries to Congressmen $100 per, month the year around. In ashort time thereafter be heard a fawiliar voice, and to be sure, he opened the door and there Skinner was on the floor making a speech against it. Major Henry Harding, Messrs. J. L. Little, R, A.
