JOYNER. — Since the first of last October many speculations haye been rite as to what the probable decrease in the tobacco acreage in Pitt, Greene and Lenoir counties would bé this year. During the marketing of the crop in the fall and winter months the low price at which it sold, and the frequent expressions that planters were heard to use in reference to the coming crop ‘were’ sufficient to almost warrant the conclusion that a disastrous reduction would be made in the 97 tobacco crop. Conservative farmers, men who are slow and guarded in their decisions, openly avowel their intention of cartailing their tobacco acreage very considerably, with the ad- ditiona! assertion that unless prices were better for the next crop, that it would be their last. i venture the assertion that out of every hendred farmers who grew tobacco last year 95 of them were dissztistiei at the result of their prices, and with such a condition of affairs it is no wonder, that farmers were trequent in their expressions of disconteut and un- certain as to their future course with to- bacco as their main dependence. Then comes the marketing of the cotton crop which if possible onthe whole sold more disastrously low thau the tobacco crop, and but for this 9ud the fact that nearly every farmer nad gone to addi- tional expense to prepare for tobacco ] believe that Eastern North Caroli- na including all the territory east of she W. & W. Railroad would have been decréased at least 354 per cent. But when farmers realize that if they should cut off their tobacco and throw the acreage into cotton, it meant certain destruction in the fall, for cotton at four-or even five cents a pound means simply two cents a pounds worse off than no cotton at all, and that I believe (though 1 am not up on cotton tacts) is about the-basis on which the ’97 cotton crop is now being figured. Taus a more and more frightful condition contronted the farmers. ‘True their tobacco crop had in many instances tailed even to pay expenses, but when they turned to cot- ton that crop offered no consolation and while prices of tobacco last year were discouraging it was the first crop that had net proved remunerative. and the ’96 crop was the poorest that had ever: been grown in the eas; and hence the question that presented itselt for discus- sion was whether they should act upon their first impulse and cut their tobacco oft and put it into cotton or take the more conservative course and cultivate better. .\iver waiting util the crop is all in the grouhd, and getting the most reli- able information from all sections, I atm led to the conclusion that the tobacco acreage in the three counties above named which embrace the greater part 0. the tobacco belt, will not be decreased to exceed 16% per cent and probably not over 124 -per cent. If the farme? in the east make a 00d erop this year and prices are good & probably plant as much next year as rormer'y. With the increased fertili« zation of soil, and the determination of farmers to make their tobacco better the probability is there will be jast as this year than last. Base Bail. St. Louis, May 20-—-The Browns played poorly today. Hutchinson was on the rubber and was hit hard by Boston. In addition he was very wild, nearly ali of his bases on balls proved fatal. Score. St. Louis, 4; Boston, i1. Cincinnati, May 2)—The Reds de- j teated the Orioles in a close and excit- ing contest today. McGraw was put out of tue game by Umpire Sheridan in the eighth inning. Score. Cincin- nati, 11; Baltimore, 10. Pittsburg, May 20—Pittsburg’s field ing errors were bad enough io loose an o:dinary game, but their good, bard hitting won out. Killen gave no hits atter ths third inning and errors were responsible for the Phillies two ruus iu the the fifth. Score. Pittsburg, 10; Philadelphia, 4. Louisville, May 20—Tne Colonels Were not in the game today uatil the sixth-inning, when Daub was knocked out of the box. Louisville won the gam >in the thirteen.h inning, scoring three runs, while the Bridegrooms were lucky to get two. Herman was replaced by Cunningham during the tenth. Sccre. Louisville, 18; Brooklyn, 12. Chicago, May 20—‘Today’s game was the greatest tarce of the season, both teams playing hke a lot of school boys. It was a slugging march trom the start After using up three of Washington’s pitchers and having a comfortable lead Brigys went up in ttie air im the ninth, gave a base on balls and was pounded all over the field. McJames (pitcher No. 4) came in in the ninth and al- though he was chilled through trom sitting on the bench, shut the Colts out Without a tua or hit. Score. Chicago, 14; Washington, 16.

Although Mr. McKinley has been re— ported to be opposed to the sugar schedule ot the tariff bill, he is acting with ‘the trust to thrott le an expression of the almost universal sentiment of the country sn behalt of Cuba through Congress, and by the aid of Czar Reed he has so far succeeded. Representa- tive Bailey and the other Democrats and Porulisis in the; House made a stout fight to pass a resolution declar- ing in favor of the recognition of the belligerency of the Cubans at the same time the appropriation ot $50,000 to feed starving citizens in Cuta was nade, but tne most they could do was to frighten the Republicans into recal- iag all their absent members and to ‘eompel many Republicans to vote against their honest convictions in order ‘to please Mr. McKinley and the sugar trust. Republicans talk mysteriously J about Mr. McKinley. having a robust Cuban policy, but when pressed they ac knowledge that they don’t know whatit 4s. In fuct,there is considerable gramb- lingamony the prominentRepublicans be cause Mr. McKinley bas not taken them into his contidence as to bis in- tention towards Cuba. The Senate will probably act, anyway, but the House’can do nothing as long as it wears the Reed muzzle. Mr. ‘I. E, Wardner, the well known . Boston editor and publisher was in Washington this week conferring with prominent silver men in Congress. He repurted the silver sentiment in New Englanc to be greatly on the increase, owing to the eyes of meschants and manufacturers having been opened by the continued full in prices, and said ; “The silver teeling in the large towas, (From will make itself feltin the next Cone gressional campaign. killed labor is more than eversin favor cf silver. shoemakers of Lynn, Haverhill and - metallists. = : ‘reasons in ‘the followin s _ |The Senate cannot afford to let this |ignore the charges that’have been made. ‘and gamble in stocks as other men _, always strong, id increasing rapidly and The other piaces are almost to a man bi- There will be at least six silver Congre‘smen in the next Mas~ _pachusetts delegation, and the chances | are pretty good that the next Legisla- tare wiilcontain a silver majority. 1 + sincerely and honestly beliave that if ~ : Massachusetts were to vote tomorrow ie fsa would cast her lot on the side ot bi- e pre ot ex-Senator tail » itzsimmons in Washington: e time caused some way to that —_ had taken the | sugar trust seandal. ‘He sg his} language : ‘matter rest where it is. We eannot The prinvipal thing for us to find out is what influences were back’ of the adoption of that schedule by the finance commi‘tee. As far as speculation in sugar stock by Senators 1s converned, I know of no reason why a Senator has not the same right to risk his money provided he does not do it in secret and advance information which is not accessible to the public, and p> -ovided it is not at a time when his vote in the Senate would influence the course of the matket.” Mr. Tillman says he will wait a reasonable time to allow some older Senator to offer a resolution providing for ao investigation betore doing so himself, but shatthe investig @ tion wiil certainly be made, if percis- tency on hispart wil get. a resolution ordering it adopted, No greaver tarce was ever enacted in Washington than the imprisonment of Chapman, the sugar broker, waich was begun this week. “He is supposed to be in prison as a punishment, but there is mighty little punishmeut about it. He has a cosil : fitted up bedrcom and an office adjoining, his weals are pre - pared at a swell hotel, and he has a waitar from ihat hotel aetailed to wait upon him. He receives callers and entertains them all the time, and cin do about anything he could do in hotel except to leave the jail. This is an injurious farce, too, because it in- creases the belief, already too prevaleat that there ia one justice for the wealtny and quite anosher for the poor.

The New Orleans Picayune regards the worst of the flood in the Mississipp! valley as over, and even takes a hope— fal view of the outlook. It says: “All the crop indications are favorable, Ev- en in ¢ae portions of the Mississippi val ley which have been under water there is now a prospect that the water will recede rapidiy enough to permit of a crop being planted. Elsewhere in the valley cotton, though slightly late, is deing well, with every indication of an increased acreage. In the territory im. mediately tributary to New Orleans the crcps all promise very well and the sugar cane crop never was better, as there is not oniy a la’ger acreage under cultivation thaa last year, but the cane is making excellant prog-ess. Rice 1s also doing well, with alarger acreage planted in the nyer s.ctio,, which al- ways furnishes the most reliable crop.” Attention Veterans.
