UNION MEETING, SATURDAY EVENING SESSION, The question for consideration at this Session was “Baptists and Kducation.” The discussion was opened by Mr. E. E. Hilliard, of Scotland Neck, who made an exceedingly fine address, He pointed out the rapid educational prog- ress that had been made by Baptists during the last twenty-five years, show" ing that the ministry and layity had reached a far higher standard tban previously existed, He said other denominations had made progress along the same line but his subject contired him to the work of the Baptists partic— ularly. . Ex-Gov. I’, J. Jarvis spoke interest— ingly on the same subject, and in the course of his remarks paid the Baptists a high cumplimens. He sad he could muke the assertion unhesitatingly that the Baptists had done more for educa tional advancement than any other de- nomination, and possidly more than all others combined. Dr. R. ‘lt. Vana ofered a vote cf tnanks to the people of Greenville for enteztaining the Union and mention d the pleasure the meeting here had afforded. , The committee appointed to select place and preachers for the next meet- ing of he Union recommend that as the next fitth Sunday would fall ata time when many of the ministers are erfgaged in pro.tacted services, the mesting be omitted then and no other meeting be held until the fell, This was adopted and the Union then ad- journed. Sunday Services, Sunday was an interestiag und en- joyable day to the people of Gree nville, At the Methodist church in the moru- ing Rev. N. M. Watson preached xn able sermon on the duties of church members. It was especially appzopri- ate to those just being received into the membership of the church and strengthening to thos? already in the Master’s sevice. Atnight Rev. G. L, Finch, of Williamston, preached in the sam: church and all present pronounce his sermon an excellent one. The palpit of the Baptist. church was filled beth morning and evening by Dr. R. T. Vann, of Scotland Neck. Large | congregations heard him at both services and were delighted with his sermons. There are fey ministers possessing the ability ot Dr. Vann and he is always heard gladly. His sermons leave a stronz _lapress‘on for good. At 4 o’olock in the afternoon a Sun- day school mass meeting was held in the Baptist church. This meeting was presided over by Mr. W. F. Harding wao proved an admirable selection for this duty. His introductory remarks and presentation of the different speak — ers were haopily expresssd. Addresses were made by Rev. G. L. Finch, ex Goy. T, J. Jarvis, Mr. E. E. Hilliard and Mr. A, G. Cox. These addresses were all ot a high order, covering the different textures of Sunday school work and the vast good they are doing to the world, both in winning souls tor Christ and in creating a higher type of citizecship. Briel remarks were also made by Messrs. A.B Ellington and C. D. Rouncree. ; The entire services of the day were instructive and ed tying. Joining the Churches, Sunday morning twelve persons uni- ted withthe Methodis tchurch,and seven were received in the Baptist church :s candidates for baptism.

The history ofthe slow but sure aid steady growih of the Greer- _ ville tobacco market has too often ‘been given to be unfamiliar or require a repetition of its prog- ress in the course of this article, except to show the regularity and unifor.rjity of each years grovth. The first year the Greenyille market sold two hun- ‘dred and twenty five thousand pounds with one warehouse and one prize house. The second year with two warehouses and two prize houses It gold one mil- lion two hundred and twenty five thousand poands. Third year 4 third warezouse and two or three * prize houses were built and this year very near two and a_ half million pounds were marketed in Greenville. The fourth year fourth warehouse and several more prize houses were built, gdnfidence in | beginning to be established and thd opposition that was at first oferei begun to give way to en gqouragement and ths year the market sold nearly, or to be more accurate there were sold on the fourfjfloors a fraction over four million nine hundred thousand pounds. The past year with a good many added improvements over the preyious year wend in- ereased facilities for handling the crop, there were handled in Greenville oyer a million pounds more than the year before. Thus it can be seen that while we bave not made altogether as rapid growth as is claimed by some of our neighbor markets we haye succeeded at best in buila ing on a solid basis one of, if not the best bright tobacco markets in. the State. A very “noticbable feature in developing the market is the fact that nearly all those interested have built theirown houses and own them’ which increases the interest, if possible, in developing any eater- prise, for with their own money invested it is but natural that their energies should be increased: Thus far I have spoken only of the past growth of the market.| ~ Now a word as to the futme. P chased from Reference has recently been ‘made that other improvements ‘would be added during the sum- mer forthecomingcrop. Messrs. B.E. Parbam & Co. have pur- : Mr. J. R.

T. Hook. er and CO. M.Bernard for remodel- ing their huge factory. This house 18 now one of the largest in the east and when the remodeling haa beer completed it will be one of the most convenient. The firm of T. E. Roberts & Co. will change the style of their firm name at this place and hereafter it will be Roberts & Ficxlen. Thev expect to equip this fac- tory with machinery for steam drying and stemming and Mr. Ficklen tells me that they will be prepared to do double the busi- ness that they have been doing, that this firm is one of the largest buyers here it amounts to some- thing for Greenville. [asked Mi» Ficklen what his candid jude- ment was about prices for the growing crop. His ynequivocal reply wasthat all grades. of \o- bacco, except probably the very common, would be better tnis year. Herather seemed to think that good wrappers would be in better demand at better prices than any other particular grade, but said he thinks cutters and smokers, too, will seil better this fall that for some time past. This is moet encouraging, for generally speaking for some time past dea} _ ers nearly everywhere have been disposed to be despondent about the future pricss and it is very gratifying to this writer indeed to hear such a hopeful expression from one who onght tu be in pretty close touch with the trade. I hava not been able to see Mr. P. H. Gorman to know detinitely whether any additional improve- ments will be madein his factory- His 18 already the most conye nient factory here. ast year they put in steam and remodeled the whole factory making it modern in every ‘ particular. With these improvements the capacity of the Greenville market will have been increased several million pounds and with Green- ville selling, as it truly does, the finest bright tobacco grown in the world, there seems to be no doubt ofthe great possibilities in store for her in the next few years. amen nnsaces Ses tine , ba —— . LESSON ON ECONOMY. comers ttre What One Enorgetc Woman De2s— There Shou'd Be More Like Her. An incident occured here on Satar— day which we feel almost sate in saying is without a parallelin the county. A lady came to town that day and made some purchases at one of our stores. She said she has been married 19 years, has lived all time within four mi'es of Greenville, her tamily numbers ten persons, but this was the first time she had ever been in a store and pur. chased an article. When questioned more fully she stated that she had made at home all the cloth her family needed, that her husband raised hi, own supplies, that they never had to buy anything except hats, shoes, sugar, coffee. and the few things they could not make or raise at home. She said that while the women of the coumry had largely abandoned the practice of making cloth she had kept it up and found that she could easily meet the needs of her family in tpt particular. She did this to help her husband along this The merchant was very much im- pressed by the woman’s statement and told her he desired to present her with| a dress as a reward for her industry. He is well acquainted with her husband and. knows from his habits she had} made a true statement of their manner of living. The man never buys what does buy the cash is paid for. Such cuses as'this are so rare as be remarkable. ‘It was not a good day} tobacco ‘stalks. ‘corn, grass, and other spinning wheel and loom of our moth- ers and grandmythers was hushed. Could there bea return of these times when the farm produced what the family consumed ard the good women made what was worn you would hear of fewer mortgages on the farm and the hard times croaker would lose his occupation. ‘vobacco Stems as Fertilizers. Ce am Tobacco stems supply both nitrogen and potash. These stems must not be confused with Stems are the midribs of the leaf that are dis- carded when the leaf is cut into wrappers or stemmed tor the English markets. They are largely employed in fertilizing tobacco fislds; also potatoes, potash feeding crops. Stems vary con- siderably in analysis, according to the quantity of sand and water presept- American Agriculturist in this connection gives the fol- lowing information : Tobacco stems are usually a good purchase at $10 per ton. Kentucky stems contain about 25 per cent. water, 62 per cent. organic and volatile matter, in- cluding 1.8 per ct-nitrogen and 13 per cent. mineral matter, of which about 8 per cent. is potash and 1 per cent.is phosphoric acid. Seed leaf stems are usualiy drier, con- taining about the same quantity of nitrogen and phosphoric acid, but one-fourth less potasa. Av with ajl coarse material, stems should be applied very early in the spring, and the better plan is to plow them under in the fall. They supply both nitrogen and potash and are as well suited to the tobacco crop. They are so popular in the Connecticut valley } that all the stems available have): been used, and before the season} for selling closed—about June 10} —each year has found the dealers with their stocks exhausted and their late orders wafilled, from 3,000 to 5,000 tons of stems being used aunuaily.—Danville Tobacco Journal, ee Usual Result of Thawing Dynamite.

Time .after time the bill was rendered, but there was no response, and finally Mr. X., as he.chanced to have other busi- ness taking him beyond the Mason and Dixon line, decided to call at the hause of his debtor in New Or- leans and see if he could get some satisfaction for his clan. On his. arrival there he found that his debtor was in a bad way finan- cially anil had but littk: money, al- ‘for the billdue him almost demand- ‘over every cent_to me and not steal /can continue partners in the busi- | ness, or you can buy me out, If you |. do not want to make any promises | x ‘three cabs and as many teams, and | 4C allowed him full anasageragat of | 46 the business. So well did Jim take care of the | bill a negro named Jim, a very bright fellow and considered to be worth fully $1,500. Jim was an ex- pert horseman, and through all his life had been working in the stables of his master. Mr, X. was in a quandary. His abolitionist ideas prevented him from being aslave owner, but his natural anxiety to receive something ed that he should accept the slave as payment. Finally a bright idea suggested itself, and he called the negro to him. “Now, Jim,’’ said he, ‘‘I am going to be your new master. I do not want to live here in the south and look after you, nordo I wish to take you to the north with me. NowI’ve been thinking of this plan: Will you be honest, sober and attentive to business if I set you upin the cab trade in this city? Will you turn from me? If you promise, I will set you upin business, and when you send me the money that you earn I will eredit half of it to you. When your half of the money above all ‘the expenses amounts to $1,200, you ican buy your freedom, and then we or if you will not keep the promises that you may make, I will sell you, ter,” Jim, of course, promised, and what is moro remarkable, he kept his word.
