Leiters from Prominent Farmers Con- cerning the 1897 Crop. ’ BY O. L, JOYNER. Below will be tound additional let- ters bearing on the tobacco crop ard acreage. WiLLow Green, N. C., July 6, ’97. OQ. L. Jorner, Esq., Greenville, N.C. Dear Sia; —Yours received. I think it a good idea, Fheré is a decrease in the acreage in this section of at least 25 percent if not more. .Drouith has damaged the vrop at least 3) per cent; in some sectiors of the county the damage by drouth is at least 50 per cent. I was in Snow Hill Monday and saw farmers from all parts ct the coun ty and they all agree that the tubacco crop is very poor. Should the rains set in now Tam of the opinion that there wuld be but little change in some of the tobacco crops in ths county. I ‘heard a yery prominent farmer say the rain could not do his crop any good now, it was too far gone. Taking the ercp as a whole in my county itis very poor. 1 don’t think I should miss it far were I to say there will not be over half a crop made in this county. During the month of June we had but very little rain. Some of the farmers commenced priming last week. It can’t be ripe, it is just parched up from the drouth, F. T. Carr, OrmcnpsviLe, N. C., July 7, 97 Mr. O. L. JOYNER, Greenville, N. C. Deak Sir:—Replying tc your in- quiry of July Ist, as to the reduction in the acreage and the condition of the tobacco crop in our section as compared with last year of this date: We wiil have to say that the comparison is s0 wide that it may seem incredible. We think the decrease must be as much as 20 per cent. and the~ condition is, tar below last year, as much ia our opinion as 33 per cent and seme cages: 00 per cent caused by the continued cool jextreme dryness, causing premaiure growth and forcing the plant to the barns without life or size to the leei, and if rain does not come soon it will be hard to tell what the result will be. TurnaGe & GRMOND. Farmvitze, N. C., July 8th, ’97, O. L. Joyner, Esq., Greenville, N. C. Dear Sir:—Your letter of a, fow days ago to hand and I woula have an- swered sooner but have been makin some inquiries among the furm rs so as t> enable me to better answer your question. In reply would state that the, acreage in (0 tobavcy is dully., 20 per ‘cent ghort from last, year, . while the condition of present crop could ‘not possibly be less than 25 it not 83} short of last year, owning perhaps to the late cold spring and the recent drought, and I might add that if we have no rain soon the tobacco will sui- ter all the more tor itisa crop that improves fust or fails fast according to the seasons. ‘There are several barns where the furnace fires. will nut be lighted at all this year aud without better prices than we've had the past two years there will be many more unused in the years to come. “W.

It seems to be understood that the influence which called and dominated the Populist confer- ‘ence which has been in session at Nashviile, Tenn. this week, will contrel the next Populiet national convention. This con- ference minimized the importance ofthe silyer question, and showed the long-time Populist friendli- ness for the issue of large quan- ties of irredeemable paper money It declared also for the “initia tive and referendum” and the “imperative mandate, ’ and against fusion with any otLer party: It has allthe while been char- acieriatic of the leaders of the Populist party that whenever they thought they were wbovt to get what they were clamoring for they suddenty discovered that they didn’t wantthat but some- thing else. They haye brought the Democratic party to its knees on the silver question, and urless there is a radical recovery from the present condition of popular discontent, the free silyer prop- osition will prevail in the e:ection of 1900. Now the Populist lead- ers do not want. anything that can be bad. LPhey flourish by stirring up the people and exciting their hopes of impossible | things. Hence we have occasion: ally tound them saying that free silver is only one of our reforms —as much asto suggest that it was a very small one at that; anu now this Nashville conference has practically relegated it to the This conference and the at- titude taken upon the coinage question, will, itis not unlikely, exercise a far reaching influence vpon the future of the Populist party, and perhaps upon the future of politica in the country at large. There are a great many honest Populists who be- lieve in free silver with all their hearts, and thes3, seeing them- gelyes separated from those of their brethren of whom the Nashville conference was repre- sentatiye, must in reason connect themselves with the Democratic party. They sould expect bat little from a unitea Populist party, sofeeble was it at best. With the party split in two no hope of its accomplishing any- thing whatever caa be entertained The free silver Democratic party | may therefcre. reasonably. loox for large accessions from honest: Popuiiets who really want free silver, and slong with these will come trooping 4 lot of leaders who want to get back anyway— they have cropped all the grass the Popplist pasture; and are bg for new fields. Whether | reer ts will: come in as ~ members of the free silver Den atic party or ¥ their 9-0 n throug fusion, the result the proceedings at Nashvilie. As for the Nashviile element, it wi! conduct a side stow through the next campaign, Or perbaps tke next two campaigns, after which it will go out of business. Char- lotte Observer. acnnemnemmseanemanceseammenit Lt Violates the Constitucion. Will you kindly publish in your columns the following cril- cism on the Act to encourage local {axation for public Schools” chapter 421 of the 1897, and is on page 605 of said acts as pub- lished. The preamble reads as follows: “Whereas, This General As-- sembly has, by raising the rate of school tax from 18 to 20 cents already provided an increase of $50,000 to the , common schoo! fund of the State. “Now as the Supseme Court has decidea that section 3 of the Ravenue Act, which raised the school tax from 18 to 20 cents was unconstitutionnl aud void, this preamble becomes an 1ncor- rect statement of fact and falls to the ground. “2, The money to pay the $500 bonus cannot constitutionally be taken from the general fund, because the constitution in ex- press terme forbids it. Section 7, Article 5, says every act of the General Assembly levying a tux shall state the special object to which it is to be applied, and it shall be applied to NO OTHER PURPOSE. 3. “It cannot come ;trom the funds of the State Board of Education, for chapter 12 of the Acts of 1897 appropriates that fond in amounts ot $50, $75 and $100 to such rural districts as may vote to tax themselves. “There ie, therefore, no pos~ sibility that the townships voting this tax can receive the %900. They may get $50, $75 or $100— —vuhder chapter 127—but no more. “Let the canvassers state plain facts to the people. As education ia the topic 1 venture two suggestions. Lei the State Board of Examiners require a kuowiedge of the fundemental principles of the Constitution trom all applicants for State certificates as teachere. 2. That the principles of each and every school receiving aid from the State be required to teach the Constitution at some stage of the curiculum. It is our only hope in the future. —John M. Galloway, in Raleigh News and Observer. TS Ola Time Sunday Melon Sales. “A man would hardly imagine that negroes used to crowd around that elegant church and sell watermellons on Sunday,” said H. T. Powell, the well known banker, yesterday. He referred to Mulberry Street Methodist church, one of the finest church buildings in Macon. “But it’s a fact,” continaed Mr. Powell. “I'm not ap o1d man [and overybody in the crowd looked with ad- miration at his tail, erect figure], bat I can remember those scones as well as if they were yesterday. “Ttwas before the war, when all the slave-owners allowed their industrious slaves an acre or so of land on which to raise water- meloné or anything they ‘chose. The negroes were given every Saturday afternoon to tend their melon patches, and on Sundays were allowed to hitch a mule to} a wagon and take their melons and other produce around to churches, cainp meetings, or else- very common thing to see a man stop at a negro’s watermelon pile whether. it sae sell them. It was a | will be the same: REY Chicago ‘| Democracy is strengthened by now so much discussed. lt is! select a melon, pay for it, put it in his buggy and drive home after church; and indeed children melons from the slaves and eat them during the time between Sunday school and preachirg. “In those days masters took great interest in the industry and enterprise of their slaves, and did everything they could to encoui~ agethem. obody ever thought | of objecting to or interfering wiih ‘the negroes in their Sunday tra!- fic.’—Macon Lelegraph. ee A Bt Louis dispatch, telling of Sunday’s heat in that city, says that ‘one man could not endure it, and hanged himself in a cool cellar. Another slept by a window, dreamed he was a diver and plunged three stories, Still another man walked into the river and fougnt when he was fished out as a supposed suicide.” The poor devils! We, in this kindly climate, think we suffer from heat in such weather as the past week has brought us, but the dwellers in the cities can giye us points.
