Showing the Acreage and Condition
of the ‘'obacco Crop as Compared
‘With Last Year.

BY O. L. JOYNER.

Since we published the crop and
ackeage reports two weeks ego from a
number of practical farmers, a few other
]-ttersShave come in and they are pub-
lished herewith. Since the first reports
this writer has traveled over {a good
portion of the tobacco beit and in next
weeks issue when we shall have had an
opporiunit? of seeing the greater par: of
the growing crop as it appears on the
hili and the cures that have been
made we hope to be able to give a very
fair and accurate report of its condition
in detail.

Mr. O. L. JOYNER,
Greenville, N.C.

Dear S1r.—In reply to yours of
July 12th asking how the tobacco crop
will compare with last year: Will say
that the acreage is reduced to 10 per
cent; crop 10 per cent lighter than last
year owing to the dry weather the
past spriag and thus faron the sum-
mer.

Color wi'l be bright and quality
fair.

Curing was begun two weeks ?g0.
Thus far they sre fine, primings only
having been The tendency
among the lacger planters is to curtail
acreage, while with small’or one barn
planters the acreage remains the same.
The crop of 1896 bought so little profit
to the farmezs they were poorly fitted
to make anctker, and ir the present
ercp should be as common and prices
as low the acreage will be much more

Lear Sirn—Replying to your faver
of July 1st 1 would state toat there is
«a reduction in the acreage of the tobacco
crop in this section ot at least 20 per
cent. In regard to the condition of the
growing crop 1 belizve it to be tully
30 per cent below that of last year.
While there are a tew very fine cro) 8
of tobaeco in this section, the majority
of the crops are poor, on account of the
protracted drouth in May and June.

1 have taken some pains to visit ard
talk to the farmers concerning ther
crops and give you my opinion for
what it 18 worth.

Wishing you contirved success I am,

Yours truly,
R. G. CHarman.

Mr O, L. Joyner,

Dear Srir—Yours of Ist instant
received and will cheerfully answer any
question in my power.
In my cpinion the tobacco crep is
cut off in this commmunity nearly one-
fvarth if not more. There are several
tobacco farmers that bave reduced their
crop one. third and some one_ halt.
You very oiten find some that have no
tobacco.

Asto the condition as compered
with last year, as an average I don’t
think it is quite as large, yet it 1s as
high, though we can’t tell what im-
provements it may make beiween this

August 10th, the State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction
saems determined that the elec-
tion shall be held, let the expense
attached thereto be what it may.
The Commissioners of two coun-
ties—Crayen and Halifax—re-
fused to have an election held,
and the Superintendent is
reported as saying that he is
going to have those Commission-
ers indicted. By this kind of a
lash he keeps the otner counties
in live and will cause elections to
be held whether they are wanted

or not.

Philadelphia physician, who was
at first unable to diagucse the
Case.

Aftertwo or three visits, and
upon careful obseryatlons cf his
patient’s symptoms, the doctor
told Collins, that there were liz-
ardsin his stomach. Just what
preliminary treatment was given
could not be learned, as Collins,
acting under the physician’s in-
structions, was uuwiling te di-
vulge the latter's name, explain-
ing that the doctor wished to
make some observatioas of his
own before the matter got into
newspapers. On Friday, howeyer
an emetic was administered, and
on that day relief camé to the
sufferer.

Collins..was 10 bed at the time,
$n one of the second-story rooms
of the house, and his wife was in
the living room down stairs. She
heard the noises occasioned hy
her husband’s distress, and ran
up stairs to find him bending
over a basin, into which the
lizards had heen ejected. A few
were still alive, but the greater
number had apparently been
killed by the man’s efforts to
eject them from his stomach.
Other members of the household
were summoned after Mrs. Coilins
recovered from ber astonishment,
and they attest to the truth of her
story and that of her husband.
Tae attending physiciav, when
informed of the number of iizards,

vation.

How the reptiles got into his
stomach is a mystery to Collins,
who oan only account fer their
presence upon the theory shat he
must have swallowed some of
their spawn when quenching his
thirst at a spring. His health
has been on the mend vinca Fri-
day, and be 1s recovering lost

The following ‘bit of informa
tion concerning our postal ex-
penditures is taken from tke
New York Commercial Adver-
tiser: —

“At firss glance it seems
strange that the postai service of
the United States shou .| cost
¥9,600,000 a year above r. ceipts,
while.that of Great Britain yields
a profit of over $14,000,900, that
ot France nearly $10,000,000, that
of Germany $6,000,000, tuas of
Rassia, $8,000,000 aud thar of
even India and Japan $1,500,000,
About the only other nations
whose postal service dows uot
pay expenses are Canada, Nor-
way, Siam, Chili, Pera, Bolgana
and Bolivia. But light 1s thrown
upon our postal deficiency by the
fact that the United States

monk, visited Chicago during the
World’s fair, he was gxeutly de-
lighted one afternoon to learn that
the ‘‘international beauty show’
wn the Midway plaisance contained
t. East Indian princess. He lost
no time in visiting the show. In
one of the booths wasa dusky dam-
sel arrayed in Kast Indian costume
and prominently placarded as a
charmer from the land of the Gau-
ges,

Vivekananda addressed her polite-

was rewarded by a stare of blank
astonishment. Then he tried Cinga-
lese with no better success, and also
the several allied dialects of the in.
terior provinces of India. At last
the dusky beauty spoko in sheer self
defense:

“Go way, man,’’ she said, ‘You
mus’ be crazy!”

“Excuse me,” remarked Viveka-
nanda, in faultless English, ‘‘but
will you kindly inform mo where
you were born?”’

“Tze born in Savannah, an I'ze
