From May letto July ist I don’t think we have had such a year so far as raingsare concerned since we bave been growing tobacco Eastern Carolina. We had no general rains but every few days we could hear of local showers in different sections, sometimes giving one man a pretty good season and missing the adjcining tarms entirely. This seems to have been the extent of the rain fall through- out Eastern North Carolina fiom May Ist toJuly Ist, and in some sections there was scarcely any rain at all and as a matter of course crops there will in | necessarily be very poor, These local_showers by no means afforded suificient rain for tue crops even where they fell most abundantly and the result was on July Ist the tubacce crops of Pitt and the agjoining counties presented a very poor appear— ance and in fact 1 some sections where the rain fal! had been small it did not look like more than half a crop would be made bus the rains came and the improvement in the crop haa simply been wonderful while the acreage us a matter of course is cut off according to what we have.seen and from what. we can gather from the most reliable | sources at least 2) per cent. | TO BE seams ihecwd we To. te whe Seite vacation wall me Over ia a monte. 1 bia) 5 t% a a bi Mah ean ' ; 1) ‘ he Ue te: Greensooro Evening Te-egram made rtd first appearance Saturfay, It isa six column sheet, handsomely printed and full of news. in accomplishing a profitable purpose, | Epiror RerLectror—I had a splen- did run up from At) nta yesterday, got here at 6 o’clock, tresh and feeling fine.

L. Rider one week ago last night, is shown by the fact that, according to their wishes, the body will not rest in a Talbot county coffin. One of Dr. Ryder’s sisters, Mis. McArthur, made the ~ discovery on Sundav that be had been buried in a casket purchas— ed at Taibottcn, the seat of ‘Tal- bot county. She had the coftin taken up and the remains re- moved to a coffin obtained in this city and the old one returned to the undertakers at Talbotton. The coffin was accompanied by a note from Mrs. McArthur, ex- pressing her regrets for the ir- convenier ce caused, but declari: ¢ that she could not permit her brother's remains to repose in a casket coming from thé county whose citizens had mardered him. The undertaker refused to _ppecept it, saying the purchase had been authorized by the two Ryder brotiers and he will enter suit to recover damages. The lynching of Ryder will be brought before the ‘Valbot grand jury and an effort mate to secure the con- delos. of'the Ivnchera.—Macon,| | nes eis that & lather of} grat to the face and| A RuPLECTOR P and base running ard iability to bit ab) Base Bail. .

Tobacco Szason Begins With Flying Colors, Tie Greenville tobacco atarted the new season with a gocd break,-marked by the old time break and activity. With the uucevtainty of how priccs would be at the opening, the busy time among the farmers, and the dry weather, not much totacco wus looked for on the first day. How- ever, there was enough here for a live— ly sale of nearly three hours, there being from 5,000 to 7,000 pounds in each cf the tour warehouses. Prices awwarket were very much higher than at the opening a year ago end only satistac— tion was heard among the seliers. Che first sala was at the Greenville Warvhouse where “Parson” Evans run the sales with his accustomed vig r. People wonder how a little fellow like L ontalks so much, but h» does it ali the same and don’t fail to be heard from. He pulled prices up to $20 and $20.50 and says just watch bim, The second sale was at the Star where C. D. Rountree und Wiley Brown both run sales and kept the auctioneer watching lively for winks as he sings the climbing bids. Wiley said they just had enough tu g.t him hot good and tune hiin for hollering. Their prices reached $15.25, The Planters had third sale and Ola Forbes didn’t give the grass a chance to grow around prices. His father helved him run the sale, und it was firat and second fiddle going all the time. “That’s just a sumple of what I can do,” said Ola us his highest pile was knocked «ff at $20. : The Ea:t rn c'oset with the fourth sule, *O'd Man Gus” and Olthus Joyner showed iLey were in for Lusi- luese us wu. xe ever and both right at pome runnlu, the sale.
