more good than harm may come to all

any of our patrons. A newspaper does 
not necessarily endorse the business of

do nothing more than the secular press

We do not question the right of the

a matter for it to decide for itself. We 
object, however, to its statement that

there are two dozen secular newspapers 
in North Carolina that would insert a 
saloon advertisement. The times does 
not wish to pose as a than

Eastern, in every respect

This is indeed a time for a 
business involving g much as the 
Greenville tobacco market contains. 
But surprise was that under all 
circumstances there were such 
prices uniformly in all the houses and 
all bad good breaks. However, 
greater surprise than nil other.; was the 
conspicuous absence of the business men 
and merchants of the town, only two 
or three lending even their presence to 
the occasion. Who are most in.

Now this is written in all kindness 
and only to the of our 
people t. importance of giving to 
the tobacco interest their moral and 
business support. It is a well 
fact that the town of Greenville, and 
every av of business and trade in 
it, is greatly by the tobacco 
market. The greater interest there is 
manifested in building of Greenville 
and her markets, the more it will be 
felt by all. It makes a better and wiser 
merchant lo go out and be on mark- 
et. The people the interest and

Holes m the for Speed. 
The statement of an Italian cap 
that he had proved by experience 
that a ship goes faster when her sails 
are a number of holes 
t a when they are quite s was 
looked upon as ridiculous 
however, 
now find I hat Italian has gone a 
lone way toward proving his case. 
theory is that the force of wind 
cannot fail take effect on an inflated 
sail, because the cushion of 
air that up the hollow. To 
prevent this cushion collecting, he 
bored a number boles in the sail, 
which let part of the wind blow right 
through and allowed the to 
strike against the canvas and exercise 
its full effect. Several trials have been 
made, and ii looks as if Ibis is another

pears impossible on the surface. 
The experiments were made in all 
weathers. In a light wind a boat with 
ordinary .-ails made lour knots, while 
with i sail she coursed 
five and a quarter knots ; in a fresh 
breeze she did seven knots with 
nary sails, and eight and 
knots with the improved sails; in a 
strong wind she did eight knots and 
knots respectively. If this 
speed sustained through- 
out a long voyage would increase the 
value or the one-filth, as she 
would make same trip in lour 
weeks that she did before in five
