The accident was caused by a little brother pi the boy playing with a rifle which had been carried out of the house for the purpose of killing hogs and evidently been placed back in the house without unloading same. The little fellow who did the shooting was pranking with the rifle, and upon \Aubrey's entering the room leveled the gun on him and fired, not having any idea the same was loaded. The ball took effect just below the right ribs and passed thro gh to the back.

We take pleasure in publishing such itatementa as aboye and, only wish we sould get mote of them. Franklin county truly needs more such farmers as these. Regard Ins: Tobaeeo. We have received from Mr. Davis, of Mouksville, N. CX, a letter regarding the carting of tobacco, and feeling that it may be of wome benefit to the tobacbo . growers in this section, we reproduce it here, as follows: Editor The Times, Louisburg, N: C. My Dear Sir:?I was talking to a man from Franklin county recently and lie told me of your paper. I thought I would drop you a few lines aboat tobacco. Forty-six years ago I began growing the weed. A years later I decided, or, rather discovered, that there were certain dates upon which to cut tobacco in order for it to have a heavy body and cure up "oily" and "waxy." To explain,'I'll say that tobaeco has a sap, Ss a tree, and tobacco also has, at intervals, an oily substance which is'its natural possession. When the sap (water) rises in tobacco it runs the oil out through the pores of tbe leaf (oil and water won t mix) and tobacco, if cut then, will cure up mean and will be only "chaff." But cut tobacce when full of oil it will cure up with the oil in it, as it can't evaporate and remains to make the tobacco oily and heavy Pafmenrhave experienced cutting tobacco one week and have excellent luck and then cut off the same piece of ground a few daya later and have entirely different luck. Mr. Editor: As I live in Western North Carolina, 1 would be pleased to correspond- with any tobacco grows*, upon this Subject in your county or Eastern Carolina. I ask that they include postage for reply. . Yours truly, D, v. Davis. R. F. D., No 3, Mocksville, N.
