Ol'B NORFOLK CONNECTIONS.
It is a fact well known that
Norfolk, Va., has been built up, to a
great extent, by North Carolina trade
and men. It is proud of the North
Carolina people in its walls. It is
constantly stretching out its arms and
drawing men and produce that go to
make it one of the leading seaport
cities of the entire coast. Railroads
have been built, whose sole aim was
to draw from this State its staple
products, to shorten the distance ber
tween our people and that city, and
enable our people to take advantage
of better shipping facilities.
We are conscious of the fact that
we should have built some such city
in our own State. Either Wilming
ton or Morehead should have been
such a place as is Norfolk. Perhaps
old Gov. Morehead intended that the
place which bears his name should
be such a city. Perhaps such a
dream may have flitted across his
mind. Perhaps had it not been for
the war, Morehead City would now
be a seaport of no mean dimensions.
But such was not to be.
The chances are that we will never
have a city to equal Norfolk.
But it is useless to wail about what
miirht have been. We started out
o
to write about the nearness of our own
town to Norfolk. Of course every
body here knows that our relations
have always been pleasant, if not
always profitable. The bulk of bus
iness is constantly increasing year by
year. The Norfolk merchants are
looking this wav. The opening of
nr .
the Norfolk & Carolina Railroad gave
a big impetus to the trade of Norfolk
merchants -with our people, as it
brought us nearer together. For
instance, a man can leave here at one
o'clock in the afternoon and four
hours later be in Norfolk. As quick
time and close connection is made
coming back. In addition to this train
authorities have added a "Shoo Fly"
train, which leaves Rocky Mount at
6 o'clock, a. m. daily, arriving in
Norfolk at 10:15. Returning leaves
Norfolk at 2:1 ; o'clock p. m. and
reaches Rocky Mount at 6:25 o'clock,
in time to connect with the fast mail
which reaches here at 7 o'clock.
The Norfolk merchants should ap
preciate this effort on the part of the
road to build up their trade and city
No doubt they do. No doubt they
win make efforts to secure the busi
ness of our people.
And we take - this occasion to re
mind them that they can find no bet
ter medium than the advertising col
umns of The Advance.
THE RUSSIAN FAMINE.
It is now known that the rye crop
of Russia and all European countries
is short. The Czar of Russia last
week issued an order prohibiting the
exporting of grain from his domin
10ns. The other rye-bread eating
countries of Europe will have to look
elsewhere for their bread stuffs
American wheat and corn will be in
great demand. It is thought that
corn will be used in England. The
American farmer will get good prices
for these cereals. Our markets are
in a great state of excitement.
The rye crop in Russia is very
short. A specialsays:
"The minister of finance announces
that thejyield of rye is estimated at
711,000,000 peods, but that owing to
the present supplies being nearly ex
hausted 994,000,000 peods will be
required to supply the wants of the
people 5 and for sowing purposes.
The deficit must be supplied by po
tatoes and maize.
"Owing to the excessive price of
rye, the government has decided to
use wheat in making bread for the
army."
Commenting on the above facts the
Philadelphia Press says:
"The lack of wheat and rye in Rus
sia and the rest of Europe and our
harvest of wheat both prove larger
than was thought Instead of an ex
port of 1 50,000,000 bushels of wheat
an export of 200,000,000 bushels now
seems probable from here and wanted
there. Instead of bringing 93.5 cents
per bushel, as it did last year, or 87.1
cents as wheat exports did on the
average for five years past, it is more
likely to bring something like $1.24
a bushel, which it brought in 1879-80.
"Wheat made a big jump upward
yesterday, and the Western farmers
are happy. The Southern farmers
who buy their flour and raise cotton
wmcii has apparently too little life
tmt to jump again, are probably in
a different frame of mind."
But American . farmers cannot re
joice when they remember the terri
ble suffering of the Russians. Talk
about the need of relief and reform !
Why our people don't know what
suffering is. Just read the following:
A clergyman writes to the Moscow
Gazette from a village in the pro
vince of Kazan, as follows : "Those
who live in towns can hardly form an
idea of all the terrors of the prevail
ing distress among the rural popula
uon. We residents in the country
have opportunities of seeing it at close
quarters in all its telrible power. It
sad to watch the sight presented
by an ordinary sick person, but it is
lar more unbearable to look on at
hungry, famine-stricken, and starving
people. In my parish there are in
dividuals who have gone without
bread for two or three weeks to
gether, and are endeavoring to nour
ish themselves upon grass and leaves
of trees. When they get hold of a
morsel of black bread they do not
eat it themselves, but give it to their
small children." In passing through
through one village this priest found
sixteen persons in the last stages of
enfeeblement and exhaustion from
hunger. One woman of this number
soon after succumbed to starvation.
This village numbered 145 houses,
and in only twenty were the peasants
eating their usual food. The distress
seems to be as great in other villages
of the same district. From other re
ports which are to hand it appears
that there is much excitement among
the peasantry at the prospect before
them.
Let us all thank God that it is as
well with us as it is.
LET'S Q.IJIT.
An exchange tells of a printing of
fice in Kentucky being opened with
praver. This is a rare exception to
the rule, as from time immemorial it
has been the custom for the offices
to be opened by the devil and clos
ed by the sherifl, and sometimes by
way of a variety they are opened
with a cork-screw and closed by
mob. Henderson Tomahawk.
Now what'& the use of publishing
such stuff as the above.
It's rot dead rot.
And on its face a lie.
' They are opened like any other
respectable business and ought to be
so conducted, ine leuow wno is
always throwing off such measly
jokes about his profession ought to
quit. He ought to be the laughing
stock of his patrons. He deserves
to be. Of course he is a failure. No
one has more respect for a man than
he has for himself.
The subscriber who has such so
called wit dished up to him, has ;
right to retaliate with the chestnut
about writing editorial with the shears
and like stuff ad nauseam.
Let's quit.
PURELY
CONFIDENTIAL,
StTME.
WE I'KK-
Col. Polk has been abused so much
bv North Cerolina Democrats that
he has coucluded to run for Governor
next year and test the allegation that
he has been standing: in his own
State. Greensboro North State,
Rep.
Why, certainly.
And, of course, you hope he will.
Now, that it is settled, we want to
know why he selected the leading
Republican paper of the State to an
nounce his determination ?
Curious, aint it ?
When he owns one paper and there
are 147 Democratic papers in the
State who are anxious to publish Col.
Polk's conclusions.
Perhaps he will run. If he does
the Democratic party will have such
able newspapers as the Wilmington
Messenger and the Raleigh News
and Observer to thank for making
him a candidate.
JOB AND DYRENFORTH.
The recent rain-making experi
ments in Texas have set everybody
talking. If man can produce rain,
why can't he prevent it? is the ques
tion not vet answered. The New
York Sun says :
"In the book of Job, chapter
xxxvin., a relerence is made to the
rain-giving clouds, and the question
is asked: "Who can stav the bottles
of Heaven?" (or more literally tansla
ted, the flaeons of the sky.) Gen.
Dryenforth claims to be able to open
the bottles of Heaven with dynamite,
but even he does not pretend to stay
them after being opened. This is
one of the respects in which the Tex
as experiments are unsatisfactory."
NEWS WHEN NEWS AINT NEWS.
Prol. Winston favors the idea of
girls or women or old maids attend
ing the school. Chapel Hill cor.
Durham Globe.
Readers of the Advance know
that Prof. Winston is opposed to co
education. The fellow who wrote
the above is the the freshest of the
gang of freshmen at Chapel Hill this
year. The Globe, which "knows
news when news is news," does not
know lies when lies are lies.
OH, SAY ! TIS NOT TRUE.
Mr. Buder is not a man of piepos-
sessmg presence nor is there much
of the orator in him. Tarboro
Southerner.
In the chaste and classic language
of Artemus Ward) "this is 2 mutch!"
Jn the sweet innocence of our young
and thoughtless way, we had set him
down as a handsome, brilliant man.
and an orator.
Alas, alas !
Why don't some of the editors who
are so anxious about the 13 year old
boy in the penitentiary find out what
he thinks about it. The Advance
holds his parents responsible for his
being there.
It is expected that the pension tax
this year will yield $90,000. Mitchell
was the only county that did not pay
tax last year. All will pay this year.
They have been fighting in Chili,
A., and the President, Balmaceda,
forced to fly from the country. 1 he
war was a bloody one, and clearly
shows the daager of modern warfare.
A special from Washington says:
Army and navy officers have been
watching closely the military features
of the insurrection in Chili, and the
arms have been carefully examined
by the authorities in this country. It
appears that it was the Mannlicher
gun, loaded with cartridges the size
of cigarettes charged with a first
cousin to gun cotton and sending a
ball nearly two inches long and three
tenths of an inch thick against Bal
maceda's troops at the rate of from
forty to sixty per minute from each
an, that did the business for the in-
surgent troops, me long, sicuua,
hard pointed bullets were of steel,
covered with a thin coat of copper,
the soft metal being designed to fol
low the rifling of the barrel more ac
curately and with less wear to the
gun than the naked steel would make.
Single bullets went through two or
three men at the time."
Right quick please add to the
"Freaks" on first page of a recent
issue of the Advance the following
gem from the Public Ledger: Mr. W.
H Currin who resides near Providence
discovered that his chickens were
disappearing, and he concluded he
would try and find out where they
went to. He discovered tracks
around the chicken house and fol
lowed them to a hole in the ground
not far from dwelling. He investigat
ed said hole and found an oppossum
and pulled him out and fastened it,
and making another dive hauled out
another and continued until he had
pulled out 13. It was not a good
day for opossums either." And
then follow with the followiug from
the Oxford Day: "A fine bronze
turkey gobbler was missed for a day
or two and found in the corner of a
barn where he had made a nest and
was setting on five horse apples. Mr,
Reed has also a Plymouth Rock hen
that flans her wines and crows like a
l , ,
rooster." .
Jerry Simpson, the Third Party
organizer, gets $50 for every speech
he makes. He said in his Charlotte
speech that the negro was as good
socially and morrally as the white
man. We imagine such an utterance
will be costly to the Alliance, and
dear at any price. The color line
will never again be drawn in North
Carolina, as it once was, but white
men of the State will never submit
to neero domination whatever is
said or done ; that is eternally fixed
What will we hear next? The
latest is a special from Kingston,
Ont, that says : " There is great
religious excitement at Sydenham,
a village near Kingston. The action
of the Free Methodists in the village
hall created so much disorder that
they were put out of the building
They then returned to a vacant field,
where a 'corset meeting' was held
1 t- 1
j Donnre was started, ana women
threw their corsets on the blaze, cry
ing, 'We will die as God made us.'
The question, "Is Drunkenness a
Disease ?" is still unsettled. But Dr
D wight, of Keely, N. Y., treats it as
a disease, and more than that he is
curing his patients. Bi-chloride of
gold is the agent used. Men who
for fifteen or twenty years have been
addicted to the habit, have been
cured completely. The medical
world are discussing the matter. As
usual) some ridicule and some believe.
A Georgia editor says: "The
longer we run a newspaper aud write
about people, the more we realize
how impossible it is to scratch every
man on the right spot:" Well, if he
would print the news and let people
do their own scratching, perhaps he
would reach the attainable and give
satisfaction. Scratching people
not an editor's business.

A statement is going the rounds to
the effect that a number of Russian

tne K.oanoKe Dottoms. lnis is a
mistake, an effort was made a month
ago to procure Hebrew families
for Warren county but not for the
Roanoke country. Bnt even this
scheme has been abandoned so far as
Jews are concerned, and a movement
is now on foot to procure English
immigrants. A syndicate has secured
control of 50,000 acres of land, most
ly in Warren county, and are negotiat
ing with a firm for English families.
It is not known yet when this scheme
will be consummated, if at all, as its

The County Cemmissioners were
in session yesterday ana transacted
their regular business of making al

at the Home for the Aged and Infirm.
Besides the regular business there
was, on motion of B. H. Bunn, Esq.,
Attorney for some citizens of the
vicinity of the Rocky Mount Mills, an
order issued that the Sec. and Treas.
of said mills be cited to appear be
fore the Board of Commissioners at
their next meeting, Monday Uct. 2,W

of property listed by the mills should
not be revised and corrected. The
claim as best we understand it, is
that the mills, while this stock is
above par and paying a dividend,
have listed property for a great deal
less than its value.

great good to Nash County and Eas

The Editors Won.
One of the libel cases of ex-
Congressman Brower against the
editors of the Reidsville Review was
tried in Surry Superior Court last
week and resulted in the acquitted of
the defendants. The other two cases-L
were then nol. prosed as was also a
case against Mr. Joseph Bradfield.
Referring to the case against the
editors of the Review the Mt. Airy
News says : "It will be remembered
in this connection that the charge
upon which the editors of the
Review won this signal victory is
the very same one upon which they
offered and made a compromise at
the spring term of Guilford Superior
Court, at the same time publishing a
disclaimer as to the authorship of
the charge. This course was pur
sued by them, we understand, for
private reasons only. Mr. Gilliam's
mother being an invalid at home
alone in a critical condition, he
consented to settlement outside of
court to relieve her of suspense and
anxiety. She died a short time
afterwards."

(SPECIAL COR. THE ADVANCE.)
Higgston, Ga., July 12th Guess
my letter will be as welcome from
Ga., as it would be from my home in
North Carolina, so I will write again
ajrid give you a few items of what I
have learned of Ga., in two months
time.
Perhaps it will be interesting to
some of your readers who have read
so often the praises of Bill Arp on
Ga., that "me too" must join in the
praises of her hospitable people, fer
tile soils majestic looking forests,
pretty towns, and home contente like
residences dotting here and there the
country.
But in truth I haven't seen a town
that would vie with Wilson altogether
such neat and prettily arranged
yards and handsome, tastily built
houses as are in Wilson would be
hard to find anywhere. Though
here with the expectation of making
Ga., our home, I feel as Hon. Zeb
Vance expressed himself on one oc
casion in Vance county when he
said :
"For me,there are no plains so fair,
no valleys so lovely, no mountains so
grand, no waters so bright, as those
of North Carolina. ' For me there is
no land whose people are so brave, so
upright, so tender and true, so
abounding in all the virtues of nobili
ty and truth."
While other lands are fair and
other people are noble and true,
still to an absentee from the child
hood's old home, while the mind is
busy, continually filling up the mem
ories casket with pleasant gems of
the past, to such an one there is no
place like home their native land.
And, dear Editor, those of you in
North Carolina whom I have known
by reputation only, would be wel-,
corned as dear friends could I meet
with them now. Our new friends
and associations have been very
pleasant in Ga., so far. Our little vil
lage of Higgston, in Montgomery
county, is about six months old. We
have a church, parsonage, school
house and good school going on,
sawmill, turpentine still, two mercan
tile houses, a good many residences
and buildings still going up. Mr. J.
E. Grady, the leading man of the
place, is from N. C. For fear my
letter will be too long, will stop and
write again if you wish to hear from
this part of Ga. again.

Suelng His Sweetheart for Flirting.
St. Paul, Aug., 29. Social cir
cles of the twin cities are on a broad
smile over the remarkable suit
brought by Tohn W. Turner of
Minneapolis, against Miss Ella Ter
willinger, a pretty brunette of 20
summers. The suit is for $5,000
damages, and the young man claims
this amount on the ground that the
young lady is a common flirt. Re
ferring to his case, Mr. Turner said
to-day with great warmth :
"This is not a breach of promise
case, but a case for damages. I don't
like flirting, and I am going to show
the people that this country is a very
unhealthy one for that kind of busi
ness. I have been fair with the girl.
I told her that I detested flirting and
when I commenced to keep company
with her I told her that I did it with
the intention of marrying her, and
had every reason to believe she in
tended to marry me. Now she has
gone to flirting with other people,
and I intend to punish her for it."
