i
v We copy the following from the j
Women's Edition of the Southern
Tobacconist:
Reidsville Breaks for the week
have been light with active, steady de
mand for all tobaccos, and prices have
been well sustained.
Henderson The seasons ' of late
have been favorable, we hope for
much improvement in the growing
crop, and that the outcome may be
a large supply of good tobacco for
the next season. .
Rocky Mount- Market opened
fairly well last week, prices and breaks
both being good. The tobacco men
here will whoop up the market at a
lively rate this season, and expect to -
sell 7,000,000 pounds of the golden
weed.
Warrenton Some very desira
ble stocks are being held here by our
dealers, and I think they will make
some good profits before many moons, j
Why? I think I hear you say.
Well, because I look for a very ir
regular crop this year. "
Oxford We have had fine sea
sons, and the growing crop of tobacco
is doing very nicely. While the crop
is not as far advanced as usual at this
season of the year, we trust with good
seasons from 'now on our buyers will
have a nice crop to handle next sea
son. Raleigh Receipts light, as old
crop seems to be about exhausted.
The growing crop is in exceptionally
fine condition 'and promises an unu
sual yeild of fine brights, if seasons
are favorable for curing. The tobac
co crop in our section has happily
escaped injury from the recent wind
and rain storms.
Nashville Two big warehouses
for the salei of leaf tobacco are now un
der construction, and will be ready for
the new crop. Nashville is situated
in one of the finest tobacco growing
sections of the State in fact in the
very heart of the famous Nash county
tobacco districts. These warehouses
will be able to control a very large
section of country.
Tarboro As announced in a pre
vious issue of the Southerner the to
bacco market will open on the 4th
day of September, 1895. It was great
news to our people last week when it
was officially announced that the Cen
tral warehouse had been leased. Mr.
George B. Hughes, the new proprie
tor, has for several years been the
proprietor of the Riverside Ware
house, the largest warehouse in Louis
burg. ,
Greenville- The present season
opens auspiciously. Still another
warehouse has been built, and anotjier
increase in sales assured. The grow
ing crop in the surrounding country
is large and fine ; cures have com
menced ; primings are already com
ing in, and with live, - energetic men
in charge of the market and fine fa
cilities for handling the weed a pros
, perous, season is confidently expected.
The tobacco market opened here
August 1 st. "The sales began in the
Star warhouse which had the most
tnhxrm and it sold well, next the
Planters, then the Eastern and last,
the Greenville. We could not get
the number of pounds sold, but it was
estimated at from 12,000 to 15,000
pounds, of which the Star sold fully
half.
The average price of tobacco on
this market for the last four years has
been 10 cents a pound.
STICK TO THE FARM,
A writer in the American Agricul- j
turaiisi eives mis huvilc uj wiuh-ij
about to retire irom active work :
I "Did you ever notice how invari
ably the farmer leaves the iarm as
soon as he has it paid ior and every
I thing in good running order, to go
to the city to live? A bad mistake.
! I know several who have done this
to their sorrow. Unless a farmer is

remain on the farm. Let them visit
the city oftener, attend church,
operas, etc., and balls occasionally
and they would not be so fascinated
with city life, Have your children
educated as well as you can aftoid ;
you will find it money well invested,
Every young man who intends to
farm should, if possible, take a course
at an -agricultural college."
The Poor Not Growing Poorer.
While it is entirely true that the
business methods of the past thirty
years have tended to increase enor
mously the fortunes of a few, and
thus to widen the srulf between the
1 j
very rich and the v'ery poor, it is j
wholly untrue that the poor as a class
are either absolutely or relatively
poorer than before. Indeed, the
number of small but comfortable
homes in every part of the country,
as well as the reports of savings-banks
and building and insurance associa
tions, prove incontestably that the
poor have shared in the prosperity of
the rich, and that the average stand
ard of comfort was never higher than
at present. Indeed the average
workingman of to-day lives better
and posesses more of the comforts of
life than the average noble of six
hundred years ago. The sins of
wealth,! though many and grevious,
have not generally been aimed at the
oppression 01 the poor

Goldsboro is to have a warehouse
"or the sale of. leaf tobacco. The
stockholders of the Tobacco Ware-
hovse Company met at the Mayor's
office Tuesday night and elected the
following officers: Chas. Dewey, Pres
ident; B. M. Privett, Vice;-President;.
Chas. N. Edgerton, Sect etary and
Treasurer.
The Wake County Farmer's Alii-
ance decided at its last meeting- to
have a basket picnic and barbecue at
Cary, on Thursday, August 1. It
is desired to have a day of festivity
and pleasure after the work of the
session.
There is said to be hybrid cotton
growing in Harnett county that bears
about three times as many bolls as
the average stock of cotton. Its lint
js of fine quality and resembles the
Sea Island lint. Sanford Express.
Old Captain Pace is hustling, as
usual. We notice in the Greenville pa
per that his house, "The Star," sold
fully one half the entire opening break
although there were three other
houses.
While in Chicago, Mr. Charles L.
Kahler, a prominent shoe merchant of
Des Moines, Iowa, had quite a serious
time of it. He took such a severe cold
that he could hardly talk or navigate,
but the prompt use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy cured him of his cold
so quickly that others at the hotel who
had bad colds followed his example
and half a dozen ordered it from the
the nearest drug store. They were
profuse in their thanks to Mr. Kahler
for telling them how to cure a bad cold
so quickly. For sale by E. M. Nadal,

Currency, bat Not Weak Eiquor.
Confederate X IIoads
(Which i3 in the s.tate of Kentucky),
Jan.. 22, 1878.
I ain't bo certain that I want the sil
ver bill to pass ez I wuz. The fact is,
the thing don't work ez I s'posed it
wood, and I ain't clear on to it. There
is Buttle principles in these finanshel
questions w'ich requires a great deel uv
thought, and there is underlyin prin
ciples w'ich a man has got to understand
afore he is competent to set hisself up
ez authority.
One thing I am certain uv Bascom
ain't no finanseer, nor never will be,
and I told him so.
"Wat is a finanseer?" asked he.
"A finanseer," sed I, assoomin the
look of Dan'l Webster, "is a man w'ich
kin pay his debts with nothin a man'
w'ich kin git suthin with nothin."
"The Corners, then, is full of finan
seers," he remarkt bitterly, castin a
casual glance at his slate w'ich wuz jist
full enuff to turn over and begin on the
t'other side.
But he hezn't any uv the science uv
it I wuz argooin with him the other
day in favor uv my noshun uv a leather
currency, though I told him silver wuz
much the same thing, and, for example,
I would assoom that silver wuz to be
the currency uv the fucher.
"Now, don't you see, Bascom, that ef
I hed twict ez much money, I .cood
drink twict ez much whisky and pay
for it?"
"How much is twice nothin?" wuz
the tmfeelin anaer uv the tyrant who
holds the destinies uythe Corners in his
hands. ' ' Tha fc's w 'at your capitloliez bin
ever fierce I-knowd you."
4 4 Parson , " sed he, "I don 't pee w 'at
earthly difference it's goin to make
whether silver is currency' or anything
else. How are youa-goin to git silver ef
i it is. made legal tender? Ef silver wuz
ez plenty ez bricks, w'at hov you
rot to
git any uv it with?"
"Troo, G. W.,'
"but can't yoo see
wuz my anser,
that to hev silver
wood releeve the dettor class? Even
now, afore it is legal tender, it's only
wuth 92 cents on the dollar, and when
the country is flooded with it it will go
still lower. Then we, or rather sich uv
us ez hev property to raise money on,
kin pay off."
,4Eggsactly so," retorts Bascom;
"you kin pay me for the good, honist
likker uv mine w'ich you hev con
soomed in coin w'ich is less than the
dollar you promised. All rite. But look
here- come in here all uv you. I want
you silver men to know exactly w'at you
are rushin into. "
And this f eend led us into the back
room that
back room w'ich contanes
the subsistence uv the Corners.
There,
in long rows, wuz Bascom 's stock.
There, in barrils, piled one on top uv
another, wuz the delishus whisky uv

scarcely cold yit. There it lay, and ez
my eye ranged affeckshunately over it I
felt ef I cood hev the drinkin uv all
that likker I wood be content to lay
down and die when the last drop wuz
gone.
Bascom p'inted to an immense tank
w'ich he hed erected within a few days,
with a pipe runnin in from the roof.
"I shan't raise the price uv likker in
consekence uv bein paid for it in a de
preshiatid currency!" sed he.
I fell on Bascom 's neck in an extacy
uv delite, while the others shoutid,
"Rah for Bascom!"
"G. W.," I remarkt. while teers suf-
foosed my eyes, "I never placed you
much below the angels, but this gener
ous act has histid you a hundred per
cent in my estimashun. Bless you, G.
W., bless you!"
"But I'll tell you w'at I shell do. Do
you see that tank?" sed he.
"May I ask w'at that is for?" I sed.
4 'That tank will fill with rane water, "
sed he. "The moment you git to payin
me in silver I shell take out uv eech uv
them barrils jist eggsactly three and
one-fifth gollons uv likker and fill it
with water. "
"Merciful hevihgs !" we all exclaimed,
4 4 and your Kkker so weak now !"
"And when silver gits down to 75
cents on the dollar I shell take out 25
per cent uv whisky and fill her up with
25 per cent uv water, and so on down.
Ef silver goes up, I shell add whisky
eggsactly in proporshen. In short, my
whisky is jist a-goin to f oiler currency
and nothin shorter. You fellers w'ich
work for wagis may swet, but I won't. "
4,Bnt you'll increase the size uv your
glasses?" sed I.
"Not any. But you may drink twice
ez many times to git the same amount
uv drunk ez before by payin for eech
drink."
And Bascom stalked hawtily back and
took his posishen behind his bar.
Ther wuz consternashun in the Cor
ners sich ez I hev never seen. Ther wuz
a hurried consultashen at the Deekin's
house, and I sejested that we emanci
pate ourselves from the dominyun uv

KILLED BY HIS OWN BOMB.
An Anarchist Kills Himself, by Avoidant,
After Shooting Ills Victim.
Paris, Aug. 5. News has been re
ceived here of a dastardly attempt to
murder M. Vuillemin, the managing
director of the coal mines at Aniche,
eijrht miles from Douai, in the depart
ment of Nord. A monster banquet had
been prepared for the celebration yes
terday of the completion of the fif
teenth year of M. Vuillemin's connec
tion with the mines. After mass had
been celebrated in the morning, M.
Vuillemin surrounded by a party of en
gineers and share-holders in the mines,
was standing under the church porch,
when an Anarchist miner, named Ca
naille Decoitx, who had been dismissed
from the service of the company after
the strike of 1893, approached and fired
five shots from a revolver at him.
Three of the bullets took effect, one
striking M. Vuillemin in the cheek,
another in the hand and another in the
back, inflicting serious, but not dan
gerous wounds. After emptying his re
volver Decoux was preparing to throw
a bomb which he had concealed about
his person, when by some means, the
infernal machine exploded pre-mature-ly,
disembowelling the would-be mur
derer and hurting his writhing intended
victim. Ten bystanders were . slight
ly injured by the explosion. Deeoux was
carried to the Mayoralty house, but
died immediately after . he arrived
there.
TRIED TO END HER LIFE.
A Birmingham Woman's Unsuccessful
Attempts at Suicide.
Chicago, Aug. 5. A woman giving
the name of Louise La Bond, and her
home as Birmingham, Ala , made two
attempts to take ber own life yester
day. She swallowed a quantity of co
caine, and when it did not have the de
sired effect she jumped into the lake
Officer Downey witnessed the last act,
and succeeded in pulling her out of the
water before life was extinct. She is
now at tne county hospital, and the
physicians say she will recover.
She said her husband was a traveling
man for a Philadelphia boot and shoe
house. Asked why she attempted to
take her life, she said she had received
a telegram announcing the death of her
mother, and that she did not have,
money to enable her to attend the
funeral.
ANOTHER COMPLICATION.
Possible Suit Against Great Britain by the
United States.
Satt Francisco, Aug. 5. A suit has
besrun in the United States district
court upon the result of which a dam
age suit afciinst Great Britain may be
begun by the United States. The suit
is to declare the American schooner
Sophia Sutherland forfeited to the gov
ernment. On a recent voyage to Beh-
ring sea some of the hunters on board
the schooner killed ten seals in the area
closed to hunters by the treaty between
this country and Great Britian. The
captain of the schooner says the seals
were killed in violation of his orders.

ver Cleveland for the Presidency in
Nov.. 1882, while he was Mayor of Buf
falo, N. Y., is enthusiastic in his praise
of Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. He says: " I have
used it for the past five years and con
sider it the best preperation of the kind

and coffee in this section. It is an ar
