FOR RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
Congressman Kdward \Y. 1'ou
went to Washington Inst week
to look after the establishment
of free deli very mail routes in this
and other counties in this iis
trict. Speaking of the result of
this trip Mr. Pou said:
"I had an interview with Mr.
Machen, First Assistant Post
master (ieneral. He made me
the promise that within the next
thirty or sixty days he would
send a special agent to this < is
t rict and lay off all the rural free
delivery routes for which peti
tions have been filed conforming
to the law. Mr. Atwater had
about a dozen petitions on file,
and some six or eight have been
sent in by me before the sum
mer passes J hope to have all
these routes established and in
operation. Mr. Machen informed
me that all had been done on my
part and on the part of those
tiling the petitions that could be
done, and that nothing now re
mained to be done but for the
Department to send special
agents here to put the routes in
operation."
Mr. Pou is much interested in
the subject of better mail facili
ties for Irs constituents and we
are sure that he will do all he can
for the people of this section,
better mail facilities are much
needed in some sections of this
county and all that our people
will have to do will be to wait pa
tiently for awhile, for these things
can't be done in a day.
Mr. l'ou Hays lie is confident of
getting all routes asked for when
the applications are properly
made out. With better mail fa
cilities our people will become a
more reading people and eventu
ally u better educated jieople.
We are glad to see Mr. I'ou inter. |
esting himself in behalf of the!
people of the country and the
farmers. They are the people
who need help and we are quite
sure that they will pro|>erly ap
preciate Mr. I'oil's efforts.
We extend our W' in earnest
congratulations to l!ro. Henry
T.King,editor of King's Weekly,
Greenville, .V C., upon his taking
unto himself a wife. He was [
happily married a few days ago
to Miss Blanche Draughan, the
accomplished and charming
daughter of Mrs. W. F. Draughan,
of Edgecombe county. The'
solemn words that linked their
fate were spoken by Rev. .1. J.
Harper of our town.
Our educational page in this
issue is filled with very choice
matter for parent, teacher and
pupil. All who love the cause of
education will enjoy reading this
page. The matter has been se
lected with care and is intended
to instruct, entertain and ele
vate. It is our intention to make
this the best page in Thk Herald
and to this end we invite the
teachers of the county to assist
us. Do not fail to read page G. <
According to the American
Wool and Cotton Reporter North
Caro'ina takes the lead in textile
mill construction for the first six
months of 1901. Since January
1, l'JOl, 261 new textile mills
have been built or are under con
s ruction. Of this number North
Carolina leads with 45; Georgia
stands second with 3G. This is a
gocsl showing and shows that
North Carolina is forging ahead.
OUR lOBACCO MARKET.
The Smb hfleld tobacco market
wan established in lH'.ts, and ha*
l*eeii a success from the begin
ning. Situated in the midst of a
fine l>elt of tobacco land capable
of producing a good grade of
bright tobacco, Smithtteld natur
ally attracted quite a number of
tobacconist*, who have done
much to make this town one of
the best tobacco markets of any
small town in North Carolina.
The establishment of a good
tobacco market here was t tie l?e
ginning of a new era in the life of
the town and not only of the
town but the county also. Many
! farmers, who three years ago
were in debt, have become free
I from debt's toils and have money
I laid away for a rainy day. And
j theybavedone all this by raising
| tobacco and selling it on th"
I Smithtteld market.
Our citizens seeing the possi
bilities for success at once aroused
| themselves and built two large
j warehouses, two large prizeries,
and otherwise prepared to handle
t lie tobacco brought here. They '
j have not been disappointed in
i their anticipations. They have
seen a third warehouse built,
other prize houses erected, the
limits of the town enlarged, a
very successful bank established,!
a one hundred thousand dollar
cotton mill built, a large lumber
company organized and a ten
thousand dollar brick hotel under
course of construction, besides j
numerous storehouses and dwell
ings built; and the end is not, yet.
We do not say too much when
we say that the beginning of all
this progress dates from thej
meeting, held in The Herald
office, at which was organized the
first tobacco warehouse company
here.
Three years of success have
encouraged us to believe that
better things are in store for us.
We confidently hope that our
market this year will be far better
than ever before. Smithfield is
the county seat, we are near the
centre of the county, we have a
strong bank successfully man
aged by able, competent and
courteous officers. We have three
large warehouses, a large stem-'
mery,several roomy prize houses
all these make Smithfield the best'
place to sell tobacco in this sec
tion.
Hut this is not all. We will;
have a strong corps of buyers?
the past success of the market is
a strong point to induce the best
buyers with large orders to locate
here. They will be prepared to J
give the highest market prices:
for tobacco and every farmer
may rest assured that no efforts
will be spared to make this the
best market in Eastern Carolina.
Our warehouses are managed
by men whom the people know
and can trust.
The Banner.
The Banner Warehouse, on j
Johnson street, near Third, will I
be mil by the pioneers of the
Smithfield market?Hugh L.
Skinner and Thomas S. Hags-1
dale. They have both been on j
this market from the beginning
and have done much to make it
a success. They are well known
to the people of the county. They
have a strong warehouse force ,
who will try at all timesto please (
their customers. Mr. Lonnie
Patterson, who has been with the
Banner for two years as nuc- j
tioneer, will be with them again ,
this year, in the same capacity.
He is counted one among the best
auctioneers in the State. Mr.
Ed. Edmundson, a Johnston {
county young man, will be book- ,
keeper again this season. He is
popular and knows how to treat
his countymen right. He will be
assisted by one of Smithtield's
brightest lads?Master Jim Cobb.
In addition to their warehouse
business Messrs. Skinner & Hags
dale have several large orders for i
tobacco. This will add much to
the market, as warehousemen
who buy will always see that
tobacco brings the top of the
market. A large prize house 40 x
i
HO h*?t and three stories high is
being built for them on Market
street. 'I his will give them ample
room to handle the large ijuunti
tiee of tolaicco they exjieet to
buy this season.
The Kivekhidk.
I lie Riverside \\ arehouse is
located on Market Street near
the river. This house will be run
this season by .Messrs. Paylor &
Lassiter, who last year had charge
of The Partners. They are both
well known, Mr. Paylor, the auc
tioneer, bus been an auctioneer
for many years and has been on
this market for the two past sea
sons. Mr. Lassiter, who will l>e
floor manager, is a native of this
county. 1 hey will lie ably as
sist. h1 by Mr. J |\ Wade, book
keeper, who was with them lust
year. Their grading and order
ing department will be in charge
of Mr. M S batman. These are
all clever gentlemen who will do
their i> tmost to get good prices
for our farmers' tobu-co. They
have done much for our market
unu them pust success is a fore
runner of what th< y will do again
this year.
The Fakmeus.
Messrs. Boyett Bros., the Pro
prietors of The Farmers Ware
house, on Third Street, near Ful
ler s stables, have been successful
merchants in Smithfleld for two
or three years. They are well
known to the people and the fact
that they have embarked in the
warehouse business shows that
they are determined to help
Smithfleld and the tobacco inter
ests. Messrs. J. I). & b. F. Boyett
will be floor managers and Mr.
Oscur Aycoek will lie their book
keeper. They are all business
men, courteous and polite and
will add much strength to the
market. Mr. It. C. Crute, the
auctioneer at The Farmers, has
a reputation of being one of the
best auctioneers in the State,
having had several years experi
ence. Messrs. Boyett Bros, though
new men in the tobacco business,
will treat the farmers right and
endeavor to get the highest prices
for all tobacco sold 011 their floor.
Our three large warehouses will
be run by very clever gentlemen
who are well known to our people.
And it is not necessary for us to
say more further than this: The
opening sales will be July 30th.
Bring some tobacco here that
day and beconvinced that Smith
field is the place to sell your
tobacco.
The fame of the mule that Ad
miral Sampson killed when he
bombarded Matanzas seems to
be more lasting than that of
many of the would-be heroes of
the Spanish-American war. A
dispatch from over the sea says
that an Andalusian artist is
going to exhibit at Madrid a
marble sculpture representing the
poor mule in the agonies of death.
Should Sampson visit Madrid he
will perhaps have an opportunity
to see the monument to the mule
his shells so mercilessly killed at
that famous bombardment.
The church people of Durham
have made a canvass of the city
and its surburbs to ascertain the
percent age of church goers among
the white people. This canvass
shows that more than 40 per
cent, of Durham's white popula
tion do not attend church at all.
(>nly about 35 per cent, attend
Sunday School. The pastors and
church workers are going out
among the people trying to in
duce them to attend divine ser
vices. It is thought that much
good will be derived from the
canvass.
