' THE ELEVENTH VOLUME.
The tenth volume of our paper
closed .with the last number, and to
day as a new year's gift to our patrons
and in celebration of the beginning of
a new volume we give to the public
the first issue of the Son-Weekly
Tobacco Plant. Ten years ago when
the first issue of the Weekly Plant
was sent forth, the town of Durham
was a village of between 300 and 400
inhabitants. .T6-da its population
numbers about, four thousand, and.
wnue J. he Plant does not claim the
glory of our unprecedented increase,
yet we rejoice to have grown up with
the town and that our labors have
been appreciated hot only by our own
people, but by the public generally.
And now to keep abreast of the times
and to be on hand and fully equipped
for every good word and work that
may forward our town and State on a
Steady march of prosperity, we hav
tins day thrown to the breeze, as a
candidate for public favor, a semi
weeiuy issue of our paper, which,
together with our weekly, we intend
to run so that our patrons shall all the
time be advised as to matters of gen
eral interest

the. immense tobacco trade of he
Durham market, thus affording the
finest advertising facilities of any paper
mi North Carolina for manufacturers,
warehousemen, brokers, dealers and
farmers. This in part has impelled us
in our new venture, for it has long
been manifest, that those who handle
the weed were not properly supplied
with a vehicle of intercommunication.
So also we intend to give the latest,
correct information from Durham's
rapidly increasing cotton market, and
so of the trade in all the products
marketed in this town. In fact we
intend to make the Weekly and Semi
Weekly TObacco Plant indispensable
to the manufacturer, merchant; trader,
mechanic, artisan, farmer, buver, seller I
or consumer who desires or expects I
to keep up with the times.
A circulation already attained and
ro larre nH to iiistifv us in venturing
to issue a semi-weekly, even without'
a prospectus, is full proof to adver-
tisers that there is no better medium
than The Plant in the Old North
State, through which to introduce
their wares or make their offers to the
public. ., ;
The Plant has been so long before
the public that in matters of State it
would barely be possible for our posi
tion to be misunderstood and so does
not need to be defined. 4f

Boulless and dishonest, who seized
upon everything from which there was

who lent willing ears to their elecep -

To meet this order of things the
General Assembly, under the amended
constitution of 1875, passed the present
county government act, and thereby
burled from place and power those
dishonest men, who by their unhal
lowed greed had made a change in
our organic law necessary. This much
was accomplished by the strong arm
of the Democratic party, a power which
; thieves and plunderers will not soon
aain be willing to combat But the
evil having been corrected it appears
ti us that the time has now arrived
when the county government act
should be repealed and the people
themselves should decide who should
be their , county officers. It is not

from the late change of the constitu
tion. The remedy has proved ade
quate to the malady to be cured, and
the Democratic partv should now
ce&se to administer medicine after the
disease has been abated. In fact it
wis never contemplated that the
people should give up the election of
their officers longer than necessary to
correct the evils alxne alluded to as
evidenced' by the elastic provision of
the constitution which confers upon
the General Assembly the power to
change our svstem of countv govern-
nteiit at their will. l

' That the present system is unsatis
factory, after the correction of the
evils above referred to, none acquainted
with public affairs can doubt and we
give' our voice in favor of transferring
back to the people the election of

of tlie Peace. 1
THE OLD YEAR.
Since the last issue of The Plant
the old. year lias i fulfilled the measure
of its days and A. D. 1882 has dawned
fresh upon us. In many respects the
year 1881 was peculiar. It was ushered
in with frosts and cold that would well
nigh have done credit to the -Arctic,
regions, and when in late spring the
winery weather passed' away, drought
set jn upon us that seemed to threaten
starvation, and rendered Autumn's
harvests meagre indeed.
Fiear took hold upon many of our
people and on all sides were heard the
prophecies that there would be suffer
ing in the land. But '. as the crops
were gathered in, the store was found
more plentiful than expected, and it
plainly appeared that a wise economy
wov Id keep the wolf from the door of
the most hhpecunious among us. In
deed it has verity come to be doubted,
even from a human standpoint, if the
yea 1881 has not been a great bless
ing jto our .people as a whole. We
hadi been realizing year after year
crops so bountiful, of grain, cotton
and; other crops that it had reallv be
come, to be a problem whether it were
profitable for our people to continue
as they had been reared, an agricul
tural people.- The markets every
where were glutted, and the demand
for pus products were at prices scarcely
alwiye. the costs of production. Now
the failure of the seasons have brought
about 'a change of affairs and there is
again hope in the, future that the
laborer. may reap his reward in prices
commensurate witli his efforts ex
pended in the production of his crops.
It will now be at least some time before
overproduction or the scheming of
speculators can reduce prices so near
the cost, of production as they have
heretofore been and our population in
the Aggregate must necessarily be the
partkking in these beneficent results.
A Hre plenty is doubtless, better than
an abundance at the same juice. Be
sidefe it may be better tliat au ol us,
tl$j
bilgh we- may heretofore have been
considered poor, De taught tins lesson
of economy. W hen at the end ol the
present year we find ourselves as well
off as before the reverses caused bv
the unfavorable seasons of 1881, per
haps some of us will then realize that
the leason whv some men grow rich
is because thev save that which others
are accustomed to needlessly expend
At all events the year that died on
Saturday night is not without its les-
sons of instniction and we urge ouf
readers, while profiting bv them, to
ffirdjon the armor for the battles of
r.:..j
U v -
the Hiot at Plymouth.
On, Thursdaj of last week about 300
negroes who had gathered together at
Plymouth, in Washington county, be-
cam4 riotous and when attempted to
be controlled by the officers of the
law refused to obey, rescued such of
t . .. v
their number as had. been arrested
I i . x v
authorities, promptly called out sufli-
I cienll military force to aid in executing
all necessary legal process. .Before
the military had arrived, however,
Sheriff Spruill had summonetl a suffi-.
- cienl posse and dispei-sed the rioters,
But pefore this was accomphshed one
or more of the Sheriff's posse were
killed and a number wounded.
A number of the rioters have al-
reatly been arrested and we hope soon
to learn that all the guilty have been
brought to summaiT punishment.

THE GUITEAU Till A L.
The trial of the assassin will be re
sumed to-day. We give below some
interesting notes of Saturday's pro
ceedings: When the court assembled, and
Guiteau had taken his seat, he ad
dressed the court, saying: "The wife
of one of my guards here Mr. Cun
ninghamhas got a vll-pound baby
as a New .Year's-present." )
Even the judge I and jury broke
down under this sally, and joined in
the general laughter while Policeman
Cunningham turned his back and
looked intently out of the window.
The District Attorney, in urging the
question, remarked that the prosecu
tion had summoned Dr. Gray here as
the best authority on the subject of
insanity in the country. ; Tile prose
cution, he said, were willing to leave
it to Dr. Gray's judgment as toiwhether
the man should be brought to trial or
not.
The witness having stated that he
never knew a case where an insane
man had ajipealed to the civil author
ities for' protection from thfe conse
quences of an insane act, the prisoner
said : "I haven't applied to jany civil
authorities. -1 am not afraid to go
out now, if I am allowed. The jury
will do that. If it don't I espect the
Lord has fixed it so I will go. If Mr.
Merrick and some" of the best; lawyers
in the District know their business
and I expect that they do this court
has no jurisdiction in this case."
The District Attorney then iread the
government's hypothetical questions.
The reading was interrupted! several
times ty tlie prisoner with such re
marks as "That's getting prefty stale;
we have heard it about twenty times."
'Two-thirds of that is false." "-It
makes me mad every time iii is read,
because there are so many falsehoods
m it. "mats iaise. : viipsoiuieiv
false." "It. was a woman J never
loved and had no business jto have
married." "I never naid so," &c.
Dr. John P. Grav" of Ctica, was
then r called to the stand, and Mr.
Corkhnl proceeded with the direct
examination. Dr. Gray, said jthat one
of the reasons that convinced jiiin that
Guiteau was sane was that there were
no evidences of his having had at any
i 'i i i i..! iz
time exniuueu sympioms oi insane .
"l oeneve, repnea-me witness, ue
is actinj? a part: that he is represent-
insr what
he thinks or believ es will
impress others with the idea that he
is acting under, or is influenced by, a
Divine inspiration. I do not; believe
he believes he has any such thing.
As the witness was dehver mg his
answer the prisoner talked, too, an
deal entirely with cranks," he said to
the witness, "but I don't, and the
Lord don't." ' I
The witness having used the word
delusion, the prisoner said: f'Insane
pressure is the word. I dorf't claim
that there was any delusion about it."
The witness said in fomiing his
opinion he took in account jthe fact
that the rjiisoner recoo-mzed his own
alleged insanity.
"You are talking' about .cranks,"
said the prisoner, "how about Abra
ham and thirty-eight cases i -in the
Bible, where the Lord elirected to kill ?"
Mr Scovjlle having again objected
to the manner and substance: of the
witness' testimony, the prisoner came
to his aid by .remarking: "Dr. Gray,
this morning, is arguing the case for
the prosecution, which no expert has
a riht to do. He must confine him
self to facts. Porter will do that busi
ness Judge Porter, I mean.'
The witness said the prisoner claimed
no inspiration in relation to his appli
cation for office. '
"The answer to that," said .the pris
oner, "is that it tloes not correspond
with what the doctor said yesterday.
I claimed inspiration at the beginning,
at the middle and at the end of this
transaction. The whole thing was de
rived from inspiration." j
The" witness continued, saving that
the prisoner had told hini that this in
spiration did not cornel to him when
he conceived the act. . -i. I
"Tne making up ot my mind, in
terrupted the prisoner, "was the re
sult of the grinding pressure. That's
where the inspiration came in.''
The witness went on' to recite that
the self-control of the prisoner, bis
preparing for his own,'
&.C, was inconsistent

tobacco is cremated is j called the

congratulate our French contempora
ry on the discovery. j
Rec3ntly published statistics show
- ..
that the consumption ot tobacco in
France has largely and steadily in
creased during the present century.
In 18jl5 the amount derived by the
State from this one arficli
e was 66,-
872,000 francs. In 1853
the amount
had risen to 183,000,000 francs, while
in the latest return given It was 313,
546,000 francs. This represents an
average of about 9 francs per head of
the population.
Smuggling has been praoticed to a
ruinous extent in Hungary and bo
adroitly were the echemsj conducted
that until recently they were unde
tected. The attention of the govern-
ment was directed to the vast increase
in the impoitation of petroleum as
being in striking contrast with the di
minution of that of tobacco and a cas';
supposed to contain oil was broken
open and found to be filled with cheftp
foreign cigars. .
The Imperial Statistical Office has
published the following figures on
the tobacco crop of Germany, for th
year ending June 1, 1831i: The total
production was 51581,594 kilo
grammes (of two pounds 'each) of to
bacco in a dry, storabloj state. Ol
this the Grand Duchy of Baden pro
duced 15,289,684; Prussia, 13,524,830
Bavaria, 11,028,757, and Alsace-Lorraine,
8,085,135 kilogrammes. The
aggregate value of the German tobac-
crop, 1880, was estimated; at 3G mil
lion marks or $1,825,000.
The German Tobacco Journal pub
lished at Hamburg in its issue ol
November 24th ultimo, says: Durin
the past week the market has been
rather more lively, but on the whole
the buyers are rather quiet and show
to great hurry. This is easily explain
ed as the season of the year renders
it difficult to send goods to the North
and Germany is still very reticent.
There is no cnange in tne prices,
which still remain firm. The hanging
up of this year's tobacco was begun
about three weeks ago. Unfortunate
ly the continued wet weather has. not
been favorable to the process, and
the bundles of Tobacoo
quently beginning to get

wartn, some
of them have to be opened again.
