DOES FARMING PAY. TherWst vear was a moBt disastrous one to the farmers in Eastern North Carolina, and if asked the question: "Does farming pay?" most of the farmers would emphatically reply in the negative, -Certain ly the making of cotton in this State has not been profitable for half a dozen years, and yet, with the exception of the past year, there have been men in every cotton bounty "who have made fair money in raising cotton in connection with other farm crodu'its. But, at the best, farmers, not only to North Carolina, but throughout the country are forced to sell their products so low that, after theii expenses and State, and county taxes are paid, and the tribute they are forced to give to the protected classes, even if their crop is a failure, is settled, their farms pay them ' the smallest dividend upon their investment, and often pay no dividend at all. While this temporary de gression rests heavily upon a large, body of our farmers, it is gratifying to know that in the tobacco section of the State although the crop has not been large, the farmers have been paid largeprices for their to bacco and are more prosper ous than for years. And the best nait of this is that the bright tobacco belt, which was once supposed to embrace only a few counties, extends from the Virginia line to Pitt conn. ty on the one hand and to South Carolina in another - di rection. Five years ago Nash county had never raised any bright tobacco and its farmers did not know that the soil was adapted to it. A number of farmers tried it, and now Nash ranks with - the best of the oldest tobacco counties. On the 14th day of February Mr. ft. H. Ricks, a prominent far mer of Nash,' sold in Henderson 22 lots of tobacco, 4,579 pounds, $1,934,77, . an average for all grades of $62,25 per 100 pounds. He had in tobacco last year 45 acres and will average for the entire crop $45 per 100 pounds. Mr. Ricks says that farming does pay, and will this year plant 75 acres in tobacco. What is true of Nash is in lesa measure true of Wilson county which is preparing to tollow the example of Nash. Vance county farmers find that farming pays well. In December 1889 Mr. D. Y. Coop er bought a farm of 518 acres, three and orre half miles from Henderson, for which he paid In cash $5,080. This year the crop of tobacco alone On that farm will bring from $6,500 to $7,000. Mr. Cooper owns three farms near Henderson which cost him about $10,000. They pay him annually a twenty per cent dividend. Of course he has the best tenants that can be had,-and makes every edge cut. But so do all men in call ing who understand their busi- nes8.Wb.at enterprise intheState is paying so handsome a divi dend ? Mr. Cooper says that raising bright! tobacco; does pay, and pays handsomely. On the fame road, and in the same neighborhood in 'which 'Mr. Cooper's 518 acre farm is situ ated, are other" farmers who have done quite as well with tobacco. Mr. S." H. Satterwnite a , progressive . young xarmer, sold the product of two a'cres for .$696.50, For about 200 acres of land he paid $1,000, and pow from two acres of that land he gets nearly enough to pay the purchase price. The value of 'his tobacco crop alone this year will be about $5,000, and it has not cost him to ex ceed $1,000 to make it. Besides tho tobacco, he has made all his supplies. On the same road Mr. Frank" Wortham aud Mr. Thos. B. Floyd, both -progres sive young- farmers, made a success. Mr. Wortham sold one two-horse load of tobacco for $659,55. His crop will bring about $4,000,' and- he v made, it and his supplies at a cost if about $1,000. Mr. Floyd, with two horaes, will sell his - crop for $3,000. In this same neighborhood we might give the experience of other gentle men who will answer the ques tion, "Does farming pay ?" in the affirmative. We give 'but one more ex perience, although they might be multiplied almost indefinite ly. In January, 1890, W. H. Hart & Son bought a farm of thirty acres, one and a half miles from Henderson, for which they paid $1,10. Last year they spent. 9350 for a horse, farming implements aod labor. The-value of the to bacco crop on their farm last year was f 1,800. in addition oats, die., and provender suffi cient to keep a horse one year were raised. These facts and figures teach a lesson- . oi vaiue io every farmer in the State whose land will produce tobacco. What has been done by a hundred farmers can be done by thous ands. There is no land in the world that will produce crops which will sell for as. much money as the .bright tobacco land of North Carolina. If all the farmers will realize this faet, and devote their best en ergies and judgment to mak ing bright tobacco, they will soon be, in spite of the unjust Federal legislation which our-, dens them, the most prosper ous farmers the sun shines on.

It reads as follows : NO RTH CAROLINA, 1 In Superior Court, Obsess Co.tii(TY, 1 Spring- Term, 1890, Grek.vb Brown, 1 being large I Klizabeth Bbowk, ) The defendant answering the plaintiff's complaint, alleges s U- lliat it is true, - she, did some time during slavery inter-marry with one John Whitley after much solicita tion on the part of said . John. 2. That she, the defendant, and the said John, did up to the close of the late war, enjoy the many relations of married life with all the appurtenances and incidents thereto attached, until the end of the Tate war, when the said John became debilita ted and physically impaired to such a degree as to render him unfit for laborious duties and hardships of married life, after which it ' wis ' adjudged aud ordered that the paid J6hn retire and be forever relieved of any further duty or married relation. 3." That soon thereafter the plaintiff , . Brown sought the hand of the defendant i u mar riage, actuated as the defend ant is informed and believes by simon pure and unadulterated love of woinau-kind, the de fendant reciprocatiug the love and admiration of said Brown, did in consideration of the premises agree, and consent to become the affiance of the said Brown. 4. That in pursuance of en gagement referred to, the. ce fendant and plaintiff inter married ou or about the day of 188 , aod that they con tinued in - the happy , stats of marriage until on ur about the the day of 188 when the defendant discovered signs or discontent as well as debility aud physical ailment on the part of plaintiff. 5. That said otate of affairs existed for some time, when plaintiff and .defendant came to a consultation, where, after consideration, it was ordered and adjudged by them, that the plaidtiff have a lief of absence in order that plaintiff might, resusitate and recover his wonted spirits. 6. That on the UN of ab sence the plaintiff departed the presence of eaid defendant and has failed to appear and to live with her as his wife. 7. That plaintiff had con structive notice of the late mar riage of the defendant with the said Whitley, and took de fendant subject to all outstand ing equities io the hands of eaid Whitley, 8. The defeudantis informed I aud believes that her marriage with the said Whitley is null and void, in that said mar riag was poletnnized during the slavery of defendant. For further defence, the de fendant pleads that the plaintiff Brown has been in the adverse possession for seven years with color of title, and in law can not be disturbed in his pos session.
