MAN VERSUS LOD.
It is chon. remarked by the tra
Terser of an agricultural section that
one farmer will have a flourishing
crop, wbi'e his next neighbor with
only a Hue fence dividing them will
nhow ad verfed, illy cultivated crop
that fiom appearances would scarcely
pay hin;lo further tend and garner.
The 1 lJ seems to be alike in sur
face and soil, then what is the mat
tet! Ii may be tersely summed up
id a single epigram.
It is in the man, not the land.
Than taking this to reach the ker
nel of the case, it behoovts the un
fortunate agricola to examine his
methods and dissect himself with
a keen, impartial scalpel. Is he too

The sickness, especially dysentery,

The charges against Dr. Grissom

Best Crop.

is twice this height.
Ooe hundred and fifty acres has magni

be the yield. j
There may be other crops as eooa as

banded in seven dozen.

Veterans' Organisation.
Besides meeting at the county sea's on
the Fourth, the c nfederate veterans are
requested to form a permanent organiza
tion. The President, Julian S. Carr. has
cal.ed a meeting of all Yete:ans for that
day. The following plan of organization
has been adopted hy the executive com
mittee, viz: j
The election of a president, vice presi
dent, secretary and executive committee
of five.
The secretary to enroll the name, com-
pany and regiment of each ex-Confederate
soldier and the name and vessel of
each Confederate sail jr who presents hi i
name for membership.
Each county association to recommend
two ladies in each township who will be
especially commissioned by the president
of the State Association to "aid in the
g'orious work of establishing a "Home"
for the old and broken down veterans of
North Carolina."
The secretary of each association will,
as soon aa possible, report to W. C.

The objeciioa to him is very pronounc

That'Brldg
To the Editor of the Southerner;
The Town of Tarboro, as a part of the
county of Edgecombe, pays into the !
County Treasury about one-fourth of the
taxes deemed necessary, among other
things, to provide convenient roads and
bridges for thetravel and traffic of its cit -izenns.
Five citizens are selected as a
Board of Commissioners to administer this
fund for the -benefit of the entire county,
under oath.
Ci'izens of tie Town and Township con
stituting one-twelfth of the .whole popula
tion of the couuty, want a bridge across
Hendricks creek for their convtnience and
for the general good of the county. Thi8
tridge would hi used five times as much
as any bridge in the county, "except the
river bridge at Tarboro; These citizens
now pay and have been paying annually,
, r. a rfr
for county purposes alone over stsiuuu.
This bridge would cost primarily about
$1000 and from the p'.an of construction
would be of little expense thereafter. No
scheme for a county appropriation of the
amount asked f r can be suggested that
would afford greater benefits to 2500 of
the citizens of the county. Under this
state facts, the representatives of these cit
izens asked of the Board of Commissioners,
not what of r'ght they are entitled to, that
this bridge be erected by the County, out
of the funds collected from them, but that
the county pay $400, about two-fifths of
the cost, and only 10 per cent of the amount
that they anudlly contribute to the county
funds. IIow was this proposition treated?
Summarily rejected, without even the
courtesy of a reason forso doing.
What is the necessary conclusion? No
expanditure that cin be avoided will be
made for the town, even when berencial
to out of-town citizensr
Now permit me to ask on wbnt gioond
is such action taken?
1st. Was it, ''Because the good od iule
SufBceth them, the simple plan.
That they should take who have the
pLwer,
And they should keep who can"
2nd. Was, it the spirit of the modern
trust taking general funds for a special set
and or them only?
3rd. Was it a plain presentation by the
Board of their notion of justice and im
partiality, and a proper discharge oftheir
duty? If this last, should not a little c ur-
tesy have been shown ?
Now, Mr. Edi'or, whichever of the three
it was, I do not believe it represents truly
the people of Edgecomte. For ore, I do
not believe they wish their lepresentatives
to be moved (if they were) by eiher
motive No. 1 or 2, and I am equally clear
in my conviction that their sense of justice
will not accord with that ot the Board and
they will not approve its action
A Citi.ks.
. Concert.
Several amateurs, as wid be seen be
low have volunteered to give a musica'e
on the evening of the Fourth for the bene
fit of the Edgecombe Guards. The boys
will need all the money tUey can raise, for
tbe State does not deal with them liberally.
The greater portion of the expence in
cedent to the annual encampment will
have to be borne by the men.
In add-on to this the Guards have
ordered new uniforms. It is true the
State furnishes the clothes, but the com
pany will have to pay for the cutting
and making. So it will le seen that
whoever will attend this concert will Le
to them a friend in deed.

"In tbe Winter and SDrinz I can disocse

Th Frog Editor to the Front
"What's that you're giving us?"
Thus drawled out the frog editor to the
Soutiie rnb b snake reporter who had just
spun a most aititudinoua f yarn about a
king snake, one Inch . in diameter, two
feet long, swallowing a black snake thre
feet long and two inches tli rough and
Hcking his chops and going for a rat he
had killed just before lacklingthe black
snake.
"Why," puisued the ' Frog Faberian
raising his head on his hand fiom a pile
of exchanges upon which he wa's reclin j
ing in a corner, "ytu ought to have been
fishing with me down at the pond
on Hendricks creek at the town
water works. I noticed on the bauk op
posite a titanic bull frog, intoning Lis
soft, melodious lullabj-. His counte
nance was markedly frank and open and
his nfouth, big enough to take in a No.
12 eli- e vamp, would nearly turn him in
side out with each issuance of his gut
tural note.
Suddenly his song sank into a low self
satisfied chirp and his ; rather-; prominent
eyes showed a merry twinkle. Occasion,
ally his left cptic would close after the
manner of a visitor to a soda foHn'ain,
wLere no fpirits are allowed.
His ranalship was having some fun,
but what was it about?
Suddenly he came to. tie posi.ion of
left-about-face, when I saw an immense
water moccasin steath'ly approaching
and when be got about three f.et away,
he paused and gave a gulp or two to get
his guzzler lubricated for action.
Then opening hia mouth he darted for
ward with distended jiwsfor his prey I1
was a flash and a spluttering of muddy
water When things gut quiet again,
there was the snake and the fiog occu
pying their lelative positions. TLe moc
casin slowly skirmished for vaqtage, but
the frog turned so as ,to keep his head
stra'ght to his foe.
Another dart and splutteiing and
splashing and both rep'iles held their
original positions.
Th-s was repeated teven distinct times
and the snake lay motionless except a
wiggle of bis tail.
"Well, how did the fiog escape?'
quired tie nake journalist, ikeply inter
ested.
"Simple enough," es plaint d the f.og
historian. "When the enake flew at the
frog with hi mouth open, the frog
jumped down his throat, turning a somer
sault so as to alight in the snakes bully
with hia head towards the snak.s mouth.
Then before the snake could -recover
from surprise at feeling Eomething in his
belly that he had never tasted, the frog
would cet toohott with hU fine nails
and spring back to his tussock. I dis
sected the dead Enake and fcfcind that he
was ripped a'l to pie; es by . the frogs
