A drive about the city or walk down any street shows that new houses are looming up in all directions. We are in receipt of Vol. i , No. 2, of the Evening News, pub lished daily at Bath, N. C, by M. P. Ilaskett. We wish the enterprise success. The thermometers have been very industrious this week. The mercury seems to .think that there is room at the top and has been trying very hard to get there. The American people will never be wanting again to pay two prices for their food and clothing in order to raise a party campaign fund, says the Galves ton Neivs, and it is right. The American Wool and Cot ton Reporter says there are eighty-one new cotton mills under construction in eight Southern States. Of these thirty one are in North Carolina. What has become of the large number of unemployed ? The farmers of the North and North west are offering wages above the average and cannot get the farm help that they actually need. The "city fathers" have great ly improved the lower end of King street by the judicious use of shells. Don't let this work lag, gentlemen, we have several more streets that need shelling badly. Let the good work go on. When the people here learn that harmony of action is what we need for the upbuilding of the town, and all work together without jealousy 01 any pull back business, Edenton will grow faster and it will be a sub stantial growth. The Cornucopia, or Southern Horn of Plenty, a monthly mag azine published at Norfolk, Va., by A. Jeffers, in the interest of Southern Agriculture and Immi gration, enters its tenth year with the current number. The Cornucopia is doing much good for Virginia by giving the peo ple of the West and Northwest, the facts about this great South land and also the figures to back it up. The July number is es pecially well edited and just such matter as persons wishing to come South, want to know. "The opinion of the attorney general of Tcxas,"says the Ports mouth Star, "backed up as it is by the outspoken sentiments of the people of that State, makes it certain that the Corbett-Fitz-simmons fight will not take place within the bounds of the Lone Star State. There is absolutely nothing to be said in defence of this so called sport. It is low, brutal and degrading. It should never be tolerated in any com munity. Both decency and morality condemn it. From now on we hope it will be impossible anywhere within the bounds of the United States ior one ruffian to pummel another for money." m m m North Carolina has attractions for the immigrant and investor that are unequalled. If her citizens would all work together and endeavor to let the world know what we have.there would be a marvelous increase in her population in the next few years. We can do this in many ways, by letter writing, newspaper ad vertising, the sending out of des criptive literature in various forms, &c. But in no way more effectually perhaps than by prac tical illustration, making a full and comprehensive exhibit of our industries and resources at the Atlanta Exposition. The rail roads will aid in doing this. Let the people co-operate with them and North Carolina will be so well represented by her products and materials that we will all have cause to be proud of it. j Henderson Gold Leaf. According to the Atlanta Journal, the farmers of Georgia have planted a larger crop of corn this year than they did last sea son, when many of them had a surplus which returned a hand some profit. The Journal says: The comparative abundance of corn and hogs m Georgia last year was an incalculable bless ing to the State. In many coun ties corn was offered for sale for the first time in many years, and more meat was raised than nad been produced for a long time. Reports from the different . parts of the State indicates that there will be a still further advance of the hog and hominy reform this year. Most of the acreage that was taken from cotton this year was put in food crops. It is al most certain that the coming crop of cotton will bring a much better price than the last was sold for. With more money for their cotton and a greater pro portion of their own supplies raised at home, the farmers of the South will find themselves at the close of the year better off than they have been for a long time. The average yield of corn in the South has been steadily improving and the indications are that it will be hue tins year The crop is now in excellent condition and the bulk of it is almost "made." Intensive Farming. That is what needed is Jin this section of country. What is "Intensive Farming?" some of our readers may ask. Well, it is getting two to four crops each year from the same land, and making money from all of them. It is keeping one cow for each acre of land; it is raising more produce and making more mon ey from 10 acres than from 160 in the North or West. Such farming will not only eniich each individual engaged in such work, but it will enable our people to grow on 2,500 square miles of land, near the sea, enough to feed more people than now live in the States of North Carolina and Virginia. "Intensive Farm ing' ' is just the thing. Cornucopia. Honors For Baby Marion. Baby Marion Cleveland will probably touch the button that will start the machinery at the opening of the Cotton States and International Exposition. The Western Union Telegraph Com pany will run a wire to Gray Gables and another into the Ex position Grounds at Atlanta. An operator in Atlanta will give the signal, and at the other end, 1,000 miles away, a touch of the button will send the current that starts the wheels. The Exposition Directors de sire that President Cleveland's third daughter shall touch the button, SHIRT HID NEWSY. George Hathaway, of Jones Bay, near Washington, N. C, took his wife and children fish ing, when one of the children fell into the river. The father jumped to rescue the little one, but both were drowned. The last time they came up the child was in the father's arms. Twenty female teachers who were employed recently for the ensuing year at West Chester, Pa., were required to sign an agreement not to marry during the year for which they were appointed. There is no rule against courting, provided it is done out of school hours. The Wil. Messenger says: A prominent farmer of Johnson county arrived here to day and informed the United States Mar shal and the Revenue authorities that in O'Neal's township, in his county, there is a reign of terror caused by the outrages and threats of moonshiners. The latter have shot two men, one of whom has died. The mooushin ers suspected a woman who was picking berries of looking for illicit distilleries and made threats against her. They have also burned her home and out buildings. A. Leslie Duvall. ex-assistant city commissioner, of Baltimore, Md., stampeded a carload of pas sengers on the traction line by waving a revolver and threaten ed to kill W. D. Burroughs, a re porter on the Morning Herald, who was a passenger on the car. Duvall was recently removed from office because of an investi gation into his department by a committee appointed by the city council. He has been severely haudled by the Evening World and threatened to shoot the writer of the caustic articles. He mistook Burroughs for the World representative, and had the con ductor not restrained Duvall, Burroughs would probably have received the leaden messenger. OUR TRADE ISSUE.

A Word to the Boys. Boys, don't be idlers. If you have no regular employment take up some study and read good, healthy books, but do not loaf around the streets in the company of idle, shiftless and vicious companions. There are more boys ruined by evil asso ciates than through inherited criminality. Bad company tends to blunt the finest feelings, cors rupt the morals, and invariably brings the innocent to look up on wrong with indifference When a boy gets to this stage he is at the critical point of his hie -Exchange.
