New York Sun. ROANOKE ISLAND. A. HISTORIC AiD INDUS TRIAL. CENTER, Roanoke Island has always had for us a peculiar and surprising interest that we cannot entirely account for. It was closely associated with the ear liest stages of our boyhood, its history was associated with our earliest read ings, our friends in manhood were among its prominent citizens, and we have maintained our friendly relations through even to tbe time when the sun of our life is sinking in the west ern horizen. We have always con tended that the type of physical and moral manhood was higher with the typical Koanoke Islander than with any other race of men, we had ever met. When we were ten or twelve years old Roanoke Island "was a familiar spot to us. We climbed the trees and grape vines that grew in native wild ness on all its valleys, gorges and sand dunes. We had our fingers pricked by the bushes ot its wild blackberries, we looked in admiration at its beauti ful gallberries that glistened in the autumn sun, we shot sea gulls on Baum's Point, where Amadas had shot them and reported to Sir Walter Raieigh that he had Killed twenty white crows at one fire of his harque bus. Two hundred and fifty years later, at the same place, we killed at one shoot twenty-nine gulls or shear ers, and Amadas could not have been prouder than we, as we bore them in triumph to our dear aunt, our foster mother, whose loving face has always been painted on our heart in colors of Ji7ing light. At that period nearly all of the well-to-do families on upper Albemarle Sound went to Roanoke Island and the adjaoent banks to spend the sum mer for health and recreation. They boarded for the summer with some of the Islanders, and had a jolly good time, boating, fishing and shooting. The family of our uncle and aunt, of which we were a part, boarded with an old sea captain Adam Etheridge, who lived near the "Old Fort Ral eigh." A kindred family boarded at old Abram Baum's, two miles toward the east, at the place afterward owned by Chaunoy Meek ins and now by his son Frank. The. intercourse between our families was frequent and inti mate. With shooting, fishing, crab bing and hunting, the boys of the fam ily had a glorious time, and the girls sometimes joined us in our crabbing outings which added to the fun' and frolic. Sometimes old man Adam took a party of us over to the beach to shoot and bathe in the surf. Life then was a short day of happiness and every inspiration was a joy. Uncle Adam was the loved centre of the party. He told us yarns about his adventures on the sea and directed us to haunts of pleasure on the sea beach. Birds were so abundant that they would hardly fly from you, and feared not the report of a gun. The sea beach was covered with shells of every variety and sandfiddlers ran about in every direction and with outstretched eyes looked, it seemed, in mute wonder at the strange race that had come to disturb their "an cient, solitary reign. " Sometimes Uncle Adam would di versify his tales of the sea by teUing us of the athletic exploits of the Baum brothers; how strong they were, how muscular they were, how they could wring a spike nail from an oak plank, how they could whip anybody along the banks, and how when they could get nobody to contend with them, two of the brothers, Abram- and John, agreed to fight for the champion mastery. They both stripped to the belt and went at it. It was long doubtful who would be victorious; at length they both fell exhausted by the fight, and neither one of them was ever a well man again. The type of the Roanoke Islander of that day, and indeed in many re spects of this day, was size, muscularity, activity, alertness, heartiness, poise, cordialty, friendliness, self respect, hospitality. The representatives of that general type of 'the Roanoke Is lander in the past were the Baums, the Etheridges, the Meekins: j All the Baums lived to be old men;! There were, we think, five brothers of them. all men of great height, size and mus cularity. Of the Etheridges, old Un cle Adam, above referred to, was a powerful man, very tail,: with; no su perfluous flesh. Young Adam, his son, was a large man of 2o0 pounds and with a hand and foot that was a warning and a menace to evil 'comers. Tart Etheridge, who is yet remem bered, was, we think, a son oif Uncle Adam. He carried his 300 avoirdu pois with the ease and: activity of a cat. Chauncy Meekins, we ?all remem ber, the soul , of hospitality, convivi ality and kindness and a man of ster ling character and strong horse sense The kindly poise of his eye quailed before no man living. Without obtru- siveness or sell assertion na held him self as the peer of any man! Chaunoy Meekins always entertained the judge and lawyers at Dare Court. He dis pensed an easy hospitality that was greatly enjoyed. A pitcher 'of old scuppernong wine was always on the sideboard and used ad libitum, but there was no inebriation,, if it could inebriate. How often have we peen the hale old man come into the room where eat the presiding Judge with lawyers crowned with honor and dis tinction. Sometimes he would make the announcement of a meaJ and ao- company it witn an oia-iaspined North Carolina scamper down or back- step. " rv I i All gone! all gone! Some remain of the olden type, but we are: now deal ing with the past. 1 j. 1 r We have often thought that with such a population, such natural resources, and such venerable historic memories to stimulate ambition, Roanoke Island must have hidden for itn the womb of time, some glorious dewlopments in industrial progress or other develop ment that would make it the cynosure of the world's expanded . eyes. But the time has not yet come, but in that Providence which numbers thousands of years but as days,j it j will come. Men of foreseeing segacity have seen the shadow of coming events of great significance in the hordscope -of this historic Isle. Capt. Tom Soujthgate always held that Roanoke Island was to be great center of trade, partiou iarly in the fish industry. Ahd the era is already in it i early idawn. Longing eyes are turned (o Old Fort Raleigh as the Mecca of ! the Anglican race in America. With a heart full of love for Roanoke Island and its re markable people, we have 'j shed bot tles of ink in an humble way, to accel erate its progress. We have thought that it not only had a great future as an emporium of the fish trade, put as the seat of a flourishing trade in fruits and vegetables. (We hate also sometimes thought it might be a fa mous game preservee for English pheasants or other fowl that could be easily domesticated and would be safe on the Island from escape or destruc tion. But all this is the speculation of an uncertain future. But its trade in fish is growing and the publjc eye is already-turned to old: Fort Raleigh with its cypress twined brow of sad but romantic memories. . EAT ONLY FRUIT. And You May Live to be Two -Hundred Years Old. As an 6ffset to the; popular im pression especially prevalent in this country that the important meal of the day is incomplete unless meat forms a part of it, a writer in Harper's "Weekly quotes Moiirens (author of "Human Longevity'') and Cuvier to the effect that man is of the frugivorous, or frjiit and nut eating class of animalst like the go rillas and other apes and monkeys. Man has not teeth like the i lions and carniverous beasts, neither has he teeth like the cows and hrbiv- erous ones. Intestines in the man are seven or eight times the length of his body. Herbivorous animals like the cow, have intestines forty- eight times the length of the bbdy. So, judging man by his teeth, his stomach and his intestines, he is naturally and primitively fugivor- ous (fruit eating), and was not in tended to eat flesh. Fruit is aperient, and apples act ori the liver, and are good brain food also,, as they contain much phosphoric acid. : I Flourens insists that a century is the normal life, but that fifty years beyond, and even two hundred years, are human possibilities under advantageous conditions. Hufe- land also believed in two hundred years as an extreme limit, j Sir James Chrichton Browne, M. D., concedes, in a late address, ! that Flourens was right. Duration of growth gives the length of! life. Hufeland held that the human body grows til the age of twenty-five, and that eight tunes the growth period was the utmost limit of man. But if twenty years be taken as the time of growth, even five times that will give us a century. . 1 The cotton planters of the South are this year receiving about 3 cents a pound more for their cotton; than they got last year. This is an ad vance of about 15 a bale.. Esti mating the crop this year at 8,000, 000 boles, which isx 2,000,000 under some of the estimates, the 3 cents a pound will bring $130,000,000 'more into the cotton States than last year. Mrs. Mary "Waletrs, of Bridge port, Conn., swallowed a hornet which alighted on a pair she was eating. In going down her throat the insect stung her on the tonsil. A physician relieved her of pain but her throat seems paralyzed and she has been unable to speak since the occurrence. The physician j does not think that the loss of ; speech will be permanent. ! THE TIME HAS COME AIX ARE READY. CI'TTING Tbe Summer Cirlt hne all Returned and are now thinking about their New Fall Bonnets and Fall Dresses. Even the Farmers have begun to Think about their Winter Clothes. "What shall I Wear and Where to Get it?" is nor the question. Yes, just at this time of year every body has returned from their sum mer vacation with their worn and faded garments' and are asking them selves where, oh where, shall 1 get my fall and winter out tit? Even the farmer who is now busy housing his crop and wandering how high cotton will go, has also begun to think about what he shall buy. He knows that the old lady must have a new dress, that Susie must have a cloak, that Charlie must have a new suit, and even the little babe must have a new cap. All these things are in the mind of many, and too, he feels 'now that the good old times are coming back, that cotton has taken a jump, that now he will get as much for one bale as he did last year for two. Yes, my dear old farmer friend, you deserve all the good things, and they are coming to you. Yes, but money will not be so plentiful, that you will not have to display some prudence, or judgment how or where-to spend it. All stores do riot sell at the same price. Some buy in big-quantities and can under sell the smaller merchant. Some pay spot cash, and the difference is so great between buying for cash and on credit that you will often wonder where the fellow gets his goods; they are so cheap (the merchant that pays the cash). Do you run a store account? Then the merchant wilh whom you are trading with, has already marked his goods high enough to accomodate you. He knows too, that you will spend your cash with him this fall, because you are under obligations for His favor to you. Listen! Take your hard earned money and look, for the best place to spend it. If Mitchell the New Man, the Cash JIan, is the leader in low prices, then why not spend it with him? He Las just re turned from all the big cities, with a stock of goods so large that his store will hardly hold them. His assort ment of Dress goods is so large that it takes one whole side of his store to shelve them. He has the latest no v elties and at prices within the reach of all. The liue of 25 cent, dress goods' will surprise you. . Never before did 50 cents buy such values in dress goods. Think of this : The best all wool wide wale storm serge, and the fine twilled French, Navy and Black only, 44 inches wide. These will not rip, slip, ravel, rough up, or pull and can't be matched anywhere at the price 50. cents. Our Fany, all wool Boucle and Mohair effects, we are running at 50 cants; some are asking 65 cents, There are more than a hun dred pieces of new dress goods here from which to choose. Do you want fine novelties? They are ''here.- Is it a modest sum your purse holds and must you have the lowest price? Come here. Have you seen the pretty Crepons We have them at 10 cents a yard. Others are asking more. Remember we keep everything a lady wears. Now a wordto the men, to that "good old farmer:" During jthe past week some four hundred ready-made suits of clothes have been received, also about two hundred extra xioats and pants. These suits range in price from $3.50 to $10.00 per suit. Each are ready whenever you are. It has been our experience that the early buyers get the best; -certainly the choice of the greatest assortment. We pride ourselves on onr clothing as being the best in the city at such low prices. Men's all wool Cheviott Pants, Black and Blue, good quality, at $1.50. We mean the kind that sells for $2.00 at other places. Every day Pants Black Cheviott at 75 cents per pair. . If you are looking for a good suit of clothes for a little monev, come here. We do not charge twelve- dollars fora suit and take five dollars. We do business cn the square. Your money back if you are not satisfied. We've been in business 15 years and know where to buy goods so as we can sell them. We allow no one to under sell us. No trouble to show goods, wheth er you buy or not. MITCHELL, The New Man, Water Street, Elizabeth City. . HOUSEHOLD III2STS. A new filling for sandwich made for company occasions has finely chopped almonds mixed with cold boiled chicken that is cut into tiny pieces. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and moisten with a lit tle thick, sweet cream, until you have1 a paste that will spread Dicely. Uuse with thin slices of either Ijrown or white bread. Large oysters are very nice baked in the shell. Dip them in melted butter, sprinkle with a little parseley chopped very fine, then with pepper, and put in the shells. Add to each a little lemon juice and a covering of fine bread crumbs, set the shells in a quick oven and bake until the crumbs are browned. Serve in the shells. . Those who can afford more than one chiua dinner set still show a preferance for white and gold, if their fancy is for subdued elegance. If color is liked, apple green with gold.is frequently selected, . for the reason that it "lights up," as the dealers say, more brilliantly than most other colors, and under artin cial light is softer than by daylight, The best dinner sets of the kind have the body'of a beautiful white with a creamy tint, surrounded by wide bands of color on : which the gold designs are traced.
