We sincerely regret that our Su

is, who will Gov. Jarvis appoint as
his successor ?

The Calamnities qflSSS.
On the fourth page of this paper
we publish a list of the principal ac
cidents for the pat twelve months
We say the principal accidents, for
there are thousands of disasters that
are not mentioned in the lit. This
list shows how 143,000 persons have
come to their deaths during one year
and the greater part of them without
the lea6t warning. Truly 1883 has
been a year of horrors
Xorlfa Carolina at Denver.
If North Carolina keep3 moving
forward as she has for the last few
J ears they will have to quit cal
ling her the "Rip Van Winkle State"
She made a fine display at Atlanta,
her display at Boston is ahead of any
other state, and now news comes from
distant Denver that the Richmond
and Danville exhibit of North Carolina
gold, copper, iron and mica is attract
ing ranch attention-in Denver, the
"City of mines." The truth of it all
ia that North Carolina now has one of
the bst Govenor's she has ever had,
and it is to him, assisted by the offi
cers of the Richmond and Danville
in general and Col A. B. Andrews in
particular that the State is indebted
for the liberal advertising it has had
of late, and from which she is bound
to reap the greatest benefit
pins cash to pay year taxes and settle
with the editor for jour county paper.
At any rate, that is what many of you
tell the editor, and somo of you ray
you caut pay him at all uutil aftes
you sow yuur wheat or the circus
comes or something of that kind, and
that makea the tender-hearted editor
sad, very sad indeed. Well you ought
to have a cash crop that will enable
3ron to take as many papers as you
want, aud have money enough to
make the farm home cheerful and at
tractive, to educate your bright prom
ising boys and to buy tho girls an
organ or piano to make music for yon
during the long winter nights, and
you can have all these things and save
enough money every year to make a
very comfortable sum for a rainy day
if yon will only mean business, and
learn how to cultivate tobacco like the
successful tobacco growers are doing
all over North Carolina and as some
of your neighbors are doing right here
in Burke con sty. Your soil has been
analyzed by experts from the tab.icco
regiou, aud pronounced as fine as any
in the world, for NoUh Carolina to
bacco is now recognized as the most
valuable on the face of the globe:
Your soil is every whit as good as
that around Winstou, aud yet a to
bacco grower sold there this season
2824 pounds of tobacco for 2,166,41,
an average of $76,44 per hundred
pounds, some of this tobacco bring
ing as high as l.per pound, and 07 1
pounds selling for $574! There is no
earthly reason why like results may
not be attained in Burke, except thot
you are not experienced tobacco grow
ers, but it.does look like such facts as
the above aie enough to stimulate you
to make the effort to learn the secret
of tobacco culture, Pamphlets giving
the necessary information can be ob
tained from any tobacco warehouse
free of cost , and you can get the prac
tical proof of the success of tobacco
culture from your neighbors. Culti
vated intelligently, there 'can be no
doubt as to success. Eveiy one who
has given il a fair trial will tell you
that. There are good warehouses in
Asheville, Hickory, Statesviile and
Salisbury and we will soon have them
in Morgan ton. It is for you to say
whether or hot you will give it a trial
next year. What do you say about
it.

Death or a Orcat Farmer.
Faerish Fuemax is dead. He was
not a warrior, nor a statesman, nor a
politician. He was only a f aimer,
who died peacefully among his own
emifing fields.
"Nor you. ye proud impute to him the fault
If memory o'er his tomb no trophies raise
"Wherethrough thrt long-drawn aisle and
fetted vault.
The pealing - nth em swells the note of
praise."
Nor you, ye politicians, bring fourth
any "Dorsey'a Budgets" to heap in
famy upon his tomb, and to blot the
page of history on which his deeds
are written. He was not what the
world calls a hero, and yet he was a
victor, whs conquered the "stubborn
glebe" and brought back from his
bloodless campaigns the golden grain
and the snowy fleece of the cotton.
He was not known as an author, yet
Uis terse sentences one "intensive far
ming" and the "rotation of crops" have
dono more to advance the interests of
his native Southland than the fiction
of Cook or the poetry of Hayne. Far
rish Furaian, the farmer! Let him
be known to history as the plumed
knight of Earths most ancient chival
ry whose banner bears the legend
by the sweat of thy brow shalt thou
eat bread."

are the most ferocious of amphobia,
and are by some said to be the iden
tical Behemoth of Holy writ. Besides
these, and some hundred other at
tractive features of the menagerie,
there is a double-horned rhinocerous,
a veritable monster, weighing five
tons, and the only pair of wooly Malay
elephants exhibited. The great show
will be here on Friday Oct. 12. and
the magnet ic influence of its name
will draw thousands to visit it. The
Sells Brothers have al ways had the
best circus and ring performers in the
country, and the department this
year has been still farther enlarged,
with notable accessions from Europe
There is no question but that it is the
largest traveling exhibition now in
the country.
From the Richmond Va., Dispatch

is a big show; it is a clean show; it is
a respectable conducted show; it is a

liness, the size and convenienre of the
cages and the condition of the ani
mals. The visitor does not find a few
wornout specimens of ill. fed and
mangry animals, so constantly ex
hibited as to become as cows. All
the living things are well cared for,
and are, either from their kind, their
size, or their nature, rarely seen in
traveling shows.
