' Yesterday was another day for Demo cracy, at Snilthfleld thfs time, in Demo cratic Johnston. .. . . Hon. Locks Craig and Senator Jeter C. Pritchard met for the second time in joint debate on the political issue before the people. The debate was: in the court house, and there were between four and flvennndred people present They were mostly Democrats, except a thin sprlnk ling of negroes in one . little corner, quits a vnumber of Revenue Dood lers from Raleigh and other places, and a handful of "Inderepubpoplicana." The Pritchard following was scattered, and the applause for the boss sounded rather "sniptious" at times. ' Craig's speech was quite generally eon sidered to be better even than his mas terly effort at Kinston on Monday, and the crowd simply went wild at times. The enthusiasm was tremendous. Not a point was lost. -aIvS'"' ' Craig spoke first for one hour and fif teen minutes, and Pritchard olio wed, his speech lasting abont an hour and twenty mlnntes. i raig then had a re joinder of fifteen minutes. ' The debate was concluded by ab jut three o'clock, in order that the afternopn train for Fay ettevllle might be caugnt. ' " ' Senator Pritchard declared again that the trusts and protection bad nothing to do with each other He repeated Hanna's shlboleth . that there were good, trusts and bad trusts, and be was anx ious that the reporters should report bis argument,' especially as it applied to a tariff tax on lumber, mica, wool and other tree raw material, every syllable of which was embodied In his Greensboro speech and has been printed verbatim. In a desperate effort to recover from the sting that his record on Confererate and Deserters pensions had left, he aroused some enthusiasm by declaring that he was as good a friend to the old Confederate soldiers - as Craig or any other man, and as much In iavor of giv ing pensions to them. He said that he was trying to give them white supre macy and that he was going to do it. He was not going to leave- any negro in any post office In North Carolina, but he stated that In several instances in Bertie county, Vance and other counties when he attempted to have negroes turned out and- white men appointed, Democrats were writing him letters asking him to let the negrb.stay in. Referring again to the trusts, he read a special dispatch from Washington to the Charidtte ,Obseryer,''cla!m1ng' that Chairman Grlggd had .been.

TOBACCO SALES. About 375,000 pounds of tobacco was sold on tbe lotal market today, with prices averaging well op In the pictures. if was no unusual sight to see tickets marked 40 and 50 cents and even higher, and tbe farmers wow a satisfied expres sion on their faces. Tobacco has been selling well all along, but yesterday when some of the " big uns " of the A. T and the Imperial got on the breaks prices began to soar skyward, and it was evident to the most casual observer that there was something doing. It was stated by a reliable warehouseman that yesterday's sales were the highest this season.TStr. J, T. Barber," a veteran In the tobacco business, said that be con ducted the best a 1 round ; sale that be had in twenty-six years. The two days sales, yesterday and today, aggregated over 600,000 pounds, and the pace set in yesterday's prices has been , fully main tained today. Farmers from all sections were here and lots of the golden product was ship- ped here on the cars. Carts and wagons came in droves yesterday, last night and early this morning, as many as twenty in one string being counted, and the pro cession was kept up until! wen in the night. Everyone expressed themselves as being perfectly satisfied with the prices obtained on the Kinston ' market, and when a stranger sells , ale tobacco here a. customer Is made for tbe market, Kinston is the place for the farmer to sell bis tobacco and they all know it and are acting accordingly, . : : ' The Start to School My Jittle one has gone to school be went with shouts of glee, , . i And as he started out the door a" bab '.it' - went from, we-f t-s .

J The experiments with oil oh some of the roads in the vichifty of AuguBta, GjU are proving very satisfactory, and farmers coming into the city are high' ly pleased with the work. The first experiment, says the Augusta Herald, was made several weeks ago by Judge Eve at the stockade, but be thought the experiment had not been given a proper test when used under shelter and decided as soon as practicable to get on the road in the open with the oiL - " . . The experiment at tbe stockade was such a success that the grand jury recommended tbe use, of the oil ou the roads, and tbe Wrlgbtsboro thorough fare was selected, as the first to be given tbe treatment Farmers forcing into tbe city over that portion already covered say the travel has been greatly improved. They notice at once the ab sence of the dust usual on a dry, hot day and say their horses seem to real ly enjoy traveling over it , . Where the sun strikes the work the oil percolates with surprising rapidity, and In a couple of days the road is in good condition for traveling. After the bath tbe surface is left with a kind of spongy covering, yet of-a nature Into which the tires of tf vehicles do not sink or cut as might oe expectedf The experiment period is practically over now. and the new material will be used on road improvement throughout tne county tnis year. . .-THE COOKBOOK-, 1 Always salt any article where lard is used instead or butter, , . , A ben you are softening butter to make cuke, never allow it to melt If you do, the cake Will be heavy,' 1 Always keep olive oil in therefrtger ator and1 tightly corked; Never pot more oil in the table crnot than-two days supply. -tIt will grow rancid.
