Those of our subscribers who owe for th paper are expected to come -forward and settle. - Soros of them owe for more than a year, and wo must insist on ft settlement. It is an imposition on aa to have to em ploj a moo to go put to collect these amounts which are honestly du6, and no honest man will expect us to resort to such a course. We - hope J ou will hare the manhood to come orward and settle without putting; us to any extra expense. With the uhurintton at onlv 11.00 a rear we cannot ses how you can expect us to do so.

Tobacco Planters Adopt Jordan's Plan. The Executive Committee The Stato Association of Tobacco Growers at Raleigh lust weed adopt ed by. a practically unanimous vote the rough draft of a contract to form a busla of an agreement between the organization and capitalists who agree to furnish money tobandlo the tobacco crop when 90 per . cent, .of the growers of bright tobacco have signed the contract) Tbo agree ment is the same as that formulated by tho committee on plans . at the Wednesday night session and, in full, is as follows: ' , - "Wo agree to enter into a contract with J. F. Jordan and his associates to sell to them our ' tobacco raised during the next five years at an ad vance of not less than 15 per cent, over the prices of the same grado of tobacco during tbo last five years, Jiie said price to be fixed by a com mission, a majority of whom shall represent the seller. "Wo further agreo to take stock with said Jordan and his associates, a corporation which shall be formed for tho purpose of manipulating and disposing of said tobacco sold to J. F, Jordan and his associates to the extent of not less than 15 per cent, of the value of our said tobacco. The details of this agreement shall be hereafter arranged so as to carry out the true intent and. meaning of this agreement. ' If we make default in this agreement in any particular we agree to forfeit to said corpora tion the said stock so taken. And we further, .recommend; for.' our mutual benefit that the fatmers of North Carolina reduce their crop at least 25 per cent, below the past year's production. We invito thw co-operation of Virginia, South Caro lina and other sections which grow bright tobacco." . .. . This is not intended as the specific contract that tho individual farmer will be asked to sign. ;It is merely the embodiment of what the associ ation deems necessary to offer as an inducement to the capitalists whom Mr. Jordan declares to be willing to back the enterprise and is intended only to set before tho farmers, in general terms, the ossentials of the contract afterward to be signed by the individual farmer. , -. , On this plan it is the purpose -of the association to ''appeal to the country." Organizations will be perfected' in' every township and county of the tobacco section in ac cordance with the plan of organiza tion adopted. The contract will be discussed and the tobacco grower familiarized with its main features. When the requisite 90 per cent, have agreed to sign the contract, then a State convention will be called, delegates will be sent up from the county bodies in the regu lar way and the Stato convention will name a committee toconfer with representatives of the capitalists, and with them a definite contract will be formulated and agre ed upon, submitted to the convention; and ratified. This contract will, then be submitted to the individual tobacco growers, and "when 90 per cent, have signed it, the organization-will be perfected, and the capitalists on their part will put up the money necessary to handle the tobacco crop. '". It was the sentiment of the asso ciation that the work of organizing in the counties and townships should begin at once and should be vigorously pushed,' It is expected that at some time during the year a joint meeting of the tobacco growers of North Cjirolina' and Virginia will be arranged, so thaf all growers of bright tobacco may berought into harmony and may unite on a plan of opposition to the American Tobacco company.

We regret to chronicle the death of Mrs. Caroline Matilda Mann, which occurred at her home near Battleboro last Saturday morning after a lingering illness. Mrs. Mann was 67 years old and was the mother of Messrs W. R. and B. D. Man and Mrs. Elizabeth Carter, the latter of tKis city. The interment was made at the old homestead Sun day afternoon, tho services , being conducted : by - Rev. E. E. Rose, Quite a large crowd of sorrowing friends and relatives were , present to pay a last sad tribute of , respect to the deceased, who was inceed a most excellent lady. Our sympathies are extended to the bereaved oues. Believed to Be a Fraud. . For some time a white man pur porting his name to be. W. H. Ham ilton, and claiming to be represent ing the Southern Art League, of Richmond, Va., has been operating in the Red Oak neighborhood so liciting orders' for enlarging pic tures, requiring the people to' . pay fifty cents when the order was giv en. Those people who had given him orders, believing the man to be a swindler went to work to capture him. On-Sunday evening he was arrested, and brought to this place on Monday for trial, but owing to lack of evidence the case . has been continued until Friday evening. The prosecution claims they will show the man not to be W. II. Ham iltn, but Frank Corwin, and that there is no such concern as the Southern Art League, but that Cor win, alias Hamilton, and the above named league is a fraud of the whole cloth. -""" Hamilton is now in jail awaiting trial which will be given next Fri dap evening. ; s " : A negro created some excitement here Tuesdav night by going to a colored woman's bouse and threat ening to kill her if she did not give ira money. Ho pretended being crazy. He was locked up. IN THE PHILIPPINES. A Nash County Boy Writes His Parents From Cavlte. (Continued from last wuok.) , 7th day, Friday Aug. 25. The day broke with a calm sua clear slcy and warm sunshine.,. There was a rumor abroad that a private of Co. A. bad died during the night of typhoid fever, but the rumorprovod to be false. The mau is sick but was considerably bettor this morn ing Instead of dead. All tho com panies quarters were searched thl. morning on account of some steal iuj being dono from the ship's cargo. The rations issued to us is very small and Insufficient to satisfy ones hunger, and some of the boys taken it upou themselves to raise a hatch and go in the bold, consequently the ship has lost several cases of sal mon and tomatoes which were destined for the regular army at Manilla. Seven privates were placed under arrest for having stol en goods in their possession. The moon rose bright and a stiff breeze is blowing from the west. 8th day, Saturday Aug. 26. The usual morning inspection of quar ters and arms. Weather cloudy and choppy sea. Run into a fog bank about 9:20 a. m. and could not see 50 yards in any direction. Tho fog whbtlo was blown at intervals of 5 minutes till we emerged from the fog at 11:30 a. m. Tho rest of the day was clear but foggy again dur ing tho night. 8th day, Sunday Aug. 27. There was no drill or inspection this morning on account of its being Sunday. Nothing of importance oc curred. At 12 noon we were just 2,227 miles from San Francisco and 5.527 from where we started, and 19 days since leaving Brooklyn. 10th day, Monday Aug. 28. The sun rose bright and clear and the day was lively up till about 3 p. m. when a stiff wind began to blow from west by north and the sea be gan to get rough and steadily in creased till at 10 p.' m, we have at tained the highest seas we have yet seen. All the awnings on the spar deck havo been rolled and are tight ly lashed and the two upper decks are deserted. A regular hurricane is blowing from the west. Ilth- day. Wed. Aug. 29,,- This is the highest sea and -roughest weather 1 have ever seen. Themauy storms I have read about are mate rialized. The seas are rolling moun tain high, one minuto we seem to be hi a great valley with a mountain in front of us the next instant the boat seems to stand on end and then we are on top of the mountain. ; It seems as if the boat will surely go over and every minute will be our last but tho ships crew doesn't seem to think anything of it all. No one can stand on deck, tho boat , turns very .near on her side and you slide from one side of the ship to the oth er and only stop . when you reach the railing: Eating is almost out of the question. We pass ; by the galley with our mess plates and get our little spoon of beans and stewed prunes and one third" of a loaf of bread and one half pint coffee and by the time we get to a convenient place to cat it we have nothing left but bread and -coffee and often not the coffee. The ship's baker is hav ing Bis troubles. He doesn't need to use any yeast as the bread will rise with the motion of the ship. It is a common thing to see a pan of bread coming down the deck from the bake shop with no one to attend to it. You wjll doubtless wonder how I could be in such a light frame of mind when death and danger seemed so near but these notes were not written up till the storm had passed. Today the ship careened 33 degrees to the port side and 40 degrees is aH that she will stand. The soup for dinner slid over and we had nothing hut bread and water. We crossed the 180th meridian of longitude today and had to drop a day to catch up, with the eastern time so Tuesday Aug, 29th passed by without us knowing it Wo went to bed Monday night Augusi 28th and got up Wednesday morn ing August 30th, and found ourelves in Eastern longitude. 12th day out, Thursday Aug. 31st. The sea continues as rough as it Was yesterday and a good many of the boys are again getting sea sick. No one could sleep last night but still we wero made to stay below decks and our sleeping quarters are anything but pleasant. We have no means of ventilation except the hatchway which is inadequate. The smell is terrible and the warm at mosphere is almost unbearable aod is of itself sufficient tocause seasick ness to say nothing of tho moss made by tho sea (sicks vomit. Our bunks arc in tiers 3 high Tho man in the bottom bunk gets the woi'ht of it on tho two above him stick out their heads aud allow everything to como out thoy havo calcn for a week aud it remains right llieiv till next day.. Sometimes a port Iwlo gjts open nud complotoly suijsmirgi'H tho deck and the men iu tlm bottom bunks are about a foot under water. I was ono of the men in u bottom !)uuk. Last night it was iuipo tbible or ono to remain in any ono p):.i iiou 3 minutes at at a time uud al most impossible to remain in your junk; several men using their knup sak straps to strap thcmtsolvcs in. We made an attempt at guard mount ing this morning but a very poor attempt. The first section of my company was on. All tho prisoners were released lastnight, I suppose on account of the storm, in caso any thing serious should, happen they would have aa much chance for their lives as any one else. 3 p. m.. ' The sea is still rough, sometimes the boat careens so far to tho side . that it seems as if she will surely goover and the boat docs not seem any too rapid in righting herself. Several of tho boys have got out their testa ments and are beginning to read tho scriptures but I am sorry to say a great many of them have no thought of their soul and don't seem to care whether the ship' stays on top or goes to the bottom. The storm causes mo to remember some ot our old Sunday school songs. To see the big mountains of water makes one think of 'While the nearer wa ters roll while the tempest still is high, "and at night when we turn on our sides we remember the song "I'll stand by you till the morning, I've come to save you do not fear." While the storm is pretty rough still there is not tnc least clanger apprehended by tho officers. It is scary only to those who never saw the liko before but as for myself I don't see how it could be any worse. (Continued next week.) To Public School Teacher.
