One naturally expects to find the local news in the daily paper, but is frequently disappointed by the omission of something that should have been published. Probably the first thought of the reader is for the negligence of the reporter. Now, it happens that the reporter of local items is almost entirely de pendent upon his own eyes and ears. And he is not omnipresent. And he does not yet enjoy the ac quaintance of everybody who comes and goes, and tboae around are fre quently as unfortunate. And your friend arrives, lives, moves and has his being, and departs unannounc ed. Which is to be regretted and may be avoided if you will only let us know. Will you ? Phone us, write us, hold up your hand,' or make any kind of a sign. Whisper it, if you wish. —Greenville Reflec tor. , —.

The child dty born aad bred has fewer opportunities for acquiring a sound, practical knowledge of the essentials of life than the child born iu the country. The farmer's boy may not have the polish of the dty boy, he may not be able to talk so understand ingly of the current events which take place ia towa, his bands may sot be so soft and miuuth, and be may not so often think of bow Us finger nails look, bat of real, use ful, practical knowledge ho has ten times aa much as the dty boy. The farmer's boy knows the birds, the beasts, the trees, the va rious plants; ho caa pretty accu rately foretell the weather, aad if he sees a good bona or caw be knows it. He ia a good judge of character, aad later on hi Nfc he will aot be readily takea ia by sharpers aad frauds. Say what yoa like sheet the old "hayseeds," they are not half so greeu as they look. He breathes the purest sir that lies out of doors. He feels the sun shine fresh from the eternal fount and not held in solution by clouds of smoke or gases from some pois on-distilling manufactory. He is alive all through. He has s jolly good time in life, snd by snd by when he has made his mil lions in some stuffy counting house he will look back to his life on the farm with a regret that is akin to pain. Let no living person decry the country. To live in a pure atmoa phere, to see dsily unfolding be fore the eye the wonderful problem of the seasons—old, bat ever new, to watch the sunrise and the sun set tinge the mountain tops with the light no artist's brash can ever imitate, to love the gentle snimals aud the singing birds which are ever around the child of the coun try,—why.lt is but a step to the perfection which we hope may come to us when the glad new life opens up to us in the mystical Be yond.

Fretwell, of Manchester, has furnished The Times for publication a very sim ple and inexpensive recipe for man ufacturing flavored leaf tobacco. He has patented the process and re ceived a small royalty for its use. Mr. Fretwell nays SSO is ample cap ital for the fwrtner to work on. The ingredients and properties are: One part salt, three parts sugar, six parts Ucorioe, and one drachm sac carbine. This ia the recipe: Poor the sugar into a clean pot and pour in dean water until it coven the sugar half inch. Boil this slowly until it thickens (ropes down from the paddle and changes to a darker color), then it is cook ed. Stir it continually. Chop up the licorice fine (with axo) and put H ia the pot with Hugar; pour in three gallons of clesr water; keep it below a boiling point until licorice diaaolvea_ (until yoa can't find a hunp); stir it continually; take pot «i fire and put in the salt, then dissolve saccarhinc in one or two gallons of hot water and pour in the pot; then, when pot is cool, set saccrometer in pot and pour iu clean water until it rests at 10. Then keep solution as warm as you can bear your hands in it and dip the tobacco into the bottom of pot every time. Attach a common clothes wringer to the pot, run the bundles of tobacco through this wringer tail foremost. Bulk it twelve hours then shake out. Hang it on sticks or lay it 011 dryers and fire it (flue heat) at from 125 to 140 degrees by thermometer for twelve hours); or more, until dry (never less than twelve hours); let it hang. When leaf orders and half of stem is dry, lay it straight in box and spray rum lightly over each layer, and dust over lightly (very lightly) powdered cinnamon or other dry flavoring (cassia); press down each layer with a man's weight on an inside heading. Then stamp and sell. The above is for flavored leaf in bundles. If you wish to put it in penny goods shape to retail, after the tobacco has been shaken up from bulk of twelve hours from wringer, take the butt of the stem in the left hand and fold it around the end of the fingers, tucking the tail under fold, and stick down on bench or table and dry it. When dry put it in box to draw. Watch it As soon as it will give to the squeeze of the hand without crack ing, then put it in ten-pound thin kiln-dried boxes, with tin-foil or oil paper between the layers, then stamp and sell to merchants, or wrap it into paper packages in quarter or half pound sizes off of dryers, and stamp this package and sell it off of wagon through the country. You will find it saleable. The world wants a clean leaf chew at 40 cents per pound, which wIU net 15 cents for the tobacoo -Rich mpfld Titnoa.

The following interesting letter gives some information of value upon the above subject: Newbern, N. Sept. 17, 190 a Dear Sir : I am pleased to re port that the experiment of build ing roads by the mixture of sand aud clay has proven very success ful in this county (Craven), and the remits are highly satisfactory. Five weeks ago we commenced work with this method and we have now two miles of road graded to a uniform width, thoroughly ditched, with lead ditches to take off all the water from the road. We realise that this matter of drain age is one of the most essential feat ures of road buildiug. A mile and a quarter of the road has beeu clayed to a depth of 13 i itches, with good clay (this was formerly a sand road), and two or three inches of sand spread over the clay. For sometime the travel cut and rutted the road and made a very rough surface, but it is now packing and becoming hard, and requires very little attention, smoothing up and placing more sand where needed. The first half mile laid is now a good, substant ial road. It produces a feeling very much like macadam road in riding over it. The cost of this piece of road is much greater than, it otherwise would be on account of the distance we were compelled to haul the clay; in fact the cost of hauling the clay was fully eighty per cent, of the entire cost of buildiug the road. About S6OO per mile is the total cost of building this road; but other roads in the county, nearer the sup ply of clav, can be just as satisfac torily built for $l5O to S2OO per mile. We are very much pleased with the sand-clay process and arc ex tending the work as fast as is pos sible uuder the circumstances, Yours truly, -- WILUAM DUNN.— r r In almost any of the eastern or middle counties of North Carolina, where a good supply of clay is ob tainable, the cost of building these sand-clay roads should not exceed $l5O to $l5O per mile, and when we consider their wearing and last ing qualities (20 to 25 years), it will be easy to recognize their economy to our people. STATE HAPPENINGS. There are four Christian Science Churches in the State, the last be ing erected at New Berne. Figutes prove that Gov. Aycock has not been more lenieut lu par doning criminals than were his pre decessor*. A convention of the Appalach ian National Park Association meets in Asheville, N. C., October t.Sth, 190 a. ~ A woman prospector, Miss Marie Louise Wyatt, operating near Clear Creek, N. C., has sold five mines, it is stated, and continues to dis cover veins of ore. State Auditor Dixon has just finished grading the applications for pensions. There will be nearly ia,ooo x>n the roll, between 2,500 and 3,000 having been added this year. J, B. Evans, of Harbinger, N. C., has challenged the fanners of the State, to produce at the State Fair a dozen ears of corn whose combined length will equal that of a dozen ears of corn raised by him. The average length of the com mon school term in North Carolina for 1900 was 14.66 weeks, for 1902, 16 weeks. So it is seen that we have reached the goal—a four months term. The fact is satisfac tory, for it shows the onward march of education. The posting of the month's re ceipts and exports of cotton at the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, show the largestTSeptember busi ness ever done in the port of Wil mington.
