In, au article in the Observer several
days ago about tobacco, we stated that it
would fetch 5. cents a .pound. It should
have been 15; cents. 5"VVe learn on good
authority that bright ' tobacco ' can be
grown , in this countv that will sell for
from 10 to 40 cents a pound. 12i cents is
said to be a very low estimate for an aver
age. Besides the other gentlemen we have
mentioned as going to raise tobacco, Rev.
6. R. ,Hall has signified his intention I to
plant a crop.
There are men in this city ready to build

The Cubans Recognized.
The people of Fayetteville as well as
those of the whole United States are re
joicing to-day. Yesterday the United
States Senate adopted a resolution grant
ing belligerent rights, to the Cuban pa
triots. The Honse will probably concur as
heattily as the Senate in adopting it. The
President is opposed, to Cuban Liberty as
he appears to be opposed to many other de
sires of the people and what action he will
take is not known.
A Press despatch of this morning says:
By the overwhelming vote of 64 to G, the
Senate adopted a concurrent resolution favor
able to Cuban belligerency and independence.
The resoiutions adopted, are as follows:
The resolution in full is as follows:
Resolved, By the Senate (the House con
curring), that in the opinion of Congress as a
condition of public war exists between the
government of Spain and the government pro
claimed and for some time maintained by
force of arms bv th neonla of (JnhA! and thah
lain a strict neutrality oetween tne contend
ing powers, according to each all the rights of
belligerent in the ports and territory of the
United States.
Resolved, That the friendly offices of the
United States shall be offered by the Presi
dent to the Spanish government for the re
cognition of the independence of Cuba.

Electric Lights Headed.
f Mr. Editor: I noticed an article in yes
terday's issue that the Board of Aldermen will
hold a special meeting uext week to consider
a proposition for lighting the streets. It is to
be hoped that the Board will not consider any
bufElectric Lights.
Gas for street lighting is out of date, and no
progressive town would think of it for a mo
ment.' ' ' . A -
The present lights are but little better than
none, and only serve to make the darkness
more intense. ,
'Give us Electric Lights on the principal
thoroughfares, and those who live in the by
streets and outer edge of the town will be
content with an occasional Gas Light at eligi
bls points. . y Progress.
