John will, after all, have to go bHck into politics, and the astronomers will have to wait until after the election to discuss the Newton theory with him. Vniional Campaign fund.

Thus fund is daily increasing, and we "V the people of Fayetteville will come forward and help swell the amount. It. ls an object worthy of our best efforts. ITI 07 Make Cumberland Rich. A discovery that may lead to great wealth for Cumberland, has been made bv- a Cumberland County boy, Mr. Milton Hay. It is the fact that Cuban tobacco can be grown successfully on certain lands in Cumberland County. Mr. Ray is a young man of more than ordinary intelligence, and while in Florida last year ohtained all the knowledge he could of tobacco from Cubans, and secur ing some of the seed of Cuban tobacco, brought it to Cumberland. With his know ledge of the soil required he purchased a place in upper Carver's Creek, about a mile from the Cape Fear River, and plant ed two acres in tobacco as an experiment. Now be has in his barn over a thousand pounds of Cuban tobacco of the kind used for fine cigars. This tobacco Mr. Ray says will bring 30 cents a pound for fillers, and 60 for rappers at the lowest estimate. This tobacco does not have to be cured like the native weed, it requires no arti ficial heat at all. Mr. Ray brought some of the tobacco to the Observer office last Saturday, and taking several leaves twist ed them in a twinkling into a well shaped cigar. Notwithstanding the unfinished state of'the tobacco, the cigar smoked ex ceedingly well, and had the Havana flavor. Th is may be the entering wedge of pros perity, who can tell.
