Ilow Floe North Carolina Tobacco Came to bo Called. -'Virginia Brlguts." Of all the contradictions ever arrayed against indisputable facts, of all the wrongs committed against existing rights, of all baseless claims ever made against anthontio priority, of all the arrognnoe that lays titlo to name and fame to that w hich brings houor and profit to its originator and almost Bole - produoer, nono are so Unfounded as those -which attaches the name of "Virginia Bright" to the Unrivalled leaf of North Cnrolina. It was in North Carolina it hat! its origin; it was here it made its home, it is here it ia Oeetiocit to live wiihoutthe fear of suc cessful competition. For with the ex ception of portions of Halifax end Pitt syivnuU counties, in Virginia, it re mains the exclusive glory of North Carolina. Nor it is coullned to the section in which it origiuuted or rath er where the process that has bo magni fied tobacco wan Bret perfected In that fraction, Caswell and Person, Graovil.'o mill Vnnce, Orange and Dur ban), Wnke mill Chatham, Alamance "nnd Guilford, Rockingham and Stokes, Forsyth and Surry; in the east, Nash and Edgecombe, Pitt and Greene, Halifax end Wilson, Loaoirand Wayne; in the west, Uuncombo and Madison, Yancey and Mitchell, Haywood and Swain, are not only largo producers of tobacco, but also of bright tobacco, the solo difference in quality boing that derived from longer experience ta the processes 'of cure; and from these and other counties not named, are derived nino tenths of the tobacco that goes on the foreign market as Virginia Brights. Bnt perhaps the censure we naturally fcfflx upon Virginia for the absorption of an houor properly belonging to North Carolina may be modified by the reflection that the application of her name to onr property was, to some 'extent, natural end unavoidable. From time immemorial our tobacco was taken to her markets and shipped -from her ports. It never went to any 'North Carolina port except in past period when the heavy tobaccos, in their coarse packages, of Chatham, grange and some other counties, found their way to sea out of Wilming ton by way of Fayetteville. The rest went to Riohmoud, and thence to Europe. There it received the name of the State from whioh it was shipped. Virginia was not reluctant to appropri ate the honor thus implied, and was quite willing to be magnified, even at the expense of her neighbor. lHt NEWS EPITOMIZED Vfuhlnsrton Items.
