A Millionaire's Advice to Young Men.
A well known millionaire, with a national reputation for conservatism, said in
conversation the other day: "If 1 were a young man anxious for independence, I
would invest mv saviners in a small niece of eood real estate. When I had it paid
for I would put the de-id away and forget
on another.
Doubtless over; man has felt at some time that be would like to be a land holder.
That he would like t have a little piece of this earth of this great country that
he could call his own. This is a worthy sentiment, but to select his piece of land
in thn lioart of a r alons community, where the mere pressure of population is
tlicro to increase the value of his holding,
combined with business.
It unquestionably strengthens a man's character to own property increase bis
responsibility. If he can tie himself up, and is obliged to make regular payment
he is sure to save. 1 he trouble is be allows the chancs to pass. He Is going to
becrin next month. Rich men talk of the importance of a man' first Thousand
Dollars Why not his first Hundred or his

Increase In Tobacco
Acreage.
Ralkigh, March 80. March has beet,
nearly all of It, an April, but yesterday
It took a turn and became February.
Rain and wind, a cutting wind from the
northeast, made the day most unpleas
ant, and today almost Its equal.
. At the Soldiers Home today Joseph N.
Orell died, aged 61. He served In Co.
G. 22rd Regt. N. C. troops, and Charles
C. Blacknell was his first captain. He
was from Henderson.
It is asserted very positively .that the
acreage In tobacco In this section will
be doubled this season. There will be
perhaps as much cotton planted as there
was last year. Labor Is scarce and un
certain, this Is 'particularly the case at
cotton-plcklcg season. Tobacco Is a
far easier crop handled, demands less
labor, and Is always out of the way be
fore bad weather comes, so that the
family of the grown can lend valuable
aid In breaking after it.
There are now 173 pupils In the Insti
tution for the white blind and 170 In
that for negro deaf-mutes and blind. All
the counties save 11 are represented In
the Institution lor the white bllud. Sup
erintendent Ray says he thinks there are
100 to 125 blind who have never been at
tht Institution and perhaps 2$ to 60
who have attended it once but did not
retum. No Improvements of the build
ings will be mado this year or next year,
the Legislature hkvlag been forced to
cut oft the special appropriation of 10,
000 for each of the year 1903-4 for that
purpose.
There are now only 132 convicts In
the penitentiary. The total number of
State convicts Is 850. Of these 200 are
on the "Caledonia'' State farm on the
Roanoke river. It is expected that the
new plant for making brick In the
prison will bo In operation by the end
of April.
Insurance people say that while Janu
ary was a bad month for flro losses, there
has been less loss during February and
March In the State.
There will probably be a meeting here
tomorrow In regard to North Carolina's
participation in the World's Fair at Bt.
Louts. Ten thousand dollars uiuBt be
raised In order to get that amount from
the State. The legislative act so promises
Mow the question Is how to get tho $10,-
000.

Musical Entertainment.
There will be musical and literary en
tertainment In the Odd Fellows ball on
Queen atreet Wednesday and . Thursday
nights which will be given for the bene
fit of the Ebenrzer (colored) Presbyte

The programme will consist of vocal

best talent In the city. Among the par
ticipant are such names- as Charles
Harris, Prof L R Selby, Georgia A Rich
ardson and the Elm City Quartette. An
enjoyable time Is sua red all who at
tend.
The proceeds of the entertainment
will be used for repairs on the church
which wu. badly damaged in a recent
storm. The work will require, about
$700. The cause Is surely a worthy one
