About the Size of 1t.
From the Dnnuilie Reg,>tcr,

1t is a significant fact that the
Lynchburg Tobacco Exchange boasts
that they have the largest loose tobac-
co trade in the world, throw out col
umns of figures to back their statis-
tics, but forget to add what is the
money value of the vast amount of to-
bacco they claim to have sold. The
assertion that they have the largest
tobacco trade in the world shows that
it is not nodesty that causes this omis-
sion and we naturally conclude that
the money value is Intentionally omit.

ing the inferior quality of tobacco sold
in that boastful market.

APPEAL TO YOUNG DEMOCRATS.

Young Democracy to Begin the Era of
Earnest Reform In Pennsylvania.
From Lancaster Intellieencer.
The young Democracy, untainted
by the era Of corruption which followed
in the wake of war, come fresh from
a nobler heritage than that begotten
by that long crusade of greed. On
them the redemption of the Common
wealth devolves. An active, earnest,
working will put to flight the demor-
allied cohorts of rascality and plunder.
The instinct of common honesty is no
weaker in Pennsylvania than in her
sister States, and that powerful cham
pion fights by their side and leads the
fight. Fresh hearts and hopes are
those which must the longest live, and
upon the vigor, courage and intelli-
gence of young and sturdy manhood
the future must depend. The decline
of public virtue is the greatest curse
of social life. Indifference and SUI
piness cultivate callous heart; moth
ing can save from future ruin coun-
try Indifferent to reform. When the
country gave to Mr.. Tiiden a popular
majority of more than million of its
white vote, it said in thunder tones its
heart was on the side ofpublIc honesty.
The future of peace is on the side. of
public honesty and the future of con-
tentment and ofprogress. The future
of youth and childhood is all with
public honesty, the future of every
development guaranteed by a. free
citizenship is there.
1t rests with the young Democracy
of this mighty Commonwealth, which
that pure patriot and useful public
servant, Ex-senator Buckalew, affec-
tionately termed "the mother of us all"
in the course of the constitutional de
bates--it rests with the active energies
of this flower of our honest citizenship
to begin the era of reform in earnest
in Pennsylvania. No labor could be
worthier of human hands; in the long
train of the blessings II would bring
everything men hold dear would be
affected. No fireside would fail to
feel its influence no life but would
| rejoice in its ultimate Effects, We
trust that, seizing the opportunity be-
fore it, the Democracy may strike a
blow for honesty in Office and respect
for the obligations Of the sacred cove
nant of the supreme law that will be
the beginning ola better day in this
tortured and plunder-ridden Common
wealth. There is no duty more press
ing, no business more important, no
work worthier our common manhood
than such work would be.

Newspaper Advertising Always Pays.
From the Fork, Pa, Dispatch.

z Recently Frank Siddal, the great
soap manufacturer of Philadelphia,
inserted an advertisement in the New
York World which cost over $4,000
for single publication. He made a
large fortune in a few years, and
claims that it all came from newspa-
per advertising. He never uses fence
painting or circulars. lie now spends
over 5000, 900 a year in newspaper adj

An Invaluable Citizen.
Frsss the Go{dsboro 4Arous.


F,,s~s the Goidsboro Argus.
Such man as w. T. Blackwell is
a treasure in any community, It is
stated that he has erected fifty-kine
buildings this year in the town of
Durham. He makes it rule to sell
these buildings at prime cost, and
six percent interest on the investment,
to parties wishing to become citizens
Of Durham. That is one way to in
vite immigration. That is public spirit.
Would that we had man like Mr..
Blackwell in every town in North
Carolina! You would see a very
different state of affairs in the dor
mant towns throughout the State.
Although the growth of Goldsboro is
sloa unsteady, yet with such a lead
ing spirit here, our population would
run UP to 10000 in a few years..
The example of Mr.. Blackwell is
worthy Of emulation.

modern magician, Jules Verne; that

hundred others, all passed their i'm
mortal pen-work, glittering with a
prismatic splendor and flashing with
electric rapidity before the mirror of
memory, and SO crowded the reflective
medium, that l became fairly dizzy

A REPORTER CONGRESSMAN.
How q Newspaper Man Surprised
Folks

tOkASs
2 New York letter writer tells the
following of newspaper man, who
will, it is the prophecy of his fellows,
make his mark in Congress this win
ter: Ii will not do to say that novel
methods of making a person known
to the public are not often productive
of valuable results. Col. Trneman E.
!. Merriman will be in Congress this
wiaAsers to represent one of the largest.
and most important of the New Y York
city districts. A year ago he was a
newspaper reporter, known among his
fellow journalists as an accomplished
man of wide experience and unassail-
able morals. Except in the writing
of city political news he had no con-
nection with politics, nor did he pos
seas any of the influence which is usu-
ally deemed essential to political pre-
ferment. Moreover, he was notably
a quiet, modest man, with the polite
ness of a Chesterfield. He remarked
one day to the editor over him that
he would rather like to be sent to
Washington as correspondent of the
paper. The reply was not acquiescent.
"Well, then," said the Colonel in a
casual tone, "I think 1 will go as a
Congressman" The remark was re-
garded as joke. But within five
days Merriman was out as stump
candidate. The politicians looked
upon his exploit as nonsense. The
incumbent Of the Office, Hardy, took
denomination and the other party
put forward their man. No organiza-
ton was behind Merriman, and his
plan did not contemplate the expendi-
ture of money other than in the small
est feasible quantity for legitimate
purposes. But his campaign was the
liveliest right from the outset that the
district had ever known. All the
newspaper friends Of the Colonel who
could make speeches volunteered.
Meetings were held in dozen differ
ent places every evening. The name
of Merriman was speedily made as ia
miliar as it had been totally unknown.
Nothing could be urged against him.
He had no career in politics to assuil,
while those Of his opponents could be
torn to tatters. He was triumphantly
elected with 1000 votes to spare. This
was such feat in politics as probably,
considering the circumstances Of Mer-
riman's lack of wealth, fame or any
popular hobby, cannot be duplicated
in the history of Congress.

WORK OF THE COURTS.
Divorce Day In the Superior Courtroom
vening the June Term-The City
Criminal Court.

Divorce Day In the Superior Courtroom
vening the June Term-The City
Criminal Court.
The Superior Court convened yesterday
at 10 O'Clock for the June term. The
grand jury was sworn and charged by the
court. In his charge, the Judge ask ed the
attention Of the jury to the condition OF
the court house building, and referred to
the limited accommodations which the
juries and officers of the court were
obliged TO put up with. The jury was
also charged relative to the different Of
lenses defined by the code, after which it
was discharged until Tuesday morning,
June 8.
The court then proceeded with the trial
| OF number divorce suits, first among
which was that of Belle Pullman against
Joseph G. Pullman. The petitioner in
TINS case alleged that she was married To
the defendant on June g.. 1873. 1t seems
that the husband, after the parties had
been living some time together, got into
the habit of drinking to excess and that
he repeatedly abused and cruelty treated
MS wife, and finally, during the month
of March, 1884, deserted her alto
gether, leaving her no property or
means Of any kind for her support. The
defendant failed to put in any defense for
his conduct, and the jury promptly grant
ed the petitioner second verdict for
total divorce.
Some time during the year 1873 Richard
Stafford, cOlOred, married Polly Stafford
at Beaufort, 5. c. The newly married
couple lived together until the first of
with Savannah negro named John
Jenkins, and, deserving her sick
husband, came to Georgia and
lived with Jenkins. The jury, after hear
ing the testimony in the case, granted the
applicant verdict for divorce, with per-
mission to marry again.
During the month of February, 1888,
James S. Tucker married a young woman
in this county named Alice Ferris. The
parties lived together about eight months,
when Alice deserted him. The petitioner
was granted first verdict of total
divorce.
Josephine Bourquin and Abraham Bour-
qun, cOlOred, were married on Dec. 9,
1880. Yesterday the petition of the wife
for divorce was tried in the Superior
Court. The applicant founded her suit
on the fact that Abraham became an ha-
bitual drunkard, and that he had cruelty
treated her. The parties finally separated
during the month of January, 1884, since
which time they continued to live apart.
The plaintiff was granted verdict of di-
vorce.
Benjamin and BETSY White, colOred,
were married on July 10, 1879, and lived
together about five years, when Betsy de-
serted the husbands bed and board and
became too intimate with one Joe Butler,
the fruit Of the mesalliance being an
Legitimate child. Benjamin brought
suit for divorce, which was tried tor the
second time yesterday, when the jury gave
a verdict favorable to the prayers of the
petitioner.
A number of cases on the civil docket
were called and dismissed, number were
continued and some were assigned for
trial.
The court then adjourned until this
morning at 10 o'clock.
