PRODIGIOUS GROWTH-RALEIGH As A
TOBACCO MARKET. Few enterprises in
this State, and none in this city, have
had such rapid growth as this new in
and a half ago. Until the oath of Sep
TENDER last not a pound of leaf tobacco
was sold in Raleigh. Now, there are
three, commodious, well arranged ware
houses, and they are managed by firms
that have the confidence of all who know
them. These gentlemen have gone lt,to
the warehouse business with a zeal and
enthusiasm that knows no fail and TO
them Is largely due the credit for having
already made Raleigh extensively and
fayorably Known as a tobacco market.
Not only is the tobacco raised BY our
Wake county farmers sold here, but
from every adjoining county there comes
every week and almost every day in the
week, farmers with their famous yellow
leaf. They go away satisfied with the
prices obtained and pleased with the
dealings Of our people. During the past
week, as bad as the weather has been for
hauling tobacco, gnments OF the leaf
have been sold here from Granville, Per.
son, Durham, Nash, Sampson, Arson
, and Mcdowell counties aud aerhaps
/ others. The fame Of Raleigh II a leaf

PRESIDENT BATTLES CARD.

CHAPEL HILL, n. c., Feb. IL, 50.
Editor Farmer and Mechanic:
| notice in several news papers mis-
apprehensions in regard to the University
which | desire to correct.
/. The authorities of the University
are not, as alleged, DESTROYS of extending
free tuition. No such proposal Is made.
The appropriation asked for-(Sl5,0 00)
is based on the continuance OF our re-
ceipt from students.
The law authorizing one INDECENT stu
dent from each county was passed 10
1866, nine yeers before the ~reorganlZa
ton. 1t was amended IN 1881, at my
instance, so as to require the fact of in
digency to be proved by the oaths of the
student and another witness. There
were before that date some cases, not ex-
cecding three or four, | think, OF APP
pointments of those whose parents were
able to a | have not heard OF any
violation of the law since. If any shall
be brought to NY notice | shall certainly
report the case to the County Commits
sioners and urge the revocation of the
appointment as required by law.
The Faculty, under authority of the
Trustees nave admitted, free OF tuition,
10 addition to county students, a few who
are preachers, or preparing for the minis
try, aud also some sons of preachers.
The reason for this action Is obvious and
will not, | am sure, be criticised.
With these exceptions re have required
tuition from all. Where money could
not be paid We have exacted notes, with
security, where security could be given.
Our collections are under the charge of
our Bursar, Mr.. Willie L. Patterson, late
of Durham. who is a good business man,
diligent and faithful. He has received
all the revenue from this source possible.
, Our object in applying to the Gen
eral Assembly is to extend the range of
instruction, to employ additional instruc-
tors ard add to our apparatus and lib
rary. 1t is not to make the Faculty in
dependent Of tuition receipts. But for
these expected receipts We would ask for
$6, 900 more at least.
3. The Trustees and Faculty intend
to raise the standard of admission into
the University as rapid as the preliminary
training of the schools will admit They
have resolved not to have a preparatory
department. They desile to be in perfect
harmony with the colleges and other
institutions of the State. They think
that it would be injurious to the Univer-
sity and the State that such accord should
not exist. They are confident that this
harmony will be promoted by giving the
University means of charging its work
and raising its standard. There are large
numbers of young men in the State, now
at home, who could if they would, be
members of some college or University.
BY proper encouragement of higher
education the desire for it will be stimu-
lated and from the ranks of these boys
the numbers of all our institutions Will
soon be largely increased.
Very Respectfully.
KEMP P. BATTLE.
President.
