FAT PoCKETBooKs.-Mr. Henry H.
Powell, who owns the "Oaks" farm neal
Raleigh Ceased by the ~Penitentiary au-
thorities) was in good spirits last week be-
cause not only had the 'Oaks" made =
good crop of tobacco: but also certain
colored tenants of other small tracts be-
longing to him had fattened their peck
etbooks with the weed. We saw the
cheques which these men had received;
and their different grades ranged in price
per pound as follows -
Grant Thomas got 9, 20, IS, so, 81,
80, 81, and $50.
Gooch Bryan got I, IS, 81, Al, SO, ".
Lawrence Hinton got I, 1926. 1915,
26, SO SO, and 81.
Another colored tenant of MI. Pwoll
whose name We forget got equally good
prices. The lots ranged from 20 to so
pounds.
These prices were obtained at the
CAPITOL" and at the FARMERS
warehouses. As the poet says-''There's
life in the old land yetv' provided you
know how to weed bright yellow weed)
your own row! And then know how to
cure the weed. Several Wake county
farmers raised splendid crops, but were
damaged by bad curing. Mr.. Mays who

hear.

....Why not recognize the services
and ability of an editor occasionally ?
Surely they should come in for their
share OF the public patronage. They
work hard enough for Through theirs
is an unselfsh labor, rarely ever with
an eye to anything else but the public
good-and deserve more than they get.
We heartily second the following from
the Elizabeth City Falcon, when it
says:
THE Falcon would be highly sratiGed
to see the office of Deputy Collector of
Customs for the port Of Elizabeth City
under President Cleveland rendered to
its esteemed townsman, Col. Richard B.
Greecy, who has SO long and so valian-
thy battled for the triumph OF Demo-
cratic principles"
Speaking of the Raleigh postmaster
ship, we would like to see thus honored
than Capt. Shotwell of the Farmer and
Mechanic. He would make a good Off
cial, in any capacity, and none there
are more deserving of substantial recog-
milton at the hands of the Democratic
party. Let his friends rally to his sup
port for the post office, or some other
good position under the government
