STRENGTH IN UNION.

Danville, Va, wants a tobacco
paper. Our we'll established Southern
T0bafeOnist is open to that market
next to first in our affections. This,
head of hogshead markets, and the
leader in loose markets, will have no
heart aches to heal and fears Of favor
itisms should the full share of Dan
ville's patronage fall upon us. One
strong tobacco paper in the State IS
better than several weak ones. There
is strength in union, if there is life IN
competition. We thus make our bow
and bid. Richmond is no rival, and
its 70bactonist a good hacker. The
twain should be one. Let all Of our
markets move in unison, making the
last decade of the Nineteenth century
memorable for ages to come.-Rlch'
mond Southern 7obacfonist.
There is sense and reason in the
above. One good paper is better thar
two poor ones, and it stands to reason
that with a united support one would
be vastly better than either could b.
with the patronage divided. We d.
not say that there is not room for two
trade journals in Virginia of the elias
of the Southern 7obafconist, for whil
bin 4p4d66e zsYfeqhe vas ID in - Da ay
very we'll, but if another field had no
been more inviting certainly Mr.. Har
man would not have moved to Win
ston Let the Danville tobacco mel
make the Southern 20bacc0nist thei
medium for advertising their bushes
and keeping their market before thu
world. As that paper truthfully re
marks, cone strong tobacco paper il
the State is better than several veal
ones" And this will apply to othe
towns and papers beside trade jour

TO RECLAIM THE ROANOKE RIVER
LANDS

For several months the Scotland
Neck Democrat has been publishing a
series of articles on the subject of re-
claiming the rich bottom lands of the
Roanoke river, now subject to overflow.
This could be done by building dykes
as was done prior to the war. Of
course such thing would be too big
and undertaking for private individuals,
and the idea is to employ convict labor
to do the work, and only those con-
viCts sent from the counties affected
Halifax, Northampton, Berthe, ETC., are
asked for. This, it seems to us, is a
very reasonable proposition, and the
practicability of the work and the i'm.
portanCe of it does not admit O.
dispute. If these lands, now practi
cally waste places, should be reclaimed
and cultivated, the whole State would
be benefited, for they are capable o
producing sufficient grain to feed al
North Carolina. The Legislature viii
be memorialized to enact special Law
for this purpose, and we trust it will
be done.
