NORTH CAROLINA To-
BACCO.

On Wednesday the North Carolina
Tobacco Convention met at Morehead
We hope it will not neglect what the
Messenge, has several times urged
to take steps to get credit for what
tobacco is grown in the State. Vir-
ginia buys our fine weed it can not
produce itself. and sells in other mar
kets as "Best Virginia Leaf or
"Brights.' This is positive fraud
it is open robbery.
Then the census cheats North Car.
DINA also. 1t puts the product of the
whole State at some $4,000 900
pounds, while it is probably more than
that and by at least, 155,ooo,o 900
pounds.
1t has been given out that President
wood, would stir up the Convention
on this polnt-how the State is robbed.
1t Is known that Winston alone han
oieS 100000 pounds, while other
markets IN the State are believed 10
handle quite double this sum alto
gether.
The finest tobaccos grown on the
American continent now are grown
IN North Carolina. The very finest
that has been grown since 1850 have
been grown in this State, and mainly
IN the counties of Granville, Person,
Orange and Caswell. The area OF
production has been largely extended
and with most encouraging results
The thing now is to get credit abroad
tor what Is produced, and to put a
stop to~the Virginian way of branding
North Carolina tobacco with her own
stamp.

THIS paper is a great believer in
State and county fairs, agricultural.
fruit, stock and the like. They are
partial and valuable object lessons and
do much good. Writing OF the Fruit
Fair in Greensboro last week. the
Wilmington Star says:
The State Fruit Fair now being
held in Greensboro presents a very
good exhibit Of such fruits as are ripe
at this season, although the number
OF exhibitors is not large, all being
from the central portion of the State
and most OF them from counties ad-
Jacent to Guilford, so that it is strictly
speaking not State fair. But it will
give one a pretty fair idea of the
Quality OF fruit grown in this State
There is great variety of fruits grown
IN Gullford and neighboring counties
the result in a great measure of the
many nurseries located there which
supply people with nearly everything
IN the fruit tree or vine line that they
desire, and at prices that all can afford
to pay. One attractive feature of the
exhibits is the large number of blocks
OF ice covering fruits, birds, &c,
frozen within them, which make a
very pretty spectacle.

THEY MEAN BUSINESS.

The Durham editors propose TO turn
over d new leaf and conduct their bust
ness Oh business principles in future.
They are going to set down on dead
beats and while protecting themselves
will at the same time protect other
honest people by showing up such
persons as will not pay their debts.
The Sun publishes the following an
nouncement:
A number Of bills are due US on sub
scrption and advertisements, and
many of them are worn out in being
carried around for year or more
and still they are not paid.
The editors of both the Sun and
the GIobe have turned over new
Leaf. They expect pay for value re-
ceived. Unless these accounts are
paid, after a reasonable number of
presentations or satisfactorily arran
ged by calling on the editors Of the
Durham dailes, list will be made OF
names and amounts and published in
the respective papers. This matter
must be attended to at once.
The Globe is also in it as the follow
log will show:
This paper has tried to adopt some
business methods, bu, it has failed il
. many instances. People must soone
or later lean that they will be forced
to pay for what they get. A MAJ
wrote US yesterday and said 'For God
sake do not roast me- He also sail

:, times before, that he would pay to

9 ing men, in waiting on them if the
are pushed. But it also proposes t
ascertain just who want to beat tn

, an Innovation, but it will be satisfaction

AFAMOUS INVENTOR.
Dir. Calling all Active Man at "A
Years of Age.

Years of Age.
DIR. Richard ]. Calling, inventor
of the worlds famous machinine gun
that bears his uamc, is native of
Hartford county, North Carolina. He
has for many years been living in
New Haven, Conn, we think, and
is still a very active man at u years
of age. For some time he has been
at work on a new gun which it is
claimed will surpass anything OF the
kind ever conceived by the mind ct
man and create even greater revo-
luton in the science of war than the
present Calling gun. The career OF
this distinguished North Carolinlan
is recalled at this time of the following
article published in the Norfolk Vr-
sinian of Sunday last:
DR.. X. J. Calling, the famous in
ventor Of the Calling Gun, native Of
North Carolina, although "a years of
age, is very active business man, as
will be seen from the following extract
from a letter received from him by
his relative, Mr.. E. l.. G. Manning,
in response to an invitation Mr.. Man
ming extended to Dr. Calling to make
a visit to Norfolk for recreation and
rest. He writes from indianapolis,
Ind, August 6, and his letter is
written beautifully, is bold, clear pen
manship.
81 will say in reply, that my Ma
chine Gun Company will ere long
publish new gun pamphlet, and as
soon as the same is out l will send
you one.
81 regret to say it will be impossible
for me to 60 South this year. The
truth is, l have so much business and
SO many things to attend to and to
look after, That l have little or nc
time for recreation or to pay a visit
to see my friends and relatives"
Think of that, young men. Here
is man "a years old who has so much
business to attend to that he has nc
time for recreation. The Virginia,
thinks, however, that he should take
some time. He deserves it.

WE notice communication in the
columns of our highly esteemed con-
Temporary, the Meas ami Obser0c,
this morning, suggesting that the
Worlds Fair Commissioners and their
alternateS, together, with the Gov
ernor, and others interested hold a
conference with a view of determin-
ing policy for action. We consider
this suggestion a most admirable one
and we think it should be carried out
during the approaching exposition.
No one who takes the pains to look in
to the matter carefully can doubt that
the decision of the. Governor, under
the circumstances was right, but it
does not alter the fact that it leaves
us IN 4 delicate situation as to the
part North Carolina is to take in the
great show. Some steps should be
taken as soon as possible. Raleigh

SAYS the sage of the Wilmington

SAYS the sage Of the Wilmington.
Star:
An editor Of d wyoming paper IN
forms his readers that the Southern
editors who attended the Editors,
Convention at St. Paul, "treated the
old flag with as much respect as their
Northern contemporaries did" The
fact that the editor thought it worth
while TO make 4 statement OF this KIND
conveys the impression that there are
some people up there who have mis-
taken ideas about the Southern editor,
who is in fact about as peaceably dis
posed an individual as can be found
anywhere. He is chiefly occupied in
hustling for an honest living, and is
incidentally trying to make this naugh-
ty world better, and is not frltterlng
his valuable time away with nursing
enmity to the old flag or any other
flag. What he wants chiefly is more
subscribers, those who pay in advance
preferred.

fined within twenty-five per cent adj
vance, as established by the auega-
tons Of the corporations thus far ex-
listing here.
The original ice company charged
the small consumer two cents a
pound for delivered ice. 1t is an es-
tabished fact that ice can be manu-
featured, at profit. at one cent
pound. A new company was organ
lied which proved this to be true.
The ultimate object was undoubtedly
consolidation, as results prove; this
was effected; ice was immediately
raised to two cents a pound to small
consumers within the last few days
I the announcement of a new ice com
pany has been made upon the
streets; the new company is alleged
to have backing it alleges, like the
| Union Ice Company did, that ice can
be made at a profit Of one cent a
pound; the late ice combination is
again threatened and Immediately
calls meeting at which the price OF
ice TO small consumers is reduced
from two cents a pound to one cent
and half a pound-a drop of twen-
ty-fve per cent. This proves the
profit argument of the last combine
to be untrue!
The ice consumer well remembers
this is but repetition of the course
pursued before the last combine.
The ice consumer has lost confidence
in the integrity of both ice corpora
tions and the individuals forming
them. Hence, there is but little or
no confidence to be placed in any
new scheme which proposes to re-
lieve the consumer from alleged ex-
orbitant prices.
In other words, what does this pro-
posed new ice company propose
Has it been organized upon business
princip les, or is It's ultimate object a
blackmall upon, and on ultimate con-
solldation with the present ice COM
bine? Does it propose to use the de-
mands and necessities of the ice con.
sumer as q means for increasing the
value of certain pieces of paper call
ed by courtesy "stock," as the last
/ organized company did?
If the people of Honolulu are il
for fight with ice corporations, as
the people of almost every city of thu
| United States have been al some time
. we should know it at once. 1t is easie
to fight the corporations we now have
than TO fight in anticipation or in fac
speculative corporations we know no
now. The people, or the small con
sumers of ice, deserve protec
iton; yesterday they were charg

of ice, to-day they are charg
