On Thursday night, Sept, 10th, Blind
Ton, the famous musical wonder, gave a
concert in Temperance Hall. 1t had been
predicted by many that Blind Toms au-
dience would be very small in conSe-
quence of what was thought excessive
charges.
Admission was - cents and reserved
seats were sold for 81.
Notwithstanding the steep admission a
large audience greeted Tom, and at $50
O'Clock he opened his concert.
He made a little speech, introducing
himself, and speaking of himself in the
third person all the time. For two hours
he held lis audience under spell of de-
light as they listened to the sweet melo>
dies that tloated away on the air from the
wonderful touch Of the blind pianist
His songs were greatly enjoyed, and
his imitation on the piano of a music box,
bani,, fiddle, the battle Of Manassas and
the old fashioned railroad train, was truly
wonderful.
Blind Tom is perhaps tiity-years old
is little more than an idiot ,stammers
frequently when announcing his pieces;
but he plays with an ease that challenges
the accom- liShments Of the finest perfor-
mers IN the world He knows nothing
ofmusic as a science, but plays whatever
be hears otheres play, and frequently
DlaVS his own conn OSition HIS n, warc
of imitation are wonderful. He can Ii =
ten to the most difficult piece of music for
the first time and sit down to the piano
and repeat it with perfect accuracy. He
did it IN Scotland Neck. He asked some
one to play and let him repeat the music.
Miss Bette Joyner played a difficult
piece and Tom went to the piano and re-
peated it in perfect time just as it had
been played.
lie is truly the greatest wonder of the
age.
We believe, and has made large amount
OF money since he was set free. We have
heard 1T stated tat he is worth hundred
thousand dollars, lives in an elegant
mansion in New York City, has piano
worth 81 so; and his manager is worth
halt a million.
But with all the money Of earth at his
command, we suppose Tom would not be
able to live at all conlented with out play
i0y almost constantly.

TOW THINGS MOVE IN OUR NEIGHBoR
ING TOWE.

The editor took l.,tle run tt Tartoro
Tuesday. We observed along the road
that most Of the fodder has been saved.
Cotton is beginning to open and We saw
a dozen hands licking in one field. 1t is
impossible u give much idea about the
cotto2 crop yet. Much depends upon
the fall. If 1t be late cotton viii do well,
if early, it will be cut short
The peanuts and corn crops look very
well. We think Capt. w. 5. Ling has
the best peanuts We have seen this yelr.

TARB0RO RUNNING.
You can almost smell the tobacco fever
in TarhoIo. Everything is looking to
the big opening Of the tobacco ware
houses next W ednesiay, 2}rd. The Cen
trail W rehouse is beng rapidly eomplet-
ed in order to be ready for the opening
There are nearly fifty men at work on 1t.
1t will be about the third in size to all
other tobacco warehouses in the state.
1t is simply immense. 1t is situated
right on the bank Of TIE river and right
beside the railroad, so that it will have
every convenience OF the railroad ships
ment and also for handling the tobacco
that will be sent up from Pitt county
The people Of TaIboro expect a big
time at the opening, 23rd, and if you
want to know anything about it write to
S S. Nash. He is giving all his atten
ton now to the matter and the Tarboro
people say Nr. Nash is as full Of energy
and push as he can be. Among other
gentlemen who are interested in the big
Central warehouse are Mess c. ".
Jeff'reys, a. Ueilbroner and AR. Zoeller.
Any of these gentlmen will gladly ans
wer any question which our tobacco
growers may send them,
We observed a road machine at work
it was only an experiment it seemed TO
be doing satisfactory work. and if the
town purchase it, it will be a means of
greatly identifying their already pretty
streets. Business is good in Tarboro and
everybody seemed in good spirits.
We were glad to meet our brethren of
the quill, Mr.. Powell Of the Southeraer
and Mr.. Lloyd of the Adoocate. They are
doing most excellent work for Tarboro
and Edgecombe county and deserve lib
eral support.
Some of the Tarboro people much res
greet the mistake made in the Industrial
issue of the Rocky Mount Afyonaut, in
putting the population Oft rboro at 500
when it ought to have been 5000.
THE DEMOCRAT secured some new
subscribers and also number Of adver-
usements, which will appear In our next
issue. Press of work prevents their In
sertion this week
We'are always glad to 60 Tai boro to and
meet the good people there. The Hotel
Farrar will be reopened this week.
