The teverish desire TO make fortunes
out Ofthis line of journalism has touched
North Carolina again this year and two
new tobacco papers are booked for the
fall trade. The Durham Tobacco Plant
will open business under the manage
ment of two well known journalists,
MEssRs. AL FAIRBRoTHER and A
HATCHETT. The Eastern Tobacco Jour.
nal will alsO'b be launched soon at Green
vile and will represent the eastern
tobacco interests of the state. At the
same time the Southern Tobacco Journal
will be found doing business at the old
stand and wishing all the boys plenty of
fun and fortune in this racy line of
journalistic etfOrt.-Southern Tobacco
Journal.
There is 10 feverish desire at this end
of the line,-it is a legitimate desire to
establish a tobacco journal in Durham.
We are going into The Tobacco Plant on
a business basis. We are buying an ex-
pensive outfit, because we want 10 print
a neat paper, and we are paying cash for
our purchase.
MIR. HATCHETT, who is an experienced
tobacco and newspaper man, will write
the factS-while we will write the music.
In this way we propose to succeed. If
there is no room for US, we shall proceed
to room making right away.

GO EASY,

The New York Advertiser, which We
all know is able and clever, tries to make
a little political capital by gently twist,
ing a sublime thought which we thought
ont one morning. We expressed a be
lief that the Union had not been pre-
served, once upon a time, or, if it had
the preserves, like they sometimes do, had
sOured.
COLONEL C~OCKERILL stopped just there
and introduced our classic style OF
thought to prove that we were a ring
tailed, rantankerOus cuss who refused to
become reconstructed. But that's all
right, maybe. THE GLOBE simply pre-.
dicted that it saw a cloud of anarchy
floating around the North that threatened
something dreadful. Hereafter when we
have a really beautiful thought to express,
we shall do as ARTEMUs WARD did with
his next book, we shall let COLONEL Cock
ERTLL write it for us.
