Our Populist confreres are full of in
flamatory articles about "the demand

etc, as if these we're propositions op-
posed by the financial policy of the
President. It looks very much like
they are indnlging in lot of buncomb
simply for political effect. Surely they

The entire South is making wonder
full headway. The financial crash has
less effect in the South than in other
sections of the country because busi-
ness bad been carried on for the three
preceding years in the most economi-
cal manner. There were no booms and
no extravaganza. Business was on a
firm foundation. Cotton and tobacco
crops started a stream of cash south
ward. and there is now more than the
usual supply on hand. AS cotton goes
out of the country, gold TO pay for it
comes back. The outlook for the
South is encouraging.-N. o. City Item.

The new grain elevator of the Ma
tional Rice Mill Co, was set i'm opera
tion last week and gives entire salts
faction; the machinery worked smooth
" from the start. The elevator is built
as an annex to the large warehouse
purchased by the company from Mr.
jos Bloch, and situated near the rail
road depot. A large fan for cleaning
the rice is supplied by conveyors run
ming the full length, and in the centre,
of the large worehouse-all foreign sub
stance such as grass, straw, weeds and
the blasted rice being removed before
shipment. The riceEis first elevated to
the second floor where it goes through
large reel that removes all the coars-
er trash, after which it passes to the
fan on the first floor. Having gone
through this it is again elevated to the
second floor and emptied into a bin.
There are eight Of these bins, each
holding a car load of the cleaned rice.
The rice is loaded from these direct TO
the cars by means of shute extending
through to the outside of the building
and so arranged as to LET the rice run
directly into the car.
Four ears of rice We're shipped from
Opeionsas last week and more would

Sells Brothers Show,

We are not addicted to putting the
average show, bnt this show, which
performed here last Wednesday, is not
an average show, in fact it is so far
ABOVE the average that we think it but
simple justice to make a note of the
fact. The advertisements and posters,
etc, promised wonderful things, and
might even have been considered OK
travagant, but now that we have seen
this admirable combination in all Its
grandeur we have no hesitation in
saying that it comes nearest TO fulfill
ing all its promises than any other
show that has ever visited Opelousas,
and in all probability we might safely
say. than any other show now on the
road in America. Not the least meri-
torious part of the exhibition is the
magnificent collection of rare ami
mals-the performances of the trained
sea-iions and seals being especially
wonderful. Taken altogether it is Ger
tainly the grandest exhibition ever
seen here, and richly deserves the
splendid patronage it has received.
Another feature worthy of note is the
thoroughly business like and gentle
menly department of the managers,
press agents, etc, who all seem to be
thoroughly au .fah in their respective
duties aud uniformly courteous and
obliging.

A NORWEGI IN IT !
What a Gentleman from the Old
Country Did.
He Comes to Durham and Gets His To-
baecO for the Trip.
THE BULLS BELOW HE HAD HEARD
DOue-Given FIN All a Chance to
See America and the Bull.

See America and the Bull.
One voyager on his way to the World
fair, and he came from Norway, stopped
over in Durham. He evidently landed
at Wilmington, and came to this city
long enough to order a supply Of the
Durham Bull tobacco
He was here to day and he made his
order. He wanted the Bull tobacco and
he got it. This shows that Durham is
known over all the world, because we
ship tobacco to every port.
This is why we have always claimed
that Durham was in it. The gentleman
expressed himself highly pleased with
Durham, and through his Interpreter,
travelling with him, said that he thought
America a great country. He wanted to
know why the tobacco was not made in
big city like New York, and was told
that here was where We got the tobacco.
Then the Norwegian said, that makes
him pure-sure stuff
And COlonels Reed and DOwd and
Briggs said that was ii, and they fixed
him up.
So it will be seen that people coming
to the fair know about Durham and never
before heard of Chicago. And why ::
Because the Blackwell TobaC"O company
use printers ink. That's world of
logic
