A REFORMAT

North Carolina is not retrograd-
ing. She is progressing. A number
of important questions are being
prominently discussed now by her
newspapers. and energetic citizens
One of the topics that is receiving
serious consideration generally is
that of a State reiormatory for
youthful criminals. The meeting of
the State Board of Public Charities
in Raleigh the first of the year, re-
commended that the State establish
such a reiormatory.
We recall, with pleasure, as We
take up this matter, that our es-
teemed contemporary, the Concord
Standard, has been a very ardent
supported of a reformatory, leading
all the Other State papers in this
matter. Probably no one man has
done more to bring the matter before
the public and stir up sentiment il
favor OF it than W A. Blair, ster
ling Quaker citizen of Winston, and
member of the State Board ofChar--
tiles.
Under the present penal system of
North Carolina youthful criminals
are sens to the county jails, or the
State penitentiary, where they are
thrown in daily association with the
most corrupt, vicious and hardened
of criminals. The consequence il
that When the term of lmpfl~onment
OF the youthful criminal expires, he
goes forth into the world. punished
but not penitent. He il soon at the
old Ways again, and generally ends
by a second term Of punishment
longer than the first, Or perhaps suf-
fers the death penalty

BILL NYE'S TALK.
What he Knows About Snuff and the
Tobacco Worm,


Since becoming a resident of North
Carolina Bill Nye has written quite
frequently On tobacco culture and use
in this State In fact Mr. Nye has
done much to help the Asheville
boomers advertise their glorious eli
mate and its effect On the broken down
system. Speaking OF snuff he says:
Snuff in not grown here, and SO
sometimes. when there is a blockade
or Washout ON the railroad, snuff can

there IS 4 great deal Of suffering. No
body nose how much there is.
Snuff is not administered up the

use it, but is kept in a neat little bon

Since residing in the s.Land Of the
Sky it seems that Mr.. Nye has also
made the acquaintance of His Honor,
the Tobacco Worm and thus discusses
that well known gentleman:

formerly. having gone further South,
Here. too. he founda coed deal of COM
petition. The tobacco worm has no
other occupation on earth than to use
tobacco. Here he found that others

the tobacco worm is less plentiful now
in North Carolina than formerly. To-
bacco is also % per cent less in guam
tity here this fall than formerly. but
of good quality. The brightest and
most fragrant tobacco for smoking is
ggown in this State. 1t smells as
sweet as clover, and is not injurious to
health !"
