The Right Way.
Does it pay to grow tobacco: Our
farmers are asking themselves this
question and the biggest number of
them have come to the conclusion that
it does not.
1t is beyond the shadow of doubt
q losing business to produce common
tobacco at the low prices which now
rule on our markets. That kind of
sorry stuff does not pay the farmer,
nor the dealer who handles it, nor yet
the manufacturer who works it.
Money is to be made from a moder-
ate size crop of tobacco, to which care
full attention is given. At the same
time plenty of food and forage should
be grown, and stock and poultry rails
ing ought not to be neglected. In
other words look after home supplies.
The mistake of the planters has been
to bend their energies to raising a big
quantity of tobacco and not caring a
continental about anything else. If
they failed on that one crop they were
in hole. Ifthey succeeded the money
they realized from its sale went to buy
necessaries to feed their families and
stock and meet big fertilizer notes, and
at the close of the years work they
were no better off financially than
when they began.

Col. Carr's Memorial Address.
The following copy OF letter written
to Col. ]. S. Carr relative to the admir-
able address delivered by him in Will
mington on Memorial Day, has been
handed US by Capt o. r. Smith. 1t ex-
plains itself.
Mr.. j. S. CARR:-I have just had the
pleasure OF reading your memorial ad-
dress, and must congratulate you upon
its appropriateness, taste and excellence.
| 1t was just what it purported to be,
finished and complete-I could neither
take from, nor add to its merits.
Your description of a North Carolinian
was as true as words could paint a living
character. They were my own thoughts
and unwritten words as portrayed by
| the environments of domestic and pub
| lie life for fifty years. There was moth
| ing prosy, nor the glamor OF fancy in it.
! Many of its points and pictures were
| fringed round with quotations to show
| the contrast, and that the private soldiers
of the Confederacy lost nothing in hero
ism, history or song when compared
with names that never die.
1t was a happy thought, to preface
your subject with the 'haversack and hard
tack" OF soldier life, addressed to the ris-
ing generation. 1t will long be remenl-
| bered.
| "Peace hath her victories no less re-
nowned than war" and these are of them.
We are touching bottom upon this sub
| ject. Here is an address to the children
| OF the Confederate States, and there is
rising in Raleigh to-day monument to
the "private soldier" built by fairer hands,
and lovelier forms than ever fed the fires
of Rome Far more beautiful and less
tickle than those for whom Athens fought
and Troy fell. Ere long we will sum it
all up, in a proper recognition of the
conScript and his mother in whom culmi.
mated the moral courage and heroic vir.
tues that knew how to die but did not
know how to surrender. Their patient
endurance and fidelity has no parallel
in history or fiction. Their superhuman
endeavors raised mortals to the skies
and drew angels down as ministering
deities at their country's alter fires, and
they will live and gloryfy their cause as
long as language repeats Now | lay me
down to Sleep" O. r. SMITH.
