Millions of Caterpillars.

Caterpillars are destroying the
leaves of all the oak trees in Robson
and Columbus counties. There are
millions of the pests The woods are
beginning to look as if scorched by
fire. Specimens of the leaves were
sent to Raleigh. A few years ago
armies of caterpillars in Robson
crossed the tracks of the Carolina
Central Railway in such vast numbers
as to stop the trains, as they were
crushed by the wheels and the tracks
were made slippery.

county has informed the United States
Marshal and the revenue authorities
of the Fourth North Carolina district

illicit distilleries, and made threats
against her. They have also burned

An Essay on the Mouth,

Some mouths look like peaches and

Original Observations

From the Orange (va.) observer.l
Convicts are the only people who
do not believe in their convictions.
The public always notices man
when he has been drinking, but not
when he is tetotally sober.
Truth is said to be stranger than
fiction, and VIC have observed that
great many people do not like to be
too familiar with a stranger.
Wives are very presumptuous. They
are always asking for lock of their
lovers hair before marriage, and
taking 1t without asking afterwards.

THE GROWING CROP FINE.
Weekly Review of the Winston Tobac
CO Market.

The following review of the Winston
tobacco market was prepared by Mrs.
w. I. Carter, editor of the market re-
ports for the WOman's Edition of the
Southern Tobacco Journal:
Receipts Of tobacco on the Winston
market this week have been only fair
ly large, with no improvement as to
quality or color, and indications
verify the reports from the country
that this crop is about all sold and
very little now remains in the hands
Of the planters. Prices upon all grades
are fully maintained. and some grades
show slight advance over last weeks
sales.
Shipments Of plug continue large
and increasing. All our factories are
hard at work with full forces of fhands
to fill the fine orders for Winston's eX-
cellent plug and smoking tobaccos.
Visiting ''eyangclistS'' for the sale
Of leaf tobacco have moved freely
among our factories this week, and
some small sales are reported, though
our manufacturers prefer the Waxy
ripe filters of the Winston section for
their plug.
The growing crop is just as fine as
we can ask, and every report confirms
the belief that next year we will have
the largest and best crop seen in many
years.

That the promise in Question was

But there are cliques in. the manage

several Of these are powerful. The
sultan is a vacillating coward-wha,t
he may do to-day or refuse to do to-
morrow depends on the clique that
happens to get his ear.
OF course. the powers dare sail
through the Dardanelles so far as the
Turkish government is concerned, but
suppose II were not fully concerted ac-

He Keeps Ii Up.

Senator Sherman put a good deal OF
personal pique into his book. and his
recent interview. a summary OF which
has been printed. shows his determfna-
ton to stand by what he wrote. The
result of 1t all is that the New York
friends of Mckinley are disturbed.
Mr.. Sherman's visit to New York was
ostensfbly in the interest OF Mckinley.
His interview, which manifestly was
no impromptu affair. was a snari. by
way of appendix. at the New Workers
who preferred Harrison to Sherman, in
1883. Most of the New York republi-
cans who were prominent IN that
years national convention. still take
active part in the politics OF the EN-
pire state. To these people Mr.. Sher-
mans printed accusation of a corrupt
bargain was annoying; his more recent
chatter has become offensive.
1t will be remembered that. In his
interview, Senator Sherman remarked
that, while in New York. he saw Mr..
Platt at a distance in the hotel but he
did not speak to him. General Har-
rison also was in New York at that
time, but he and the senator dfd not
meet. Plat and Harrison carry an old
grudge, but the Fffth-avenue-hotel
political ioungers are making much out
of the fact that these two men had a
cordial meeting soon after the Sher-
man interview was given out.
All that has happened is construed by
the New York friends OF Governor Nc
Kinley 30 be immensely damaging 10
