FINE OPENING FOR TOBACCO MEN

ElSin, N. c., April 4th.- Especial. : -
Ellxin is a beautiful little town in the
Yadllin Valley, five miles from the
Brushy and fifteen miles from the Blue
Ridge mountains. 1t is situated In q
corn and tobacco growing section. 1t
is the shipping depot for four counties,
Surry, Yadkin, Wilkes and Allegheny.
The tobacco industry at this place is
yet in its infancy. There is good
opening here for warehouseman and
several factories. A large and COM
modious warehouse, 4Ox100 feet, was
built by our citizens a year or so ago,
and was run one season with great sue
cess, but it is now standing idle, and L
good man who will run the business
right can get it rent free il J.. viii
come here and take hold of it. We arc
satisfied that it would be paying bust
ness. Mr.. r.. G. Franklin manufac-
tured tobacco here last season, but is
not running at the present. Mr.. +. G..
Kirkman is a manufacturer in Jones'
vile, a suburb Of Ellin. He disposes
of most of his stock in Piedmont Car
DINA and South Carolina. At Lucille.
six miles distant, there is another to-
bacco factory. Yadlxin county raises
some Of the finest tobacco in the State.
and if there was a warehouse here it
would all be sold at this place Surry
county is noted for the quality of its
tobacco.
The bottom lands on the YadIin are
peculiarly adapted to the raising of
tobacco, and if we had good market
here the owners would raise it in pref
erence to corn at forty cents per bushel.
The climate of Ellxin is delightful,
the citizens kind and liberal, and
strangers receive a hearty welcome.
The population of the town is about
$50 people. The town contains one
large wooden mill, cotton mill, shoe
factory, roller mill, two grist mills, two
some cmfwypvbgk qjxzi fff1s II M
lumber mills, seven stores, two hard
ware stores, drug store, furniture store
and factory, two physicians, newspa-
per and job printing Office, telephone
exchange, two hotels, two livery
stables, four churches, two schools,
and numerous other smaller enter
prises. All we ask of prospective citi-
zens is come and see for yourself.

1t is a great mistake to rely upon the
nercuria1 and potash remedies with
which doctors usually treat blood dis
eases. 1t is also useless to take RENE
DIV which is only tonic, and cannot
possibly touch real blood trouble.
Scrofu1a Is a stubborn and deep-seated
disease of the blood, and all Of the min
eral mixtures in the world cannot cure
It. S. S. S., a purely vegetable COM
pound, gets at the root of the disease
and permanently rids the system of it.
1T is a rial blood remedy, for real blood
diseases, aud has no equal.
Here is an interesting case where the
doctors were absolutely at sea.
Mrs. Y. T. Buck is the highly esteemed
wife of a we1l-known and prosperous
farmer residing near Delaney, Arkansas.
For twenty-five years she has been trout
b1ed with a deep-seated blood disease
that bafled the skill of the doctors. She
says: Some doctors called my trouble
Eczema, some Salt Rheu1n, and others
Scrofula, and though their treatment
continued for years, they could not cure
me. then began taking various nedi-
cines, and took nearly every advertised

makes such large claims for curing dis
Gases of the blood, drank by the whole

trouble. Al celebrated specialist said
he could cure me and paid him IN adj
vance, but he filled me full of arsenic
and became bloated and my digestion

applied to DR.. w. G. Dabney, an old
practitioner and medicine manufacturer,
who advised me to take S. S. S., saying
that one dozen bottles would cure me.
took four bottles and my body broke out
In boils and eruptions, but the doctor
told me that these symptoms were very
favorable, as this Is the way the niedi-
cine gets rid of the poison matter perma-
nently. After I had used six bottles the
eruptions began to disappear, my appe-
tite improved, my digestion became all
right, and having finished the twelve
bottles, I am perfectly healthy, my skin
Is clear, the capillary circulation Is
good, and I would not be in my former
condition for two thousand dollars
S. S. S. never fails to cure blood
trouble. Sctofula, eczema, rheumatism,
contagious blood poison, and in fact any
disorder Of the blood Is promptly wiped
out and cured by it. Do not rely upon
simple tonic to cure deep-seated blood
disease, but take real blood remedy.
S. S. s. has made some wonderful
cures of cancer, and we would be pleased
to send full accounts of same to any adj
dress. We will also mail our books on
blood and skin diseases upon applica-
ton. Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga.

TOBACCO MARKET.
One Warehouse in Operation and Two

Tobacco Crops Planted,

Kinston, n. c., April 3.-(Special) -
Kinston is the youngest of the to-
bacco towns. Its first warehouse was
opened August 18th, 1895. it was .
stock company, the subscribers being
the business men and q few of the lead
ing farmers. The moving spirit was
Mr.. y. w. Granger. There was sold
in it the first season three quarters

to December goth, which will probably
exceed any new. market in Eastern
North Carolina.
The farmers in Lcnoir, Jones, Ons-
low, Duplin, Craven, Carteret and
Greene have increased their crop at
least five times. There is between 4, 800
and 5000 acres in tobacco this year, or
viii be when the arrangements for
planting are all completed.
Messrs. J. w. Granger and l.. 2.
Tapp have charge of the warehouse,
and they are going to add IS more feet
to its length, making it about $50 feet
long.
Mr. B. w. Canady has now under con
struction a very large warehouse, 100
by 200 feet. He has associated Mr..
Crisp, of Wilson, and Mr.. Wooten, of
La Grange, with him.
We have quite number of large
buyers already arranging for prize
houses. Capt. w. A. Bobbitt, of Ok
ford; G. II. Pegram, of Warrenton; G.
w. Thomas, of Roxboro, and seven
other buyers are making their arrange
ments with people for prize houses.
We have two prize houses completed;
five more under way; and will have
five more in time for the next crop.
Most of these houses will be five stories
high.
Kinston expects to sell four million
pounds the coming season, which will
open up August 1st. BY that time we
will have three warehouses. We have
the finest local advantages of any
market in Eastern North Carolina

1t is a saying old as the hills, and the
truth of which has stood the test of the
rolling years, that "great reforms
move slowly; and this is true as to
Goldsboro. Ne town in the country is
more circumspect in its deliberations
or more heroic in its perseverance
when once its purpose is made up. 1t
adopts no hasty measures of specuIa-
ton, and delyes deeply into every pro-
posed venture into new fields of enter
prise to see if they be for the public
good before giving to them the impress
of it's sanction.
This is why Goldsboro weighed long
and well the question of establishing
a tobacco market here. Would it pay
the farmer? Because upon the farmer
and his success depends the prosperity
of the town; and it is, therefore, the
duty of the town to consult first the in
terest of the farmer before inviting
him to new and untried fields of indus
try.
Goldsboro has many philosophical
business men--men of broad views and
sagacious judgment--and when these
had procured for Goldsboro the supe
rior and briskly competitive shipping
facilities that our town now enjoys,
thereby giving it peculiar advantages
as market town for the farmer for
the sale of products that are to be
shipped to larger centres of manufac-
ture and traffic, they then addressed
themselves to the task and duty of
schooling the farmer to a realization
If these advantages and encouraging
him in the exercise of effort along
every avenue of industry that gave
promise of fruitful returns for his la
Dor. Hence Goldsboro has long been
noted as cotton and rice market and
truck shipping centre. Our lumber
mills, rice mills, cotton seed oil mills,
fertilizer works, furniture factory,
shuttle block factory, agricultural
works, machinery works and cotton
mills, afford the farmer a local cash

TOBACCO IN robson.

Increased attention is being given to
the cultivation of tobacco in Robson
county. The MaXton Scottish Chief
says:
1--WE understand from good authority
on the subject that there were 10000
pounds Of tobacco raised in Robson
county the past season which brought
an average Of to 10 cents. There are
1875 barns in the county, and new ones
going up in Sterling, White House and
Thompson townships. A careful est.
mate makes the prospective crop for
this year 100000 or 100000 pounds.

USES FOR COCOANUT.

Florida Has Several Promising Planta-
tions OF This Tropical Fruit.
Quite number of tropical nuts have
recently been introduced into cultiva-
tion in this country. Already on the
east coast of Florida are growing two
hundred and fifty-thousand cocoanut
trees, forty-two thousand being in one
plantation. 1t is believed that the first
trees of this kind in that state sprouted
from the nuts bl lought from Central
America and the West Indies by the
gulf stream. At Key West and about
some of the old forts cocoanuts were
planted at On early day, as certain
ancient trees now standing bear wit
ness. In 1877 a bark freighted with
cocoanuts was caught in storm off
the coast of Florida and beached near
Lake Worth. Several thousand of
the nuts were saved and planted, the
satisfactory growth of the seedlings
giving an impetus to cultivation.
The word cocoanut is derived from
the Portuguese 'coco," meaning monkey,
because the base resembles monkeys
face. The tree was known to the peo-
pie of Ceylon as early as 100 B. c., the
milk being used bv them for making
cement. The cocoanut is one of the
most useful of plants-root, trunk, leaf,
sap and nut are made to yield tribute
to man. The fiber of the husk furnishes
excellent yarn, and is preferred to
horsehair for stuffing beds, cushions,
chairs and saddles. It is stronger end
more elastic than hemp. The Poly
nesians twist small cords of this 6ber,
which serve in the construction of
houses and canoes where Europeans
would employ nails. The green nuts
are grated for medicinal use. Grated
cocoanut forms an ingredient of the
East Indian condiment curry. In the
Maldive islands labor is usually paid
for in cocoanuts.

Painted skulls In Austria.

A strange custom, dating back to the
dark ages, has survived in some of the
mountain districts in Austria-the
painting of skulls. The small size Of
most cemeteries in those regious makes
it necessary to regularly remove the
skeletons Of the buried who have lain
there eight or ten years, to make room
for newcomers. The relatives of the
dead thus to be exhumed are generally
notified before tho removal, SO that
they can attend TO the cleaning of the
skeleton and be present at it's deposit
in the so-called "bone-house" or "char-
nel-house." On such occasions the skull
is often ornamented with paintings,
representing rosaries, wreaths, snakes.

To the uninitiated and non-scicntific
mind it must be strange and anoma-
lous-perhaps an unsavory and forbid
ding-thing that the flavor and frag-
rance of butter can be increased by
the deliberate addition to the cream
from which it is made of one of the
minute organisms known as bacilli.
Much is heard nowadays of germs, and
the germ theory has wide vogue. 1t is
generally supposed, however, that the
fewer germs the human body is brought
into contact with the better. At the
same time, it is true that the mafign
bacteria are few in number compared
with those that are either harmless or
helpful. Anyone with the slightest
knowledge of the subject is aware that
the sparkling quality of water is large
ly due to the presence in 1t of an i'm
mense number of infusoria; and very
little research will show that bacteria
abound in milk to such an extent that
to count the number in single glass

/. The profit to be derived from
spraying orchards often exceeds 500
per acre, and for vineyards is much
more. The fruit crop Of the state
would be enhanced in value by several
million dollars annually if the practice
were generally followed.
2. Combined fungicides and insect
icides are recommended whenever APP
plicable, because of asaving of time; a
less liability of injuring foliage, a
greater efficiency in some cases, and as
a precautionary measure in others.
8. Dilute Bordeaux mixture, copper
arsenic solution and ammoniacal solu-
ton of copper carbonate are the most
useful for the treatment of the dis
eases herein mentioned, and the first
has the widest range of usefulness
of all.
4. Early spraying is the key to sue
cess in the use of fungicides-
s. For the plum curculio and shot
hole fungus use Bordeaux mixture and
Paris green combined, making three
or four applications. 1t is not known
that the treatment will prevent the
black knot, but cutting away and
burning the diseased branches will ac-
complish the result
6. Scabby apples rot much earlier
than those free from scab, and spray
ing with fungicides w i'll save at least
fifty per cent of this loss.
7. Spraying with fungicides in the
season of 1892 prevented much of the
early dropping of apples, which lie
usually attributed to wet weather.
g. For apples, two applications Of
Bordeaux mixture before blooming are
advised. and two of the same mixture
after blooming with Paris green added.
o. The same treatment Is recon-
mended for the pear as for the apple,
