TARBORO is COMING,
It is a Good Market and is
Growing Every Day.

Tarboro, N. c. April g. Especial
Yes, Tarboro is tobacco market, q
modest market yet awhile, but on the
road to greatness. We have now open
two warehouses, several leaf buyers
and have sold this season along up to-
wards million pounds of leaf Our
people are catching the glimpse of the
golden glow that the bright leaf has
painted on our eastern sky, and We are
heading for a front position in the
buying and selling and manufacture
Of the leaf. Several of our best citizens
are enlisting their energies and dollars
in the further progress of the market,
particularly Col. John l.. Shackleford,
who is always alive to whatever tends
to build up Tarboro. We have already
attracted several experienced and well
equipped tobaceorists, among them
Mr.. George b. Hughes, a native OF
Lynchburg, and brother of two of
Louisburg's tobacco leaders Old
Edgecombe is dotted about with plant
beds, and many of her farmers are
making ready for a good big tobacco
crop this season. We win be ready to
handle it when the autumn comes, and
Wen march along in the great process

cial edition, but we viii be with you

He is known to all the trade as one OF
the most successful men in the busi-

1T IS men like Mr.. Boyd who have
made the tobacco industry so impor-
tant that it takes fory pages OF the
News and Observer to tell its history.
1t is such men as he that have made

Henderson, Oxford, Rocky Mount, Will

On his first few sales in Warrenton
he was the sole warehouse manager
and almost the sole buyer, but he sold
and bought frequently, getting others
to buy on his account just to increase

It would be difficult by any process

Shade as a Fertilizer.

Any kind of shade is a protection
to the soil. Shaded by the foliage and
debris of trees our forests flourish
with ever increasing fertility. Under
old houses, as is we'll known, am
monia accumulates, but only the re-
cent discovery of the nitric acid bac-
terra shows reason for it. Flowing
turns UP and exposes the soil to the
destructive energy of heat and light
but it causes coating of dry dust
under the shade of which a little
deeper down the vivifying bacteria
may still work and sufficient stock
Of moisture be preserved. These facts
observations. According to the old
chemical notion of the soil changes,
to lie out fallow alone ought to give
time for land to recuperate by set
ting free its potash and phosphorus
as a consequence of disintegra ton;
but the fact is well known that if the
ground is perfectly bare it will be i'm
poverished by rest. Shade it by grass,
rye, clover, peavines- anything, and
it will improve.
Not denying the possibility of the
green crops adding to fertility by
bringing to the surface the necessary
mineral salts, and by adding to the
stock of humus, shade is insisted
upon as necessary for the preserva-
ton of these salts, and for the evolu-
tion of nitric acid and ammonia.
Herein lies the rationale of mulch
