WILL Go TO JAPAN.
Capt. E. j. Parrish, of Durham. Will
go There to Represent the American
Tobacco Company.

The people Of Durham will be both
surprised and panied to learned that
Capt +. J. Parrish will leave
Durham at an early date and will
make his home in another part of
the world in the future.
He has accepted very important
position with the American Tobacco
Company and will make his home in
Japan, where he will work for the
company with which he has asso-
ciated himself. He will 90 to New
York on business trip and will then
leave for Japan, probably within the
next month. When he leaves for the
Eastern world he will be accompanied
by Mrs. Parrish and their daughter,
Miss Lily. who will reside there also.
1t is understood that the position he
has accepted is very important one
and that the salary connected with
it is equally as mportant-being one
among the largest paid any Dur
hamite in recent wears.
Capt. Parrish is one of Durham s
pioneer tobacconists and was among
in this place. He is known by every
tobacco raiser in this section of the
Golden Tobacco Belt and they will
all regret to know that he is to leave
here
For the past year or two he has
held the position Of head buyer for
the Blackwell Tobacco Company. In
securing him the American Tobacco
Company has employed one Of the
best tobacco men in the State.
While rcgrctting to see him leave

happvand prosperous future.-Dur-

Oata and Peaa After Weeda.

The plan of disposing of weeds in
the vegetable garden and filling it with
q fall crop can be followed out on
larger scale in fields too large for
vegetables and too small for winter
grains, by sowing oats and peas. Dur
ing a fairly cool fall this crop will
grow rapidly and make the best kind
of late fall fodder for cows, fed green.
It increases both flow and quality Of
milk. besides having the advantage CT
entirely crowding out any weeds that
may start. Then the surplus from the
vegetable garden and the orchard, some
of it at least, ought to find it's way to
the cows, who, like all grazing animals,
delight in variety, no matter how
good the pasture may be. Try the
plan of giving each animal a handful
Of cabbage leaves. apples, beets or even
tomatoes each night before milking
and they will show their appreciation

KIND WORDS FOR THE PRESS.

Charity AMI ChH}rCn. the organ of
the Thomasvillc orphanage, pays
this tribute to the press of the State:
As we have said again and again,
and our further acquaintance confirms
the belief, the newspapers OF North
Carolina, rs Il whole, are an honor to
the State. The average editor in this
State is honest and earnest and true.
He is not liar and hypocrite as it
has become popular to say of him, but
no citizen of the State works harder for
it's upbuiding, and none is more
genuinely patriotic than he. Quite often
the country editor is pOOry equipped
and he is neither master OF his own nor
any other tongue, but wholesale de
nunclatlOn OF the press that has grown
SO common of late, and the oft repeated
assertion that the newspapers of the
country are filled with lies, is wholly
false. and the charge comes mainly from
those whose trickery these papers have
exposed We believe North Carolina
owes more to the hard worked and i'll
paid country editor than to any other
class OF her citizens
When one considers the fact that
North Carolina is. comparatively
speaking. sparscly populated, and
has such 4 large percentage of ne
groes and illitcratc whites, it is
wonderful how excellent are the
newspapers in the smaller towns. As
a whole the country press of North
Carolina compares favorablv with
that of any other section. The editors
of these newspapers have been true
to their principles, often in the face

WHEN PAPA'S SICK.

(Joe Lincoln in l.. 4. W. Bulletin.)
When papa's sick, nv goodness sake'!
Such awful. awful times it makes,
He speaks in oh, such lonesome tones,
And gives such ghas'Iy kind Of groans,
And rolls his ewes and holds his head,
And makes ma'help him up to bed;
While Sis and Bridget run to heat
Hot wafer bags to warm his feet,
And must get the doctor quick
We have TO Jump when papa s SICK.
When papa's sick ma has to stand
Right side the bed and hold his hand,
While Sis she has to fan an fan,
For he saws he's a ''dyin' man,
And wants the children round him to
BE there when 'sufferin' pa gets through,
He saws he wants to say good-bye
And kiss us all and then he'll die;
Then means and says his 'brea'ln's thick -
It's awful bad when papa's sick.
When papa sick he acts that way
Until he hears the doctor say
you've only got cold, you know,
You'll be all right in day Or 50;
And Then-well. say, you ought to SEQ,
He's different as he can be.
And growls and swcars from noon TO night
Just cause his dinner amt cooked right,
And all he does is fuss and kick
We're all used up when papa sick.

Glover a Good Fertilizer.

Glover is, without doubt, the best
fertilizing plant we have It takes nj
trogen from the air through it's foliage
and adds 1t to the soil. Its roots are
strong and they run deep, opening and
loosening any subsoil that is not con-
stantly water-soaked. When the plant
is killed by blowing, these deep-run-
ming roots die and decay at once, and
the roots of the corn, or whatever crop
may next be grown upon the land, run
down these openings left in the sub
soil by the decayed clover-roots ard
draw on the fertility they otherwise
would be unable to reach.

RATIFICATION OF THE TREATY.

The Senate ycsterdv. by vote Of
ratified the treaty of peace with Spain,
although the ratification of treaty
Of peace with the Filipinos, in the
light OF recent developments, would
have been more appropriate. Those
courageous Senators who opposed
ratification of the treaty without
modification, despite the hvsterical
dcnuncia:ions OF the imperialist
press, are entitled to the graduate
if all who have the welfare of their
country at heart. These Senators
made Il superb fight and stood by
their colors to the last. Although
they did not succeed in preventing
the ratification of the treaty they
gained a moral victory the results of
which will be of inestimablc benefit
III the future. In the first place,
they defeated the plan of the ad-
ministraton for a hasty ratification
of the treaty without an adequate
discussion of lis provisions. Thanks
to the anti-eNpansioniSts in the
Senate, the country now knows ex-
actly what the treaty means and
what the cession by Spain to the
United States of its sovereignty in
the Philippines involves.
If the senate now adopts the resO-
luton offered yesterday by Mr..
McEnery, of Louisiana, one of the
Senators who voted for the treaty,
the anti-eNpansionists will gain some
thing more than a moral victory.
Mr. McEnery's resolution provides
that by the ratification of the treaty
lit is not intended to incorporate
the inhabitants of the Philippines into
citizenship of the United States, nor
to permanently annex the Islands as
an integral part of the territory of
the United States" On the other
hand. it is declared to be the inten-
ton of the United States Ito es-
tabllSh on the Islands government
suited to the present wants and con-
ditions Of the people Of the Islands.
to prepare them for self-government,
and in due time to make such dis
position of the Islands as will best
promote the interests of the United
States and the inhabitants of the
Islands" This is a broader and
more exact declaration of the policy
of this Government then was contain
ed in the Sullivan resolution, and if
it should be adopted it would open
the way for a solution of the problem
which might prove acceptable to all
concerned.
But for the unfortunate collision at
Manila on the eve OF the vote on the
treaty it is probable that ratification
would not have been secured vester-
day even by the morrow majority
which was recorded The battle
between the Filipinos and the Ameri-
can forces undoubtedly precipitated
settlement, just As the destruction
OF the Maine in the harbor of Havana
led to a war between the United
States and Spain, which might other
wise not occurred. In ratifving
the treaty, even with such a declara-
ton of policy rs that proposed by
Mr. McEnery. the administration
Senators and their Democratic and
Populist allies have accepted a
tremendous responsibility. and it is
to be hoped that future events may not
cause them to regret the course they
have pursued Baltimore Sun.

MERCHANTS PURCHASE TAX.

Raleigh adyices intimate that the
present Legislature will not act upon
the adjustment Of the Onerous and
unjust tax. known as the Merchants
Purchase Tax.
The repeal of this tax is urged
upon the best of grounds by the ten
thousand merchants in North Caro-
lima, who are sub jccted to 1t, namely
that it is a class tax, one which dis
eliminates against one portion OF the
tax paying community, and surely 1T
is good Democratic doctrine and
principle TO urge against such tax
discrimination.
The un business Of the tax is seen IN
the fact that single article may
have to pay tax several times
Merchant A sells bill Of merchan-
disc to Merchant b, who in turn sells
the same TO Merchant &, and G to d.
Here is really a single consignment
Of goods, actually not warranted to
pay any tax, vet before it reaches the
consumer each merchant who buys it
must pay his merchants tax upon it.
A Young man starting into mer-
chandising with thousand dollars
in cash as his capital. buys with his
cash and the credit which it gives,
say four thousand dollars worth of
goods. He must pay his several
taxes for the privilege of doing bust
ness, and in additional his merchant ;

tai of one thousand dollars which ena-
bcd him to purchase his stock Of
four thousand dollars worth of goods,
but upon his four thousand dollars

merchants can do this, and then

or to make it less severe. the mcr-
chant with an easy conscience, who
can receive goods on consignment,
and thus avoid coming under the
merchants purchase tax?
The present tax upon the merchants
of North Carolina. besides being 4
class tax, therefore I'm ust. is most
OnerOus one, and operates against Il
business class which Is largely 4
mainstay to the States prosperity
and growth.
The sum of money received from
this source. is really insignificant,
but it is urged for its continuance
that our State charities have so
grown that this tax must be con
tinued- Surely poor excuse. to per-
petuate an unjust tax, TO burden any
particular class, in the name of char
itv.
The adjustment of this tax would
prove that the Democratic party was
true to its principle of being opposed
to class discrimination, which the
present merchants purchase tax I'M
guestionably is.
This Legislature cannot afford not
to give the merchants some relief. as
they most earnestly request nj this
time.-New Bern JOurRai.

to get his hand through the narrow
