Tobacco Puffs.

Another 10000 pound tobacco sale was
held at the Farmers warehouse yesterday
and the farmers are beginning to feel bet
ter in regard to selling their crop. A
great many will more than pay expenses
OF raising the crop while others will not
do so well.-New Bern Journal.
- ISa&'
The farmers appear to be holding back
their tobacco for better prices as sug
gested Monday there was absolutely
nothing doing" at the warehouses-no
pile on the floors The sales are usually
light on Monday but we do not recall
all instance during the tobacco season
when the warehouses were open and not
a pound sold.-Henderson Gold Leaf.
Mr.. j. o. w Gravely, the we'll known
tobacconist of Rocky Mount, in speaking
OF the tobacco situation when asked 20
suggest remedy, said if the farmers
would not sell any of their tobacco until
after January LIST, 1904, and then not
make any preparations for another crop,
it would, in his opinion, cause the present
crop to bring living prices. This is along
the line of advice suggested in a com
munication published in the Gold Leaf last
week.-Henderson Gold Leaf.
The Lumberton Argus says the best
joke heard apropos the low prices of to-
bacco is told on the Latta market. 1t is
reported that an old darkey, being told
that the price of his load of tobacco
lacked % cents paying the charges, re.
marked that he had no money, where
upon he was told to bring a chicken the
next time he came to town. A few days
afterward, the darkey with two chickens
approached the warehouseman who re-
marked that ne had told him to bring one
chicken. But Boss said the darkey
Us brought annudder load and brought
annudder chicken to pay fur sellin' dat
Sales on local market Monday and yes
terday inconsequential, not exceeding So
900 pounds. The prices remain about the
same as last week. The Rocky Mount
market is not selling anything like as
much tobacco as the other markets. This
Is accounted for to some extent by this
being naturally a later market The
farmers who sell here have no complaint
of the market as the prices are favor
able to this market in comparison with
others.-Rocky Mount Motor.

BAbY'S FUTURE
Something for Mothers
to Think About
Lives of Suffering and
Sorrow Averted
And Happiness and Prosperity
Assured by
CutiCura Soap, OintmentandPills
When All Else Fails.

Every child born into the world with
an inherited or early developed ten
dency to distressing, disfguring hui
mours of the skin, scalp and blood,
becomes an object OF the most tender
solicitude, not only because of its suffer-
ing, but because of the dreadful fear
that the designation is to be lifelong
and mar its future happiness and pros
perity. Hence, it becomes the duty of
mothers of such afflicted children to ac-
quaint themselves with the best, the
purest and most effective treatment
available, viz, The Cuticura Treatment.
Warm baths with Cuticura Soap, to
cleanse the skin and scalp of crusts and
scales, gentle applications of Cuticura
Ointment, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and mild doses Of Cuticura ReSolvent, to
cool the blood in the severer cases, are
all that can be desired for the speedy
relief and permanent cure of skin tor
tured infants and children, and the COM
fort of WORKOUT parents.
Millions of women use Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and identifying the
skin, scalp, hair and hands, for annoy
ing irritations and weaknesses, and
for many sanative, antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves.

There is another class-the other ex-

ought to marry unless they are well
fixed. Their views are fairly well ex
pressed in the following letter in the
Philadelphia Public Ledger:
"THE RIGHT TO MARRY.
ITO the Editor: Have poor people a

luxury, and there should be a law passed
not only to prevent those who have not
sufficient income from marrying, but
also to compel them to pass rigid ex-

to get out of work and has several chill

A NEW ESTABLISHMENT.

Branch Establishment in Goldsboro
With NJ. A. W. Chandler in Charge.
The renowned piano house of Charles
NJ. Stieff has instituted a branch estab-
lishmant in Goldsboro and will occupy one
of the store rooms under the Messenger

For some time past the house has been
casting about for location 1or branch
establishment in Eastern North Carolina.
A careful consideration of the advantages
of all other points and comparison OF
such advantages with those offered by
Goldsboro has resulted in the selection OF
our prosperous and progressive city as
the most suitable location.
Mr.. A. w. Chandler, who is well known
to the people of Goldsboro, where he
has some time before conducted a speclal
sale of pianos for his house VIII have
complete charge of the branch establish
ment and will send out all over the Eastern

THE LAW AS TO REGISTERING
AND VOTING.

The registration books for the dispen-
sary election Will be opened today 1t is
not new registration, but all persons
not registered in the city municipal cleo
ton must register if they wish to vote.
The same rules that governed regis
tration In the city and State elections
must be observed. In the registration for
the railroad election some Oh the regis
trars understood that negroes applying to
vote could do so without satisfying the
registrar of their ability to read and
write. They had received no specific in
structlons. In that election, in the dis
pensary election, and in all elections no
negro can vote unless he can stand the
educational test. The News and Observer
believes in applying that test in all local
elections just as strictly as it was applied
IL the November election 1t is desired
that a white electorate shall settle all
these questions. The man on either side
who tries to get negroes registered is
trying, whether consciously or not, to
hrlng about a return to the old condi-
tons that prevailed under Wholesale ne
gro suffrage. If either side appeals to
the negro vote, that side desires to be
defeated. of course there are some ne
groes who are legally qualified to vote,
and no registrar can refuse to put their
names on the books, but let nosregistrar
decrease the educational test and let no
partisan either of the dispensary or the
saloon try to increase the negro regis
trati0n. That is the wise and consistent
policy
No person can vote unless he paid his
poll tax prior to May 1st. The attorney
general, in response to questions by Mr..
j. G. Morrisett, registrar for the prohibi-
ton election in Scotland Neck, wrote Mr.
Morrisett a letter which should guide all
election officers. 1t is as follows:
Raleigh, N c., Sept. 3, 1908
Dear Sir:-I have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt of your letter of the
18th instant in which you ask two ques
tons in relation to the payment of poll
tax as affecting the right of an elector
to vote. Replying thereto 1 beg to ad-
wise you that:
1. That the amendment to the Consti-
tuition requires that before person shall
be entitled to vote he shall have paid
on or before the first day of May in the
year in which he proposes to vote, his poll
tax for the previous year A person liza
BILE Tor State and county tax who has
never listed nor paid the same, cannot
vote simply because he has failed to list
his poll tax II he desires to vote the
law requires him to list his poll tax and
to pay it within the prescribed time. 9th
elwise he cannot vote
2. do not think the law requires the
payment of municipal poll tax for the
previous year as an action precedent to
the right to vote in the election referred
to in your letter.

THIS YACHTSMAN is PROUD.
New Brunswick Man Upset in Lower Bay
and was Rescued by Erin's Crew.

Jacob Ziegler, of New Brunswick,
whose catboat Yankee was wrecked
on Friday afternoon in the lower bay,
and who was rescued with his party
by launches from Upton Erin, has
the distinction of now having boat
whose rigging was designed by Fife,
of Falrlie, the famous designer who
built the three Sharmocks. While the
party from the catboat were being
wrung out and dried, after the wreck
and rescue, the carpenter of the Erin,
acting under directions from Mr.. Fife,
unstepped the broken mast out of the
oatboat and cut a new step. Then
the mast was restepped, and the sail
bent on, several changes being made
by Mr.. Fife. OF course he didn't put
quite as much gray matter in the task
as he did in the rigging of the Sham
rock, but Captain Ziegler insists that
the Yankee sails five points closer to
the wind than she did before Designer
Fife superiutended the new rigging.
