1t will be observed that the gain be-
tween 1870 and 1880 was only two per

increase to town was seven per cent.
The trend will be back to the farm
when farming is more profitable than
city employment and when condlt1ons

farming and better transportation IA
%ciIities make farming more profitable,

better conditions for living in the

WILL SWANIPOODIIE HELP?

The rms in not q few countes
in North and South Carolina have
quit wi tobacco "a the to-
bacco trust fixes the price so that,
aking it year in and year out, there
is little to be made in it's production.
They are tired Of working for the trust
and boarding themselves. Other
farrners who have much land adapted
to the cultivation of tobacco, are re-
ducing acreage for the same reason.
The trust seems to be bigger than the
government.
But there looms up one little a
of hope from S~waInpoodle Springs, #
We may base hope on the following
from the Roxboro Courier:
1T will be q real sorrow to his
many friends to know that Col. W.
/. Lewis left yesterday morning for
Swampoodie Springs where he Will re-
main for about six weeks. Every
body loves Uncle Billy, for he has a
kind VOID for all, and ii ever he had
a care the world did not know it. He
says he will return in ample time to
see that the farmers tobacco brings
its full price, and he will
Inc eyes OF the country Will De
upon Swampoodle Springs for six
weeks. If the tobacco farmers had
enough non to raw to those
springs they ould hasten to beg Col.
Lewis not to wait six whole weeks.
The tobacco markets open in Eastern
North Carolina this month. Last year
the trust got most of the tobacco
placed early on the market at less
than the cost of cultivation. If Col,
Lewis stays at SWampOodle Springs
six weeks, will the trust not do the
same thing again? Col. Lewis prom
Uses to return Tin ample time to see
that the farmers obacco brings its
full price" He is referring to Person
county farmers, and the Courier
vouches for him and says che will
But if Col. Lewis drinks some elixir
at S~vampoodle Springs that enables
him to work his wonder for Person
county farmers, cant he drink a little
more and help the M in Pitt and

The best thing in North Carolina to-

bell changed.
Round No. 9-Neson began the round full Of
fight. A short right swing reached the Brit
ons jaw and soon afterward a straight left
found the same mark The men continued to
fight at close range, Moran sending in straight
right and left punches to the face that carried
plenty Of sting. Moran had the better Of the
round.
Round No. 1O-What Nelson lacked in clever
ness as compared with his antagonist, was
partly offset by his aggressiveness and ability
to absorb punishment. In usual close range
rally both landed telling punches, but the
round was rather tame and neither man had
an advantage.
Round No 11-Neither man appeared to be
in distress at this stage of the contest Moran
suddenly shot a vicious right flush TO the jaw
ana Nelson went down for the count with blood
flowing in a stream from his mouth. Three
times more did the Englishman humiliate the
eN-champiun by flooring him with clean
straight right smashes to the Jaw, Nelson
taking the count on each occasion. Moran for
the NTH time, toppled the now defeated Bat
tier with powerful right This blow settled
il and Nelson was counted out before he could
arise
Although defeated, Nelson was given a tre-
mcndous ovation he stood up IN the center
of the ring with the blood streaming from his
face but with his fighting spirit untamed.
