Cotton men as compared with

the current of ideas and ambitions
here. People have advanced years
and years, and what is equally to
the point, the land bas advanced
too. Sensible men say thal Wake
lands have appreciated l" percent,
in value in eighteen months.
Verterduy a farmer, a young man
named Hunt, was here. The past
season he raised on three acte- of
land in Greenville County, tobacco
which he sold in open market for
#1,7110. Negro grower- of the weed
in this county oldened as high

what they pr? adi, they ge on plant- :

twist the mattet as you will, the
fact remains that cotton is King!'
?
lt cannot he otherwise m thc

It is a lamentable fad that our
