and during the week an address
from the tobacco and fruit grow
ers will be sent toevery Congress-
man in the States indicated.
This address recites the history
of the last effort made to secure
the repeal; that it failed when
two-thirds OF the House favored
it; that thefailure was notorious
ly because the Speaker would not
recognize any one to make the
motion calling the proposed re-
peal before the House; that the
Speaker did this because a eau
Gus, the majority in which was
less thln a third OF the whole
House, had declared against such
recognition.
The snares Of the caucus are
fully portrayed and the members
addressed are requested to keep
out OF their entanglements on the
tobacco and fruit brandy issue,
and to maintain from the begin
ming that this is an economical
and not a political question,
hence party caucuses should have
no control oft. In this way they
will have their hands free at all
times TO push the issue to the
front. They are further request
ed not to vote in caucus for any
candidate for Speaker who will
not give assurances that he will
recognize a motion to consider
the proposed repeal.
The strong argument of the ad-
dress is on this point, and. would
Indicate chat the purpose is to
hold the Southern Republicans to
the support Of Leonidas C. Houk,
ofTennessee, for Speaker, Until a
point is reached where definite as
Surances can be secured from the
other candidates.
The closing paragraph OF the
address is "a request for the ad-
vancement OF a national educa-
tional bill, which will serve as the
basis for the future development
of schools in the South. No di.
rect reference is made to the Blair
bill.-WaShingtOn Post.

NORTH CAROLINA TOBACCO
ASSOCIATION.
Hospitality Entertained by the
Citizens of Greensboro.

| 'hELNoooho, ~. W, aug. q
The Chamber OF Commerce was
the scene of lively handshakings
and greetings OF tobacco men
this morning. They began as
sembling there long before the
hour of meeting and were ex.
changing with each other the
little pleasantries of the occasion
when the meeting was called to
order at II O'Clock by First Vice
President j. L. King.
Hon. J. W. Forbes, mayor of
Greensboro, extended to the
members of the association acor-
dial welcome to the city and in
eloquent terms referred to theex-
allied position OF tobacco as an
industry in North Carolina. The
speech produced happy effect
and was responded to by Mr.. ].
G. Angler, of Durham.
Commissioner of Agriculture
Robinson in a well timed and
practical speech addressed the
convention and was followed by
Mr.. W. b. Brooks, OF panville,
who delivered a timely and effec-
tive address.
The Secretary then read a let
ter from President, J. s. Carr, of
Durham, expressing his regrets
at being unable to attend the
convention and assuring it of his
sympathy and support.
The convention then proceeded
to business and the reports of
the various officers followed by
those of the committees were
read and disposed of.
1t was then recommended that
an entire change be made in the
conduct of the Association. AZ
ter much discussion the motion
was carried and a committee of
five was appointed to draught a
constitution and by laws, which
should be submitted to the con-
vention latter on.
The committee appointed for
that purpose, in the afternoon
session submitted for the appro-
val OF the convention a constitu-
tion and by laws that did away
with all the proceedings OF the
two previous conventions, reor-
ganizing the Association on an
entirely new basis.
The new and approved consti-
tuition provides that all persons
who are leg1timately engaged in
tobacco business in the State of
North Carolina and who pay a
small per capita assessment are
eligible for election as members of
the Association.
The constitution contains
many valuable and attractive
features and reflects much credit
upon those who draughted it.
With it the Association begins a
new life under most encouraging
circumstances and with the ex-
perieuce its members havegained,
will enable them to steer clear Of
past errors.
The officers elected for the en-
suiug year are as follows: Presi-
dent, Hon. J. l.. King, of Green's
boro; Secretary, G. L. Webb, of
Winston; Treasurer, NJ. A.
Walker, of Winston. The other
officers will be elected later.
The banquet which is an elaho-
rate affair is now in progress at
the McAdoo House. The boys
seem to be thoroughly enjoying
themselves and are here with bus
iness in their eyes. Thorough
good feeling prevails, and There
| is 40 doubt that the convention
will do valuable work tomorrow
which will decide that it shall be
| a lasting success aud an hOnorto
old North Carolina.

with the ruling of the Court

for costs, and cited authority to the Court.
The Judge said the witnesses would be
paid, but would not make a ruling to that
effect. Kearney insisted that he make
such a ruling, but the Judge again refused.
stating, as before, that the witnesses would
be paid.
Kearney then asked if the Court was ad-
journed. and the Judge answering in the
affirmative, Kearney applied some uncom-
plimentary language to him.
Justice Michaels instructed tie constable
to arrest Kearney, but he refused, as the
Court had adjourned.
Kearney remarked that he would at
once begin proceedings to impeach him for
drunkenness, and as he went to take his
books the Judge struck him, but doing no
damage.
Bystanders interfered and stopped the
fight. Public sympathy seems to be with
Kearney, as the attorney for Smith, who
has been prosecuted time and again to get
possession of piece of land that is valu-
able only to Smith, who poiishes shells for
living. Future trouble is feared.

marked difference in The men as they ap-
pesred on the stage, Faulkner showing a
mass of..muscles hardened and matured.
while Eeton, who is not twenty years old,
appeared to be in poor training, with soft
muscles not half developed. Nevertheless,
the Australian exhibited an amount of
agility and skill which gave Faulkner the
hardest tussle of his life in the lightweight
class.
The first bout was a remarkable exhibit
ton of the science of wrestling, from both
contestants, and Egton won rounds of ap-
plause By the manner iu which he evaded
the powerful holds of his stronger; opp5-
nent. After an exciting contest Faulkner
won the first fall, in 81 minutes.
The second bout resulted the same as the
first, only it required longer time for
Faulkner to throw his man, and several
times Egton came very near downing him,
lacking only strength necessary 10 back his
skillful hold. Time l94 minutes
After 1t was over Faulkner remarked to
friend that il was only question of time
