An Ice Factory For Winston.

The gentlemen who compose the
street railway syndicate have decid-
ed to operate an ice factory in their
plant, and propose to put $25 700
in the n Nv enterprise. Since they al
ready have the building and the
steam power, this will buy one of the
largest ice machines in the South. An
artesian well will be sunk in the rear
of the building to supply the water.
The factory will be running by next
spring.

TOBACCO CROP aorEs.


The culture of tobacco is gaining
ground in the eastern counties. Capt.
Ed Pace, once Winstonian, has
charge of a new warehouse at Wilson.
At the opening sale there last week
the Advance says not half the tohac-
co could be put on the floor There
were over 1000 people present, and
buyers we're from Oxford, Henderson,
Richmond and Durham. Another
warehouse is talked of and three
prize houses will be built at once.

Of which the poet spoke

State Chronicle.
The Leaksville Gazette says of the
crop in Rockingham: We learn that
the quality of the new tobacco crop
in this section now being cured is
much above the average; and while
it is less than usual in bulk, it will
prove to be q remunerative one.
Farmers are succeeding admirably
in curing the crop satisfactorily.
The primings have about all been
sold on the Winston market and the
regular crop is coming in. 1t is bring
ing good prices, and we see as fine
leaf on the floors now as we have
ever seen at any time, though, OF
course, it is too early to expect it in
quantities. The commoner grades
are plentiful and bring as good
prices as the farmers can reasonably
expect.
Our correspondent at Cana says
the tobacco crop in his section of Da-
vie county is not larger but better
in quality than last year.
1t is estimated that at least
$25O,OOO of new capital has been
put in the tobacco business in Wins
ton for the coming season. This
means that there will be larger and
more active demand for the leaf on
our market than ever before, conse-
quently prices will be stiff.

colony in that locality. A party of 300 left

Saturday in charge of @. B. HOffmen. who

be calls new era of human brotherhood" !"
The new colony is located about 1900 miles
south of San Francisco, on the Mexican
coast, bordering the Pacific Ocean, just at
the entrance of the Gulf of California
Mountain ranges are few miles inland, and
a vast barren desert extends for 600 to 800
miles in all directions. The only cOmmuni-
cation with civilization is a small boat which
phys between Guaymas and Topolobampo or
Slnaloa once month. The contract with the
Mexican government provides that Mexico o
shall pay the promoters of the movement
$500 for each family which they keep in the
country two years. The directors also have
large grants of land and many thousand
acres of purchased land, which they will sell
at good prices when ii has been irrigated by
c0lonists' efforts.
One of the c0lonists, who has just returned
with his family, gives a very discouraging
report of the country and gloomy picture
of the struggle for life there. The colonists
live among the lower classes of Mexicans
and Indians. They have no comforts or ad-
vantages. Their food consists of coarse
cornmeal and beans chiefly. relieved by occa-

Two masked burglars forced an entrance in

this place last night. John Griffin, an en-
ploye of Orcutt, was asleep in rear bed
room. He was bound and gagged by the
burglars. after which they ransacked the
place and secured all the booty they could
find. Then they set fire to the store and
left. Griffin could make no outcry, but
somebody discovered the fire and gave the
alarm. The fire department responded. and
Griffin managed to crawl along the floor un-
til he got to partition, upon which he beat
until the firemen heard him, smashed in the
doors and rescued him. He is suffering
from nervous prostration as the result of his
horrible experience. The damage is about
$4,000. There is no clue to the perpetrators.
