HELPFUL OF THE SOUTH.

1t is with pleasure that we now re-
eeive that sterling newspaper, the Bal
tlmore Sun, regularity at this office.
We recognize in the SIN a powerful
influence which his been steadily ia
vorable to the Improvement and prog
ress of the South. This section of the
country has greater attractions and
more various resources than any other
quarter ofthe continent. We welcome
capital and industrial workers, pro-
missing rich returns for investment or
labor. These are to be found helpful
to us rather in the large cities of the
North and West than in foreign lands.
Baltimore enterprise has done Il great
deal to and for the South in its career
OF industrial development, and the
Baltimore Sun, one of the leading and
most reliable newspapers in the Union,
has aided the great work materially.
The San is a complete newspaper, a
great condenser of news, land we are glad
to add it to our list of exchanges.

the pioneer tobacco men OF Henderson.
Col. Burgwyn has just completed a
history brick plug factory 50xl45
feet, and he is now putting in the very
best and most improved machinery for
the manufacturing of plug tobacco.
This factory alone will employ from
$50 to 200 hands. The storage ware
house built last year now contains be-
tween four and five hundred packages
of leaf tobacco.
A track from the main line of the
r. & G.. r. r. is being laid to the
warehouse, so that the tobacco may be
loaded from the house onto the cars.
The capacity of the warehouse is to be
doubled at once.
Messrs. Rowland & Walker, who
have been manufacturing tobacco for
some months, tell me they are work
ing to the full strength Of their factory
and have sold all the goods they have
made.
Last night plans and specifications
for the erection Of water works for the
town were submitted to the board of
aldermen. and Henderson will have

"The Edison Company, as all know,

WAS 1T a GAME OF BLUFF ?

A report went out from Durham re-
Gently that five of the cigarette ma
chimes in the Dukes factory had been
ordered to be shipped to their New
York establishment and that number
of hands would be thrown out of en-
ployment, &c. 1t was feared by some
that this was the beginning of a move
that would result in closing up the
Durham establishment altogether. But
the whole thing seems to have been
done for purpose. The Raleigh cor
respondent of the Richmond Times
tells this story:
The reported removal of large part
of machinery Of Dukes cigarette fac
tory, at Durham, is now stated to be
a hoax. 1t is learned that the grand
jury of the Durham court recently
found bill in pursuance of charge of
Judge Armfeld against the alleged
cigarette trust. Thereupon the Dukes
ordered large part of their machine
ry removed to their New York factory,
and it was reported that the entire
Durham plant would be eventually re-
moved. This created something of a
panic in Durham, resulting in the
grand jury letting the matter drop,
and the order for removal of the ma
chInery was countermanded.
The Durham Sun says this on the
same subject:
The MesSrs. Dukes have not moved
their factory from Durham. The ma
chimes which were ordered out several
days ago have not yet been shipped,
and there Is hold up on the first re-
ports which were circulated throughout
the community. The SIN is of the
opinion that everything will come
aound all right.
If what the Times correspondent
says IS true-that the grand jury failed
to do their duty, either through fear,
favor or affection-then that whole
body ought to be indicted. Perhaps
the next Judge who holds court in
Durham may look into the matter.

CHRISTIAN WoMAN's EXCHANGE, }
New ORLEANS, La, DEC. 1 3, 80. {
At meeting called today for the
purpose of adopting suitable resolutions
on the death of Jefferson Davis, the
Board Of Managers of the Christian
Woman's Exchange determined to
inaguarate among the women of the
South a movement for the purpose OF
aiding in erecting a monument to his
memory.
With this end in view register was
Immediately opened at the Exchange
and will be kept for the convenience
of those who desire to send their con-
tributions through this medium. Mrs.
P. w. w. Strong, the duly appointed
Treasurer, will receive subscriptions,
deposit the same in bank and publish
list weekly.
1t was further determined to make
an appeal to all organized bodies of
women to call their organizations to-
gether at once to cooperate in this
great work, by making their associa-
ton domicils headquarters for, and
using their individual efforts i'll
collecting the subscriptions of all wo-
men in their respective communities.
As it is especially desirable that this
should be a voluntary and united
offering from all Southern women, it
is proposed that it be put within the
power of each one to contribute her
part by making the subscription fee
one dollar; but as many who by the
ravages of war or the death of their
bread winners, have been left so des-
titute that even this sum would be
burdensome, the widows mite is earn
estly solicited, and from those, favored
by fortune, whose hearts prompt them,
larger amounts will be welcomed.
This Exchange will gladly take
charge of and receipt for collections
of other organizations, turning them
over to the proper authorities when
they are ready to receive them.
Come forward, Southern women, with
one accord and without delay and
pay such tribute to the memory of
him who was the soul of chivalrv and
honor as shall prove you worthy of
the esteem in which he ever held you,
the bravest, truest women the world
has ever known.

SOME FACTS ABOUT HENDERSON
Thrift and Prosperity of the Capital
OF the Bright Tobacco Belt.

Mr.. J. c. Caddell, travelling CORES
pendent of the News- Observer, who
was In Henderson recently and writes
thus pleasantly of our town and people
to his paper:
We are indebted to Mr.. Sam Wat
kins for a pleasant drive around the
town Of Henderson. The Neus and
Observer has had frequent articles set
ting forth the thrift and different inter-
ests of the various towns of importance
in the State. There is nothing that
gives our people more real pleasure
than to see that their progress, and
that of their neighbors is occupying a
place in the columns of their leading
papers. North Carolinians know too
little of their own resources and the
progress towards wealth they are ev-
cry day making.
In this hours ride through the town
of Henderson l counted thirty-three
new dwellings in the course of cree
tion, not one of them yet completed.
and yet l heard from half dozen men
that not single house is empty in
town. People are every day applying
for houses. and none to rent. The rea-
son for this is at once seen, for along
with the building of those dwellings
nave been built factories. warehouses
and pack-houses. all of which must en-
ploy labor, and these laborers must
have homes for themselves and their
families. Ten factories and ware
houses are now in active operation
here. the building and furnishing of
which has cost over $4,000. The
stemming factory of Allen & Ginter is.
l learn, the largest of the kind in the
South. They have on hand now $780,
600 worth of tobacco already stemmed
and ready to be used. From bottom
to top these two buildings are models
for their neatness, orderly and system

WE are glad to learn from the
Raleigh Call that the Agricultural and
Mechanical College is appreciated by
the farmers of the State, every seat IN
the class room having been taken.
Arrangements are now being made for
additional accommodation. This is
one of the institutions in which not
only the farmers are interested but the
people of all the State, and 1t should
meet with every encouragement.
While other industries are being de-
veloped, agriculture must be for many
years and probably always will be the
main industry of the State, and the
better it is understood and the more
intelligeutly it is pursued the greater
the prosperity of the State will be.
The college will become at some day
one of the great and cherished institu-
tons of the State WIkminstOn Star.
The Atlantic-Pacific Railway Tun
mel, the great project of "Brick" Pom
eroy, is really being cut through the
main rage of the Rocky Mountains,
sixty miles due west from Denver. 1t
will shorten railway distance $50 miles
between Denver and Salt Lake City.
More than 10000 persons are now
financially interested in the enterprise.
The Tunnel will be five miles long
and 4,4oo feet below the top of Gray's
Peak. The company enters the year
1890 entirely free from floating debt,
all its bills paid and work going ahead
day and night in both ends Of the
Tunnel By the use of modern ma
chinery from six to ten feet Roadway
is gained every day. More than $50
veins of gold and silver will be crossed
by the Tunnel, and its mineral rights
alone will be worth millions. At the
late election Mr.. Pomeroy was elected |
and given the entire man
agement for ten years. The company
has money sufficient to carry on its
work, and is taking rank among the
greatest enterprises of the century.
TO those who care to know of it, a
arge descriptive illustrated pamphlet
will be sent free. Address, Mark M.

THE CIGARETTE TRUST.
Articles of Incorporation of the Amer.
lean Tobacco COMPANY.

Articles of incorporation were filed
on January FL in the office of the
Secretary of State of New Jersey, at
Trenton, by the American Tobacco
Company. The capital stock is fixed
SIS, 100000. The number of shares
is 100000. Of said stock $4,000
900 is divio ed into 800, 900 shares of
$50 each, which shall be the general
or common stock, and $4,000, 900 is
divided into 1oo, 900 shares of $500
each which shall be preferred stock.
The preferred stock will en,it.e the
holder to receive each year a dividend
of per cent, payable half yearly, be-
fore any dividend is set apart for the
common stock or so much of the s per
cent. as the profits justify. The
amount with which the company will
begin business is $4,000, 900 dividend
into 1000 shares.
The icorporators are Lewis Ginter

New York city; Benjamin N Duke and
George w. Watts, of Durham, n c.;
William H. Butler and Charles G.
Emery, of Brooklyn, and William S.
Kimball, of Rochester, N. Y. They
ask to be permitted to manufacture
tobacco in all its forms in New Jersey
and elsewhere and to establish depots
in the United States and other coun-
tries.
The company has arranged to take
in the properties of nearly all the large
cigarette manufacturers OF the country.
The principal exceptions are S. F.
Hess & Co., of Rochester and Lone
Jack Cigarette Company of Lynch
burg, Va. Most Of the plants of the
companies absorbed will be kept at
work under the supervision OF those
identified with their control before the
consolidation.
The principal purpose of the organ
ization is to extend the market for
American cigarettes thorough all
civilized foreign countries. The char
ter, under the laws Of New Jersey,
gives the American Tobacco Company
authority to carry on its legitimate
business as absolute owner of the
respective properties it has absorbed.
The principal Office of the company
will be nominally at Newark, N. ]. -,
The organization. of the American
Tobacco Company has been quietly
going on for some time past in room
II at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
1t is said in trade circles that the
American Tobacco Company is not 4
trust. 1t is an organization whose
chief purpose is the manufacture and
sale of cigarettes. The one cause
which has operated most strongly in
bringing it into existence was the
necessity which the great cigarette
manufacturers found themselves to be
under, to reduce expenses incident to
the rulnous "schemes" to recommend
themselves to the consumer. Human
ingenuity and the art resources of the
photographer have been exhausted in
the effort to find something "new" to
throw in with each retail purchase.
Cigarette smokers have been trained
to expect better and ever increasingly
presents with every package
they bought. 1t is calculated that the
formation Of the American Tobacco ;
Company will reduce the aggregate ex-
penSes of the cigarette manufacturers
composing it fully two fifths. in other
words many millions OF dollars an
nually. 1t is we'll for brethren to
dwell in harmony, and if the small boy |
suffers the Christening will do him good.
The American Tobacco Company's |
stockholders held meeting at Con-
tinental Hotel, Newark, on Thursday
evening and permanently organized by |!
