TWO MORE POINTS.
The Silver Convention Adopts Two Additional ResOlu- tiOns of Paramount In-
 terest to Us.

The Southwest Silver Convention. which adjourned yesterday in Fl Psso, adopted two pointed resolutions before turning of the gas. Here they are:
 Whereas, The territories of New Mexico, Arizona and Utah, rich in mineral and agricultural wealth and other natural resources, with intslli- gent, thrifty populations, possessing abundant taxable wealth to sustain local self government, are entitled to be speedily admitted to statehood i; therefore be it
 Resolved, That Congress be re- quested to admit without unnecessary delay the territories of New Msxice, Arizona and Utah to statehood.
 Whereas. In order that the United States shall receive the greatest bsne- fits by the establishment ar close com. mercisl relations with the Latin-Am erican republics as we'll as all other silver and bimetallic nations fths world, therefore be it

THE discussion of a reciprocity treaty between this country and Mex ico has revealed the fact that Mexico does not want a treaty of that kind, with the exception Of an arrangement whereby her cattle can be admitted free of duty into this country, and for which privilege she will be willing to give up to the United States any con- cession which they may ask. There is no doubt but that such an arrange ment would be advantageous to Ari- sona, and it's consummation cannot be too quickly brought about.

TOBACCO RECEIPTS LARGE.
The Journals Weekly Review of the
Winston Market.

Tobacco receipts the past week have
been large, consisting chiefly of wagon
trade, although the shipments by rail
have also been heavy. For most of
the week the warehouses were crowd
ed and sales lasted nearly all day.
The weather has been favorable for
handling and planters are taking adj
vantage of it by selling enough stock
to get ( hristmaS money at least. Re-
ports from all the inland markets
show large sales for the week closing
today.
The quality of the offerings show no
decided Improvement. Most of the
stock consists of common working
grades, with a fairly good supply of
good filters. Wrappers are still show
ing up in small quantities and the
trade does not look for any improve
ment either in quantity or quality.
Smokers seem plentiful but of low
grade.
During the week prices have re-
manned steady showing no decline,
although in some sections planters
seem dissatisfied. If the prices are
too low they must remember that
they are caused solely by over-crop-
ping. Tobacco sells on its merit and
if it is low, it is not the buyer or man
ufacturers fault. but that of the plan
ter. For years we have warned to-
bacco planters that their crops are too
large. a repetition of the cotton
planters troubles may teach them a
lesson.
Business in manufactured stock is
light. Collections are good and the
outlook for plug trade next year is
very fine. The following is the stamp
sales for the week at the Winston Of
fec.

AN AGED CITIZEN DEAD.
John Pinckney Scales. of Sandy
Ridge, Passes Away.

John Pinckney Scales, OF Sandy
Ridge, Passes Away.
J. P. Scales, of Sandy Ridge, Stokes
county, died on Dec. 18th, of rheuma
tism and paralysis combined.
Mr.. Scales was born in Patrick
county, Va, July 9th, 1903, only
about Que mile from the place where
he died. He was the son of Peter and
Oney Scales. He was a man of excel
lent mind and was educated in the
country schools and in the academy
at Madison, then taught by the af-
terward distinguished Nathaniel Boy
den. Judge Boyden used to say that
Mr.. Scales was the first student he en-
rolled.
Mr.. Scales married Miss Judith II.
Shelton, Of Henry county, Virginia,
children, Mary Oney, now Mrs. p. IL.
Shelton, of Windsor, Mo-: Sarah,
Elijah, Elizabeth, Susan, James S.,
Peter NJ, Fanny and Joseph. The
third and fourth daughters are dead.
All the other children but Mrs. Shell
ton and Mr.. James S. Scales, of this
city, are living in the old home place
in Stokes.
In 1857, Mr.. Scales became rheu-
matte and hasn't walked since that
year. About two years ago he had a
stroke of paralysis, which brought on
the end. 1t so affected his throat
that he couldn't swallow and this
caused his death on the 14th. He
died before Mr.. J. S. Scales, of this
city, could reach.his bedside.
Mr.. Scales constitution was. the
wonder of all who knew him. That
he has lived 35 years, without being
able to take any bodily exercise is in
deed most remarkable. At the time
of his death he was 81 years, months
and days old.
He was not member of any church,
but was a Presbyterian in faith. The
funeral was preached by Rev. Peter
Hutchinson, a Baptist preacher, and
the remains were inferred in the fam
lily burying-ground at Sandy Ridge.

that they have been 'sgu1led.''

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.
Harrison Evans Kills Himself With a
Shotgun.

Harrison Evans, a white man nine
teen years of age, shot and killed him
self with a double-barrel shotgun
at 2:42 D. M. December 10Th, it is sup
posed accidentally, in the house of
Sam Pringle, colored, near Belo's
pond.
Young Evans had been out hunting
with Ike league. They returned to
Pringle's and were alone in the room
when the shooting occurred.
league says they had taken few
drinks each but were not drunk. lie
says he preceded Evans in the room
and was turning around to speak
w hen the gun fired. The entire load
took effect in Evans neck and he died
instantaneously.
The wound shows THAT the muZzle
of the gun must have been near the
neck, asthe flesh was badly burnt from
the powder.
league thinks that Evans forgot to
lower the hammer of the gun.
Evans was d tobacco hand and
boarded at George Tesh's on East
Fifth street. His brother, Louis Ev-.
ans, went at once to the scene.
NO INQUEST HELD.
Coroner Best decided that it wa
not necessary to hold an inquest over
the young man Evans, who was killed
in the house of Sam Pringle, near
Belo's pond last Saturday. All the ev-
idence, which was very plain, proved
clearly to the satisfaction of the cor
oner and everyone else that the shoot
ing was purely accidental and was
done by Evans own hands.
