WHISKEY AND TOBACCO.
RUIN OF SMALL DEALERS.

WINSTON, N. c.. Dec. 17.-The
Southern Tobacco Journal published
this afternoon, claims to have authen.
tic information that the American
Tobacco Company has absorbed the
Lorillard Tobacco Company, of New
Jersey. The Journal rays: This is
q sad reflection, and will be road
with unusual interest by the trade.
The Journal predicted months ago
that it would be an easy matter for
the trust to absorb the Lorillard peo-
pie, and it now looks as if this had
beed accomplished. 1t will only be
an easy matter for them to go step
further aud take in st. Louie fac.
tory or two. What this will mean
to The tobacco trade can easily be
seen. 1t is now limited that as soon
as the wEiskey trust, which is about
to get control of NIL the whiskey bus.
mess in this country, is perfected, the
two corporations will combire, maxi
ing the largest money corporation in
the world.'
Such corporation would si:aply
mean ruin to the palance of the to-
bacco trade in this country. The
combined value of the two enter.
priscs would be nearly 500, 100000
enough, it is said, to influence leg
islation in every State in tho Union.

sentations frnuduichtly made by the
other contracting party or his agert

2. a promoter is person who
brings about the incorporation or the
organization of a corporation, aids in
procuring subscriptions and sets in
motion the machinery which leads to
the formation Of the company, and
every such person is considered in
law As occupying u flduciary relation
toward the corporation, and is guilty
of n breach of trust if he sell proper

company that the property belonged
to him. And he may commit n
breach of trust by accepting a bonus
