make 1t clear that whatever iron and

established a plant at Everett. a few
miles north Of Seattle, for the building
OF that class Of steel merchant vessels.
and the whaleback City of Everett was
launched at that city couple of months

WILL BE NO COMBINE.
WHAT THE NEW CIGARETTE
COMPANIES WILL DO.
Mr.. Dula Says There Will Be No Com.
blnation Between the Plug Manu-
facturers-The Trust has No
Connection With Them

In conversation with Mr.. r. B.
Dula of the Drummond Tobacco Com
pany, who has been spending several
days in Dan vile, the editor of the To
bacco Journal was assured that there
is not, nor will be. any combination
between the plug manufacturers who
are preparing togo into cigarette manu-
featuring.
Mr.. Dula stated that both the
Drummond company and the Light
s. Myers company had decided upon
engaging in the manufacture of Gig
aretteS purely as a business matter.
That they had given the matter Sc
rious consideration for some time,
and if there had been an available
machine they would have been en-
gagged in the manufacture of this class
of goods many years ago.
In answer to the question whether
there was any combination between
the plug manufacturers, or probably
of one being made, Mr.. Dula said that
he would speak for both the Drum
mond and Liggett s. Myers compa-
MES in regard to that matter, and
most emphatically deny that there is
not nor would be any combination be-
tween themselves and any ether COM
pany or combination, and was willing
to back this statement with any guar
antee.
In regard to the rumor that an
agreement had been reached between
the American Tobacco Company, Mr..
Dula said that there was not only no
truth in the rumor but that no over
lures had been made either by the
American Tobacco Company or the
plug manufacturers, nor had any cor
respondence been had between them.
Mr.. Dula further stated that they
would use the Elliott machine, and
have purchased machinery for the
conduct this business as they have
their plug business, with the object
of furnishing class of goods that will
please the people.

weekly Crop Bulletin.

The reports of correspondents of
the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin,
issued by the North Carolina State
Weather Service, for the week ending
Saturday, August 81, 1895, indicate
another very favorable week. The
temperature was above normal the
entire week, averaging about five de-
grees above per day. In the central
district the maximum temperature
reached SO degrees, which is as high
as has heretofore occurred in the last
decade in August. There was abun-
dant sunshine. The rainfall was be-
low normal, but showers occurred at
various places from the 9th to 31st.
Cotton has improved, is opening now
in several counties, and picking will
begin the first week of September.
Tobacco cures are bright. Pea-vines
are making heavy growth. Fodder

and sowing oats have progressed
