DIR. Mccoy Makes the Extension
Ample-It Covers Two
Full Months.

According to the notice given in the
daliy papers last week, Ur Mccoy has eX-
tended the S3 rate FOR the remainder of
tne year The So rate was made with the
purpose OF giving all an opportunity to
take advantage OF it The crowds Of
uurihE the concluding days Of the month
entireIy frustrated this purpose. The ply
sicians were able 10 see
Only Small Proportion
OF those who applied. If DTs Mccoy and
COWden had Ieen twenty doctors instead
or two doctors they could Lot have Legun
to have cared for the people
DR.. Mccoy felt that in extending the
rate from September through October .Ie
had given abundant time to all, but the
eyents Of the last few days of the IL Cnth
show him that he was mistaken. He,
therefore. as soon as this was realized,
sent out published notices,
Requesting Patients to Wait
until the coming week, and extending tie
rate, not for week or for a Esonih, but
for the entire time elapsing between now
and the st or January. He made the eX-
tension cover two months instead OF one,
so that there might be abundant time, SO
that there might be- no repetition OF the
scenes of the last few days, and the hurry
ing and confusion incident to them.
Such unprecedented crowds as those
that filled his parlors interfered both with
his work and with the comfort of the
patients. The extension OF the rate for
the remainder Of tie year Will give all
Deliberate Opportunity.
There need be no hurrying and no con
fusion. All who apply for treatment be-
at the rate OF 81 a month. This is posi-
lively and absolutely the last opportunity
under the rate, and u is certainly q gen
erous and ample one in time.

Betty King made one of her periodical

Mrs. Davis had not previously enjoyed the
acquaintance OF Betty, and now she wishes
that she had lived ON without ever having
become aware of Betty's existence.
Lefty had company last night III the per

this lady for three years Petty was
glad To see and welcome him in her new

A little more than two years after
Rocky Mount started in the tobacco
trade, the individual forces of the mar
ket were augmented by the re1noval
from Henderson, N. c., of Mr.. Buckner
Davis Mr.. Davis had been for years
a member of the well known firm OF
tobacconists, Davis Bros. e. Co., of
Henderson, and he took with him that
knowledge of the business, and that
push and energy which had for years
been features of his operations in
Henderson.
4 soon as he studied the situation
in Rocky Mount he made up his mind
that its future as a tobacco centre was
bright. He is one of those kind of
men who are always ready to back
their Judgment, not only with their
energies but with their money; so he
planted himself in Rocky Mount and
began planting his dollars there. He

There are two counties in North
Carolina that have forever had some
distinguishing characteristics. These
two counties are Edgecombe and Nash.
One of the counties, Edgecombe, is
one hundred and sixty-three years old.
The other, Nash, is one hundred anl
nineteen. They adjoin each other, and
their central line is the Wilmington &
Weldon railroad. Their interests are,
in a measure, intermingled, particular
~ is this true at one point where they
own jointly one of the States liveliest
and most progressive cities.
This place is Rocky Mount.
Situated on both sides of the Will
mington e Weldon railroad, one-haIf,
or little over half, in Nash, the other
in Edgecombe.
There is another interesting feature
connected with the joint interest of
Nash and Edgecombe in this hustling
little city. It is, that through it passes
the Albemarle e. Raleigh road, a divi-
sion of the Coast Line system, and this
road connects Rocky Mount directly
with Tarboro, the county capitol Of
Edgecombe, and Nashville, the county
seat of Nash, each about the same dist
ance away.
Years ago, Edgecombe was famous
for it's plantations, stocked with the
finest cattle, horses, and other stock,
and teeming with hundreds of slaves.

THORP AND KICKS.

This is one of the best firms in
Eastern Carolina, and it is doing q very
large business in handling leaf. 1t is
composed of Mr. r. IT. Kicks and Mr..
Henry r. Thorp. Mr.. Kicks is one of
the wealthiest citizens of his section,
a man of excellent Judgment, Of great
energy, and of the highest capacity.
He is one of the pioneer successful
growers of Nash county. When { was
first found that Nash soil was wen suit
ed to the cultivation Of bright tobac-
co, Mr. Kicks went into the business
on a large scale. He built barns and
planted the best seed employed ex-
perts in curing from Granville, and
inside Of a year he had learned more
about it than any Of his teachers. Mr..
Kicks Judgment about farming and
business is unerring.
Mr.. Thorpe the junior partner, got
his first training in Raleigh where he
was popular, not only among his fell
low tobacco men but with all who knew
him. Mr. Thorpe is not only a young
man of high character, but of rare
cleyerness and good judgment, combin-
ing the suayiter in modO with the forth

ness he has already made a signal sue

Mr.. Hines Is a successful business
man, and has more energy to the
square in than any man OF his
size anywhere. Tt is energy, too,
that is well directed. He began his
business career before he was of age,
and has never known what it was not
to be money-maker.
Mr.. Hines is an educated man. and
has brought to bear upon his business
all his capacity. He has learned the

the highest sense of that much abused
word. He is ambitious to do large

Davis warehouse, and threw his banner
to the breezes.
His removal to Rocky Mount and his
advent into it's tobacco industry was
sort of a signal for a more determined
push ahead for the buoyant new mar
ket. He knew how to manage a leaf
tobacco business; he knew all about
the leaf; he knew how to run a ware
house. All these thing he had learned
after close attention and years of hard
work and deep study. The Davis
warehouse started off under his man
agement at a winning pace and in n
little while he stepped to the front,
and has steadily maintained front
position.
Mr.. Davis has surrounded himself
in the management of his warehouse
with corps of the most careful and
competent warehousemen to be found
anywhere. Every department Of his
! business is in the hands of expert
managers, and among them there is
that harmony Of action and effort that
produces a telling volume of force in
the conduct of business enterprise.
Mr.. w. r. Hawkins, formerly of
Henderson, is the book-keeper and ac-
countant. Mr.. Fuller, formerly citi-
zen Of Franklin county, is the correct
