VENEZUELA COMMISSION.
An Early Decision In Not Looked fol
by Justice brewer.

by Justice brewer.
The prediction by the London Speaker of
an early decision by the Venezuelan boun-
dairy commission respecting the boundary
line between Venezuela and British Guiana
is not shai ed by those collversant with the
facts In the case. Justice Brewer the
president of the commission, does not think
the commission will render an opinion at
an early day. The Venezuelan case, re-
Gently presented to the commission, was in
the Spanish text, and this Is being trans
lated into English. and but portion of it
has been received from the translators
The evidence contained in the Venezuelan
side Of the controversy may contain some
facts which demand further investigation,
which would be a factor In delaying the
preparation of the report. Besides this
there is talk among the members of the
commission looking to the securing of sum-
mer quarters at some northern resort.
which Is another indication that the early
decision is not at all likely. Minister An
drade of Venezuela does not look for a de-
cision before the fall.

Greenville's industrial renaissance.
Mr.. Oscar Hooker was silent partner
until last year, but he is now actively
engaged with his partners in the con-
duct of the business, and together the
three make an efficient firm that can
not be surpassed anywhere. 1t ought
to be said, in passing, that the original
owners of the Eastern, Joyner d He'll
brorler. built the first leaf factory IN
Greenville, and made sacrifices TO hrIn-
Nv establish the market.
In 1s93-the second year--the sales
increased to 1,225,0O0 pounds gam
of one million pounds over the first
wear. and Greetnville then had two
warehouses and two prize houses.
More prize houses were needed, and
the Greenyille Warehouse, with COM
men1able public spirit and faith, gave
the order for the erection Of one. Buyers
who had hitherto hesitated about
Greenville's future, moved in, neW
warehouse was erected, q buyer Of
the American Tobacco Company lo-
Gated ia Greenyille, and the third
wear witnessed the sale of 2,225,00O
that Greenville's
market gained at the rate of million
pounds d year. The fourth year the
sale aggregated 100000 pounds 4

admitted as partner, and the Eastern
warehouse is now run by these gentle
men under the firm name of Evans,
Joyner & Co.
In the two seasons when managed by
Mr.. Joyner it enjoyed high degree OF
prosperity, and his management
stamped Mr.. Joyner as thorough
Going warehouseman. The firm was
strengthened by the admission Of Mr..
Evans, who was among the first to en-
gage in tobacco culture in Pitt, and the
first to engage in the warehouse busl-
ness in Greenville. He is as good a
Judge of tobacco as can be found on
The Eastern markets, and is very popu-
lar because the people know his WORD

and though not bred and born to the
culture and manipulations of tobacco,
he is now an expert
Mr.. MEG Ernul was also a brave
soldier, a successful man in every way,
and while not actively engaged in the
business, his interests and his infp-
ence tell powerfully for the "Star."
Mr. Wiley Brown, the junior member
of the firm, is a very popular citizen,
and before entering the tobacco bust
ness, carried on a large and successful
mercantile establishment in Green
vile. With the rising Of the bright
star of bright tobacco, he began TO
study the weed until he has learned so
much that he can give points
even to Brassfeld tobacco grower.
This firm was fortunate in securing
the services of Capt. Ed. NJ Pace as
manager and salesman. Capt. Pace
is as widely and favorably known as
any man i'm the tobacco business in
North Carolina, having been in the
warehouse business twenty-seyen
years. He was a leading actor in his
native county, Caswell, in the trying
days when Kirk invaded North Caro-
lima. Capt. Pace was selected with the
late Col. George N. Williamson to serve
the writ of habeas corpus upon the cut
throat Kirk at Yanceyyille. Before
that he had served with signal bravery
in the Confederate army. Capt. Pace
and his brother were the originators

has handled millions and millions Of
pounds. lie is q veteran expert, and is
not only held in high estimation for
his mastery of the business, but also
for his many virtues and popular man
ners. He is a genial, whole-aouled man
who makes friends wherever he goes.
In Greenyille he is easily among the
most popular citizens Of the commun
ity, and the Star Warehouse is his
pride.
He takes great pride in the rapid I
growth of Greenville as tobacco mar
ket, and he has been an important fac
tor in the increased culture of tobacco
in Pitt as well as in its sale.

ToBAcoo's GOOD WORK.
Editor Whichard Tells what Has Done
for Creenville.

Until about ten years ago the tobacco
belt OF North Carolina lay west of the
main line of the Wilmington &Weldon
Railroad. Up to that time no one had
ever dreamed that the level plains of
eastern North Carolina would grow
and develop the golden weed.
Prior to 1885 the agricultural fields
of this section were devoted to the
growth of cotton as the staple money
crop, while many farmers grew linn
tied quantities of small grain for home
consumption In the estimation of
nearly all living outside of this now
prosperous and fertile section, eastern
North Carolina was at that time
looked upon as a sparsely settled coun-
try, full of malarial miasma, in which
no one could live without chills and
fever, and could not live long with
them. 1t was about this time the iu-
PRODUCTION of tobacco culture was
made in Nash, Edgecombe and a few
of the eastern counties. At first it was
an experiment, and many viewed the
venture with doubts and misgivings,
and not until after the second or third
year of its culture in those counties did
Pitt take the initiative step.
From the very first Pitt county to-
bacco took the lead I'm point Of quality,
and the few beginners meeting with
success and making money out of the
crop, numbers of others caught the in-
spiration and at once realized that
product peculiarly adapted to our soils
had been discovered, by whose mar
cotic leaves mortgaged Indebtedness
and accruing interests were destined to
be banished from many q home,
In the third and second years that
tobacco was grown in Pitt county a
large number of the farmers realized
as much as $3.50 to $500 per acre on
their crops. Spurred on by the hope
of reward, the whole county soon be-
gan cultivating tobacco, and the result

a boy, to know tobacco was as natural
as to know where the best fishing was
to be had. He received a business edu-
cation at Poughkeepsie Business Col
lege, and began his business career in
the warehouse of Davis q Gregory, in
Oxford Later ne moved to Rocky
Mount, and, in 1894, became a citizen
of Greenville. He is a large buyer

in Granville county, to teach them how
to cultivate bright tobacco. 1T was
grown and cured successfully from the
start, hut had to be shipped often as
far away as Oxford and Henderson for
sale. and this put a cost upon it that
reduced the profits. The area in to-
bacco gradually grew until 1890, when
about one thousand acres were planted
in tobacco. In 1891, now that ware
houses at Wilson offered nearer
market, three thousand acres were put
IN tobacco.

why send our tobacco TO Wilson,

to put to themselves. They answered
it in June. 1891. by organizing the
