all be proud.

WINSTON is PLEASED WITH IT.
The News and Observers tobacco
edition is well received here Your
correspondent has heard many COM
pliments passed upon it. Like the cot
ton edition, it is regarded as one Of the
finest publications ever issued by any
paper in the Old North State. Here
are some expressions as picked up:
r. IF. Hanes a. Co: Tt is indeed
handsome and creditable issue.
Il. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.: Think
the issue not only handsome and well
gotten up, but believe it viii do great
good.
Col g. f. Webb: 1t is a fine publica-
ton. / think it will do good to the
tobacco interests of the State.
Dalton, Farrow q Co.; Tt is a beauty
and a credit alike to the publishers
and to the tobacco interests of the
State
Several tobacconists had not seen
the paper when i called on them. When
told that the issue was out every one
replied that they were anxious to see
it. Judging from the cotton edition,
each one felt assured that the paper
representing their industry" would
be a great success.
Winston, N. G., April 9.
Editor News and Observers Your
casters greeting to the tobacco trade
Of North Carolina in the shape Of your
mammoth tobacco edition reflects even
greater credit upon the modern pro-
gressfve journalism than even your
recent startling exploit when the News
and Observer for the first time placed
the cotton mill businuess of this State
properly before the public. While Raj
efgh occupies relatively a modest place
in the great tobacco industry of our
State, set to your great journalistic
enterprise an unequivocal thankful ex-
preston Of our great appreciation Of
your splendid achievement in present
ing to the public in a suceinct and
tangible form, the magnitude and inn
portance Of the States tobacco indus
try.

Raleigh, n. G., April G.
To the Editor. You are to be con
graduated upon the issue Of the News
and Observer of yesterday. TO say
that it surpasses the cotton edition, in
elegance and finish is the highest
praise / know how to bestow. / am
charmed with it, as far as I have gone,
in reading the evidences of progress
made by the people Of the State. 1t
cannot fail to be Of great advantage 10
the State by stimulating enterprise
and industries The intelligent public
will note the fact that the most heavily
taxed branch of industry is one Of the
most successful, and has done more to
build ~ our towns and cities than any
other. The fact furnishes a singular
commentary on the doctrine OF protec-
ton. The tax on the manufacture OF
tobacco is as heavy as the protection"
or bounty given to any other article.
Respectfully,
DANIEL r. GOODLOE.

Mr. ID. Y. Cooper, of Henderson, The
tobacco edition was masterpiece. 1t
does for the tobacco industry what
has never been done before in North
Carolina. One such edition is worth
more towards attracting new settlers
to North Carolina, than all the work of
all the immigration agents we have
ever had The State would do we'll to
dispense with it's immigration agent,
and spend the money in circulating
such papers as your cotton and tobac
co editions. IL you would print few
hundred copies of each edition on fine
paper editions de luxe) and bind them,
you would have the best industrial his
tory Of the State ever written
Mr.. Joseph Z. Pogue, president of
the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce: at
is the greatest triumph of newspaper
enterprise / have ever seen in North
Carolina. It presents the tobacco in
dustry Of the State as it was never
shown to the world before. The News
and Observer is a credit to the State.
Mr. s. L. Patterson, State Commits
sioner of Agriculture: "That edition
shows the tobacco industry of the
State as it was never shown before. It
it the greatest issue / have yet seen
in the State"
Mr.. Albert Kramer. of Durham; 81
