A Chance for Tobacco Factory.

A gentlemen who is interested in tobacco
manufacturing in North Carolina and has bad

the purpose OF locating tobacco factory
here if he should he satisfied with the con-
ditions and the outlook of this place as
tobacco market. Hes prepared 10 make
very favorable Offer to any person or company
that is interested in the tobacco interest OF
this section and will he ready to talk busi.

is prepared 10 furnish one half or more of the
required capital 10 erect, equip aud operate
factory for manufacturing smoking and plug
tobacco and will give the factory his personal
at.ention. The factory in the beginning,
would require not more than $4,000 10 equip
and operate il in a satisfactory manner
AS the man 10 question is thoroughly re-
liable and is experienced in his line OF bust
ness, it would be we'll for the men in tins
CITY who have money TO invest and desire the
establishment Of factories that will add 10
the wealth of the place and increase the num-
ber of wage earners. 10 look into the matter
and if they are satisfied that a tobacco inc
tory will prove paying investment, and OF
benefit 10 the city, they should take hold or
it,
1t would be, perhaps, good idea for the
Sumter Manufacturing Company 10 take hold
of this tobacco factory and put the money
that has been accumulated into it. The COM

terprises with small capital. say $50. .0GO each,
are of much greater benefit 10 town aud
prove more profitable than one large factory
with capital much greater than the aggre-

1t might be the wisest plan and the more
profitable one in the end for the Sumter Man.

aierest in dozen small enterprises on this
basis and the benefit 10 the city would be
from twice TO three times as great as would
result from the erection OF one large cotton
mill For every moneyed man that 10 in
duced to locate in Sumter or invest his
money here, will be a source of strength, in
asmuch as they will be interested in the
growth and prosperity of the place and W i'll
use their influence in promoting 1t.

General A1decoa defeated yesterday The
forces of the Gomez command Some time
later he met others of Maceo's command in
the Morales plantation. inficting upon them
severe losses. Two troops of the cavalry
brigade of Gen. Aldecoa commanded by Col.

under the fire of the infantry, killing eight.
among them one officer and thirty-six horses.
Col. Hernandez defeated the enemy in Tienda
Melena, near Jaruco. and overcame near the
town La Catalina, the forces of Masca, which
were entrenched in good positions, capturing
two of these positions at the point of the bayo-
net and dislodging them from the others, sue
cessively. The enemy made the last stand in
the aforementioned town, and began TO fire
it, but were unable to succeed. on account of
the quick movement OF troops, and burning
only a few houses in the suburbs.
In the Sanu Spiritu district, Lieut.. Col.
Armilland defeated five times, in different
places, the leader Serain Senchez. and some
time later he defeated also the leader Tello.
