LARGEST CIRCULATION OF AMY NORTH CAROLINA DAILY PAPER

Park & Tillford, was the first witness,
out by the direct and cross-examination,
was that Park & Tillford had an agree
ment with the American Tobacco Com
pany and that under it his firm was en-
abled to make very large profit. 1t was
stipulated that no other cigarette was to
be handled by the firm, but the National
Cigarette and Tobacco Company's CT
garette came on the market and Park
& Tillford bought $4,000 cigarettes from
them. Then Mr.. Butler, presumably rep
resenting the American Tobacco Com
pany, laid down an ultimatum, and Park
& Tillford were compelled to give up the
other cigarettes, returning them to the
National Company. The agreement with
the American Tobacco Company was in
writing and is at present in the safe of
Park & Tillford. Under the agreement,
Mr.. Park said his firm received a large
amount of stock on consignment. Mr..
Park said the agreement had been made
voluntarily and that the firm expected to
live up to it.
During the cross-examination of Mr..
Park, Mr. Choate declared that business
principles alone were employed in the
transaction O fthe business of his clients.
.'They are the same principles as are en-
ployed by business houses the world
over" said Mr.. Choate.
No further witnesses were called before
adjournment was taken until tomorrow.

JEFFERSON STILL LIVES
PEOPLE COME FROM EVERY
WHERE FOR SEVERAL DAYS.
FIVE SPECIAL TRAINS YESTERDAY
The Lawn Was Packed With People Long Be-
fore Noon--Mr, Bryan Took Lunch With
Or. Paul Baringer, Chairman
of the University.

Charlottesville, Va, June 15.-The

ment exercises at University of Virginia
occurred on the lawn to-day at noon
that is, the great speech by Hon. VIM.
Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska, before the
Washington ad Jefferson Literary So
cieties of the University His subject
was, a announced all over the coun-
try: Jefferson Still Lives"
The people had congregated here from
all sections of the country; men promi-
nent in all the walks of life, business and
political, many of them alumni of this
old University, who had not seen their
alma mater since leaving its classic
shades in years gone by. The extent of
the interest, which this address has at
tracted throughout the country has sur
prised every one. Private parties have
been coming LIN for several days past,
and this morning there were FIVE special
trains which entered Charlottesville, each
loaded with visitors to its full capacity.
The lawn was packed with people long
before the hour set for the grafton.
Promptly at u o'clock noon, Mr.. Bryan
assembled the stand. He was accom-
panied by DR.. Paul Is. Barringer, chair
man of the University faculty; Rev.
Randolph McKim, ID. D., president for
the National Alumni Society; Rev. J.
VIM Jones, d. D., former chaplain of
the Miller Manual Labor School; ex-
Lieutenant-Go j. Hoge Tyler, of
Virginia; Capt O'Banon, of Virginia, a
cousin of Mr.. Bryan; Judge Nichols, of
Prince William Mr.. Daniel Harmon,
Hon. Marshall Mccormick, member of
the board of visitors of the University,
and Mr.. j. S. Campbell final president
of the Washington Literary Society,
and several others.
Mr. Bryan was introduced by Mr..
Campbell and his address was devoted
mainly TO Jefferson's ideas of govern
ment.
While abiding simply to the great
issue of the money question, he said,
since such was so decidedly out of place,
he could not deal with it on this occasion.
But he declared that while he might be
wrOng-every human being was liable to
error-the one need of the people was a
currency good everywhere. In other
words one which would not tiuctuate in
value, and which was as good as any
other in the world.
After the conclusion of the address,
Mr.. Bryan spent two hours on the lawn
holding a general reception, and then
was entertained by DIR. Barringer at
luncheon at his private house, where
quite a number of Mr.. Bryan's political
friends were invited to meet him.

DAUNTLESS A DARLING
IN AND OUT OF HILLSB0R0UGH BAY
WITH ARMS.
After Pretty Filibuster Bluff, Sails Up to the
Lonely Schooner's Side and is
Off All Right.

Jacksonville, Fla, June ia special
to the Citizen from Tampa says:
The Dauntless, or boat supposed to be
that vessel, came into Hillsborough bay
last night and took on a cargo of arms
and ammunition from a schooner lying
at anchor off the mouth of the Alfalfa
River and sailed speedily away for the
Cuban shore.
A report was sent out yesterday that
the Dauntless had sailed from Key West
with an expedition and it was circulat-
ed by those interested. 1t was bold
and successful bluff that threw the Of
ficers entirely off their guard and the
Dauntless came in last night and got
her cargo. The two boats were tied up
until about l o'clock and in the moon
light could be plainly seen from the
dock along the river front of the city.
j. Il. Cartaya and Charles Silva are
the only ones who are known to be
aboard and they came UP from Key
West.
The schooner came into the bay late
Saturday afternoon and anchored Her
name is not known. She is two-masted
and is of about thirty tons. Her hull is
ed. Quite number of men went from
West Tampa, striking across country
and proceeding to a point on the bay
shore where they took to boats near the
place where the men of Col. Callero' $
expedition embarked. The entire work
shows that it has master hands behind
it, for the expedition was gone fully
twelve hours before rhe authorities or

going on, so completely were they throwr
off their guard by yesterdays shrewd
ruse The Dauntless had an engagement
to go on the ways here yesterday, and
had a government boat come up on her
good excuse for being in Hillsborough
bay. The mysterious schooner left
about daylight this morning.
There is a rumor to the effect that the
schooner halls from the neighborhood OF
Carrabelle and received her cargo at a
point where the railroad crosses the riv-
err. The presence of Capt. Parlin, a
prominent citizen of Carrabelle, in this
city for the past few days, adds strength
to the rumor. Since his arrival he has
been in conference with parties formerly
very active in the filibusterng business.
SOMETHING CUTE GOING.

There is strong evidence of something
