The Race Problem.

Mr.. E. s. Simmons, the noted blind
lawyer, of Washington, n. c., dellv-
cred In Temperance Hall Monday
night his lecture On "The Race Prob
lem in the South"
It will be remembered that THE
CoMdoNwEALTH last week gave a re-
view of book by Mr.. Summons on the
subject. The lecture covered many of
the salient points discussed in the
book, and gave as solution of the
race problem colonization OF the col
ored people in some extreme Southern
State. The lecture was for tie most
part strongly argumentative but at
times the speaker rose to flights OF real
eloquence and spoke with a fluency
and power that convinced his audience
of his sincerity and deep-seated earn
estness in the subject which he dis
cussed. The lecture covered the his
tory of the negroe race Tor bali
century and showed great familiarity
with the subject. 1t would instruct
and interest any audience in this coun-
try, North or South. It was logical, and
forcetul, and convincing to a marvel
Gus degree. His audience greatly en-
loved the hour, and The COMMON
WEALTH commends it to any commu-
nifty which may be fortunate to secure
Mr.. Simmons to deliver this beautiful
and helpful lecture.

WAREHOUSE FORCES.
A Well Equipped Market.

The COMMONWEALTH believes that
the tobacco warehouses here are as
well equipped as can be found on any
market.
The Star Warehouse has Mess. A. S.
Herndon and w. III. White for pro-
prietors Mess. J. J. Trotter and N. c..
Powell as book-keeper and welgher.
Mr.. Herndon comes from the Danvllle
market, and brings good and tested
experience In the tobacco business
He is clever and oblig,ng and does all
possible to make things pleasant and
profitable for those who patronage his
house.
Mr.. w. III. White is Scotland Neck
man, we'll known throughout Eastern
Carolina, can sell anything that is
made to sell and knows how to solicit
effectually.
Mr.. Trotter is from Reidsyllle, has
had much experience in the tobacco
business and is efficient In his work.
Mr.. Powell is an active young bust
ness man of Eastern Carolina, and will
serve the public we'll as he represents
the interests of the warehouse with
which he is connected.
The Banner Warehouse has for its
proprietors, Mess. J. A. Warren and j.
Frank Brlnkley; Mr.. Brinkley doing
the bookkeeping and Nh. Warren TAX
ing the work outside. They haye tor
floor manager, Mr.. A. n. Thompson,
who has had good experience before.
Mr.. Warren, like Mr.. Herndon, of
the Star Warehouse, is from Danville,
Va, and has had lifelong experience
in the tobacco business. He brings
his good experience from Danville's
large market to his work here. He is
clever and obliging and will do all pos
sible for the interest of his customers.
Mr.. Brinkley is a Scotland Neck
man, we'll known throughout all East
ern Carolina as "a hustler" He does
nothing by halves but puts his life
into his work. This he Is doing In
his tobacco business. He is pleasing
in address, popular with every one,
and these good traits. he turns to good
account in serving his customers,
Mr.. Thompson comes from Durham,
another great tobacco mart, and
knows the tobacco business and is Civ
ing the new market the benefit of his
experience.
The auctloneer is an important per-
sonage on a tobacco market, and Mr..
W. J. Finch, of Chatham, Va, is all
that is needed in the man who makes
the buyers pay for the weed. He is a
fast and glib talker, though few people
who lear him know much of of what
he says. Such is the language of the
auctioneer, and Mr.. Finch is no excep-
ton. He sells the tobacco rapidly and
well.
The buyers now here permanently
are Messrs. Henry Wilkinson and w.
T. Clement of Oxford !; o. D. Hooker, of
Hilisboro and G. G. Crumpton, of Dan
vile, Va. These gentlemen who have
come to spread out the money in the
community are very clever and cur
people already like them very much.
Take it all in all, the new tobacco
market is we'll equipped with good
men in every department, and every
thing points to most successful sea-
son and fine record for the market.
