They Have u Right to Sell without a
Stamp.

stamp
Among the Treasury decisions re
Gently issued is the following of inter
est to tobacco planters, written by
Commissioner Scott to a tobacconist:
In reply to your letter of the 18th
of June l3, 1898, does not change the
law previously existing relating to
farmers or growers of tobacco. The
farmer has a right to sell and deliver
leaf tobacco of his own raising in the
original hogshead, case, or bale, or
loose in the original hogshead, case,
or bale, or loose in the hand, but is
not permitted to stem, twist, roll,
plait, sweeten, cut, or grind, or other
wise reduce the tobacco from it's
natural condition in which it was
cured on the farm, and sell the same
to consumers. The farmer cannot
employ an agent to travel from place
to place and sell and deliver his to-
baccO, but he may himself sell and de-
liver the tobacco in any quantity. If
the tobacco is sold on sample by an
agent, it must be delivered by the
farmer or grower directly to the pur-
chaser.
There is no special tax imposed
upon the farmer or grower for selling
tobacco of his own growth and rails
ing. Neither is he required to qualify
as dealer in leaf tobacco in order to
dispose of his crop.
Respectfully yours,
N. B. SCOTT, Commissioner.

the Defeated Candidate.
Chairman Holton spent Sunday here
with his family. He went to Green's
boro Monday and the Record has
news to the effect that the District At
torney is trying to make peace in his
household over Settles defeat. There
is a chasm which he desires to close
before any damage is done. Settle is
sore all over-mad as a hornet, and
wants somebody's gore. Holton' 8
recipe is to induce Settle to come out
and make a canvass of the State from
one end to the other. In return for
this he is to be given the nomination
for Governor two years hence. A
pretty scheme, but can he deliver the
goods? Moreover, can he make Tom
my bite?
Settle was wired to meet Holton in
Greensboro for consultation, but If he
was there Tommy kept himself so
close that outsiders did not see him,
says the Record.

Macdonald felt this keenly.

him the prop of his throne-to outweigh

to the rank of Colonel. Engaged in almost
every battle in the Low Countries, he was
appointed to lead the van of the army at
the North; and in the Winter campaign of
1894, performed one of those deeds of
daring for which he was afterwards so
distinguished The batteries of Nine
guen swept the river WAL so that it was
deemed impossible to cross it with any
considera bic force, yet Macdonald led his
column over the smooth ice and through
the storm of lead that devoured his ranks
and routed the enemy. For this gallant
deed he was made General of Brigade.
In 1896, at Cologne and Dusseldorf, he
commanded the army, and soon after
was sent by the Convention into Italy
After the conquest of the Papal States,
in 1898, he was made Governor of Rome.
In his new capacity, he exhibited other

He could scarcely have been placed in a
more trying position than the one he
occupied as Governor of the Eternal City.

it-kept the population in a perpetual
