One of Sanford's LoyeheSt Wives Passes
Away-The Community Saddened.
Sanford, Y. c., Sept. | iI-(Special. y
A feeling of great sadness ran through
the entire community Sunday morning
when it became known that Mrs. Lily
Stroud Darlington, wife of Mr.. Roscoe
&c. Carrington had passed away early
that morning. 1t had been known that
she had been seriously i'll since Thurs
day night, but her loved ones had hoped
against hope that she would rally, and
the night before her death had believed
that she was much better The blow
came with great suddenness to a large
circle of friends, for all of our people
knew and loved her.
Mrs. Darlington was the daughter Of
Mr.. Thos. ]. Stroud, of this place, and
stroud, of Greensboro, and Mr.. Ed. and
Miss Mamie Stroudy-of Sanford. She
took an active part in church work, and
was always Il friend to the distressed.
Lily Belle Stroud was born twenty
four years ago, and was married a little
over a year since to Roscoe E. Caring
ton, of Michigan who has for years been
identified with the quarry industry here.
The funeral will be held at the Baptist
church this afternoon and the remains
buried beside those of her mother in
Buffalo church cemetery
The heartfelt sympathy of the entire
community go out to the stricken hus-
band and family.

BIG TOBACCO SHIPMENTS
WINSTON WAREH0USEMEN SAY YEARS
BUSINESS WILL BREAK RECORD
immense Sale of Stamps. Biggest Plug Fac
tory in the World. Mt. Airy officers
Still in Jail.

Winston-Salem. n. c., Sept 11.-(Spe-
cial THE tobacco manufacturers here
are doing a good business, as is proven
by the large stamp sales. Usually this
is a duh season for tobacco shipments,
but this year is an exception. The
warehousemen are predicting that Win
ston will sell more leaf next year than
any year since the market was estab-
lished. Reports are coming in that this
years crop is looking fine and is curing
well. There will be several new buyers
on the market, among the largest being
Messrs. j. S. Cobb, formerly of Green's
boro, and Mr.. l.. u. Curren, formerly of
Oxford. Besides buying ON their own
hook" they viii represent the Con-
tlnental Tobacco Company in the pur-
chase of wrappers.
When completed the new tobacco fac
tory of the II. J. Reynolds Tobacco
Company will be the largest building Of
the kind in the South. The president
hopes to have it under roof by the first
of next year.
William and John Belton, Captain and
Sergeant of the Mt Airy military com
pany, who recently got into trouble by
attempting to arrest civilian, whom
they charged with interfering with the
company while out on parade, are still
in Jail ~at Dobson awaiting trial at the
next term of Surry court. The two Off
GERS appeared before Judge Shaw few
days ago ON a writ of 'habeaS corpus,
and he reduced their bonds from 5000 to
5000, but they failed to give the latter
amount.
1t is intimated that Col. Thasher,
chief revenue officer for North Carolina
and South Carolina will soon resign,
and that he will be succeeded by Mr..
A. G. Patterson, who recently returned
from the west. The latter was leader
of the force that recently made sue
cessful raid on the Smith settlement
in Stokes county.
Col. Martin, chief clerk in District At
torney HoltOn's office, tells me that
there will be IS or so new criminal cases
for trial at the next term of the Federal
court at Greensboro. Most of these are
against blockaders, There are quite a
number of old criminal and civil cases ON
the docket.
