OUR SOLDIER BOYS,

A Committee Will Interview BUSINESS
Slen on the subject Today -Liber.
nj Subscriptions Hoped for-As TO
tho banquet.

a committee will start out to-day to
solicit subscriptions to the fund to bring
home the Norfolk soldiers from Savan-
nah next week. 1t is understood that
about one-fourth of this fund has been
subscribed and about $1,000 is needed to
make the venture success. The special
train of five or six coaches will cost in
the neighborhood of $1,000.
No active work toward the carrying
out of the suggestion to bring home the
soldiers has been done heretofore, and
so there was no spontaneous action on
the part of the business men and citi-
zens towards raising the fund. the VEN
ture was all but given UP until the com
mittec: of which Captain w. w. Dcy is
chairman took the matter up and re-
vived it, 1t is believed that n little can
wasting will bring the venture to sue

The reasons, sentimental. patriotic

on Norfolks part should be carried Qua
are too readily apparent To need eNpli-
cation here. it is claimed Outside OF
doing patriotic service the merchants
who subscribe to this fund will he more

The Low Price of Tobacco.

Mr.. r. w. Reams, of Alton, Warren
county, who is in the city TO attend the
Tobacco Growers Convention, lived in
Vance county just before the tobacco
trust was organized, and he tells us
that he got 43 cents pound for two
barns at the pack house door. selling
it to Harris, Gooch. & Co.'S warehouse
at Henderson. His whole crop aver
aged all of % cents per hundred. Now
he says that the same grade Of tobac
60 which he sold for 43 cents would not
average over - cents and the entire
crop if sold today, would average eight
or nine cents per pound.
while Tobacco has thus gone down.
said Mr.. Reams, ''tobaco land has depe-
ciated in value even more on strict fine
tobacco lands, no other crop can be
grown profitably, and now that tobacco
has gone down there is little demand
for tobacco land even at the deprecated
prices at which it is offered.

win prevent the attack. 1t is used in
