face is rendered unsightly by pimples,
blotches and eruptions, whose complexion

1t will probably be remembered that
about nine years ago the vast trade
combination known as the American To
bacco Company was formed. Its or
ganizers said it would not affect the
price of the raw material. and would IN
no wise hurt the tobacco raisers. 1t is
interesting in view of Developments to
know what did really happen. The trust
did not even have the decency to wait
to put their plans in operation. Six
months had not elapsed when all
grades took a tumble. and prices have
continued to go lower until it has be-
come 4 question whether it is worth
while to raise these grades at all.
In order to show the difference be-
tween prices before and after the for
NATION of the trust, | will give the
prices the buyers were instructed 10 pay.
/ saw recently two letters to one of the
buyers for company now in the trust,
dated respectively September 10, 1889.
and October 81. 1889. In these letters
the buyer was instructed to pay for the
best cutters grade 25c.; for the second
grade % cents, for the lowest 10 cents.
or course for some of the tobacco IN
grade one. the buyer paid from 30 to GO
cents, for the second, - to 40; for the
lowest. from 10 to % cents. These same
grades are now bringing for the first
about u cents, for the second about
10 cents. for the third about ) cents.
The argument in the dspensary case
comes up next week at Raleigh.

VETS had no attorney to plead their
cause.
At conclusion of Captain PEBBLES
argument Mr.. Newland presented the
following report signed by Mr.. Travis:
10 the board of directors of the
States Prison.
The committee appointed by you to
investigate the charges against Il. l..
Summerell for cruelty in the freezing Of
the hands and feet of certain convicts
beg leave to report:
That after taking all the evidence
they deemed pertinent, and all offered by
sald Summerell, the annexed resolution
was offered by Mr. w. C. Newland,
one of the committee. The vote ON
SAID resolution was IA tie, and the COM
mttee were unable to arrive at any de-
cision in the matter.
We therefore respectfully refer the
matter to your board, together with the
evidence taken by us for your consider
alton.
Accompanying the report was the fol-
lowing resolution by Mr.. Newland:
Whereas the committee appointed by
the full board to investigate charges Of
cruelty against E. l.. Summerell, super
visor of the Northampton farm, find as
a fact that the hands of VIII Richard
son and - Cowan and the feet
Of Andy Lavender were frozen at said
Northampton farm, while under the
supervision and care Of said Summerell.
BE it therefore resolved that the
said Il. l.. Summerell is guilty of such
carelessness and indifference as amount
cd to cruelty and we therefore recon-
mend his discharge
This was favored by Messrs. Travis,
Newand, Wellington and Young.
MesSrs. Thompson and Bryan thought
SummerelPs offense a grave one, and
the resolution, they contended, was too
mild. The other members of the board
thought it too strong
80 finally Mr.. Legrand, the most ac-
tive opponent of the above resolution,
presented the following substitute, which
lie vigorously championed and which
was finally adopted by a vote of II to
3:
Resolved that Lewis Summerell made
mistake in sending the convicts out
to work in such weather, which re-
suited in serious damage to the convicts
therein named, yet the same was unin
territorial.
The five directors who refused to be
come Il party to this white washing
were:

Mr. Travis would have made ths
sixth, but he had been compelled t
leave before the vote was taken Be
fore going however, he stated that hi
was in favor of the Newland resolution
or something like it.
The Republicans and Populists on tn,
board voted sohdly for Summerell ant
strongly favored the first substitute pre-
scented by Mr. Legrand, which com
