At the age Of eighteen years he coms
menced the manufacture of tobacco on
"his own hook" Shortly before he
reached his majority January IA, 1869
he married Hiss Bette Allen, daughter
Of Nicholas W. Allen, Esq, of Person
county. He continued in the manufac-
turing business until his factory and
stock were burned in 1869.
He was the pioneer in the sale of leaf
tobacco at auction in Durham.
On May IS. 1871, he opened the first
warehouse here. This was small begin
ming, confined 10 one and two sale days q
week, and less than a million pounds the
first year. Each recurring year bis sales
increased until they sp: roximated six
million pounds per season with daily
sales-often extending into the night.
Mr.. Reams' first thought was to get
near the farmers. This he did very eff
fectuslly by looking closely to their every
interest, and having secured their con.
fdence and esteem, be was careful to re
tain the same, which be had no difficulty
in doing by strict adherence to his well
established rules Of energy, liherality and
honorable dealing. He never tired in his
efforts for the farmers welfare, and he
thus kept in close touch with them and

that relation has ever existed between
them.
The venture was 3 success from the
start, but not achieved without artiring

could only be accomplished by an earnest

Washington, ID. c., April 1.-THE
conforeCs upon the Hawaiian bill, who
have been in session all of today, are
progressing rapidly with it's considera-
llon. A further meeting will be held
Monday. at which time the bill will
be completed.
Senator Cullom was asked at the
the progress made.
You can say" he said, that we are
getting bill that will pass with but
little If any delay. | cannot go into
details but will say that we have agreed
upon every feature, and have harmon
lied the Senate and House bills, eX-
cepting in two particulars. One is the
prohibition clause and the other the
Federal judiciary.
THE House conferees want the pro-
hibition feature adhered to and as to
the judiciary there Is difference of
opinion whether to make Hawaii con

territorial district
There will be no delay on these
points and think we will have a good

Manila, July 9.-The past weeks
scouting in Luzon resulted in II Amer
leans being killed and 16 wounded. One
hundred and sixty Filipinos were killed
during the week; and eight Americans
who had been prisoners in the hands
of the rebels were surrendered, and a
hundred rifles were turned over to the
United States officials. The enemy
ambushed a wagon train between In

lost nine men while on an expedition
to punish the Ladrones in the delta of

ince of Panay running fight of three
hours duration resulted in the killing
or wounding of 20 of the enemy. There
were no casualties among the Amer
leans. The insurgents are slowly ac-
cepting the amnesty provisions. In
some instances the Americans are sus

rebels an opportunity to take advan-
tage of the decree.

NOTE TO THE POWERS.
tn 1t Our Attitude Towards China Il
Defined-Text of the Important
Document.

Washington, July II. - The state
department. has finally concluded to
make public the Identical note which
was recently delivered to the powers as
defining the position of the United
States respecting the Chinese troubles.
The circular which was sent to our
foreign representatives is as follows:
Department of State. Washington. July
3. 1900-In this critical posture OF affairs
in China it Is deemed appropriate to de-
fine the attitude of the United States as
far as present circumstances permit this
to be done. We adhere to the policy
initiated by us in 1857, of peace with the
Chinese nation, of furtherance of lawful
commerce, and of protection of lives and
property of our citizens by all means
guaranteed under xtra-territorial treaty
rights and by the law of nations. If
wrong be done to our citizens, we pro-
pose to hold the responsible authors to
the uttermost accountability. We regard
the condition at Picking as one of virtual
anarchy, whereby power and RESPONSE
bility is practically devolved upon the
local provincial authorities So long as
they are not in overt collision with rebel
lion and use their power to protect for
eiSn life and property, we regard them
as representing the Chinese people with
whom we seek to remain in peace and
friendship. The purpose of the president
is, as it has been heretofore, to act con-
currently with the other powers, first in
opening up communication with Picking,
and rescuing the American officials, mis-
sionaries and other Americans who are
in danger: secondly, in affording all pos
sible protection everywhere in China to
American life and property: thirdly, in
guarding and protecting all legitimate
American interests: and fourthly, in aid
ing to prevent spread of the disorders
to the other provinces of the empire and
recurrence of such disasters. 1t is, of
course, too early to forecast the means
of attaining this last result, but the pol
icy of the government OF the United
States is to seek a solution which may
bring about permanent safety and peace
to China, preserve Chinese territorial and
administrative entity, protect all rights
guaranteed to friendly powers by treaty
and international law, and safeguard for
the world the principle of equal and i'm
partial trade with all parts of the Chi
nese empire.
You will communicate the purport OF
this instruction to the minister of foreign
affairs. HAY"

the increase was about $4,000, 900
over the previous year. The fact that
