Major Guthrie To Organize q Twenty
Five Million Tobacco Company.
81 DURHAM, NJ c.. Feb. 24-Special-The
matter exciting most interest in Dur
ham the past few days has been the
suits and counter suits between A. j.
Roche, Of Cleveland. O., and John r.
Cochran, president of the North State
Lumber Company, chartered in Michl-
gan but doing business in North. Caro-
lima.
These cases began by the swearing out
of an attachment by a. ]. Roche against
John Cochran, who, while president Of
the company, said he owned nothing
in North Carolina, and the officer was
unable to find any effects, and so made
his return on the process. During the
progress Of the trials it came out shat
the Sunday edition of leading paper
of Detroit, Mich, had devoted over 4
column of its space in eEcoriation Of
said Cochran in such plain and viSor-
Gus language as to make it evident that
if the charges were true Cochran should
be in prison. and If false, that the paper
should be sued for criminal libel.
The reporter for Bradstreet was pres
ent during the trial, and intimated that
he would at once send a report to that
agency in !consonance with the facts
developed before the court, which were
not conducive to Mr. Cocllran's reputa-
ton in this section.
Maior w A Guthrie, attorney. and
late Populist candidate for Governor,
has given public and legal notice that
he is organizing a twenty-five million
dollar tobacco company, whose object
will be to compete with the American
Tobacco Company in the purchase and
sale of that commodity.
Work is soon TO commence on the big
cotton mill heretofore noted In The
Times. 1t will employ some fifteen hun
dred people.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 15.-L. b.
Lockard, of Toledo, supreme protector

Order of Chosen Friends, in an an inter
view today, said that the collapsed order
offered too many inducements in the way
of side issues in addition to death claims,
and that the company's rates of assess
ment were too low.
1.-The Chosen Friends" said Mr.. Lock-
ard, faced by the dilemma of large
claims and very low assessment rates,
adopted the very wrongful and unheard-
OF plan some time ago of simply cutting
the amount of insurance in two. This
drove out thousands of young people
and left in the order d lot OF old people
who could not get insurance elsewhere,
and whose rapid death rate added to
the orders embarrassment. The order
never could have weathered the gale.
When it failed it was a year and half
behind its indemnity claims"
Speaking in defense of fraternal as
sessment insurance companies, Mr.. Lock
ard said: "Of nearly SEQ old-line compa-
mics organized and doing 1%>iness in
the United States within the last half
century, all of them except about nifty

quence of the espionage of the enforce
ment league and the spying Of the detec-
tives, have in many cases surrendered
their liquor permits and declared them
selves against the prohibition law They
claim that the odium of the Illegal dis
pensation of liquor by a few unreliable
and irresponsible drug stores, with a q
penny drug stock, is shared equally by
the leading druggists of the state, and
at their last annual meeting they asked
the legislature to remove the sale of
liquor altogether from the druggists
There are two ways in which the law
can be changed. The constitutional pro-
vision can be amended only by a repeal
passing two sessions of the legislature
and then being adopted by vote of the
people at a general election. This would
take, at the least, four years, and it is
doubtful If the people would ratify the
repeal If 1t should pass the legislature.
The other method Is by statutory en-
actment repeating the penalty clause of
the prohibition law This would make
liquor selling crime, but would provide
no penalty for it, so that the prohibition
law would be null. This is the method
favored by the submissionists and is
the one which will result In lively
fight in the legislature, which convenes
