THE TOBACCO TRUST.
North Carolina Tobacco Growers
Will Fight 1t.
BACKED BY CAPITALISTS
Who Agree to Take the Entire
Crop at an Advance of Fifteen
Per Cent Over Old
Prices.

The tobacco growers Of North Care
lima met at Raleigh on Thursday in
State convention, for the purpose OF
formulating some definite and feasible
plan for fighting the American Tobacco
company.
After discussing the various plans
suggested, the convention Thursday
morning adopted a contract whereby
they are not to sell the American To
bacco company a pound Of their leaf
tobacco for the next FIVE years. The
contract in part is as follows:
"We agree to enter into contract
with J. F. Jordan and his associates
to sell to them our tobacco raised dur
ing the next FIVE gears at an advance Of
not Jess than Is per cent. over the
prices of the same grade of tobacco
during the last FIVE years, said price to
be fixed by commission, a majority
of whom shall represent the seller.
'We further agree to take stock with
said Jordan and his associates, cor
poration which shall be formed for the
purpose Of manipulating and disposing
of said tobacco. If we make default In
this agreement in any particular We
agree to forfeit to said corporation the
said stock so taken.
And we further recommend for our
mutual benefit that the farmers Of
North Carolina reduce their crop at
least 25 per cent below the past years
production. We invite the co-opera-
tion Of Virginia, South Carolina and
other sections which grow bright tobac-
co."
This is merely preliminary agree
ment between the convention and the
capitalists who are backing the fight
against the American Tobacco eompa-
ny. The contract will be submitted to
Individual farmers for approval. When
80 per cent of them have agreed to it
another State convention will be held.
The final contract then adopted will
also be referred back to the individual
farmer for his approval. If signed BY
80 per cent of them it will be binding
and become operative at once.
All the 80 principal tobacco growing
counties of the State were represented
by delegates in this convention and q
number of representatives were there
from Virginia.
An effort is being made to arrange .
joint convention of North Carolina and
Virginia tobacco men with view to
securing the cooperation Of all tobacco
growers in the two States.

a True Test.

One of Moody's fa7orite stories was
about converted miser to whom a
neishbor in distress appealed for help.
The miser decided to prove the genu-
iDeness of his conversion by giving
him ham. On his way to get it the
tempter whispered, Give him the
smallest one you have" A mental
struggle ensued, and finally the miser
took down the largest ham he had:
You are afool," the devil said, and
the farmer replied, IF you don't keep
still III give him every ham N the
smoke-housep"

Shaving Uu g Renegade.

The United States senate committee
on finance had under consideration
Thursday the nomination Of w.
D. Bynum to be general appraiser
of merchandise at New York. The
Democratic members Of the COM
mittce continued their opposition to
the nomination, contending that Mr..
Bynum is not Democrat and that his
nomination as such is an evasion Of the
law. After general exchange Of opin-
ion, it was decided that the Democrats
should have time to adduce proof Of
Mr. Bynum's Republi :anism.

While newspaper men and ministers
are exempt from jury duty, they are not
disqualified and may serve if drawn,
The commissioners Of Greenville put
the names Of ministers and newspaper
men in the box and some we're drawn
for jury duty. Supervisor Speegle
said that the commissioners put into
the box the names of preachers and
newspaper men because they wanted
good iuries and added that the intellect
and piety of the county were in the box.

John Sherman is left a
widower. He is childless. He
is the only one living of a large
family Of brothers, all of whom
were prominent and famous
in national affairs. His stu
alton is pathetic, not to say
very sorrowful. An old man,
broken by the labors and
storms Of state, finds himself
politically isolated, all of his
family that were near his own
age have gone; heis a blighted
oak, partial mental wreck;
querulous, as is natural, going

The Watauga Democrat, in
its write-up of the Aycock
speaking in Boone on Nav
18th, says Of our band:
"Some two hours before the
speaking the people enjoved
a rare treat in the way of in
spring and patriotic music
rendered by the Morganton
brass band. This itself SEEM
ed to arouse the enthusiasm
OF those present and prepar-
ed them fully for what was to
come. The band, in splendid
new uniforms, acquittedits
creditably indeed. ANY town

and Morganton is to be con-
graduated upon being able to
furnish such an one, composed
of nice, splendid gentlemen.

Twenty-Five Years Constant Use With
out a Failure.
The first indication Of Group is
-hoarseness, and in a child subject to
that disease it may be taken as a sure
sign of the approach Of an attack.
Following this hoarseness Is a peculiar

Remedy is given as DON as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears. it will prevent
the attack. 1t is used in many thous-
ands of homes in this broad land and
never disappoints the anxious mothers.

THE FOURTH OF JULY
How It Was Celebrated in Lingayen
 Island.

MT. and Mrs w. F. Fit6as have re- ceived another letter from their son
 Kurtz who is serving Tn the Philip pines with company G, of the Thirty sixth infantry. It is dated at Salasa, July s, and a portion of it will be in teresting to the public as descriptive of the first American Fourth of July celebration on the island of Linguyan. Fickas says:
 T have been very busy the last three IT onths and have not had the opportun ity to write as often as I should, but now I am back to my company and feeling very well. I was in Lingayan on the 4th where they celebrated, and had very good time there.
 Tn the morning there was parade headed by General Bell, who had just arrived from Dagupan, then came Col c1el Grove and the president of Linga- van, a native, then the band: the in fantry, ten guns, one of which l was on, then the mounted men, both big horses and ponies, then the pack train and packers, mounted on mules. then the quartermaster's employees natives). All had small flags pinned to the front of their shirts Then followed the na- tive band, hospital corps. and other civ iians. It was a very nice display. The president declared it a holiday, so the town was full of people. After the par ade Captain Steers read the declaration of independence and the rest of the day was devoted to all kinds of sports, rae ing. etc. The natives were the contestants and prizes were awarded them by the colonel. and they enjoyed it very much. At night there was a grand ball at headquarters for the up per classes of natives. officers and their wives. They all mixed up and the na tives were ticllled to death to think they were noticed. Altogether it was a day to be remembered by all who were there.
 The rainy season is here now but it has stopped for few days. l expect it will make up for lost time.
 I am sending you each a bull cart and some little trinkets in them. They are very small, but are just like those used by the natives here to do all their hauling. A water buffalo is the beast of burden and they handle them very well.
 We may move into Manila very soon. as General Bell is provost marshal now and it is said we will go in with him. It is very nice doing duty in there. It is too much dress parade to suit me. There is quite a riot in China now and the Twentieth infantry has been ord cred there, and probably the Ninth. There is a battalion of marines there now and they will need more before long, I think.

 her of deputies. which is the popular house of the legislature, nominate six nf their own member. three ballots are then given to every voter each with the name of two of these six; the pol ing place Is in the cathedral of San Marine. the capital os the country. The ballot box is placed on the high altar and after the ballots have be5n depOs- ited a child 1raws one at random from the urn. A priest then announces the names cn the tAllot and the persons thus named become the presidents of the republic.
 The terms of presidents vary from six months In San Marino and one year Tn Switzerland to seven years in France. Only one French president. however. has served his full seven years. and he was forced to resign in his second term. Three other French presidents were forced to resign and one was assassinated. In the Central and South American republics the term of the president is from four to six years. In several the same person cannot s5rve for two consecutive terms and in one. two full terms must inter vene before a president can be re-elec- led.
