Estimating that the supply of water
is consumed at points which average
100 feet above the we'll, it appears
that three foruths of the power is
used to raise the water rs feet to Pub

TIE A AND M COLLEGE FULL.
And Has Turned Away More Than All tho
Other Colleges Together.

There are now 315 students at the A.
and Nj College. Since the opening OF the
institution 81 others have been there,
but have been turned away for lack of
room or sent away for lack of prepare
tion necessary to pass the entrance ex-
animation. In fact it is said that
the number of students rejected by
the A. and M. College this year for want
of preparation is greater than the num-
Der turned away from all the other col
lcges of the State put together.
President Winston telephoned last
night that all the dolmitory room was
now occupied and it is desired that no
other students come unless they first
write to ascertain whether they can SCI
cure accommodations. Many who have
recently come without taking this pre-
caution have had to return home. Note

cies occur. some of them will be ac-

The college is now down to regular
work and the prospects are for one OF

THE TRUST LATEST
to Make Deal to Pre-
vent Competitor
Mr.. Duke, Mr.. Full AMI Mr.. W.lk.r sre aid
10 be in Europe 10 Make Deal VITA
Leading Exporters

Mr.. Duke, of the American Tobacco
Company, is now in Europe. 1t was re-
ported yesterday that he had telegraphed
for Mr. w. w Fuller, attorney OF the
company, and Mr.. Walker, private man
ager. 1t is suggested that, instead of
going to Europe on a pleasure trip Mr..
Duke has gone to close deal with lead
ing tobacco exporters in Great Britain.
The export trade is the only competition
now that prevents a perfect monopoly of
most grades of tobacco by the American
Tobacco Company. If the Trust can COM
bine with the exporters, they have the
tobacco farmers completely at their
mercy.
This report has caused quite furry
in the tobacco markets of the State. If
it goes through, and the Trust rids itself
of the competition of the exporters, 1T
can shut up the tobacco warehouses and
say to the farmers: You can take os
much for your tobacco and if the farm
ers decline, then there will be no other
purchaser
A few years ago Capt e. j. Parrish was
sent by the American Tobacco Company
to Japan to effect deal whereby the
competition from Japan could be cut off,
as well as to sell the product OF the Trust.
He has been largely successful. IL Mr..
Duke and Mr. Fuller can effect deal
with the largest European exporters OF
tobacco so as to put an end to competition,
then the tobacco farmers are in deep
hole.

IT WAS A BLOW AT SOCIETY.

Against the Anarchists.

Especial to News and Observcr)
Winston Salem, N. c. Sept. 14.-Supe-
rior court adjourned this morning until
Monday as Il mark of respect upon the
death of President Mckinley. At mass
meeting of the bench, bar and citizens
held this afternoon, a beautiful memorial
was presented and adopted. In 1t appears
these words:
civilian Mckinley, as President of
the United States, was on the 9Th day
of the present month assassinated and
given mortal wound by an enemy of
law, an enemy of order and an enemy of
all government. 1t was not tho act of
ordinary murder but it was a blow
of the destructive teachings of organized
force, determined to overthrow establish
ed government and TO replace the same
with disorder and anarchy. These being
the facts, we'll understood by the law
abiding liberty loving American people,
IL is the sense of this meeting that the
Congress of the United States and the
legislatures of the various and respec-
tive States, should at the earliest practi-
cable moment enact such laws as will
effectnallv prevent the occurrence ot
such dastardly acts and will make it for
ever hereafter impossible for persons
holding and promulgating the dangerous
doctrines OF anarchy to find a habitation
anywhere within the bounds of our be-
loved republic"
