OVER 5000, 900 POUNDS SHIPPED
That Much Grapes and Peaches Shipped From
Southern Pines.

That Much Grapes and Peaches Shipped From
Southern Pines.
DR.. Edwin Gladmon, superintend-
emit of the Southern Pines Santa
rum, who is visiting Raleigh, says
shat 5000, 900 pounds of fruit have
been shipped from Southern Pines
this season. This is mainly peaches
and grapes.
The truckers are giving up raising
all grapes except the Delawares and
only Elberta peaches arenow grown.
These thrive best and bring the most
money.
DIR. Gladmon says the industry of
growing grapes and peaches is in
oreasing about Southern Pines.
Large concerns with ample capital
are putting in vineyards and setting
out peach trees, and the outlook is
for a big increase in both in all that
sand-hill section.
The rainy seas0n this year ruined
some of the fruit, but in spite of that
loss, the shipment was large.-News

The American Company EndeavOring to
Secure Control Of the British Market.
LIVERPOOL, Sept. IA meeting
of the shareholders of the Ogdens
Limited, an important Birth to-
bsccO company, has been called for
September 20 to consider the offer
of the American Tobacco Company
to buy up all the shares, as the first
step towards acquiring control of the
British market. Ordinary shares of
the Ogden concern, which were
selling yesterday at 35 are selling to-
day at 46.
The Americans offer 825 ($125) for
preference shares, $50 for ordinary
shares and ELL los. for debenture
shares, STIMULATING that rs pei cent.
of each class must be purchaseable.
The directors of Ogdens Limited
recommended that the sale be made.
THE CONSOLIDATED COMPANY ENGI-
NEERING THE DEAL.
NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Regarding
reports from Liverpool that an offer
has been made by the American To-
bacco Company to purchase a con-
trolling interest in the Ogdens olga
rette Company, of Liverpool, it was
said in Wall Street to-day that nego-
tiations between representatives of
the Consolidated Tobacco Company
and the Ogden company had been
going on for some time. These negO-
tiations, it was stated, were but a
step in a movement which aims at
the control of the tobacco business
in Great Britain. The statement
was also made that the proposed 40.
quirement of the tobacco property
in Great Britain would be made by
the Consolidated Company, not by
the American or Continental Com
panies. The Consolidated Tobacco
Company was organized not long
ago by interests identified with the
above named companies, chiefly for
the purpose Of taking over the com
mon stocks of the American and
Continental Tobacco Companies.

ROOSEVELT TO THE CABINET,
Present Members Asked to Remain in Office
During His Entire Term.

Present Members Asked to Remain in Office
During His Entire Term.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-President
Roosevelt at 3 o'clock to -day con-
vened his first cabinet meeting held
in Washington. At this meeting
the President asked the members of
McKinley's cabinet to retain their
respective portfolios throughout
this term and announced that his
administration would follow the pol
icy outlined by President Mckinley
in his Buffalo speech.
The President desired to learn if
there were any matters of moment
requiring his attention before his
departure to night for Canton. He
was assured that there was nothing
of pressing Importance. The presi-
dent then addressed his advisors
collectively, as he had previously
done Individually, requesting them
all to retain their respective posi-
tiOns in the cabinet. Mr.. Roosevelt
expressed the hope and expectation
that every member would serve
throughout his term, for, he said,
he rendered the appointments as if
he had just been elected to the Pres
idency and was forming an original
cabinet. The president said, how
ever, there was one difference be-
tween the present tender and that
of an original offer, namely. Under
the present circumstances they were
not at liberty to decline.
The discussion turned upon the
polio of the administration, and
Mr.. Roosevelt announced that he
regarded the speeches of the late
president at Buffalo Pan-Ameri-
can exposition, the day previous to
the tragic shooting, as outlining the
policies to be followed by the ad-
ministration. It cannot be learned
at this time whether or not the
members will be willing to serve the
full term.

In 1872 Mike Hardy, a "colored"
man, purchased on Roanoke river
fifty acres of land. In 1880 he pur-
chased 24O acres, and in 1890, 375

mond Dispatch writing from Soot-
land Neck, Halifax county, writes of
him: "He was successful in his
farming operations and purchased
more land, until he is now the proud
owner of 800 broad acres, whose
value is something like $40, 900. The
owner has a good income, lives com-
fortably and is educating his chill
