MARTIN A TOBACCO CENTRE.
Mr.. q W Stubs Says the People of the County
Are More Prosperous Than Ever

Williamson will be one Of the lead
ing tobacco markets of the State.' said
Mr.. H. w. Stubs, who has been in the
city for several days with the Legislative
Examining Committees
THE finest tobacco in the State is
grown in Martin county, Mr.. Stubs said,
land nearly every farmer in the county
is engaged in the culture of the weed.
The result is with the splendid prices
that have prevailed and the farmers Of
our county are more prosperous than
l have ever known them before There
is more ready money among the farming
classes in Martin than I have ever known.
In WILLIAMSON two tobacco ware
houses, two prize houses and one stem
merry are now in course of construc-
tion. The town has made wonderful ad-
vanccs since the cultivation of tobacco
began in our section three years ago.
Many people have come to WILLIAMSON
which is growing rapidly, and next year
il will be one of the first tobacco mar
kets in the State. The little town of
Robbinsville, only fifteen miles distant,
will sell two and a half million pounds
Of tobacco this year. The PEOPLE of Mar
tin were never so prosperous as now"

favored the acquisition of territory
which could be carved into States with
American citizenship, but opposed any
colonial system.
Mr.. Robertson (La) a member OF the
Ways and Means Committee, said he
would vote for the bill. The failure of
this bill, he said, would in effect mean
free trade with the islands and he was
opposed to bringing the sugar and rice
planters Of Louisiana into free COMPETE
ton with the sugar and rice producers
of the Philippines. This bill would be a
notice to the PHILIPPINE people that they
could never hope for equal rights with
the American citizen, and must prepare

that fire trade with the Philippines and
reciprocity with Cuba, which was now
threatening would annihilate thes sugar

THE FIRST BREATH
Of WINTER HERE
Mercury Dropped to "A Mon
day Morning.
CONTINUED COLD TODAY
The Record For Month of December
Was 9 in 1899.
TIE COLD WAVE HAS MODERATED
II Was Colder in Raleigh Yesterday Than in
New York or Baltimore. The Records
For Icy Wea,hr in The
Raleigh Office.

The first genuine cold spell Of the win
ter was experienced Sunday and yester-
day.
The cold blast from the west reached
here Sunday morning and it was most
severe Monday morning, the temperature
dropping to IA.
In only one year in all the previous
history of the Weather Department, in
than that for the month of December.
This was on December 31st, 1899, when
the mercury registered 8. In 1898, De-
cember 18th, the temperature equalled
that of Monday, IA above zero.
The coolest spell on record at the
weather bureau was in 1899, February
End, when the temperature went two be-
low zero. This was the coolest weather
that the people of the present day in
Raleigh ever experienced.
Continued cold weather is predicted to-
day and while there is no prospect for a
break in the wintry blast it is thought
1t was at its worst Monday morning. The
people had been notified of the approach
Of the cold wave and they were prepared
for it. Consequently the plumbers did
comparatively little business.
Raleigh and Charlotte were the coolest
points in the State Monday, the mercury
registering IA in both places. AT Will
mington the temperature was only %, and
at Hatteras it was %. 1t was colder in
Raleigh than at either Baltimore. Phil
adelphia or New York, where Is was
the minimum temperature.
The weather forecast issued yesterday
said The cold wave has advanced south
eastward with considerable force and
raDidity. 1t has reached northern Florida
temperature at Jacksonville 81 degrees).
but has not penetrated the central part
of that State. The lowest temperature
reported on the Gulf coast this morning
is Is degrees at Mobile. The minimum
reached at Raleigh was 1913 degrees. The
cold wave has moderated materially in
the central valley and northwest and
only few points in the North, namely,
Huron, ST. Paul, Marquette. Cleveland,
and Cincinnati report temperatures
few degrees below zero. slight dis
trrbance is causing snow in the upper
Mississippi and Missouri valleys. Cloudy
weather persists along South Atlantic
coast.

THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
COMPLETE. EXAMINATION
Fine Shape and Complimented
Both Officers

The Legislative Examining Committee
yesterday completed the investigation of
the accounts and books in the offices of
State Treasurer Lacy and State Auditor
Dixon as directed by law.
The committee put down in writing
their approval of the accounts, the
records in both offices and took occasion
to compliment the manner in which both
offices have been conducted. 1t was a
deserved recognition of the competent
and able forces in both offices, not even
the semblance of an error being de-
tected.
The investigation of the Treasurer's
office was completed last week, and the
written approval and commentator was
placed on record yesterday. The commit
tee congratulated Chief Clerk Moody of
the treasury's office, and Chief Clerk
Hudson, of the Auditors office, upon the
splendid condition of the books in both
the offices. They are popular and COM
petent young men, and it is safe to say
that the books of the two offices We're
never in better hands. Messrs. Lacy and
Dixon are to be complimented upon hay
ing such excellent clerical forces.
The report of the committee recorded
in the auditors office is as follows:
We, the undersigned committee, ap-
pointed by the General Assembly of 1901,
have carefully examined the entries in
this book from December, 1900 to Novem-
ber 1901, inclusive, and find them to be
correct. We have compared the entries
of said months in this book under the
head of Receipts" with the receipts of
the Treasurer's office and find them to
correspond. We have also compared all
vouchers with the entries in this book
and find the entries correct. The books
are both neatly and correctly kept.

College is to be a memorial to the late

philanthropist of Raleigh, who passed to

cent grounds on which the college is loca-
ted.
The college and State authorities, who

new chapel should be erected as me-
mortal to the late Mr.. Pullen.
And this is the opportunity of the peo-
pie of Raleigh to do something handsome
fo, the college. Least of all the board
of aldermen should in some way see to 1t
that the city has some fitting represen-
tation in the construction Of the handsome
CHAPEL building that is to ornament the
beautiful college. This would be only .

magnificent gift of Pullen park to the
city Surely no one feature of The city 5
life has given so much pleasure to all
the people as has this park.

what part of the college grounds the new
chapel and dormitory will be located.
This will be determined this week. the

ell of State, will be authorized this week.
Plans for the new buildings abe now

several thousand dollars on the debt of
the road, which is gradually being re-

be made on the five new engines that
we're ordered during President Pryan's
