HOME FOR NEEDY WOMEN.
Story OF What it Has Accomplished During

The Home for Needy Confederate Wo-
men, located at No. 1925 Grove Avenue,

Its record is a splendid work. This is
the report of its officers just prepared:
The Home for Needy Confederate Wo-
/ men for the State of Virginia is now
I one year old, and a short history OF the
movement to establish the Home and a
report of the years work, we think, will
be of interest. The movement was be-
gun in 1897. A charter was granted by
the State and two bazaars We're held and
the proceeds placed in bank Ito be used
for the benefit of such a Home when es-
tablshed. In 1899 an appropriation OF
one thousand dollars was made by the
State to be used in the purchase of a
home. In 1900 "a piece of property cost
ing seventy-five hundred dollars was
bought, and on October is. 1901 the Home
was thrown open to the public Cover

THE TOBACCO SITUATION.
President Duke Begins TO Cut Prices aud
Will Tire Enplishmen Out.

The situation in England as regards
the tobacco trade has undergone some
what of a change since the receipt of
letters about. two weeks ago. The Amer
can Tobacco Company is beginning to
cut prices on their goods, and though
the ErSlishmen declare that it is all an
American bluff it is feared here that
it will prove one which will have the de-
sired result. Si
This is the latest phase in the Eng
iish situation. Mr.. Duke has tried, but
Vainly, to buy up English firms. In some
cases he Offered enormous sums but was
repulsed. Now he will get at the matter
1n another and more effective way. IN
formation is being received here that
the brands Of the American Tobacco Com
pany are. having large sales throughout
the United Kingdom, especially London,
Liverpool and other central points. The
cause for this is apparent. Prices have
been cut on the American goods. and
consumers arc disDoseG TO get the hest
possible results for the least money.
Sweet Caporal, Richmond Gems, Rich
mond Straight Cuts, Dukes Cameo and
others are selling now for prices con-
Eidcrably below the usual rate. To
keep up with this move the Englishman
will have to get into the cutting game
also. After two or three years a point
will be reached when his profits will be
low indeed. and he will find that his
income is not sufficient to warrant the
business. Then the American; Company
sill step in and politely relieve him of his
difficulties by gobbiing him UP.
+. What is regarded as the first move in
an attempt to capture a big portion of
the Irish trade is also announced in the
letters Just received. The hicssrs. Ogden
OF Liverpool, recently bought out by the
American. Tobacco Company, are neso-
hating for. the purchase of the Falls Road
flour mills. 1t is believed that the mills
will be converted into a tobacco manu-
factory.
Mr. CT. HILL for twenty-five years
connected with the Allen & Ginter branch
of the American Tobacco Company, in
this city. has been promoted to d more
responsible position. He left yesterday
for New York to embark for. Liverpool,
England. where his position carries him
until January list next.
Mr. George Swain. Of Swain e Wylie,
tohacconssts of Danville, Va. was in the
city Friday.
