WAR ON CAROLINA BRIGHTs.

WAR ON CAROLINA BRIGHTs.
Louisville, KY, Weed.
We imagine the Western jobbers are
inclined to feel a little sore over the fact
that the American Tobacco Company is
Offering iobbers their new American
Beauty cigarettes in North Carolina
and other Southern States at -S1.50 a
thousand, and have said nothing to them
about this good thing. The trust is
selling these goods, which are put up in
packages of twenties and retail at
cents, at the same price as they pay
revenue to Uncle Sam for making them
One would be inclined to think if he
were not on to trust ways that this COM
pany was doing business for its health,
as on the face of this deal there can be
nothing in it to the American Tobacco
Company but thereby hangs a tale. This
company has a competitor that has made
things pretty lively for them in the
Southern trade, but as yet, with the ex-
ception of few large cities in the West
has not bothered the trust much out this
way, so one can easily see why the South
ern iobbers are giving these cigarettes
at $3.50 per thousand and the Western
jobbers are not asked to buy them.
This is according to the usual program
of the tobacco trust, for little inyestl-
cation will show that the same quota
lions on their goods are not given in any
two sections; a jobber in New Albany is
very likely to pay less for his goods than
a iobber in Louisville or vice versa, it
all depending on what kind of a scheme
4ho tobacco trI1St is working and what
competitor they are trying to get out of
the way.
The Wells Whitehead Tobacco Company
of Wilson, n. c., manufacturers of Car
DINA Brights" cigarettes, have been
giving the trade very excellent article
and more than any other company outside
the trust, has given that company an
argument in the trade, and that the
trust has to give away goods to cripple
this independent company, is the strong
er evidence of their having met with sue
cess in the trade and of the quality of
their goods. II the Southern jobbers bite
at this little bait of the trust, push an
unknown goods when they know it is
only done to crowd out competition. we
will think they are much larger fools
than we credit them as being, and we
are not one who believes they will aid
the trust in this effort. We are glad to
see the Southern press is giving the
of Carolina Brights" able
assistance in their struggle against the
trust, and we believe that this last effort.
like others going before it, will fail of its
purpose; to run out all competition in the
cigarette manufacturing line.

THE TEXAS COTTON CROP.

The Houston (Texas) Post contains
letters from every cotton county in the
state as the basis for its predlctlon
that there will be an increase in the
acreage to be put in but it says the
nalnting is late, there will have TO De
much replanting there is poor STAND
of the cotton already up, and the Doll
weevil is already in evidence. Prefac-
ING it's summary by counties the Pos
says:
"The planting season as a whole has
been unsatisfactory and the crop is
now three weeks late. The weather
has improved latterly and farmers are
renorted lFgenerally as rushing their
work of planting and replanting, z
oraat deal of the latter having been
rendered necessary by the long droutn
and the cold, rainy spell which followed
ova,. a greater part of the cotton belt.
As a rule the correspondents state that
there will be an increase in the acre
age overs last year, but as the farme-s
IN MANY of the largest producing coun-
ties in the State have not yet definitely
determined as to Just how much lanu
they will plant and as there is
scarcity of seed in many counties for
replanting, it is not possible to now re-
duce this increase to figures; as an
estimate based on unsatisfactory re-
ports. would be unsatisfactory, no at
tempt is made to place the proposed
increase at any certain amount; how
ever, to judge from the reports of what
is proposed in the matter of acreage,
it would appear that the proposed in
crease is a large one-for Texas-and
that even the scarcity of seed and the
lateness of the season will not deter
the planters from attempting to raise
a larger crop than they did last year.

Special to News and Observer


Louisburg, N. c., April 27.-Now that
the tobacco is about all sold the tobacco
men and merchants are having some rest
after having had one of the biggest years
in their history as a tobacco market and
the merchants all seem in the best of
spirits and are planning for further up
building of their thrifty town.
Mr.. G. w Ford is building a mann
moth two-story brick building, 100x170
feet. so arranged as to have six large
and one small store on the bottom floor,
and the entire second story floor will be
used as a warehouse for sale of leaf to-
bacco, giving Louisburg one of the largest
warehouses in the State and making six
splendid warehouses in this town.
Another new enterprise for the town is
a cotton and oil mill which viii be built
and ready for the coming season.
Messrs. J. NJ. and w. H. Allen and G. w.
Ford are the promoters. and this trio
does not know any such word as failure.
The Farmers and Merchants Bank
has lust installed new Mosler safe.
This bank has the fullest confidence OF
the business world, and well it may, for
if there are two men more attentive to
business and faithful as officers than VIM.
Bailey president, and w. j. Byerly,
cashier, they are certainly not associated
in any one bank.

praises make one feel proud TO repre-
sent a paper calling forth such praise
unsolicited from the best citizenship Of
our State. One of the best men in the
county said: Certainly want to renew
my subscription. Fswould pay 5000 a
year rather than do without it"
Many said II can't see why every
Democrat in the State does not take it"
and lots more are thinking the same in
every county in the State.

We hear a great deal of talk nova
days about respectable Republican
party in the South. Every once and
awhile some hitherto respectable
white man is given a Federal office as
the price of his desertion of his people,
and then those who are bidding for
the same sort of recognition at the
hands Of Hanna and Mckinley set up
great cry Of admiration for the indie
pendence of the fellow who has sold
himself But we are glad to believe
it will take q long time to make the
Republican party respectable in the
South by the distribution of gratuitieS
to renegade Democrats.

Senator Simmons did not go to Charlotte
to hear Senator McLaurin preach Repub-

We believe the Attorney General will
soon begin the job of seeing how the anti

Reading Aloud Ia Beneficial.

Reading aloud is recommended by
physicians as benefit to persons at
fected with any chest complaint. The
recommendation is made because in all
cases of lung trouble it is important
for the sufferer to indulge in exercise
by which the chest is in part filed by
and emptled of air, for the exercise is
strengthening to the throat, lungs and
muscles Of the chest Reading aloud
can be practiced by all and besides
being curative act can be pleasure
and profit to both reader and hearers.
In this treatment it is recommended
that an overdose of medicine be avoid
ed that the reading be deliberate, with
out being allowed to drag. that the
enunciaslon be clear, the body be held
in an easy, unstrained, upright posi-
ton, SO that the chest shall have free
play, and that the breathing be natural
and as deep as possible, without undue
effort.

On some of the foreign steamship
lines the captains are naval officers,
and, in case of war, would retain their
commands On the German steamers the
officers must first serve year or so
in the naval reserve. On the French
line each member of the crew must
serve time on vessel of war. On the
majority of ships however, the officers
are men of the sea, who have fought
their way up, step by step, entirely by
merit, and not at all by favor On the
American line, even after a man has
reached the rank of captain, he must
pass rigid examination every Ave
years.-Collier's Weekly.

BOUGHT FOR 100000,
Interesting History OF Senator Clarks'
Great Copper Mine.

Great Copper Mine.
Like all rich mines, the United
Verde. the greatest copper mine in the
world and which is owned by Senator
w. A. Clark OF Montana, has an in
terestlng history. Clark bought the
mine which now earns $12 100000 q
year profits. from two women for
5000 900. This was the way 1t came
about. Two ranchers in the Verde
valley located the property. They sold
out for $4,000 to William Murray and
former Gov. Trittle of Arizona. One
of the ranchers promptly proceeded to
drink himself into delirium tremens
with his share of the money. Murray
and Trittle induced two New York
women of Independent fortune to back
them to the extent of 5000, 900 in the
development OF the mine. This money
was nearly all spent and the prospects
were blue when the miners struck a
pocket of silver ore that paid $4,000.
Murray died and Trlttle failed to get
any more profit out of the mine. 1t
was abandoned for several years,

from Montana looking for mining
property. They saw the Verde, liked
it, went to New York, found the wom-
en- only too glad to sell their stock for
its face value and got possession.
Clark proceeded to develop the mine
scientifically and soon found that he
was right on the ore chute, as min
ers say. Then he built hundred-ton
smelter and set about taking out the
ore that has made him the copper
king of the world. There are about
5000 shares of stock in the mining
company and Senator Clark owns them
all.
