The wise woman who goes forth to shop
these days does not miscalculate the daring

above reason she takes the precaution to
wear heavy rib pads, a stout elastic on her
hat, a strong check rein on her temper and
carefully trains her elbows to move like
piston-rods as an offensive and defensive
weapon. The woman of the future will
doubtless go a-purchasing armored like a
South African railway train or a college
foot ball player-that is, if bargain coun-
tiers continue to multiply at their present
rate of increase.
At the bargain counters of yore only
damaged goods, spotted gloves, dingy rib

THE PANAMAsCANALcCOMPANT

board of directors of the Panama Canal
Company, Thursday, President Hutin, who
recently returned here from the United
States and NJ. Choron, director of works,
resigned their offices. M. P. Forot and

the canal property to the United States

Our negotiator will be instructor 10
notify the American Government that We

which have been considered as the price
asked and which have been judged un-
acceptable. and we offer to take Is a
basis and point of departure the figures

TOBACCO MARKET HERE
A Prominent Tobacco Man to Open Aware,
house Here.

"a tobacco market for Raleigh GER
tain"
This is what prominent business nan
said yesterday and the explanation of his
remark shows that it was business and
not mere talk, that was at the bottom
of it.
Continuing, the gentleman said:
Il had as a visitor today one of the
most prominent tobacco men of the Stat.
He is not alone a tobacco man of oxper-
fence, but a successful tobacco man, one
who has the capital to back up what he
undertakes"
This gentleman proposes to rent one
of the tobacco warehouses here. He does
not ask a cent of aid from any one, but
CLly that the business organizations of
Raleigh and it's business men cooperate
TO the extent of working to bring the to-
be eco to this market. That's all, ard !ie
ought to get it, a thousand times over"
In this connection the expression of
1nany of the citizens of Raleigh made
during the week, after the publication by
this paper of it's full and complete tobacco
crop report. is worthy of consideration.
These gentlemen say that Raleigh must
have a market, that Wake and the adj
joining counties raise large crop Of the
weed and that Raleigh is the natural cen
tire for the crop raised. They say that
they will assist in establishing The
market here, and that they believe the
business men of Raleigh will see that
it is to their interest to do so likewise.
A paying market can be established
here. and it ought to be encouraged.
There should be little delay in the matter
but before the time for beginning the
planting of the crop a public announce
ment should be made that Raleigh will
have q market the coming season.
1t is time to act, for yearly a great
trade is slipping away from the Capital
City. A stranger says he will open a
warehouse. Our citizens should give MIN
every possible support.
