100000 TO RALEIGH
What the Tobacco Market
Would Do.
A Conservative Estimate Of The Money The Two
Warehouses Would Put in Circulation
The First Year.

| 1t is conservatively estimated that at
| least three million pounds of tobacco will
be produced this year in radius of
twenty miles around Raleigh. and per-
| haps Il half million pounds more, if the
| Raleigh market is re-opened. 1t is GER
tainly conservative to estimate that one
| half of this, or one million and a half
pounds can be sold on our two ware
house floors the first year, as it is far
more convenient for the farmers in this
| territory, naturally tributary to Raj
eiGh to market their tobacco here than
to haul it two or three times as far to
sell it on other and distant markets. The
million and half pounds of tobacco
thus sold here the opening year would
amount to s150,000 in round numbers
the larger part of which (say s1O0OOO)
would be turned loose in the city among
our merchants, and as the market grows,
as it ought to grow from year to year, at
least two millions of dollars from to-
baceo alone will find their way into the
| arteries of circulation and trade in our
city within the next ten years, and so on
indefinitely.
Now as to the proposition submitted
others, who offer to re-open our tobacco
market, lease and operate both ware
houses and distribute free tobacco seeds
| among our farmers, provided our citi-
zens will simply take stock in local
company (subject to entire control by
the subscribers to the amount of $4,000
($1, 900 of which amount, one of the Ok
ford gentlemen has himself subscribed)
to encourage and promote the re-estab
fishing of the tobacco market
with it's vital benefits to the future bust
ness interests of our city. And
shall this reasonable and business-like
proposition be accepted or re-
jected? If you wish to accept it and see
Raleigh prosper and move forward. you
must say so with your subscriptions
when those clever gentlemen of the So
| Letting committee Messrs. G. B. Barbee,
Aft Thompson, Frank Stronach. Geo. E.
Hunter, Frank Ward and Fred Mailer
call on you.
These gentlemen have no connection
with the tobacco business in any way
but have very much at heart the neces-
city for action and the welfare of Raj
eigh's future. and although among the
busiest men in town, they see the situa-
tion as all must see 1t, and are giving
their valuable time and earnest efforts
to provide a way and the means of re-
opening our tobacco market.
Property owners as you expect to rent
your store, houses and residences and
maintain your income from these
sources you cannot afford to passvely
ignore this matter. Raleigh is the best
town in the State. but what we need
most just now is cooperation and to-
bacco market Meet the committee cor
daily and thank them for coming. Do
what you can afford to do and the result
will be success, and many other good
things will follow the establishment
Of the Raleigh Tobacco market in the near
future.

RETAINING CONTROL
OF TIE PHILIPPINES.
Continued from page u

a bill a legislative promise-vague, I'M
certain and perhaps impossible of full
fillment, raising vain hopes and doing TO
good Mr.. Lodge was followed by Mr..
Rawlins.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Rawlins'
speech, Mr.. Bacon, of Georgia, referred
to colloquy between himself and Mr..
,, Lodge concerning an order of the Secre-
tary of War TO permit ships under for
eign flags to enter the trade between the
United States and the Philippines after
the decisions of the Supreme Court that
the islands were domestic territory.
Mr.. Lodge, said Mr.. Bacon, had referr-
in issuing an order which clearly was
directing a violation Of the law. No ext
gency of trade was, in his opinion, suf-
ficient reason for such violation of the
law.
In answer to an inquiry from Mr..
Mitchell, Mr.. Bacon relied that if he had
been the Secretary of War he would not
have issued such an order because he
could conceive of no emergency which
would warrant him in violating the law.
In general discussion of the pending
bill, Mr.. Bacon protested against what
he considered the hot haste" in press
ing the measure and against what he as
serted was an effort to withhold from the
Senate information relating to the Phil
ippines.
Mr.. Stewart, Nevada, took issue with
Mr.. Bacons argument that an executive
officer could not set aside a law for the
public good as being in contravention of
the history and Jurisprudence of Eng
land and America. He asstered that the
rule had existed for centuries that stat
utory law must yield to great emeIAen-
cies. ....
After an executive session the Senate
adjourned.

ON CHINESE IMMIGRATION.
A hearing Given by tho Senate Committee to
am Various Interests.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington. Jan. 21-The Senate Com
mittee on immigration. gave hearing
today to representatives of various in
terests upon the question OF Chinese I'M
migration Among those present were
D. S. Tompkins, of the Industrial Com
mission; Silas B. Webb, President of the
China and Japan Trading Company, New
York; Hon. Charles S. Hamlin, Boston
Chamber of Commerce; Samuel Gompers,
Hon. John w. Foster, S. c. Mead, AS
sistant Secretary Merchants Association,
New York; Theophilus Parsons of the
Arkwright Club, Boston; Edward j.
Livernash. San Francisco; John Foard,
of the Asiatic Association; H. r. Fuller,
representing the railroad employees of the
United States, and number of repre-
sentatives of Southern industries. Mr..
Gompers. the first speaker, outlined the
efforts which the Federation of Labor had
made in connection with the Pacific Coast
delegation in Congress to perfect a bill
which would secure a continuance of Chi
neSe exclusion and this had been accom-
plished in what is known as the Mitchell
Bill
Mr. Foard spoke in opposition to the
between China and the United States. He
urged a postponement of any action by
Congress looking to Chinese exclusion
until the expiration OF the present treaty
in 1904. I'VE are all interested in being
on good terms with China" he said, land
should treat her with some degree of
consideration and some decent regard for
international facts
He said that the Chinese student, Chi
nese traveller and Chinese merchant have
been unfairly dealt with.
Mr. Hamlin presented resolutions OF
the Boston Chamber of Commerce, adyo-
eating the Proctor Bill, continuing in
force the present Chinese exclusion law
until the expiration of the existing treaty
with China in 1904, and urged that no bin
be adopted inconsistent with that treaty
because, he said that treaty involves
the honor and faith of the United States
Government"
Speaking for the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company Maxwell Evarts declared
that the Mitchell Bill would put a tax
on American commerce that no subsidy
bill could replace. 1t would prohibit the
employment of Chinese seamen aboard
American ships. and this would result in
an enormous difference in the matter OF
wages. He said that our commissioners
to negotiate new Chinese treaty in two
years should not be hampered and en-
barrasSed by the passage of any new law
AT the conclusion of the hearing Mr..
PenroSe, the Chairman of the committee,
announced that the whole subject would
be gone into very carefully by the com
mittee.

swer to the suit brought against him by
his ward, Mrs. Anna Adelhelde Wide
mann Bruno, to cancel a trust deed.
The suit was brought after the ward 5

easement without consultation with
Bruno, and~that she signed the deed
inadVisedly Dowsett in his answer

ward was about to marry Bruno, but
that there had been other engagements,

in it or not. He declares that the young
lady had eXtravagant habits and was
in danger of spending all her estate,
hence the trust deed.
