sTONEVILLE. N. c., May 1S.-Pesram
and Penn. of Madison. N. c.. have gone
into the hands Of receiver. Their In
debtedness is $500; assets, $4,000. A
compromise of thirty cents on the dol
lar is offered. but it is thought will not
be accepted.
Pegram and Penn are manufacturers
OF tobacco. and were supposed to be do
ing a good business. The receiver IS Tom

NIr. Pleas Joyce. the gentleman
who was afflicted with a large tumor
on his neck. and went to Johns hopkins
University to have an operation per-
formed has since died. Mr.. Joyce was
one of the best and most prosperous
farmers Of this section, and was an
honest and upright man. He was about
fifty-tWo years old.
Some one went into Glenn's Warehouse
Saturday night and built a fire in the
accommoda tion-room and from appear
ance it looks as if it was incendiary. a
colored man passing Sunday morning saw
smoke issuing from the room and went
in and put the fire out. a large hole
was burned in the floor. A few min
utes more would have given 1t such
start that 1t would have consumed the
business part of the town. as there is no
fire department here
The County Commissioners have grant
ed the petition of citizens and no license
will be granted to sell liquor within 200
yards of any church in the place. This
will force it's sale into the suburbs of the
town, and annoyance from this source
will cease.
From the quantity Of fertilizers that
the farmers are carrying away a large
crop of tobacco will be planted in this
section. The farmers have been led to
this course from q failure of the wheat
crop-not one-half a crop of wheat can
be harvested.
