unsafe, and a pestiferous man gener-
ally. Several people of the county had
received threats from him that at the
first opportunity he intended to kill
them.

RAISING, WRAPPER TOBACCO.
Secretary Wilson Tells Cabinet
what His Department Is Doing in
This Line.


Washington, Jan. 10.-At the cabinet
meeting to-day Secretary Wilson OK
planned what had been done by his de-
partment in the way of experiments
in raising tobacco. He stated that it
had been fully demonstrated that we
could raise in this country all the
wrapper tobacco necessary for domes-
tic use, and of a quality second to none.
In every particular it was as fine
as could be grown in Cuba or any other
country. Last year ten acres of filler
tobacco had been successfully raised in
Pennsylvania of a very high grade
and during the coming season extern
sive experiments would be made in
raising high grade filler in Ohio, Texas,
North Carolina and California. Last
year the imports of wrapper tobacco
into the United States amounted to So
000, 1000, and of filler $S,000,000. In short
time the Secretary said we would be
able to supply our own wrapper and
filler of grade that would challenge
the best grown anywhere in the world.
A few prospective appointments were
talked over, and it is understood that
the only one decided upon was that Of
Mr.. Elliott. collector of customs, at
Newport News, Va. the present occu-
pant of that office.

the Daily News staff will be turned to
giving Brunswick in the Daily News
an up-to-date progressive non-parti-

sanized by General Manager Leavy
and it's stockholders are among Bruins
Wick's leading business men. They put

Mr.. Reed f. LaMance has secured the
contract for all the marble, stone and
granite work in the new government
building and left to-day for a tour of
the quarries of Georgia and the West
to inspect and secure material. The
contract runs away up into the thou
sands and will give much work to
stonecutters and others here on the
grounds.
Two delegations of German emigrants
referred to in these dispatches several
days ago have arrived, and work is
now progressing on the lands they ex-
pect to turn into truck farms. This
promises to be quite an addition to
Brunswick's farming community.
The work of driving the piling for
the foundation of the new government
building has about been completed. II
was a difficult job. but was successfully
accomplished and shortly the work of
laying the other foundations will COM
mence. The entire building will have
to be completed in sixteen months nm
der the present contract, but there is
strong effort being made by Con
gresham Brantley to secure an addI-
tional appropriation to place marble
in certain parts where wood is apeci-
fed, and If this appropriation is granted
the time may be extended.

cause of Failure of Everett Moore
Syndicate.
Cleveland. Jan. 10.-The Euclid Ave-
nue. Trust and Savings Company. at 81
and SO Euclid avenue, made an assign
ment to-day to Attorney Frank II.
CHM. The latter's bond was fixed at
$250,000 by Judge Bloch of the Insolv-
ency Court.
The assignees stated that the bark
has been unable to realize upon it's
assets rapidly enough to meet the un-
usual demands which have been made
upon it recently. The directors state
that no depositor and no customer OF
the bank will lose a dollar and that
the bank is solvent and that its pres
ent embarrassment arises from the fact
that it's patrons have been unable TO
meet their obligations to the bank with
sufficient rapidity to take care of the
unusual Withdrawals"
According to the last published state
ment of the bank, issued Occt. !, 1901,
the capital stock paid in amounted to
$500, 900; total resources, $2,963,002; in
dividual deposits, $2197, 773; surplus
fund, $4,000.
1t is stated the bank carried about
$4,000 i'm the securities of the Detroit
and Toledo Line, Which recently passed
in the hands of receivers. AS a result
of the financial embarrassment of the
Everett Moore syndicate, it Is under
stood the bank found it impossible TO
realize upon these securities.

would be reduced this year to 500; next

claimed it was SO necessary to retain
had been detailed from the various
departments.

BETTER RAILWAY MOVEMENT.
Passing of Holiday Business Gives
Some Relief to Railways.

New York. Jan. 10.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say;
With the unprecedented holiday BUSH
ness ended, transporting facilities are
more nearly adequate for regular re-
quirements. Merchandise moves to
consumers more promptly. and in the
iron region there is less interruption
Normal conditions have by no means
returned, however, and it will be some
time before shippers can safely guar
antee deliveries on a specified date.
Buying of staple commodities is on
large scale, fully sustaining quota
tons at high level, except in the few
instances where efforts were made to
hold prices above the point warranted
by the ratio of needs to supplies. La
Dor controversies are few and unim-
portant, while the new year has
brought advances in the rate of wages
at many points.
Holiday idleness, inventories and an
nual overhaulings were all cut down
to the lowest possible limit at iron
and steel plants in the effort to meet
urgent demands from customers. Al
though railways largely augmented
supplies of rolling stock during 1901,
NCAANi ats IOl Ni-lo Jtdl - 0tiiNSAy
ready aggregate many months full ca
pacity of shops.
Activity continues at cotton mills,
although domestic buying is on a mod
crate scale. Exporters are bidding
freely for heavy goods, but as a rule
fall short of holders views, and little
new business is recorded.
Reports of unfavorable weather in
winter wheat regions stimulated prices
and there was further support in the
general resumption of activity at -four
mills, together with added inquiry for
foreign account.
Corn was fairly we'll held in sympa-
thy with wheat, but some soft spots
developed, as was natural in view of
the fact that the price is now more
than SO per cent. higher than year
ago. Cotton was depressed by liberal
receipts, though foreign conditions
have improved, and the quotation is
almost $40 a bale lower than at this
time last year.
Failures for the week numbered 573
IN the United States against 324 last
year, and q in Canada against 81 last
year.
