Suspicious Characters.

Ernest Moody is locked in the city Jail.
having been arrested by an officer of the
First District on the charge of being a
suspicious character. He is supposed to
be one of the men who held UP S. C.
Slide Monday night at the corner of
Nineteenth and Cary streets and relieved
him of $50. A man is held at the Second
Station who is thought to be his accom-
plice. Slide is an employee Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio shops and lives near
Seven Pines.
He was in town Monday night and fell
in with the two men, who, seeing that
he was not able to take care of himself,
heglliled him into going to Cary street,
where they fell upon him and took his
money. The case will come up in court
this morning.
Lewis Jenkins (colored) was arrested
yesterday as suspicious character. It
was thought that he had stolen horse
which he was trying to sell. He offered
the horse for sale for $50. and afterward
dropped to $50. When arrested he told
the officer he came from Cumberland
county, but could not tell the name of
the officers of that county, nor did he
know anything about people living there.
A man came in the station last night and
said he had known jenkins in Cumber-
land and knew he owned the horse and
had worked three crops with it. He was
summoned to court this morning, when
the case will be heard.

GREAT: \ TOBACCO TOWN D |
Evidences of Prosperity on
the Border-Activity in
Sales Market.

v1RGILINA, VA, October l1.-{Speclal)
This is a live, progressive. borderstoWn'
on the Norfolk Division of the Southern
Railway System. For several years tnere
has been tobacco market here. the hscal
year just closing has been the mose
prosperous the town ever experienced.
not only was there a good corps OF local
buyers, but all the so-called great To-
bacco trusts had agents continually buy
ing; as result many mammoth prizeries
are being built to supply the urgent
needs of the trade.
The sales of primings have been large
and the prices eminently satisfactory TO
the farmers. AS the printing season LAS
about closed, leaf has commenced coming
in quite freely and is selling high. Inc
whole trade seems to be quite buoyant.
The town is admirably located on an
elevate that insures good health ana
splendid water It is at the junction OF
four counties-Person and Granville In
North Carolina and Halifax and Meek
lenburg in Virginia. It is In the heart OF
the great copper section, and also IN
the golden leaf belt of tobacco. CIV
ing it superior adva ntages over many sur
rounding competitors
1t has a fol:rishing bank, a dozen or
more stores; excellent livery. good hotel,
numherless restaurants, and several neat,
elegant churches.
The crop of tobacco in this section
has nearly all been cut and cured. ana
it is a very good one a new feature was
noticed on many of the tobacco farms:
f1ourishing sucker is growing luxu-
riantly on the hills where the plants have
been cut. In many fields. they are of
good size and many have been topped. .
I mean. the bud has been taken out
just as was done to the tobacco in order
for it to have good sized leaves. And II
a late fall, it will properly mature. This
making of two crops of tobac eco in one
year on the same hills is decidedly new
departure but the indication are it VIII
be successful.
Ten miles north of here is located the
world-renowned "Hyco" tobacco seed
farm.
This year the quantity Of seeds grown
appear to~be unusually large. the stalks
bearing the seeds of 100000 hills are now
stacked" in the fields prepare tory to
being threshed and prepared for the
markets. This is decidedly a tobacco
