A HINT TO OUR TOBACCO PEOPLE.

The Richmond Times Dispatch speak
ing of Virginias proposed tobacco ex-
hibit at the Worlds Fair, says:
"That Virginia is going to have a cred
liable tobacco exhibit at the st. Louis
Exposition there is no doubt, because
the tobacco people are becoming thor
oughly interested in the enterprise and
are determined to make 1T success.
They are wide-awake people and fully
realize the benefits to be derived from
the advertisement which will be given
them, and when they determine to accom-
plish specified result, the obstacle which
they cannot surmount has yet to appear
before them.
They will not depend solely upon the
State appropriation TO cover the expenses
of the exhibit, but nearly every market
in the State has taken upon itself the
task of getting up special exhibit and
defraying the extra expense of installa
ton, thus giving each an opportunity to
make as elaborate exhibit as the amount
OF money they choose to spend on it will
justify. This is regared as the most sat
isfactory plan that could have been adopt
ed, as it localizes the advertisement and
creates spirit of friendly rivalry, there
by causing each market to put forth
every effort to make the handsomest dis
play possible.
when these market exhibits are
grouped in one grand general State ex-
kibt, which will be made up Of Virginia
tobacco in every form from the seed to
the finished product, arranged in the most
artistic manner possible, and surrounded
by all kinds sof machinery and tools used
in handling and working tobacco it will
make a showing which all Virgimans will
be proud to recognize as coming from
their native State"
North Carolina is the best tobacco
State in the Union. 1t grows the best
tobacco grown in the world 1t has many
tobacco factories. Some of them the
largest and most profitable in the bust
ness. Are our tobacco people going to
allow other States to carry away the
banners at st. Louis. that really and
Justly belongs to North Carolina? Our
State authorities are ready to cooperate
with our tobacco people in every way
possible, and with the right kind of eff
fcrt and cooperation and at compare
lively small cost we can eclipse anything
at ST. Louis in the shape of a State to-
bacco exhibit Let the tobacco associa-
tions get busy and get up the display.

he was glad to look into the faces of

of curtailment would be brought, but It
was pointed out that when it came to
putting the plan into execution the
various mill treasurers would in all
probability act as their Individual con-
ditions influenced them.
1t was generally believed that there
mills which were short of cotton would
welcome a proposition looking to gen
eral curtailment. Other mills which
were we'll supplied would see less in
dividual advantage in thus helping out
their less fortunate competitors. How
ever, it was admitted that those mills
which We're IN position to run for
some time might be willing to curtail
in the interests of the trade in general
and thus incidentally secure a better
future market for themselves.
To summarize, if a national confer
ence ut Washington is arranged local
manufacturers will be represented and
agree to curtailment providing they
are convinced that plan of general
curtailment can be brought about.

Miss Bartor's Opponents Pleased.

Washington. Dec. S.-The American
National Red Cross Society in annual
meeting mere, today. decided to grant
the request of the opposition for an
investigation as to the condition of the
work of the society. At the request Of
Miss Barton, Hon. Richard Olney pre-
sided. 1t was agreed that an investI-
eating committee should be appointed
by Mr.. Olney. The reporl of the COM
mittee on new set of bylaws was
adopted. The most important change
is in the election of the board of trus-
tees who shall have the immediate
government of the society. This change
it is said, really substracts from the
power of Miss Barton in the society
and meets with favor among the
"Outs" although 1t was explained by
one of the formers friends that her
power was not lessened as her friends
were on the board.

of the failure of favorites to win. When

and with thousands of dollars of the

which made the conspiracy plain.
Davis took all the money offered on
Divina, and the Jockey Club sent in
$4,000 to bet on Divina. Then at the

revealed his hand by wiping Divina off
the board and refusing to take any
more bets on the horse. AS luck would
have it, Divina did not win, SO if Davis

have euchred the club.
The club learned, through detectives
that Denny Lynch. ruled off at Chi

daily consultation with Davis.
Horses which were slated to lose

the three jockeys who We're ruled off

NEW ENGLAND MILLS
Cannot Yet Announce Plans as to Pro
duction Curtailment.

Boston, Dec. SIT cannot be told at
TINS time what affect the move to bring
about curtailment in the cotton mills
Of the United States will have in New
England. Few manufacturers care to
express an opinion at present and
these who are willing to discuss the sit
uatlon are not agreed ON plan to be
pursued, although it is generally ad-
mitted that mill owners cannot turn out
goods at a profit with cotton purchased
at the prevailing quotations, while the
present attitude of buyers of the fin
ished product is maintained.
This seems to be the sentiment of the
owners of small mills and of treasurers
who are short of cotton that curtail-
ment Of production IS absolutely neces-
sary. New York manufacturers admit
that they are very much "at sea- re-
garding futures. Some of the larger
mill interests in New England and, es-
recially in the northern section who
have fair cotton supply are not adj
vOcating shut down at this time, and
it is believed that they would care to
do much curtailing unless they received
assurances that the movement would
be general in all sections, North, and
South as they maintain that half
hearted curtailment would not prove
success.
Arthur T. Lyman Of this city, who is
president of some of the largest cot
ton mills in northern New England, has
expressed the opinion that his mills
would not need to stop their machinery.
Charles H. Fish of the Cocheco Mfg.
Co. of Dover n. H.. and for many years
president of the New England Cotton
Mfg. Association, regards the condition
as serious and believes that many mills
will have to shut down.
General Manager Henry Lippitt of the
Manville Co., which operates the Social
Nourse Globe and Manville mills in
Rhode Island, thinks that there will prob
ably be great curtailment of production.
The policy set on foot at Charlotte is

Charlotte meeting will be thoroughly dis
cussed by mill men in this section before
they commit themselves to an ironclad
agreement and if the movement is sue
ccssful it is stated that it will be several

as can be learned, many of those favor

mills a certain number Of days each week.
