Tobacco Experts to Visit North Carolina

Tobacco Experts to Visit North Carolina.
Senator Simmons has been advised
by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
that experts will certainly be sent to.
North Carolina this year to give OBJ
ject lessons in the production of
Sumatra tobacco. It was through
the instrumentality of MI. Simmons
that the appropriation for this ex-
perimental work was very materially
increased. A similar appropriation
was last year secured in the House
by the late Congressman Moody,
but as all experiment agents were
engaged in Pennsylvania and Con-
necticut, none were sent to North
Carolina. There is a movement
among tobacco growers in Virginia
and North Carolina to get together
for some concerted action with a
view to curtailment of the acreage
in tobacco production. The idea is
for farmers to raise more hog and
hominy, plant a short crop of to-
bacco and get even with the tobacco
trust by charging good prices for
the limited supply. Among the bills
to fail in passage during the recent
session was that designed to prohibit
the use of cupons for gifts in ciga-

A GROWING BUSINESS.

The great volume to which the
trade on Champion Harvesting Ma
chimes has grown can in a measure
be appreciated by knowing that there
are now sixty branch houses in the
United States, located It the prin-
cipal trade centres, and each devoted
exclusively to the conduct of the
business of the Champion line.
Each branch house is in charge of
a general agent, who has under him
one or more stenographers, book
keepers and warehouse men, as we'll
as a number of travelling men. At
each branch are carried stocks of
machines and a full stock of repair
parts, while agents convenient to
every locality have on hand such re-
pair parts as are likely to be needed.

THE INVESTMENT OF MONEY
Advertisement

At the prevailing low rates of in
terest paid by saving banks, there
is very little opportunity for those
with a small amount of surplus mon
ely to realize anything satisfactory
in the way of an annual income. At
3 per cent, the average rate of in
terest paid by savings banks, $1,000
would yield $50 annually, and while
this might be satisfactory to the
person having a large amount of
money invested, because it gives
him a good income in the aggre-
gate and covers his expenses, it is
far from satisfactory to the person
with but a limited amount so employ
ed. Consequently investors of mod
crate means are looking for a chan
mel of investment with reasonable
assurance of safety, where greater
earnings can be obtained and where
the investment will appreciate in
value. An attractive channel for
persons so situated to attain these
ends is found in mining and its al
lied interests. The National Gold
and Silver Mining Company, suite
1919, 70 La Sale St., Chicago, offers
an exceedingly good opportunity
along this line. The management
of this company is in the hands of
men who stand high in the business
community of Chicago, and whose
names are a guarantee of commercial
integrity; they are Mark r. Sher-
man, formerly vice-president of the
Western State Bank, Chicago, presi-
dent; Samuel w. Winn, formerly
cashier and manager of the securities
department., secretary, and Edwin
Heartt, a practical miner, treasurer
and in charge of the active work on
the group of mines.

Mr. Geo Simon has been for
years fancier of Pigeons He
has given special attention to the
acrObatic members of the family
and takes great delight in watch
ing the birds when released for
their exercise. This week he expect
ed to receive a lot Of eleven Asia
tic Rollers, which are of the finest
variety ever brought to America
These birds spend hours on the
wing performing most wonderful
acrobatic feets at varying alti-
tudes, soaring to heights that will
but lose them to view A pecul-
iarity of the bird is the fact that
returning from their fight they
seem to not care to alight else
where than on the gallery Of their
own loft.

Right of Way Granted.

Last Monday evening the City
Council held a special meeting and
passed an ordinance, granting a
right-of- way to the Breaux Renou-
DIET new saw mill firm for switch
track along Chestnut street. 1t
was gratifying to know that all
the rumored opposition of interest
ed property holders along tins
avenue did not materialize at the
last moment.
This act of the council secures
to this town another valuable IN
dustry which will turn into the
channels of trade many thousands
of dollars per month. This will dc
a great deal towards dissipatlns
.shard times"
The company would do nothing
with the new site till this franchise
was granted. Now we may ex
pect active building operations.

an abandoned mine in the Altar dis
trict Of Mexico a short while ago."
said D. A. Macon. 1.-THE mine was an
ancient one, and had evidently been
abandoned many years ago by the
Aztecs who had worked it. The recent
discovery was made quite by accident.
The underground system Of workings
is very extensive, and there is in sight
over $1,OOO,0OO worth Of silver ore.
The recent exploration of the mine
showed the skeletons Of ten men lying
in one Of the chambers. A large sup.
ply of mining tools made out Of copper
was also found. Piles Of rich silver
ore were stored in underground cham
bers which will cost little to take out
to the Observation-Disclosures Star.
