TOBACCO SALES
TO BEGIN SOON
Season Will Probably Open
Here Next Week--Gossip
of the Trade.

Sales on The tobacco breaks OF Rich

week, and not little interest In the
event Is being manifested in the trade.
During the past few weeks the new
crop has been drifting In In small lots
Of primings and hard-looking sun-cured.
which nobody wanted very much and
which brought but small prices. The
real season, however, Is late TINS year;
and has not yet opened. 1t is expected
to do so next week, and when 1t does
begin tobacco will probably pour In In
large quantities. The crop Is a fair one
In point Of quantity, and an excellent
one, 1t Is said, in point of quality.
great deal of good tobacco has been
raised, and very little bad The farmers
will probably unload their crops Mt once.
instead of holding back, as 1t was at first
supposed they would do. Sun-cured will

II will hardly command such prices as
last year. A round average of six or

Leaf dealers generally are moro encour-
aged as to the future. They are building
their hopes upon the belief that tho low
prices on tobacco, particularly IN tho
bright belt. will drive the farmers to
raising cotton or something else, thus
curtailng tho size Of the crop Of 1904.
This will give prices chance to rise
again. The foreign markets are jogging
along rather uneventfuly. England Is
dull. Germany is rather excited over the
establishment in Bremen by the American
Tobacco Company OF q leaf agency. The
whole situation hinges upon how far the
American Tobacco Company intends to
push In this direction. A prominent leaf
dealer here hazarded tho opinion yester-
day that it would not be very far. The
American Tobacco Company, he said. has

but Is forced to buy It up in crops. In
this way it gets quantity OF stun that
1t doesn't really need. This gentleman
believed that the intention Of tho trust
was simply to unload this surplus stock
on the foreign markets, and not to go
into the leaf business generally

NORTH CAROLINA DAY.

We have devoted much of our space
to tho North Carolina reunion. because
1t was a notable occasion of pleasure
and profit and patriotism. North Caro-
lima has produced many great men, men
who have impressed their personality
upon tho nation. Thousands Of them
have moved into other States. and wher-
ever they have gone, as rule. they have
been an honor to themselves and to the
state OF their nativity. Many of these
men are now In Virginia, and 1t is pleas
ant to know that one of the largest and
most conspicuous of the delegations at
Greensboro was the delegation from the
Old Dominion. It is most impressive
that thirty States Of the Union were rep
resented, and that the largest deleBa-
ton of all came from the State OF IN
diana. This fact alone shows how great
a part North Carolina has played In the
building of the nation. In peace. and in
war, in the halls Of Congress, in conf
merce and industry, in all departments
of life, her men have given a splendid
account OF themselves. and was a
grand thing for the nbsent sons and
daughters to return home for reJ
days and to greet their friends and kins-
men of the Old North State.
Several years ago, and from that time
thereafter, we suggested and urged that
Virginia have such an occasion as this
and issue invitations to her absent sons
and daughters to come home. The sug-
gestion is renewed. The success OF the
North Carolina reunion should be an In
uentive to Virginia to follow the eX-
ample. 1t is not a new idea. 1t Is
an established custom in New England,
and we should like to see 1t become an
| established custom in Virginia. From
every point OF view, social, patriotic and
| practical 1t Is desirable. Let w have
| Virginia day and a grand reunion. in
! Richmond or somewhere else, of the
| sons and daughters OF the Old Dominion
! who have settled in other States.

iscences for n weekly paper. and ne mas
excited great public surprise by what he
has had TO say about his former subor-
dinate.
here is n querelous note about Mr..
Longs statement which SHOWS that his
relations with Roosevelt weer not cor
dial But the most remarkable thing IN
the "reminiscences is that Mr.. Long goes
deliberately upon record as stating that
before there was any declaration of war
on the part of this country against Spain,
MIR. Roosevelt urged that this govern
mont should send fleet to Spain to sink
the Spanish ships and torpedo boat de-
stroyers before they could cross the
ocean.
his sort of thing. alleged to have been
proposed by Mr.. Roosevelt was some
times done by war-lke nations hum
bred years or moro ago, but 1t is incredi-
BILE that it should be suggested by an
American statesman Of this generation.
Nor do the friends of Mr.. Roosevent
admit that he ever made any such prop
osition hey say It is probable that what
Mr.. Roosevelt proposed was that our
fleet should be so placed in European
waters. or near thereto, that In the
event of war with Spain they. would be
at hand and ready to pounce upon the
Spanish ships and take them by sur
prise as 1t were.
Doubtless Mr.. Roosevelt's reply to this
charge of Mr.. Longs will appear IN
semi official form before very long.
y II Mr. Longs memory serves him right
Mr. Roosevelt cannot claim to be q very
wise and conservative officer of govern
ment. though he can show that such
proposition Is not without precedent. on
the other hand, II 1t appear that all he
wanted to do was to have the United
States fleet in position of advantage,
in case OF war, why, he Will receive
praise. not discredit, therefor. In view
Of the former official relations of Long
and Roosevelt, 1t does not occur to us
that it Is in the very best Of taste for
the cx-Secrctary to be criticising the
gentleman who Is now President.

WHITE AND BLACK.

AS heretofore noted in The Timcs-Dis-
patch, the report of the Surgeon-General
OF the army shows there Is more sickness
among the negro troops than among white
troops. AT one time it was supposed that
blacks would be better able than whites
to Withstand the tropical heat Of the Phil
ippines, but such Is not the case. On the
other hand, one would think the whites
would take bettor care of themselves
than the negroes do, yet that is not a
safe assumption.
The statistics reveal the fact that out
OF the native Filipino scouts who have
been enlisted in the United States SER
vice, only three were treated for alco-
Eolism in one year, while white soldiers
were admitted to the sick report on ac-
count of their own misconduct In the use
OF alcohol at the rate OF PATS a thousand,
and colored troops at the rate of ITO. The
Malay scouts showed the extremely small
admission rate OF 0G2 a thousand.
So 1t would seem that, Notwithstanding
the white soldiers INDUCED themselves
more freely In liquor than the colored
soldiers did, they stood tho climate bet
ter. Both OF these facts reverse the pre-
conceived opinion OF the public, The
practice of tho government, however, has
/ been to keep It's soldiers in the Philip
pines for short terms. but In the Sur
| geon-General's report. or at least In tho
synopsis of 1t that we have seen, 1t Is
not stated whether the term Of service
| for the white and black regiments was
| the same. The longer regiment stays In
the Philippines, the greater the death
| rate becomes.
