TOBACCO GROWERS MEET.
THE SITUATION DISCUSSED BY
REPRESENTATIVE MEN.
Committee Appointed to Solicit Peo'
ple Of All Glasses to JON Hands
Against the Trust.


meeting of the tobacco growers here
today was composed of representative
men from all sections of the county.
The crisis that now confronts the
tobacco growers and the farmers in
general was discussed, but no def
mite plan of campaign was adopted.
The meeting was held in the grove
near the residence of Mr Fl H Sim
gletary. Mr. A c Stewart wasmade
chairman and Hon j Davis Carter
secretary.
Hon j Davis Carter made an able
speech, showing the the cost of pro-
duction and advising reduction OF
acreage. He said that the trust re-
fuses absolutely to give any data and
that we could only approximate the
cost of manufacture, but that it was
evident that the trust was playing the
role of the highway robber.
Senator ~ II Williams made one
his characte lstic, sensible speeches of
and advised cautious, deliberate
action.
Sheriff Geo J Graham favored the
Alliance and thought that organi-
zation the proper ore to fight efec-
lively the trust. Mr. A G Stewart
also favored the alliance.
Capt w ID. Fitch made a good
speech and told of the dowL-
trodden condition of the farmers and
said they would ever be in a state of
servitude if they did not assert their
rights.
At this juncture Hon j Davis
Carter offered resolution that
committee of three be appointed
from each township to solicit names
of farmers, merchants, doctors, law
yers and everybody who was willing
to join hands in the fight against the
tobacco trust, and that each town.

Dynamiters DastardIy Deed.

The details of tile dynamite explos-
ion at New Castle at an early hour
yesterday morning are herewith given
as taken from the Glenwood Avalan-
che.
! New Castle. Dec. 17.-This morning
shortly before five O'Clock the first of
series of explosions occurred which
completely aroused the community at
intervals of from three to five minutes
I apart. Other explosions we.e heard
in different parts of the town. Upon
investigation it was found that the
houses in which lived William Doyle.
Evan Davis, Jack Law son. William
Isaacs and their families, and the
store building of G. A. Hahn in which
James and Jack Doyle slept, were
completely destroyed or badly wreck
ed. The houses of VIM. Doyle and
Evan Davis were completely demol-
ished.
The house occupied by Jack Lawson
was partially wrecked. The explos-
ion at his piece occurred nearly under
the head of the bed and threw the
occupants into the middle of their
room
The house occupied by VIM Isaacs
was blown to pieces. The only other
oss sustinedl was the killing of their
pet dog
The rear of the building in which
slept James and Jack Lawson was
blown out. The boys occupied a
room Immediately under which the
explosion occurred.

cried. Blind yourself for life to a

from you? Never!!"

upon the table with an emphasis

She returned to the porch. Scarce
had she taken up her position when
Bessemer came in sight. James horse,
the sleek chestnut which was her
favorite, did not escape his eye. With
a word of command to his officers, he
threw himself from his horse and
strobe through the gate to the front
porch, at the top Of whose steps Mrs.
Ellery stood.
"Ah, colonel, good-morning," said
the lady condescendingly. ".'Tis long

THE BEREAVED LOVER.

Low Ive wandered far to-day where
green forest boughs are bending,
And past wide, wide fields where men are
.e... planting corn;
And I found a forest pathway that OF old
knew oft our vending,
Where in shady hooks still hung the
dew of morn;
And the hooking birds were singing and
the skies were deep and blue,
And sweet voices of the springtiIae
seemed to ask for YOU.
Said the mocking birds: T maiden?
You'e not surely here ~alone'?"
And: "Aione!" the echo whispered, and
a breeze tiptoeing by
Softly searched through all the forest
with a low eXpectant tone,
And then STOPPING to the meadow where
the early blossoms lie
Gently lifted up each leaflet, then re-
placing 1T with care,
Seemed to pause then soft departed,
Whispering: mot there, not there!'
Still I trod on till I reached it, the old
oak tree of our TRUSTING,
Where a mound is and where wreaths
of blossoms lie,
And my face was in the moses, and the
breezes all unlistinS
Wandered PAST me and I heard a quav'-
ring cry,
Which Welled from somewhere within me
q long cry which naught could safe;
Twas my soul bereft and longing, call
ing, calling, to it's mate.
But the blossoms, nor the oak tree where
our names are carven deep,
Seemed to give the mound beside ME cen
a thought;
Sust the breeze came smuggling to ME and
it whispered: "Never weep
For the maiden for her SOlll iS oa,-er
caught
In that narrow earthern chamber where
the worms their revels hold;
For the soul seeks warmth and glory, and
the grave is dark and cold!"
Then I wandered far and left it, left the
grave. earth-cOld and deep,
For a something whispered to me where
to seek,
And T know that I shall find you on the
other side of sleep,
And, although T wake with tear drops
on my cheek,
Still I know you wait to greet me where
we never more shall part,
But the long and weary waiting, just the
waiting, breaks my heart!

with his chivalry to an absent friend.
Mr.. Sims Reeves had been announced
to sing at the dinner, and, as hap.
pened not infrequently, Mr.. Sims
Reeves had something the matter
with his throat and was unable to
be present. Dickens announced this
and the statement was received with
a general laugh of %incredulity. This
made Dickens, who was in the ch,ir.
very angry and he m%anfully upheld
his friend. My friend, Mr.. Sims

The sinister pause before the title

that this girls name should be
smirched, as it would be if the
lengths to which she had gone to
save Worthington's life that night
were known. His pride's protection
moved him to this course, if nothing
else. He had paid her marked atten-
ton; had openly courted her brother
for her sake; had made no secret of
his wooing. To have the name of a
woman he had thus honored linked
Trustworthy with that of another man
was CALLING.

between his teeth, "for your family's
sake, not to mention your own, that
