some information of value to the Off
Gals in the proposed investigation of
the great tobacco trust The detec-
t.ves attempted to ascertain if some
of the Reidsville manufacturing plants
had been absorbed by the trust. What
success they had is not learned. While
many people here are of the opinion
that two of Reidsville's largest plants
are now branches of the trust. very
few, if any know it positively. The
detectives spent several days here.
The antitrust concerns here are be-
ginning to go up against the real
thing. Messrs Robert Harris e.
Bro. among the largest Independent
manufacturers in the South, have the
news that the trust has begun a war
of determination against them in

in building up a good trade on their

fight is especially directed against the

Monroe, n. c.. Nov. 9.-At the COM

delayed petition for a dispensary cleo

handed in in envelope late yesterday
by Mr.. F. f. Griffin. who did not ex-
plain the contents of the package.
The commissioners set this morning
evenly of the leading temperance
workers of the township on hand to
look after their side. The chairman of
the board asked if there were present
anyone representing the petition. No
one answered The board sent for Mr..
Griffin. who left the papers in the Of
flee. Mr. Griffin replied that he had
been asked to leave the petition, but
he would not appear as a voucher for
it. 1t looked as if the orphan would
never get friend to speak for it. but
about this time one of the petitioners,
Mr.. James A. Pate, came in, and
though he stated that he was not there
as a representative. he took some little
part in the proceedings, which was all
the championing that the measure
got
About fifteen or twenty of the petit
toners sent in written notice to take
in person and had their names re-
moved. II appearing that there were
some names on the petition twice, a
good many were signed in other than
their own handwriting and some had
moved from the township the validity
of the petition was questioned and the
board called in its counsel, Mr.. r. b.
Redwine, to get advice. Mr.. H. B.
Adams was sent for by the temperance
people. After considerable discussion
it was decided to go into the matter on
it's merits. The lists are now being
gone over to ascertain who of the
signers are qualified to sign. The law
requires one-thrd of the registered
waters of the township to sign be-
fore the commissioners can grant the
election. and when one-third have 50
signed they must grant it. About fifty
names have so far been found not to
be on the registration books, and the
temperance people think that enough
of the 35T names viii be found dis
qualified to prevent the election.

RceimentaI Histories.

At a recent meeting of the Board
or Trustees of the State library 500
sets of the History of the North Car
DINA Regiments in the War between
the States were placed at the disposal
of the State Superintendcnts of Pub
lie Instruction for distribution to rural
libraries.
AS there are more than 1000 Ii
braries in the State it will, of course
be impossible to place a set of these
very valuable books in each. The fol-
lowing plan has been adopted, there
fore, as the most suitable arrange
ment for their distributions: Six sets
will be sent at once to every county
in which twelve libraries have al
ready been established under the rural
Library Act, to be placed by the
County SuperintendcntS in such Ii
braries as he shall select. The re-
manning ones will be distributed six
each, to the other counties as soon as
they bring the number of their Ii
braries up to twelve, to be distributed
by the County superintendent to such
libraries as he shall select. The books
will be shipped by freight, charges
prepaid direct to the County Superin-
tendent.
To him it is suggested that they be
placed. as far as possible, in libraries
located in different sections of the
county, where they will be accessible
to the greatest number of readers
These books are the history of the
part taken by North Carolina in the
greatest of modern wars a history
which we are justified in being proud
of. and which every son and every
daughter of North Carolina ought to
know by heart.
About One-half Of the sets will be
required to supply the counties which
already have twelve libraries. 1t IS
earnestly hoped that the other half
will be quickly taken by other coun-
ties complying with the conditions.
