An Expert Observer on the ManufaC.
tUre of Chewing Tobacco.

An expert observer on the manufac-
ture Of chewing tobacco claims that it
is the planters process of lue-curing,
producing and developing the stimulat.
ing flavor and boquct Of the tobacco
grown on certain lands in the Piedmont
tobacco bolt which popuIarizcs the
chewing tobacco habit.

factories arc octtcd in the famous Pied
mont fino-cured tobacco belt, the finest
chewing tobacco section known to the
world, This kind of tobacco requires
less sweetcning to please chcwcrs than
anv other tobacco grown. The Company's
location enables it t0sccurc the choicest
selections Of this Ilue-cnred leaf, which
are manufactured under the personal
supervision Of men who have made the
selecting and blending Of this particular
kind Of tobacco for chewing purposes
their life study.
The Reynolds plauts for the manufac-
ture Of Schuapps aud other Of its brands
Of chewing tobacco, are operated largely
by ymachincrv, in the most hygienic man
ner, and reveal a system Of cleanliness
that would do credit to model house

cooks" holds good in tobacco manu-
iacturing. The Company has reduced

BOOKS OF THE
FIRST NATIONAL BANK
Are Being Thoroughly Audited BY a
Well Known New York firm.

The First National Bank Of Greenwood
has for years been one Of the strongest
institutions in the State. The manage
mcnt has been noted for its conservative
methods and its efforts to protect the
interests of its depositors and stock
noidors.
During the past week the officers Of
the bank have inaugurated new plan
which has already received much favor
able comment and cannot fail to meet
with hearty approval as its features be
come better known. The plan adopted
by them was to secure the services Of a
firm of auditors to make an independent
examination Of the books, accounts and
assets of the Bank, After careful nves-
tigation they selected the we'll known
firm Of Messrs. Warwick Mitchell x Co.
70 Wall Street, New York, who have
department specially organized to con.
duct bank examinations. In making a
contract with this firm the bank felt
they were securing the best there was
in the country.
The examination is to cover ALI the at
fairs of the institution and the auditors
are to make complete report of the
condition Of the bank, which is to be
placed in the hands Of the directors
BY adopting this plan they put them
selves in that class Of bankers who
feel that their business Is being con /
Quoted on the s0undest possible basis .
and so do not fear the closest scrutiny
Of their affairs. When plan of this
kind is adopted by all banks such condi-
tions as we're found in the Milwaukee
Avenue Bank, Of Chicago, would fail to
'Xist. This method is a great protcc-
ion to honest officers, as it establishes
n the best possible manner that the af-
airs Of the bank, which have been en-
rusted to their care are being honestly
nd faithfully conducted.
Greenwood has been rapidly forging I
o the front as one of the most substan-
ial and wide-awake towns in the State,
nd it is such progressive methods AZ {
hat adopted by The First National Bank,
which will assist in placing the financial E
interests of the City on the soandest a
ossibIe foundation, and insure contin S
ed and lasting growth. q

KILL -FOUR TINES AS MANY.

The automobile seems to be a
much abused creature.
The record in the Coroners office
for the borough NJ Manhatten shows
that of the l7S deaths resulting
from railroad street-car, horse vehicle
and automobile accidents from Jan
| to July IS only sixteen are attribu-
ted 10 automobiles. This is rather
remarkable, considering the 10000
or more motors in use in the
borough and the speed with which
some OF them travel. 1t also tends
to show that the prejudice found in
many quarters against automobiles
and automobilists is not entirely
justified.
The figures show that since Jan.
/ horse-propelled vehicles have
caused the death of four times as
many persons as automobiles, and
that those other necessary vehicles

The fact that more people are

Upton WILL RACE
ANOTHER CONTEST Is NOW AS
SURED FOR 1908.

One Of the London yachting journals just
received here refers editorially to ''Sir
Thomas Lipton's triumphal progress
through America" but wonders whether
his peregrinations have been attended with
any favorable results toward the reopening
of the international contest which turns on
the possession OF the Americas cup.''
This journal. while fearing that the re-
ports received in Great Britain of Sir.
Thomas wanderings in America mean but
little in the direction named, hopefully as
sumes that there may be some real signif-
canoe In his conference with the flag off,
GERS and others Of the New York Yacht
Club at a luncheon in this city recently.
Although there was no significance in this
conference with the flag officers of the New
York Yacht Club yet from what was
learned yesterday Sir Thomas gained much
that he sought. 1t is reported that the New
planned. has given Sir Thomas to under
stand that there will be no stumbling blocks
placed in his path for another challenge for
the cup, the race to take place during the
summer of 1908. and that the clubs present
rule of measurement shall in all essential
details govern the match.
Clear Away Doubts.
This being the case, 1t is all that Sir
Thomas wanted and hoped for. It clears
away Tic oouolS anu HiisSi'ihSS thdl HdNo
befogged intended negotiations for another
race for the last three years, and disposes
of the possibilities of again using the Re-
lance as the defending yacht.
From the same source of Information 1t
has also been ascertained that Sir Thomas
next challenging craft will be cutter, de-
signed by William Fife, the designer of the
Shamrock III and the Shamrock I.
Again, that the challenging cutter will in
all probability be in the eighty foot
class. H, of the clubs new classification.
That Is, the new challenger will not be over
eighty-two feet, rating measurement. This
will produce a boat about lightweight feet
or so on the water line, and. being whole
some craft. as the rule Is meant to produce
all the hue and cry about freaks" and OF
boats that are worthless after the interna-
tional contests are over should cease. The
defending vessel. of course, will be quite
as devoid of freakish features as the chal-
1enger.
