BROUGHT IT IN BUT
Load of Tobacco Was Not Deliver
ed No Reason Civ.
en- Why.

He drove right In and turned
around and drove right out again
with a load of tobacco. He was Ham
Pope, a prosperous farmer living a
few miles east of the city. The to-
bacco, 1t Is understood had been sold
to the Imperial Tobacco company and
was taken to the factory of that COM
pany for delivery, but, for some rea-
son, was not delivered. This, how
ever, is more or less a matter of
conjecture. All that Is certainly
known is that Mr.. Pope brought a
load of tobacco to Greensboro and took
it back home.
+. II. Clarke, local manager for
the Imperial, was called up on the
telephone Friday for The purpose of
asking him for an explanation of why
the tobacco was not received. He
declined, however, to allow the ques-
lion to be asked. 81 suppose l know
what you are about to refer TO-" he
said. 81 know nothing about the mat
ter. l was cut of twon all day and
have no statement to make concern
ing it" Mr.. Pope was also called up
on the telephone and asked why the
tobacco was taken back home.
Have You asked the Imperial peo-
pie about lt?" ne inquired. He was
told that Dir. Clarke had been
Seen" Would he tell you any
thing?" was Mr.. Pope's next ques-
ton. He was told that Mr.. Clarke
would not tell anything, after which
he announced, 81 won't either"
Mr. Pope did state, however, that
the tobacco was brought to Ovens
boro, but was not received by the
fac DRY and was taken back home.
Sometime ago the tobacco men of
greensboro requested the farmers not

most uncomfortable for the hostess.
Arrive for meal at the moment

pardonable, although the distances 70

UNLESS They BUY
1906 CROP OF TOBACCO.
Burley Growers Will Ask LegiS-
lature ia Exclude T0bac-
co Company.

Reports have been received In Louis
vile from Cincinnati, where informal
meetings of the hurley tobacco grower
societies have been held for several
days, that an ultimatum is about to
be given the American Tobacco Com
pany that it must either buy the 1906
holdings of the Burley Society or pre-
pare to be driven out of the State by
law which the growers say they will
submit to the Legislature, declaring the
company a combination in restraint
of trade, says the Louisville Herald.
This is the final and strongest weap
on which the growers can use, and is
intended, it is declared, 10 bring the
company TO terms. Not only has the
trust refused thus far 10 purchase the
1906 crop at prices named by the grow
ers, but il is preparing, ii is said 10
substitute dark tobacco TO large ex-
TEN for the light hurley, and to expert
ment with tobacco grown in other re-
gions in It's effort to keep from having
to pay the prices demanded by the
growers.

He was simply looking to his rights
and no one else's.
This was his way. OF course he
didn't stay long. There was no par
ticular quarrel. He just "petered
out" He hadn't apprehension enough
of his duties or sufficient regard
for his service to put him in sympath,
with his work. He was a misfit
He did as little as he could for his
employer. He stood for his rights ant
more too. That was some years ago.
Now he is driving team up in Cleve-
.land for s1.50 day.
When he left the shop another boy
went in. He knew his right but he
didn't insist on them as much as he
might for he believed in doing things.
If time was up and he could finish
thing with a few minutes overwork,
he did it everytime. He made him
self worth something. Pretty soon
that employer saw he couldn't get
along without him. He kept advan-
cling his wages and took him into
partnership and now the business is
a great one, the boy has a grand
home, big salary and lovely family
all because he was a boy Of get up,
of gumption and thought more of
his duties than he did of his rights

Radium Solves MANY Problems

DR.. Robert Able is authority for the
statement that radium has solved many
problems connected with the treatment
Of cancerous growths and other LESSONS.
1T is possible to say positively" he says
that cancer at certain stage can be
cured by radium. Thick, animal-like
skin, covered with mouse-like hair,
can be reduced by radium TO a normal
condition. But just how these cures
are effected is a matter of conjec-
ture."

THE WATCH CAME BACK.


1 - y y ~. fatI - ~
Having his watch stolen from him
and offered for sale back to him In an
hour was what happened to friend
OF mino the other day when crowds
gathered at the newspaper bulletin
boards waiting for news OF the Thnw
inry," said citizen to o New York
Sun reporter. 1T happened this way.
IAN old friend Of mine was stand
Ing among Others waiting for news Of
the Thaw jury when suddenly he felt
twitch at HIS watch pocket and his
watch was gone. Not being sure OF
his ground he kept his loss to himself
aud walked away from the crowd,
After transacting little business
in the neighborhood he turned toward
home. Remembering that he needed
a drink he stepped into a saloon.
HE waH In the midst of his story,
telling the sympathetic bartender Of
his experience, with his back to tile
door, when voice back of him broke
into the conversation, ordered drink
and asked the drink mixer II he had
any use for watch, mentioning the
fact that there was one to be had
cheap.
"The barkeeper having my friend
in mind, asked to see the watch and
turned it over to my friend, who inn
mediately recognized 1t as his. Turn
ing around he inquired how much he
asked for the timepiece. The thief
recognized his late victim and made
a bolt for the door, taking good care
TO leave the watch behind.
Now being of a peaceful disposl-
ton my friend let the matter 80 at
that. Can you beat it,"
