10000, 900 Cigars a Year Ship.
ped from Greenyille.

One of the most interesting Of
local industries, one that has
been written of in the Greenville
newspapers on several occasions
in the past and yet one of which
the methods and workings little
are kno% n in comparison to the
textile and other plants and in
dustries of the city, is the Green
vile cigar factory. the plant
owned and operated by Seiden.
berg & CO. The making of a
cigar is a most interesting pro-
cess, and while there is one of
the largest plants in the South
right in the heart of this
city, there are comparative few
citizens who know what the
making of a cigar means or in
what quantities these articles
are manufactured in Greenville.
The Seidenberg factory here
turns out 2o,ooo,c0o cigars an
nually, these being 5 and 10 cent
stock. The output is between
seventy-fve and eighty thou
sand cigars a day, about 400
600 a week.-Daily Piedmont.

A Big Guano Concern.

A dispatch from Richmond
gives corroborative evidence of
the organization of the Inter
State Commerce Chemical Com
pany, of Virginia, which will
have headquarters in Charles
ton, and which has been talked
about in fertilizing circles here
for some time. Only last week
the daily reports of the records
Of the office Of the register of
mesne conveyance showed the
conveyance of the Germofert
companies to the Interstate
company of Virginia of the real
estate and other property on
Mechanic and Division streets
and elsewhere in the county.
All the property and rights of
the Interstate Chemical Com
pany, Of New Jersey, were trans
ferred to the Virginia corpora
tion. and with these prelimina-
ries arranged, the way was
paved for formal organization
of the big fertilizer company,
which was effected yesterday.
The holdings of the company
will be quite large in Charles
ton and the new corporation,
with it's many plants in Green
vile, Charlotte, Macon and
other ploces, will add to the vol
ume of trade here. The inn
portation of the raw material
alone at this port will add to the
imports as the outgoing tonnage
will be increased.
The corporation is capitalized
at $3.50, 900, taking rank
among the big concerns of
Charleston.
The new corporation has &C.
quired the interests of W. B.
Chisolm, of Charleston, who is
president of the company, the
Tilghman Phosphote Company
of Florida, as we'll as the Ger
mofert Company.
A number Of factories are
planned to-be Quilt and operated
and the new fertilizing company
will become an active compet
itor in the market. et.-Charlestor

Signs of The Times

We find this. displayed on the
first page of the current issue of
The Commoner.
J. B. Wyatt. Huntsville, Ala,
writes to The Commoner this
letter: II enclose you a stock
market letter which l clipped
from the Memphis Commercial
Appeal today. l was impress
ed with what the writer has to
say in reference to the presiden-
tial tickets, it bears out YOUR
contention that Wall street
wants either Taft or Harmon.
I am for Woodrow Wilson and
believe he will be the next presi-
dent.
The stock letter from the
Memphis Commercial Appeal is
by Thomas G. Shotwell and is
dated New York. September Is.
The closing paragraph of that
letter follows:
Money was frmer and this
was hailed as a sign Of coming
improvement in business. If
Taft could get the country to
adopt his federal Incorporation
plan there would be no doubt of
a speedy resumption Of trade.
For this reason his series of
speeches will be watched with
great interest by Wall street.
In Wall street, by the way, the
next presidential tickets have
already been made up. Taft
heads the republican ticket and
Harmon of Ohio leads the demo
Gratis. Governor Wilson does
not even get a vice-presidential
nomination.
It did not need a straw ballot
to convince us that MIR. Wilson
is no favorite in Wall street.

this letter in Mr.. Bryan's paper
is just another big straw indi.

Comets Without Thrills.

The astronomers inform us
that six comets are now ripping
through our particular corner OF
the universe. Two Of them are
said to be visible to the man of
ordinary eyesight. Yet the
worlds work and play moves
on undisturbed.
This absence of alarm or even
curiosity is more interesting
than the comets themselves. A
few centuries, or u few decades
ago, the advent of a single
comet was enough to arouse all
the prophets of woe and to
turn a good portion of the earth S
inhabitants topsy-turvy with
apprehension. 1t may be that
the comets have degenerated,
or perhaps men view them
through different eyes and diff
ferent minds. However that
may be, a remarkable change
has evidently come about when
an entire crew Of the sky pilots
can swoop down upon our solar
system without so much as
making us blink our eyes or go
to extraordinary preparations
for the crack of doom.
The truth is, Halley's comet
itself was, on the whole, rather
Disappointing. It's traditions
were so splendidly terrifying
that the world looked for a mon
strous sight to be followed by
all manner of tumult. By an
old chronicler who had seen it
in the sixteenth century, this
comet was described in this
wise:
1t appeared to be Of excessive
length and was Of the color of
blood. At the summit of it was
seen the figure of a bent arm,
holding in it's hand a great
sword, as if about to strike. At
the end of the point there were
three stars. On both sides of
the rays of the comet were seen
a great number Of axes and
knives and blood-colored swords,
among which were a great num-
Der of wondrous human faces,
with bears and bristling hair. "
Now, such a comet as that
would be truly worth while.
Everybody would respect it and
would come out to it's perform
ance. But in these piping times,
alas, six full-fedged comets can
appear without bestirring as
much wonder or superstition
as a rabbits foot.-Atlanta
Journal.

A Tramp's Eloquent Lecture.

A tramp asked for a fire.
drink in 4 s,!oon. The rrqu..>
was rlnted, and when in tn
act of drinking tn prntf"rr'
beverage one Of the @youn. me-,
present said: Stop. nuke lis ;
speech. 1t is a poo: liquor tla'
doesn't loosen a III III 5 ton :uc.
The tramp hastily swal'o Svc
the drink. and as the rich liQuo
course'l through his blood b.,
Strengthened himself and Stoo,
before them with a gr.c. al,.
dignity that al his rags and dir.
could not obscure.
Gentlemen, he said, Il
look tonight at you and myself,
and it seems to me that l look
upon the picture Of my lost
manhood.
This bloated face was once
as young and handsome as
yours.
This shambling figure once
walked as proudly as yours. A
man in the world of men. I,
too, once had a home and friends
and position
Il had a wife as beautiful as
an artists dream. and I dropped
the priceless pearl of her love
and honor in the Wine cup.
Cleopatra-like, I saw it dis
solved, and Quafed it down in
the brimming draught.
L had children as sweet and
as lovely as the flowers of spring,
and I saw them fade and die
under the blighting curse of a
drunkard-fat
I had a home where love lit
the fame upon the altar and
ministered before it, and I put
out the holy fire. and darkness
and desolation reigned in it's
stead.
Il had ambitions and aspira-
tions rnass scored as high as the
morning star, and-soke and
bruised their beautiful wings.
and at last strangled them
that I might be tortured by
their cries no longer.
To-day I am a husband
without wife, a father without
a child, a tramp without a place
to call my home, a man in
whom every good impulse is
dead and all swallowed up in
the maelstrom of drink
The tramp ceased speaking.
The glass fell from his nerve
less fingers and shattered into
a thousand fragments upon the
floor.
The swinging doors pushed
open and shat again, and when
the little group about the bar
looked up the tramp was gone.
