Notice to Tobacco Growers.

Notwithstanding we have been un-
avoidably delayed in getting our
material to build our plant. and the
current rumOr we would not he able
to transact business this season, we
are pleased to announce that we are
now rapidly erecting the structure
with view Of opening from II TO tile
18th of November next, and mean to
announce by the LIST day of November
the exact day for our initial sale.
We trust that every tobacco producer
will carefully consider the enormous
saving in expenses of practically one
dollar per 100 pounds, our mark
ct VIII show over tie regular hhds,
market and we earnestly invite Il
studious comparison in prices. Our
market is not founded upon the
sympathetic words. home Institution,
but upon the rock ribbed business
principle Of getting more for the same
article. Tie price you get for a COM
modify does not always represent the
money you receive. The cash your
tobacco brings is not the sale price,
but the net proceeds depend on the ex-
penSe necessary to market same. Ii
we are correct in our approXimat ion
of one dollars difference per 100
pounds in sale expense, and we are
sure, if the individual expense ac-
count of going in person to hhds.
market to make said sale OF tobacco
of ten TO fifteen dollars lie added: then
allotJing 1000 pounds to be the growth
of the average producer we would
have in our favor nearly two dollars
per 100 inst cad Of one dollar as prev
iousIy mentioned. Nor is this all, the
paramount advantage as mbeded i'm
the fact that any manufacturer will
pay much more for all article lie can
thoroughly examine than for one the
closest scrutiny and the best of skill
can't possible determine its worth.
We now have buyers on the ground
with additional promises and ne will
do every thing possible TO make our
market second to meme,
Now Mr.. Farmer there is one thing
you must know and that is the fore
runner of good prices is proper claSsit-
cation, ordering and handling of your
tobacco. If this one all important
feature is not observed you cannot eX-
pect anything like satisfactory prices
for the weed and the very few mora
moments required TO finish your pro-
duct is but Il twinklc rs compared to
the suicide of the labor required to
mature it to the critical stage men,

Bring your tobacco to your own
market not necessarily mine nor the
stock holders but / o yours, and bring
it in the best possible condition, and
we will use every effort in getting the
highest market price. Thanking you

day Of life, even another hour of 1t, for
when the finger touches me, instantly
on the tick of the clock. Is there any
way to. correct this injustice? Can
anything be done?'
Nothing could be more simple" re-
piled Randolph Mason. You are pres.
ident Of this insurance company; are
you not?"
why, yes. l am still its president"
replied Curtis.
And you doubtless have funds OF
the company subject to your check
continued Mason.
Il am trustee" answered the in
valid, Tor the entire surplus fund of
the company deposited in the Regent
National Bank Of America"
Then" said Mason, there is the
remedy in your very hands"
An expression of despair returned to
the mans face, SO briefly lighted with
hope.
Il have thought carefully of that
he said, "and there is no remedy in
that direction. If l gave my wife a
check for any portion of this trust
fund, she would doubtless be criminal
ly involved after my death for receiv-
ing embezzled moneys. If I lifted this
mortgage from her property with the
money, the directors of the insurance
company would, when such facts were
discovered after my death, instantly
seize the property and sell it to make

believe that my services to the COM
pany are worth a living to my family.
At any rate. now, In the face of death,
| would so use the money and take my
chance on the right of 1t before the
Judge over the frontier. I would not,
to save my own life, take these trust
moneys Of the company; out to save
my family from poverty I would take
them If there were any way to do it"
There is a way to do it," said Ran
dolph Mason. How much money will
it take to satisfy this mortgage?'
The invalid opened a tin dispatch
box IN the table before him, took out
some papers and looked over them a
moment.
Two hundred and -four thousand
and seventy-five dollars" he replied,

friend, the State Boss, good for it?
Why, the thief has a million dollars
in one building on Twenty-third street,
In their consuming interest in the
matter my presence was apparently
overlooked, and l stepped softly
through the door. These men did not
realize its full significance; to them
it was merely vengeance visited by a
dead man on his enemy, a payment
to a ogu in his own pocket-pieces;
but to one who knew all the facts,
Randolph Mason's plan had worked a
larger justice. Mason had seen In
stantly that, If this mortgage could
be lifted, Mrs. Curtis could sell the
clear, and she could take the money
out of the country and conceal it. The
only problem was to get the cancella-
ton Of the mortgage on the records.
This check on the trust funds did that
and yet left the taker of it liable t o
the assurance company, which owned
the funds. Suppose it were technical
ly a crime in Richard r. Curtis thus
temporarily to appropriate the moneys
held in trust. He was dead and no in
jury would come to any one innocent
of wrong. A dependent woman had
her property returned to her; a skull
king rogue had his own knife in his
ribs, and the Assurance Company OF
North America would receive its
money with usury. i saw now why
the dying man looked upon Randolph
Mason as a providence of God.

things as they occur In nature. wish
to lift a mortgage from this property;
in order to do that l pay the holder
Of the mortgage a certain sum. That
sum is taken from the moneys of an
other. How can 1t be that the mort
gage is thus lifted, the holder OF 1T
paid, and yet the funds of that other
not taken, and the holder of the mort
gage not paid? Such things may be
possible in a land Of fairies, but not
here, not in New York. Good cash
paid over a bank counte does not
turn into chips under the pillow OF
the wicked, neither does an account
in bank renew itself like the widows
curse. l beg you to tell me what you
mean
III you will give me a sheet Of pa
per-" replied Mason, Il will show you"
The sick man pointed to a writing
pad on the table with a per and ink
stand beside 1t. Randolph Mason
rose, went to the table and wrote rap
idly for a moment. Then he laid the
written page before Mr.. Curtis.
Copy that" he said, 'in your own
hand. Seal 1t and give 1t to my secre'
tary, Mr.. Parks, to lay before your d.
rectors when 0 are dead"
The sick man turned painfully in his
chair, put his elbows on the table,
propped up his heavy, putty-colored
face in his swollen hands and read the
paper. Again and again he lead it.
When he looked up finally his face
glowed.
Il see it." he said, as though speak
ing to himself, II see it,"
Then he sat for a considerable
time, holding the paper in his fingers,
his mind intent on this new aspect Of
the case. At length he turned back
to the table, laboriously copied the
paper, enclosed 1t in an envelope, ad-
dressed it and handed it to me.
II consider this thing" he said, Ito
be a providence Of God"
"On the contrary" replied Mason;
ut is a mere principle of law"
I followed the sequence OF events
with the keenest scrutiny. The news
papers contained no notice of the sale
of the house on Riverside Drive by
Richard R. Curtis; but l found a deed
of sale on record showing a cash o
sideration of two hundred and twenty

State Ross, with a nice upper cut, from
his coffin"
He seems, on the contrary" re-
piled il of the directors, to nave
landed on us. His last oiHcial act
was to hand over the company's money
to this politician"
Yes said the lawyer, but this
payment has a quite sufficient string
to 1t. 1t is explained fully in his let
ter. Mr.. Curtis advises us that, in or
der to wipe out a personal debt, a debt
legally but not morally just, he has
given the man a check on the funds
of the company. He begs us to OBJ
serve hat this check directs payment
to be made by the bank out Of the
funds of the Life Assurance Company
of North America, and that it Is signed
by him as the trustee Of such funds.
He begs us further to observe that this
payment is, consequently, plainly on
the face of this check a payment with
trust funds. Therefore, this politician
takes nc title to the money which he
will receive by it, and must pay 1t
back to the company
Il do not quite understand" said
one of the directors.
1T is all entirely clear" replied the
! lawyer. This check is made payable
on a trust fund. 1t shows on Its face
that it Is drawn or moneys belonging
to the Assurance Company and not in
dividually to Richard r. Curtis. This
notice Is set out fully in the body o.
the check. The signature with the
word, trustee, attached, confirms the
trust nature of the fund upon which
It Is drawn. Now, these political leech
es have grown so accustomed to being
fed on insurance money that they have
come wholly to overlook the law. Nc
doctrine of the law is better settled
than that a trust has no power to pay
out trust funds in settlement of his
private debts, and n who takes trust
funds, with notice of that fact, &C
quires no title to them and can be
made to restore them. The peculiar
wording of this check gave full notice
that 1t was drawn IN trust funds. The
person who cashed it was thereby
fully aware OF hat fact and, conse'
quently, he must restore this money"
But" said the chairman. lis this
politician good for that amount?"
What" replied the lawyer, "our
