GREENVILLE TOBACCO MARKET
The Greenville Tobacco Board
of Trade was called together last
Thursday for the purpose of get
a report from the secretary
and treasurer and to ascertain the
number of pounds of tobacco the
Greenville market had sold up to
date, December 21- Mr. Geo. E.
Harrison reported the treasury in
good condition, all bills against
the Board having been paid and
a surplus on hand-
The warehouses then reported
the number of pounds of tobacco
sold on each floor. The Green-
ville warehouse sold since August
Leaf tobacco
pounds. Scrap tobacco
making a total of pounds.
The Eastern warehouse reported
sold since August Leaf
tobacco and scrap
Scrap tobacco kept
separate from leaf, MUMS pounds
making a total of 175- Adding
the sales of the to houses the
Greenville market has sold this
year 1,357.410 pounds, an in-
crease over the entire sales of last
year of ever pounds.
The principal business of the
finished, Mr. J.
Morgan arose and moved that the
meeting vote a and happy
Christmas to all the boys, after
which the Board adjourned to
meet again the first Monday
January.
The report of the warehouses
was a surprise even to the ware-
house people themselves. No
one bad calculated that the mar-
would sell up to Christmas
more than a million and a quarter
figuring, but the above
figures are facts that cant be dis-
Our revenue books are
open for public inspection. At
this time last year the market had
sold a fraction over
pounds and after Christmas last
season we sold a half million
pounds or more. Then we can
reasonably expect to sell nest
year fully as much as we did last
year if not more, which will give
the market two million or
more for the year ending June 1st,
1894. It will not be amiss here
to take a review of the past of the
market, its present standing and
future prospects. The Greenville
market had its first sale in
1891- There was one ware
house here at the Green-
ville, and no prize house at all.
The opening sale was visited by
leaf tobacco men from a number of
markets in this State and Virginia
and the opening day like all other
Sales of the kind was almost a
failure. Lots of tobacco was here
and lots of buyers that day and
the next to buy it, but after
then we were left alone with the
bag to hold. Not a single buyer
was located that time but
the house been built and the
market must be kept going some
how. We had nowhere at all to
prize tobacco except on the ware
house floor until the Greenville
Warehouse Company had a small
prize room built in the rear of the
warehouse. With no prize room,
no buyers, nobody to run the
house, and exceedingly few that
had a cheering word to speak to
the warehouse projectors, nothing
but gloomy prospects for the
Greenville market loomed up id
the future. Finally the Board of
Directors of the Greenville Ware
house Company managed to
cure the services of Man
Evans to run the ware-
house. The next obstacle was
the lack of buyers, so this writer
was at this time keeping
books for the threw up
his job, and pulled off his coat
and with a few others pitched in
as buyers on the Greenville mar
One or two of our mer-
chants thinking there was big
money buying tobacco on this
market and reselling on another
employed buyers to buy for them.
Aft hr a few shipments and returns
-v losses these newly con
i tobacco buyers retired
some the
but much the wiser.
. in this way the to-
was conducted in
i i the first season. The
the Eastern Warehouse
a. . trial house was built a
r and great preparations
were for a grand opening,
and it was, for one
.-, however. The opening sale
. second year was the means by
which enough buyers were in
to come to Greenville to
buy what tobacco was offered and
the market of course made better
progress than the first year. Th
first year remember only
pounds were sold, the second
about a million and a quarter.
The opening sale the third year
was not a very grand affair. The
experience of the two previous
years and the panicky times
vented much tobacco from coming
to Greenville on the opening day.
As times grew better tobacco be-
coming this way and enough
of it has already come to Green-
ville to induce a number of young
though skilled tobacconists to
locate in our town, and the
Greenville market to-day stands
on more solid ground than any
eastern market. We confident-
expect to sell two million
pounds this season and there is
no living reason why we should
not annually increase until ours
will the leading mar
of the State. Young men
have come here and come to make
it their home, men with energy
and enterprise and business
With these three things and
with the natural advantages that
Greenville possesses as a tobacco
center there are but few things
can down it. sincerely
hope to see the day when Green
ville boast of being
the largest loose exclusively
bright tobacco market in the
State and we firmly believe that
day is not far distant. O- L. J.

was held in highest esteem.
There are conflicting reports as

states that he died from some-

and his report,
submitted to Congress this week,
places him in the front rank of
national financiers. Even a cur-
glance over his report, which
makes a pamphlet of sixty-two
pages, will show the enormous
amount of studying he was com-
to do in order to familiarize
himself with the more or less
complicated subjects with which
it deals. He strongly commends
the Wilson tariff bill and puts
forward strong arguments to show
that it will benefit the
country, and reminds the majority
of the House that it was especially
elected to reform the tariff. He
shows the financial condition to
be such that immediate relief by
Congressional legislation is
necessary, and points out that
this may be by authorizing the
issue of five-year per cent bonds,
or by authorizing the Secretary
of the Treasury to use a per
note to run one year, to pay those
creditors of the government who
may elect to them in lieu
of cash-
The predominating trait in the
character of President Cleveland
is in assuming
responsibility for all his acts.
And it was brought prominently
to the front when he sent for some
of his friends in the Senate and
House, while the Republicans
were engaged in trying to make
political capital in both bodies by
distorting the facts concerning
his Hawaiian policy, and told
them that it was his desire that
the Democrats should place no
obstacles in the way of the
fullest investigation of the whole
matter. The reason the
were so anxious to get in
their speeches before the recess
was their fear that the whole
will be entirely settled before
Congress meets again.
The House committee on Bank
Currency adjourned for
the Christmas recess in a dead-
lock over the proposition to re-
port a bill for the unconditional
repeal of the per cent State
bank tax. There were only
twelve out of the seventeen
present when tho vote re-
in a tie. An agreement
or the other will probably
be reached early in January.
The majority report of the
House Ways and Means commit-
tee, which was presented to the
House when the bill was reported
this week, is a long document,
but it will repay careful reading
and study. It takes up and ans-
in detail about every reason-
able objection that has been
raised to the Wilson tariff bill,
and outlines the course that will
be followed by the Democratic
speakers when the bill is taken
up in the House, which will be as
soon as Congress comes together
after the holiday recess. Chair-
man Wilson is anxious to see the
bill put through the House with-
out having to resort to drastic
measures, but fully determined
not to allow the debate to run
beyond the point of legitimate
discussion. The general
among Democrats seems to
that about two weeks will be
allowed for debate, with night
sessions it they are considered
to every member
who desires it an opportunity to
express his views on the bill.
Postmaster General has
not yet decided to give the
contract for the printing of post-
age stamps to the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, but it is
believed that he will do so not-
withstanding the
less well paid a Washing-
ton daily paper in behalf of the
private concern which put in tho
lowest bid for the work, except
that of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing. Secretary Car-
lisle says in his annual report, on
the present this
bureau executes all of the work
of engraving and printing re
quired by the Treasury depart-
and much of that required
by the other departments of the
government. The most
of this kind now
outside of the bureau is the
postage stamps and the postal
notes required by the Post Office
Department. It might he well
for Congress to consider the
advisability of having this portion
of the work of the government
also executed by this bureau, as
it has all the facilities for
ting it and would afford perfect
security to the government. It
would seem to present an
condition of affairs for
the government to maintain a
large establishment for the
of this character of work and
yet have a part of it done in
It would be absurd to say that
the nomination of Hon. Wayne
to be ambassador to
Italy was joyfully received by
Democrats, but the fact of his
immediate confirmation shows
there were no hard feelings on
the part of the Senators.
TREASURY SENSATION.
Washington Post.
Gross irregularities amounting
to of dollars are stated to
have been discovered in the New
York custom house by a special
agent of the department recently
detailed to make an investigation.
His report, which is elaborate as
to detail, has been laid before
Secretary and was yes-
the subject of several
discussion between him
and Assistant Secretary Hamlin,
in charge of customs matters in
the Treasury Department.
The report refers principally to
tobacco refunds, in which the
regularities are alleged to have
occurred. The amount involved
is stated as high as
and gross negligence or worse is
charged against New York custom
house officials.
The period covered by the
fraudulent refund on
co importations is from 1883 to
the present time- The principles
laid down in the case of the
United States vs. as
to tobacco refund have been the
basis on which all proper refunds
have been made. These
it is stated, have been de-
parted from and refunds allowed
illegally and wrongfully.
While the report deals
with the tobacco refund, it
also touches upon refunds made
in the hat trimmings cases, where
it is alleged refunds amounting to
many hundreds of thousands of
have been illegally and
made.
These cases have recently been
the subject of correspondence be-
tween the Treasury Department
and Collector at New
York, and United States District
Attorney Mitchell, of New York.
The matter is deemed of the
most importance in the Treasury
Department, and close reticence
has been observed in regard to it.
Secretary and Assistant
Secretary Hamilton late last even-
declined to discuss the matter
when asked about it But as a
result of this special report, it is
asserted, at the Treasury Depart-
that there will be an
and general shake-up of the
officials sf the New York custom
house.

Mr. J. Holton, of that town. He
took three doses of strychnine late in
the evening and lied In ab Hit half an
hour thereafter. He took the poison in

What Was It
A phenomenon was visible
in the sky Wednesday morning of
last week between daybreak sunrise.
It was said by some to have been the
most wonderful astronomical visitor
ever witnessed anywhere around here.
It must have been the reflection the
sun on the clouds. When it was first
observed it had leached perpendicularly
from the horizon in or
form to a visible of about
yards, about one foot in width at tho
base, to nothing in its spiral
elevation, and the entire length seemed
to be one stream of glittering silver
light. As the ray of the sun grew
stronger, apparition would vary its
dazzling forms in green fantastic
shapes. A great many of our colored
people were a little stirred up over it
and seemed be frightened, some
claiming that they could clearly

plainly make out the letters and W.
It may have been a or comet.
In some parts of the State people
were badly frightened thinking it was
a sign of Judgment day.
Happening on the Rail.
A bad wreck occurred on the Norfolk
road one morning last week.
At a deep cut just beyond Roanoke
river there was a land slide and a freight
train coming along before day ran into

Timed the G. O. M.
The late Sir Andrew
Gladstone's physician, will be missed
on occasions when the G. O. M.
makes an important speech. At
such times as recently at Newcastle,
Sir Andrew used to sit, watch In
hand, to see that Mr. Gladstone did
not speak longer than the limit
scribed by the physician. At New-
castle the time set was one hour,
and at the conclusion of the sixtieth
minute Mr. Gladstone tossed aside
the lost sheet of his notes, while the
physician looked triumphant. But in
the warmth of his oratory Mr. Glad-
stone went on without notes for
nearly half an hour longer, while Sir
Andrew's look of triumph changed
to of mingled perplexity and
amusement. But on feeling Mr.
Gladstone's pulse afterward ho was
able to say that the veteran states-

story at her own expense. She had
been visiting Springfield to attend a
temperance meeting and was rather
confused by conflicting directions to
the place where the conference was
to be held. At length walked
into a large room and settled herself
comfortably, looking about her with
smiles of satisfaction that so many
men were interested in the cause of
prohibition and were present to dis-
cuss it. Then it dawned upon her
as equally strange and not so
