Her Voice Is Her Fortune.
In Russia there is always a
great demand for little folks who
can sing especially well. Girls
who hare sweet, clear voices are
cherished far beyond the care they
receive in other countries on that
account. Boys with notes a
thrush are also gathered in.
The night before Christmas in
all the Russian churches, there is
to be a very large assemblage
of people. The altars are
fully decorated with candles and
with images of the Christ child.
Up to midnight serious services
are held. Suddenly at the stroke
of the midnight bell, grave
worship ceases.
The church is brilliantly lighted,
and as the flood of illumination
becomes more intense when the
bell strikes, a child's voice is heard
pealing forth the Christmas an-
them, Kristos
in the sweet, clear voice that has
been nurtured and loved and
coaxed. Those of this land who
have attended the service say that
it is worth a trip across the sea to
hear the wonderful child voice
sing the Kristos solo, followed by
the grand choruS of a hundred
childish voices that have been ten-

A Correct Shampoo.
A dermatologist of high stand-

pure soap, such as of the
best quality, or soap,
made into a lather on the

and rubbed into scalp with tho

scalp is very sensitive borax and

beaten in a pint of lime water, are
recommended instead of soap and

washing out the hair with plenty
of warm water, or with douches
of warm water, alternating with

quantity of or

to take the place of the oil that has
been removed by washing, and to
prevent the hair from becoming

For a Young Folks Dance.
Refreshments for a young folk's
dance can be either cake and ice
cream, the staple and always
grateful frozen delicacy; fruit and
wafers, cake and lemonade, crack-
and chocolate served with
whipped cream, or sandwiches and
coffee or bouillon, if the weather is
very cold. These things are quite
sufficient and a piano the entire

Qualities of Linen.
The main qualities in a good
piece of linen are regularity in the
weave and in the yarns used; ab-

leathery feel; firm and supple at
the same time; brilliancy and a
clear white in bleached goods.

For Victims to Household Cares
So many women are willing
on the altar of household
duties, merging their lives into a
humdrum round which at its end
leaves them in the dark, while
those for whom they have
so much forge far ahead.
Neglect of household duties is not
the price to pay for mental enlarge-

items will save many an hour that

well as a loving wife and devoted
mother.
That Monstrosity, the Hoop.
The magnitude of the hoop which
flourished as the
under Queen Elizabeth, returned
early in the eighteenth century.
The hoop is said to have made its
first appearance on French
stage toward the end of Louis
XIV.
the heroines of tragedy had, from
the time of Corneille, been greatly
given to increase the amplitude of
their skirts by artificial help.
They eagerly adopted the fashion

ladies who visited Paris after the
peace of Utrecht The well-abused
monstrosity reached its greatest
extravagance on the stage in both
France and England.
The Fashionable Voice.
The freak of fashion in London
now is at the voice.
Formerly one of the characteristics
of a lady was her voice; it was
low, well-modulated; poets
and novelists bestowed this charm
upon their heroines. Bat now the
fashionable voice of the day is
high, shrill and strident; an
imitation of American
intonation would best describe it,
says The Queen. These voices
come not from the outer ring of
the circle, but from the charmed
inner ring, tho highest in rank be-

If over I saw a man
in love it was Dr. Farnsworth
with my friend Charlotte Palmer,
who was visiting mo in my
little home, where I lived with a
most indulgent husband and two
darling children.
A bright, beautiful girl was
Charlotte, tall, slender and grace-
with soft brown eyes and
chestnut hair that looked golden
in the sun. Her hands and feet
were marvels of small
and her voice the
sweetest ever heard.
The doctor was our next-door
neighbor and family physician.
He was thirty-five years of age,
tall, handsome, and of command-
carriage. When I introduced
to my friend I saw he was
greatly impressed by her beauty,
and I immediately found myself
making all sorts of plans for their
future, though many times in my
hearing Charlotte had declared
her intention of remaining in a
state of single blessedness, she be-
that to be the only truly
happy state, free from cares and
responsibilities.
Observing the doctor's
of Charlotte, my husband
asked her why she did not marry.
She laughed and declared
she had not a serious admirer in
the world and would not give up
her freedom for any man living.
Dr. Farnsworth came to
our house and seemed never to tire
of looking at Charlotte and list-
to her fresh, sweet voice. I
saw he was rapidly losing his
heart, and felt anxious for him.
but the dear girl never betrayed
word or look that she knew
aught of bis feelings, and when I
bantered her she replied that Dr.
Farnsworth cared nothing for
he only meant to be kind and
help us to pass our time pleas-
Thus several weeks passed, the
doctor continuing his attentions,
sending daily the most beautiful
flowers and taking Charlotte for
long delightful drives. One morn-
he came to me and gave me
his confidence. He said he loved
my beautiful friend beyond ex-
and desired above all
things to make her bis wife; he
had determined to ask her
very day to share his heart and
home and wanted my good wishes
for bis success. He left me full
of hope and faith for tho future,
but soon returned looking crushed
indeed. Charlotte had most
refused him, declaring she
did not love him and hoped he
would never refer to the subject
again.
I did my best to comfort the
doctor, begged him not to despair
and told him thought perhaps
would change her mind.
He I shall never
ask her again. I could not go
through such an ordeal more than
once. I love her and would de-
vote my whole life to her, but she
will not have it so and I must
abide by her I felt
thoroughly provoked at Charlotte
and plainly told her so. She ex-
pressed regret, but said it was
for her to marry Dr.
and she thought he
ought to be grateful to her for re-
fusing to give him an unloving
wife.
Some time passed, and we saw
nothing of the doctor; he seemed
to have forgotten us. My
band went several times to bis
office, but did not find him; he
was out making professional vis-
its. Charlotte was not looking so
bright and happy as usual, and I
began to wonder if she repented
her decision, but thinking silence
the best policy I avoided the sub-
One morning we were on the
lawn playing chase with the
when Charlotte took off her
slipper, throwing it at me,
good she said, but, strange
to say, the slipper disappeared,
and though we hunted in every
direction we could see nothing of
it. After every spot had been
searched, I sent my servant into
Dr. garden, to see if
the tiny shoe could have fallen
there, but she returned without it;
there was not a trace of it any-
where. We were greatly puzzled,
and never ceased to wonder what
became of the slipper.

Distilling Roses in Turkey.
We stopped before a khan to
look at a distillery and rose field.
In front of a long shed six large
stood over the brazier,
and into these vessels about
worth of roses were put with
warm water. The iron tubes
through which the vapor escapes
passed through a long tin
shaped like a trough, which
was filled with cold water, and be-
low which large glass bottles stood
to receive tho first distillation.

It affects everything near it and
the perfume clings tenaciously

the peasants cannot endure the
perfume they themselves

PRESERVE ITS SANCTITY.
There is no paper in North Car-
that the Reflector
ates more than the Charlotte Ob-
server. It is ably edited, its news
service is unsurpassed in the State,
and it is forging ahead of all
other State dailies. But on two
occasions within the last few
mouths the has sot a
that is less commendable
than appears at first blush.
It is the custom of the daily
papers of this State, because of
employees to observe
Thanksgiving Day, not to send out
any edition on the morning follow-
that occasion. On the morning
after last Thanksgiving Day the
Observer came out in its usual well-
filled and newsy issue. For this
it was applauded by many of the
State press as showing enterprise
in not allowing patrons to lose
an issue-
Again it is the custom of daily
papers in this and the large
majority of them in other States,
not to issue any paper on Monday
mornings, this custom being due
to the observance of Sunday and
not performing any work on that
day- On Monday morning of last
week the Observer made its appear-
filled with very interesting
accounts of the Sunday meetings
of the great Moody revival then in
progress- in Charlotte. It was
again applauded for being so en-
as to give its readers
an extra issue-
Now we infer that in order to
bring the Observer the morn-
after Thanksgiving the em-
of the paper had to work
Thanksgiving Day, and to come
out on Monday morning its em-
were compelled to work on
Sunday. Now what may be ex-
as a result of this Other
papers in order not to be consider-
ed less enterprising will be follow-
the Observer's example, and by
the time a few more years roll
around rather than be behind in the
race they may be appearing
every Monday morning and
mornings after Thanksgiving.
The observance of Thanksgiving
Day is in obedience to
issued by the President of
our Nation and Governor of our
State, both of whom request the
people to abstain from the pursuit
of their usual avocations on that
day. The observance of the Sub-
bath is in obedience to the com-
of the God of
Creator himself, who said
member the Sabbath day to keep
it holy. In it thou shalt do no
Such things as will cause
a violation of these days,
ally the Sabbath, should be avoid-
ed.
The Reflector says not one
word of this for the purpose of
or censuring the Ob-
server, but wishes only to argue
against the tendency of the age to
drift into the foreign born practice
of Sabbath non-observance Very
there are hundreds of papers
in the country, especially in the
large northern and western cities,
which no more regard or re-
for the Sabbath than for any
other day, bat we do hope that our
North Carolina folk will not de-
part from the custom of holding
the Sabbath in all its pristine
purity-

right to ask for and expect exalted
places as any other State f Is
North Carolina so inferior to other
States that she must be ridiculed

or The Reflector is not in
with the general scramble
for office now prevailing, but when
it comes to insinuating that North
Carolina is not just as good as any
other State, that her people are
less competent to fill exalted
than the people of other
States, and that we have no men
of equal intelligence with those of
other States, such insinuation
ought to be rebuked. To cast
such a reflection upon his State as
as this in the Dispatch marks bad
grace in a North Carolina editor-
Mr. Cleveland is beset by office-seek-
Most of them should know for
the next month or so the administration
will be occupied in selecting the division

The above reads all right, but
the amusing part of it is that while
the editor was giving such advice
to Southerner readers, he was him-
self in Washington to get his
claims before Mr. Cleveland for
the Tarboro Maybe he
wanted to persuade all the other
applicants off he could run
up and get the prize.

sailing, however, in the Western
District, as the candidates for the
are numerous and a
spirited contest is going on. Mr.
Glenn, of who
was likewise a Cleveland elector-
at-large, is being pressed. He
has been in the city for several
days, but has gone back home.
Some potential friends came here
with him, and they put in heavy
work. The Winston Board of
Trade has just sent on a handsome
endorsement of Mr. Glenn, and
that, of course, will have weight.
Mr- Elias, of Franklin,
who has been such an enthusiastic
Cleveland man for years and
spent two weeks here, is another
applicant. He has the advantage
of a personal acquaintance of long
standing with the President and
was the only avowed Cleveland
delegate to Chicago. The papers
of Mr. Elias are in the hands of
the Attorney-General, and it is
known that he has strong letters
from North Carolina State officials,
local politicians, and newspaper
editors of his section. The friends
of Mr- Elias claim that this is the
only office he wants, and they
bank largely on his chances-
Captain of Asheville ; Col
Covington, of Monroe; and
Colonel Jones, of Charlotte, are
also candidates. The latter held
the position during the last Dem-
Administration and comes
under the rule which it is said will
apply to the
BEACHING FOR THEM.
The best foreign mission given
to any North Carolinian when Mr.
Cleveland came into office eight
years ago fell to ex-Governor
Jarvis, who was appointed Minis-
to Brazil. Aspirants from the
State are reaching out for missions
again this time, as well as some of
the fattest of the consulates. Mr.
Pendleton King, author of a life
of Cleveland, would like to wake
up some fine morning and find
that his name had been sent to
the Senate as Minister to Turkey.
He was once before the Secretary
of Legation at Constantinople,
and is pulling hard to get on the
top notch this time.
The Grecian mission has
for at least two North Caro-
according to the gossip
floating around here. Mr. F.
Brevard of Charlotte,
has been mentioned favorably tor
this high and honorable position,
and is classed among the aspirants-
Friends are recommending him
highly are pushing his claims
before the Department of State.
THE MAS FOR IT.
Professor Alexander, of the Col-
at Chapel Hill, is a North
Carolinian whose friends insist is
the very man for the Greek mis-
though it is not stated that
any formal application has yet
been made for his appointment.
He is being talked up, however,
and the point is made that ho is
not only a splendid man of general
accomplishments, but he is a
Greek scholar. Mrs- Me
is also a lady of refine-
who speaks several modern
languages.
The talk among North
here is that Mr- Carroll, of
Sampson county, has the inside
track for United States Marshal
for the Eastern District of the
State. There are other candidates,
but it is said that Mr. Carroll has
practically endorsements which
are likely to land him into the of-
he seeks.

The North Carolina delegation
in Congress do not appear to be

of leading positions are to

United States attorneys, marshals,
etc. Still there are no
in the delegation, and every-

A CONFLICT HERE.
North Carolina is also reaching
out for several big consulates, and
one of the cases comes in conflict
with the aspirations of General
Peyton Wise, of Virginia. Mr-
Hale, editor of the Fayetteville
Observer, is an applicant for the
consul-generalship at Paris, and if
he can't get that his friends say he
will be satisfied with the Liverpool
consulate. During the last Dem-
Administration Mr. Hale
was our Consul at Manchester,
where he had a chance to make an
excellent record, and in addition
to the acquaintance formed is now
reputed to be standing him well,
as he is understood to have
backing from business
organizations in Now York,
ton, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and
many other large cities. It is said
that Mr. Hale at first intended
plying for the consul-generalship
to London, but that was promised
to General Patrick Collins, who
has been appointed, and now Mr.
Hale will be willing to go to either
Paris or Liverpool. He comes in
contact with another Virginian in
the Liverpool matter, as it is said
Mr. James Gordon, of Albemarle,
aspires to that position. It will
be seen that there is a prospect
that somebody is to be knocked
out in one or the other of the two
States that want these big
Two people from the same State

Although Senator Gorman
did not intend his remarks for pub-
it is but justice to him
and the members of the committee
that they should be made public.
This caucus committee had no
to say that this or that
Democratic Senator should not
have committee positions to which
they were entitled by seniority, be
cause of their views upon this
that question, and had it attempt-
ed such a thing its works would
have been repudiated by the
which had to approve its re-
port before it went into effect. It
is only in Republican papers that
there is any antagonism between
President Cleveland and the Dem-
Senators. No
over office with a
more harmonious party at its back
than the present, and neither the
President nor any prominent Dem-
in Congress expects or sees
any indication of anything to dis-
the present pleasant relations
between the President and the
party, in and out of Congress.
Statements to the contrary, if run
down, will be found in every case
to have originated either with a
Republican or a journalistic sen-
Certainly no one can raise any
reasonable objection to the rule
made by President Cleveland that
no person should be sent as. U. S,
consul to an important commercial
place who is not a thorough
man- It will not be
to go outside the Democratic
party to find capable business men
to fill every consulship maintained
by the Government.
Democrats should be extremely
careful about accepting as true
statements concerning the
of President Cleveland which
appear in Republican papers. A
little consideration will convince
them of the improbability of Re-
publican editors and
dents being taken into the
of Mr. Cleveland. A case
in point was the sending broad-
cast by Republican
dents, a few days ago, of the
statement that Mr, Cleveland
had said that Democratic editors
need not apply for office, as he
had made up his mind not to
point them. Now, Mr. Cleveland
never said any such thing, and the
nearest approach to a foundation the
story had was the President's
remark to a Congressman that
take their chances with
other applicants. In order to
press the falsity of this statement
upon Democrats Mr- Cleveland
took especial care that the first
nomination of a postmaster sent
to the Senate by him should be
that of a Democratic
Robert B. Brown, Pa.
If there had been any doubt of
the wisdom of sending a
to Hawaii, which has been
done by the administration, it
would have been dissipated by
the talk of the Hawaiian
after they learned that a
commission would be sent to make
an investigation. It is evident
that they fear the result of that in-
; consequently the
which has existed for some-
time in the minds of a few people,
that the whole business has been
conducted upon a one-sided basis,
is increasing very rapidly. Hon-
est and straight-forward people
never object to the most rigid in-
of their acts. It is
ways the other sort of fellow who
draws himself up and asks
you mean to cast aspersions upon
my honor, President Cleve-
land only wants what the people
want, about this Hawaiian
whole truth, and
but the truth, and ex-Congress-
man Blount is just the man to get
it.
Now that the crowd left here by
the inauguration has almost en-
gone, the President and the
members of his cabinet will have
more time to devote to their
duties, and the result will be a
large number of appointments in
the very near future- As soon as
all of the assistant Secretaries in
the various departments are
and confirmed, the
cants for position under them will
have a chance to get their claims
considered.
It is expected that the
of Pensions will be appoint-
ed before the first of April, as it is
that Mr. Cleveland is par-
anxious for a speedy
change in that office.
THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER.
Wilmington Star.
Governor of Missouri,
was a successful business man; and
made a fortune by his and
sagacity, before he became
nor. Speaking as a man of
he puts thus on record his
opinion of the value of the local
paper to the community in which
it is

means, does more for his country
than any other ten men ; he ought
to be supported, not because you
like him or his writings, or not
Supported because you dislike him
and disagree with his writings,
but all should support a local pa-
per because it is the best invest-
a community can make; it
may not be brilliantly edited or
crowded with thought, but
ally it is more benefit to the
than the teacher or preacher.
Understand me, I do not say
ally or intellectually, but
ally ; and yet on the moral
you will find most of the local
papers on the right side. To-day
the editors of the home papers do
the most for the least money of
any men on
This is literally true, and truer of
the papers published in small
towns and in the rural districts,
sometimes called country papers,
which depend almost altogether
on local support, than it is of the
papers published in large cities.
There isn't a paper published in
North Carolina, however
cant it may be considered, which
isn't worth more to the community
in it is published than the
community pays for its support-
Omitting the dailies, there are
weekly papers published in North
Carolina, some of which compare
favorably with weeklies published
in any State, which are worth many
times as much. The work that
they do is not appreciated, but if
they ceased to exist their value
would soon be discovered and ac-
Local papers are not always
as good as they might be, but in
such cases it will generally be
found to the fault of the people,
who do not support them as they
should be supported. The better
a paper is sustained the better it
can be made, and the better the
paper is the better it speaks for
the progressiveness, business thrift
and intelligence of the community
for which it speaks. A man may
subscribe for and read a half dozen
papers, but the one that ought to
have the first claim on him is his
home paper, not altogether on ac-
count cf it, but as a matter of local
pride and local interest. He
should take pride having a
creditable journalistic
of in which he
lives. It is business, too.
The Man Who Doesn't

A prominent New York De mo-

Mr. Cleveland now asks as to any

Cleveland, I can tell you, has dis
covered that it is becoming a
ion not to drink; that the men who
do not drink are the men who do
the greatest things in this world's
affairs. He has discovered the
value in commercial and in
life of the man who does not
drink. He knows that there are
some railroad companies who will
not a man in any capacity
who drinks at any time ; that no
railroad company will permit its
to drink during the
hours of service, and that the
value of a man who does not drink
is each year increasing in this
country. He has discovered, I
think, that it may be worth while
to apply this principle to politics,
and to discover whether or not a
man is worth as much for public
office who does not drink as he is

Don't Increase.
As the time of planting draws nearer
the Reflector would urge the farmers
to let their cotton acreage be small. The
reports from some States indicates that
many farmers will follow the suicidal
policy of making the cotton acreage this
j year the largest on record. Just so sure
I as this is done cotton will next fall bring
the lowest price on record. The farmer
whose head is level will make his cotton
crop small, while he looks well to in-
creasing his grain and meat crops. Bet-
not raise a lock of cotton than to have
a big crop and sell it for less than the
cost of production.

Oh lovely fragile bit of moss.
You take me back to other days.
My heart grows young, again I tread
With dreamy thoughts forgotten ways,
Where sloping banks are clothed in green
And tall trees arching meet o'er head.
I gather pink arbutus sprays.
Half hidden by its rough green leaf,
I pick the pale anemone
Whose downy buds a fragrance breathe,
Absorbed from balmy winds that blow
Through hemlock tall, and black birch
tree.
Once more I pause with pulse
By the clear spring, whose waters cool
the rocks bubble up;
Then lose themselves in spreading pool,
Upon whose banks the mullein tall
Provides for me a drinking cup.
Oh golden days of long ago
How dear thy memory seems to me,
How far away those woodland scenes,
From this fair home beside the sea,
Where life is drawing to its close
Neath sunny Southern skies serene.

tobacco market offers to energetic
business men who are willing to
make the best of life for them

out of it that is worth
the time of firing as the following
information Messrs. R-
W. Royster Co., to whom the
Greenville market is largely in-
for their liberal purchases
at standard prices of all grades of
the weed, have purchased the
large four story prize house of
L. Joyner and will erelong-,
season, make it one of the nicest
as well as one of the most com-
buildings in Eastern
North Carolina.
Now what does this mean for
Greenville It means this, that
they are here and have come to
stay. If these gentlemen, who
were strangers in the town of
Greenville before Sept 1st, 1892,
the opening of the Greenville and
Eastern Warehouses, can afford to
make an investment here of so
much importance, then does it not
seem natural that the property
owners of this town who have an
interest at stake ought to take one
step toward erecting more prize
houses to supply the demand that
there will be for them the coming
season. In another column will
be found a carpenter's statement
of the cost of building prize houses
of different sizes. Examine these
closely and help us help you-
A few weeks ago we published
an article in which it was asserted
that the success thus far achieved
in the way of a tobacco market
here were due principally to the
credit of the farmers of the county,
that the majority of the Greenville
Warehouse stock was subscribed
by the farmers. Some of the mer-
chants of the town think different-
and for the benefit of those who
are not informed on the subject
we have examined the stock books
and find the subscribed and paid
up stock to be as follows

Frequent complaints are made
by a great many that the

that their money is but it
must be remembered that a great
improvements have been made and
paid for out of the profits, a prize
house has been built and an

to begin to make something and

That concern is due me and
I cannot get it. It keeps back
about that amount all the time
and you see I cannot afford to lose
it what can I do
That is but a sample and thou-
sands like it could be quoted if
necessary. The trust is forging
the chains around the jobber
closer every year- Its contract of
April which the jobbers are
required to sign in every State
where the law will permit, is the
most of all. The jobber
who signs that signs away his per-
independence. He virtually
turns over his store to the dicta-
of the most exacting
this country has ever known.
The contract is so written that it
seems enough upon tho
surface, but when it to the
courts there is much between the
lines which the casual reader does
not see at first- Thousands of job
are now doing business

say that out of every
would gladly be free from its ex-
actions if they could. But it is too
late. The trust now owes them re-
bates which the jobber must for
if he violates the contract in
the least. That is the plain
of affairs at the opening of
1893.
Now what is to be done I Thou-

a great danger which threatens
the entire tobacco trade. But re-
the trust was a liberal pat-
of the advertising
pages. When we felt it our duty
to oppose its manner of course, all
such patronage was withdrawn.
The jobber who regards the future
of his business of any value to him
or to his family cannot do a better
thing for himself than to refuse to
handle trust goods of any kind.
So long as he does handle them so
long he is helping to forgo his
own prison chains- No matter
what amount or rebate may be
due, to protect himself the jobber
cannot do a better thing than to
refuse out and out, to handle the
goods of any concern whose
of business threatens,
ally, to destroy his entire business.

The ladies had no objection to
show these boots, and still being
under the influence of common-
sense, objected to their dresses
trailing on the ground when they
were out walking. The next step
was to have a scarlet petticoat
over the flannel and other under-
clothes. This scarlet petticoat
came about half-way down the
calf, and over it was worn a skirt,
which when out walking was
drawn up by a cord in festoons
coming a little above the scarlet
petticoat. To this costume was

PROBLEMS FOR JOBBERS TO
The Southern Tobacco Journal.
The yoke which the cigarette
trust is fitting around the necks
of the tobacco jobbers is
more irksome every day and
will so until the jobbers
make a determined stand against
it It is safe to say that three--
fourths of all the jobbers hand
ling trust goods are thoroughly dis-
gusted with the methods employed
by that concern and would gladly
be free if they could rid themselves
from its clutches without personal
damage to themselves. An anti-
trust cigarette manufacturer, was
in a Western city lost week selling
cigarettes. One of the largest
jobbers Sir, I am thorough-
tired of the exactions of the

Again the comes
What is to be
There is but one way of relief
and that is to break away at once-
The jobbers are complaining now,
but if the American Company fol-
lows the policy of trusts in
it has not tightened its grasp
on the trade half so close as it will
in a few more years, if allowed to
go on unmolested. Take the Stand-
ard Oil Company as an example.
Did it not completely freeze out
every thing, manufacturer and job-
and set up its own agencies in
every town large enough for a job-
What is to hinder the Amer-
Tobacco Co. from doing the
same thing. After you have push-
ed and handled their goods for a
few years and advertised them
thoroughly the chances are that
some fine morning your mail will
bring you an announcement that
the American Co. has decided to
open its own supply houses in
your city and where will you be.
For being faithful you may get
your rebates in full, but you will
be a Othello, without an
occupation indeed.
The Southern Tobacco Journal is
no in the agitation of this
matter, but writes from facts which
are plain to every reader. The
American Tobacco Co. is a menace
to the entire tobacco trade and
every calm thinking man knows it.
That concern has already secured
a complete monopoly in the
chase of cigarette leaf. Before the
formation of that Company there
was from to buyers of cigar-
tobacco on nearly every loose
market in the East To-day the
American Co. has one buyer on
each market and gets its supply at
its own bid. That is the first
great act of this great concern by
which it robs the tobacco growers
of Carolina and Virginia out of
nearly annually.
When originally formed four
years ago the trust consisted of
the following
W. Duke Sons Co. Durham;
Allen Richmond; Kin
Bros-, New York; Goodwin
Co., New York; W. S- Kimball
Co., Rochester.
Since the formation the trust has
absorbed other firms and to-day it
