Ordinarily the water stops rising at Greenville about twenty-four hours after it reaches a stand in Tarboro, but with the continued rain of last night and today it is hard to tell when it will stop rising. The rise here last night was inches, putting the stage this morning within two feet of the high water record. Water has reached the top of the dam beyond the bridge, and it has been necessary to haul dirt on it today to keep the dam from washing in two. Much of a rise tonight would be a disaster to it.

WHAT IS THE CON- TOBACCO CO No doubt many people who heard of the existence of an organization known us the Consolidated Tobacco Co. have asked this question. Some have asked it through hon- est motives, really desiring in- formation on the subject, so that if it was found worthy their en- could be given to it. The Reflector was among this class of inquirers, and when the company was first organized in October. we went to Mr. L. Joyner, its president and organizer, and asked him to give us some information about the company and an outline of its policy and purpose. This in- formation was frankly given. We had faith in the man and admiration for his earnestness, we saw such a business policy as he had outlined for the company could be carried out it would in truth be an ideal organization through which the tobacco farmers could protect their interests and better their condition. A result of this information The Reflector then told its read- what it thought of the Tobacco Co. Through the live years since that time we have watched the progress of the company and its methods of operation, and have never found occasion to tin opinion formed of it. n the contrary our faith has grown stronger in it each year, and we do not believe there was ever an of farmers that of- bitter opportunities for their on a betterment than this. We are d to this further ref- to company at this time by reading a 16-page entitled About the Consolidated Tobacco and the advancement of their business interest, then certainly it was their right and privilege as citizens to engage in this business.

Therefore, for these reasons, the warehouse business was selected as a means of organizing the tobacco grow- Concerning the policy of the company we again the information of those who are not familiar with the methods of the company, we deem it not amiss here to let it be known that we are not any light on any organization or business, and while the ware- house has been selected as a means of bringing the farmers together into an organized body, unless we can show to the entire satisfaction of the tobacco grow- that this business can be handled and their interest pro- in this way better than any other, then company does not expect, nor will it de- serve the support and patronage of the have no light with the They can be relied on to do all in their power for their customers, but this company, in addition to opera- ting the warehouses for the of its stockholders, proposes to employ the organization in furthering the interest of the growers, In other words, this company proposes to go about to improve the condition, in looking after the business end of the tobacco farmer's affairs. working surplus in the treasury. It can be truthfully said that this company is doing more than all other agencies combined to promote the markets of Eastern North Carolina, and to make tobacco growing table to the farmers. The farmers cannot realize how much they are indebted to Mr. O. L.

We are sorry the Concord had to discontinue its daily edition because of the stringency of the times. A town does not realize what it is losing in let- ting a newspaper stop because of insufficient patronage to keep it going.

It is now said the tobacco company has decided to give up the fight and withdraw from the State. This means that the company will start a price war with the growers in Kentucky, and the far reaching effect of such a battle has caused consternation among the local tobacco men. According to reports given out this afternoon the American To- Company has withdrawn its twenty-two country buying agents from Kentucky. Further more, it is known that the com- intends to open up head- quarters in Cincinnati. Officials of the American Tobacco Com- decline to discuss the out- come of the move.

The Duty. No higher duty can be ascribed to any reputable newspaper than that of seeing that justice is done, in so far as fallible man is caps- bid of carrying it out. It owes first duty to the public which it is morally obliged to protect. No newspaper willingly offends any but as between its duty to the public and the individual, it should know no man. But the men who are loudest in their condemnation of the views of the newspaper with which they disagree, are the most exacting of the paper in any apparent dereliction of duty to the public. Such men may not openly pro- claim the fact, but they are in reality more appreciative of the paper which dares to express the truth, than of one which commits the unpardonable sin of silence.
