The first bill indictment found at a previous term of court wan quashed noon. hot almost immediately the present grand jury found another bill, and it is under the latter that the trial is proceeding. When the case called this afternoon the battle began in earnest. Mr. Moore for the defense offered four different motions, each in turn being over- ruled by Judge Ward. The first of these motions for abate merit on the ground that the alleged second marriage occurred in the State of Virginia, it was not in the jurisdiction of a North Carolina court to try the case. The second was asking for a bill of particulars as to the the time and place of the alleged second marriage. The third was to quash the last bill of indict on the ground that grand jury finding it was the same table at a hotel in Kinston. He asked where he was going to locate and the latter replied have not decided W. L. testified that Longfellow visited hit. store in Stantonsburg on the 17th of March and in a conversation told him he was going to marry a lady named Miss Bruce Swift. A. t.

She testified that Longfellow first went to her home one night in March to ask her consent to his marriage to her daughter, Miss Bruce. Her decision was deferred until next morning, when he called again. She gave her consent to the marriage on certain conditions, which he accepted, but no time for it was set- She next saw him when he came to her home from the evening train one day in May, Miss Bruce having come Prior to the time the American Tobacco Company entered Japan we had very little trade on this grade of leaf in country. With the advent of the American concern into the however, they created a demand for cigarettes for the most part made of the. typo of tobacco in The con- of this grade of leaf, under the aggressive activities of the American Tobacco Com- grew by leaps and bounds, and by the year 1903 our ship- of leaf to Japan had crawled up to the respectable total of 4.420.591 pounds.

This partly caused the of tobacco for that formerly obtained in this try, and the of the whole matter is prices are themselves to these changed and going back to merely normal figures.

Joyner, of Greenville, who is admittedly an authority on tobacco, makes interesting comment on the culture of tobacco in North Messrs. For the last few years it ha, been perfectly apparent to every close observer of the sales of tobacco on the western North Carolina markets that thin white tobacco was growing less less in demand. During the tint few years of tobacco culture in this section of the state, white, or is known as men colored tobacco, was in greatest demand and told for fancy prices, for some cause the demand for TO THOSE CONTEMPLATING WITH THE ALDERMEN the manufactured product e from this type of leaf to drop off. In the meantime, stimulated by the higher price of white tobacco, farmers ed their chief attention to the production of this type of tobacco, with the res-ult that more of this type of tobacco made than there was demand for and con- the price fell off. Farmers learned from expert that the highest white tobacco was by priming off the tobacco early and curing color which changed after lying in bulk a few weeks to a very beautiful light color. This method was practiced to such an extent that since 1900, although the crop is now not transplanted much, if any, earlier than it then, yet it is taken the and cured from fifteen to thirty days earlier. type i f tobacco for the last two years baa paid the cost of production and as type of tobacco, it will be Been it has been, to say the least, an unprofitable crop.

The result will be an utterly different class of tobacco from that we are now making and a class the manufacturers say they want- Let's make what they want and a little bit less than they want Grow all our home supplies. Market the crop in a seasonable and reasonable way and not throw it all on the in three or four months. Do this and in my opinion it will be the medicine that will produce a cure. Tobacco is selling much better now on the Kinston market than was the case at the beginning of the season on August 1st. There is not so much change in sand lugs, but the better grades are now freely marketed and while possibly the sum realized is not so great, in some cases, as in former years, farmers are generally satisfied and in some cases gratified at the outcome. But it has become more and more apparent that considers- I such as referred to in the ab clipping must receive greater attention.
