Annual Meeting Bf Stock-

The annual meeting of tho stock-
holders of the Farmers Consolidated
Tobacco Company was held today in
tho Star warehouse, with a large at-
At this meeting a
was adopted the
dissolution of the company in
with steps taken at previous
meetings, and a distribution
of assets, amounting to per cent,
was paid to the stockholders, the
being reserved until some
affecting the company Is set-
It is expected that an addition-
per cent or more will be paid
as soon as these matters are ad-
justed.
The dissolution of this company,
being carried on for ten years,
in which time the original
were paid per cent in
is to be regretted, and many of
the farmers connected with it were
heard to so express themselves. Still
there had arisen conditions under
which it was not wise to continue
without a change in policy, and op-
position arising to a proposed
of tho company on a some-
what different basis, dissolution was
considered as tho best step under
these circumstances.
Mr. O. L. who was
dent of the company during its
and who at personal sacrifice
threw his whole energy into building
It up, labored unceasingly for Its
and the large benefit the farm-
derived from it was due mainly
to his efforts. No one more
than he that a lack of earnest co-
operation led to the dissolution of the
company. It Is cause for
to the farmers, however, that
in the sale of the property Mr. Joyner
purchased one of the warehouses, the
Star, and will continue to run it. His
association with the business will
mean much for the strength and ad-
of the tobacco market.
Not Halting on Lumber Dealers
Mr. G. B. W. Hadley started out

on his house is proceeding rapidly.

Already a large number of shares
have been spoken for in the coming

to people in building or buying a

equals It, for the money that would
to be paid for rents is very near-
enough to make all payments
to carry it through the build-

little over six years the obligation
Is wiped out and the property be-

The Reflector dislikes to mention
a matter that hints of trouble, but
if there is not a change In the con-
duct of some colored people around
town trouble is likely to occur. They
seem at times to almost take
session that portion of Dickinson
avenue from the terminus of Ninth
street to the Atlantic Coast Line depot,
and people are often annoyed getting
and from trains. In addition to
complaints of this, we have heard
people who live beyond the railroad
say dreaded to come

bunches of them. This is a
that should be corrected, and
the better class of colored people
should help to correct it.

served for a temporary breeder the
second year he has the following re-
He has the pigs from
gilt, say seven on an average, and
the pigs say ten from his old sow
which will be a year old at killing
lime and the second farrow from his

makes him thirty-six hundred pounds
of meat and the ten twelve hundred
making forty-eight hundred
pounds of meat which at ten cents
per pound brings four
and eighty dollars. Besides
has about one hundred pounds of
lard and twenty-seven livers over.
Mr. Caps tells me that he actually
did that well last year and that as
now has his sow and sixteen
for next year. He always uses a
sire of one of the recognized breed
of hogs.
Who can beat Mr. Caps Here Is
a man who Is really doing something
worth while and he lives in the no

upon good land and does not shut

If any farmer in Orange
will take a few minutes he will real-
that he himself is each
year an enormous tax or loll to bad
loads; and it is a tax which not only
does not yield any return at all, but
does himself and his property a
harm.
Suppose we taken a man whose
property is assessed at
the proposed bond Issue If the
maximum rate Is charged of cents
en the worth of property his
road tax for the year will be 13.50,
no poll tax and no labor tax. At
present his road tax Is 12.50 and
days on the roads and proportion of
the poll. Rating his labor at per
day, he is now paying tax and
part of his poll. the bond is-
sue he will pay less tax than M
is now paying. the present
system he is paying what I have re-
to above as the enormous tat
to bad roads. Let us sec what it is.
A man who owns worth of
property usually has a team of two
horses or mules. Say this man lives
miles from market, and makes one
trip a week during the year. Ha
usually makes more than this. In
going to market over the present sys-
of roads he can only haul one-
to one-fourth the amount which
can haul over a good road. It
I Mm one lo three hours longer
to go and return from market than
it would over a good road; so that
en each trip we will say he loses
throe hours of himself and team in
going to market and carries only
half a load. Thus he would have
I to make two trips in order to get
i the amount to market which he could
i carry over a good road with one trip,
and on the two trips he would lose
I six hours. Now any man and team
Is worth at least cents hour.
Then six hours lost at cents an
hour is which each farmer
practically loses in each trip when
he markets his produce. Averaging
his trips during the year at would
make bis tax to bad roads
which Is about what the average farm
paying tax on worth of
property loses during the year In ac-
i time of himself and his team,
loss of time In not being able to
carry a full load, to say nothing cf
the wear and tear on his team and
harness and vehicle, the lack of op-
of attending church when
desired, the impossibility of his
reaching school regularly, and
lack of opportunity for carrying
on the social intercourse which is
necessary to the life of every
man being.
I Another tax he pays to bad roads
is that In case of severe illness it
Is practically impossible to obtain
j a doctor in any reasonable time, so
his family is constantly running
a risk of losing their lives in cases
; of emergency because of the
I cal impossibility of getting a
there within a reasonable time
over the poor roads. All these latter
phases cannot be reckoned in dollars
and cents.
If you own less worth
of taxable property you can divide
the above sum and get what you are
paying to the bad roads. If you own
more than worth of property,
you can multiply the above
and get your tax to bad roads.
you going to submit to this tax long-
because it does not come in ac-

comes out of you, out of your team,
out of the net earnings of your farm,
