L. JOYNER.<lb />Our friend T. R. Hodges, from<lb />Beaufort county, was in town Saturday<lb />and showed us a sample of his tobacco<lb />plants. They are by tar the largest<lb />that we have.seen this season. Thad<lb />says he has lots of them at home equally<lb />as nice as these he brought up. The<lb />plants were taken from a bed prepared<lb />by a Mr. Tucker, who came to Grzen-<lb />ville last fall from Chase City, Va. He<lb />remained in Greenville a few weeks<lb />and graded tobacco and while doing<lb />this work wn roticed that he was a<lb />remarkably industrious man and as he<lb />was looking for a farm in eastern North<lb />Carolina knowing Mr. Hodges wanted<lb />a man of this type we directed him to<lb />go to see him, with the result that they<lb />traded. In thus securing plants on<lb />equal chances far ahead of the majority<lb />of farmers we are not at all surprised,<lb />for it takes just such a man to suc<lb />ceed at tobacco growing, and unless<lb />bad seasons or some unforseen misfor-<lb />tune happen this man Tucker is going<lb /><lb />to carry off some fancy prices next<lb />fail.<lb /><lb />During the last sixty days all grades<lb />of tobacco from 15 cents up have de-<lb />clined in price and many farmers have<lb />become alarmed at such a turn in pri-<lb />ces, when usually heretofore those<lb />grades have held their own at this sea-<lb />son of the year. We have been asked<lb />quite a number of times what the cause<lb />of thisis. As a matter of fact, we<lb />donTt know what all the militating<lb />influences are, but from the informa.<lb />tion that we can the gain chief cause is<lb />this. Some time last fall several of the<lb />iargest plug manufacturing concerns of<lb />the west decided to go into the man-<lb />ufactur eof cigarettes in competition with<lb />the American TobaccoCo. Their ob-<lb />ject is a matter of course was to make<lb />money but the idea was not suuggested<lb />until the American Tobacco Co. en-<lb />tered into the manufacture of plug<lb />tobacco. The American Tobacco Co,<lb />put upon the market a brand of plug<lb />tobacco called the Battle Ax to com-|<lb />pete with DrummordTs Horse Shoe<lb />brand. The wholesale price of this<lb />tobacco was reduced in two or three<lb />months nearly 6% per cent and it<lb />would be well to state just here that<lb />this great reduction in the price of this<lb />tobacco as a matter of fact lowered the<lb />price of wrappers almost in the same<lb />proportion, as our Eastezn Carolina<lb />bright wrappers was used on this plug.<lb />This is one of the main reasons why<lb />wrappers were so much lower last fall<lb />than formerly. In consequence ot this<lb />the western concerus entered the arena<lb />of cigarette manufacturing. A rep-<lb />etition of the plug war set in be-<lb />tween the Americun ~Tobacco Co. and<lb />these: concerts composed principally of<lb />Liggett &amp; Meyers, Drummond, P. J.<lb />Sorg, Lorilard and others.<lb /><lb />The American Co. in order to meet<lb />their competitors began the manufac:<lb />turing of a low grade cigarette which<lb /><lb />they put upin packages ot twenty for<lb />five cents. The Western men began<lb /><lb />turers of cigarettes in order to make.<lb />| the competition have been torced to<lb /><lb />|cigarettes and during the ~last few<lb />| months no attention has been paid to<lb />American cutting stock except the very<lb /><lb />~llow grades which haye' been. selling|<lb /><lb />hmuch, higher, than formerly.. The<lb /><lb />104<lb /><lb />to advertise their goods in a pretty liye-<lb />ly way and thus the war set in in the<lb />cigarette world. The lower price of<lb />cutting stock is the present result of<lb />this cigarette war in that the manufac-<lb /><lb />|their aecustomed. profits and to meet<lb /><lb />| buy a low grade cutter to use iu making<lb /><lb />investigations and from what we can<lb />learn from those best iutormed on. this<lb />matter there is no doubt but that cut-<lb />ting tobacco will go back to its original<lb />price before another season. Our per-<lb />sonal views are that cutters will be<lb />higher the coming season than they<lb />have been for some time and we donTt<lb />think there is anythmg to cause any<lb />unnecessary alarm.<lb /><lb />onions cance Ao Spat it nn a<lb /><lb />ANOTHER FIRE AT THE MILL.<lb /><lb />_""<lb /><lb />Firemen Cometo the Rescue and<lb />Again Save the Plant.<lb /><lb />About 2:30 oTclock this afternoon<lb />the prolonged blowing of the whistle at<lb />the mill of the Greenville Lumber Co.<lb />told the people down town that there<lb />was fire at the mill. Crowds of peo-<lb />ple hurried out there to find a fire<lb />burning fiercely in the shaving room.<lb />Dense volumes of smoke arising from<lb />the house indicated that there was much<lb />fire on the inside and that a hard fight<lb />woul� be required to subdue it.<lb /><lb />The first of the fireman to arrive<lb />was the Rough and Ready company<lb />with their truck. Their ladders were<lb />quickly up, and two bucket brigades<lb />soon had water going freely on the<lb />house. But the body of the fire could<lb />not be reached by means of buckets<lb />and kept gaining headway until Hope.<lb />Fire Company with their engine ar-<lb />rived a few minutes later, by which<lb />time the flames had burst through near<lb />the eves on one end and side of the<lb />building, and it was a mass ot fire in-<lb />side. All hands then went to work<lb />with the engine and it was only a short<lb />while before the fire was yielding to<lb />the flood of water from the nozzles.<lb />About half an hourTs hard work put<lb />the fire out and had everything safe.<lb />This is the third time the mill has<lb />had a fire in the shaving house and<lb />twice the plant has been saved by our<lb />fire engine. Fortunately there is plen-<lb />ty of water at the mill and the engine<lb />was able to get in good work.<lb /><lb />IN NORTH CAROLINA.<lb /><lb />embers<lb /><lb />Matters Of Interest Over the State,<lb />Ex-Gov.
