NEWS NOTES ON TOBACCO ROW.
Reorganization ofthe Tobacco Board
ot Trade.
BY O. L. JOYNER.
During the last few years the areen-
ville Tobacco market has moved steadi-
ly but not very boisterously along grow"
ing in important and increased facilities
eich year. We have placed no tale
figures at the head of our advertising
~cards to mislead and deceive, but have
qu~etly attended to our own business
without interfering with the rights of
others and the result is while we may
not have so large a reputation as some
other markets, yet the business has been
conducted on such a sate basis, that it
has inspired confidence in those who
want our tobasco and as a result we
have today on the market a class of
high toned reputable business men with
whom it is pledsant to deal in any phase
of business. I donTt want to be under-
stood as reflecting in any way on those
connected with any other market, -for
such is not our purpose. I simply want
to show that by slow accretion Green-
ville has becom one of the foremost
markets of the State and attracted by
by its natural resources, men represent-
ing the largest dealers on this side or
across the water have identified them-
selves with the future ot Greenville.
Coming to Greenville in the latter part
of 1894, Mr. B. E. Parham commenced
buying tobacco on this market. As the
Parham s_ business
increased and during the last two years
market grew Mr.
he has been one of the largest operators
on this market, having bought in that
time between two ard three millions
pounda.
His increased business will cause him

buyers working frcm three to five hun" that at a mceting of the board of in-
dred hands we can proudly remark,
Behold ! we go forward.
At the last regular meeting of the
Greenville Tobacco Board of ~Lrade in
February a committee of six, three
warehousemen and three buyers were
appointed by the Pres.dent to revise th2
constitution and by laws of vhe associa-
tion and formulate a code of laws to
govern the same and report at a called
meeting of the Board of Trade, March
1d.
Among the most important changes
of the ola laws and additions made as
reported by the committee March 19,
and adopted by.the Board are the ful-
lowing. i
We recommend that the Board of
Trade employ a supervisor of sales and
and general director of the market
whose duty it shall be to report all vio-
lations of the laws and regulations of
the association, and act as prosecuting
attorney at all trials. We recommend
that he be employed five months of each
year commencing August Ist and that
he be required to give $200 bond for
the faithful performance of his duties.
A law was pessed prohibiting the
purchase of tobacco at either public
or private sale by the employes of any]
warehouse in the house by which he is
employed.
Prohibiting the purchase of tobacco
a~ any cther place than on the market
by any memver or employee of any
member of the association.
An addition to the law relating to
drumming tobacco after it is m transit
to market was passed making it a fine
of $25 for anyone not a member of the}
Board of Trade who being notified con-
tinues to drum for any particular house,

case is reported claim that the house is
not liable because they are not employed
by the house.
The new lawsas adopted are by far
the best tha market has ever worked
under and there is little doubt but they
will be carried out if the supervisor will
co his duty and he will be pretty apt to
do that or he will be bounced.

: Weakening.
Tt was a beautiful Sunday
morning that dawned over Mon-
terey, a bright, balmy, superb
day, but how unlike the Sabbath
it proved. In Mexico they have
no Sunday as Americans under-
stand and observe the day. There
itis looked upon as a holiday,
and all who choose to do so carry
on their business jnst like on
other days. Leaving our hotel
and going out for a walk before
breakfast we saw a great number
of the stores open, though not all
of them, the richer class of busi-
ness men who wanted to pass the
day at the casinos, clubs or en-
gave in sports having their places
closed.
After breakfasting we started
out again. This time wany people
were seen wending their way to
a splendid cathedral, just across
the plaza from the hotel, where
mass was held at? o'clock. Curios.
ity, and.a desire to see the people
assembled together, impelled us
hither. Asarule the cathedrals
of Mexico wre exceedingly hand-
some builaings, always the most
commanding in appearance of any
structures inthe cities. This one,
though having stood there nigh
ontoacertury and showing signs
of ave, was «til a picture of
grandeur. Its exterior was ofa
creamv color and two tall towers
crowned the front, one containing
a clock and the cther a chime ef
bells. The interior, while showing

moreor less mu tiness from long
~ity indicated signs of magnifi-
cence. The walls were decorated
with exquisite paintings, elegant
tapestries, with beautiful carved
work everywhere. The _ floor,
badly worn and dusty, was laid in
panels with grooves at each end
to permitremoying them. Let us
say here in passing that the

floors is not nowso much in vogue
asin former years, the bodies of
priests or some church officials
being about the only ones placed
there. This may be due to the
fact that the receptacles under
the floors are long since full, and
whenever a body is placed there
it has to go on top of the bones of
one that has preceded it.:
The people gathered within this
edifice at this hour of morning
devotions were a study. Naturally
we had expected to find the upper
and wealthier classes there, but
their absence was noticeable. The
congregation was made up almost
entirely of the middle and peon
classes. These coupled with the
rather antiquated appearance of
the surroundings gave rise to the
thought that the cathedral had
lost much of its prestige and
pomp. Not that Christ did not
die for the poor as well as the
rich"there was no such thought
as that"yet while these people
seemed sufficiently religious in
theforms and ceremonies through
which they were going, to us
there were no impressions of
Christianity in it, The average
Mexican"like the Indian, the
Chinese, and even our American
negro"is decidedly superstitious,
given much toa scrupulous ob-
servance of religious forms and
and ceremonies, but in ninety-
nine cases out of a hundred leaves
behind what religion he possesses
when hie back is turned upon the
sacred edifice.
Roman Catholicism has not the
hold upon Mexico it once had.
Under the administration of Pres.
ident Diaz there have been
marked changes 1n this particular.
Being a man of conseryative and
progressive ideas, he was quick
to observe that a superstitious
priest ridden people are not
progressiye, and it has been his
custom to extend every encour-
agement possible to Protestant
churches, consequently these lat-
rer are getting a footing in the
republic and the more intelligent
and enlightened of the people are
going to them. However, there
is still ample room for work and
advancement in this direction.
We visited another of the ca-
thedruls that was antiquity itsecf,
having been in use for more thav
a century and a half. This build-
ing had a gallery that was reached
by a flight of stone steps whose
worn condition by long service
called to mind that picture in
HaggardTs oShe,� where this par-
ticular character in his novel had
almost worn away the stone steps
jeading to her private chamber in
her daily passage over them for
cwo thousand years. "at

Blocdhound's Keen Scent,
A remarkable exhibition of the
keenneis of scent of the blood-
hound was given at the little
town of Bronsor, in Allen county,
the other day. The town recently
appropriated $100 out of the city
treasury for the purchase of one
of these animals, the purpose
being the detection and capture
of theives who were operating in
the neighborhood, and a test of
the hound was considered desira.
ble, Atnoon three men started
out on foot and walked four miles
into the country. Then they
mounted horses, and by a circuit~
ous route returned to the town.
Six hours later the hound was
permitted to smell a glove which
had been worn by one of the
men, and the next instant with a
deep howl he caught up the trail
and followed it on the run. At
une point the men had walked for
30 yards-ou a fence, and when the
hound came to this point he
carried his nose along the rail
with hardly any reduction of
speed. Coming to the place where
the men had mounted he took up
the trail of the horses and follow-
ed into town, where, in a cruwd
of more than 100 men, he picked
out the one whose glove hid been
given him to smell."Kansas City

Fortune and No Heirs.
Judge Joseph Babcock, one of
the quaintest characters that eyer
lived in Sparta, Ga. died there
Monday. Mr. Labcock came
there about forty years ago from
New York. He arrived a poor
boy, but by frugal mdustry had
accumulated a fortune estimated
at $50,000. He would have no
confidential frionds and not even
his daily associates know anything
ot his history prior to his life
there. For a quarter of a century
or more he has been a jeweler.
He never told any one his priyate
business and no one knows of the
existence of any will. It is con-
sequently presumed that he made
no disposition of his hard earned
estate. In that case his property
would naturaily belong to the
State. He was never married and
had nevey mentioned or written
to a kinsman anywhere. His
religious ideas were as eccentric
as his life, iur while he realized
the existence of a supreme power
he maintained that death was the
grand finale ot us all.

oWhy canTt we raise such pota-
toes here?� were the words uttered
the other day by a farmer stand-
ing by a barrel of imported Irish
potatoes: The answer to this
question lay in the assumption of
inability which was the basis of
the question. Let that farmer get
it into his head that he can raise
osuch potatoes,� and let him use
proper energy, and he will never
