JOYNER. = The rains last week have se- riously damaged tobacco stand- ing on the hill, and yesterday we noticed in several fields tobacco firing up and vetting § diseased ifrom bottom to top. i Mr. T. R. Hodges, of Beaufort, was up last week with a load of bright tobacco. He says he bas cured or will have cured this week thirty-five barns this year. He is satistied with his cures and says the most of it is very bright. He lost a bara Saturday morning by fire. The Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co., the largest plug manufactur ing establishment in the world, [fhe Drummond Tobacco Uo.,and the National Cigarette & Tobacco Co., have been in consaltation in New Yor to adopt measures to head off The American Tobacco Co., suys the Danville suurnad. The war against The American Tobacco Company seems to be waging on all sides. The New Eng. Grocers. Association some time ago refused to haadle. it goods any more and now the New York State Wholesale Gro- cers Association have joined hands with the New England’ Tie cut throat competition that has been going on between The American Tobacco Co. and the plug manufacturers inthe West we are afraid will result in gvod co no one. Tobacco that a short while ago sold for 30cts by The American Tobacco Co. and a similar brand for the same money by Tue Drummond Tobacco Co. is now on the markets at 24 and 25 cents. Whenever one drops the other goes him one better and now they are selling their to- bacco much below the cost of manufacturing it. What will be the result? They can’t continue at this rate very long and if they they will be compelled to get their raw goods cheaper. We keep the price as it is at present| \ \ a GO we WAIT FOR ME. a GOOD TO BUY MY FALL & WINTER FRANK WILSON, The King Clothier. hope these matters will be adjust- ed satisfactorily, and very soon, because there is no health tn such spiteful competition as this and asa result of it innocent parties will be made to suffer.

Lately a criminal convicted of killing two women and at- tempting thelife of a thizd was twice sentenced to be hanged, one time for each murder, and to fif- teen years’ imprisonment for the attempt at murder, and what is now puzzling the officers whose duty it is to execute the sentences is whether they will hang the man a couple times and then im prisou him, or imprisop him for fifteen years and then hang him a couple times.--Wilmington Star. in a recent lengthly editorial the Washington Post expressed & wish to see the whipping-post re-established “upon a vigorous and permanent basis.” The idea is shocking, no doubt, to latter- day humanitarianism but it is sound, through; and throuch. The whipping-post is one of the greatest conseryators of the peace and goud order of society that the buman mind has ever devised, and we would be de-— lighted to see it re-established in North Carolina upon the basis that the Post suggests : vigorous and permanent.
