Butler Tobacco Company Filant. The Journal mentioned last week that Mr. J. B. Duke, presi - dent of the American Tobacco Louis, and that ramor nadit he of a plug tobacco factory in that city. The announcement was made a few days ago that the J. G. Butler} Tobacco Company had tecome a branch of the Trust. It was acquired 1n the usual way, a good round sum being paid in cash and the remainder probably the larger part, in stock. Just what the purchase price was has not been disclosed, but 2t is thought that it was million dollars or more. This factory has been turning out several million pounds of pluz tobacco -annually, and the plant is nearly new: An ad- joining lot was also bought by the Trust. Mr. J. G. Butler will continue fin charge of the business of the factory, while the manufacturing department will be under the conduct of Mr. B. Doerhoeffer, of the National Tobacco Company branch at Louisville—Winston Tobacco Journol. The deficiency in rainfall since January 1st, 1895, is over a foot, the exact amount, as giuen out by the weather bu- reau, being 12.66 inches. It is said that these deficiences at one season of the year are al-~ ways made up at another sea- son, hature getting what is re- quired. Ifthis is so and the above shortage is made up be- fore the close of the present year there will most likely be some tolerably moist days be- tween now and the first of next January.

The *:Puff and its Effect. | It is more fun to see a man read a puff of himse'f in a newspaper than to see a fat man step on a banana peel. The narrow minded man reads it seven or eight times and then goes around and _ steals—-.j - propriates—what copies he can. The kind hearted man gcec® home and reads it to his wife, then pays up~his dues to the paper. The successful bvsi- ness man who adveriiscS iog e* immediately starts to find “the editor and then the two men leave the sanctum and. we'k silently and thoughtfully down |the street together, the business man taking sugar in his ad they both eat a clove’ or two, peace settled down on their hearts for the moment.

The only consolation too that the Populist can have is that they have aided the Re- publicans and thereby defeated the Democrats. Only two. States out of the eleven that voted went Democratic. These were Virginia and Mississippi. In Maryland it wasa fight be- tween the Haltimore Sun and Senator Gorman and the Sun 1s on top. It claims that it was fighting for Democracy and that this election makes the State forever Democratic. It is strange logic that the way to make the State Democratic 1s to carry it for the Republicans. It also seems to us bad politics to aid the Republicans to beat Senator Gormam. The thing to do was to beat in his owa party, Ia Kentacky it was a spectacle of a man who was an a yowed free silver man ‘running on a goldSbug platform and in con- seqnence the result is not sur- prising. These two States were the only ones that it was expected would be carried by the Democrats in addition to the two aboye mentioned as having gone Democratic. No party can succed that is not partizan and when people feel like they can vote regardless of party principles, and to gratify personal ends we may expect. just such results as were given us on last Tuesday. Unless there is a decided change a Re« publican will be the next Press ident. ——— EEE A Nash county negro who had served eight terms in the peniten- tiary for stealing chickens aod pigs, got home from that instiiu- tion at 3p-m.,on s recent day> says the Rocky Mount Argonaut, and at 9 p. m., was cacght robbing \I apologize,’’ Humors of the Bike. It isn’t always safe to swear ata bicyclist who is respon- sible for a collision. A num- ber ofa well-known athletic club, riding along at an easy pace, was overtaken by another wheel, which didn’t turn out in time and a rear-end collisiun was the result. When the club mar recovered from the shock he found himself lying on his back with the baggy knee of a pair of trousers across his face. Furious at the stup- idity of the other rider, he struggied to get up, shouting: **‘Why in the devil do you ride like that?’ “Oh, dear! Oh, dear?’ said #@ plaintive yoice. ‘‘I didn’t mean to, mali tangled up.’’ *“*Oh, Lord, a girilf’ groaned the young man. ‘“‘AndI went aud swore at her,’’ and his con- trition increased «hen he picked himself up and saw gaz: ing up at him from around the wreckage a very pretty face, flushed with mortificati on. Lifting the uwner to her ‘eet, the young man tried to apol- Ogize, ‘“Awfully sorry, I thought it was some idot of a man that had runinto me. Thatis er— er—-I don’t mean you're an idiot, you know; if !d Known that you were I wouldn’t have swornat you.
