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

The 57th annual report of the regis- trar gencral of marriages, births and deaths in England and Wales in 1894 has just. been published. His statistics are baséd on a population estimated to number in the middle of the year 1894 30,060,763 persons (14,565,660 males and 15,495,103 females). The number of marriages registered was 226,449, corresponding to a rate of 15.1 persons married per 1,000 living. The rate in 1893 was. 14.7, and the average rate from 1884 to 1893 was 14.9: ‘This recovery coincided with a slight fall in the value of British exports, and with a fall in’ the price of wheat of 15.3 per cent. below that of 1893, which had been the lowest on record. Of the marriages contracted in 1894 155;352, or, 686 per 1,000, were celebrated according to the rites of the Established church, and 71,097, or 314 per: 1,000 otherwise. Of the stated in the register the mean ages were 28.41 for men and 26.15 for women. The figures for 1894 show the first nota- ble break in the increase of the mean age at marriage, which has been going on for several years, Thisis not accom- panied by any increase in the propor- tions. of under-age marriages. Births during the year numbered 90,289, and were in the proportion of -29.6 per 1,000 persons living, being the went on record, and showing a fall 2 per 1,000 below the mean rate in or “preceding decennium. The deaths amounted to 498.827, a proportion of 16.6 per 1,000. The average rate in the preceding ten years was 192.: The death rate in 1894. was considerably lower than in any previous year on several age groups were not only ¢on- siderably lower than the mean rates in the previous four years, but were also lower even than the exceptionally low rates of 1888 and 1889. The death ‘ate in the urban districts was 17.1, or | more than 15 per cent., and in the rural districts 15.6, or nearly 11 per cent. | The, deaths from smallpox numbered 820, : or 27 per 1,000,000, as compared with 49: per 1,000,090 in 1893. The scarlet-fever |- rate was the lowest, and the enteric. fever rate almost the lowest on record. On the other hand, the diphtheria mor- tality was 53 per ‘cent. above the decen- nial average. “The deaths attributed the ‘highest rate on record.—Chicago Inter ‘Ocean. oo SPRING WRAPS. | |-Capesand Jackets Will Both Be Worn “with the Lattcr in the Lead, It.is too early for yenuine novelties i1 the reigning Style of the season, but o few.models which are at least new may serve as suggestions of things to comc.
