During the last four years, in 
other words ever since Greenville 
his had a tobacco warehouse, 
there have been enemies of the 
market at work doing everything 
they could to undermine and 
break down the tobacco interests 
here- Every conceivable 
has been to induce 
people to carry their tobacco to 
either Wilson or Rocky Mount. 
Farmers have been told that the 
here were buying 
tobacco and shipping it to those 
markets and making money on 
it and other kinds of equally fool 
and false methods have been 
rt a ployed to lure away 
Greenville. To all of these 
Wilson tobacconists say that 
nearly halt of the crop 
has been that section 
If that is the case then Green- 
ville will lead Wilson this year 
by a good majority. 
We were mistaken in our state- 
Friday that no warehouse- 
man here had shipped tobacco to 
Wilson. We asked one member 
of each house not king it 
necessary to see them ail. 
Saturday one of the warehouse- 
men said to that he wanted 
to say that after trying all the 
markets to see how they were, 
so much of the high 
prices of Wilson he shipped three 
packages there just to see hew it 
sold, on the three packages 
he lost just even ninety 
dollars- This evidence is rec- 
if wants mote 
on the subject if he will up 
ply to as we will him to th 
parties who did the shipping and 
selling. 
If the business men of Green- 
will now go to work and take ad 
vantage of the opportunities in 
sight to make Greenville a 
town it will not be the 
close of before we will have i. 
a city of more than five thousand 
people. Manufacturing 
of various kinds could 
good business management be 
carried most successfully 
A canning factory to work up the 
fruits and vegetables 
are here in abundance 
could be made to pay 
dividends. Our cotton interest 
would justify a cotton factory. 
Our tobacco interest would win 
rant the successful operation

has just reached us that demands 
an explanation and a 
tho writer as he is the 
one this time implicated. We were 
told by a farmer Thursday that he 
had been told while in Wilson 
a few days ago that that O. L- 
Joyner was shipping tobacco 
from this point to Wilson and 
money on it. This was 
used as an argument to the far- 
mer to show to him that it was 
best to carry his tobacco direct to 
Wilson rather than sell in Green 
where it would be bought 
And eventually shipped to 
sod sold at a profit. To this 
we only have to say that we have 
asked every here 
if he ever shipped tobacco to 
son to be sold they all say 
positively they never did. So far

TO THE TOBACCO FARMERS 
Just stop, think, consider where you can 
best protect your interest in 
of your Tobacco crop. 
For four year we have worked hard and spent our money in building 
and placing the Greenville Tobacco Market in the front rank of the 
Markets of the world. Since Greenville first had a To- 
Warehouse we have been on the grounds working day and night 
to acquire the best possible knowledge of how to sell the farmers 
co to the best advantage and now after four years of difficult toil we 
want to say to all who have tobacco to sell that we believe we are in a 
better position than any Warehouse firm in Eastern North Carolina to 
get the highest market price for your product. So with this we make 
our politest bow asking for a continuance and an increase of your pat- 
only upon the strictest business merit. We have no special pets 
to whom fancy prices are given at the expense of less favored ones but 
our undivided personal attention is given to every pile of your Tobacco 
and if your interest should at any time be neglected our attention only 
needs to be called to it and cheerfully and willingly all wrongs will be 
righted. Our opinion is that Tobacco is selling very well for the 
offered and from now on we expects lively market. So when you 
get ready to sell just hook up and drive straight to the old reliable 
headquarters for high prices, good averages and all 
round courteous treatment. 
Your friends,

one of the most prominent 
in the county, a staunch Demo- 
and represented Pitt several 
times in the Legislature. He 
was also for years a member of 
the Board of County 
and was on the Board 
that took charge of the county

THE ESSENCE OF PUERILITY, 
Early last week following 
appeared in personal column 
of the 
C. A. Carter, a tobacco buyer, left for 
Kinston Monday evening. The boys 
say he found this market too high for 
him. 
The Kinston Free construes 
this item to be upon the 
Kinston tobacco market and takes 
to throw off a lot of 
bile that seems to have lain 
on its liver. After raving a 
bit about Greenville 
and sharks cheating the far- 
and how much 
detrimental to the Green- 
ville market it has suppressed the 
Free Press closes 
We have acted courteously towards 
other markets and we are disposed to 
continue doing so, but if other markets 
want a fight they have only to attack 
the Kinston market. The first stone was 
thrown by 
It was a display of more 
than we thought the free 
Press could be guilty of- 
your soul, in printing that item, 
which was purely a personal note 
in the personal column of 
Reflector, the idea never once 
occurred to us that even 
had a tobacco market. We 
at the train bunting for personal 
items, as is our daily custom, saw 
Mr Carter leaving and upon 
where he was going were 
Kinston, and noticing some of the 
tobacco boys around the depot 
having a bit of Inn and chiding 
him because, as they had put it, 
tobacco was too high for 
here, carrying out their spirit of 
merriment the item was printed 
accordingly, without 
caring what the party was 
to Kinston for, or whether he had 
ever been th before. 
However, this ebullition tin 
part of the 
show that as has tin 
best tobacco market in Eastern 
Carolina it is envied by the small 
and they seem to de- 
light in an opportunity to show 
their spleen- But Greenville has 
built up its business strictly on 
merit and without 
at other markets and will 
continue to pursue the tenor 
of v. Four good ware- 
houses, high prices, of 
money and reliable business men 
are our drawing Cards.

things indicate lbs drift 
sentiment outside of Washing- 
ton is the frequency with which Demo- 
assemblages have of lat been 
adopting resolutions in favor of free 
Cuba, the latest and most 
instance being the New York State 
Democratic convention. It was noted 
also with pleasure that Senator Gray, 
of Delaware, was Instrumental, as their 
chief counsel, in getting the Co re- 
arrested near . Dela- 
ware, O course 
it was in his capacity as a r, and 
not as chairman of the commit- 
tee on Foreign that Senator 
Gray befriended those Cubans, tut all 
the same it has taken as a straw in- 
much. It is argued that Sen- 
Gray would not have become the 
counsel tho c Cubans if lie had not
