According to on* of the tobacco
men on the local market, there la
considerable underhanded work go
la? on la the effort to laduca the
farm ere of thle county to take their
tobacco to other market?. One ot
the warehousemen haa in the last
?week expelled three men from his
floor because of their "stool pigeon"
?01*. ? ? j
The*? men, who are evidently !n
the employ of other markets, follow
np the sales on the loeal floors.
When a certain heap of tobacco has j
been eold, they make eome remark]
la the hearing of the owner of the,
pile, to the effect that the same to-|
bacco would hare brought consid
erably more money on some other
market, la this way. dissatisfac
tion is spread about and in a num
ber of caoee the farm ere have been
Induced to take their tobacco else
where.
A number of men were at one of
the warehouses this morning, dls
cusslng the market, and one of them
made the remark that one of the
prominent oounty officials, who also
has a large farm In the oounty, had
not brought, a single pound of to
bacco to Washington, but had taken
It all to tke Greenville market.
Considerable unfavorable sentiment
w?s expreseed against the buelnisr
methods that this official employed.

Rocky Mount, Oct. ?.?Flaying
the war ?car? and the Jingoist, fjv
ing many convincing reasons why
this nation might now feel equally as
sccure agalst "an attack as during
the past, and depicting the utter
folly of tome of the lnspured arti
cle? against this nation's prepared
ness, Hon. Claude Kitchln. the ma
jority leader of Congress, delivered
a forceful address to the members
of the Current Topic* club and
many visitors last night, and opened
the fall season with the local liter
ary organisation.
Tho Representative from the Sec
ond Congressional district, who
aambers many friends here, spoke
at some length from the subject of
"Our Foreign Halations." h* pre
sented many phases of the question
of our relation with the other great
powers of the -world, and he plafnlv
pointed out that all of the threat
ened horrors of invasion and of at
tack were periodic In their appear
ance, and occurred Just about tho
time there was a chance for an en
largement of the navy or its con
templation.
The speaker came out clear and
convincing la defense of his poji
ti on In the ma(t?r of..what Id.termed
? the small nary fellows.'' Mr. Kl>
chin clearly outlined that what wax:
needed now to complete the comple-..
ment of our "top heavy" navy was
a greater number of torpedo boats,
destroyers and submarines. That
the thirty-nine battleships already
in our navy or building for early
completion, could not now be given
the protection from torpedo boats
and destroyers that, according (o
naval expert?, would make them safe
to engage an enemy on the high
seas, was clearly-pointe d out, and
if the experts in these matters were
to be believed, the United 8tates
was sadly lacking in the four tor
pedo hosts for1 each dreadnaught,
and that without them the great
craft was powerless.
In closing, Mr. Kitchln made It I
plain that submarines had in a great
measure stopped the old method of
warfare, and bombardment, and
laying before his hearers the point
of what keeps the Oerman fleet In
th? Kiel eanal, and what keep? the
most powerful navie?, almost by ten
times out of there, the folly of the
idea of a great bombardment by
dreedaaaghts of New York city,
while submarine? might be employed
In a repelling of the attack.' was
made quite clear from this point In
comparison.
The reference to the cool-headed
ness and deliberation of th? cbi<f
executive of the nation was received
with general approval and liberal
applause.
