THESE IS A REASON FOR CHEWING
REYNOLDS' SUN CURED, TOBACCO
TOBACCO IN DURHAM.
Durham, X. C., October 6. —The
Christian church congregation of this
city has purchased Main Street Metho
dist church, and 'twill be occupied by
them within 12 months provided the
new Methodist church in the central
part of the city is completed by that
time. Main Street church has a splen
did location and the Christian people
themselves exceedingly four
tunate in purchasing the church at
such a small price—B6,soo. The Main
Street Methodist church would be torn
away but for the fact that the late
Washington Duke considered it his
favorite church and was a member, for
this reason it will stand as an emblem J
to him % The new church to be erect
ed by the Methodist congregation will
be a handsome structure costing near
8150,000. Rev. T. A. Smoot, pastor,
and W. H. McCabe a trustee recently
returned from New York, where they
considered plans and attended to oth-1
er business matters concerning the
new church.
Probably the largest break of tobac
co that has been conducted on the lo- j
cal market this season was that of j
yesterday. The farmers seem to be
pleased with the price that is excep
tionally good, and much better than
it was a year ago at this season. Even
the poorest grades of tobacco is bring
ing a splendid price and for that rea
son the farmers drive to Durham from
the surrounding counties in large num
bers.
Rev. E. R. Leyburn, pastor of the
Presbyterian church returned
yesterday from Baltimore, where he
has been spending several weeks at
John Hopkins Hospital. Mr. Leyburn
was operated on for something like
tumor of the stomach, his condition
is greatly improved and he hopes to be
able to fill his pulpit soon.
May Only Send 600 Troops.
Washington, Oct. 6.—Owing to the
satisfactory aspect of affairs in Cuba,
Secretary Taft has been asked if in
liis judgment it is necessary to send
more troops than 900 now on board
tie transport Sumner, due in Ha
vana today or tomorrow. He has not
yet responded. Meanwhile prepara
tions continue for the dispatch of the
entire force of 5,500 men as origi
nally planned.

The season's first cold
may be slight—may yield
to early treatment, but the
next cold will hang on
longer; it will be more
troublesome, too. Un
necessary to take chances
on that second one. Scott's
Emulsion is a preventive
as well as a cure. Take
scon's mm
when colds abound and
3 r ou'll have no cold. Take it
when the cold is contracted
and it checks inflamma
tion, heals the membranes
of the throat and lungs
and drives the cold out.

Chewers becoming tired of heavily
sweetened sun cured tobaccos caused
REYNOLDS' SUN CURED to quick
ly win from the old brands of much
longer standing the place as favorite with
sun cured chewers, because it contains
iust enough proper sweetening and fla
voring to preserve the quality of the leaf
and enhance its goodness, causing a large
increase in the demand for sun cured
tobaccos.
REYNOLDS'
SUN CURED
is not only pure sun cured, but it is made
from choice selections of the genuine sun
cured leaf grown where the best
cured tobacco grows. It is like that you
formerly got, costing from 60c. to SI.OO
per pound, and is sold at 50c. per pound
in sc. cuts; strictly 10c. plugs, and is the
best value in sun cured tobacco that can
be produced for chewers.

Frank Brouwer, who until his arrest
several months ago on the charge of
wife murder, was a prominent practic

ing had been aroused to a marked de
gree by what has come to be known
throughout a large par: of the State
as the "Brouwer case," and in some
places, particularly in this county, the
line between Dr. Brouer's accusers
and the defenders, -ias been shaply
drawn. One outgrowth of this is a
fund of $2,500 which has. been con
tributed by the accused man's friends
to aid in meeting the costs of defense.
Mrs. Brouwer died September, 1905.
Soon after the funeral rumor began
to spread that there was something
suspicious about Mrs. Brouwer's
death.
The body was exhumed December
19 and an autopsy performed. The
digestive organs were sent to Dr.
Genth, of the University of Pennsyl
vania, for analysis of the contents.
Dr. Genth is said to have reported
that he found traces of arsenic and
what was supposed to be ground glass
in the stomach.

GREENSBORO HEWS
AID HAPPENINGS
Greensboro, Oct. s—Miss Myrtle
Coble, daughter of Mr. George W.
Coble of Burlington, and a member
of the senior class at the State Nor
mal and Industrial College, in this
city, died suddenly at the home ot
her father Sunday. She had expect
ed to re-enter lae Normal at the
opening of ,the fall term, but was
detained at home on account of the
illness of her sister, Miss Mary Coble,
who has typhoid fever. She was 23
years old and was highly esteemed
by all who knew her.
Owing to the alleged misrepresen
tations made in the Industrial News
by its editor and by Republican State
Chairman Adams as to statements
made by Mr. Justice in his speeches
list week, Mr. Justice invited Judge
Adams or . Editor Douglas to meet
him on, the hustings in Guilford in
joint debate, so that the people could
have the benefit of hearing both
sides and getting the truth. In re
ply to this challenge Chairman
Adams yesterday afternoon sent Mr.
Justice, not an acceptance of his
proposition but an offer to divide
time with him at an appointment in
Albemarle, Stanley county in the
Eighth District, on Oct. 13. Ot
course Mr. Justice had no authority
to accept this, without consulting his
State and Congressional chairman
and he had never presumed to chal
lenge Judge Adams outside of his
own territory. Immediately upon re
ceiving Judge Adams' invitation Mr.
Justice mentioned the fact that he
had no authority to go out of his
own county where he was a candi
date for the legislature, and re
newed his request that Judge Adams
meet him in joint debate in Greens
boro or anywhere in Guilford county,
any time he might discuss
the issues. •
