In discussing- the matter of mo- much importance, to the growers of tobacco in this, Slate Just now. Col. " G. E. Webb, editor of The Southern Tobacco Journal.' says among other things; , "It wa In 1901 that the Farmers " Protective Association, at the Instance :-" of Col. 3. Bryan Grimes, Secretary of State, and. ethers, adopted a Plan for , the county corporations that it would be possible to put. Into co-operation readily, and the plan adopted by the t ' association, . which, met at Rocky . Mount that year, was to put organisers into the eld and" et these corpora- - tloni In active business In time to aid In handling the crop for the year. For some reason the organisers were not ! put iota the Held - by the president. -' CoL John 8. Cunlng nam, and Flatt county was the only county that was organised. This compsny went into . actively buying tobacco and has made money steadily besides aiding mate- rlally, In a local way of course. In the maintenance or prices. A stockholder. - In the corporation says that he has ainc received -in dividends on iiuu lock that he Invented f HO. He says that the corporation Is In a prosper ous condition and that he could real "Ise $200 for the 1100 stock certificate," --. It is expected that there will be a large number of tobacco growers here ' for the meeting, which promises to ' be an Interesting as well as Important one. The local committee on arrange ments, made up of members of the board of trade and the Confederate " veterans, are hard at work making the plans for the entertainment of th State reunion, which will be ' held here August lth and 20th. A large number of young ladles is now 'canvassing the city for funds and they re meeting with success. It will take about 11.000 to take care of the vet erans while they are guests of the city. The new Bell Telephone Company . exchange building, on Liberty street, ,' has been completed and the structure 'Wlll probably be turned over to the , company to-morrow. The building is .' one of the handsomest telephone fx : changes In the State. The business of ' flees will be situated on the first floor, the private offices on the second and the exchange on the third. The bulld v Ing cost the company about 112,000. The work of placing the wires un--rderground and Installing the modern equipment in the building will begin at once, and it Is thought that the ntw system will be In working order "by Septenjber 15th. COULDN'T GET BACK HOME. Owing to an unavoidable accident, which cut oft the current and stopped every street cur operating between the Salem creek and Nlssen Park, two hundred or more people were held at ,'. Nlssen Park until after 12 o'clock this morning while the rain descend ed. It was about 9 p. m. when some thing, probably a short circuit, went wrong with the line, and the cars had to stop. It took until 12 o'clock or after to locate the cause of the trouble, la the meantime a number of people secured vehicles and went to the park " for their loved ones. EXTRADITION PAPERS NECES SARY. Special Agent Webster, who Is In charge of the detective force of the Winston-Salem division of the South ern Railway, returned last night from Roanoke, Va... where he went to see If he could persuade Jim Clement, alias Jim Burn, wanted here for lar ceny, to ctfme hack without extradl- tlon papers. The negro ''refused to come with lh officer. It will be remembered that Burns . was arrested in Roanoke a few days ago on suspicion of being the negro who shot' and killed Mr.' JjAiu I). Spencer, of Marclnvlll-, Vh.. In hla home about two years ago, hut It de . veloped that Instead of being Spur geon Hicks, tm negro wanted' for : that offense, it was Jim Burns, want- ed here for the larceny of wveral ' holts of silk from the store of Hitchcock-Trotter Company and probably other thefts. Chief of Police J. A. .Thomas has written to Solicitor Porter Graves to 'take steps toward getting Governor ' R. B. Olenn to make requisition on -the Governor of Virginia for extra dition papers for the negro. It is probable that he will he safely in the hands of the local officers within the, next week.

As soon as hi term here ex pires he will be taken to Sanford to nswfr the charge there. Tbi is the- first court ever held In th newly created Lee county and 4t was held In the opera house. ROEBERIKS GALORE. " ' The number of robherle committed In the Twin City in the last few v"fk, in spoaniiisr. There seem to r decrease, either. Almost every C.y and night some store or residence is entered by thieve and a ougntlty of things taken off. The police have succeeded in capturing quite a num ber of the allele thieve, but there are still several whom they .have not yet captured. ' .- Considerable Interest " Is being manifested' in the probable legislative nominee of the Democratic, county convention to be held here August Z2d. It la said that there I quite a number1 of prominent men in the county who would tike to go to the made ' any formal announcement of hi candidacy. : Among -those men- J tioned f or the Senate are George P. Pell and Mr Frank Baldwin. Sev eral . have been mentioned for the House. ' One sf these is a- prominent young newspaper man, wbo will Tery probably allow Iti name w go be for the convention, though "he c has not stated positively what he will do, aiaira positively- won aw wiu o, tated4o yoir corespondent '.to ' that" he "had pledged, to' him1 at rt onV-tlroasand voter of- Win He nay least ston-Salem. He think it best, how ever, to wait until he can see others before making any announcement of hi Intention A letter received Jiere to-day from Sheriff J. E. Zlgtar, who la taking treatment at Hot Springs, Ark., states that he is rapidly improving and will return home next week. He says mat ne win oe in tne race jor re nomination for sheriff, and will, no doubt, receive the nomination, as he has held the office but one term. COLLECTING ORPHANAGE SUB ; .: SCRIPTIONS. i -The locating commmlttee of the Methodist Orphanage, Mr. W. ' E. Franklin chairman, began yesterday collecting the amount subscribed to the orphanage fund. The first day' work was very successful, all those seen by the collector paying their sub scription. The total amount sub scribed by Winston-Salem citizens to have the orphanage established here Is tli.400. Mr. Franklin stated to day that he hoped to have the full amount In hand within th next week or ten day. The refreshment stand of Will TIse, corner of Fourth and Chestnut streets, was broken' Into yesterday morning about :S o'elock and two pistols stolen. The robber wa frightened a;vay by hearing the voice ef an officer and left one of th pis tols on the outside f the building. There Is a yet no clue to the Identity of the' robbef, Mr., Hugh O. Chatham, president of the' Chatham .Manufacturing Com pany, which ha recently finished the construction of a plant In this city, states that the machinery Is arriving daily and that some of it has already been Installed and tested. Mr. Chatham was not certain when the plant would begin operations, but it will probably be aome time within the next few weeks. At present tile mill at Klkln is supplying all of the orders that 'the company has. There has been a marked falling off In the woolen market during the past few months which has affected the en tire country. George W. Burton, colored, who escaped from the county convict camp u few week ago while the guard was taking hi noonday nap, has been recaptured and is now doing time again for the county. Superin tendent Griffin found the negro plowing for a man near Walkertown. The negro saw the superintendent before he arrived and hied himself to the woods, leaving the horse and plow standing In the field. The of ficer werti to the eage of the woods and kept quiet and awaited the re turn of the negro. He did not have long to wait for the negro, thinking the officer had gone .on,' emerged from the thicket. When he did the ojJicer covered him .with a revolver. The negro has since made an Ideal con vict. WORKING ON FAIR GROUNDS. Work on the new fair grounds is progressing very rapidly jiow.
