Fire Works for Christmas.

J. W. Scott & Co. .
To Raise a Fnnd of $100,000.
Dr. Charles D. Mclver, president of
the State Normal and Industrial Col
lege, has undertaken a task which
means a great deal for the poor girls
Of North Carolina who are without tbe
means of securing a higher education,
and are thus denied the privilege of
fitting themselves for the stations in
life it was intended they should oc
cupy. He proposes to raise $100,000 to
be used as an interest-bearincr food to
educate from 50 to 100 students atHhe
Normal each year. To secure this
large amount of moony. Dr. Mclver
will endeaver to . find 1,000 men and
women who will contribute $100 each.
This will mean an average of about
ten persons to each county in North
Carolina.
; When the money shall have been
raised it will be turned over to a board
of trustees for investment in the name
of the State Normal and Industrial
College. The interest only will be
used each year, and it is estimated
that this will defray the entire college
expenses of 60 students or half the ex
penses of 100 students.
The plan has met with favor in tbe
eyes of all to whom it has been men
tioned, and a - number of persons in
Greensboro and Guilford county haye
made subscriptions of $100 each. Dr.
Mcjver hopes to secure a majority of
the subscriptions before the next com
mencement at the Normal.
Another Home Insurance Company.
The Southern Loan and Trust Com
pany has added an insurance depart
ment to its business and is now pre
pared to insure property against loss
by fire. While under practically the
same management, the new company
will be entirely separate and distinct
from the two other Greensboro fire
insurance companies the Southern
Stock Mutual and the Underwriters of
Greensboro. Vhile the two latter com
panies pay dividends to policy holders.
the new company will be operated
along the plan of tbe old line companies.
Few people realize the benefit of home
insurance companies to the business of
the section in which they are located.
Through their operations thousands of
dollars are annually kept at home
which would otherwise go to foreign
corporations. The Greensboro insur
ance companies now have an aggre
gate of nearly half a million dollars
loaned in North Carolina which, if it
were not for their existence, would be
placed in Northern and other states.
Suit has been entered in the United
States District court at this place
against tbe Supreme Council of the
Royal Arcanum and Mr. B. N. Smith
to stop the payment to the latter of a
life insurance policy of $3,000 on the
life of Mr. F. B. S. Smith, his son, who
was killed in a railroad wreck two or
three years ago. Young Smith had the
policy made out in the name of his
father, but afterwards married and
neglected to have it changed. After
his death his widow claimed the policy
and suit was brought in the Superior
court of this county to test the matter.
The case was carried to the Supreme
court, which recently rendered a de
cision in favor of the dead man's father.
His widow now seeks to get possession
of tbe money through the United States
court. A preliminary bearing will be
held befoe Judge Boyd on the 22nd
inst.
TOBACCO NOTES.
Items of Interest to the Grower, the
Dealer, and the Manufacturer.
MABBTKT RXPOKT.
The receipts on our market for the
past week have been large, and but for
Thanksgiving we think they would
have been very heavy indeed. The
quality of tbe offerings for the week
has been the best of tbe season, and
quite a large proportion of very desir
able tobacco for manufacturing pur
poses, with a good sprinkling of good
to fine wrappers oo the sales. Prices
on all grades are fully up to the high
water mark with a considerable
amount of activity in the market and a
gradual advance in prices.

troubled with piles since." It's the

The crowd attending court is con
siderably augmented today by tobacco
farmers.
Mr. H. W. Johnson, of Chatham
county, was here with tobacco a few
days ago. Our warehousemen and
buyers are always glad to see the Chat
ham farmers.
The Pittsburg Press says there are
over one handred firms in that city en
gaged in the manufacture of stogies.
The largest of these produces 75,000,-
000 stogies every year.
W. P. Pickett A Co, of High Point,
have come on this market to buy leaf
tobacco for their factory in Hi eh
Point. Like all other High Point in
dustries, their plant is successfully
operated.
The retroactive tax case, through
which tobacco manufacturers hope to
get back a large sum of money from
he government, is expected to come
up before the United States Supreme
court soon.
Messrs. L. L. and F. F. Scoggins, of
the McLeansville section, made splen
did sales on the Greensboro market a
few days ago. The former sold two
grades of wrappers at $20 and $35 and
the latter one grade at $39.
Mr. W. J. Blackburn, who went over
to Stoneville to represent the Ameri
can Tobacco Company, found the
tobacco on that market of too dark
a grade for his company's use and has
gone to Pilot Mountain to buy for a
few months.
Among the Alamance growers here
with tobacco within the past few days
we noted the following: Sawyer &
Chaudler, Joseph Ross, A. G. Garrison,
Sterling Foster, E. A. Smith, J. W.
Loy, W. T. Barham, J. W. Ingle, Brown
& Kernodle, and Mint Pinnix', colored.
Tbe full quota of Guilford tobacco
farmers have been here during the
past few days. Among them we re
call A. H. Crutchfield, W. F. Dawson,
J. A. Cook, W. B.Tucker, C. E. Roach,
O. A. G. Wood, H. D. Kellam, J. W.
Gray, W. A. Green and D. L. Thomas.
One of the best pleased farmers here
in a long while was Mr. Harvey Dick,
who resides southeast of town. He
was here some days ago with a load of
tobacco and made one of tbe best sales
of the season. He sold 495 pounds at
prices ranging from $6 to $40 per hun
dred. Alamance county was well repre
sented on the market yesterday, and
without exception we believe the far
mers were well pleased. One gentle
man was overheard to remark to a
friend that he got considerably more
for bis load than he anticipated when
he left home.
A quantity of tobacco from the good
old county of Rockingham has found
its way to tbe Greensboro market
within the past week. Some of the
farmers here from that county were :
J. B. Dawson, J. M. Wray, R. D. An
gel, A. H. Williams, T. W. Price and
J. W. Knight,
Considerable interest Is manifested
in the deals which have taken place in
Winston within the past few days
through which the plug factories of
the Brown Brothers Company, P. H.
Hanes & Co. and B. F. flanes fc Co.
hare been absorbed by the R. J. Rey
nolds Tobacco Company. These sales
throw the bulk of Winston's manufac
turing industry in tbe hands of one
mammoth concern, doing away with
the heavy competition on the warehouse
floors.
