in the bath room of Mr. J. M. Baley's
residence on Church street yesterday
morning about 3 o'clock , by Officers
Jordan and Crutchfield, who responded
to a telephone call for help. Priestly

and had wandered into the house with
out knowing what he was doing. The

back porch, and the negro's presence
there was made known by his loud

The statement of the Greensboro in

owner. It is printed in full on ano'ther
page of this issue. The people of the
state rallied to the support of these
companies once before when they were
threatened by the tariff association and
they will do it agaiu if for no other
than a mercenary reason. Insurance
rates were high enough to satisfy any
reasonable company, and the action of
the association is considered pure ex
ertion.

iiiKt preceding the pastorate of Rev.
Johnson. The! cards read, "At home,

Three alarms of fire have been sound
ed here within the nast week. The
first came from the Southside and was
turned in by some one who saw a
brushheap burning away out beyond
the city limits. A smoking chimney
in the Trogdon building on West Mar
ket street caused the department to be
called out about G o'clock Saturday
evening. No damage was done. Mon
day afternoon about 2 o'clock a small
tenement house near East Market street
caught fire and was almost totally de"
stroyed, the firemen being kept busy
protecting adjoining property. The
house belonged to Mr. B. G. Chilcutt,
of Brown Summit. It was reported
on the street yesterday that the fire
was of incendiary origin. The polic
are investigating.
A member of the firm of Manning
Brothers, landscape architects, of Bos

for the development of the landscape
of the Peabody Park, which is to be
established at the college. $5,000 will

Kittie Dees, a former student of the
college and now a stenographer in Bos
ton, was instrumental in interesting
the Mannings in the institution here,
and they have graciously proffered
their services free of charge. A topo
graphical map of the grounds was
made recently by Prof. J. L. Ludlow.
Among the events of interest at. the
college this summer will be the laying
of the cornerstone of the new Students'
Building, which is to be erected there
at a cost of $15,000.
Deputy J. M. Coble, of Greene town
ship, brought Will Hubbard, colored,
to jail Sunday evening under a charge
of retailing. He is a son of John Hub
bard, who is charged with the murder
of Seymour Shoffner, and figured in
the affair. With his father he will be
tried today on a charge of retailing,
and it is more than Jikely that both
will be held, tor trial on the charge of
murder. It is said that young Hub
bard is regarded by the officials as the
man that shot Shoff neri The Hubr
bards are a bad set, and Greene . town
ship is well rid of them, if only tem
porarily. One man told Officer Weath
erly, when he was About to arrest John
Hubbard, that he would not put hand
cuffs on him for a thousand dollars.
He evidently feared the vengeance of
the old man, but Mr. Weatherly didn't
falter for a moment in the discharge of
his duty. He has handled too many

market report.
The receipts on our market for the
past week have been very full, and our
buyers and manufacturers have had all
the work they could do to handle their
purchases in good shape. Onr manu
facturers and leaf dealers are shipping
lots of stock now, which makes room
for more tobacco and makes our buyers
very eager for the weed at anything
like reasonable prices. The quality of
the tobacco which has been sold during
the past week has been mostly of the
manufacturing type, and has been
eagerly bid for by all of our buyers.
In addition of this, there has been a
small sprinkling of good to fine wrap
pers and some good cutters which went
off at very satisfactory prices to the
seller.
, Prices on all grades have kept fully
up to the high water mark throughout
the entire week; and, on yesterday's
large sale, we saw no change in prices,
but every pile was carefully watched
by all of our buyers and pushed to the
very last bid before they would turn it
loose. We consider prices fully as high
as they have been at any time this sea
son, with the market very active on all
grades and especially so on grades un
der $1.00.
Little Miss Lucy Ash worth sold the
highest lot of scrap Friday that has

Mr. J. W. Ellis, of Randolph, made

30, nearly a 20-cent average.
Mr. T. J. Smith, a good Guilford far
mer, sold a load of lugs here the past
week at prices ranging from $11.50 to
$14.50. It - is safe to say that he was
pleased. -

One of Alamance's best farmers, Mr.

PARIS GREEN NOT NEEDED.
In speaking of the merits of the "Jim
son" weed method of combating the
ravages of tobacco worms, Mr, Henry
Meyer, a well known Cincinnati pack
er, is quoted by the Western Tobacco
Journal as follows:
It has been demonstrated by Harvey
Friend and Harlan E. Koogle, whose
tobacco lands adjoin and 'who put out
the past season a . total of twenty-seven
acres, that if the work is prosecuted in
.teligeutly and assiduously the work of
raising tobacco and the keeping down
of Jhe worms can be reduced to a min
imum. Primarily the worm comes
from the tobacco miller, and this insect
getjs in its work during the night, lay
ing the eggs that finally develop into
warms. It is to rid lhe patch of mill
ed that should first claim the attention
ofjthe growers, and this can be done
effectively and with little expense by
following the simple directions pur
sue d by the above-named gentlemen.
"Jimson" blossoms, into which a
sni all portion of arsenic has been placed,
is 1 he panacea for the evil, andjs so
de-idly in its effect that : dUrfng the
past season 5,200 tobacco millers were
poisoned on. the twenty-seven, acres
above mentioned. The growers, to
convince the skeptical, kept accurate
records of the millers and have them
hat they can be seen by those who de-
These growers raise the "jimson"
ssoms tor the purpose, and each
evening place them in the field fresh,
anid their peculiar aroma attracts the
miner. Mavme nulled the blossoms
hbse are fastened by a nail to pre7
pared stands located about the field.
The arsenic is placed in the flower or
blossom by putting the poison in a bot
tle which is stopped by a cork and
hrough which a quill has been insert
ed; A shake of the bottle and enough
pojison has been placed in the blossom
to kill all the millers that feed or are
attracted to the blossom. The growers
above mentioned have experienced lit-
1 ! or no trouble from worms during
he! past season, and they freely give
hje above remedy to their friends,
rhey feel that if all tobacco , raisers
wuld follow the course pursued by
nem tne worms tnat work so mucn
destruction and cause so much annoy
ance and labor would be soon in part
or! almost wholly eradicated. -
A Faithful Official Complimented.
Register of Deeds Kirkman is in re
ceipt of a letter from State Auditor B.
Fl Dixon complimenting him on the
fiie showing he submits for Guilford
unty in tne settlement ot state taxes
the past year, together with the sat
isfactory manner in which the official
statements were prepared. The county
parid the State for taxes in the year 1900
ie sum: of $21,318.20. For 1901 the
State received $23,773.44, an increase
ofer the preceding year of $2,445.24.
Yhen it is considered that 1901 was
not a reassessment year it will be seen
that the handsome increase in taxable
property came from improvements in
the county, such as buildings, etc. The
increase noted is independent of the
ilcrease in bank stock and corporate
excess, the tax on which is paid direct
to the State. Next year is reassess
ment year under the statutes, and the
county will undoubtedly make a fine
showing then. - ;
Greensboro is in position to enter the
