THE "HOLINESS" PEOPLE.
HAVE COME AND ARE PREACHING THEIR
PECULIAR DOCTRINES HERE.
Ens. Roanoke News: You would
do me and perhaps others of my people a
favor by enquiring whether this professed
preacher who is now io Weldon withalot
of women is the same who created such a
stir in Raleigh and later on in Wilming
ton. Loncy was the name in Raleigh
but ho has perhaps changed his name
now, they have been after him so hot.
I would look into the matter myself, but
I am confined to my bed. I understand
his methods are the same as Loney's; if
so he ought to be published and run out
of the town.
You had a long article in your paper
this week concerning him and I think
he is the same man. If he is, you would
take a manly stand by warning the col
ored people against him. Hoping you
will think the matter worthy of investiga
tion. I am,
Yours very respectfully,
R. J. Perry.
As far as can be ascertained these are
the same people who first began to preach
aud practice their peculiar tenets in Ral
eigh and later in Wilmington. In the
latter place they were at first given the
use of tho colored churches, but it was
soon found that they were immoral and
the colored preachers closed their church
es against them. They then hired the
tabernacle erected for Sam Jones several
years ago, but failing to pay the rent
were ejected and left Wilmington to avoid
legal entanglements of somo kind. Erorn
thcro they came here and began to preach
last Thursday They were given tho use
of the First Baptist church which they
still occupy. There are eighteen men
and women ia the crowd that came hero,
but at this writing no converts have boon
made so far as con be ascertained. The
colored people seem to be averse to dis
cussing the now soct. It is evident,
however, that the colored people arc di
vided about them, some favoring and
some opposing them.
They preach the doctrines here which
they preached in Wilmington and Ral
eigh, an account which was published in
last weeks's isi ue of this paper. These
doctrines are ooatrary to all received
opinious nud our colored friends would
be wise to be slow and careful in accept
ing them.
On Tuesday a warrant reached here
from Raleigh by virtue of which Chief
of Police Day arrested and tcok to Ral
eigh Burvin Snipes and a woman whose
name we could not learn. Snipes is a
follower of Louey and went with bin
from Raleigh to Wilmington, carrying
with him a neighbor's wife. Tho two
later came here with Loney and were
with him when arrestod.
THE GUEATEST TRUST YET.
PROBABLE COMBINATION OF
GREAT CORPORATIONS.
TWO
A Winston special to the Richmond
Dispatch says :
The Southern Tobacco Journal pub
lished this afternoon claims to havo au
thentic information that the American
Tobacco Company bus absorbed the
Lorillard Tobacco Company, of New
Jersey. The Journal says : "This is a
sad reflection and will be read with unu
sual interest by the trade. The Journal
predicted months ago that it would be
an easy matter for the trust to absorb
the Lorillard people, and it now looks as
if this had been accomplished. It will
only be an easy matter for them to go a
step further and take in a St. Louis fac
tory or two. What this will mean to
the tobacco trade can easily be seen. It
is now hinted that as the whiskey trust,
which is about to get control of all tho
whiskey business in this country, is per
fected the two corporations will combine,
making the largest money corporation in
the world."
WHAT IT WOULD MEAN.
Such a corporation would simply mean
ruin to tho balance of the tobacco trade
in this country. The combiued value of
the two enterprises would be nearly
8100,000,000 enough, it is uid, to in
fluence legislation in every Stnto iu tho
Union. For many years the Lorillards
have beeu aiming tilt! lil'gi st buyer t,f
Nonh Carolina nud Virginia leaf, buyiug
from speculators aud commission men iu
the various markets, but chiefly from
stocks held in Richmond. Only recently
their agent made large puohascs of leaf
held in Richmond warehouses. If thii
big fuutory has joined the trust, all this
buying will be thrown into the hinds of
tho trust's various aueuts.

RAILROAD COMMISSION.
A REVIEW OF ITS WORK SINCE ITS OR
GANIZATION IN APRIL, 1891.
The law providing for a Ra;'road
Commission for this state was passed by
the General Assembly of 1891-92.
The commission is composed of three
commissioners, and the gentlemen elected
by said General Assembly to this office
are, J. W. Wilson, T. W. Mason and E.
C. Beddingfield. These gentlemen have
not yet been in office two years, and a
brief review of their work may be of in
terest. When the commission was established
the corporations of the state were assessed
for taxation at 812,321,700, but a revis
ion of the assessment warranted the
couin.ission io increasing the amount by
$7,820,000, making the sum now assessed
for taxation 820,141, 760, which increased
the revenue as follows :
State taxes, 819,550.14; pension taxes,
82.346.01; school taxes, 811,730,08;
counties and towns, 844,574.32, showing
an increase in the total tax of 878,200.
56. Before the commission was established
Pullman cars had never been assessed for
taxation, but they are now taxed on a
valuation of 8130,000, and steamboats,
heretofore not taxed, arc now taxed on a
valuation of 8290,000. While the work
of the commission in the direction indi
cated shows an increase in tho assessed
valuo of certaiu property, and, conse
quently, a corresponding increase in
revenue, it should be noted in this
connection that the reduction
in passenger rates alunu will
amount to 8200,000 per annum, in
freight rates to 8250,001) per annum,
while telegraphic rates have been retimed
nearly 50 per cent. It is under.-toud
that nearly 150 complaints have been
made to the commission for uVtrcLai-te
and various gripvurnv, hut that these
Iihvu generally been amicably and satis
factorily adjusted, aud iu addition many
orders havo been mndo pcrtainieg to the
convenience of the public, "Eueh as causing
dcpotB to be erected, trains to make cuu
neeti'tn, cars to bo kept comfortable, eto.
An effort has been mndo at different
and many times for the past ten or fif
teen years to compel the Wilmington and
Weldon railroad company tu pay taxes,
hut if hits never bivn reached and for a
itfUij t d!' ) oars the company has enjoyed
immunity from taxation, claiming exemp
tion under its charter. The commission,
after a thorough investigation and exam
ination, came to the conclusion that the
exemption clause in the charter did not
extend to the branch lines, a different
view from any ever taken before, and
placed the main line from Halifax to
Weldon, and all its branch lines on the
tax list. Tho U. S. Supreme court af
firmed this decision.
In all these matters, the corporations
which have been represented before the
commission have only manifested the de
sire to stand upon their legal rights only,
and the investigations have been con
ducted on both sides with the sole aim
of finding the right and then doing it.
