Rumor of Consolidation of Vir ginia Plants Concerns Sev eral Local Firms. CAPITAL OF SIX MILLIONS. Trust Will Be Financed from New York by Capitalists Alresfy oa the Spot. Isdependeits Msy Give Trouble: Notes of the Deal. The reported movement at Norfolk to consolidate all the peanut cleaning plants In Virginia into one giant trust controlled by New York capitalists has caused some interest In Wilming ton where there are a dozen or more such establishments. Local operators are wondering If the trust magnates will invade'their territory later , and growers in this section manifest no less Interest from the fact that what effects the buyer, none the less has to do with the seller and-produoer. The plan is to finance the consolida ted plants from New York with a capital of $6,600,000. , It is said that the proposed merger of these concerns will cause 40 or 50 peanut men in Nor folk, who have been travelling in the West, South and Canada for Virginia cleaners, to loss their places, as the plants there will be -closed down. The trust, it Is understood, will operate a plant at Norfolk, two In Petersburg, one In Smlthvllle, one in Wakefield, with perhaps a few others. Experti are at work on the books and the plants at Norfolk are prepar ing to stop work. It may be that the independent cleaners will give the new combine trouble, as they did with several smaller attempted combines of the past The Norfolk Landmark of yester day has the following to say in this connection: The rumor printed yesterday an nouncing the arrival of two represen tatives of a New York trust company in this city for the purpose of examin ing the peanut-cleaning plants in' this section, was verified yesterday by the arrival of several more representa tives of the same company who will inspect plants in other parts of the SUte. At this time, however, only two of the trust's representatives are in the city, the others having gone to Peters burg and Franklin to inspect plants in those cities. The two trust representatives in this city will, so it Is stated, go over the books of the various concerns that will be consolidated and confirm statements made before the deal was on. It was learned last evening that two plants in this city will be shut down and several in other - sections of the State will be likewise closed. By con solidating seventeen large peanut cleaning plants who practically furn ish peanuts for the civilized world, the combine will operate about one-third of the plants ana win ao away witn the services of a large number of pea nut sellers who travel all the United States, Canada and Mexico for the various concerns at present, saving an enormous expense. One of the factors in organizing tne company at present is the present con trol of the crop. The new company do not control all of the crop and peanut men claim that independent concerns would then be dangerous. TERRIFIED SOUND RESIDENTS. White Mia Arrested for Viirmsy sod Locked Up li JsU Here. Jno. Turner; a white tramp, who Is either a half-witted fellow or feigns stupidity for a-pur pose, was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Harvey Cox on Greenville Sound yesterday afternoon upon a warrant charging vagrancy, and sworn out before Justice Fowler bv Mr. Martin B.

Current Year is One of Consoli dations to Extent of Being a Record-Breaker. SOUTHERN TO DOUBLE-TRACK Frelfht Offices to Be Removed to At lints Mr. F. M. Jolly Reslgas Surveys for Soath Caroliaa aad QeortjIaJExtensloa. The Charleston News and Courier in its well edited "railroad column" has the following interesting resume of the various railway change?, ab sorptions, mergers, ete , that have kept the business world guessing dur ing the past year and which will be found interesting to the general .reader: - The year 1902 will so down into rail road history as having witnessed more consolidations than have ever been known In any previous year. Great combinations and absorptions have followed closely one after another. The movement began last year, when tne jf ennsyivania nnaiiy succeeded in acquiring the Baltimore and Ohio. The greatest coup of 1901 was the for mation or the Northern Securities Company, which had been preceded by the acquisition of Burlington by the ureal xvortnern ana in or mem Pacific. Earlier in the year the Harriman clique In the Union Pacific had taken over the Southern Pacific. The work of consolidation, begun so vigorously last year, nas been going on rigorously ever since, and the Gould lines seem to have absorbed more independent roads than any other system. George Gould and in terests friendly to his companies have taken over the Ann Arbor, in Michi gan; the Columbus, Sandusky and Hockinr. in Ohio: the West Virginia Central, in West Virginia, and the Maryland and the western Maryland, in Maryland about 1.116 miles in all. The Goulds have also arranged to take over tne Colorado Southern, with 1,143 miles of trackage. Tne Rock Island bought the Choc taw, Oklahoma and Gulf from, its Philadelphia owners, and the Rock island nas tranafeared all its holdings to a securities company. In the South the Atlantic Coast I4ne has acquired the Plant System. and Pierpont Morean is said to have arranged to turn over the Louisville and Nashville, bought from John W. Gates at an enormous profit to the latter, to the Southern Railway wnich bad previously taken over the Monon route. This table gives the principal rail roads, with their mileage, which have been absorbed by other lines since the beginning of the current year. Miles.

Pierpont Morgan will consummate the greatest consolidation of the year the merger of all railroad lines in the South with a total trackage of 21,000 miles. Tne Illinois Centra, the largest road in tne proposed consoli dation up to this time, has refused to go into any consolidation, but it is ex pected that Morgan will be able to complete the deal which has been under way for tnree months. A special from Washington to the Atlanta Constitution says: "It Is learned here to-day that in a few weeks' time the general freight offices of the Southern railway are to be re moved from Washington to Atlanta. "This announcement is absolutely authoritative, and it is understood that quarters for tne freigbt offices nave already been secured in the Equitable building in Atlanta. "Over 500 people will be added to the city's population by the removal of the offices and in consequence there will be a great demand for nomes wnen they arrive in Atlanta. The city will derive benefit in many ways from the change." Mr. F. M. Jolly, formerly division passenger agent of the Plant ttystem at Jacksonville and latterly travelling passenger agent of the Coast Line at Montgomery, has resigned from the service and gone to New York. His place at Montgomery has not been filled. Mr. Jolly is well known among railroad men in the South, and their best wishes will follow him.

It Is true that the lowest spot cash prices are marked In plain figures on aU my goods, it Is true that I do not swap new goods for old. It Is true I do not sell to Tom, Dick and Harry on the "Installment Plan." It Is true that by not doing either of these two things I never have anything second-hand In my store, but It is not true that I sell only for cash; on the contrary. I recognize the fact that the most desirable class of people are not always In a position to pay cash, and while they do nor want to pay the extortionate prices charged by In stallment houses, nor run the risk of buying goods that have been used by somebody else, they are willing to pay a reasonable rate of interest, and to accommodate this class of customers, I will sell to any desirable person on terms suited to their conven ience, adding a small amount to the spot cash prices that are marked In plain figures on all my goods.
