Th. aitnatioo of HiU.boro, in tb. ri-
, cinity of th fioeat tobaooo grovinf eonn
try in the world its eaay aeoeaaibUity to
the farmers of an immense section of fer
tile country, by means of the old estab
lished roads leadiog into tbe town from
ery direction, and its facilities for trans
portation to the great markets of the
world, gira it many striking advantages,
which, with additional capita) and enter
prise, should at once make it one of the
leading canters for tbe mannfactars and
sab of tobacco. "
Another point, that, in oar estimation
should hare oooaideTable weight with in
telligent dealers in, and eonaomen of to
bacco, is the fact that EQlsboro is almost
nneqaalad for healthfolneai, and therefore,
the tobacco manufactured berets not ma
nipulated by sickly operatiTes; conse
quently there is no danger of it spreading
contagious diseases. Tbe prejudice againm
tobacco, cigars, et made in unhealthy
localities, in becoming quite general, and
justly so. Consumers hare good reasons
to avoid the use of tobacco made in such
localities. They know that the contagious
diseases of unhealthy towns are often box
ed np with the goods made there, and
shipped throughout the laid.
There are at present four factories lo
cated in the town, owned by as many dif
ferent firms. They are all doing a good
business, and it is gratifying to learn that
their sales are steadily increasing from
year to year. The value of the tobacco
manufactured here during the past season
was abont $160,000. Tbe prospect for a
decided increase in business was never
o good as at the present time. The low
est estimate which we hare heard any of
onr manufacturers give of the value of
next years business, was $00,000, just
double that of the past year. Judging by
the extensive preparations being made, we
will not be the least surprised to see it go
considerably beyond $500,000.
The above estimates hare reference only
to the factories which have been in opera
tion during the past year. We have heard
rumors, which we regard well founded, of
new enterprises Jto be tarted here this
yeir, which will materially increase the
vtjmn and extent of our tohuulxaie.
IJelow we give short sketches of the
firms at present engaged in the manufac
ture of tobacco in HilUboro.
JAMES Y. WHITTED
Is the oldest manufacturer in the town.
' having commenced operations in 1869.
He has kept constantly at the business
since that time except while serving three
years in the army, and also for a short
time in '66. Mr. Whitted's long experi
ence in the business has enabled him to
manufacture some remarkably fine grades
of tobacco. To him is due, in no small
measure, the unrirallod reputation which
the Hillsboro plug tobaooo now enjoys.
Experts, and others well qualified to judge,
pronounce the Hillsboro fine plug tobacco
superior to that made inJDurham, orany
otber place.
The numerous First Premiums, Medals
and Diplomas which Mr. Whitted has re
osived at various times, affords flattering
and convincing evidence of the excellence
of the grades of tobacco manufactured at
his works. In addition to silver medals
received at North Carolina State Fairs, in
1371 and T3, he has bees awarded first
premium at North Carolina and Alabama
State Fairs, and also at Fairs held in Sa
vannah and Atlanta, Georgia. His factory
is conveniently located near the Railroad
depot, and is a large two-story and a half
building, 34 feet in width by 110 feet in
length. This season he has employed
thirty -seven hands in making the different
grades of bright plug and twist tobacco.
Amcpg the principal brands manufac
tured by Mr. Whitted are the following :
.Gold. Ambrosia," "Rising Star," .KMd
North State," "Nat. Macon," "Cape Fear,"
"Okaneke," "Magnolia," "Tar Heel," "Our
"Charles Day,' Gov. "Allen," etc.
The above brands are all chewing tobao
oo, to the manufacture of which Mr. Whit
ted haw to the present time solely confined
hi attention. But he has recently com
pleted arrangements to place on the mar
ket s Mw brand of fine smoking tobacco
which will be known as the "Harry Lee.''
He will commence operations on this brand
n a few weeks, and we confidently expect
to see the;4'Harry Lee" become favorite
with the smoking public.
Mr. Whitted has done a good business
this season, and it is pleasing to note that
he is enlarging his facilities ibr this year,
when he will be prepared, sad expect to
do a larger business than ever.
H. P. JONXS.
Tbe tobaeco works of EL P. Jones b
also located near tbe BaU-Boad depot.
It is 'a large two- story building, 40 feet in
width, by 160 feet in length, and has a ca
pacity of turning out one million pounds
of tobacco annually. Major Jones com
imbmiI business in 1871. and has since
then confined his attention to the menu
faoture of smoking tobaooo. The well
knows Tar Beet granulated smoking, and
a stin finer brand known as the M Oo
coneechee, n rranalated, art mad at this
bctory, kod lao two branJj of ion cat ;

ill shortly introduce a new 'brand of.

for NortLem trade, If aj. Jones' sale laxt
aeaaon amonnt to aboot 60,000 pounds,
hi prospect for a largely inert avd bioi

cent arrangcmeaU which he has made
induces him to believe that his torireM

J. M. Corbin commenced business st
his present location in 1879. Previous to
that, however, he has had an extensive ex
perience in the tobaooo trade, hav np been
raised up in th business, and thereby be
coming a thoTigh manufacturer. H
saa Mfautlll m mil the difforent grades f
plug and twist chewing tobacco, in which
ha has done a fair busiies from the start.
His factory is a two-story building 40 feet
wide by 70 feet long, and affords employ
ment to from 36 to 40 operatives. The
amount manufactured hut season will
reach between sever ty and eighty thou
sand pounds. The outlook for an increase
of business in 1880 is considered good.

The firm of Webb k Co. is eon posed
of James Webb, Jr., Joseph C Webb and
Geo. C. Corbin. This firm was ertabl'bed
in 1878, and although two year- Lavc not

rTBBuuigioB rui. i uere is more in mis
than is generally supposed. Mr. Hutch-
ius is a man w no is not apt to commit
himself to political movement without
having a definite object in view, or with
out knowing thoroughly what he is about.
Before he started the movement in favor
of M. Seymour he took a run out west and
had an interview with M. Hendricks, and
I am informed he also paid a visit to Mr.
j Seymour himself. At any rate I have it
j from himself that Mr. Seymour's physical
health is such as to warrant his nomina
tion, and that Mr. Hendricks is willing to
accept second place with Mr. Seymour.
There is a curious rumor here in regard to

is not able to discharge

presidential ottice even if elected, but that
lie is willing to allow the use of his name at
: the head of the ticket for the sake of uni-
ting the purty in New York and to insure
victory, on condition that if he shall be
elected he will be permitted to resign the
j office after lie hftg been inaugurated, in
which event of course the successful can-
did ate for the vice-presidency will succeed
1 'o.the presidency. It is further alleged
: that this understanding is entirely accep-
table to Mr. Hendricks, and the chief
j reason why he is willing to run second
j with Mr. Seymonr, although he has said
, positively within a very few days that he
absolutely will not consent to run second
again with Mr. Tilden. This story has
most of the attributes of a Washington ca
nard, and should be taken with a very
large grain of salt. The project is, how
ever, seriously talked of by politicians
here, and the story is interesting as one
of the political straws which is floating on
the enrrent at the outet of this president
making session.

There is very little talk of Mr. Thurman
as a possible candidate now among the
Democratic members, and yet it is not at
all certain that he is out of the field. Gen
eral Butler says that Senator Thurman is
still in the list of possible Democraic can
didates, and General Butler's political sa
gacity is of the very best. The most seri
ous obstacle in Senator Thurman's way is
his own state, which, it wiD be remember
ed, refused to take his name to the last na
tional convention. The trouble is, there
is a very strong anti-Thurman faction in
the Democratic party in Ohio, and it is
bound that Thurman shall not be the
bresidential nominee.

For some time past a family named -
Smith, living on the estate of the late
J. E. Redmond, near Durham, noticed a
strange, nauseating taste in the water used
from the well on their premises. A young
man named Wilcox, who boarded with
tbe family, became disgusted with the
rank stuff they were drinking, and deter
mined to investigate the cause. . Going
out to the Jwell last Sunday he discovered
something floating on the surface. He
procured s pair of pot hooka, sad after
considerable difficulty he succeeded in
in raising out of the well the decayed body
of a colored infant

line and instruction better, the satisfaction
