ARE NOT IN THE TRUST WINSTON TOBACCO MANUFAC TURERS DENY HAVING SOLD OUT. TO AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY. The Story Appears to Have Originated in Virginia—Dedication ol the New Lutheran Church—The Cigarette Ma chine Case to be Tried in Asheville Tuesday—Valuable Options by North ern Capitalists In Greensboro—M ys terious Death of William Tate. Special to the News and Observer. Winston, N. C., July 11. For seveial days a report has been cir culated here that the American Tobacco Company had purchased the business of two of Winston’s largest tobacco manu facturers, R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Compa ny and P. H. Hanes & Company. When questioned about it to-day both firms denied the report, saying there was nothing in it so far as their business was concerned. The story appears to have originated somewhere in Virginia. The suit brought by the American To bacco* Company against the Winston Cigarette Company will come up before Judge Simonton, of South Carolina, at Asheville next Tuesday. Rev, W. A. Lutz, the pastor, to day announced the program for the formal dedication of the new Lutheran Church, next Sunday. The services will open at 11 a. m. and will be conducted by Rev. W. S. Bowman, D. D., of Charlotte; Rev. Dr. Miller, of Buena Vista, Va; Rev. J. D. Shirley, of Mount Pleasant, N. G., and the pastor. This will be fol lowed by a sermon from Rev. F. W. E. Peschau, D. D., of Greensburg, Penn. At four p. m. special services will be held, at which the resident clergy of all denominations are expected to be pres ent and make five minutes talks. At 8 p. m. Rev. Dr. Bowman will preach. Services will also be held on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of next week, conducted by the visiting ministers. A prominent citizen of Greensboro, who was in Winston yesterday, said that in addition to the recent sale of forty thousand dollars’ worth of real estate, near that city, Moses H. Cone and his associates, of New York, have obtained a number of options in Greens! oro. In one case an entire double block, in the heart of the city, is included. The County Commissioners and Tax Assessors have been in session here every day this week, and have increased the assessments on property, aggregating several thousand dollars. The Wachovia Loan and Trust Com pany yesterday declared a semi-annual dividend of three per cent. A special edition of the Southern To bacco Journal will be issued the latter part of this month. It will be edited by a committee of ladies. Miss Adelaide Fries, of Salem, will ,be editor in chief. The proceeds from the issue will go to the Twin City Hospital Association. Therte will be two murder trials to come up at the August term of Forsyth Supe rior Court —Arthur Tuttle, colored, for kiiliDg Policeman Vickers, and Bud Cun ningham, for shooting his sweet heart, Lenora Hailey. William Tate, who served through the late war and was a good soldier, died near Greensboro Monday afternoon. He went out in the woods to do some chop ping and was not found until Tuesday. His body was found beside a log upon which he had been at work. There were no evidences of violence and it is sup poeed that he died in a spasm, as he had been subject to epilepsy for years He W3* aboirt sixty years old, BECHU ITU’S CAUSTIC |LETTErf. He Replies to a Suggestion That the Liberty Hell be Sent South. Tee following is a copy of a caustic letter sent by Mr. B. 0. Beckwith to a fellow son of the Revolution in Philadel phia. It is a self-explanatory. Raleigh, N. C., July 9th 1895. Mr. Etban Allen Weaver, Sec’t’y &c., Philadelphia, Pa. Dear Sir: -I see that there is a move ment on foot, inaugurated by the Pennsyl vania Society of the Sons of the Revolu tion to prevent the Liberty bell from being exhibited at the Atlanta Exposi tion. In other words the Sons or the Revolution of Pennsylvania “protested against the journey of this priceless relic to Atlanta ” I do not know upon what grounds your Society! lorotests but I see that the Mayor of Philadel phia, replying to your society, said that “the journey of the bell to the South would be an invaluable lesson in patriot ism,” and that “the old bell would be an object lesson in patriotism to the South.” Now, allow me to protest that we Sons of the Revolution in this sec tion, (and about ninety five per cent, of our white population are sons of the Revolution, in fact their blood not being coutamina'ed by iufusions of the blood of recent immigrants), and the sons of the Washington’s, the Jefferson’s, the Lee’s, the Henry’s, the Marion’s, the Stanly’s, the Sumner's, the Ashe’s, the Davie’s, the Waddell’s, and of the men of Mecklenburg, King’s Mountain and Guilford Court House; and of those who shouldered their rities and hurried northward at the news from Lexington; and of those also who stayed with Washington at Valley Forge, who fought and fell at Germantown and Stony Point; and of those who followed Washington even to Yorktown, need no such object lessons to teach them patriot ism. Therefore, the journey of the old bell southward is unnecessary. It will do vastly more go>d, “as an object lesson,” by remaining in Philadelphia. Allow me respectfully to suggest that, but for the bravery and patriotism of the ancestors of the people whom the worthy minor <>f Philadelphia seems to think need an “object lesson in patriotism” th*re would be no Liberty bell. As a bon of the Revolution, therefore, I trust your protest may be the means of keeping the bell in Philadelphia. The cosmopolitan population of Pennsylvania needs every day a reminder of the days of “’78.” Fraternally yours, B. 0. Becawith, A SVNCRATIC SYMPOSIUM. A New but Pleasant Social A flair at Franklinton. Special to the News and Observer. Franklinton, N. C., July 11. About a week since the young men of the town and some from neighboring towns were surprised by receiving invi tations to a syncratic symposium to be held at Franklinton Classical Institute building on Monday evening. They had various and vague conceptions as to what it was they were to have the pleas ure of attending. When they reached the place they found their lady friends attired in various costumes and all masked, ready to give them a welcome and to entertain for the evening. The ladies took the invitation and a couple of hours swiftly glided by in promenades, conversations, etc. The following char acters were among the maskers: Misses Bertha Morris, “Africa”; Blanch Morris, “Baby Ruth”; Minnie Cade, “Neuse”; Sallie Wingate, “Sisterof Charity”; Min nie Morris, “Looking Backward”; Ruth Wingate, “Grandma”; Eula Furman, “Miss Angie, a Country Girl”; Mary Morris, “America;” Fannie Green, “Trilby;” Annie Yarborough, “Woman Ciown;” Helen Person, “Japanese Peas ant;” Jennie Joyner, “Peasant Girl;’* Annie Lawrence, “Angel;” Daisy Cox, “Mother Goose;” Nellie Bernard, “Cornin’ thro’ the rye;’ T Eleanor Ballard, “One of the Muses;” Minnie Kearney, “Great Grandma;” Lily Moss, “Spring;” Nannie Blackley, “Little 80-Peep;” Blanche Borden, “Red Riding Hood;” Vic Harris, “Spanish Girl;” Nannie Gor man, “Columbia;” Essie Bynum, “Night;” Lillian Green, “Morning;” Gertrude JohnsoD, “Gypsy;” Maggie Cade, “Old Fashioned Girl;” Mrs. R. K. Williams, “Japanese Peasant.” After the parties were sufficiently amused the masks were removed and re freshments served and the crowd at a late hour dispersed. A*mong the married people present were Mr. aud Mrs. E M. Morris, Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Rallord, Mr. and Mrs. N. Y. Gulley, W. H. Mitchell, Esq., and Mrs. W. L McGhee. The hotel has been re opened by Messrs. Hobbs, and it is fitted up entire ly new. The work on the Sterling Cotton Mills is being rapidly pushed to completion. The corporation expects to begin running the mills before October Ist. THE OUTLOOK VERY BRIGHT. LouLburg is Growing Rapidly mu! Business is Good. Special to the News and Observer. Louisburg, N. C., July 10. From present indications this town is in a prosperous condition. The sound of the saw and hammer is beard on s de and there is not a vacant res idence or business house in the town. The prospect for a good business season this fall is very flattering. Mr. Wm. Bailey is now having hauled the material for a handsome brick bank building on Main street, while other much needed improvements in the building line are being contracted for. The buildings and grounds of the Louisburg Female College are being put in thorough repair for the fall season, which opens September 4tb, and the outlook now promises a very full at tendance. Rev. J. A. Green, the Presi dent of the college, says that he has never before had so many inquiries from parties who expect to patronize the school the approaching session. Some trouble in adjusting the loss in the brick building on Main street, re cently burned, is now delaying any steps towards rebuilding that store, but as soon as this matter is settled the store will be rebuilt. WELDON’* NEW FACTORIES. Contract Awarded for the Big Cotton Mill at Roanoke Rapid*. Special to the News and Observer. Weldon, N. 0., July 11. The contract for the construction of a big cotton mill at Roanoke Rapids was awarded here Tuesday. There were sev eral bids made, running from $50,000 to SBO,OOO. The contract was awarded to W. A Cbesterman A Co., of Richmond. This buildmg is to be 254x108 feet and four stories high. A knitting mill is being erected by Brown & Garger, of Washington, D. O. The crops in this section are looking better than they were a few days ago. We have had good seasons. That Tired Feeling Is a common complaint and it is a dan gerous symptom. It means that the sys tem is debilitated because ot impure blood, and in this condition it is espe cially liable to attacks of disease. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the remedy for this con dition, and also for that weakness which prevails at the change of season, climate or life. # Rood’s Pills act easily, yet promptly and efficiently on the bowels and liver. 25c.

The Spectator of (of N Y) tables for 1895 have appeared, showing the rate of interest earned by the 27 leading life insurance companies They thow that the Union Central Life Insurance Co., of Cincinnati, 0., ralio for 1894 is 7.01 per cert, against 5 68 per cent, the highest of any other com pany, and 4 99 per cent, the general aver age This is an extraordinary showing for the Union Central, being 135 per cent above the ratio of any other company. That is to say, on an equal amount of money invested the Union Central earns as much as the best of 1 he other com pat ies and nearly one fourth more Extending the enmparte -n for twenty years, from 1875 to 1894, the average of the Union Central for all that time Is 866 against 6 53, the highest of any other com pany, and 5.58 the general average. The Union Central average percent of death claims for thirteen years, compared to mean amount of insurance in force, has been 0 65, or 65 cents for each i undred dol lars insured. The lowest aver> ge of any other company hits been 0 78 and the bigb e t2:10 The average of the twenty four other best companies has been Left. The above are the vital points of man agement In a life insurance company, and from the actual records we can giant all any other company claims and still have a margin left.ln our favor. The results of high interest and low death rates are for the benefit of the in sured. By • hese excessive virtues the old Union Central (now with mo-e tbanflß,- 500,000 assets) has been for over eight years paying the full face of their policies to those who insured with us from 18 to 34 years ago, though they paid ns but the same piemlum usually collected for a pol icy payable only at death We paid over 1135,000 in 1894 to the living holders of these poll ies, so we have thoroughly de monstrated that you do not have to “die to win” a cheap fife rates policy with the Union Central, though our rivals for 15 years claimed it could not be done by any company.
