ASHEVILLE DAILY CITIZEN: THURSDAY EVENING, APiUL 21, 181)2. ASHEVILLE DAILY CITIZEN By KANDOLPU-KIiKK 1'KIXTIXG CO. TlIK DAILY ClTIZKN, Democratic, is published every ai'ternoon (except Smulav i at the lol lowing rates sirh ily citxh: onb ykr SlV YlttNTIIK .l.OO Turku Months l-j0 flNtt MnslTU. !' OnbWkkk ! THURSDAY, Al'KlI. 21, IS'.)'-'. Somk weeks ao V. E. Abenicthy, of llnrkc county, criticised the third party und talked plainly of the alliance leaders. Now his county alliance, by resolution, calls for his resignation. The third party is the most intolerant organiza tion on the face nftl:e earth today. Some ol our agricultural exchanges say we should raise more com, wheat, meat, cotton, and less polities. We have an overproduction of cotton, l'laut pol itics instead. Progressive 1'aruier. Of all the vicious advice that the Far mer has thrust on the North Carolina people this is probably the worst. The farmer who jrocs into polities fur a steady business is planting where he will never reap. IN I.tit ISIANA. Louisiana has voted aiitr-lutUry and democratic on a final test when there were five tickets in Uic field and every in ducement, outside of honor, to side with the lottery. The state is therefore redeemed, am! strong evidence is also offered, showing the power of the combined democratic and farmers' alliance forces. Credit i moreover due to the p;-op!e everywhere who subscribed money to down this monstrous monopoly in the citadel ol its undoubted power. There is no wrong, however great or however suonglv en trenched, that will not succumb to an aroused people. We hope to sec Louisiana in forward to a new and more genuine prosperity than ever came to her under lottery rule. FUU -tlltiCHHCJ' ONI.Y. "The most charitable view," says the Charlotte Observer, "to take of the un reasonable 'demands' and the wild, im practicable schemes of the leaders ol tin new third party, which is to furnish a panacea for the ills that alliict the ho. Im politic, is that they don't stop to think.' Our guess is that the demands have been made purposely wild so thai then would be no probability of their ad op tion bv the democrat parte. It every thing were conceded to IVlk today it would call a convention somewkcic an formulate new and wilder "demands. This is shown hv the dilVercnec between his talk when the silver hill was Inn discussed six months ago and later win there was a probability ol its passing the democrat house of representatives He fairly howled for free silt cr at first but later said it could amount to not!: ing anyhow; it could give little or ii' relief. " The St. bonis demands were calculated to widen the breach between the demo crat party and the democrat members o the farmer's alliance1. They do not form the platform of anv considerable bodv ol sincere reformers. They wire put out by mischief makers. OKTII CAKoUXA 'O.o. At Keidnville I'rof. Andrew I..

The Greensboro Kecord says that Mrs. McKinney, whose maiden name was Jane Hums a cousin of the noted Robert Bums, was born in Perthshire Scotland, 1X03, married in l'Jtm, emigrated to Canada in IS.';."., came to North Carolina in 187.'!. She had never learned to write and went to a writing school near Greensboro when she was 82 years of age and learned to write, so that she now corresponds with her family and friends in Canada.

C , March 2H, 18US. The AslicvMic Tobacco Works and Cigarette Company, a corporation created nndir theluwsof North Carolina, was orxaniied on March 23, 1802, lor the manulacture of jiluK, smokinK tobacco and cijtarettes The above company has bought out "The Ashe ville Tobacco Works," which has done a pronperons business for the last three vears with nn ever incrcasint! trade, and now has a surplus of $2,398 97. The dividends for the past three vcars amounted to 41) per cent, on the paid up capital, that is, 13V, per cent, per an. num. This stock company has obtained control of the only cigarette machine in America ouuideof the cixareite trust, namelT, The American Tobacco Company. ... The profit in machine-made cigarettes Is large, varying from about fifty to one hundred per cent. The business is practically cash, as cigarettes are sold (or cash or on short time. The Ashcville Tobacco Works and CUarette Company sell all the cgarettca they make at a handsome profit Offers have come from responsible parties to take the whole output. The present capacity is 144,400 in ten hours with one machine. Another machine has bien ordered. The cost of making 1,000 cigarettes is as follows : Medium Cigarette. Best Cigarette. Stamps BO f .00 Royalty 31b leal tobacco UIO paiwr boxes lor 10 cigarettes .1 ,iA 2 papei boxes for 80 boxes 10 .10 I'aiwr In making cigarettes 10 .10 Labor 5 Cases twooden boxes) Uj -o0 Total 1(,s 303 Two grades of cigarettes are made medium and best. The medium grade ia sold nt $3 BO per thousand; the best at $5 60. Comparing the cost of making and the price per Thousand it will be seen that the average profit Is f 2.G5 per thousand. For a legitimate, sale busimsi, with quick returns and large profit, the cigarette business offers an oppor tunity seldom had, and it must be kept in mind that The Asheville Tobacco Works and Cigarette Company has had luck and displayed good business judgment in securing this machine when other large companies were begging for it. , It is not necessary for an investor to speak of Ashcville as a suitable place to manufacture cigarettes. It is eminently well situated, being in the finest section of North Carolina lor the growth of fancy qualities of smoking tobacco used in muking cigarettes. The dryness of climate by dav and coolness and moisture by nihht are the chief causes which lavor the production of fine smoking tobacco here, and make it equal in flavor and color to the best tobacco grown anywhere. As proof of this the tobaccos grown here have taken first pre miums at State Fairs in Raleigh, North Carolina, and Richmond, Virginia; also at the Vienna and Paris Expositions. The number of pounds of tobacco handled on this market is rapidly Increasing; for instance, In 1880 there were only about 600,000 pounds sold here, while in 18U1 over ti,000,0U9 pounds were sold, and now every large manufacturer has his buyer on this market. The sales are yearly increasing and there ia enough tobacco sold to run many large factor! here instead of shipping it away to other factories. (A large factory in Asheville wouldemploy a number of hands and benefit the town). Our cigarette factory is situated in the heart of thia fine tobacco region and paradise of the world for health and pleasure. , , The factory Is a large brick building four stories high, well arranged for safety, and has all necessary appliances and machines lor making plug and smoking tobacco and cigar ettes. The building is heated by steam and the machines run by electrical power, which is found to be the most economical. . . , , The policy of the company is conservative. The Asheville Tobacco Works and Cigarette Company can sell every cigarette they make; in fact, they cannot begin scarcely to supply the demand The plug and smoking tobacco business is constantly growing, and there Is not enough storage capacity to handle the business and store away leaf tobacco which has to be bought and held some months before manulactnring. It is the design of the com. ftany to build an addition to the present factory aud In other ways enlarge the business, and the directors acting on the needs of the increasing business and demand for more room have instructed the secretary and treasurer to sell $50,000 worth of the capital stock at car in shares of $100 each. To say nothing of the profit in plug and smoking tobacco, the clrarette profit alone will be twenty per cent, or more on $100,000 lor this reason: In turning out 100,000 cigarettes per day, that Is, two thirds of the canacity of the one ma chine which we have a lease on for ten years, with privilege of twenty, It is certain the company will make one dollar per thousand, which is $100 profit per day; and as there are 313 working days per annum, it will amount to $31,300. which la over 20 er cent, a vear on $150,000, and these figures are less than hall of the estimated profit, The present stockholders expect 00 per cent, on their Investment.
