SMITHTOWN PRISONERS SEN TENCED. Eight of them Go to Federal Prison —Judge Boyd Sends One Back Home to Warn His Breth ren Of the Troubles that Befall Moonshiners. "What did Judge Boyd do with the Smithtown blockaders"? Dis trict Attorney Holton was asked last night, just after his arrival from Greensboro, where he has been since Monday prosecuting for the government in the Fed eral Court, which adjourned yes terday afternoon. says the Winston Sentinel. "He sent eight of the twelve de fendants to the Federal prison at Atlanta, one was acquitted, two got their cases continued until the October term, and Judge Boyd sent one back to Stokes to tell his brethren how hot it was in a Fed eral Court room," replied Mr. Holton. The district attorney believes that the man acquitted was per haps the guiltiest blocknder in the bunch. He says the evidence was st> strong that he did not argue the case and Judge Boyd made a brief charge to the jury. The verdict of acquittal was a surprise to everybody who heard the evi dence. When the same jury was cnlled to pass upon the next defendant Judge Boyd made it plain in his charge that that was no place for foolishness and that the court ex pected the jury to do its duty. This time the twelve men were out only about five minutes, returning a verdict of guilty. The sentences imposed are as follows : Oscar Williams, illicit distil ling, 15 months in the United States reformatory at Washing ton. John D. Williams, same offense, 15 months in the United States prison at Atlanta and a fine of SIOO. John Young, same offense, 18 months in the prison at Atlanta and a fine of SIOO. Oscar Smith, same offense, one year and one day in United States prison and a fine of SIOO. Davis Nelson, same offeuse, 13 months in prison and a fine of SIOO. Griffin, same offense, one year in the United States prison and a fine of SIOO. John Williams, retailing, was recognized under a bond of S2OO for his appearance at the next term of Federal Ceurt. Judge Boyd exacted of him a promise to tell all the other parties near Smithtown of what had befallen those who were tried here and to warn them to obey the law. Logan Chambers, for illicit dis tilling, was given 16 months in the United States prison at At lanta, and was taxed with a fine of SIOO. James Shelton, who operateil a still in connection with Chambers, was sentenced to a term of 14 months in the United States pris on at Atlanta and was fined SIOO. After the prisoners had receiv ed their sentences they were led back to the jail. Jamestown Ter-Centennial, Norfolk. Va.. April 26th. Nov. 30th. 1907.

SOME INTERESTING FIGURES. North Carolina Leads in the Manu facture and Production Of Tobacco. Washington, Sept. 9.—North Carolina takes first rank among all the States engaged in the manufacture of smoking and ! chewing tobacco, according to a bulletin on the manufacture of tobacco in the United States, which has just been issued by the Census Bureau. There were only 39 establishments engaged in the manufacture of smoking and chewing tobacco in the State in 1905, as compared with 80 such establishments in 1900, but there was a notable increase in the value of the products. This increase during the five years mentioned was $11,876,905, or 87.1 per cent. The total value of the manufactured product of smokiug tobacco in North Carolina in 1905 was §25,288.721. Rather unusual is the fact that the number of establishments decreased by half during the period mentioned. This situation is attributed tui the prevailng centralization methods in almost all branches of business. There was a big increase in the amount of capital employed in these manufacturing enterprises, which jumped from six and one half to more than thiity million dollars in the five years named. The number of wage earners was practically the same in both years but wages increased from $8(59,170 in 1900 to $1,230,088 in 1905. The cost of materials use' doubled during the five years. The jump was from $4,230,049 in 1900 to $8,861,772 in 1905. In the consumption of tobacco for the manufacture of chewing and smoking tobacco North Carolina took rank over all other States. The total number of pounds consumed in the Tar Heel Commonwealth was 87,440.484. Missouri comes next with a record of less than seventy millions in pi.uuds consumed. North Caro lina also led in the production el smoking and chewing tobacco. The total production was 68,502- 499. Missouri ran a very close second, while Kentucky was third and Virginia fourth. North Carolina does not take very high rank in the manufac ture of cigars and cigarettes. How ever, the value of these products in the State increased from $299,- 844 iu 1900 to $2,599,284 in 1905. The number of factories was six teen, and they consumed mat erials in 1905 to the value of $1,187 579, as compared with a consumption of $82,053 in mat erials in 1900. The number of cigais and cigarettes manufactur ed in the State in litos was 75,940,210, of which number 14,- 751,790, were cigars. The State of Maryland and Virginia produced 82 2 per cent of all the little cigars manufactur ed in 1904, while 85 5 per cent of the cigarettes were made in New York and Virginia.

John Hutchens, of Siloam, Killed By Nathan Donathan—Trouble Was Over Some Chickens. Winston, Sept. B.—Mr. John Hutchins, a well-known farmer of Siloam, Surry county, was mur dered Saturday evening by Nathan Donathan, a tenant on Mr. Hutch in's farm. After shooting Hutchins, Dona than took his gun and beat the man's brains out with the stock. Mr. Hutchins died in a few min utes. Donathan was arrested and is now in jail at Dobson. The trouble between the two men originated over some chick ens. It appears that when Dona than moved on Mr. Hutchin's place he was told that he could not keep chickens unless he kept them cooped. Donathan paid 110 attention to the notice. His fowls began interfering with Mr. Hutch in's truck patch and Saturday evening the owner of the land went over to remonstrate with Donathan about his chickens. The tenant flew into a passion and began cursing his landlord. His next move was to get his shotgun. He snapped it several times, but the gun refused to fire, it being unloaded. Donathan went back to bis house, loaded his gun and return ed, shooting Mr. Hutchins down. Both are men of families. The dead mau was well liked in his community. Donatnan is said to be a man of bad temper. A Good Word For Mr. Kitchin. Speaking of Mr. Kitchin the Greensboro Record truly says : "He has enemies eager to see him defeated for the nomination, but while he may have been a lit tle indiscreet, these enemies have been worse. Their zeal is running away with their judgment. You can cuss him all you please, but 'Bill' Kitchin is honest and frank. He is 110 demagogue; far from it; what he thinks he says and what he promises he will stick to if he thought thereby he was going to be defeated. It has in fact been said of him that he was too frank and open; that it would be better for him to leave unsaid many things, that there is 110 call for them; but this is not Kitchin; what he thinks, that he considers should be known by the people and he spouts it out. This is not saying that the other candidates are not just as honest, as open and as frank, but they are diplomats and use more tact." FOR SALE—A good organ in first class condition.
