The effort ofThe "American tolacco trtrst to destsov tbe hu-iness of t he Wells-Whitehead company of this place is watched by our people with great interest. Less than a year ago this company was organized and the manufacture and sale of "Carolina Brigbts''cigarette8 begun. Thecompany was organized with a capital stock of f 10.000, but in a short time the business grew to such importance that the capital stock was increased to H0.00Q "Caroi lina Brights" became so popular thai they are now sold as fast as the present capacity of the company permits their manufacture and their market is con fined to no particular locality. The growing popularity of these cigarettes has caused the American tobacco trust to fear competition from this source,-and Ihe agents of tbia outlaw of commerce have put their engines of. destruction to work' to destroy this company. The streets are strewn with advertisements offering all sorts of inducements to' peo ple to smoke the cigarettes made by the trust;-' there is no ' device of oppression that can be conceived of (and the agents of the trust have great experience in this kind of business), that will - not be. pnt into operation to trash pHt any indepen dent business that stands in the way of this monopoly. (. : 'The people are determined that .this trust 'shall not crush out this independent company, for they 4ee that this is an en tering wedge that may-burst the' trust. God grant that it may, for we have suf fered enough at the bands of these "bri gands of commerce," and the people own jt to. themselves to foster andlencourage every ihdependent enterprise that prom-' isea1 to block the onward march of mo. nopolyv., .

A story to the ef fect that tbe government cotton crop re port, which will be made "public tomor row, had been offered to certain, cotton brokers in this city in advance, received corroboration today. Frank B. bnest, head of a cotton commission house, said toniffbt that advance information was offered to him on Saturday. He immediately.notified President Hub bard, of the cotton exchange.

Rich, of Chattanooga, will be present. Three meetings will beheld' to which the public ts invited. The first commences at 10 o'clock in tbe morning. Tlif Baptist convention at Raleigh adopted a resolution to erect a monu ment at the head of the grave of Dr. Columbus Durham in Oakwood cemetery in Raleigh, and J.C.Caddell, Noah Biggs, ' J. W. Bailey, V. E. Taylor and V. B. Jas--tice were appointed a committee to re ceive contributions to thi object. s Durham Herald: News reached the city yesterday of tbe loss by fire of the home of Miss Minnie Jenkius in Burlington. The fire occurred late in the tight Mon day. The residerice ot Miss Jenkins was but recently Completed and cost some where, in the neighborhood of f 2,000. No one had moved into the building and for that reason it is supposed it was ql inoendiary origto..-?- ' " Carthage Blade: ' Capt. W.' B. Phillips, who lives, on 'Tyson's Creek, nearr the Chatham line, a few .nights ago had his dwelling and kitchen burned and ail their " contents, including bis wheat and meat. The house was new and be bad Jost moved into it. Capt. Phillips thinks it 5 Hie work, ofan incendiary. A few years ago there was an epidemic of burning in that same community. Winston Sentinel: 'At last February . term - of -Guilford ' superior court J. H. ' ,Clark, a farmer of ' that county, , was granted an absolute divorce from his wife on the grounds of desertion. It devel oped later that he was living with his ' wife tJ, the time, and a few " weeks ago she had "him indicted for perjury. .. The case came up iu court and the attorneys for , the defendant entered a plea of nolo contendere. Judge Hoke then dismissed the 'case, dissolved the divorce previously granted and required Clark to give bond " for the support of his wife. There are 280 students at the Raleigh . Agricultural and Mechanical College, There is much need of accommodations and more students apply than can be , received.1' Ninety -three are self-supporting. The Raleigh Post gives the distri bntiOn as follows: "One hundred and twenty-one sons of farmers, twenty-. seven of merchants, thirteen of manu facturers, twelve of lawyers, twelve of pbyeicidnsv six of ministers, six of book keepers, five lumbermen, three printers, three clerks,, three .traveling salesmen, three millers, three mechanics, three machinists, three cotton brokers, two building contractors, two engineers." .' Durham Herald: The Wilson News calls on the people of that town for more liberal support and intimates what may happen if it does not get it. The News is alive local paper and is a credit to the town in which it is published, but we -believe its editor is on the wrong tack when be talks hard times. If the people . of the town do not appreciate, a daily paper to the extent of giving it support sufficient to enable it to live, we believe . it useless to argue tbe matter with them. The newspaper of today is a business -institution, having very little sentiment about it, and whenever we cannot make . both ends meet and do not see better prospects ahead, right there we quit. : F..II.' Busbee, of Raleigh, reports a strange and sensational trial in Beaufort .' court last week. In the North Carolina supreme court reports there is the. cause of a man named Brooks, tried for rape it being in evidence that he personated the woman's husband. The court held . that it was not rape; that fraud was not rape. The legislature in 1881, according- -ly, enacted a law to meet such cases. Up to that time such a case had never been tried in the State and some thought there wonld never be another. The legislative act made tbe offense rape and fixed the minimum penalty at ten years in the penitentiary. ' Chas. William was last week tried for the same offense and convicted. He attempted to prove knowledge, oif the woman's part, but tbe latter's evidence promptly convicted him. - .
