" Roberts & Co. -buy all crades' of briarht emort tobacco and scraps, and are excellently prepared to put up all grades or leal, or to strip by either steam or natural season. ' , The firm has purchased about one and a half million pounds of tobacco this sea son, which is considerably more than any other buyer's purchase on the Kins- ton market, with the exception of the American Tobacco Co., though there are quite a number of other large buyers on our market. Mess. T. E. Roberts & Co. are progres sive and enterprising, and their business hero has more than doubled over tnat oi a vear a cfo. In fact they have been in creasing it largely every . year tphive been nere. They put up tobacco exclu sively on orders. - y . The success of the firm is due greatly to the hard, constant and continuous work of Mr. Fleming, who. is al ways to be found on the warehouse floors when sales are going on. Mr. Fleming follows the sales closely, and on many grades ne is the strongest bidder, "i and adds much strength to our market. He is a clever gentleman and has made a host of friends among tne business men oi j&mston. Mess. T. E.

Nw-Obterver. . t The tobacco farmers, who are fighting to secure lair prices lor tneir tobacco, adopted a plan known as the Jordan plan, which looks to controlling the pro duct of bright ; tobacco.- Many have doubted whether it was practicable, though they had no plan they regarded as better. There is a successful precedent for the plan adopted, Mr. J. G. Johnson, of Kansas, vice-chairman or the Demo cratic national executive committee, has written a letter to Mr. W.' J. Groom, of Guilford county, saying that the Jordan plan is the most practical method of deal ing with trusts he has yet heard of, and adding some account of this successful precedent: 'It is practically the same thing as has been adopted with very , satisfactory re sults by the grape growers in western New York. Prior to their adoption- oft At iii ..V mis scneme tney were au ac sea aDOUi prices, and nobody, was making any money. ' Now, instead of selling grapes in a miscellaneous way, they are turned into the mutual company which they have organized. There they are crated and sold by the company, and the total proceeds for the season distributed among the growers, who are In the pool, in proportion to each one's production arid the grade of his product." Since the organization of the Tobacco Trust, it has systematically robbed the armer of at least one-third of the true value of the tobacco he has produced, and reduced the growers of tobacco from in dependent, successful farmers to the verge of ruin.

I A ... , , Ejuger Cables to .Salisbury Ask ing a Cessation of Hostilities and Proposing Terms Whioh Do Not Meet England's' Sweeping c De "mands and WillNot Be Seriously Considered. London, March 0. Late this afternoon it is learned that the peace rumors were founded on tne fact that President Kru ger has appealed to Lord Salisbury for a cessation of hostilities, offering at length, by cable, the terms which be Is willing to accept. ; These however, are not taken seriously as they include prac tically nothing more than what the Transvaal government offered prior to tne issuing oi the Urttish ultimatum. Ofilcial circles here regard the " propo sitions as merely a ruse of the Boers to gain time, and do not consider that Pres ident Kruger is yet ready to consider the sweeping demands which' Great Britain will make as reimbursement for the loss Of life and great expenditure. " . It was understood that President Kru- ger s advances had .met with an emphatic rejection at the hands of Lord Salisbury, who is believed to have said that no such attempt to retain the independence of tne Transvaal can be considered for, a moment by the British Government. - Clements at Norvalspont. London, March 9. The war office has issued the following dispatch from Lord Roberts: , - ' - . t t :. "Clements has occupied Norvalspont and the adjacent drift. As soon as the engineers, pontoon and troops arrive, he will cross the river when the necessary repairs to the rail way bridge will be com menced. .

A Dispatch Says the Free Staters Wish to Submit. London, March 9 .From various quar ters comes siiras of the nossibilitv of peace in South Africa being shortly with in the bounds of practical politics. - All the dispatches from Lord Roberts' head quarters, including those of the com mander-in-chief himself, indicate the lack of guiding spirit among : the Boers and individual demoralization, portending disintegration unless speedily stemmed. The night of the burghers from Poplar Grove, according to all accounts, was wholly inglorious. H A Times dispatch from Poplar Grove under yesterday's date, goes so far as to assert that the rout of the Boers was so .complete that the submission of the Free State is being demanded by the burghers from - their unwilling president, and it is expected that its submission will be made within a week. S'C'-'S'io". '.:- vryyfi: The correspondent adds: ' f i- .y; -:;;y, "Probably the Boers' wisestcourse was flight, but it was most undignified, and is certain to produce consternation : at Bioemfontem. There is a jrrowinir out cry against any further identification of the Free State with the Transvaal s in terest.". , Dispatches from the Boer camp at Glen- coe, via Lourenzo Marques, depict Pres ident Kruger as donning a bandolier, seizing a rifle and inviting volunteers to accompany him, as he wished to have a shot at the enemy himself. . President Kruirer is ' also quoted as having declared in his address to the troops, that he "did not know whether arbitration or intervention would end the struggle, but that it would end quickly, within the next month he strongly believed." - Meanwhile the British are not -staying their advance. Lord Roberts has moved 10 miles nearer Bloemfontein, evidently with the view of seizing and utilizing the railroad, possibly to reach the Free State capital in three or four days, whence he may begin repairing the railroad south ward, meeting the British advance from Cape Colony, which may be expected to be hastened as soon as uen. W bite takes control. The British occupied James town unopposed Thursday, March 8th, and the Boers are reported to be retreat ing beyond Aliwai Korth, so - that Cape Colony is practically : clear' of armed Boers.

Warren's divis ion and some artillery have already been ordered to Join the commander-in-chief so that the latter is preparing for all eventualities, including possible des perate opposition to his crosoing the Vaal river and the necessity of the siege of Pretoria, where thousands of natives are reported to be employed in the' con struction of defensive works, concerning which such secrecy is maintained that no one is allowed to walk or drive ; on the outskirts of the town, y a NO BOERS ON FRENCH'S FRONT. March to Bloemfontein Will Be , . Probably Unopposed. . V ,' Poplar Grove, Orange Free State March 9. Gen. French, who is ten miles ahead, reports that his front is clear of the Boers. All other reports tend to con firm the state of disorganization of the Boer forces, Transvaal as1 well as; Free State. The general impression is that the further ' progress of the British to Bloemfontein will not be opposed, i . FRENCH FOLLOWS THE BOERS. He Keeps Between Them and . Blo- emfonteln. . Mafeking Needs Help - Badly. London, March 9.The Boers appear to have made no stand whatever except that while in retreat they twice repulsed Gen. French's cavalry with rifle fire. The enemy probably got away with their entire force. Gen; French is still follow ing them and keeping between them and Bloemfontein. The evacuating of the northern dis tricts of Cape Colony is now complete. The British are in possession of the rail road crossings. Coif Baden-Powell at Mafeking' seems to be in grave need of outside help. Other wise he would not allow the correspon dents to send out information respect ing the distress of the garrison. . Gen. White is to go to Stormberg to take supreme command of Gen. Gatacre's division and the Tenth division, now in process Of formation, which will be under the immediate command of Gen. Hunter, Sir George White's chief of staff. VAIN OVE2TRES OF . PEACE. A Rumor That They Were Made ; By the Two Republics. London,. March 9.The Daily News makes the following editorial announce ment;' - "It was rumored in London yesterday -and we have some reason for believing the rumor to be correct that the two republics made informal . and " unofficial overtures of peace on the preceding day. "Unfortunately the conditions suggest ed were of such a character as to pre clude the possibility of. leadings, to any' result. Terms which might nave been gladly accepted before the war, in order to avert it, are impossible after the war, with all the sacrifices it has entailed." . Intrenoh&g at Biffgardsburg. , . Ladysmith, March, 8 j The Boers are intrenching at Biggarsburg. The scouts report that all the Natal , Butch farmers have fled from the surrounding . country. Sentenced" an American Citizen. ' London, March 9. The Daily Mail has the following from Kimberley, dated Wednesday, March 7th: '"Benjamin Silpent, born in Russia, and alleged to be an American citizen, has been sentenced to three years' im prisonment at hard labor for signalling to the enemy, during the siege." At the sale of the late Duke of .West minster's string of race horses, which took place Thursday at Eingsclere, Eng., Flying Fox, winner in 1899 of the Derby, the Two-thousand Guineas, the Eclipse Stakes, and the Doncaster St. Leger, was purchased by Edmond Blanc for 37,500 guineas ($190,900). Blanc is the son of the founder of Monte tarlo and brother- in-law of Rolaod Bonaparte. Flying Fox is a 4 year-old bay colt. It is very hard to stand idly, by and see our dear ones suffer while awaiting the arrival of the doctor. An Albany (N. i.; dairyman called at a -drug store there for a doctor to come and see his child, then very sick with croup. Not finding the doctor in, be left word for him to come at once on nis return, lie also bought a' bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which he hoped' would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In a few hours he returned,- say ing the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The druggist, Mr. Otto Scholz, says the family has since recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to their , neighbors and friends until he has a constant demand for it from that part of the country.
