so It will be seen that there will besufflclent

as to the price. That presents a rosy
prospect also. It Is a , well known fact
that no market in the State , has a
stronger corps of buyers than bas been
on the : local market the past several
years, practically ail tnesw win do nera
next season with other additions, among
Wch wilt be a buyer for the Imperial
Tobacco Co. An account of this com
pany bas been published, but : briefly it
is1 an organization formed by foreign
firms to contest for the weed with the
American Tobacco Co. This is expected
to make the price higher, certa nly as
Ipng aa the two big corporations fight
each other. Some fear has beenexpressed
that they will combine' after fighting a
short while and hurt the tobacco . Indus
try, Most of the people who make a
living out of the tobacco business, ; bow-
ever, figure that tnese mannractunng
firms must have the tobacco, even If they
combine, and that they - must pay the
farmers a sufficient profit to induce him
to raise it, and that furthermore they
cannot do away with warehouse because
It would bs impracticable to buy a com
modity such as tobacco direct from the
farmers and that the present plan Is the
beit and cannot and will not be upset.
A meeting of the tobacco board of
trade will be called in a few days to con
sider the question of running double sales
next season. This Is generally considered
neceesary and no doubt will be done.
Everything considered, there Is a rosy
prospect for the Kinston tobacco' market
next season.

who poisoned the family of Dr. Tayloe,
"Lynching or Suicide" and presented the
following very plausible theory of suicide:
"Soon after the polsonlnar. the nemr
was taken to Willlameton Tail for saf
keeping. And It may be that be broke
out of jail, (there's no doubt about th
jail being broken open) made a trip to
Washington, prowled about and cltmhed
a tree for observation. While In the tree
lost his balance and fell. Beingencumbered
with a few ropes one might have caught
"on to" the limb, the other around hi
neck, and thus he was jerked to. the
happy hunting grounds.' v
King overlooked the other perfectly na
tural presumption that the ropes got
tangled about the negro's arms so as to
pinion them behind him and draw the
legs tightly together with" hard knots.
01 course, when you come to think of It. -
It was a clear case of suicide.
