The Board of trusstees of the Baptist College met at Wake Forest on the 20t !, and the matter of reconsideration of the location of the College occupied tiie whole time of the session of the board. Durham's proposition as originally made again before the board. A long discussion of the question was held re sulting in the adoption of the following resolution. First. Resolved, That the board sees no sufficient reason to change its decision to locate the Baptist College at Raleigh. Second. Believing that $no.ooo and a site will be required for building and equipping said college this board re quests the brethren and friends of Raleigh to raise said amount. The vote on the resolution was unani- nious, not a single vote being cast against it. The best of feeling prevailed, and all the trustees present expressed their de termination to join in harmoniously in making the College a success. This vote is final, and the committees on location and building were instructed to select a site at once, and make all arrangements for the buildings. Work will be begun some time during the summer months. In regard to Trinity College Raleigh will have to plank down ,f 120,000 or Dar ham will be sure to capture the prize. Judging from the meeting held in Dur ham by the Trustees on the 0th inst., as they asked Raleigh to release them. At a meeting of the Raleigh committee on iiday resolutions were passed, from which we take the following: AVhereas, We, as friends of the college believe that if located in Durham it will ue iu me uuust or tnose who are. an I will continue to be, its strongest friends and most able and willing supporters, there fore be it Resolved, That we, the committee, re- presenting the city of Raleigh, while we would be delighted to have the college ' here and are willing to perform our part i of the contract for its location here, would not stand in the way of a better offer and ; Jhus hinder its usefulness or retard its progress, and therefore hereby grant the request of the board of trustees and con i sent to release them and the North Caro- lina Conferrence of the M. E. church i South from any obligation, now existing j to remove Trinity College to Raleigh. MORNING, MARCH TIIi: COMMOXWKALTH CIjUR. Interesting KpeeheK Were 3Iale in Be half of' DiMerenl EnterpriweN. The Commonwealth Club held another important meeting Friday night, Captain John A. Williams in the chair. The first subject discussed was water works, by Mr. J. C. Hundley, who said he was still pushing his investigation. Maj. N. A. Gregory, Dr. E. T. White and Capt. John A. Williams made some excellent remarks upon the importance of establishing manufacturing enterprises, however small, which should engage the most earnest attention of our citizens. During the meeting it was mentioned that Davis & Gregory had purchased the old plant of the Cooper Tobacco Works, and would soon commence the manufac ture of smoking tobacco. It will be known as the Davis & Gregory Manufacturing Company, and will be organized in a few days. We learn that Mr. W. A. Davis will be President, and Mr. John G. Hall Treasurer. Such an enterprise is of great importance for the reason that Granville farmers make the very finest tobacco for smoking purposes. In this grade as well as in fine golden leaf wrappers Granville leads the world. We say push along the smoking tobacco factory. The Buffalo brand already has a splendid reputation where introduced. Dr. J. M. Hays, chairman of the com mittee on city and county maps and ad vertising scheme, rendered a report, stat ing that the services of Mr. Jno. W. Hays, Jr., could be secured at a reasonable cost to get up a map of the town and county. Major N. A. Gregory at once moved that a committee be appointed to go be fore the Town and County Commissioners and ask their co-operation in the matter of the map A county map is especially necessary as the location of the various minerals would accomplish an untold amount of good to our county. If our ! resources were properly advertised capi- talist would be induced to come and in vestigate them. The motion prevailed and the Presi dent appointed on that committee Major N. A. Gregory, Dr. J. M. Hays and Capt. R. V. Minor. This committee will arrange for the publication of descriptive matter to ad vertise Oxford and Granville county. We would be glad to serve them in this capacity as we have every facility for carrying out the work. The matter could be published in the Pursue Ledger and thousands of copies sent all over the country, which would be an excellent medium to reach the general public as a newspaper is al ways read in preference to a pamphlet. Fixing- lTp tiie Trust. The Cigarette Companies of the United States have formed a combine under the name of the American Tobacco Company. The property Including building, &c, in Oxford owned by W. S. Kimball & Co., of Rochester, N. Y., have been deeded to the above company by James C. Hart, ' Trustee. It is declared that this combine is no trust, and that no attempt will be made to freeze out smaller corporations. They have placed our farmers in the power of one man on each market who dic tates the prices that shall be paid them for their different grades of cutters. Far mers let us do all we can to wipe out this one man power from our market then you will get full value for your tobacco. Look Like Business. The contract for the new tobacco ware house for Messrs Davis & Gregory, to be built cn the Kingsbury properly by Mr. W. E. Owen, has been awarded to Mr. Jack Smith, of Halifax county, Va., a builder and contractor of many years ex perience. He will begin work as soon as the weather opens. The warehouse will be of brick, with a handsome two-story pressed brick front, surmounting by a tall bell tower. It will have a floor capacity of 75x200 feet with commodious offices, large storage base- ments, sleeping apartments for' the far- mers and brick stalls for horses Meeting; of Stockholder. The directors and stockholders of the Oxford & Clarksville Railroad was held in Oxford on Thursday. The following officers for the ensuinsr year were unanimously elected- Col A B. Andrews president; Messrs. J.'m" Currin R. Minor and W. A. Bobbitt, of Oxford and J S Cair, S. T. Morgan and B. L. Duke, of Durham, directors; Mai N. A. Gregory, secretary. Rats. When an egotistical fellow is shooting off his mouth and some one cries "rats" he is mad. The same may be said of the housekeeper when their pestiforous rodents destroy the results of her labor. Buy a box of "Tough for Rats" from Furman & Hays and avoid further trouble. 25, 1890 GIUXVILLE COUNTY.

Fxposiki- tiie Trio Us of (lie 31 an n fa et u rers. uano Mit. Editor : Believing you are friend ly to every interest of the farmers of this county we ask space to publish a few facts and som:e resolutions in reference to the guano manufacturing firm of Messrs. Alli son & Addison, of Richmond, Va. Last year we1 wrote this firm asking what they would sell us '-Star Brand Special To bacco Manure" and "Anchor Brand" Fer tilizer for cash by the car load. They wrote us$:J2 50 per ton, stating this was as low as the goods could be furnished. We afterwards bought the same brands for $29 50 per ton, any quantity, even a single bag, from theii agents. A few weeks ago we wrote them again offering them 27 per ton cash by car load lots for said brands. They replied by offering them to us at $2S per ton, saying that after deducting freight it is as law as the Guanos cuiihl he sold. We learned in the mean time that they were selling them to their agjents at even a less price than we had offered them. Just as we were expecting to get, as last year, better terms from their agents for their own Guanos than fromjthem, the manufacturers, along comes thej General Agent of the firm in a two horse buggy with a negro driving him, the jexpense of which has to be added to ie cost of these Guanos and paid for y the farmers, issuing orders that any :gent who sells for less than $28 per ton -.$11 at once be dismissed. Con sequentbyHt comes to this: "if the Alli ance get my Guanos they must pay us more for them than those not members, for we will not sell them for less nor al- low any one else to do. Now you old farmers come into measures." This state of affairs hecessitated tiie following reso lutions:: Lome Stau Alliance, No. 589, Adonikam, Ghanviixe Coitnty. Whereas, Messrs. Allison & Addison, of Richmpnd, Va., in addition to leading the "pool" to evade the payment of the license tax to yell fertilizers in this State are pro fessing also to be making "special" terms with the Alliance on their Guanos, and Whereas, As it appears that these "spe cial" terms are a mere sham from the fact that they have one price to their agents and a higher price to the Alliance, and Wherea, We are informed that they postively forbid theiragents selling to the Alliance for a less price than they have fixed, and j Whereat, It is directly contrary to the principles of the Alliance to buy from any man or set of men who discriminate against, the Alliance, therefore be it Resolved 1st, That we will not use a single pound of the Guanos manufactured by this firm as long as such a state of facts exist! Resolved 2d, That we request each and every Alliance to adopt and carry out said resolutions or some similar in effect. Resolved 3d, That a copy of these reso lutions be sent to the Puisne Ledgek of Oxford and the Progressive Firmer with the request to publish the same.

Rhodes, Perkinson & Co., have bought the general merchandise stock of Moseley & Watkins, and continue the business with increased facilities.
