If any doubt on theques- lion exists asK 1. ai. currin. ... If the farmers attending court here could see the- results of J. M. Currin's first curing in his new Snow Barn, they would wonder why they allowed him 16 make all the money on the tobacco crop. 4 Davis & Gregory, the warehouse men, knoxw a good thing when they see it. They expect ihe Snow Barn curing to keep them busy all the year. Maj. Gregory is complaining that ht wiil lose his vacation. A few people in town were surprised io see J. M. Currin looking and act ing as if he -had just found something new. It was all made plain when it wa. discovered that his Snow Barn was the biggest thing on earth. We think that Oxford will gladly welcome the new Tobacco Barn Com pany if all its members show the publi spirit or its representative in our citv today. Look for his fine team and take a ride witli him to Currin' farm. , The wonderful results reached at J. M. Currin's new Snow Barn are large lv due. to Brown. Smith, the curer. It is currently reported that Mr. Roney was so much pleased with the curing that he presented Smith with a golc watch; Mr. James B. Roney, Secretary oi the Modern Tobacco , Barn Co., ha had a hack running from the court house every hour today, carrying far mers free to J. M. Currin s farm to see the"" wonderful tobacco cure in the New Snow Barn.

' , NOT GUILTY. That Wag the Verdict Quickly Ren dered In the John Toung Cue. , "Guilty or not guilty ?" asked the clerk. The foreman of the jury replied : L"Not guilty V V. . . " . And the prisoner heaved a great sigh of relief. John Young was on trial tor his life, and those two words meant for him escape from the gal lows. . : , Young was charged with the murder of Dick Landis. Land is entered Young's restaurant one Saturday night in April, and the two men had a row in which Young killed Landis. Young ran away, but was captured the next morning. He claimed that the killing was done in self defence. He was indicted for murder at the last term of Superior Court, and Wednesday morning the case was called. , A jury was selected from" regular jurors and a special venire of one bundrcd Gra ham & Winston appeared ffir the de fendant, and Solicitor Strayborn.rep resented the State. Ihe taking ot testimony was concluded before recess yesterday, and about dusk the " lawyers finished speaking, the judge delivered his charge and the twelve men retired. i ney were in tneir room not more 'than three minutes, and on their return rendered a verdict of not gijilty. Young was immediately - released, and is on the streets today; shaking hands with his friends. 7 " He Got the;iirirseltnek. " An alarm of "stop thiefV was raised on the street last night, .and persons looking out saw a marr:;riding -rapidly through town on horseback . followed by several others on foot. THE'DAYreporter, upon investiga tion, found that , two men had been trading horses in the afternoon, and one of them becoming dissatisfied yith the trade, went stealthily to where his former horse was stabled .and rode1 nim off. Chief of Police Renn was quickly upon the scene of action, but did nqt think, under the circumstances, that he was justifiable in following the illeged thief. A warrant was issued this morning, but we learn that it has been since withdrawn. With Quick Dispatch. Mr. James B. Roney, Secretary of the Modern Tobacco Barn Company, vasvin Oxford four weeks ago to exam ine the proposal of the Oxford Land, Improvement and Manufacturing Com pany. He casually met Mr. J. M. Currin, and while he was not. here to sell barns, he took an order for a com plete barn from Mi. Currin. A week later the barn arrived. '.The company sent a man to superintend the erection of it. It was finished last Saturday. On Tuesday it was filled with prim ing leaves. To-day the 100,000 leaves are cured and ready for mar ket. Postponed.

A Visit to the Modern Curing Barn at J. M. Cnrrin' Farm Near Oxford--'A (Sreat Enterprise. We have said )ut little about the new industry which our Oxford L., I. & M. Co. have induced to locate in Oxford.1 Our readers know that we are' not in the habit of recommending anything we have not seen proved, but now we can speak from actual observa tion. " After hearing a great deal of talk about the New Snow , Barn built on Mr. J. M. Currin's farm, we drove out yesterday to see wiiat it meant. To say that we vere surprised, does not tell half the truth. A modest, unpre tentious frame barn, sixteen by twenty feet, was shown to us with the state ment that there was more tobacco leaves in it than could be put in four log barns with the old method of cur ingj Although we cloubted the state ment, we were willing to operf the door." A sight presented itself to us that would make the heart of every farmer in Granville county beat high. . Mr Currin had. taken off his field there 1 100,000 leaves, which he had always thrown away, and put them into this wonderful new barn. There they hang, every leaf separated from every other one, so that a uniform heat and air could strike them, and each one rivaling the other in its golden beauty. Verily, the day of deliverance for our tobacco growers is at hand. The) will " no longer throw away the best leaves of their tobacco plants.. The) will no longer waste time, money and fuel in curing tobacco stalks, which when cured have no market value. They will no longer use eight cord, of wood to cure what one half cord will cure better. They will no longer build six barns when one will do the work better in half the .time required by any other method. They will no longer lose eight leaves on each plant when they can cure them and make them worth more money than the eight leaves they are now. saving. . - The Snow process of curing adds 20 per cent to the weight of the to bacco. Itmakes the richest anpl- best mahogony fillers and the finest wrap pers that are ever marketed. That it makes good cutters everybody admits. Mr. S. P. Carr, of Carr & Dickinson, Richmond, Va. , says he has never seen such wrappers and fillers as have been sent to him from the Snow Barn curing. - We must congratulate our Oxford people that in a few'weeks we will have in our midst this industry," which wili give employment to large numbers of people in the various branches of man ufacturing which pertain to the com pany's business. ; Four.years ago this business was started on a capital of twenty-five hun dred dollars. The sales already made this - year aggregate $100,000. The barns and sticks are in use in seven States in the tobacco belt, and it is the intention of the company after getting permanently settled in Oxford to in-' trociuce their process , and their . goods into every State where tobacco is or can be grown.. We were surprised to see" letters from Canada, Belgium, South Africa and Australia asking for information about the Snow 'process. The company have a very beautiful anI ilustrated pamphlet "Which they maj 1 free on application. . ; PURELY PERSONAL. The Doings and. Whereabouts of Some . People Yon Know. A. G.
