BROUGHT $75 PER HUNDRED . r ' J- During the Past Week the Prices on the Roxboro Market Have Been the Most Satisfactory of the Sea. son. i' Mr. "Son" Dunn received the highest price at the Pioneer Ware house last week that has : been ob tained by any one on this marktt during the season. He sold 16 lbs. of tobacco, for $75.06 per hundred. During the past week we saw -some of tbe best pleased farmers that we have met up with at "any time during the season. . A number who have been selling in Durham and elsewhere said they did better here than on anv other market They seemed to be well satisfied, and will doubtless come again. We must not neglect to say that the fine pile of wrappers sold by Mr. Dunn, mentioned above, was bought by the leaf firm of Iong,& Walters. Mr. Dunn sold 309 lbs. at : the Pioneer oq the same day, averaging $31.08. He sold 48 lbs. at $10 75; 62 lbs. at $20.00; 105 lbs. at $46.00; 40 lbs. . t $35 00; 38 lbs at $11.00; 16 lbs. at $75 00 " Tbe above are only a' few of prices obtained on the market, there being many other splendid averages at the different warehouses.

One Russian torpedo boat destroyer was sunk and several Russian torpedo, boats seriously damnged. The fortifications and city were submitted to, a heavy bombardment, lasting nearly four hours. Tbe naval bombardments of the land works have generally been ineffective, yet the peculiar topographical conditions of Port Awl - n . . Arthur make immunity from serious loss from bombardment almost, im-. possible. Admiral Togo's . torpedo flotilla opened the action by boldly ... . v ' " , : . . ' j steamingn under the batteries and successfully placing a number of mechanical mines in the harbor. '-The closing action was the bom bardment if the inner harbor by the Japanese battleships. The-latter took a position, southwest of Port Arthur and used only their, twelve inch guns in the squadron of six battleships, and each gun fired five rounds, making' a total of 12b huge projectiles that were fired at ; the city, The bombardment was de liberate and carefully planned. In order to aid in perfecting the firing Admiral Togo stationed the cruisers in a position due east of the'entrance tothe harbor, and at right, angles to , the , battleships. The ' cruisers obseryed the range and effect of the firing and signaled the results and suggestions bv .wireless.- telegraphy. Admiral Togo was unable to I learn definitely the results -of the bom bardment, but later private reports indicate that much destruction (was caused in ; thV city where serious fires broke out. There was also damage to batteries. Letter From Senex.

M He asserted it as his opinion that the report was "char acterized by politics and is parti san.,, In suppo. t of that ; assertiou he pointed out t hat while; members on both sides "oMbe House - were in it, in ttie case of the prominent Re publicans whose names were men tioned every mateiial fact that served to exonerate them , from any chargCbr fact was carefuHy put in, while in ihe case of the less promi nent members on that side and - o all the JDemocrats no such pains were taken, and in iriany cases, i. not in all, t. ere had been 1 'delioer ate suppression of important and material facts which should not be overlooked, f actswhich were a part of the record-tiled in every 'case.' These factum-myjvj umeh tr-were suppressed for the purpose of giving to the country a false impression and misleading the public.

' ; . - Mr. Kitchin went on to say that the charges that Congressmen were implicated .with the , grafters was originally made for the purpose of preventing Congressional irivestiga's tion . But that when specifications had been called lor the - department had not had the courage to meet the demand boldly, specifying plainly the instances in -which the law had been violated. On . the other hand there was evasion and a. mixing of names in a way to confuse the pubw ! lie as to who was the guilty ' and who the innocent. This he declared was done Mto blackmail K Congress, to silence Congress and silence the country.!' With that he came to his own part in the reporti the lease of the postoffice building at Oxford He believed no fair, no good or re spectable man wno knew him wouH ever suspect him of wrongdoing in regard thereto, but for feai that hereafter some blackmailer or back f biter of mean disposition ; w onld re fer to the lack of an explanation he Wanted to gire it now; With' that he went over the whole transaction at-ength, showing ; the considera- tions'that led - him to regard the lease as a just ana proper pae, ana hence caused him to recommend it In doing this he called attention to the absence of certain material facts and papers from the report of the caie and jaid -it thereby distorted ihe facts and prodnced a false 1 im pression. HOG AND HOMINY. On Accont of High j Prices pi "What the Farmers: Have to Buy,- Col. . Cuningham Advis8 the Raisins; of iHupplies at Home. . . ' , Ool. John S: Cuningham; of Cun ingham, Pet eon county, ''writes as follows to the'. Raleigh : News', and (Sbserver -' ?';f : : V i;ast fall I advised our : farmer8 to hold their tobacco; that I though t it would go higherl : While tobacco is not selling as high" as itjdid in 1902 and early part of- 1903, the prices paid for it t have advanced since the cto'p came in-Jast fall. The high prie of flour, meat and what, the farmers 'have ; to , buy should impress upon them the im portance of raising their own; sup plies at home. If all the farmer wiU do this, it vill greatly reduce the acreage in tobacco, and by rais ing- their own supplies and. tobacco and'eotton. as their money' crops many hundreds of thousands of dolfars will be' kept in our Statv JThis has been my, position always and I will thankyou to print thtfs etter, and will appreciate it if .pa- pers in the tobacco and' cotton belt wili'alao publish-it." Col. Cuningham alsowntes a etter to the South Boston" New in which he . practically reiterate what U containelin the above. He says in the last paragraph: r'Let our peoglein this Piedmont section of Virginia and North'Caro Una raise their own hog and hominy and vegetables, and tobacco as their money crop." , It Seems to Follow. Adverting to the language of the anti jug law that the place of de livery of intoxicating liquors J 'shall be, constxueci and held to , be the place of sale," and to the decision of the Supreme Court a perfectly proper decision, it seems to us- that this act applies not on'y to the four counties named in it, "bit to the entire State, The Wilmington Messenger; savs: ; ' TNow, the question is; will not' a meiai construction oi tnis lan guage make a distiller indictable for shipptng. whiskey : anywheie in the State, whether the place of shipment is prohibited territory or not without first taking out license at1 every point to which he sliips his goods? In other words, whiskey cannot legally be solo without li- cense anywhere; in the State, and if the place of delivery is, in every instance, the place of sale, it would seem to be a reasonable couclusibn that it will, be necessary, in: the fu ture for distillers & and wholesalers to secure license at every 'point to 1 3 will be on the Northern !
