C, Nov. 19, 1910 The report published through out the State of the sales of to bacco made by the various mar kets did our town a very, great injustice, as they 'gave us credit for only 826, 310 pounds, when as a matter of fact we sold al most that amount in one . week during Oct. . . The actual . sales' were -one million three hundred and twen-) ty thousand four hurdred" and thirty five pounds; which places us ahead of some of . 'our neighbors. - Just watch Roxboro. we are puV ling f oi ' ten million ppunds . and if our tarmer friends stick to the market as they have been doing this season we will : get it. Why not?

These institutions are worthy of the heartiest support of our people and they have a large place in their interest and gifts and efforts. At the Thanksgiving season minds and hearts tarn especially toward our orphanages and many are the practical expres sions of gratitude made to tins cause by a people richly blessed. These love-prompted gifts to carry on this blessed work ith these little ones surely must be acceptable to God, the Father of the fatherless. It seems that, here in North Carolina, Thanksgiving Day has all v sp.t aDart as "Orphans' Da'Vand we rejoice that this is true. The, contri butions made at this season help very much indeed in the sup port of our various orphanages. trtiot, thn.t p.vp.n larsrer of- fori n era will be made at tins Thanksgiving season than ever before to the end that these in stitutions niay be the better able to perform their service. They need funds for maintenance, for improvement and for the exten sion of the work. : - Want Prison Sentences. Washington; Nov. 16.Prison sentences for conivcted trust of ficials; rather than the imposition of fines, is to be ufleea, by tne ae- partment of Justice, according to :he present program of Attorney General Wickersham, who heard oday mat a convicted company had reduced the wages of its employes in order to regain the amount as sessed by a federal court. The attorney general was in an indignant frame of mindjwhen' he learned of a'report that the Impe rial Window Glass company, ol Pittsbure. whose -officers were re cently fined $1 0,000 because of an alleged violation of the anti-trust law, intend to reduce the wages of about 700 employes This sort of retaliation does not appeal to the attorney general, ; and the attitude of the Pittsburgconcern mayresul in the future insistence UDon the part of the jattorneysof the depart mpnt that Federal courts shall im pose prison sen ences. J It is understood that the attorn ey general has some facts in his possession that may result iri fur- Ither action agafrist the Impeiral company,' under the - Sherman law. The Durham Hearld says; "As the Democrats' do not want to bring the matter up 1 and the RepubUcans will be afraid, pro- hibition will be allowed to rest for awhile."
