II RIG INDUSTRY. I
The American Cigar Company
Enlarging Its Home Plant
But Will Establish no
More Branch Fac- 1
tories.
(Special Correspondence.)
Greensboro, Nov. 29. The American
Cigar Company, which secured a lease
on the large five story brick building
corner Greene and West Gaston streets,
and began the manufacture of cigars
here four years ago, last week purch
ased the building and will at once large
ly increase the output. When the com
pany began the manufacture of cigars'
as air experiment in Greensboro, it waa
an up-hill business getting operatives.
Mr. J. T. Wade, who came as superin
tendent, and Mr. A. H. Stack, as office
man, have stuck to their posts, from
the beginning, and though discouraged
at first, have lived to see a develop
ment of business that is gratifying.
The weekly pay roll for the first year
was about $700. The cigars made were
of the cheaper kind, few being of the
five cent class. This year the pay roll
for opera1 ives alone amounts to $2,600
each week. A large proportion of the
cigars are of the tent cent class, the
daily cigar product ia 60,000, and the
factory is 2,000,000 cigars behind on or
ders. They are working now two nights
in the week hoping to get within a mil
lion of the demand by the first of Janu
ary. Few people in Greensboro have
any idea of the immense business that
is being done by this factory, or that
early next year the building will have
to be enlarged to accommodate the in
creased force. The American Cigar
company now operates forty factories
in the United States, and has notified
manager Wade that it will establish
no more new factories, and he will have
to enlarge the plant . which they have
purchased in Greensboro. Most of the
operatives here are native women and
girls, coming from the city and sur
rounding country, and they are splen
did workers. One fifteen-year old boy
has become an expert, he makes $13 a
week, and several ladies in the higher
class of work average thirty dollar a
month. Manager Wade is justly proud
of the personnel of his operatives, and
takes pride in the fact that they are
the best people of the community. ; A
great deal of the tobacco used cost $3
a pound, thia of course being the suma
tra wrapper, which feels like ailk.

THE INLAND WATERWAY
'
The Second Annual' Meeting
at Wilmington Fraught
WithGreat Importance
to the People of
t ;-. . ', This Section .
Th Inland Waterway ; Convention
which waa held in Wilmington Tuesday
waa one of much importance and it is
very probable that the systematic and
energetic method in which the Inland
Waterway question is being handled
will result in some good. .
iWe publish some extracts of. some
proposed resolutions taken from the
Wilmington Evening Dispatch which
seta forth the propose of the meeting
ing in a plain and explicit manner:
"This Association, with great re;
spect, desires to emphasize its conclu
sion that there is now no valid reason
whj the construction of this important
waterway should be longer delayed. It
is not only within the jurisdiction of
Congress but the interests involved are
of sufficient importance to demand
favorable consideration.
The facts which demonstrate its nec
essity are many, but this Association
will submit a few of the controlling
factors, which justify this conclusion.
It is well known that the volume of the
coastwise trade between the South At
lantic ports is comparatively small, both
in tonnage' and in value. It is confined
to large steamships and large modern
sailing vessels. This is true because of
the hazardous navigation around Cape
Hatteras and Diamond Shoals. Ihe
treacherous sands projecting far out in
to the sea from Cape Hatteras have at
all times created a barrier prohibiting
free commercial intercourse by water
between the people of the two sections.
The construction of this proposed water
way will avoid .not alone the dangers of
Cape Hatteras, but also of Cape Look
out, and will make possible the imme
diate introduction of small vessels and
steamers, and particularly of barges in
the coastwise trade. Philadelphia and
Baltimore on the North, together with
Jacksonville and Savannah on the
South, are equally as much interested
in this project, as are other and inter
mediate seaboard cities located upon
interior rivers. It has been shown that
the increased prosperity due to the
commerce to be promoted, added to the
amount saved in cheaper transport,
would in a few years equal the initial
cost of construction.
This waterway is only one of many
other waterways along the seaboard
and in the interior which are now press
ing for consideration. There can be no
doubt that ultimately a chain of water
ways will be constructed along the en
tire Atlantic Seaboard; that a canal
across the peninsula of Florida will con
nect the Atlantic with the Gulf, and
that the wonderful commerce of the
Lakes will be physically water connec
tions with that of the Mississippi and
the Gulf, thua forming a chain of pro
tected water routes and afford the
greatest inducement for. the continued
extension and development of our do
mestic trade While rot minimizing
the importance of any other meritorous
project, we submit with deference that
the project under consideration is of
greater relative importance, because
its construction will at once make pos
sible a large coastwise trade.
Following are some of the commit
tees appointed who represent this sec
tion:
New Bern, N. C Chas. R. Thomas,
Chaa. G. Blades, J. J. Wolfenden and
T. G. Hyman, representing the Cham
ber of Commerce.
Beaufort, N. C J. S. Sanders, W.
Chadwick and C. L. Abernethy,
representing the Chamber of Commerce.
Senator Simmons ia not a delegate,
but a decided enthusiast just the same.
Postal Increase Shows Gratifying
Growth
(Special Correspondence.)
Greensboro, Nov. 29. Judging from
the Greensboro postoffice receipts for
the three quarters of 1906, the big re
cord of increase of previous years will
be broken thia year. The receipts for
1906 will approximate 170.000. Six
years ago they were only 131,000.00.
They increaaed about $3,C00ayeara
year until 1903 then total receipts' were
S43 000 and lumped to $51,000 00 in
1904. In 1905 they rose to $57,000 and

Greensboro, N. C, Nov. iKt'l.
A statement apparently authorized
by Congressman Blackburn, which was
sent out Jrotn Washington last week,
lias caused some adilitionaladverse com
ment on him, by some of the anti
Blackburn Republicans here. Black
burn was represented as having di; cov
ered that parties holding stock in the
organization organ, the Industrial News
were trying to buy up a majori
ty of the stock of his paper, The Tar
Heel, whereupon he broke up their lit
tle gafhe by buying a controlling inter
est himself, and would in future have
complete control of the Tar Heel.
Speaking of this, a man who knows,
said this morning, that blackburn had
repeatedly tried to sell the Tar 'Heel
equipment to the Industrial News to be
run by this corporation as a week'y at
tachment to their daily, but he had
been assured, that when the News de
sired to iun a weekly, it had all the
equipment it needed and did not wish
to purchase more at any price. This
gentleman declared this offer was made
soon after the State convention, and
was again made on the afternoon pre
ceding the night week before last,
when the Tar Heel directors held their
last meeting, which the Washington
correspondent represents the Congress
man as stating, he had scooped in the
stock and checkmated the Industrial
News. Another item of interest bear
ing on this and calculated to impeach the
Congressman's veracity, was that he
bought what stock he did buy, because
ex-postmaster George Patterson and
others, threatened that unless some'
body took their stock off their hands at
par, they would apply for a receiver
and have an accounting. And bo it goes.
The organization crowd say that the
Congressman goes out of his way and
lies awake at night to study up some
new cause of quarrel and all they can
do to satisfy him they want peace, has
no moral effect on him.
But they seem inclined to talk back,
in this last instance. This correspond
ent only records a small portion of the
latest irritating gossip, only vouchsaf
ing the comment, that if the latest
statement is true, the Congressman
made some wild and unjustifiable asser
tion about the newspaper situation the
last time he talked in Washington for
publication.
Besides the dreadful accident Satur
day afternoon in which Miss Annie
Edmundson was insUntly killed by the
accidental discharge of a gun, her
brother had, two other accidental
shootings have taken place since. Last
night Minnie Donnell, a negress, was
painfully wounded by a ball from a no-
bert rifle,' which was fired by a small
negro boy. The shuoting was acciden
tat. The doctors were unable to loca
the builet, but it is not thought that the
wound will prove fatal.
A little White boy, who does not de
sire publicity by a publication of his
name, was out hunting Saturday. He
accidently shot himself in the foot. He
was but 12 years old, and fearing his
mother Would not let him go hunting
again, kept the accident a secret. Yes'
terday, however, he had to send for a
Doctor. His great toe, from lack of
attention where the shot had struck,
had mortified to such an extent, it had
to be amputated to save his life. The
little fellow must have descended from
the old Spartan who would allow the
fox to gnaw his insides out, rather than
make an outcry.
The court house was nearly filled with
people yesterday afternoon to hear the
trial of Minnie Osborne, a white woman
and John Wood, a negro man, accused
of burning the barn and live stock ot
Newton Leonard, whose wife ia a aister

ITCHING SCALP
Eczema Broke Out Also on Hands
and Limbs Suffering Intense
Doctors Said Too Old to 8a
Cured -An Old Soldier of 80
Years Declares:
"CUTICURA TREATMENT
IS A BLESSING"
"At all times and to all people I am
willing to testify to the merit of Cu
ticura. It saved me from worse tha
the tortures of hades, about the year
1900, with itching on my scalp and
temples, and afterwards it commenced
to break out on my hands. Then it
broke out on my limbs. I waa advised
to use salt and water, which I did, to
no effect. I then went to a Surgeon, who
commenced treating me with a wash of
borax. This treatment did me no good,
but rather aggravated the disease. I
then told him 1 would go and see a phy
sician in Erie. The reply waa that I
could go anywhere, but a case of
eczema like mine could not be cured;
that I was too old (80). I went to an
eminent doctor in the city of Erie and
treated with him for six months, with
like results. I had read of the Cu
ticura Remedies often. I was strongly
tempted to give them a trial, so I sent
for the Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and
Resolvent and continued taking Ita
Resolvent until I had taken six bottles,
stopping it to take the Pills. I was now
getting better. I took two bat lis a day,
and at night I let the lather of the Soap
dry on. I used the Ointment with
great effect after washing in warm
water, to stop the itching at once. I
am now cured.
"The Cuticura treatment is a bleasmt
and should be used by every one who
has it chine of the skin. I can't sav any
more, and thank God that He has given
the world such a curative. You can
use this letter as vou please. A very
much befriended man, Wm. H. Gray,
