A. T. Co. Seems Back to Normalcy With the American Tobacco Company, at least, It appears to be back to normalcy, and per haps a little better. The profit of the company during 1921 were the largest in Its history, the year's turn-over yleldino 11 1-2 per cent. The sales of tobacco ago refla ted the esormous siirri of 5153. 963,752, an Increase of . nearly $3,000,000 over the 6ales for 1920. The company has paid cut handsome dividends and at the end of the year had stored away the comfo-rttable cash ac cumulation of $10,853,913 for a rainy day If the American To. bacco Company ever knows what a rainy day is. This or ganizition In the manufacture and peddling of tobacco gives the people a good article through established avenues of great convenience, and an apprecia tive public develops the patron age that keeps It going. The world seems very fnuch given to tobacec.

Tho capture was made about 3 o'clock in tha morning. A squad of officers composed of E. G. Strader. H. C. Stallings, Shelly Jones. H. K. Martin, deputies of Sheriff A. P. Sands, and special dep uties W. W. Garrison, of Reidsville, and Sage Fagg, of Stoneville, were stationed on the sido of the road waiting for the cars. A bad stretch of muddy road waa selocted and as the-first four cars came along in a bunch and began floundering in the mud the officers on each side of the road closed in and demanded th' surrender of each chauffeur. In o0 or 46 minutes another car, a Dodge roadster, containing three men came along and these were likewise taken into custody. : None of them resist ed arrest or attempted 'to escape. The -five-cars 'contained' a total ol 190 gallons of liquor. It 13 surmised that one car ahead of the first bunch got through before the officers got in position. The seven men captured are S. T.

Several of the others have been suspected for a long time, both by officers Greensboro and . in Rockingham county, as being engaged in whis key business, either as out-and-oti bootleggers or as transportation agents for the master minds higher up. The Prices especially have been regarded for a long time as impor tant figures in whiskey traffic in ihh part of the State, and Greensboro officers made no secret of their ela tion that they had been caught with the goods. Sheriff Sands had wind that the whiskey convoy was coming through Thursday night from somewhere over in Virginia to Greensboro. Dep uties started early in the evening and by 9 o'clock were safely hidden in the woods along the road. Before midnight they saw a car, later Identified as the official scout car of the convoy, passing by their ambush and repassing. The driver continued running up and down tlw road all night to see that the way was clear, and all night the deputioa watched him and let him go while they waited for the main convoy. It was a long wait, but shortly after 1 o'clock they saw the five cars ap proaching, all close together. When the five cars arrived In the woods, the deputies jumped from their hiding laces and in a minute had tjhe entire convoy surrounded. They had r-reriousiy scattered out so a3 (o capture the entire group and in this they were successful ex cept for the driver of the last car He cut his motor dead, leaped from his car, scurried across country, and was lost to sight. The others were taken completely by surprise. They made no attempt at resistance and Sherlc Sands said they took their capture good-na turedly. Four of the cars were flve- passenger Fortl touring cars, the fifth was a Dodge roadster. The roadster carried 50 gallons. The other cars were loaded with five-gal Ion tin cans, all filled to the brim with corn whiskey. Sheriff Sands escorted the enttro crowd to Reidsville.
