A MODERN CIGAR FACTORY.
The Important Industry Recently Estab-lished
in Greensboro by the Ameri-can
Cig-ar Company.
The city of Greensboro is growing so
rapidly and acquiring so many new en-
; terprises it is almost impossible to
chronicle nil of them. One of the most
recent and perhaps the most interest-ing
additions to our business enter-prises
is the new factory of the Ameri-can
t'igar < 'ompany.
The manufacture of cigars being a
new industry in our locality, and one
of which the public is to a lame extent
I ignorant, a representative of the PA-
| TKIOT yesterday paid a visit of inspec-tion
to the plant and learned much
that was highly interesting.
The company has remodeled the
handsome live story building on the
corner of (ireene and West Uaston
streets. Hereourreporter wascordially
welcomed by Mr. A. U. Bruenn, the
superintendent in charge, who con-ducted
him over the factory and ex-plained
the process of manufacture.
The plant has only been in operation
about two weeks and consequently is
! ruuning as yet on a comparatively
small scale, only having secured about
seventy girls, but the capacity will be
increased as fast as the operatives can
be secured, the superintendent stating
that he desired at least fifteen hundred
j girls. The plant is indeed a model of
an up-to-date factory with every modern
; improvement and equipment for con-ducting
the business with dispatch,
and for comfort of the employees.
The elevator and machinery areoper-ated
by electricity and the building is
steam heated,a large forty horse power
boiler having just been installed.
We were conducted first into a large
light mom on the lirst Hoot which is
set apart as a dining room for the em-ployee-.
Here are long clean tallies
and seats where the midday lunch can
lie eaten in comfort and ease. Adjoill-
( ing this is the cloak room.
< >n the lirst floor is the shipping and
receiving room for goods. Here at one
door the natural leaf comes in. cither
.'in own domestic cigar tobacco, or the
fine imported leaf from Cuba or the
far away Island of Sumatra. At
another door the tobacco goes out
transformed into b" autiful, flagrant
cigars to sooth the nerves and gladden
the hearts of thousands of the com-panys
customers.
At the far end of the floor is located
the l wo large dynamos which furnish
the electric power for the building.
As the visitor ascended from floor to
lloor ol'the building, although he had
been a victim of the seductive weed for
many years, he lirst learned the inter-esting
process by which the perfectly
shaped cigars are evolved from the raw
material.
On the second lloor is the casing and
stripping department. The third and
fouitb floors of the building is where
the cigar itself is actually made, and
the process is a most interesting one.
We watched a number of the young
ladies on the floor making cigars, ami
while still in the learners stage they all
seem to be progressing rapidly and ac-quiring
both case and skill. The fac-tory
has an open space on all four side-ami
is lined with window.- through
w hich come tin abundance of light and
air. The perfect cleanliness of the ilif-ferent
floors is a striking characteristic.
On the fifth and last Moor is the pack-ing
department. Here the Final stage
takes place w ben the cigars tire assort-ed
and [packed into boxes. As the
cigar must lirst be assorted with re-spect
to color with the greatest accu-racy
and skill, the most perfect light is
required for this. The factory is built
so that this lloor receives all abund-ance
of north light, which is indispen-sable.
It streams down on the pack-ing
tables through four huge skylights. I
The walls are also whitewashed, mak-ing
the room appear brighter than out
of doors. The business of assorting and
packing cigars into the boxes the com-pany
desires to teach to girls in this
vicinity. All of the girls on the other
Hours are residents or either Greensboro
or the surrounding country. It is the
policy of the company to give all bright
and respectable girls who are compell-ed
to earn their own living an oppor-tunity
of doing so. The girls are paid
u bile learning and before their labor is
of any value at all. The greatest care
is exercised in making sure that all the
girls employed are of good reputation.
Mr. Rruenn, the superintendent, is
very enthusiastic in regard to the pros-pects
of the new plant. "Weure here,"
he said, "to help the town and country
as well as ourselves. We are deter-mined
to make a big success of this I
factory. I have managed several other
cigar factories but have never seen one
more perfect or better adapted to its :
purpose."
Associated with Mr. Mruenn in the
factory are Mr. II. ('. F'arrish, Mr. 15. j
(;. Kerr, Mr. W. M. Kei.l, Mr. 8. B.
Kersey, and Messrs. P. ('. and T. A.
Heath. These gentlemen are engaged
in instructing the girls: several of them
are North Carolinians and well known ;
in this vicinity.
The office is in charge of Mr. T. C. \
Carriiigtou, assisted by Mr. K.C. Love,
one of Greensboro's well known young
business men.
When to Register.

(ieneral Oilmer, concurred ill by Sena- I

Republicans Put Up a County Ticket.
The Ouilford county Republican con-vention
met (Saturday afternoon at one
o'clock in the court house with Chair-man
W. B. Steele, of High Point, in
the chair. Mr. Steele, on opening the
convention, remarkediin substance that
there was no cut-and-dried business to be
transacted, as appeared to him to have
been done in the recent Democratic
convention. He claimed that he, with
others, had predicted the action of the
former body more than a month before
it met. He then cut short his speech
by saying that he was not in as good
practice for speech-making as Mr.
Settles, the Democratic chairman, and
would not attempt to say more. This
ponderous deliverance left him with
just sufficient wind to announce that
the convention was open for business.
Mr. J .8. Worth, of High Point, made
a motion that the convention adjourn
until half past two o'clock, the dele-gates
to meet in caucus in the mcan-i
time at Bogart's ball. The motion was
| seconded, but before it could be put
Mr. Wood, of Gibsonville, offered an
amendment that the chair appoint a
committee on credentials. After some
debate it was decided to ascertain if
I there were any contests. As there
were none the committee was not
named.
The original motion was then adopt-ed
and the delegates went straightway
to Bogart's ball, where a caucus of an
hour was held.
Shortly after three o'clock the con-vention
was again called to order by
the chairman. Thecrcdeiitialsshowed
that three or four precincts were not
represented. Then Uncle Branch Chil-cult
announced that a primary bad
been held in his precinct anil there
were no credentials from there. A mo-tion
was adopted that any Republicans
from precincts not represented by cre-dentials
could cast the votes of said
precinct. The committee on creden-tials
was dispensed with entirely.
On motion of J. I). White Messrs.
| W. It. Steele and A. I'. Grace, tempo-rary
chairman and secretary, respec-tively,
were made permanent officers
of the convention. Mr. White put the
motion ami it was unanimously earned.
When the roll of townships was call-ed
Washington, Greene, South Madi-son
and one ot two others were found
to be without representation. Nomi-nations
were then called for.
Mr. It. D. Douglas, who had held
• Irst place on the ticket two years ago,
benevolently nominated W. P. Pagan,
of High Point, for the state senate,say-ing
that the Republican.- were going to
make an aggressive cam paign ibisyear
and he wanted a man whose clarion
voicecould be beard all over the county.
There were no other nominations and
the name of Mr. Pagan was placed at
the masthead by acclamation.
C. P. F'ra/.ier and J. S. Cox were
nominated for the house by o. A.Star-buck
and Shube 1-".. I'oltrane, respec-tively.
Acclamation.
I.. C. Hutlines nominated .1. A. Low -
rey for sheriff. Mr. Low rey protested
without avail and the convention
named him by acclamation.
I-'.. P. Atkins nominated G. Will
Aunlicld for clerk of the court.
Kd. 1.. Pagan nominated Kugene
Ilodgin for register of deeds.
John (l. Murrow nominated .1. S.
Worth, of High Point, for treasurer.
The following were named for coun-ty
commissioners: T. (*. Starbllck, A.
Ii. Homey .and !•'. K. Trogdon.
J. D. Gardner, of Jamestown, was
named for coroner.
All of these nominations were made
by acclamation.
At this point O. A. Btarbuck intro-duced
the following resolutions, which
were adopted after being promptly
seconded by A. A. Hinton:
"Whereas. There is now pending in
the Superior court of Ouilford county
a suit claiming that a certain pond of
wtiler owned by the Messrs. Moses II.
anil Ceasar ('one breeds malarial dis-eases
and is a nuisance,
■'Resolved, That the Republican
convention of Ouilford County now
assembled docs not believe that such
charges are true: that said prosecution
is unjust and not warranted by the
facts, but has assumed the form of per-secution.
We demand that said pros-ecution
be withdrawn and the parties
who are responsible lor the same be-come
responsible for all costs in the,
case."
There were calls for Pagan and other
nominees, but the chair announced
that the work of the convention was
not finished.
The precincts were called and the
names of the executive committeemen
were submitted. The committee thus
created repaired to the jury room and
elected P. D. Douglas county chair-man.
in the meantime Mr. Pagan came
forth and declared himself. He failed
to loosen any plastering from the ceil-ing,
as he ilid at a recent term of court.
The other candidate spoke as long as
the crowd could be held and the con-vention
adjourned with little ceremony.
The attendance was rather slim,
owing to the fact that the colored
brother was conspicious by his absence.
Prof. Whitaker Will Remain In Guilford.
The following card received from
Prof. Whitaker this morning sets at
rest all doubt as to his leaving the
county, as was rumored last week:
EDITOR PATRIOT: It is rumored that
1 am going to leave Guilford county to
accept a position in Winston. The
facts are these: I was offered a position
at that place but have declined same,
and will remain atOak Uidge Institute.
I have no iutention whatever of leav-.
ing the county. T. !■".. WHITAKER.

Patterson Endorsed by the Republicans.
The adjourned Republican congress-ional
convention met in Bogart's hall
Monday afternoon and formally en-dorsed
Mr. J. Lindsay Patterson, the
nominee of the Independent Demo-cratic
organization, lor Congress from
the Fifth district, in opposition to Hon.
W . \\ . Kitchin, the present able rep-resentative.
Mi. .1.1'. Beubow, of Winston, pre-sented
the name of Mr. Patterson in a
fulsome speech and the nomination
was made by acclamation.
Postmaster Reynolds, also of Wins-ton,
made a speech urging the election
of Patterson and pointing out the dan-gers
of a joint canvass.
Mr. J. !■'. Donaho, A. S. Pace, O. A.
Starbiick and W. P.. Trogdon all went
on record in opposition to a joint can-vass
and the convention then adopted
| the following resolution:
''Resolved, That it is the sense of
this convention that no joint canvass
be held, as Mr. Kitchin has already
canvassed a part of the district."
"That." Mr. Reynolds said, "makes
I the refusal of a joint canvass the work
of the convention." This dictation to
Mr. Patterson hejustiiied on the ground
that tiie convention had endorsed him
and therefore acquired the right to
direct him in his movements to some
extent. The delegates to the conven-tion,
he said, had a better chance to
know just what was best, as they were
from till over the district and were
posted as to the needs, etc.
The convention then proceeded to
elect a new executive committee. J.
