TOBACCO NOTES.
—Permanent patronage is what we
want. Our reputation is more to us
than the prjee of a pair of shoes. That
is the reason we take the greatest care
to sell only shoes that will give satis-faction
to the wearer, and for the same
reason we always want you to return
any pair of shoes that you buy from
our store which are not what we rep-resented
them to be. We have custo-mers
and whole families who buy their
shoes from us year after year, who will
tell you that we sell reliable shoes and
that we are always ready and willing
to make It right if the shoes do not
give satisfaction.
THACKER & BROCKMANN.
"The Bnrned Corner" to be Rebuilt.
We are pleased to learn that the va-cant
Benbow lots on South Elm street
between Johnson & Dorsett'a store and
the Hotel Ouilfordare soon to be occu-pied
by a handsome block with a
frontage of sixty-five feet on South
Elm and one hundred and fifty feet on
Sycamore streets, containing one hun-dred
rooms above the three which will
embrace the first floor. As to the plans
or materials we are not posted, bat
knowing that the Hotel Guilford,
which was built under the same man-agement
thirty years ago has few
equals in stability or architectural de-sign,
we feel certain that the city will
be ornamented by the erection of this
new block, which will be constructed
so as to be equally well adapted for a
hotel or an office building. Excavations
for the foundation are being made.
—The North Carolina Society ok the
Cincinnati held its annual mseting
here last Wednesday. Mr. Goo. A.
Mebane, of this city, one of the mem-bers

The members of this society
are direct descendents of officers In the
Revolution. The officers are Mr. Wil-son
G. Lamb, president; Maj. Graham
Daves, vice president; Col. Chas. L.
Davis, secretary; Mr. John C.Davos,
treasurer; Mr. Marshall DeLancey
Hay wood, assistant secretary; Mr.
Walter DeLyle Carstarphen, assistant
treasurer, and Rev. Joseph B. Ches-hire,
chaplain. At a meeting at the
Battle Ground Wednesday new mem-bers
were elected. Thoy were A. R.

Death Follows a Battle Ground
Affray.
Mr. A. S. Morris, of Froximity, was
shot at the BattleGround last Wednes-day
by a negro, Will Ingram, and died
Thursday night. Mr. Morris and the
negro bad quarreled about a debt due
Morris and when the negro was knock-ed
down he arose and shot Mr. Morris.
The wound was not considered neces-sarily
fatal, but when inllammatlon
set in he sank rapidly.
Mr. Morris was thirty-nine years old,
a carpenter and a man of good charac-ter.
He was a member of Keystone
Council No. 81, Jr. O. U. A. M.
He leaves a wife and three children.
The funeral took place at Buffalo Pres-byterian
church Friday afternoon, be-ing
conducted by Rev. Horace Weeks
Jones. Nothing has been heard of the
negro who did the shooting. He es-caped
from a large crowd of pursuers
and is probably making his way to his
former home in Georgia.
Items of Interest to the Srower, the
Dealer, and the Manufacturer.
Mr. A. B. Bray is here from States-ville
to take a few weeks' rest.
Sales have been light the past week
with no visible change in prices.
The growing crop is generally spoken
of as quite promising. Rain is needed,
however, in most places.
Mr. "Shell-W. Porter has returned
to Timmonsville, S. C, where he is en-gaged
in the tobacco business.
Mr. Jas. J. Meadows, a well known
Madison auctioner, went to Goldsboro
Monday, where be will sell tobacco the
coming season.
Bray Bros, are among the busiest
dealers on the market. They are buy-ing
quantities of leaf and scrap any-where
and everywhere.
Mr. Thos. D. Meadows, auctioner at
the Farmers warehouse the past sea-son,
will go to Greenville soon, where
he has secured a position.
The census bureau is considering the
j advisability of a special census on the
tobacco crop, to include investigations
on grades, varieties, utility, etc, of
various tobaccos.
The old veteran, J. Mac. Smith, of
Danville, will auctioneer for Messrs.
Lee & Jones, Timmonsville, S. C . the
coming year. Mr. Smith's friends here
will be glad to learn that he is still in
! the harness.
A train of twenty live cars contain-
! lng G30 hogsheads of tobaeco, was
shipped from Henderson, Ky.,to Liver-pool
and Belfast via New Orleans last
month. It is said to be the biggest
shipment ever made from that section.
Messrs. Cobb,Gorrell,Gwyn, Vaughn,
Ferrell and Coleman, a jolly crowd of
Winston tobacconists, came down Fri-day
to join Messrs. Whitt, Sellers, Wil-son
and the Brays in a day's recreation
at Hamburg mill, where a sumptuous
fish fry was enjoyed during the day.
Among those marketing leaf here
the past week we noticed I.D.Grissom,
of northeastern Guilford; R. W. Fitch,
of Alamance; John Michael, of eastern
Guilford; W. L. Morton, of northern
I Guilford, and W. F. Andrew, of south-
1 eastern Guilford. They marketed only
! the common grades.
Consul-General Wildman, at Hong
j Kong, makes the fol'owing unfavor-
| able report of the possibilities of Amer-ican
manufactured tobacco in China:
I "Almost nil; aud I can hold out no
I hope for the future, as our tobacco
j will not keep In this climate. It loses
j both Its strength and flavor. The
1 wants of all classes are fully met by
!the Manila product, and first-class
: cigars can be bought for one cent M«x-
1 lean upward."
The North Carolina crop bulletin for
the week ending Monday, July 9, says :
"Tobacco is late in the north-central
; portion, where topping has just begun_
, and Is somewhat uneven elsewhere; it
, is suffering from drought and firing in
Johnston aud a few other counties. In
general tobacco appears to have made
good growth; cuttiug has commenced
in six eastern counties, namely, Mar-tin,
Green, Duplin, Carteret, Onslow
aud Wayne, and some was cured."
—A meeting of the survivors of the
Fifth North Carolina Cavalry was held
at the Banner warehouse here July 4th.
The purpose of the meeting was to aid
Rev. Edward Wootten, of Wilmington,
in securiug data for a history of the
regiment. Resolutions were passed to
that effect. Capt. John R. Irvin, of
