ARGE DEAL
IN TOBACCO
Tho Continental Said to Havo
Secured Williams Co.
REPORT IS NOT CONFIRMED
There Seems Every Reason, However,
to Believe That it Is True?Those
In Authority Decline to
Talk.
While no direct confirmation can be ob
talntid from those alono /in a position to
know the actual facts, there Is every rea?
son to regard as at least well founded
rumors which gained curroncy yesterday
? morning to ?ho effect that tho T. C. Wil?
liams Tobacco Company, of this city, per?
haps the largest. I?d.?a<mdcut concern of
It'? kind ln the oountry, has been acquired
by the Continental Tobacco Company.
? The head of tho big concern declines to
make any statement whatsoever, nnd this
?f itself Is rogarded as significant. The
-vloe-'jresldent of the company, who rep?
resenta a1 controlling Intorest ln It, Is
'now ln New York, understood to be In
?onforoiioo with roforonco to the sale.
When he returns there will probably bo
?some Information given out, but until
then no expression is made. That tho ne?
gotiations aro on thero can be no doubt;
that they havo been closed, or practically
? BO, Is gonorally bellevod. Tho purchoso
price is 60ld to approximate 43,500,000 or
14,000,000.
HAS BEEN AFTER IT.
? ;'?. For the past year or two the Continen?
tal, a branch of tine great trust which vir?
tually controls the tobacco Industry of
tho country, has been costing Its longing
oyes ln tho direction of tho big Richmond
plant. It already controlled ono big es?
tablishment here?tho P. H. Mayo branch
?but 'the, sise and success of tho other
..'firm mode It a most desirable acquisition,
If It could be secured. But somehow
things did not progress with great facility.
TheT. C. Williams Company sot a lig?
ure, it Is Bald, and refused to budgo from
It. Tho Continental went off for a while,
?nd then came back, but with the same
er similar success.
Since this time there have been period-'?
Ically circulated rumors that the company
had at last sold out, but timo only showed
that tho rumors amounted to nothing,
Hence when they came, to the surface
again yesterday scant heed was paid to
them at first.' But they were repeated and
with such show of correctness that they
commanded more than the ordinary re
. epect. Before long tho report was all
around Shockoo Slip, and .tobacco mon
were gathered about ln knots discussing
If. ?:
DECLINE TO TALK,
Efforts to get some positive denial or
confirmation of the report were altogether
Without effect. Mr. R, S. Boshor, presi?
dent of the T. C. Williams Company,
declined to make any statement whatso?
ever. He was non-committal. He would
neither deny nor confirm. Mr. Williams
himself could not be seen. For several
days past he has been ln New York, and
lie will not be back for several days more.
When he comes something definite .may
be given out. j
Meanwhile tobacco men. Judging all the
Indications and circumstances, havo come
to the conclusion that the rumor Is cor
" rcet: A gentleman more or less closely
Identified with the trust expressed the
opinion yesterday that there was good
ground for the report. The deal, it is
said, is practically settled. It was closed
within the last few days?some say on
last Friday,
So much and no more can be learned
about the reported deal. Everybody Is
guessing, and It is a curious circumstance
that while they have discredited the ru?
mors before, everybody seems to believe
that it is right this tlm*.
A GREAT CONCERN.
The T. C. Williams Company, as stated
above, is perhaps the largest Independent
tobacco manufactory in the United States.
It operates os a single concern two giant
factories, and manufactures plug 'and
twist chiefly and fine export tobaccos
largely.
The plant was first established by James
Thomas, Jr., more than sixty years ago.
Tho late T. C. Williams was manager ot
It for the founder of the business before
he reached the head of it himself, and
It Is to him largely that the success ot
the enterprise Is good. In 1862 he succeed?
ed Mr. Thomas, and the firm of T. C.
Williams & Company succeeded him In
ISSO. Upon the defcth of Mr. Williams, tho
present T. C. William's Company was1 In?
corporated, about 1SS9. The president of
the company to-day Is Mr. Robert S.
Bosher; tho vlct-presldent, Mr. Thomas
C. Williams, Jr.; the secretary and treas?
urer. Mr. W. S. Wortham. The man?
ager ot factory No. 3 1s Mr. J. C. Knox.
The capital stock of tho company la
about $400,000. The output of tlve factories
Is about 4,000,000 pounds of finished stock
annually. The concern employs from 800
to 1.000 hnnds. Its best known brand Is,
perhaps, the famous "Lucy Illnton."
Others are "Mnttaponl," "May Apple."
"Nosegay," "Paris Medal," "Golden
Eagle," "Plum," "Old Dominion" and
many others for domestic consumption;
and for foreign trade, "Impr.rlnl Ruby,"
"Blrd's-Eye 'Twist," "Victory," Golden
Eagle," "Mabel," "Juno," "Jonas," and
so on.

THE ONIONS IN
CAPITOL SQUARE
Two Hundred Dollars for a
Plan to Exterminate
Them.
The Salcrri Tlmes-Rcgleter of recent
date took Colonel John W. Richardson,
Register of the Land Office, protty sound?
ly to task for allowing wild onions to
grow In the Capitol Square.
Colonel Richardson replied, stating that
his appropriation for keeping tho Square
in.order has, until last year, been limited.
Despite this he hns tried w?t,10Ut success
every suggestion offered to eradicate tho
onions. Ho offered to send tlhe editor of
the Times-Register Ills chock for ?50 Ih
return for a successful plan to extermi?
nate tho mnlodorous growth.
The editor returns to tho charge with
the statement that tho condition of the
Square is not at all creditable to Col?
onel Richardson's management, and that
there are many people In Richmond and
about the State offices who tlhink like?
wise. He suggests that be keep his check
for $50 to hire convicts to pick the onions
in ^the Square, saying It will be sufficient
for the purpose and leave enough over
to purchase a present for the Register of
the Land Office.
To the' above Colonel Richardson has
just replied as follows:
In reply again, I wish to say that tihe
above plan of ridding the Square of on
.lcns has been thoroughly tried and has
proven completely Ineffective. So tho edi?
tor will have to come'again. As to using
the {SO to hire convicts, I don't get them
thnt way, and If 1 could I would not
think o.f hiring them in preference to hon?
est white labor.
I am authorized to state for Hons. W.
W. George, A. M. Bowman and A. L,
Huff, members of the present General
Assembly, that thoy will supplement my
offer of G50 for a remody to get rid of
wild onions, J?O each, making a total sum
of ?200.
I hope thnt the many people In Rich?
mond and about tho State offices, referred
to above, will havo the kindness of heart,
the candor nnd the courage to bring their
grievances to mo and help mo out by the
suggestion of' some method of wild onion
extermination, Instead of making their
complaints to persons 200 miles remoto
from tho capital.

SOME VIEWS ON
CAMPBELL'S PAPER
General Impression That It
Has Not Helped His
Cause.
Members of the General' Aesembly, with
a few exceptions, are carefully refrain?
ing from any expressions as to the merits
or domerlts of the answer of Judgo Clar?
ence J. CampBoll to the notice served
upon him by the Legislature. The mem?
bers take tho position that Inasmuch as
they must sit as Jurors in the caso in
a few days It would be manifestly and
highly Improper for thom to express an
opinion as to tho answer or any other
phaso of tho case at this time. Even
those who have expressed themselves
aro unwilling to be quoted, and it may
be said that not one will talk for publi?
cation.
A great variety of expressions may
be heard second hand, many remarking
that tho paper "Is a pretty warm docu- ;
ment," whatever that may mean. A few |
characterize th? answer as strongly writ?
ten, but express doubt that Its tono will
strengthen tho Judge's defense. The moro |
conservative and non-partisan k element
aro inclined to the belief that thJi answer
will hurt rathor than holp Judge Camp?
bell, and some contond that his strictures |
upon counsel In the case In no way weak?
ens the case against himself.
One gontlsmnn, who did not care to be
quoted for, publication, stated that tho
effort of the Judge to provo animus on
the part of prosecutors and witnesses
ought to havo weight in the caso, which
he declared was a matter of equity, Gen?
erally, however, the Impression seems to
be that the Judge's attack on Judge Lov?
ing and others cannot In any event holp
his own cause,
Evening of Music.
