B. Penyck and operated for the tobacco trust by the American Snuff company, was blown up by dynamite early Tues day. There was no joss of life but the damage to the factory was complete. There was no insurance on the plant ag the insurance company had only a few days ago canceled the policy, ow- ing to the excitement occasioned in this locality by the tactics of some of the tobacco growers. The force of the explosion was felt for a long distance, Several houses in the vicinity were damaged as were the depot and four or five passenger coaches standing on a siding. The deed is thought to have been committed by parties friendly to the Dark Tobacco Growers association, but the latter has severely condemned such actions, A few days ago the representative of the American Tobacco company at this point received notice not to receive any more tobacco from people favoring the trust, but he paid no attention to it.
