Former Son of Randolph Who Grew tp with the West Congress to Ad journ April 281h. Ci.rri'i.n.li'iii o to The Courier. Washington, I). ('., April 4th. I notice that Mr. Samuel Hill, of Seattle, Washington, is to deliver the literary address at (iuilford College this spring. Mr. Hill was just re cently in this city, and while here he railed attention to the fact that he was born in Randolph, mar old 'Union Factory," or the preseii town of Raiidlciniin. Hi- fat he was Nathan Branson Hill, and his mother was, I think, a Miss Mendcii hall before her marriage, ami two oi her sisters are now i'ving at I rinitv Mr. Hill's father moved to Minneso' tu when he was just a lad, and he "grew up with the West". Between working as a day laborer in the lum bor regions of that state and improy ing ms educational oppoi tunnies, In gamed a pretty thorough sort of training. He is a graduate of Haver- ford College, and spent a year, I think, in Harvard, lie has also traveled extensively in Kurope. Mr. Hill is a lawyer bv profession, hut has devoted his energies largely to industrial enterprises, being an olli cor in a number ot large coriiora- tions. J-.arly ill Ins career he became associated with the famous railway magnate, James J. liiil, as luaiiaeei ot some important railway propel - ties, ami married .Mi. nil! s daughter in 1S88. He has had to do with politics, and is now making himself very active in the interest of Inderal public-road legislation, lie is lorh' seven yeais old. Both of the North Carolina Sena tors have !een taking a rather prom iutut stand reecutly.

Poultry Exhibit at World's FairThe i Trusts and Republitans. j An item of interest to the farmers - 'iiiid pmilfrv raisers of the country, h, connection with the World's fair at St. I. on is. is learned from tho Kasteru Pi ess Bureau, in this city, The regular cash prizes offered for exhibits of poultry, pigeons and pe stock aggregate more than f lO.ouo, and this will be greatly increased by apiiroprialiws Imiu state conning sions for slale exhibits. The Mis souii Commission basset apart s (ion tor special prizes and expenses enniieeteil with that, stale's poultry exhibits. The special poultry clubs ot tins and other covntnes are mak ing a very successful canvass for funds for special prizes for exhibits, One club promises to plovide a plizc limit ot at least :t(M) lor its lavorite variety. Mr. T. II. Orr, secretary and treasurer of the American Poul try Association, has been made th superintendent of the poultiy show and tho mutter ot receiving, cooping, l ceding, exhibiting and returning t he poultry, pigeons and pet stock at th World's Fair has been placed iu til hands of a committee recommended by the association, consisting of Henry Steinnieseh, of St. Louis; T F. Mctirew, of New York; and U, U. Fishe!, of Hope, 1ml. One is u successful and cxpeiiiiiecil supeiin- teiulent ot a large poultry show; one ii former secretary of the American Poultry Association and popular poultry author; and the third, one ol the largest and most successful breeders and exhibitors of poultry. An opinion from one of the great est trust lawyers in the city of New York is win t Ii something, inasmuch as some of the trusts pay him a liber al tori line to render them. His name is 1'iitci mover, and he tins that there never w ill he any effective anti trust work done in this country until the criminal clause of the Sherman anti-trust law is put in force and some of the criminals are sent to the penitentiary and made to wear stripes. And there is the w hole gist of the matter in a nut shell. What in the name of common sense do the trusts of the country care for ii line of .'i,(ioo a day so long iu they can put up prices and compel the people of the country to pay the line in less lliau two d'ajs. Il is the plainest idocy to try to curb or kill trusts iu any such manner. The Republican party knows il and that is why the criminal clause of the Sherman anti-trust law never has been enforced. Let the voter ligure hi this when he gets ready to vote this fall. In connection with this same sort of work on the part of the Republi can party, the passage of the Klkins anti-rebate law last year caused the Republicans to crow lustily. They called it an anti-trust law which was to curb railroads by compelling them to treat all shippers alike. It also knocke'l out the criminal clause of the anti-trust law which applied to them, thus obviating ail fear from the operations of the law on the part of the railroad. Kver the since passage of the law the railroads have been, violating it by the payment to shippers all over, the country of switching charges amounting, in some cases, to not less than 15 a day. Tiny have in this way favor ed the shipper they wanted to and have violated tho iaw with no fear of tlie1iiiiseiiieiices. A wither favor ite met him of violating this law on thepaitof the railroads has been that a big shipper located favorably for shipping over two or more rail roads, ships over the road that will allow the greatest claim for lost goods. No goods arc actually lost in transportation, but the agtnt is authorized to deduct somiich for such losses. la tins way rebates amounting to ;!(, :ii, and even 50 per cent, uf the freight bill are allowed. Thus the small shipper is discriminated against and cannot alVord to stay in business in the same town with the man who gets these favors from the railroad that thus brazenly violates the so called Klkins antf-rebute bill. Even if they are caught with the "goods on them" tiiey only have to pay a small line and there you are. In name of all that stands for common sense when will the people of this country get their eyes open and place a party in power that will wipe out such iniipiith'S? Cn.iti.r:s A. F.nw auh-.. Accepts Simmons Amendment. The Senate last week accepted Senator Simmons' auiendiiieut to the Postofticc bill providing that in the establishment of rural free delivery routes no discrimination shall bi ll hide on account, of the character of the roads if an acceptable cauicr for the route can be secured at the salary lixed by law. The amendment also provides that in fixing the Balmy (within the limit, if 720 prescribed by hiwl the circum stances, such us the labor and cost of the service shall he taken into consideration. This amendment is piactically the same as was offered in the House .by Mr William Kitchin atid rejected. Hence it is possible that it may go out in conference. If, however it is retained it w ill mean much for North Carolina and tho other Southern States that have heretofore lieen dis criminated against so outrageously in the matter of rural free delivery." In support f his amendment, Mr. Simmons made a short speech in which he presented some figures how ine the evteot ami ioin.tie.. .,( I this discrimination. -MONTGOMERY NEWS.

Railroad and its affairs, including the Allan tic hotel at .Moleheail, is now at work in earnest, and the report i awaited with much interest by th public. In the mean tune the Gov- urnor has nothing to say in regard to the leuse of the road, and appar cut 1 y will take no further action with regard to that proposition until the pending investigation has been completed. There is a great deal of interest manifested in the future develop ments and Ii mil outcome of the con troversy letween Judge Peebles and the lawyers of the Liuiihertoii bur who recently lefustd to try nnycases before him. Judge Peebles is sched uled to preside at the next term of Robeson court also, which is set for May, and his friends say he cannot afford to consent to an exchange of courts with unv other judge. If he does not do so, and in the mean time takes no ollicial action concern in the rucent action of the bar then will the latter again refuse to tut a eulendar for the trial of cases!' And if so, w hat will he the result? The body of Col. W. A. Turk, pas senger t rnflio manager of the South ern Railway, was brought to Raleigh today (Monday) for iuti-rniei.t. He funnel ly resided here, and 2:1 years ago was married to Miss Mary Mor ileeai of Raleigh. He was a native of Virginia, where he was horn .VI years ago, in Augusta county. Col.

Li t.vv vi. Profit in Eggs. "A Poultry man" in the Progres sive Farmer sav: "1 will tell of a farmer's wife who decided that it would be better to know exactly what the Inns were bringing in; so three years ago she Iprociircd a poultry and egg record for the purpose, and she has learned by this book-keeping that her Leg horns lay about one hundred and twenty eggs per year, the weight of the eggs being more than four times the hen's own weight, which isabmit three and one-ipiartcr oiinds. She has learned the value of the feed giv en the hens, and says that the cost of eggs produced in her yards is three and one half cents in the summer and tine cents per dozen in the win ter. These fowls are given lller care than the average farm Hock gets yet no special pains has been taken with them, only good all-round erne. The point I wish to inipiess upon the minds of those w ho keep poultry is this: if this person hud not kept 'i account with her fowls she would not have known the profit they weie turning in, and it would be difficult to make otheis around hei believe that her hens were doing so well ex cept for those figures in "black and white." "Even iu a pour mil ket this wo man would clear more than a dollar per heail on her hens. But there are a gie.it many people keeping poultry who are not doig this; no, they are not even "making both en. Is meet." but liny don't know it. "Then, there are others ho bay that the hens don't pay t heir keep, anuT are a nuisance, when, it they really knew what they were talking about, they would find bens the most profitable stock on the place. But these are matters that ou will never know about as they really are until you keep a book account with the fowls. Many people dislike to be botheied setting anything down; they prefer to let things go on, and neM at the profit or loss. SAM JONES' I ITT. ;:.
