In another column the Standard prints the names of the new J. P's together with the extras. They are the best among Fusion. This fact, since we are to have Fusionists, is gratifjing. Warren C Coleman, so far as we know, is the only colored man among them. Just why Chair man Jake Boger was not made a squire, Gov. Hileman may haye to render an account. That agricultural Bale reported from Harrisburg, this county, for the last six months is an eye-opener. This estimate isxnly for the com m""; takiug in even a half township. Good is it ? Yes. There is no telling what can be produced on the farm where there is energy, brains and a disposition to thank God for his mucb mercy and great goedness and not. complaining and murmuring, It would be indeed an interesting item could any approximate estimate be made of the annual production of eggs in Cabarrus county. Without making any estimates, we believe the annual work of the hens of Ca barrus is worth more in dollars and cents than the cotton crop. There are not lees than 500,000 dozen (or 6,000,000 individual eggs) produced annually in the county. At 10 cents pT dozen this represents the snug sum of $54,000. But then eggs bring 12 cents of tener than they dolO cents.

Fayettville Observer. Governor Hileman will be the central figure in the Board of Direc tors of the Morganton Asylum. He will take to its meetings the aid such as his varied experiences end great natural ability will f jrcish. He can help them with information whether it be about running a 3tw mill on the premises, or erecting a new building or treating of the various maladies that are to be found there. The Standard con gratulates the Board, the State and especially Dr. J P Caldwell, one of the memberp, upon his opportunity for association with such an erudite director, THE TRIST'N BENT FB1ESD. During the Legislature the News and Observer took occasion to call attention to Mr. Winborn's proposed anti-Trust law. But th's was not sufficient to cause consideration of the measure. And Mr. 'Winborn's bill together with about a half doz en others of the same kind, intro duced principally by Democrats, was allowed to sleep the sleep of death in the committee room. There was perhaps never a Legis lature more subservient to trust and monopolies than was that which has just adjourned. And the chief spokesman and defender of all forms of trusts was Senator Mewborne, the president of the State Farmers' Alliance. During the campaign two years ago Mr. D H Gill, the Populist clerk of court of Vance county, yery in temperately and yery wickedly sa d that he would like to Lead a com pany to march to Durham and hang eyery member of the American Tl bacco Company. It is to be ob served, howeyer, that Mr. Gill has made no such statement since the Legislature met, and now, if he should organize his company to march anywhere, and it were com posed of Fusionists, they would be marching under the banner of the trusts and not against them. Tne Democratic party is the only party whose ascendancy 13 dreauctf by JBonopCiists, all tha others aro their willing slaves. Early in the season of the Legis lature Mr. Hileman, Chairman of the Finance Committee and the Populist leader on the floor of the House, said he was going to rtetuce taxation on the people and put it on the rich corporations and trusts and to that eDd he would incorpor ate in the Revenue Act a tax of ten cents a thousand on cigarettes and a tax on other manufactured tobaccos. The bill with these taxes passed the House, but when it reached the Senate, Mr. Mewborne, that great and dishnguied champion of the "plebeians," as he insultingly calls the great common people of North Carolina, arose and pretested against the heayy tax. It was the only time that he rose to real oloqaence during the session, though he spoke on almost eyery bill. that came be fore the Senate during the sixty days. Heplead forjthe manufacturers almost with tears in his eyes. His plea was in great contrast to his utterances, but hia argument pre vailed with his fellow Fusionists and the tax was reduced one-half, . When the bill came up in the House again for concurrence in the Senate amendment, Mr. Hileman, who had evidently also seen a great light, moved to concur. Mr. Ray urged Mr. Hilenau to giye some reason for first imposing the tax and if the tax were a good one to give a further reason for wishing to cut it down one-half. Mr. Ray declared that he didn't know anything about the tax, he only wanted Mr . Hile man to give some explanation of the influences that operated to secure this reduction of it. Mr. Hileman was very much confused and his only reply was "Mr. Speaker, 1 call the previous question." It is a significant fact that every time the Populists got them selyes into a position that they could neither explain nor defend they solyed the problem by calling the previous question, , Though professing to be the friends of the people and the enes miej of trusts there was' never any legislative body more subservient to the will of the monopolists than were the Fusionists in the last Legislature, Thousands of gentlemen in Eng lrnd wear corgets.

This afternoon seventy-five students of Kutherford College were at Cons nelly Springs station to meet Prof. Arthur T Abernethy, who was res turning from a Western tour. Chauncey Tepew was on the same tram, botridfrom Aaheyille to New York. When the cars came to a standstill and Prof, ioernethy step ped upon the ground the boys gave a deafenining shout and a round of cheering, Chancey thought they were there in his houcr and immediately began a speech on political affair?. The boys did not know what was up, but listened attentively, The conductor caught on to the mistake aud held the train five minutes for the orator to finish his speech.
