The negroea entered the factory and seemed to promise well, but it was soon found that they were "trif ling, lazy andjunreliable," A "not un usual experience," we are informed, "was that from 100 to 200 of them would not show up for work in the morning, and only a few comparatively, bad any interest in their work or any sense of responsibility in sticking to their machines constantly." As Char eston does not supply sufficient white labor, the factory must go to tne inter ior, where the cost of living is less and labor more abundant. The incident, which is, in fact, a melancholy one for the race, suggests that the education of negro youth needs to be changed. Those who have their morals in special charge will do a good work if they will insist on the homely virtues;, steady industry, thrift and fidelity engagements. Negro labor, especially in the domesttc field, would be worth twice what it ia to all concern- edfif it were made responsible if it could be trusted to "show up for work in the morning," as white labor gener ally can. Less talk on Lincoln and emancipation and more emphasis upon the qualities that dignify life and secure progress would be a profitable reform. . A Financial monarch, Baltimore Sun. Mr. J. P. Morgan, of New. York, is a financial magnate of such tremendous importance that English speculators in the stocks in which he is interested are taking insurance policies on his life to nrotect themselves in the event that a panic follows his death. Policies have been taken out in London, it is reported which in the aggregate amount to many millions. Mr. Morgan consequently stands in the same class as the late Queen Victoria, whose life had been in sured heavily by the shrewd and thrifty English tradesmen. The New York financier ia represented to be in the best of health, with apparently niaoy years before him. Englishmen have been started, however, by his recent plunge into the billion-dollar steel pool. A man who engages in such gigantic opera tions, they argue, cannot suddenly pass out of Ufe without causing disturbances in the financial world. American in surance companies are more conserva tive than the Bnstish concerns, and none of them issue policies on toe plan which seems to be in such general favor in England. Insurance of this kind is a form of gambling which dif fers little in principle from the most reckless gameB of chance. Mr. Mor gan's present robust state of health war- Mnfa frVtA CTnantaTinn tViat Viz mill atfain a ripe old age, in which event the insur ' ance companies will collect enough in premiums to protect them from loss. Oa the other band, some sudden spell of illness might end his life at any time, eutailing heavy losses upon the com panies, and perhape forcing some into bankruptcy. The game is a risky one for insurance concerns and their stock holders.1" ' l h J Not do to the Root of the flatter? RaJelgn Christian Advocate. Charlotte is now enjoying a diversion " i the form of a discussion between a resbyterian preacher and the Mayor. The former in a sermon last Sunday de plored the existence of a large number of gambling hells in Charlotte. He at tributes the blame, not to the police, but to the central authority. He says that backbone is lacking in the make up of the higher authorities of the city. Of course, the Mayor replies in caustic lan guage, and says that the blame does not lie with the city government. It seems to us that neither side has traced the evil to its source. One day last week we counted in a Charlotte daily paper six cara party announcements. ine "stakes" were beautiful and valuable. How can a place be free from gambling hells and the very atmosphere of gam bling when Society runs the primary gambling schools in the shape of card parties. The Mecklenburg county grand jury was striking at the root of the matter last year, when it pronounc ed euchre playing to be on a par with "crap Bhooting." May 11 rid pre the North River. Great inconvenience hau been caused during the past week by the interrup tion of travel and all kinds of business between New York and Jersey City. uv a. vj. m in vi uao WOC LI DU UUOUUVICU by ice that travel across it has been ex ceedingly unceedingly uncertain. One ferryboat filled with people was caught in the ice and held in the middle of the river all night.c Many thousands cf havn to c.rnun th nvpr tn reach tVioir homes in New Jersey. Jersey City is the terminus ot the railroads leading to New York from the West and South. The interruption of travel across the river, therefore, if only for a few hours, ia an extremely costly matter, and the trouble this week has revived the talk of buildiLg a bridge. Two corporations have been formed in recent years to build bridges and there has been some work done on a tunnel under the river. The stock of the Henrietta Cotton .-Tiila, Henrietta, is now quoted at $210 a ;tare. The mill is capitalized for f 700,- ( :o. " "on't think less of your system than -Atiis is the state's thorough State was redeemed in lB?rea- ijart of those years the State hu ts most serious fii'nK fusion when much oIttke. was greatly dejrv'' . during all tU for' the cause of jus (.tcrivetl'1 night when the joint , umraittee of 'the .Legislature Jed to change the draft of the reve- - jie bill. The tax made to apply to in comes of $500 and above wll, by this change, apply to incomes not less than $1,000. This is the present law and it Bhould not be complained of. The pro vision taxing corporations was changed, striking out the double tax that is to Bay leaving the shares in the hands of the stockholders untaxed. The defen sive and inquisitoral questions provided to be asked of corporation officers iu making returns for their corporations were stricken out. -. In these modifications a great deal has been gained by way of relieving the bill of odious features. To tax an in come of $500. and more would be a great wrong. A great many of our people earning salaries and wages, earn between $500 and $1,000 and need every cent, of this income. Many of them are supporting families on it and have nothing to Bpire out of it for- tax ation. With regard to the corporation tax, it would be a manifest injustice to tax the property and the capital stock and to then tax the stock of the in dividuals besides. The hope of North Carolina is in its manufacturing inter ests and no invidious discrimination should be made by legislation nor any thing done to cripple it. The finance committee is to be com plimented upon its prompt response to public sentiment as evidenced by its ac tion last night. It will now doubtless modify its former action upon the in heritance tax, since it must concede, upon a little reflection, that this tax stnuld not begin upon estates worth as little as $2,500, nor even twice this amount. - A Cruel Law. Baltimore Sun. Many people consider the method of inflicting the death penalty in Vermont as coming close to the violation of tre constitutional inhibition of cruel and unusual punishments. A law in that State provides that a person convicted of a capital offense cannot be executed until a session of the Legislature inter venes. A man nsmed Shaw was recent ly sentenced to be hanged on the first Tuesday in February, 1903. For two years the unfortunate felon will have that sentence hanging over him, and his life will probably be a living death. Such torture would ordinarily be con sidered sufficient, but, as if it were not enough, the last three months of the man's life must be spent in absolute solitude. This punishment reminds one of Poe's story of the "Pit and the Pendulum." A man was bound, and above him swung as a pendulum a huge and terrible crescent-shaped knife, coming closer and closer to the helpless victim with each swing. It was the refiuement of cruelty. So the Ver mont convict for two years watches the calendar as the man bound in the pit watched the pendulum. The Vermont law does not seem to have been in spired by wanton cruelty, however. A session of the Legislature is made to intervene between sentence and execu tion upon the theory that the Legisla ture may abolish the death penalty. The convict is put in solitary confine ment for three months preceding his death in order to give him ample op portunity to prepare for another world. The ordinary man or woman would be prepared for the madhouse long bafore the end of the three months. A Great Sale of flogs. George W. Vanderbilt's sale of Berk shire hogs on his estate last week was the largest that has ever taken place in this section. Over 160 thoroughbreds and registered hogs were sold, and the average price would exceed $80 each. .One distinguished fancier of Berkshires said during the sale that the pig he had picked out he thought would cost $25 or $30, and it brought $135. This fancier, an old-time planter, remarked that he could buy mules in his county for less money than those six-months-old pigs brought. The sale was attended by people from different sections of the West, North and South and was eminently successful. Ills Throat Was Cut toy a High Collar. New York Dispatch. Louis Conell fell in an epileptic fit on Lenox avenue at One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street and his high collar cut his threat. Onlookers saw the blood and told Detective Hawkins that a man's head had been cut .off. Haw kins found that Conell wore a two and a half inch collar, which had cut his neck when he fell, A surgeon from Harlem Hospital, who had Been sum moned in a nurry dressed the injury, which was slight. A Warning. To feel tired after exertion is one thing; to feel tired before is another. Don't Bay the latter is laziness it isn't; but its a sign that the system lacks vitality, is running down, and needs the tonic effect of Hood's Sarea parilla. It's a warning, too and sufferers should begin taking Hood's at once. Buy a bottle today. Ilia Only Regret. They tell this story in Lee county of a negro who applied to a justice of the peace to many mm. lie nad no money and offered a string of fish as the fee.

Mlloa Pala fills stop Headache They Now Control the Industries an J W ealth of the United States. J. Pierpont Morgan, John D. Roeke feller and the Steel Trust practically control the industries and wealth of the country. The following figures show the stupendous ownings of the kings of steel, oil, coal and railroads; , . Morgan (railroads and coal) $862, 942,358, made up as follows: Erie, $140,418,100; Northern Pacific, $109,- 202,600: Philadelphia and Heading, $120,073,358; Lehigh Valley. $101,429, 000; Ontario and Western, 115,437,000; Southern Ralway, $102,432,300; Balti more and Ohio, $172,yoO,UUO; Mobile and Ohio, $50,000,000. These rairoads control price and out put of coal, iron ore, limestone, coke, ships, ship armor, all gtructual iron and steel bridges, tin sheets and steel rails. Rockefeller (oil and mines) $S3o,- 000,000, made upasfollows: Oilfields, $500,000,000; coal and iron mines $75, 000,000; transportation companies, $100,000,000; other trusts and industrial Btocks $160,000,000. - He controls price and output of light ing and lubricating oil, all material for machinery, sewer, water and all pipe. Steel Trust, $793,000,000. It con trols price and output of cycle tubing and every article in which Bteel or iron enters, from a river bridge to the hook and eye of a woman's dress, and also the transportation of the same. The Revenue B.JV- " Concord Times. The revenue "oill which the Legisla ture proposes to enact, as published in the papers, will, if enacted, incur the merited disproval of the people. ' The inheritance tax was imposed by the fusion crowd, and nothing tended more to cause their defeat than this act. Democratic speakers yelled themselves hoarse denouncing the fusionists for passing this measure, and eloquently pleaded for the widow and the orphan. They held up to ridicule the heartless crowd that would tax their pittance when the head and support of the fam ily was taken away. The proposed income tax will be equally odious. To tax all incomes over $500 ia a great hardship. Take, for instance, the mechanic who makes $600 a year. With a large family his expenses are equal to this amount, .and yet he will have to pay taxes on $100 of his income. The farmer makes $600 in produce, consumes it in his family and pays no tax on bis income. There are a great many men in Concord who make over $500 a year and neces sarily expend every cent of it. If the bill as published becomes a law "the places" of the men who yote for it ' will know them no more forever." We are a Democrat of Democrats, and never voted nothing but a straight Dem ocratic ticket, and write this in behalf of the party. If the old maxim, "whom the gods intend to destroy they first make mad," still be true, we fear for the grand old party which has ever stood for the liberty, peace and pros perity of the people. The One Thins Fatal. Senator Dopew was one evening en tertaining a party of congenial friends in Washington. He was at his best. The affair was partaking largely of the nature of a lightning monologue, but as the quality of his talk was, as usual, fully up to the quantity, the others were not complaining. But even he must take breath, and as he paused momen tarily to do so, one of the friends sud denly straightened up in bis chair and in a mofet impressive manner said: "Senator, you might have pneumonia and recover; you might have yellow fever and recover; you might have smallpox and recover; but," and he shook a warning finger solemnly, "if you ever get lock-jaw you'll burst !" The Greensboro Record learns that the jury in the case of Long vs. the Southern Railway tried in Iredell stood ten for damages (to what amount is not known) and two against any damages whatever. Mr. Long sued for $50,000. There was a mistrial. Healthy Mothers Few mothers are healthy, because their duties are so exacting.

Whitakcr of Forsyth, was the first speaker in the impeachment proceedings today. He said he did not represent lawyers, but the great masses and he saw no reason why the high position of judge should render them exempt from the law. KM acknowledged they had violated the law and constitution. All decisions had been toward tking power from the people and putting it in the hands of the judiciary. It is a prima Jacie case. It would be a disgrace if these Judges were not brought to trial for the offense. Members of the judiciary must not vio late the law with impunity. Curtis said the Judges had know ingly overstepped the powers conferred upon them and invaded another have trampled on the rights of the people. Robinson said it has been brought offi cially to the attention of the House that the law and the constitution had been violated and it was the duty to punish the violatera. A bill was introduced in the House to prevent drunkards practicing med icine. The cigarette bill took most of the time of the Senate today, ' An amend ment was offered that the sale of cigars or tobacco ia any form or coca cola be prohibited. Alexander wanted $10 paid to imformers. Raleigh, Feb. 18 The Connor re solution was defeated 85 to 12. The impeachment resolution passed the House 62 to 33. Ebbs, oi-Jdadison, the leading Re publican ivihe House, today opened the arguirieiibn the impeachment res olution. He said nearly a hundred years ago, in the case of Robinson vs. Barfield, when the Legislature presumed to touch private property the Supreme Court held that Buch an act remains a dead letter. The act of 1899 was solely to get White out of office. He was appointed in 1897 for four years and the court decided that he was entitled to the office for that length of time. They couldn't abolish him and put seven in his place. If these judges are liable to impeach ment, Rufiin could have been im peached. Clark, in his dissenting opinion, held that if there was an appropriation to pay White's salary mandamus could issue. White's term had not expired, he was not charged with malfeasance and therefore the act appropriating money for his salary remained in force. The decision was directly based on that of Abbott vs. Beddingfield. "If you impeach these judgeB, said Mr. Ebbs, "go to the grave of RuflBn, Manly, Hendtreon and -Pearson and impeach them." Craig closed the debate in a masterly argument, "I hope," he said, "this will teach the people that none are so high they may violate the law with im punity. Never has there been a more flagrant usurpation of power by the judiciary. The Supreme Court made a deliberate attack on every act of the legislature of '99 and sought to destroy it. The Legislature sat in perpetual ses sion for two years to prevent the Supreme Court thwarting the will of the people of the state." He discussed, many decisions at length. Raleigh, Feb. 19. Henderson in troduced a bill to-day for the. protection of birds nests. In the Senate Brough ton introduced a bill to prevent running four wheel caboose cars. Woodard, to tax dealers in pistols and other deadly weapous $25. The House appointed nine prominent lawyers, who are members of that body, to manage the prosecution on the part of the House in the impeachment pro ceedings before the Senate against Chief Justice Furches and Associate Justice Douglas, of the Supreme Court. The The managers are ex-Judge W. R. Allen, ol Wayne; Locke Craig, of Bun combe; ex-Judge A. W. Graham, of Granville; R. H. Hayes, of Chatham; J. F. Spainhour, of Burke; Geo. Rountree, of New Hanover; R. B. Nicholson, of Beaufort; F M. Shanaonhouse, of Mecklenburg, and A. A. F. Sewell, of Mcore. The Senate to-day passed the bill pro hibiting the sale of cigarettes ta minors, after eliminating the $20 tax feature. Senator S. B. Alexander introduced his State road law. Mr. Ardrey introduced into the House a bill to regulate the sale of cot ton seed in Meclenburg county and to amend chapter 5G3, laws of 1899, relat ing to Mecklenburg's roads. Raletgh, Feb. 20. At 1:30 o'clock today the House presented at the bar of the Senate for impeachment, Chief Justice Furchej and Associate Justice Douglas, reciting that in voilation of the letter and spirit of the constitution and in defiance of the plain statuary law of the State, they have usurped the powers subvemve of the legislative de partment of our State government. "In the name of the whole people of North Carolina, whose constitution ha been broken, whose laws have been defied, whose future peace is threatened and imperiled," the judges are to be impeached for "high crimes and mis demeanors ia office." Watts introduced a bill to place tbe statues of Macon and Vance in statuary hall, vVashiDgtou, aDd to appropriate $10,000, therefore and appoint Matt W. Ransom, T. J. Jarvis and T. J. Allison as commissioners to cany the same into effect. Pretty 12-year-old Miss Willie Clemens, who for days past had been vainly en deavorieg to induce the ministers of Goochland, Va., to peform her marriage ceremony is at last a bride. The weddirjg took place lattly at the home of the girl's mother in Goochland. The bridegroom is Mr. Willard Hodges, 22 years old, an intelligent and popular young man of Louisa county. UENBRAL NEWS. Report has it that the amount paid Mr. Carnegie for his holdings in the Carnegie Steel Company ia just ten times what the United States paid Spain for the Philipines, with 8,000,000 people. The Senate of the Kansas Legisla ture has passed a bill designating places where liquor is sold as public nuisances and providing means for the County Attorney to suppress them. During the discussion of the bill a strong tem perance sentiment among the Senators was displayed. A Huntsville, Ala., dispatch says Berry Hall, the white school teacher who is charged with assault on a 13-year-old white girl, has been captured. A mob had been after him and' when he was undergoing his preliminary trial the mob burst in the door and took the prisoner from the officers and led him to a tree in the court where a rope was thiown over a limb. Here the proceed ings halted, for not a man could be found to tie the rope around Hall's neck. An officer stepped in and led the prisoner off to jail. STATE NEWS. After deliberating since 7:30 o'clock last Saturday evening, the jury in the case of Lone vs. Southern Railway at Statesville failed to agree, at 4:30 Sun day afternoon a mistrial was declared. Ex-Governor Russell is in Raleigh. He says he has settled down to home life on his fine farm in Brunswick county, where he has built one of the most attractive country houses in the state. He has a diiry and a fine herd of cattle. He practices law in Wilming ton, but spends some time eacb day on his farm, which is across the river from that city. The brave young postmaster, Alexan der, who defended his postoffice at Emma, near Asheville, shot two of the robbers and whipped the two un wounded ones, though h'mself shot twice, is the present hero of the mountain region. He was engaged to be married and directly after the shooting, when it was feared he might die his fiancee became his bride. The people of Asheville are making up testimonial for them. It is now known that the robbers are the same men who for who for week past have been "hold ing up" and robbing people in both town and country. What a "Iluffalo" n. Statesville Landmark. The Landmark has been asked the meaning of the term "buffalo," as applied to certain people. This term is peculiar to eastern North Carolina and few people in this section understand it. The term was applied in eastern North Carolina to those persons who, during the civil war, were not only traitors to the Confederacy and refused to support it, but who worse still stayed within the Confederate lines and covertly aided tbe Federal forces with supplies and information calculated to aid them in their invasion of that territory and in the overthrow of the Confederacy. . No class of people were so cordially hated, and justly, by the people of eastern North Carolina as these "buf falos," and the severe st term that can be applied to one in that section is to call him a buffalo. The "buffalos" were similar to the "bushwhackers" in western North Carolina except that they were considered infinitely worse, in that the "buffalos" were not content with opposing the Confederacy or with Bimply going over to the enemy, but that they stayed within tbe lines and, like the sneaks, hj pocrites and cowards that they were, secretly conveyed aid and comfort to the enemy. Took the "No-Popery' Oclh. London, Feb. 14. The oath which King Edward took in Parliament today was the "no-popery oath," imposed by the Bill of Rights and the Act of Settle ment of tne time of Charles II. It is as follows: "I, Edward, do solemnly and sin cerely, and in the pretence of God, pro fess, testify and declare that I do be lieve that in the sacrament of our Lord's Supper there is not any transub stantiation of the elements of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ at or after the consecration thereof by any person whatcover, and that the in vocation or adoration of the Virgin Mary or any other saint and the Sacri fice of MaBS, al they are now used in the Church of Rome, are superstitious and idolatrous. "And I do solemnly, in the presence of God, profess, testify and declare that I do make .this declaration and every part thereof in the plain and ordinary sense of the words read unto me, as they are commonly understood by English Protestants, without any evasion, equi vocation of mental reservation whatso ever, and without any dispensation al ready granted me for this purpose by the Pope or any other authority or per son whatsoever, without any hope of any such dispensation from any person whatsoever, and without thinking that I am or can be acquitted before God or man of any part thereof, although the Pope or any other person or persons or power whatsoever should dispense with or annul tbe tame or declare that it was null and void from the beginning." No Dlpenary at Charlotte. Charlotte, N. -C, February 16. The dierensary movement recently inaugurated here collapsed completely today. A committee representing the supporters of the movement tried to ob tain a modification of the rules prepared by the legislative delegation for the pri, mary, and falling in this, the commit tee announced that no further eflort would be made for the present to secure the dispensary. . .7 Biiminivna mwn1 .117, Tfa IT nun. vi J DUCTION. lUllls to Stop all Night Work and One Day lit Each Week.

These mills represent 300,000 spin dles. Besides those attending, let ters have been received from 25 orr 30 other yarn mills throughout the South, representing 150,000 spindles, all of which express the owners as being in favor of a curtailment of production. President McAden, speaking of the meeting, said that the thousands of miirbperatives that would be imme diately affected by the partial shutdown, would receive the special consideration and care of their employers. The night shifts will not be allowed to suffer; and and all operatives will be given just as much work as is possible under tbe cir cumstances. He is very sanguine over the result of curtailment, believing that it will mean, approximately, a reduc tion of almost 50 per cent, of the South ern yarn production. Disgraceful Scenes In Austrian Parlia ment. The disgraceful scenes in the Austrian ReichBtatb, of parliament, which in recent years have blocked all legislation and compelled the Emperor to suspend the sittings of the body have been again repeated during thepast week, culmina ting in riotous demonstrations rarely witnessed in that turbulent assembly. The Opposition asserted itself by hurling filled ink pots, rulers and books at the Cabinet ministers. Deputy Eoyedi dealt Premier Szeel a blow in the face, and Herr Lukac, the Minister of Fi nance, received a black eye. The Min isters finally fled from the chamber, and the Deputies continued to fight among themselves until blooi' began to flow everywhera when the sitting was adjourned. The Emperor has again threatened to prologue the body. Mr.C.L. Gattis, a prominent citi zen of Gastonia, died last Sunday night of smallpox. Southern Railway. THfi . . .
