Official Washington is amazed and astounded at the revelations made under oath by Leroy Dresser, late President of the Trust Company of the Republic, relative to the thimble rigging in connection with the sale of the Bethlehem steel plant to the Shipbuilding Trust. It has shocked even Wall Street, hardened as it is, and appalled the people. According to Mr JJresser, J rierpont Morgan Charles M Schwab, and their part ners in "high finance," in return for proiierty worth $7,200,000, receiv ed $30,000,000 in the securities of the trust, together with an agree ment that none of the stock or bonds of the trust was to be marketed until the holdings of Morgan, Schwab et at. had been sold to the confiding public. What was this but a double intended cheat on a gigantic scale? A cheat on investors by taking their money lor water, and a cheat on the stockholders of tho trust by depriv ing them of a market for their secur ities until the holdings of the "cap tains had been transmuted into money. What is 4 he difference, in its moral quality, of the action of these "captians of industry" these financiers who practice arts for the pillaging of the cummunity, from those which land small swindling rogues in lailr let these discredit ed men have held, and still hold, the bnancial welfare of multitudes throughout the United States iu the hollow of their hands. And among these are persons, who posed as dem ocrats during Mr Cleveland's last term, and were conspicions among the bolters of 180(3 and 1900. They are the same smug hypocrites who -have the brazen effrontery, the in effable gall, to attack an American patriot like William Randolph Hearst. They ure tho same bandits who unctuously talk about protect ing the conservative business inter ests of the country, who want to pass upon the "safety" forsooth, of me uemocimiu prcsuicnuai cauui- dute, and who, under cover of a san ctimonious demeanor want to put for ward one of their tools as the stand ard bearer of Jefferson's party. The Shipbuilding Trust's records show that "Mr Morgan got his first." Well, there doesn't seem to be such a' marked difference between Mr Mor gan's methods in this instance and when President Cleveland handed over to Mr Morgan an entire govern ment bond issue to "llout. Mr Morgan took the bonds at a good deal less than the market price and two days later peddled them out at a profit of $5 or $6 a bond. Again, "Mr Morgan got his first." The New York newspaper headlines explain in their terse way: "Morgan got $5, 000,000 for a nod," in the shipbuild ing swindle. What did he have to rive for the government bond floata tion inquisition.' Kemcmber that the gentlemen who engineered the shipbuilding dual, the exposure of which has star tled even the moral pachyderms of Wall Street, are the same who tell us that they must namo the demo cratic presidential candidate. Will the people stand it ? Will they al low the men who arc pillaging the people, and who are being helped in tneir game uy me x resiueui oi me United States and the Secretary of the Treasure, bv loaninc them the money in the United States Treas ury, to name the candidate of the democratic party for president ? If they do they know what they will get The republicans in Ohio are get ting scared. Ilaana has lost his head and is swearing and storming at Tom Johnson like a maniac. He answers logic and reason with curses and epithets. Verily, "Whom the gods would destroy they first make niau. ino republicans are goiug to import about 1,800 spellbinders into the state to demolish Tom John son and John II. Clarke. One of these spellbinders is Mr. Roosevelt s Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Les lie M. Shaw. The voters in Ohio seem to be trying to srrive at an honest conclusion iu this strenuous campaign cud they are asking many questions. The lenublicuus are trying to make the campaign on national is-! sues and endeavoring to dodge state issues. It is presumed, therefore, that the honorable Secretary .of the Treasury will confine his speeches to national issues of finance and taxa tion. In that case suppose some good farmer should invite him to answer these questions: Is it lust to continue taxing the people $50,000,000 a year : is excess of the needs of the government T Would it not be better as well as more equitable to leave the money not required for the expenses et tne government in the pockets of the people who earn it, rather than to deposit it in favored banks without interest f Why should not Congress at the coming session repeal or reduce the duties on steel and other trust-made products that are manufactured cheaper here than they can be abroad and are actually sold in foreign mar kets at prices lower than to our own consumers ? When will the republicans repeal or reduce duties that are no longer needed for either revenue or protec tion, but that, in the language of the Iowa republicans, "shelter monop oly ?" Does the Secretary think the "day after never" a satisfactory date? Or is it bis opinion that the time and the character of tariff, revision should be fixed by the monopolies that benefit by the duties r ' n&ailid answers to those ouestiona without quibbling of shuffling will open the eyes of thousand of voters in this election. Let us have them. The question ot how the fai-mets of the western states stand on the tariff and trust issues has been strongly indicated through the en terprise of the "Farm and Home", published in Chicago. That news paper sent out 50,000 postal card requesting answers to seven questions amongst which was: "Should tariff be revised"? The vote on that prop osit.ion was yes, 27,193; no, 10,738. When it is considered that the majority in most of the states from which this vote was gathered is largely republican, it marks the re volt in the ranks of that party against excessive protection another vote was taken on a kindred subject that shows how the ox tor tious ot the trusts are regarded by the farmers. The question asked was: "Should trusts be regulated or suppressed r The answer was: Reg ulated, 22,854: Suppressed, 14,449, This straw vote shows the drift for tariff reform and regulation of the trusts. The stand-patters have job in front of them next year. i here are oceans of unshed tears here over the decapitation !of Major uencrai tienry u.

UliAKLiSS A. KUWAKDo. 01 Interest in the Kitchen. The culinary pages of The De- useatoh for November breathe the spirit of the Thanksgiving feast, but they are not filled with the trite re- ipes that it is customary in many indications to resuscitate ut this seiuion. The title of the paper in the "Carlotta and I," series, An Old fash'oncd Thanksgiving, might sug gest the contrary, but the dishes there-in explained are of such age that they are disreguarded in this day, to the great loss of modern onrmanda, and will merit retelling. Likewise the wording of "A Colon ial Dinner for Thanksgiving" is lisleadmg, for it is not the New England dinner enjoyed by our fore fathers, with fair, denominated a la K u sso and, doubtless, as delectable. A Witch's Supper for Hallowe'en and Some Sweet Sauces are both en ticing, and Mushrooms in Delicious orms contains some worthy s"gges- tions for the housewife. Two illus trated pages of Cakes for Special Occasions arc an attractive featnre. The Delineator. Puttldf Up Hois to Fatten. Hogs should be penned for fatten ing early in the month. It is a time hen their instincts lead them to stray away iu search of mast of roots. Unless put up and fed they are apt to be lost or at least to be come unmanageable. Hogs do best ben allowed a considerable range. Small pens are not so condnctive to their health as large ones, and not less than one acre for ten head should be provided. Forjearly feed feeding wheat bran may be snbtitut- u part for corn. .Peanuts, groundnuts, sweet iwtatoes and sorghum are all valuable for fatten ing hogs, and are much more econo mical for that purpose than Indian corn. - The best substitute for corn is the cowpea. A succession of lota should be sown at intervals during the months of June and July, and the hogs turned in as fast as the peas show signs of maturity, bnt be fore the vines have become yellow. They are eaten greedily by the hogs, pon which they fatten quickly, it is said that an acre of ripening cow peas will pasture' from fifteen to twenty hogs for a week or more. The farmer will be richer by several huudrel pounds of meat for every acre of cow peas he feeds to his hogs. Two weeks before slaughtering the hogs should have no other feed but corn. ' I his burdeus the nosh and keeps the lard from lwing oily. Asncs and salt should be placed so that the hogs may have easy access to the nuxturo. in case they are infected with lice, sulphur should be added, and the hogs sprinkled with kerosene at intervals of a week, or two. If they should show i clinatiou to eat gravel, charcoal or bituminous coal should be given to them to correct this morbid appetite. Hogs never fatten when they eat gravel. 'If they should persist, h?t them be changed to a new pen. Ool. J. B. Killebrew.

There is much truth as poetry in transformation. Lip inoott's Magazine, SAM JONES' LETTER. Rev Sam P Jones Writes ol the Joys Country Life. After three weeks of rest and cuperation, and still I have not rest ed or renniierated. I wonder how long it takes to rest and recuperate But i am learniLg to enjoy it more, as I get in the habit of doing nothing hut feed the calves, colts and pigs and watch the dairyman milk and churn, etcs. I write of my condition and new habits, not for want of other things to write of but because there are so many overworked acquaintan ces and friends of mine, who are.like myself, worked down and worn out nervously. My advice is not to west, but take to the woods, to hills, to county life. The crowded resorts are splendid retorts for those who are worn out doing nothing, but it a fellow is worked down, then quiet and calves and colts and pigs are splendid compaions and the country life his best resort. The cotton picking season is in full blast now and when all hands get in about sunset with boskets full of cotton and see the weighing process and the smiles on the darkies' faces who had the heaviest baskets and the jeers ot the others, its real amusing, possums are ripe now and soon 1 hope to be able to go 'possum hunt ing. 1 am thankful for a home in the country with my daughter, away from the noise and hustle of town sud city, from the crowds, to the quiet of nature at its best. The rural free delivery gives us the daily papers about noon each day, ana wo spena a tew moments reading of railroad wrecks, cyclones, floods, murders, etc., and fwl serene and ndismayed because it seems so far off to us. I tell you distance lends enchantment in that case. We bave been reading with interest of the war mong the police force of Atlanta, iirnl u h u 1 1 n l,,f 1I..1I'. .M. and we are all on chief Ball's side, aud we know he will come out on top, in spite of the factions in the police board, and wouldn't it be a good thing to hang one or the other fac tions and turn Chief Ball loose? If he wns unhampered and free he would make one of the best chiefs in America, and there are a big lot of people in Atlanta who think more of Uluc-f Uall than they do of all the police board in a heap. It's the powers that be; that's the rub in nil our cities. Justice for the masses and special privileges for the few is what makes dirty politics and dirty gangs. Catch some law breakers, but give other law breakers notice tllul you ttlllUeuu hand eortaia hour to catch them. That's like the fellow who told the negro he would give him ten dollars a month and find him, and the negro says, "Boss, give me the ten dollars now and you can find me when you has leisure." No, gentlemen, I think if factions want fight, it's all right if they will get out of the corporate limits to fight, and fight it out, but to fight and fight in town and never skin a nose or black and eye, it s poor busi ness. If the police board will leave Ball uutrammellcd aud free, then Atlanta" will be policed right but a liandicapiied horse or man can not do their beat work. Good laws aud the faithful and impartial enforcement of law is the safe-guard of the home and the only secure protection of life and property. livery conntv needs a brave and em- cient sheriff, and every city a chief of police that can't be bulldozed, bought tor influenced by cliques or gangs. 1 can hear the rumblings of a moie quiet and couservative condi tion of things in the commercial aud financial world. Money is getting timid already, and the roseate hue is gone from the face of things. Crops are short ' of all kinds. Cotton shorter than it's been for years, and heie is one fellow that has no nine or nine and a quarter cents cotton to offer. I got ten and a half cents for my first lot sold, and I am going to keep up that lick or keep my cotton. It's a joy to live in the country, no burglars, no grumblers, no rowdies, nobody diunk, everybody so neigh borly and kind. The neighbors out here borrow salt and soda and coffee and meat and meal and farming im plements from each other and all pay back in kind and kindness, fto gossip mv, my, what a deliverance. Towns and cities feed and fatten on gossip, and naruiy a character so pure or a life s5 true but the gossip- crs of the day will involve their uames aud smear their characters with their hellish slander and vile tongues. I had rather get tangled up with a skunk than a scandal monger any day. u everytnmg we beard of folks was true then how vile is man and how awful woman is. But the saving clause in all the gos sip of the day, is the fact that the gossipers don't believe the slander they utter, much less the slander they hear. Gossiping is a habit jus' as drunkenness is a habit The only difference, drunkenness is the most decent it ' not practic ed by the most decent folks. I nope I shall be able to resume my work jv November 1st I had rather work than rest and how sad the reflection, that some day our work will be dons and we can work no more forever. If this world has nothing worse than work to give a fellow I would like to remain on earth aud work thousand years. I think it would take about that time to do all 1 would like to do before I quit my job. ' Yours truly, Sam' P. Jokes. Ex-Sheriff Robt M. McArthur, of Forsyth county, is dead. Do We Est Toe Much? be question whether cr not eat too much is just now agitating the scientific world and some direct and practical efforts are being made to answer the qnery. Professor Chittenden, of Yale, has takeu the matter iu hand and, with the sanc tion aud aid of the War Department, is about to institute some food ex periment on a select group of sturdy soldiers. They are to be fed scien tifically, and due note is to be taken of the chemical constituents of va rious viands and their relative nutri tive quality. It is quite likely that the minimum estimate of quantity and quality of nutrient material required will be surprising to most people. The assumption is predicated on the generally acknowledged fact that Wie present generation is very much overfed. We may go even further by saying that the Americans as a class are notable examples of their overindulgence. Dvsnensia is a ver itable American disease, due as much to the overloading of the stomach with rich food as to the hasty man ner in which the act is accompished, As regards the actual nutrition to be obtained it is the old story of the choked grate and the deficient draught The apetite is driven with a loese rein and is spurred by the multiplied trickeries of fancy dishes, in tne old times, when food was plain and physical labor was the rule, healthy hunger took care of itself. ft was not s good question of nam pered persuasion for this or that diih, t so much what the boy had to eat, but how much of good bread and butter he was allowed to eat. He never had occasion to think of his "tomach. save to fill it at the ght time. The good doctor who advised the rich dyspeptic to take only one meal ,uay and hrst earn it was perhaps all extremist but for his particular patient he evidently had the right view. Another medical man has written book to prove how many cases of uurouic invalidism ne cureu oy ln- sting that but one meal of meat should be taken daily. It is aston ishing to read how these sickly ones took a fresh spurt on such a diet we must admit that he was some what of an enthusiast as, with conscious humor, in attempting to prove that too much animal diet be gets a desire for strong drink he cites the example of Noah, who when pet mission was given him to eat nesn proceeded to get drunk! ut it is the raduial fellows after all ho stir un argument and make us wink on now Imim. The men also who ad.iocate the no breakfast theory are evidently utting off the wrong end of our pplies, as most people cannot make good start with a faint stomach. Much better might it be to skip the heavy lunch, with a reasonable and more natural appetite for the even- ng meal, and dodge altogether the bird and "cold bottle" at midnight. the meanwhile we may consistent await the scientific report of the experimenter. New York Herald, nd.) Sunset Olories. I watched a glorious sunset mar veling at tho beauty wherewith the evening skies were all ablaze and adoring Him who gave them their matchless coloring. Un the next evening I resorted to same spot, hop- g to be again enraptured with the gorgeous pomp of ending day, but there were uo clouds and, therefore, no glories. True, the canopy of sapphire was there, but no magnifi cent array of t-Iouds to form golden masses with edges of burning crim son, or islands of lovelist hue set in a sea of emerald; there were uo great conflagrations of splendor or flaming peaks of mountains of fire. The sun was as bright as before, but for lack of dark clouds on which to pour out s luster, his magnificence was un- revcaled. A man who should live and die without trials would be like setting sun without clouds. C II Spurgeon. Aycock and the Nefro. "The Disfranchisement of the Ne ro" is the subject of a very thought- 1 and manly article by Governor Aycock, of North Carolina, in the October number of "The World To day," in which he states briefly hat the disfranchising amendment the Constitution of North Caroh reallv means. He makes no de fence of the amendment He says frankly that under its provisions a great number of negroes have been liminated from voting population the state, while the voting pnv- ge has been preserved to the native born whites. "Sjieaking for North Carolina," he says, ,'I know that an honest persistent effort was made to obtain safe government without re sorting to the elimination of negro nrage. X he effort was a failure. We sought in vain to make the theory of nniverral suffrage work out good government and private virtue. We found by actual trial that it con Id not be done," Concious of the rec titude of their own purposes and true to themselves, the white people of aorta. Carolina then resolved that the negro should be eliminated as considerable political factor in their State, and as a consequence the amendment to the Constitution was adopted, and, for the present at least effoctusliy retires the negro" from any uaiigeruiia iwri icipauun iu uw (iuii tics of the State. News and Conner. The town of Marion, N. C ne wet has The Lone, Star, State. Mr. Editor: Will you give me small space in your most valuable paper. I must say, I think it one of the best county papers I see any where it continues to improve. As I have not seen anything in your paper of tho reunion of the Old Vet erans at New Orleans and as it was my time to go, I wish to write a few lines. As I boarded the train at Luling with a few of the old Texas boys all dressed up in good trim, for tho trip of 515 miles through one of the finest countries m the south and at every station now ones gotting on all the way un til the twelve coaches was well pack ed. The conductor said iust before he lunded us that it was the best behaved crowd ho had ever hud in his cars. One old man said that was the way Texas people did things, Cap. said it was nice, but he should rememlier a lot of that crowd was from tho old States, then we had some fun out of our old friend. We got to the city at 4 iu the evening and were sent to our quarters. There we met quite a crowd of our old comrades, all having a good time telling long varus. Few cities in the South offer such attractions to the ordinary visitors, but her sufferings and hardships render her doubly dear to the heart of every uonfedemte. It was upon ner old men too far advanced in age to take up arms, and her noble women, that were heaped all the barbarities the ingenuity of a brutal buller could imagine. Within her borders was the home of the gallant isran, regard at whose command the first shot of the war was tired, the hero of the first Manassas, the able engineer who planned the defence of Charleston Harbor, which so suc cessfully resisted the terrible attacks of the powerful federal fleet. Here lived and died the beloved George Moorman the inspiration aud life of the great order of the United Con federate, for which he toiled night and day and to whose efforts its wonderful success is entirely due. Here for a while reposed the pre cious ashes of Albert Sidney John ston, before their removal to their home in the state of lex as. In thnt great city passed away the ouly Pres ident of the Confederate States of America, Jefferson Davis; My letter is growing too long. I was glad to meet Col. W. P. Wood, of your city, there ho was in good trim. Tho last time I met him ho told me privately that he was invited to dine with the prottiest lady said to be that there was in New Orleans, that she was a widow from North Carolina. I did not niftpr. Iiim any ", nftor fhat. I went to his room but he had gone somewhere. 1 could not tell whether he had gone home or to dine with the widow. Yours respectfully, W.

Right, Drotber. It is indeed a poor salesman who can't sell a customer what he wants when the customer comes into the store and calls for it. But the idea is first to get the customer to come to your store. There is no better way to do this than to send to him each week a statement of what you have to offer him. And there is no better und cheaper way of sending him such a statement than through the columns of your local paper. VYaxliuw hntcrpnse. Silver Threads Among the Gold.
