MR. ARMOCR IMSCt'SSKS TIIT,
Mttvr ryFSTiox.
The net of the Department of Jus
tice in prosecuting the hi-ef trust some
more may have the desired effect of
.turning awav from the Republican
party the wrath of the people who
will remember that this era of snaring
prices comes under a Republican ad
ministration'. Meanwhile no harm will
be done by the prosecutions, even to
the beef trust. It is true the
prosecutions will ) on the crim
inal side of the docket, but if any
body is found nuiliy. after recent im
munity baths, it will be some of the
underlings who are not even known
personally to the great packers who.
from their palaces, communicate by
telephone their wishes to the bosses in
immediate charge of the packinu
plants.
When he little thieves ..f the sugar
trust were i aught, in spite of, rather
than because of, the efforts of the
Treasury Department, the board of
directors of the American Sugar Re
fining company resolved: "Your board
has no reason to in-liee and does not
bellc.- that any evcutivo officer or
direct'ii ol' this company had any
knowledge of or participation in this
fraudulent weighing."
As the ev York Sum remarked at
th time, wh.-n we consider the magni
tude 01 the financial results of tlv
conspiracy of the inferior employes to
defraud the government, the ingenu
ity, the persi.'-tencc, the- coherence, the
audacity of the svstem as already ex
hibited in the courts and atoned for
mo largely out of the Sugar treasury,
one hesitates, in contemplation of this
resolution, between amazement and
admiration.
Mr. Armour could probably prove
by nis board o! directors that he is not
responsible for, and does nut know
anything about the high price of beef.
Peebles, Mr. Armour says if the pcorle
or tni! country wish to eat cheaper
meat, tlo-v will have to tat less meat.
He regards with the utmost oinpos
ure a month's abslennnec. on the part
of a few hundred thousand of people,
eating meat during the l,eiiten season.
Mr. Armour Knows people will eome
to it sooner or later and when they
do he has only to throw open his re
frigerator doors ami supply the de
mand. That is what refrigerators are
for.
And still again. Mr. Armour said
some things to a reporter for a NVw
York paper recently that sounded a
good deal like sens-. He says the
public could not do better than re
frain from eating meat for awhile, be
cause the supply is not equal In the
demand. The consuming public, he
saiu, would not save anything the
object of the present boycott because,
when people turned away from meat
to purchase other commodities such
commodities, already high, would go
higher. It would give thn packers a
chance to catch tip with the meat de
mand. In other words, nut the people
would not help their private purses by
foregoing an occasional porterhouse.
Beef Is high, said Mr. Armour (and
this Is the part of the Interview that
Impressed us) because corn 1s so high.
Cattle raisers must ask mora for cut
tle now cause they ara being fat
tened on corn that cost twice as much
aa In some previous yean.
Thla matte- at corn, as we find oc
casion daily to remark, would provide
the kef to a great many situations, if
properly employed.

In our local columns it will be seen
I hat two great things in due course
lame to pass last week. The one, the
ale of our school bonds at par with
interest at 5 per cent., the purchas
ers hearing all expense of engraving
and issuing. The other, the purchase
of a commodious site for the graded
school building to be erected from the
proceeds of the sale of bonds. We
greatly regret that the amount of
bonds was not $15,000 instead of 110,

In another column we publish an
editorial from the liryson t'ity Times
advocating the nomination of Hon. A.
M. Fry for judge. While we do not
wish to In- understood as expressing
-my preference as to the candidacy of
either Mr. Fry or Judge G. S. Fergu
son, we feel free to say that we have
known Mr. Fry for nuite a number of
years as a genial gentleman, a good
citizen, a lawyer learned in his pro
fession and, no doubt, well qualllied
for the position to which he aspires.
His claims as to the reasons why he
should receive the nomination at this
time, will doubtless strike his many
friends as being well founded and
have considerable influence in the
democratic nominating convention
when it assembles to determine who
shall lie chosen to bear the demo
cratic banner in t lie judicial con
I. t.
An election has been called to be
held in Andrews, February 15, for the
town to vote on the proposition to Is
sue bonds to the amount of $20,000
for the construction of an electric
light plant, a water works system, a
sewerage sstem. and for concrete
sidewalks. We wish our neighbors

We call special attention of the
farmers of Catawba to the second ar
ticle in the tine series being contrib
uted to The Democrat by Rev. P. C.
llenrv. It Is the full argument for
good roads the greatest present need
of Catawba, along with a creamery.
The Democrat is glad to find so
many farmers interested Jn better
roads.
Mr. It. I Shnford tells us that he
has built a mile and a half of sand
clay road near his place at a cost of
about t- a mile. The sand, however,
was In the road He dragged It in
August and twice since then. He llnili
it inexpensive to keep up and is con
vinced that It is a good road to begin
with.
A petition has been largely signed
in the county asking the commission
ers to levy a tax of 20 cents on the
$100 for building good roads. Ever;,
farmer should sign this petition.
Marlon Progress.
The Spartanburg Journal, the lend
ing afternoon daily paper In upper
South Carolina, has the following to
say:
"8. C. Little, formerly of Spartan
burg, Is putting vim, energy and news
paper ability Into the Marlon (N. C.)
Progress, not only making a good
newspaper, but pushing the town for
ward." We greatly appreciate the kind
words of The Journal and are pleased
to note that a prominent daily paper
of another state appreciates our ef
forts to give the people of western
North Carolina a weekly newspaper
which la second to none. We ahall
continue to put forth our best efforts
to make the Marion Progress a good
newspaper, one fit to go Into the
homes of the best people of our sec
tion and be read by the children of
western North Carolina. We guard
the columns of this paper carefully
and will not allow anything to be
printed which should not go into the
homos of the people, . If the New
York Times had not already adopted
the slogan we would put on the front
page of this paper "All the News
Thats Fit to Print" We are going to
do our best the coming year to give
to the people a good, clean newspaper,
oontalning the news of Marion, Mc
Dowell county and western North
Carolina, aa well as the news of the
state and country.

New York. Jan. 24. The trend of
the opening price movement in stocks
today was downward, but on moder
ate volume of transactions.
Stocks continued to be pressed for
sale with rapidly receding prices.
Hears induced a fractional rally by
buying to cover shorts before noon,
but higher prices diminished the de
mand and the market yielded. I'.onds
were weak.
After overcoming selling pressure
and rallying a large fraction, the
market weakened again, but when
prices bad fallen to about the previous
hvel. busing was renewed and there
was a brisk rally.
