Nash County Farmers Hold Meet ing and Pasa Ringing Resolu tions Holding Trust Re sponsible For Starva tion Prices. Nashville, N. C, Aug. 10. Fully three hundred of Nash county's leading farmers, including the prin cipal merchants of this place, as sembled here to-day to enter u pro test against the action of the Amer ican Tobacco Company anp all other combines that have forced the pre vailing disastrous low prices for to bacco on the farmers. Ringing speeches were made by Samuel F. Austin, w ho represents the largest tobacco growing estate in the county, and Mr. Isaac Carver, another prominent and successful to bacco grower. The farmers of Nash are thor oughly aroused over prevailing con ditions, as will be seen by the fol lowing resolutions, which were un animously adopted: Whereas, The price of leaf tobacco is now far below the cost of produc- tion and out of proportion to the price of the manufactured article, this being contrary to the law of supply and demand; and Whereas, A continuation of such existing circumstances will bririg disaster to the citizenship of Nash county,; and Whereas, It is self-evident that this calamity is the direct result of the arbitrary fixing of prices of the tobacco trust, therefore be it," re solved: First, That this body does hereby publicly express its indignation and contempt for such arbitraty and ty rannical oppression of the tobacco farmer. 2nd, That we deplore the existing circumstances and powers that he, which permit such a combination of wealth accumulated to thus oppress the producers ol wealth. 3rd, That we endorse the action of the Retail Grocers and Merchants' Association of Kinston, N. C, in their fight against the trust, and further request all the citizens of Nash county interested in the resto ration of a normal state 6f trade, ir respective of trade or profession, to meet with us in the court house in Nashville, N. C, on August 14th, 1903, to see if something more ma terial cannot be accomplished, Isaac Carver, J. M. Williams, E. B. Grantham, Committee. M. W. Lincke, Sect'y. GIVE IT TO 'EM, BEN. Charlotte Observer. A Kansas City dispatch to The NeW York Sun says that "Benjamin Tfc. Tillman, United States Senator fr;c9 South Carolina, now has his 'tfame enrolled in the lost-pass record rf the Burlington Railroad," and hat a notice was posted in the union station in that city Thursday last to the effect that the Senator's annual pass had been lost. The Palmetto State Senator's pocket was picked on his recent tour with Senator Burton. Some may think that the making public of this incident would embar rass Tillman, but the way he can ex TTisitters to a South Carolina audience will be a caution.. "Yes, I , rode on a pass," one can hear the Senator say.- "I saw other officials getting favors from the grasping cor orations and while I knew it wasn't ! io.ht I wanted South Carolina to have her share of the graft." (Cheer and shouts of "Give it to 'em Ben!") 1 Pit (BO GOV. AYCOCK REVIEWS CAMP A Numerous Staff Attend Him He Dines With Officers. Greensboro, N. C. Aug. 10. Gov. Aycock arrived on the noon train from Raleigh and reviewed the Third North Carolina regiment en camped here this afternoon at 6 o'clock. The dress parade and re viewing ceremonies were witnessed by an immse crowd of citizens. Of the 27 offiolJh the governor's staff more than half of them were here, taking part in the review. The gov ernor was met at the train by Adju tant General Royster, General Arm field, Col. Craig, and a committee of citizens consisting of Mayor Pro Tern. Stafford, City Attorney A. M.

Pope Pius X. was crowned in St. Peter's Sunday morning with ceremonies of the rarest splendor in the presence of a great and imposing assemblage. The stifling heat was the only drawback to the occasion, Several of the crowd inside the church fainted and many of those standing outside were sun struck. The new pontiff arose at 5:30 this morning, saying that he did not wish to change his habits. He slept last nisrht in the apartment occupied bv Cardinal Oreglia during the interreg- on the first floor of the Vatican. No decision has yet been taken concerning the pontiff's ultimate quarters, but it is already said that he desires them to be extremely modest. At 7:15 the pope said mass, assisted only by Mgr. Bressan, his conclavist. He afterwards took breakfast, which consisted of only coffee, milk and a roll. As he stood after breakfast, against a window, from which he caught a glimpse of the gardens f the Vati can, the pontiff exclaimed "My first pleasure when I can spare a moment will be to explore the gardens which now confine my little vorld." A few anecdotes show what man ner of man Pius 2 is. His position as patriarch of Vej&ise bapugh him from $2,000 to $2,200 a ytmrt which did not go far whentro ngt paid the bills for all of hfsirtsifes.

"For 27 years, from the month of August until heavy frost, I have been afflicted with hay fever, grow ing worse and worse each year, and of late years I was unable to attend to my work during that period.

This letter is one of many that have come to the proprietors of Hyo mei, and the results following this treatment, have been so wonderfal that it is proposed at the annual con stlon of hay fever sufferers to ree oxfifcnend Hyomei to all who are sus ceptible to this disease Hyomei is a treatment for hay fe ver that combines the latest discov eries of science and the best of com mon sense. Knowing that a change of climate was the only way in which relief could be obtained, the evolu tion of Hyomei naturally resulted.

Good? well a nice fresh Monte Christo Is a mighty delicious thing, Its manna to the hungry poor, . And would satisfy a King. There's no grub that will surpass them But the Sampson county blue And a better fruit than either No mortal ever knew. They are healthier than a drug store; They aie food and raiment too, And they satisfy our longings, As nothing else will do. J. M. H. Goldsboro, Aug. 10. A FLESH-FORMING FOOD.

Thinness and emaciation are signs that the food is not properly assimilated and that you do not get the nourishment you should. Mi-o-na mingles with the food you eat, aids its assimilation, tones up and strengthens the digestive organs, and puts the whole system in proper physical condition; it saves the di gestive organs from exhaustive work. By its use the elements need ed to put flesh on your bones will be selected from the food, and each day will show a noticeable gain in weight. Commence the use of Mi-o-na to day at their risk. If it increases your weight and cures you of indigestion, it will cost you 50c, if it does not, J. H. Hill & Son will pay for the treat ment themselves ana return your money to you. COMPROMISED.

FORT GIVES A BRIEF HISTORY OF THIS FAM OUS OLD FORT. The Fort Was Built by Mr. Redoing Gresham Pittman, a Native of Halifax County. His Name Should Go Down in His tory. Mr. W. B. Fort, of Pikeville, was in the city Tuesday on his way to the reunion at Fort Fisher this week. In speaking of the bombardment of the fort, he said that the fact should be widely known that the plans of the fort and its fortifications were drawn by Mr. Redding Gresham Pittman, a native of Halifax county and a graduate of the University at Chapel Hill- During his vacations Mr. Pittman visited Cuba, where he studied the fortifications of Morro Castle and other Spam'sh fortifications, from which it is supposed he got his ideas for building Fort Fisher, - which withstood the heaviest bombardment of the world, even exceeding that of Sebastopol. Mr. Fort said that he understood that others were trying to claim the credid of planning the fortifications of Fort Fisher, but he said that Gen eral Whiting always gave Pittman the credit and it was he who did the work. The fort resisted one bom bardment successfully and if Gen eral Whiting's orders had been car ried out, Mr. Fort said, the fort would never have been taken. Mr. Pittman lived in Goldsboro for a long time and did engineering work which stands as a monument to his ability to this very day. He made his residence in Rocky Mount for some time before his death. His name should go down in his tory as one of the' great men which the grand old State of North Caro lina has produced.
