We referred a few days ago to the oleomargarine investigation now in progress before the Senate Commit tee on Agriculture, which is giving a prettj fall hearing to both friends and opponents' of the Grout bill, the c professed object of which is to sap press an wholesome compounds which compete on the market with batter, bat the real object of which ia to destroy the oleomargarine in dustry and give the bntter dealers a monopoly of the market. Some very strong arguments, supported by some interesting facts, have been presented by the opponents of the bill, some of which are embraced in the following extract from an ad dress before the committee, by Mr. Amon, a wholesale ' oleomargarine dealer, of Jersey City, which we clip from the Washington corres pondence of the New York Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulle tin. He said: "I am bold to assert that in the period between 1935 and 1950 there will be no milk available for the mak ing of batter, which, of course, would ' be a great hardship provided you and your successors do not tax butterine oat of existence. "You may smile at the rloomy out. look, vet it is a fair prophesy to say that if the present rate of increase of population is maintained with the esti' mated shortage of the cow iopdIv. the supply of milk in the coming years will ail be required for table purposes and invalids. "In confirmation of this I may cite Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, who stated a short time ago that there are 10,000.000 fewer cattle in this country than there-were ten yean ago. Butter, the best of it, is now retail ng at 28 to SO cants a pound,and in some instances double ana treble these figures, when sold under the mark- 'Consider the prices of the poor man's butter, which, under a name de - signed to hinder its sale, steadily and continuously sells at a much lower price to the everlasting credit of the little French chemist who first evolved it from the fat of the steer and gave to the commerce of the Uaited States an added impetus and value. "Ia farther confirmation of the proposition that the supply of cows for milk will not keep pace with the increase in population, the increased J f :il i At . ' i ueuuuu lur HJU.JL in iuo ciues nas already caused a tremendous decrease in the production of batter in all the Eastern and Middle States. "Milk, instead of batter, is going from the farmers to the consumers to such an extent that statistics of the railroads, known as milk roads, will show that the aver age haul of milk has doubled, and, in some instances, trebled. "In 25 yean batter will be a luxury s- and butterine more of a necessity than it is even now. Congress should re- move all tax on oleomargarine and permit the farmer to work up his milk with the materials which are also raised on the farm and which' go to make oleomargarine, and so render him independent of the creameries, which are rapidly going into a mo . nopoly or trust, paying what. they like for the milk or cream they buy on the farm of the producers. "Thus it would seem that oleomar garine ia no more an object of Federal taxation than any other of the thous and of food products original and stimulated, all of which are susceptible of nmiwr Mntml h Rtt law "In disposing of this feature of the question let me ask if it is not crowd ing the mournen pretty closely, espe cially in districts where batter is not made, to compel their residents to pay tribute to the general government! "It is constantly asserted by those behind this bill that it is in the inter eat of the 'poor farmer.' If so, I op pose this bill aa a farmer myself. "Milk from mv farm cava ma mtuh better than any other product of it, and this proposition applies to every other farmer of the country. "Far from injuring the farmer, oleo margarine manufacture can be made a positive benefit to him. If oleomar garine could be manufactured in all the SUtes, a more profitable market for milk would be gained, as the milk pmuuoer wooia nave anotner pur chaser for his produce besides the milk dealer and the creamery man. to depend upon the rural districts for both milk and butter. If there be 10,000,000 fewer cattle in this country now than there were.;. ten years ago, as reported by Secretary Wilson, how will it be ten or twenty years hence ? This is doubtless one of the rea sons for the increased price of both milk and bntter, notwithstanding the fact that we have now hundreds of creameries in the country to the one we had then, which tarn out an immense quantity of batter by a rapid process which onght to make it cheaper than butter made in the old, slow way. Bnt it is dearer, be cause the number of butter con sumers is steadily increasing while the milk for batter making is not increasing in proportion, not in creasing at all. There has doubt less been an improvement in cows, and we may have more good milkers now than we had then and improve ment will continue to be necessary, as economy will compel the feeding of one cow when some years ago several might have been kept at small cost, when there was more free range for pasturage. Fewer cows and smaller herds will take the place of the more numerous common stock that ranged where land was cheap, most of it unfenced and pasturage was firee. Every year as the lands are taken up and put under cultivation, the pastnrage be comes more contracted and this will necessitate smaller herds and fewer milkers, while at the same time the demand for milk and batter in creases. . In the face of facts like these the supporters of the Grout scheme pro pose to destroy an industry which supplies. the masses of the people with a wholesome substitute for bntter, better than dost of the so called good butter put upon' the market, at a price within their means, instead of passing a law, as they should, for the protection of the honest oleomargarine maker as well as the butter maker, from fraud ulent imitations of both. Let them, if they are honest, pass a law re quiring oleomargarine to be put upon the market under its own name. This would give all the pro tection the butter maker or dealer Bhould ask, and this no honest oleo margarine maker or dealer should object to. There are several strong points in this, one of which is the constantly increasing demand for milk, to which might be added the constantly increasing demand for good butter, both of which command good prices and a ready market if there be the necessary transportation to get them to market without too much loss of time and at reasonable charges. As remarked in thebove extract many of the dairymen those near enough to large cities, where there is much demand for milk, find it more prontanie at the prices they receive to sell the milk than to con vert it into butter, even at the pre vailing high prices paid for butter, while others who have made a name as fine butter makers convert their milk into butter because thev can get their own prices for the butter they make, some of them near New ' York who supply wealthy families in that city (and no others), receiving, it is said, a much as 11.50 a pound for their batter the year 'round. Of course these are exceptions, hut peo ple pay according tb their fancies, and there is very little of what is called good butter which sells at,re tsil for less than thirty cen& a pound. It i evident from this that oleo margarine does not compete with the dairymen who sell milk or with the dairymen who make good butter. It doesn't compete with this kind of butter more than molasses does, and it would be just treasonable aid just as defensible to put a prohibito ry tax on molasses as to puHt vpon ' oleomargarine.- .'r .rrv It is proposed by this ? bill i to strangle an induttry which." if it ia not a necessity now will bV In the near fntnro M v. i - - -w mu, mcrcaaq w me number of cows does , not keep pace wita ine increase of the population, espocially : with , the urban - m-1 elation which keeps no cows, and has THE GOYE&XO&'S DTATGITBAI. The large crowd assembled in Ra leigh yesterday to witness and parti cipate in the inauguration of Gover nor Aycock, gives evidence of the rejoicing of the people that North Carolina is once more, in its execu tive and legislative departments, in the control of theJ)emocratic party, which means in ctne control of her white men. As far as the ceremo nies attending it went, and the en thusiasm of the people it was all that could be desired, and the new Gov ernor, who may . well feel proud of the splendid endorsement he re ceived at the polls, goes into office feeling that he has the people with him, and may count on tffeir loyal support in his efforts to promote the progress, prosperity, honor and glory of North Carolina and her people. Elsewhere we publish the Gover nor's inaugural address, which is de voted mainly to a reiteration of the promises made in the campaign, to a plea for the education of the people, for aids in industrial effort, for re spect for law and order and impartia justice to all peoplo of the State, in securing which he asks for the co-operation of the Legislature, regardless of political affiliation, and the guid ance of the God in whom he puts his trust. A KANSAS OBJECT LXSS0B. Object lessons on the color line are becoming a common occurrences these days on the other side of the line without being confined, to any particular section. We have had many of them "within the past year or so, and some of them quite re cently, from half a dozen Northern and Western States. The latest is from Wichita, Kansas "bleeding Kansas' of ante-bellum days, and is thus reported by wire: e "A series of riots which began ia this city early this (Sunday) morning, eoded tonight in a street fight be tween three colored and three white men. More than a dozen shots wt re exchanged between Wily Sctwell, a Texas negro, and Cash Johnson, a white trunk maker. Schnell wa shot in the head, but will not dip. Johnson was shot through the groin and his condition is' seri ous. A man named Herford was slashed with a razor and a yound man from the country had ssveral ribs broken. The principal negro con testant fled and a mob of 200 white men punued and caoa-fct him. Police men hurried him to a wagon and suo - ceeded in escaping from the mob. "The result of the day's rioting is seventeen arrests. "Several hoodlums who tossed a motorman off a trolley car, breaking his legs and ribs, started all the trouble. A strong force of police has been .posted to night and peace nas reigned since dark." This does not state the cause of the racket between the negroes and the white men, bat as usual the hip pocket pistol and the inevitable razor figured in it, and then two hnndred white men started in the chase of the negro who played the leading part in the row and the police had to hustle to get him away from the mob before supplemental proceedings were instituted. That was in Kansas. Here is another of a somewhat different character, which is reported from Jersey city. The evangelical ministers held a meeting to devise a campaign against vice in the city. A colored minister appeared at the meeting and asked if any provisions had been or wonld be made to let the colored ministers take part in the campaign. He was informed that that matter had not been considered and when he remarked that it didn't looked ex actly Christain like to ignore the colored ministers in a work like that the presiding minister snubbed him by saying that it was rather late to consider that matter and recognized some other preacher, which pat an end to the colored incident. This was not a mob, but a meet ing of ministen, to inaugu rate a crusade against vice in the city, who deliberately froze' the colored brother out and refused to recognize him as a worker in the canse. We venture to say that there is cot a town in the South where that would have been done. 7r v; "WW, SPIRITS TURPENTINE. A Homer s True Friend nI would like to express my gratitude for the benefit received from your won derful medicine, 'Favorite Prescrip tion,' "writes Mrs. H. C. Anderson, of South Britain, New Haves Co., Conn., (Box 33). "During the .first month of pregnancy I could not keep anything on my stomach. Was so sick that I had to g to "bed and stay for weeks. I tried different doctors, but with little benefit. I read about many being helped by using your medicine so I thought I would give it a trial.

I was only in hard labor about one hour and got along nicely during con finement ; was up and dressed on the eighth day. I never had the doctor with me at all. My friends thought that I was sick a very short time. I think Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion is indeed a mother's true friend, for it helped me wonderfully.''

A St. Louis millionaire who hA quarrelled with an artist who had put up $20,000 worth of jobj&or him is going to take spite it of him, and make it hot for him by Durnmg his pictures. The f rtist, who has his pay in his pock, can stand it and is probably looking for some more' jobs when the million aire crank .gets over his tantrum. 13 THIS TO BOOST THE AJLKY BLLLT The dispatches from Manila, pub lished yesterday, inform ns that the rigid measures adopted by General MacArthur are knocking the bottom out of the insurrection, that the people of the cities a getting sick of furnishing supplies and helping the fellows in the woods, and that they are, therefore (impressed with a due respect for General MacAr- tnar's tender consideration), show ing a disposition to help in propa gating the work of "benevolent as similation" and recognizing the jurisdiction of Uncle Sam. Being shot or deported to Guam . (our St. Helena) isn't very enticing to the average Filipino, and. conse quently it isn't surprising that those of them who are under the muzzles of American guns and within reach of General MacArthur's order execu- tors snouia no somewhat circum spect in their sayings and doings, and outwardly at least show a good deal of respect for the U. S. flag and its defenders. But we have heard a good deal of this kind of. stuff from time to time before, and the fact that it comes now coincident with the discussion of the Army bill, gives ground for the suspicion that it may be in tended to boost and expedite the passage of that measure. Complaints are made in Lon don because the Boers are permitted to use American flour. A few American biscuit might improve the fighting qualities of those British troops, too. A tlanta Journal, Dem. While the Chinese are play ing with the joint note of the allied powers are daily falling out with one another and threatening to quit the concert. This is what the Chinese want. Let them have the opportunity to negotiate separately with the powers and tney will sec on one againt the other and get hand somely out of the present trouble. Already Russia is talking of giving up part of the demand and settling with China on its own account. Mobile Register, Dem. The accumulation of great wealth creates great responsibilities. Money can be so spent as to make money for the spender and at the same time make work for labor. It can be so spent as to go thundering down the ages with benefit to man kind. Bat with those who have it rests the manner of its use. It is better to spend half a million for a splendid wedding than not to spend it at all. The bidden guests will hardly get more joy of it than the unbidden toilers who build and spin. Philadelphia Record, Dem. The ''process of attrition,' the London Times says, is doing its work in South Africa, "and must shortly lead to the inevitable result." Yes, indeed. There are some 30,000 isoera and 200,000 .British in arms in that country. If they can be made to strike together often enough nat urally the smaller pody will be worn out first. It was by this "process of attrition" that the North wore out the South some thirty-odd years ago. Having a force seven times as large as that of bis enemy, Lord Kitchener is in a position to play the game. Savannah News, Dem. TWINKLINGS. ; Newton Enterprise: The Ha worth and Puckett foundry in Hickory was burned last Thursday night. Tbe loss was about $1,600 and no insurance. . I i--' Greensboro Telegram: T News was received here Saturday evening of the accidental killing of a man named Henderson at Dave Coble's aw. mill, near Julian. Tne accident occurred in the forenoon. Mr. Hen derson waa engaged in unloading a car of lumber and one of the heavy timbers fell on bind, mangling him so badly that he died after a few hours of intense agony. He was a brother of the station agent at Julian. Tarboro Southerner'. Accord ing to the newspaper reports, Arthur Bernard, son of District Attorney Claude Bernard, after several weeks' persistent efforts, secured the commu tation to twenty years from life im prisonment for Joe Powell, colored, who was convicted of burglariously entering the house of Bettie Meares, of this county. He has already served uiteen years or his term. The report i says that young Bernard once lived next door to him, and because of his impression took the trouble to get up evidence and petitions for this com mutation. . - Salisbury Sun: Mr. A. J. Spurgeon, whose home wafe at Lexing ton, was Instantly killed at the depot in that town 8unday evening. Mr. Hautie Pool, of this city, was the only eye witness to the tragedy and was at the depot with a niece of the unf tunate man. Mr. Spureeou was tempting to cross the track when No. 76. a local freight from tbe South pulled out On account of his condi tion the man's movements were un steady and before he could clear the track tbe engine bit him. killing him almost instantly. Mr. Pool says he' was told that 8purgeon expressed tbe wish a few days ago that 'if I ever get drunk again I hope God will kill me." Lincoln Journal: Chris Sher- rill, a well-known farmer of IrOntown township, was found dead by the road side Saturday morning. He had been missing from his home since the Thursday before. It seems that he was assisting a neighbor, Mr. Joseph Lynch, in hauling on Thursday. Late in the afternoon he started along a by path to Mr. Lynch's house., He did not get there and Mr. Lynch supposed he had gone home, while his own peo pie supposed he was at Lynch's and did not become alarmed on account of his absence until Saturday morning, when search was made for him and bis dead body was found by, the path where he had evidently fallen dead a few moments after parting from Mr. Lynch on Thursday evening, and by tbe side of his dead master where he naa Kept watcn during tne weary hours, was his faithful dog. Death was evidently due to natural , causes. CapL B. F. Grigg lost a fine cow last week in a peculiar way. The cow had been sick for three weeks. When it died CapL Grigg had a post mortem held on it and found that its death was caused by a six-inch "bagging" needle in its heart The needle is supposed to have been in some "mill feed", upon which the cow was fed and that she swallowed it, but how the needle got into the heart from the stomach is yet an unsolved mystery.
