We saw a statement a conple days ago that a company of Northern men ' was being organized tosave the sur plus melon crop of Georgia, which could not be profitably shipped to . market and therefore went to waste. As Georgia is a great melon producer and the crop is not exhausted before the melons of other States nearer to the principal markets are ripe enough to ship, the surplus is generally a pretty large one. How this company proposes to utilize the melons was not stated, but it doubtless knows what it is doing and is not simply venturing on . an experiment. We are under the impression that we saw a state ment some time ago that a Georgia melon grower was making syrup out of his surplus watermelons and that it was a rery uice syrup, for which he found ready sale. Perhaps this is one of the uses that will be made of the melons by this company. For some years the surplus peach and oiher fruit crops of Georgia went to waste, as much does now, but in some localities they have established canneries and thus realize, value from the whole crop. There are several reasons why the attention of our fruit and vegetable growers should turn to the saving of all their crops as far as practicable, for this is the only way by which permanent profit may be counted upon, and the business become one with some stability. There are now in the South about twenty millions of people, and most of these are de pendent in Northern canneries for nearly all the canned fruits, vegeta bles, corn, beans, pickles, &c, which they use, and very few. of them have any idea of what they are eating when they eat of the contents of these cans or bottles. It never oc curs to them that this is a day of food adulteration, and that the un adulterated food or drink is the ex ception. In North Carolina we use a great quantity of these canned and bottled goods. There isn't probably a grocery store in the State the shelves Qgtwhich do not show more or less of them. This makes it in teresting to know what kind of stuff it is that we buy and eat. The fol lowing from the December bulletin of the Agricultural Department may give some idea. Giving the result of tests made, it says: "In the summary statement below is brought together the results of the examination of various canned vege table for adulterants. The term adulterant as here used, means that they contained one or more of the preservatives salicylic acid, benzoic acid, sulphuric acid, or formaldehyde. xwo nunarea ana twenty seven sam ples or this class of canned goods were analyzed, 151 samples or 66 5 per cent, (practically two thirds) being aruneiaiiy preserved by the use of chemical antiseptic. This is anything but an encouraging outlook for the condition of the canned roods market inthe8tate. Formaldehyde was the moat largely used antiseptic, salicylic acia ranking: second. These, espe cially me iormaiaenyde, are power ful antiseptics, and are more or less injurious to the human sys tem, especially to tne digestive ap paratus or invalids and other persons who are already suffering from disturbanc a of this kind. Be cause no immediate bad effect is felt from the use of food containing "these preservatives is not proof that they may not oe exerting: some slow, in junous influence on the body. Be sides, there seems to be no good reason why the manufacturers of canned goods shou !d indiscriminately admin ister physic in food without the k ow ledge or consent of the user, when the body is in no wise in need of it, eapeci ally of the kind given. The vegetables in the cans not containing antiseptics were in as good condition as those hay ing the large t amounts of them. This, with what has already been said in re gard to. the destruction of germ life by beat, indicates that antiseptic are not necessary to the proper conduct of the canning business, and there seems to be no good reason why they should be- usea, wnen the products are clean, sound and fresh, and are properly put up in this condition. y "Subjoined to this summary is a statement of their findings, snowing the per cent of adulteration of canned goods to be as follows: Per cent Adulterated. 60 Corn Tomatoes Beaos and peas Corn and tomatoes. .. -.. O-tra and tomatoes. Okra Asparagus- 8uccotash ... 63 03 ..' 7818 ... 100 00 .. 100 00 . . 60 00 ... 77 77 7 14 ... loom Pumpcin. Uelery ioooO Total 68 62 "Tomato catsups and sauces were examined ror preservatives and artifi cial colors. The same methods em ployed for detecting antiseptics In canned goods were used with these articles. "All of the catsups, except one, were found to contain chemical preserva tives, quite a number of them having two and some of them as many as three different ! preservatives in the same bottle. In all of the sauces, with , one exception, were also found one or more antiseptics. . - There is some excuse for the use of I preservatives in this elasa of goods, inasmuch as they are used in very small quantity at a time, and must be kept for qoitea while after opening but It would appear that the indis criminate' addition of the very large amounts of antiseptics found In a large number of these samples is not justifi able, and we .doubt the necessity of their use to this extent, . "Most of the tomato catsups, . in ad ditlon to being artificially preserved. were also artificially . colored , with eolor tar dyes. Borne of the numerous dyes fsom eotor tar are injurious, and even poisonous, while others appear to have no deleterious effect on the hu man sj stem. - Granting that this arU- octal eolorinr is harmless and "even : ornamental, it may at the-same- thxte be biding dirt and disguisiHg unwhol- SDS pnHBCH." v " . According to this :r over sixty six and a call per cent, of all tL can ned and bottled stuff we eat is more or less adulterated, some witn poia- onous'adulterants, poisonous enough ; to kill quickly if a large dose be taken, and tioisonous enough to kill or shatter the health in time when taken in the quantities consumed in eating these preparations. The use of what are called preservatives has be come so common these days that they are fdund in almost everything eatable, in meats, fresh and salted; in fish, in meats cooked and canned, in vegetables, fruits and nearly everything:. ' It has become bo com mon that little attention is paid to it, although, analyses show that some of the preservative accents used are highly poisonous. We can't help buying this staff and taking the chances when wo 7 hay it, if we use these kinds of food, for we don't know what preserva tives, if any, are used in the brands we buy, and consequently do not know whether we are taking a aose oi quictc or biow m ? 1 poison . or . not wnen we eat a meai of which these constitute a part. As a matter of self-protection, aside from the money there may be in such industries, shouldn't this suggest the establishment ' of can neries in the fruit and trucking sec tions of the South, where these articles could be put up for our people, where no poison- ous preservatives wouia oe usea, and upon which our people could rely for their supplies without depending upon .Northern canner- ies, which send out so much adul terated stuff? There certainly should be among the twenty millions of people in the South, canneries enough to make a market for all the fruits, vegetables, &c. which could be put up. There are plenty of openings for these industries right here in North Carolina. FOE A GIGANTIC TRUST- There is a Steel Trust, several of them, in this country, but in the estimation of some of the scheming capitalists they do not fill the bill, because they have not as absolute control of the production and the markets as might be obtained by a more far-reaching and gigantic Trust, one with capital enough to crush any attempt at competition. That is what J. P. Morgan, the great promoter and schemer, seems to be aiming at, judging from the fol lowing Philadelphia dispatch to the New York Tribune: It is learned from credible sources that negotiations are under way look ins to the purchase or control of the Carnegie Company" by J. Pierpont Morgan and his associates. This is said to be the first step in an extensive plan of virtual consolidation in the industrial field along the lines recently carried out m the railroad world in bringing a number of roads under the so called 'community of interest con trol, e r "The present plan according to the report contemplates the bringing of ail the great steel companies under the control of a small group or capital iats. , Whils an actual merging of the properties may not be brought about, the scheme provides that the control of all the big properties shall be vested in the same hands, and that the companies shall be economically and carefully operated and rate cut ting and ruineus competition done away with. "Ho step in this direction could be made without first considering the. Carnegie Company, by far the largest. most powerful and most resourceful of all the steel companies. This cor poration is capitalized ot $160,000,000, and there is outside of this an equal amount of bonds. Andrew Carnegie owns an absolute majority of the stock and bonds. He has personally more than 63 per cent of this enormous amount, and the remaining interest is owned by his S3 partners and a few other holders. "Recently, according- to sources gen erally regarded as well informed, ne gotiations have been going on between J. Pierpont Morgan, representing a pool of capitalists, and Mr.; Carnegie, looking to the purchase of Mr. Car negie's entire stock holdings. If this transaction be effected Mr. Morgan, through his interests in other big steel properties and the newly acquired con trol of the Carnegie Company, will be in a position practically to dictate to every other steel company in the country, and, with this done, it V be lieved that the few independent ani mations would be easily persu! Jed to come into the combination." H There may be nothing i this, and yet there may be. If tffere be how completely such a gigantic com bination would have in its power the steel production of the country, and the industries which use steel; not only these, but the mines which produce iron, and this means that one combination would have abso lute control over the greatest manu facturing business in the country, and one that affects more industries and people than any other one manufacturing industry in the conn- try. 1 Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt ex claims that women are no longer under the heels of the man with the hoe.

' ' " " j -Yesterday we presented an object lesson on the color line from Kansas City, Kansas, and following that in quick succession comes another, that has in it all the elements of the hor- rible, from Leavenworth, in the same State. Not content with killing by j rope or shot the brutal assaulter of one white woman and the suspected murderer of another, the infuriated men of that town, following the ex ample of the mob in Colorado Some time ago, burned the criminal at the stake. Eight thousand or more peo ple witnessed the" horrid spectacle, and there does not seem to have been any attempt made to rescue the assaulter from the girl's aven gers. This was not in the South; it was not in a rural section, but in the heart of one of the principal cities of that State, which in ante-bellum days was a refuge fqr fugitive slaves and where white men defied the law and fought to prevent their return to their masters. The crime for which this negro suffered such an awful retribution was the outlawed crime, for the pun ishment of which outside of the for malities of the law, the men of the South have been so much con demned and so mercilessly scored by writers who had never been put in the same place, or subjected to the same ordeals the southern people were. ' When the test comes home to them, how soon they show how little there is in moralizing, how easily it is forgotten, and how quick they are to visit with speedy and terrible vengeance crimes upon their wives and sisters. The averago man is pretty much the same on either side of a geographical line. A cute firm in Toronto, Canada, did a paying business by advertising a beautifully bound book of 400 pages, full of good things and one that every sport should have, one of the most, wonderful books ever written in French and translated into English. Its reading was pro hibited in some countries. The French and the prohibiting features were the catchy points with the sports, and the book was going like warm cakes, until some detective suspecting unlawful use of the mails wrote for a copy, enclosed the price and got a nice 15-cent Bible. "The North Carolina Year Book" for 1901, published by the Raleigh News and Observer, is a valuable production, in the amount of use ful information it gives pertaining to our State. The want of a work of that kind hs.been long felt, and we congratulate he compilers on their success in meeting this want, by putting information within the reach of all which could not other wise be obtained without consider able trouble. It does not claim to be perfect, but every one will recog nize its value on sight. CURRENT COMMENT. . Attorney-General Griggs be fore the Supreme Court of the United States argues that our new island possessions are the property of the United States and not part of them. This is a distinction which places a marketable tag on the islands. Bargain-hunters in islands will please note. Chicago News, Ind. Sir Thomas Linton is said to call the Prince of Wales "Teddy," a aegree oi xamuianty that carries with it the right to slap his highness on the back; which shows that man is never satisfied. There are any number of people in this country who would give that and all their yachts thrown in for the privilege of doing that. Atlanta Journal, Dent. Italy wants a $35,000,000 in demnity for her share olthe Chinese trouble. That country was one of the smallest contributors of troops and her interests are not large in proportion to those of other powers? If other nations demand as much in demnity in proportion as that called for by Italy, China will have a heavy bill to pay. Atlanta News, Dem. Of the four leading articles of American export cotton, bread stuffs, provisions snd mineral oils there were sent out $833,164,250 during the year 1900. As compared with similar exports in 1898,wbread- stuffs, fell off $16,713,435, petro leum increased $8,294,033, provi sions increased $4,437,389 and cot ton increased no less than $123,011, 317.

In addition to the regular dividend of 8 per cent, paid stockholders, a dividend of 50 per cent, in stock from accrued divi dends will be issued to stockholders. It was also decided to build a new $50,000 mill on the company's prop erty, near the present mill. The new mill will be equipped with 6,000 spin dles, and for the purpose of building and equipping the new mill a limited amount of stock not less than $30, 000 nor more than $50,000 will be sold. Already $15,000 . of this stock has been subscribed. Asheville Citizen: Marcus Erwin. clerk of the Superior Court, figured in an attempted blowup Satur day afternoon, Claude Miller having the fire-works in charge. - In the morning Miller had been tried on a warrant sworn 'out by Mr. Erwin charging him with the embezzlement of 25. He was bound over to court by Justice James. In the afternoon Mr. Erwin was accosted in the upper rear corridor of the court bouse by Miller, who engaged him in a discus sion. Sheriff Lee happened along just about then, and as he was going up the back stairs, and within about five feet of the two men, Miller said some thing to the effect "You have lost confidence in me, and now I haven't a friend left," and as he made the re mark.he struck a match and attempted to light a dynamite stick which he held in one hand. Quick as a flash Sheriff Lee struck at the match with one hand and at the stick with the other. He put cut the match and broke the dynamite stick in two. Miller still retained one half of it and quickly put the end in his mouth, de claring he would explode it by biting the cap. The sheriff made , another swipe at the stick and knocked it from his mouth. This ended the matter. TWINKLINGS. Between Friends Miss Ole timer "I think kissing is so foolish!"

' Street cries are especially, noticeable as the hawkers ply their busy trade. But : though the traffic in Paris is noisier, it is not dense. Yet it appears more bewildering to the foot-passengers in Paris because of the Want of order. The Parisian police, ot guardiens de la pais, are not nearly so much in evidence as our policemen. The coachmen in Paria seem to drive where they please, and if a policeman held np a restraining hand it is questionable wheth er the driver of a public vehicle would pay much-attention to his warning. They sometimes rather timidly hold up batons. It is therefore necessary to be careful in the more crowded places in crossing the streets. The little victorias skim past in such happy go lucky fashion tnat tne wonder is there are not more frequent ac cidents. In Paris the modern fashionable quar ter for dwelling houses lies in the Chau see d'Antin and west of the Madeleine, near the Elysee and the Champs Elysees, the district of the Faubourg St. Honore. The old aristocracy chiefly inhabits the Faubourg St. Germain, south of the Seine, opposite the Tuileries and its gar dens. The famous Quartier Latin, the re sort of students and art workers, lies east of the Faubourg St. Germain. This is the learned corner of Paris. Here are the universities most of the colleges, schools and scientific institutions, and for centu ries this has been regarded .as the stu dents' quarter. Behind the Church of the Sarbonne is the Lycee Louis Ie Grand, founded in 1560 by Francis I and reiU by the Jesuits in 1C80. Close by, on the Place du Pantheon, Is the; Lycee Henri Quatre, with its ancient though restored tower. This formed part of the old abbey of St. Genevieve. The ancient refectory is now used as the chapel of the Lycee. North of the river and. to the east of the Place de la Bastille, the Faubourg St. Antoine is the artisan quarter, where the chief part of the working people dwell. Here are found cabinet makers, wood carvers, carpenters, all the useful trades, and in revolutionary times the outbreak has usually proceeded from oi been fomented in this quarter. There is a most interesting museum, the Musee Carnavalet, a beautiful building, begun early in the sixteenth century and finish ed 100 years later. It stands in the Rue Sevigne, a street leading on the left from the Rue de Rivoli, just where that street changes its name to Rue St. Antoine. The Maison Carnavalet was the town residence of Mine, de Sevigne from 1677 to 1696. It is now a municipal museum and contains objects relating to the his tory of Paris from early down to recent times. Various objeets here have connec tion with or Illustrate the revolutions ot 1789, 1830 and 1848.- Some of the sculp ture on the building is the work of the famous Jean Goujon, 1520-1572. Chica go News. i Briefly Announced. There is no personage quite so impos ing as a well developed specimen of the British butler. The Wellesley Magazine relates an anecdote of one butler whose taste for the impressive was too much for the family whose service he had en tered. He was a newcomer and almost his first duty was to announce the arrivals at his employer's first "at home" of the season. The earliest guests to appear were1 Mr. and Mrs. Penny and their daughter, old and familiar friends of the family. The new butler announced them in measured tones and with majestic mien: "Mr. Edwin Algernon Pembroke Pen ny, Mrs. Edwin Algernon Pembroke Pen ny and Miss Maud Victoria Penny." Other arrivals were announced at equal length and with equal solemnity. Before- the next "at homeQ the master of the house suggested that so much repetition and elaboration was unnecessary; that he would prefer to have his guests an nounced more briefly. The magnificent being bowed grave assent and said noth ing. But his feelings had been wounded, and he was, unlike most of his kind, as clever as he was majestic. As before, the first to arrive were Mr. and Mrs. Penny and Miss Penny. When they had ascended the stairs, they paus ed an instant at the drawing room door; the next the butler flung it abruptly open, and they heard themselves briskly announced to their dismayed hosts in the comprehensive formula: "Threepence !" Blaclcamitfc Aprons. Every Easter Monday morning the blacksmiths air over the land, following an immemorial custom, put on new leath er aprons. They do this twice a year, at the Easter and Christmas holidays. Deal ers expect it of them and lay in a great stock in advance. The most recherche blacksmith's apron is now made of sheep skin. It has a diamond shaped bib to cover the breast, but fashion dictates that should not be worn up, but should fall from the waist down over the stom ach carelessly. The apron fastens behind with two brass buttons and comes in three colors, white, lemon and tan. The white one, which is affected by the younger and more xnodisn sort 01 DiacKsmitn, is re enforced and padded at the knees for horseshoeing and such like work. This is an effeminacy disdained by the austere and hardy blacksmith of the old school. Though all aprons are slit np the middle to the thigh, they still continue to be sold unslit. It is because the manufacturers are not progressive. An apron costs $1 and lasts about six months. Philadel- I j A SIir.anderstnndiMS.

The tables were turned completely in - to-day's market for cotton I futures, the bulls being in control from opening to closing. The direct cause for the up ward movement Was an unexpected bulge in the English market, which in turn was influenced,, according to private cables, by smaller offer ings of spot cotton and talk of a bullish circular by Neill in the near future. On the advance many minor bull factors came to light and helped the market The - opening was steady with prices up three to five points. The shorts for a brief time were inclined to believe the reaction only a temporary matter, but con tinued advances abroad soon led to a hasty retreat on the part of local bears and brought an influx of investment buying orders! Before the demand had been appreciably appeased, prices had climbed to a level fourteen to six teen points above the closing bids. of yesterday, while Liverpool had reached a net gain of three to four and a half points. Claims that cotton mill ends were improved, that spot cotton South was brinrinp fullv- io higher priced and that receipts weie in shape to fall) off considerably, all helped to strengthen bull convictions and weaken the confidence of shorts. During the afternoon the market riilort generally firmJ though quiet, and at the close was steady with prices net twelve to sixteen points higher. New YOBXJjan. 16. Cotton Hull. middling uplands 9Jc.
