Re pi esentatire Littlefield are to TTiaVfi a ftnmmnsd movement on the Trulta at the next session of Con grei has giyen additional interest to tie discussion of the trust ques tion). It is evidently the purpose of Mr J Roosevelt to play this for his owd benefit, as if it originated with hi J, and hence that Oyster Bay dis patch Bent out the day after he reached his Long Island home in forms us that after some conferences with Mr. Littlefield he was requested by The President to draw up a bill embodying the views of the Presi dent, to be submitted when Con gress meets in December. Now it appears that this bill, which was to be &rawn up at the "request of the President," was drawn up by Mr. Littlefield last May, as an improve ment upon one which had been drawn previously, but got lost the shuffle. It passed House but was pigeonholed in Senate and was never heard of up in thi the afterwards. Mr. Littlefield does nroTKJse to let Mr. tooseeit appropriate the credit of having suggested that business, but is hankering for some of the fame himself- He has an ambition to be hailed tiie SJeaki trust curber. The Washington correspondent of She New York Sun, (which be ing a loyal Republican organ would nof misrepresent either of the distinguished gentlemen figuring in -thja business) informs ua that Mr. TiiltlAfipM drew no his bill early in mIv last and submitted it to At tofney General Knox for such sug- rf eestions as he might make in con nection with it. Mr. Knox took it, criticised it and re-wrote it, chang in it so much that Mr. Littlefield nntld hardly recosmize it, and it is that bill which will be introduced nejt sessien in his name. This correspondent also informs usShat the first bill introduced by Mf. Littlefield (the one probably which got lost in the shuffle) will be abandoned by him and permitted to slumber on undisturbed. The rea son why this bill the colaboration ofjjMr. Littlefield and the Attorney General was not pushed in the last . 11 , session wa3, we are ioia, oecause thre was so mnaESKmportant legis .laion which had "fb.e right of way and would crowd it out, and there fore it wa3 deemed best to keep it in 8ok and Bay little about it until they were ready to spring it when Con gress meets. The fact that Mr. Littlefield has been called in, according to this OyBter Bay report, to work jointly wilh the President and the Attorney General, moves the Washington Post, which keeps close track of the Btaltesmen and their schemes, to re mark as follows: It appears that an administration anti-trust bill is to be introduced in Congress on the reassembling of that body in December. Hitherto Execu tire activities in behalf of anti-trust legislation have been confined to rec ommendations in the regular annual messages. President McKinley called the attention of Congress to this sub ject, and expressed the hope that a legislative remedy for the evils of monopolistic combinations would be da vised and applied. President Roose velt, in his message to the Fiity seyenth Congress last December, treated the trusts in a conservative manner, but suggested publicity aa I) an important feature of reme dial legislation, But neither the rec ommendation of McKinley to the Fifty-sixth Congress nor of Roose velt to the Fifty seventh Congress fructified in any anti-trust enactment. Indeed, there was no feature of the programme of the Republican leaders ink both of these Congresses in the Fifty-sixth throughout its life and in the Fifty-seventh throughout its long session more evident than their de termination to avoid interference with the trusts in any way. But in the Fifty sixth Congress the House of Representatives did make a farcical pretense of attempting an at tack on trusts and combines. Assum ing it to be a fact that the President hai requested Representative Little field, of Maine, whose name fills the seventh place on the House Judi ciary Committee, to prepare the P'j posed administration anti-trait bill, we are moved, to remind that gentleman of the existence of an anti? trust measure that was put through the Hquse almost, if not quke,unaaimous lyand is now in a pigeonhole in the roam o.' the Senate Judiciary Conimit-teej-the identical place for which it was originlaly intended the restful abode toward which it was intention ally directed by its frame-s and promo ter!. Mr. Littlefield was even then, al though new ip Congress, a member of that important committee, but he was no credited with or suspected of the authorship of that measure, yet it would be far from creditable to his in telligence and sagacity to suppose he did not have a full understanding and keen appreciation of the farce which he committee was perpetrating. It was a two-act prcductiOBJSding besides that famous anti-Tu-dll, now en tered upon its third year of unshaken lajQber, the still more widely famed Bryan-Naphen-Jenkins-Ray commit tee's anti-trust amendment. Fresh as he then was in the councils of the nation, the new "man from Maine" brought with him a keenness of per ception and a sense of humor which must have heightened his enjoyment of that racy farce-comedy !. That Mil although intended to meet death in the process of parturition, was printed and several copies of it are la' existence. Possibly Mr. Little field has one of them. At any : rate, he can readily obtain one, and he may find it edifying to make a careful study of the meana which suoh distinguished statesman as Messrs. Rav. Jenkins, i Parker. Over- street. Alexander. Warner, and others recoimnenaed for the suppression of evils incident to monopolistic combina- Hona. j But if. la toe court of his inrestlga-I dons of the operation, of trusts and l combines, it should happen to occur to Mr. Littlefield that tome of the moat extortionate and exasperating of the monopolies are sheltered by tariff schedules which are, not needed for protection or revenue, whst will be do then? Although the Post says Mr. Lit tlefield was not "even suspected" of the authorship of that bill which was put to sleep in the Senate, it was probably indulging in some hu mor, for the impression is that he was the author of it. This is the bill to which the correspondent of the Sun doubtless refers when he says Mr. Littlefield "will abandon it," and concentrate his efforts and energies on the joint production of himself and his assistant, the Attor ney General. This will contain the "publicity" provision upon which Mr. Roosevelt lays so much stress. Mr. Littlefield's first venture, when he was fresh in the.House and was not posted on the mortuary methods of the Senate, proved a fizzle, or what the Post calls a "farce," and this proposed second venture will turn out another farce if it eyer gets along bo far as to be offered in the House. If in spite of the Trust question and other issues on which the Repub licans have made a vulnerable rec ord, they succeed in electing a ma jority in the next Congress thej will take this as a popular endorse ment of their course in refusing to tackle the trusts and tariff revision and will laugh at Mr. Littlefield's bill even when it comes in as an ad ministration measure. If they be beaten and the Democrats get con trol of the Honse, Mr. Littlefield's bill will not do the Republicans any good; they will let the thing die and in the next Con gress the Democrats will put Mr. Roosevelt to the test by present ing an anti-trust bill which will cover the ground and embrace the big trusts such as the U. S. Steel Trust as well aa the smaller ones. But that is a pertinent question I with which the Post .concludes its remarks. What will Mr. Littlefield do then with his farce? TOBACCO CULTURE Iff THE EAST. Thirty vears ago there was little tobacco grown in North Carolina outside of what was then called the tobacco belt, bordering on rginia. The impression prevailed that good, marketable tobacco could not be sue cessfully and profitably grown out side of that belt, but now there is probably more tobacco grown East of the center of the State than there is West of it, and a better and more profitable tobacco, too. Our impression is that the first venture with this crop in the East was made near Goldsboro, whesp the experiment was so successful aa to encourage others to try it, and thus year by .year the number of growers increased and the area expanded nn til tobacco has become one of the principal crops in a number of Eastern counties, which in the ag gregate sell annually many mil lions of pounds. In the section around Newbern, where the culture has been introduced within the past few years, it is . becoming a leading crop, as we learn from the following, clipped from the Journal: The outlook for the tobacco crop this season is very encouraging the best for some years; not only is the yield per acre greatly increased, but the number of acres is three or four times that of any previous year. The recent rains were sufficient to make the crop; already some have begun to care arj within a week or ten days that process will be in full blast. This crop, introduced in this section a few years ago, is rapidly superseding all others as a money crop. The New bern market will handle at the lowest estimate between one and a half to two million pounds. Both warehouses will be run and the ooeninr sale prob ably August 1st. To bacco is a crop that requires constant attention from the time the seed are put in the plant ' bed until it is sold, and it is only those who give it attention learn the art of handling it skillfully who will make much money out of it. A few acres well cultivated, well cured and well handled will give more clear profit than three time3 as much poorly handled: This ia a busi ness in which the saying, "a little farm well tilled" comes in with full force. Some boys may be born to be hanged and others not to be blown up. A butcher's boy in New Haven, Conn t wante4 10 'ate a short cut down through .

The work men tried to beat him back with shovels and sticks, but he put whip to hia horses, broke away from them and dashed through over that pile of dynamite. The workmen expect ed an explosion, of course, and got awayfrom there as fast as possible. When they got over the scare they returned and an inspection showed that some of the sticks had been pressed into the soft earth by the wheels and- others mashed by the hoofs of the horses.

Dr. Edwin Anderson Alderman, who resigned the Presidency of our State - University to accept the Presidency of Tulane University, at New Orleans, delivered an -address at the Fourth of July celebration of the University of Chicago, theme being "The Southern Boy and His Opportunities." The New a a Orleans Times-Democrat makes complimentary notice of the address and quotes the following as an Ulus tration of the "true ring" that was in it: ! "TheVSouth is to-day the most American part of the country and the r-nnBt onntarHtln R conservatism is not meant ignorance, for the passion for education in tne aoum is i reaching and the results already felt Tk HttiA trrnn where the inhabi tants used to doze under the trees and hotly discuss State rights are now hnT thrift? and haonv. The arlory of having foueht nobly for a lost na hi, aivAn ditrnitv to the South just as it will give strength to the Pnara tnr o An ArfttionS to COmB. The nesrro Question was a hard one to dispose of, but the South has acted in a wise way in insisting mat me ne bp a nnlitiral factor should not be recognized. The South realizes that the negro is a human factor. His training is a necessity, but he has no place as a political factor. It was a Diece of folly to thrust the franchise nnnn tha tiftB-ro in the first place. So- ;Uv thA Srtiithrnftr will never recocr nizb the negro as his equal, but he will recognize mm as an a.mericau, jusnjr entitled to rights of training ana ecu cation which is being given every where to the youth of the South." There is solid truth in this, spoken candidlv and bravely without trnr.klincr and it sounds so much - o better than the wearisome flap doodle about the bridging and closing of the. chasm, and our be iner a "united people" again, which O a. - we have heard iterated and reiter ated until the ear has become -tire c of it. Bat there wasn't any politica in President Alderman's address nothing but just good, plain, can did, matter-of-fact Southern sense by a man who went to Chicago to tell hia Northern hearers the nn varniahed truth in language not offensive but which they could all understand. We hear occasionally some re markable fish stories and some terra pin stories, but Kent county, Va., caps the climax in the latter, with a story about a negro who had been carrying a terrapin around in his inards for four years. He and the terrapin combination proved more than a match for the doctors, when an old negro woman told him he had been hoo-dooed: that he was enter taining a terrapin and that she would dispossess the terrapin for $100. He gave her the job and took her medicine. The first dose helped him, but the second dose killed him, and exploded him, but didn't phase the terrapin, which crawled out as peart as if it was used to that kind of thing. If the Hon. James S. Clark- son ha? kept close track of politics, he will proceed npon the theory that a Southern delegate in hand is not much better than two Southern dele gates in the bush. The Southern delegate is never sure until the mo tion to make the nomination unani mous has been adopted. Washing' ton Postf'Ind. President Roosevelt said in his Pittsburg speech that Cuba shall have reciprocity as sure aa there is a sun in the heaven. We are in clined to think so ourselves, but some of the United States senators will have to get short on sugar first. and that may not happen until the millennium.

Mrs. Natkan BealStyi: PAIIME'S CELERY COMPOUND Savd Me from the Insavno Hospi tal Well s Cured My Rheumatism, There never was a remedy so highly recommended as fame's Uelery Uom- pound. There never was a remedy in such universal demand. It is popular and prized in tens of thousands of homes, because it makes sick people well. Paine's Celery Compound has saved thousands from nervous prostration and collapse; it has effected wonderful cures in kidney and liver complaints; its victories over rheumatism and neu ralgia have commanded the attention and admiration of our best pnysicians. It has cured disease when everything else has failed. Mrs. Nathan Beals, a well known lady of Gallup's Mills, Vt., writes as follows: "For ten months oerore i commenced taking Paine's Celery Compound. I could not put my foot on the first round of my chair, only five inches from the floor. I had nearly lost the -use of my left side, and I could not lift a pound weight with the left hand without danger of dropping it Many times I would lift something at the table, only to drop it I had a pressure in the top of my head and a pain at the base of the brain, which would leave me so nervous that I used to tell my husband I would surely go crazy. I could not keep still at night, and Sundays were just awful to me. I found my whole system pros trated, and it took a long time to build up my poor, wornout nerves. 1 thins that Paine's Celery Compound saved me from, the Insane Hospital, as well as cured my rheumatism."

They visited the residences of Alderman T. H. Maults- by, and Mr. John D. Williams. In each case they sawed the blinds to bed room windows, making a sufficient space through which to thurst an arm and abstract anything within reach. At Mr. Maulsby's they were able to abstract his trousers, from which they took his pocketbook. The trousers and pocketbook with all its contents, save the money it contained, were found on the ground under the win dow this morning. The gang has in no case taken anything by which they might be connected with any robbery ; money is all they touch. CONVENTION DATES. Democratic State, at Greensboro, on July 16.

Close upon this information came rumors that a prom inent Philadelphia export house had sold a large block of spot cotton to European interests for immediate ship ment, thus causing the removal of hedges against it which have been out standing in the local market in Au gust. Buying for this account caused oiner August snores to sees cover as well; and soon this option was leading a general advance which was most marked in Summer deliveries For the balance of the day tha course of the market was quite steadily upward, thouga speculation was at times in clined to drag. Wall street appeared to be buying the. distant positions, taougn at all times new business was light. The statistical situation, as por trayed by the week'end figures, was stronger than at any previous time this season. The late phases of the market were indicative of an unsatis fled short interest.
