BY WrXtiOAtf SU BBBHARD WILMINGTON. N. C. Thttbsday Mobotng. August 21. TEU3TS AaTD TARIFF REVISION The New York Press is a stalwart Republican organ, believes in pro tection, is opposed to tariff revision and don't like trnsts. It wants them smashed, or at least put un dftrsnfth restraint that they could not monopolise things and practice extortion upon the people. It pro fesses to believe that President Roosevelt with his "legal advisers: will find a way to do this, notwith tandinsr the opinions of some trust lawyers who do not think they can and that when they undertake it they will run up against a very tough proposition. A few days ago one ef these law yers propounded a number of ques tions in the New-York Sun. There was a score or more of these ques tions concluding with the remark that by the time the anti-trust people had fixed up a law that would hold and stand the test of the courtsjthey would find themselves entertaining at least -a!mild headache." This is what the Press refers to in the fol lowing extract, in which the opinion is so confidently expressed that the President and his "legal advisers" will find a way to put clamps on the trusts. It sajs: "President Roosevelt and his legal advisers will find it possible to frame a law that will not traverse the consti tution; that will not revolutionize the coarse of Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence. and that will not deprive any corpora tion or Individual of property rights. They will prepare a bill for enactment into statute law that will attempt to do none of those things which the 'trust lawyers pretend they are so fearful they will do, but that will pre vent monopolistic combinations from restraining trade and oppressing the consumer. And when the bill is pre pared and presented to Congress the people who will want to look out for Headaches will be those who amble in the way of that bill when it gets up steam on the legislative rails. Those who try to block that engine of popu lar protection will think a raging head ache is a pleasant sensation composed to the shock which they will get if tney try to throw it oil the track. When they get that bump they will be full of thoughts not of broken legal precedents or injured constitutional dogmas, but of lost political legs and rracturea partisan skulls." The Press assumes to know just how President Roosevelt proposes to solve the trust problem; it speaks with a strenuousness that possibly might indicate sincerity in the belief that some way will be found to do that thing. Assuming that it may be in earnest, the Washington Post comments upon this strenuous ut terance as follows: Are there not two or three bills of that kind already on file in the niceon- holes of the Judiciary Committees of Congress f Did not the House of Rep- raseawuTBs or me riliy-sixm UOn- gress pass a most carefully formed anti-trust bill by a practically unanimous vote i uianot that bill meet its in tended fate death in the Senatef Is there not a similar measure now before the same House committee which framed and reported thatf And since both the Fifty-sixth and Fifty-seventh uongresses have shown a carefully matured purpose not to enact legisla tion of that character, what reason Is mere to hope ror it in the remaining short session of the Fiftv-aeventht There are a few more questions that seem pertinent in this connection. For instance, does the array of legal talent ana jaaiciai lore which constitutes the judiciary committees of the two Houses need Executive re-enforcement 1 Will voluntary assistance from the Execu tive in such a matter be gratefully or even gracefully accepted by those committees? And, finally, is the Press quite sure mat the Jfresident contem plates the preparation of an anti trust oui i xi ne not more likely to limit hu activity in this matter to recommenda tion of appropriate action than to send bill to a committee? The former is the regular American way; the latter ooiacu oi mo English plan. -xne itepublican Organs Mffar I our trusts do. Thre are trusts in Eng land but they cannot practice extor- tion because England is a free trade country, her ports are open to the products of other oonntries, and competition prevents them from ex torting if they were disposed to do it. Tariff reduction might not harness all the trusts, as the Press says it would not, for there are some like the Oil Trust, for instance, and j the anthracite coal trust which are only indirectly affected by the tariff and might continue to exist if pro, tection were utterly destroyed, but it would bring down eight out of ten of them by forcing them to meet competition and . do something like square dealing with the people of this country as they do with the people of other oonntries. If President Roosevelt and his legal advisers want to restrain the trnsts they will favor tariff reduction as the first and most effective step. But with all their talk of restoring monopoly they haven't the slightest idea of doing that. A FOOLISH GOVERNOR. After Jthe assassination of Gov ernor Goebel, of Kentucky, ex Governor Taylor and others who were charged with complicity in the crime fled the State and took refuge in Indiana. Officers were sent with requisition papers to arrest and take them back to Kentucky for trial. The Governor of Indiana refused to honor the requisition of the Gov ernor of Kentucky on the ground that the accused could not have a fair trial in Kentucky, and ex-Gov; ernor Taylor is in Kentucky yet, as safe from arrest or trial as if he was at the North Pole. It is true there was a good deal of feeling against Taylor in Kentucky, for there were many who believed that he inspired, and was largely, if not altogether, responsible for the cold-blooded assassination of Goebel, and the Governor of Indiana being a Republican, as Taylor was, gave this as a reason why Taylor could not have a fair and impartial trial in Kentucky. That was his excuse and his justification for refusing to surrender Taylor to the Kentucky authorities. Now Governor Crane, of Massa chusetts, is following the example of the Indiana Governor without as plausible an excuse, for he is harbor ing a confessed negro criminal from this State and is protecting him on the ground that he would not get a fair trial if returned to this State and might be lynched. Whether Governor Crane really believes this or is permitting himself to be in fluenced by the outcry of the negro pholists who are clamoring against the negro's surrender to the authori ties of this State, even after assu rance has been given by -Governor Aycock that he will be protected from violence and given a fair trial, we do not know, but whether or not, Governor Crane is pursuing a very foolish course, for he is simply making Massachusetts a refuge for escaped criminals, who feeling that they will be safe there will naturally fly thither if they can. And then the people of Massachusetts will realize the fact that "chickens come home to roost" where they can roost in safety without fear of paying the penalty for crimes committed. OOIVd FOB. PRITCHARD. Senator Pritchard does not seem to stand well with the colored con tingent of his party, who are not always very choloe in the language with which they characterize him. The Republican county convention which met in Warrenton last Friday, resolved as follows on Jeter 0.: Whereas, the blaoc man by the very nature of the causes that led to his en- franchlsement, caused him with grati tude in his heart, and patriotic loyalty to the founders of the party to at all times work for and vote the Republi can ticket and for this cause their nronertv. their liberty and at times their lives have been In jeopardy. Whereas, the colored voters or North Carolina constitute 80 per cent, of the Republican vote of the State, and that in seventy of the ninety seven counties they constitute a ma jority of the Republican vote cast in those counties, and Whereas, by virtue of theae votes one J. O. Pritchard, the Judas Iteariot and the Benedict Arnold of the colored people of North Carolina, having by deceit and falsification been elevated to the United States Senate, Resolved 1. By the Republicans of Warren county in convention assem bled, that we will vote for no candi date for a seat in the next General Assembly, this year unless he or they are known to be against the return of J. O. Pritchard to the United States Senate. Resolved, 2. That we call upon all fair minded Republicans throughout the State to join us in dismounting the despoiler and disorganised of the Republican party of the State. Resolved. S. That we especially ap peal to all self-respecting colored men in every county In the State to use all honorable means to defeat the return to the United States Senate, J. C. Pritchard, of Madison county. Whether there were any white men in that convention we do not know but it is quite apparent from these resolutions that if there were they didn't amount to much, and that the colored brother ran the ma chine. There is unquestionably a strong opposition to Pritchard in his own party, an opposition not confined to the negroes by any means but shared by many white Republicans who have become tired of the rule of the revenue ring, which Pritohard con trols and runs for his own benefit, and some of whom would doubtless like to have the soft snap he has. They, with the assistance of the col ored contingent with which they are co-operating, evidently intend to make it warm for the statesman from Madison. SPIRITS TURPENTINE. THE SEPARATE WAISTS. Maj. Barbour, who had charge of the cleaning up business in Santiago, Cuba, says the way he did was to go round and tell people he wanted their places cleaned np in an hour. He carried a stout whip "with a hard handle." If they hesitated he would "drive right at them and knock them down. It was the only way to accomplish anything." That was rather a Barbourous method of persuasion. Murphy Democrat: The Ten nessee Copper Co., of Ducktown, has put in a copper rednery and are now turning out about twenty-five tons a day of refined copper. ; Goldsboro Argus: The , first bale of new cotton to make its appear ance on tbis market came in Tuesday morning from the river farm of Mr. M. J. Beat. The grade was strict mid dling and it weighed 460 pounds. It was purchased by Roy all & Borden at 8 cents per pound. ' McDotoell Democrat: Much has been said about the ''cabbage" snake, but until last night the writer never had seen one. He saw one then, through the courtesy of Mrs. B. A. Cheek. It was seven inches long and seen under a magnifying glass is a cu rious creation. It resembles a piece of cotton thread endowed with life. Henderson Gold Leaf: Mr. C. Williams last Saturday called atten tion to a bunch of tomatoes exhibited at W. H. W ester's store which were ahead of anything we havefseen so far. Taere were five on one stem the bunch weighing S pounds. They were raised by Mr. Junius Belvin near town. Clarkton Express : The sad news reaches us of the death of Mr. R. W. Tatum, of Turnbull, which oc curred at his home on the 12th. He was 71 yean of age and had been Erominent and useful citizen. The legister of deeds estimates that there is a falling off of about $25,000, value of property in Bladen this year as compared with last. Reidsville Review: The oldest horse In our county is a resident of Stoneville, owned by Dr. J. R. Smith. He bought him In 1872, at the age of 4 years. He has used him under the saddle for 12 years, as a driver 5 years, then turned him over to his wife as a family nag, and she drove him 10 J ears. His travel under saddle would ave gone around the earth three times if applied In that circle. - Winston Republican: In Mid dle Fork Township, this county, Mr Calvin Crews reports an exceptional occurance. He says that a rat has taken up with a cat and kittens in his barn and that both are living peacea bly together. C. A. Stone & Co., of Bethany, Davidson county have just completed their wheat threshing tour for 1902. They report a five week strip, 139 crops threshed and the yield 9,862 bushels. Last year the amount was fully doubled, their ma chine running until September. The crop this year is unusually short. J.W. Vickers, of North Wllkesboro is said to have two wives. Years ago he married and his first wife left him and he went west. For some eight years he heard nothing of her and believing her dead married a Miss Shore of Yad kin county. Two years later wife No. 1 turned up but she was not disposed to give trouble and the secret was kept. Duricg Wilkes Court, as a witness, the fact was betrayed. Judge 8baw ordered him under arrest and then re leased him on bond. Vickers then left home and will board with a neigh bor until he can secure a divorce and re-marry wife No. 2. rWINKLINOS.

'' While shirt waists pure and simple are so much worn it would seem almost unnecessary to fipeak of anything which might come under that heading, but there are ladles who cannot learn to foci roally well dressed in a shirt waist of whatever kind it may be For them we And u number df ex tremely pretty garments made in such a way as to suggest that they were never Intended to l;o called shirt waistsv Among thoso waists, then, the first choice Is the tan colored or natural t Bhade pongee and some of the lighter' 6ijk3. They are made in a manner suggestive of both the negligee"shirt waists and the trimmer dress corsage. These l:;sl mentioned are mostly all made with a snug boned lining and tlii' outside drawn tightly to the figure at the back with not more than two or four small plaits, and these "run out" at the distance of two Inches. The fronts are sometimes simply driwn down snugly to a point and the whole finished with a draped belt of the same material or n folded ribbon to match. The waist generally is trimmed with applications of lace. Fongee waists are quite the prettiest and most refined of all that I have seen. The back is as I have described, but the front is made in rather more of a moused effect than is seen in tne other kinds of silk, which are mostly figured. There are so many dainty de signs in self colored silk embroidery arranged along one side of the pongee In the piece that no one nee4 fail to have a rich and elegant waist if the embroidery is suitably applied. One favorite way Is to have the straight ed?e open from the joining of the shoulders down to the bottom of the waist This leaves the top open about six inches and brings it to a point at the bottom. There Is In this case a vest front of something different from the outside waist, and by this one may achieve actual triumphs. For instance, a green silk lining with a covering of handsome lace or, in fact, a lining of any preferred color can be used. But until one has seen the deliciously cool and tasteful effect of a tan waist with the green vest cov ered with lace one should not cry out against it. Green anyhow is so very fashionable this season that it is well worth one's while to have something CURRENT COMMENT. Houston, . Tex., had a gay time with rival railroad ticket brokers the other day. One of them start ed by putting the fair down to $8 to Chicago, $6 for St. Louis and $5 to Kansas City. Down the rates went until they got to 30 cents to Chi cago, 20 to St- Louis and 10 to Kansas City, when one of them fin ished up by offering tickets free. a about as much on the trust question I with a $5 box of cigars thrown in. oa fliAw A. 1.1 x 'im I 1 r rm , .. .. . xuvj U uu me lanu question.

About COO were sold raoicaiiy opposed to touching the I altogether, one half to Chicago tariff, fvigorously opposed to I the remainder divided between the trusts, while the Sun, which doesn't I other two burgs. give itself much concern about the tnitf . . 7L i wwiu. uutsHu t wane any passes made at the Trust. And the Sun. it- i m a ww u louaa win come nearer getting what it wants than the Press will in getting what it wants, that s assuming that it wants what it says it wants. As between restraining the trusts and reducing the tariff we are in clined to think it would be willing to let the trusts run along in their imperial career and let the tariff stand. The man or paper which advocates trust restriction and refuses to modify the protective tariff talks nonsense, if it talks its sentiments. No proposition has been offered for tariff reduction which was not based on the presumption that the high tariff fosters trusts if it does not generate them. There may be trusts that were not begotten by the protective tariff, but there is no trust that is not directly or indirect ly strengthened by the tariff. There might possibly be trusts if there was no high protective tariff, but they would not monopoliz e and wield the arbitrary power the tariff -protected trusts do. Without protec tion our trusts would be compelled to face the competition of trusts in other countries which would seek this market and force prices down. There are trusts in Russia, but Eus- giTes them tariff protection. xnere are trusts in Germany, but ermany gives them tariff nrnw tion. The trusts in both of these countries make their greatest profits wuut -xicu uome customers, just as Capt. Newman, who with his 16 year old son steamed out of New York harbor in a 38-foot kerosene launch -on July 9th. arrived at Portsmouth, England, on 14th inst. mighty glad to strike land. They had a rough voyage with some bad storms add sighted but few vessels in the 3,103 miles they cov ered. The- old. man lost thirty pounds in we&'ttV but the boy picked up. He says the last 90 miles were the longest he "ever ran in his life, but he wouldn't mind trying it again. It would probably require some tempting inducements. An Indiana judge has just de cided that a man who accosts an acquaintance and shakes and jerks him in such strenuous fashionfas to injure him must pay damages, and therefore he decided in favor of an old man who was jerked around by an able-bodied friend, who Bad a habit of that kind. On appeal the court was sustained, the hiVrmr court holding that a man who en joys that kind of amusement ought to pay for it. Those Pennsylvania farmers who are having their farms raided by the strikers ought to join the coal Consumers, who are being raided by the operators, in a sort of sym pathy . strike.

Make hay while the sun shines. We meairthis suggestion to be taken literally and figuratively. f It is very important to make every pound of hay you possibly can while the grass and the sunshine are at hand. There is no danger of getting too much hay. You will need all you can save. Your own stock can be kept much cheaper and in better condition if you have plenty of good hay. Grain is ex pensive. We, feed a great deal too much grain In the south. Stock will keep in better health and do more ,work if fed plenty of good hay and less grain. It- will live longer. We food more grain tfcan is used anywhere else. Hence w? Bay to every farmer, "Make hay while vhe sun shines." This is good advice whether you are owner or renter. In either case it Is the cheap est and best paying crop you can give attention to. Remember that to make good . bay the grass must be cut be fore it is mature. Dead grass Is not hay. liny Is grass cut before it is full grown and cured. Be sure to cut in time. Almost any grass will make valuable miy it it is cut early. We can grow our own supply. We can make it cheaper than we can buy it. Why, thou, continue to buy thousands of tons from the west? Southern Cul tivator. A Swindle Detected. Speaking of sharp practice, I heard a party telling of a trick played upon them by a large poultry company of "excellent repute." They purchased 300 duck eggs and before placing in the Incubator tested them. The result was startling, to say the .least. Over 100 of the eggs had dead ducklings In them! The seller did not calculate on the eggs being tested beforehand and placed old Incubator eggs in with the good ones. Had the party buying placed the eggs in machine and then tested on the eighth or tenth day he would have anticipated a good hatch on the strength of the dead ducklings, or, if experienced enough to see that they were dead, would have thought the eggs fertile, but possibly germs weak. This Is a clever trick and may be has been used to considerable ex tent Moral. Test all eggs bought before Betting. Zip in Poultry Monthly. WHOLESALE PRICES CURREIf COMMERCIAL.

This waist is made in pongee and also In black china silk. It is difficult to say which is the handsomer. The pongee in this instance had the vest of the same silk, but the lace over it was pure white. When the vest is of a suit able color, the lace is generally ecru or flax. HENRIETTE BOUSSEAU.

The cotton market opened firm and two to three points higher on active buying for both accounts led by prominent short interests and the Wall street bull ele ment. It was seen that Liverpool fully responded to the firmness in the local market for the, previous day and that the high temperatures In the western belt continued gen eral, leading to fresh expression of alarm from that quarter. The ord-rs from the South, ' Europe and spot cotton interests nearly all went to the long side and following the call the tendency of the market was quite steadily upward, on support from all branches of the trade. There was a healthy growth in public operations and the bull faction grave no sirn nf turning for profits. The private crop reports were very satisfactory as a general thing, and demand for spot cotton in the South was officially shown to be increasing. The re ceipts were larger, but had been discounted loa great degree." Later cables from Liverpool reflected changing (sentiment in that market where the bears for some time past have stubbornly resisted all efforts from this side to bring about a higher market. During the afternoon the market ruled firm in the absence of urgent selling pressure and on fair bull support, until just before the close when many of the smaller hold' ers made a quick turn to secure profits. This pressure with a falling-off in pub lic support resulted in a reaction of three to four points, with the close, however, steady and net unchanged to three points higher.
