The friends and defenders of the trusts assert that they are simply the outgrowth of the conditions of the day and the progress of the age in which we lire, that we hare out grown the old go-slow methods and adopted the new which are better adapted to colossal enterprises and giant commercial strides. There may be something in this, but that does not prove that, in the long run, trusts don' t do more harm than good even if they do as much good as is claimed for than by their advocates and defenders. Bnt, it might be asked, do not the trusts force the condi tions oat of which it is said they grow ? One trnst organizes to got the advantage of similar enterprises which are not combined, bnt are working separately. The object of the trust is by employing larger capital, and more economic methods to pro duce more cheaply and therefore be able to sell more cheaply than the others. If the others find this to be. so then they fence, or go into the opposition trust, try to go alone or be strangled. This is the genesis of the trust idea, it applies to greater or less ex tent to all of them, and they now cover every line of business in this country. It would be next to impossible to find any industry, with the excep tion of farming, which is not trusted, and there is even talk of or ganizing farmers' trusts. There is nothing improbable in this for with every industry with which the farmers have anything to do con trolled by trusts they will be com pelled, when practicable, to form trusts in self defence. Conceding for the sake of argu ment, that under present conditions combinations, commonly called trusts, are necessary to do a profita ble business, it follows that trusts are good things for those who have their money in them, but it does not follow that they are good things for every one else or for the ' country. They are certainly not good things for the men who earn their living by daily labor of hand or head, for thousands of these men are thrown out of employment by the consoli dations and more economic methods and those who are retained have to take such wages as the trusts are willing to pay, for controlling cer tain industries they also control the labor employed in those industries. The workmen in them are depend ent upon the trusts for work and must therefore work for the wages they offer or go idle. They become monarch of the labor field and masters of their men, which is one of the most serious objection! to them. Trusts didn't build up the indus tries of this country or establish its commerce, or make it great in either. Both of these were done before Trusts were heard or thought of, and they were done by the en terprise and efforts of men who be gan at the bottom and climb ed until ; they reached the top in their separate callings. They started with small establishments, W VAtWU cm kucj BUUVOOUOU until eventually they built up a large business. There may have been combination in this, two or more men may have joined and worked together, but there was no strangling in this, no crushing' the weaker, but a straight, fair, manly competition that drew out the en ergies and exertions of all and gave the people the, best things for the least money, and not such things as they saw fit to give - them ior the most money. They were satisfied with a moderate profit, and were some from year to year. They were not striving for enormous profits and princely incomes, and there was not a man who worked in any of these establishments who might not cherish the hope of some day becoming the owner of an establish ment if he had brains, industry, en ergy and thrift. Some of the great est trust magnates of the day be gan in that way. It is said that the trusts have not destroyed the opportunities of the workman to rise and become his own master. Perhaps not, absolutely. There are some workmen in them who will rise, as Charles Schwab and others, but they will be few in num ber, and these of exceptional abili ties that will make their services val uable, and then they will not be their own masters, but still the em ployes of the trust. ' In the days be fore the trusts such a man would be the owner of plants, small at first, growing with time, until they em ployed hundreds instead of a few men. If it were only dollars that were to be considered, colossal fortunes for the few, scant wages for the many, with industrial development of re sources owned by trustB, it might be said that they are good things, but there is something more than dollars and trade expansion to be consid ered; there is the man, who amounts to infinitely more than the dollar, as good as that may be in its place. It was the man, the man with hopes, ambition and aspira tion, who made this country great, and the dollar should not be magni fined at the expense of the man, should not be magnified while the man is dwarfed. Of all this coun try's great resources, her men are the greatest. It is their industry which brings forth its resources and their skill which makes the success of the trusts possible. The trust magnates look upon their workmen as mere machines, unless, as we have remarked above, they show extraordinary ability or genius which makes them valuable beyond the mere matter of wages. It destroys the individuality of the workman and to some extent his self-respect, when he feels that he is looked upon as a machine and has little hope of ever being looked upon as anything more. There is no amount of dollars that go into trust coffers that will offset this. When the dollar is magnified and exalted as the main object of en deavor and the man dwarfed the country will and must pay the penalty. HOW TEE AMERICA WORK- MAff IS PROTECTED. In his swing around in New Eng land President Roosevelt is giving the working men a good deal of taffy talk. They should have be come accustomed to that by this time. Whenever there is an elec tion coming on the Republican lead ers always show a great interest in and respect for the working man, whose brain and .muscle have done so much for the country's develop ment and progress. They say that's one of the princi pal reasons why they have adopted the protective tariff policy and stick to it to protect the Am'erican workman from the "cheap pauper la bor of Europe." That has gulled a good many American workmen and may possibly still gull some of them, . but a little reflection and observa tion would soon show them what a fake this is, and how little it does to protect them from the "cheap pauper labor of Europe" and other countries, when that cheap labor is brought across the water, and put in competition with American labor right in the plants of the protected. French Canadians have practically driven American labor out of the New England cotton mills, to such an extent that some of the manufac turing towns up there have become to all intents and purposes Canadian towns, as far as the working popula tlon goes. New England cotton mills are tariff protected. The coal region in Pennsylvania, where the strike is now on, is full of this cheap imported labor. The in spector general of Pennsylvania, who visited the Shenandoah region to investigate the strike, is quoted as saying: "A more God-forsaken country I have never seen. Eighty five per cent, of the people are for eigners, and eight or ten thousand of tham ara anarchists. Theaa rjeo' pie are there simply because they are willing to work for lower wages than the miners who were there be fore them received. There is no tariff on anthracite coal, it is true, but it is indirectly protected by the tariff on soft coal, which might, if there was no tariff, come into competition with it. But there is no tariff on the cheap labor the coal barons employ. They im port as much of that as they have any use for. SPIRITS TURPENTINE. TWINKLINGS CURRENT COMMENT. Kinston Free Press: Twelve thousand hoes and three thousand cattle were listed in recently by the farmers of the county. . This is a pretty good showing about a thous and hogs and two hundred had of cattle in each township. GaBtonia Gazette: In adis turbance at the store of Mr. H. S. Bel lars Sunday morning- about 4 o'clock, a man by the name of Mike Eaker killed a younger man named Lee Lin gerfelt by striking him on the head with a stick of wood. Eager surrend ered and is now in Dallas jail. Durham Sun: The east-bound Southern train struck and killed an old negro man by the name of Johnson Monday morning; just beyond Univer sity station. Johnson was walking on the trestle at the tim?, when the train came in sight. The engineer blew his whistle a number of times, but the ne gro either could not or did not get out of the way in time to save himself. The engine struck him about the right side of the body and hurled, h m from the trestle with such great force that Johnson liyed only two or three min utes after being struck. Warrenton dispatch of Tues day in Rileigh Post: The independent meeting and Hill boom advertised so extensively to meet here to-day was a flat failure, similar to the first meet ing. But seven were present and they made no attempt to hold a meeting. A caucus was held in a door-way for a few moments and it is said that each man appointed the other a delegate to the Republican State convention. Mr. J. P. Leach, of Littleton, was the ac knowledged leader, but his crowd was so small as to completely discourage him. All left town sadder and, we hope, wiser men. These seven men who are attempting to pose as inde pendent voters are all rank Repub licans, and may be fooling some out side of old Warren, but not anyone within her borders. Statesville Landmark: Messrs. J. H. McLean and G. O. Moore, of Barrlnger township, who operated a threshing machine during the past harvesting season, threshed 6,500 bush els of wheat. 1,800 bushels of oats and 100 bushels of rye. Compared with last year they say the yield this year was only about one-third. Mr. Grier Oarrigan, who lived near Perth Church, Fallstown township, was run over by the Charlotte and Taylorsville southbound passenger train Saturday night near Litaker's crossing, about a mile north of Barium 8prings, on the A., T. & O. railroad, and died almost instantly. Carrtgan had been work ing at Mr. D. A. Morrison's saw mill near Troutman, Saturday evening he came to Statesville to do some trading and it la said started home that night apparently very much under the in fluence of liquor. It is supposed he lay down on the track at Litaker's crossing and went to aleep. He was killed about 11 o'clock. The engineer felt the engine bump when it passed over Carrigan'a body. This was the first the engineer knew of the accident. He stopped the train and backed to Carrigan's body, MOUNTAIN PARK HOTEL.

In welcoming the Cotton States Association of Commissioners of Ag riculture, at its annual meeting in Nashville, Tuesday, Governor Mc Millan made a timely and solid speech, which was full of practical sound sense, and suggestions of valne not only to the farmers, bnt to the people of the Sonth. One of these was that the worn, wasted or washed lands be put in timber. There should be no worn, wasted or washed lands in a section like this where it is so easy to pre vent wearing and wasting and wash ing, or to reclaim the worn, wasted and washed. But as we have such lands, and a vast area of them in the aggregate, the suggestion that they be put in timber is a good one. Properly protected from fires, and animals that destroy the young growth, these lands would in time put themselves in timber, but not so quickly as it conld be done by hand. An important consideration in this connection is what kind of timber these lands should be put in. There are a good many varieties from which to select, the selection for profit depending on location and other points. There are some kinds of trees which are rapid growers and make excellent railroad ties, which in the course of a few years would become valuable, as timber for ties is becoming scarce and costly compared with what it was some years ago before the draw for this purpose became so heavy. If they were planted in pecan, wal nut or shell-bark hickory, they would become a source of handsome revenue to the owner, both in the nuts and the timber, and would eventually pay as well if not better than any land cultivated in staple crops. But whether an income were derived from them or not, as land renovators and a protection from droughts, winds, &c, the trees planted on these lands would be of inestimable valne. The trusts are hard hit by the commercial congress at St. Paul, and every congress in the country is taking up the fight except that one whose duty it is. Do we select for political leaders the dullest . men among us and then give the majori ty to the dullest aggregation of all? Southern men have done their duty: what is the matter with the others? Jacksonville Times- Union, Dem. It cannot be denied that there is a suggestion of grim humor in the fact that Lewis Nixon, who is treasurer of the Democratic Con gressional Campaign Committee, which is making a fight against trusts, is at the head of a ship build ing trust capitalized at $25,000,000 and having authority to increase its. capitalization to $50,000,000. Mr. Nixon's resignation from the com mittee would seem to be in order. Savannah News, Dem. The beef trust declares that the distributing company about to be organized will save hundreds of thousands of dollars annually bv abolishing branch honses. If the public shares in the benefit of this arrangement it might be regarded with more favor. As it is, the beef trust's saving must be regarded as less important than the losses of the people who will be thrown out of business. Washington Star, Ind. Commenting on the assertion that 90 per cent of the increased cost of living goes to the farmers and market gardeners, theJChicago Chronicle says: "This is an overesti mate. Perhaps the producers get 30 or 40 per cent of the increased price paid for the necessaries of life. But it costs them all this and more for the increased price of the manu factured products which thev briv. the articles of daily household nse which they are compelled to procure from the trusts and protected mono polies."

Hot Springs, Aug. 26, 1902. Editor Stab: There has been a variety of amusements this week and the return to the Mountain Park Hotel of some of its patronr, who visited the hostelry earlirr in the season, is a significant item. Unlike so many mountain resorts where the young people find it dull, because of the scarcity of companions, the younger element here continues to swell in number, and, while the ball room is filled with gay dancers, one will be sure to see the parlor occupied by eager participants in some lively game and the rockers on the piazza suspici ously mated, it Is just the season for enjoyment; cool and comfortable. One very notable event occurred in the shape of a dinner served at Paint Rock. Many rode horseback, while the less venturesome drove down in an omnibus. Some of those included in the invitation were: Miss Bessie Baxter, Atlanta, Ga. ; Miss Lois Iong. Statesville, N. C; Miss Margarite Cannon and Miss Mary Ella Cannon, Concord, N. C. ; Miss Louise Jones, Charlotte, N. C. ; Miss Kate Satter- white. Miss Lucile Satterwhite. Nash ville, Tenn. ; Miss Helen White, Ox ford, N. C; Miss Bertha Biciga lupo, Chattanooga, Tenn.; Miss Mary Jewett, Brooklyn, N, Y.; Miss Hattie Elliott, Birmingham, Ala,; Miss Kate Garret, Hot Springs; Miss Alice Louise Fairchiid, Brooklyn; Mr. Torn Baxter, Julian Baxter, Atlanta, Ga.; Norvin Llnd heim, New York; Eugene Cannon, Concord, N. C. ; Albert Gardner, Yazoo City, Miss.; Hajrh Frazer, Georgetown, N. Oj N. W. Roberts, Hot Springs ; Dr. West, Cbattanooes. Tenn. ; Holt Laird, Haw River, C. ; E. N. Simons, Charleston, S. O, and Mr. Arthur Seldon, Baltimore, ML The affair was a delightfully pleaaant one and Mr. Arthur Cobb, the host, de serves great credit. Watermelon parties are the thing. Following the dancing or a card party the young people assemble . to enjoy an informal feast. From a musical point of view, the hotel is well pro vided; aside from the splendid orches tra which gives a concert every morn ing, there are several young women with excellent voices who are very obliging in their willingness to give pleasure to lovers of music, A euchre is to be given Thursday evening and a "shirt waist dance" Friday morning-. Saturday the usual weekly hop will occupy the best part of the evening. ; ' japaacn WaJtslnar'Hice,' ! Ampjag the many animals which ax adopted as pets there are nuirpjis bdd and peculiar creatures. Bnt cer tainly one of the oddest is the Japanese waltzing mouse. Mice have been brought under cultivation and have been so altered In appearance by the fancier that their original wild rela tives would fail to know them. Yet the fancy mouse, with .his wonderful markings, is a very ordinary creature compared with this waltzing member of the family. It is no doubt true that many a tale feangs by the tall of many an animal. The waltzing mouse probably has this In view, as bis main object in life appears to be to catch and investigate bis own tail, the contortions and gyra tions in which he Indulges during the process being decidedly unique. The mice sometimes perform in pairs, bnt they are different to ordinary dances In that they waltz head to toil, turn ing so quickly that it Is difficult to tell .where one begins and the other ends. The faculty of waltzing is hereditary, for the young mice of this . variety evince a tendency to Bpln as soon as they are old enough to move about. There are no special markings in the (waltzing mice, though they can be obtained in several different colors. BAaaiAo is Jnte.. Standard... Burlaps WESTERN 8MOEKD Hams s Bides m tsnoniaerBW .

One of the most remarkable books ever published is the "Lithographla Wlreeburgensis," written by a Wurz burg naturalist named Behringer In 1723. Probably very few copies are in existence, as the author destroyed all that he conld get possession of soon after the book appeared. He had been victimized by some practical jokers, who had made a great variety of artificial "fossils" and hidden them in a quarry, to which they then enticed the professor. Behr inger was overjoyed by bo rich a find and had no suspicion of the trick, al though many of the fossils were of a very grotesque character. He took his treasures home, made elaborate drawings of them and wrote minute description of each, as wel) as on exhaustive commentary ailed with ingenious and plausible theories. When he had published the book, the jokers confessed, and then, of course, the professor did bis utmost to sup press the work.

Suaoaita and Bea-nty. The love for beauty of a Samoan wo man sometimes degenerates into cruel ty. The very word for short stature is contemptuous, pu'u pn'u, and the un dersized man must perforce become a professional jester or lose all hold on society. A young man who had lost his arm in battle was heartlessly jeered by a group of laughing girls. I interfered in bis behalf.

Gotham, New York's alias, was orig inally applied to the Manhattan town in derision, doubtless because of some foolishness on the part of its people. .'The Merry Tales of the Mad Men of Otham was a collection of satirical tales -written to the fifteenth century by one Andrew Borde, a Carthusian monk. Gotham was a village near Not tingham, and the fame of the "Wise Men of Gotham" soon traveled the world over.

The cotton market opened easy, with prices three to ten points lower, this being a natu ral response to disappointing English market advices and to a forcecast for general rains to-day and to-morrow over the central and eastern sections of the belt. On the decline smaller longs sold out hurriedly and con siderable short cotton was - put out on the theory that the long-looked for "reaction" was indeed at hand. Wall street bulls appeared to be selling the Spring months and Europe offered the list in general. However, just when all were looking for a further sharp decline, the whole market swung around in no uncertain manner on a strong bull support and a quick scare of the more msiti shorts; prices shot up with remarkable speed. Several times the leading bears tried to stem the tide of buying and to turn the course of the market, but with positively no encouragement. Soon after Wall street started its aggres sive support reports began to reach the' ring that hot winds were prevailing over important areas of Texas and that temperatures were so high as to actually wither vegetation. Very bad reports from a number of districts of the central belt and from Georgia simply added to the Ecare of the shorts. On the late forenoon advance, tremendous trading was done and commission houses candled more orders than have been given by the speculative public in - months. As the day pro gressed the market met with several snarp set backs, under flurries of profit - taking, but .renewed de mand from the shorts and fresh ag gressive bull support quickly rushed prices back to top notches. The fright of the bears did not subside until Au gust had touched 6.79, October 8.50 and January 8.46. Several times the fluctuations of the market carried prices well up to these figures after de clines of ten to twelve points had occurred. Near the close the selling to secure profits by the commission element caused a . drag ging downward movement with the market finally barely steady and net one point lower to twelve points high er. August alone was down one point the rest of the list being substantially higher than at the close of yesterday. The total sales were estimated at 1,000.- opo bales the great bulk of which was October, December, January and March. " New Yobx, Aug. 27.
