New York, Sept. 20.—Newspaper has gone lip a quarter of a cent a pound within the last three weeks. The news papers of New York city, according to an official of the company, which sup plies all but two of the papers printed in this city, use 400 tons of paper daily at a cost of two cents a pound. The recent sharp advance means $2,000 a day more •to the newspapers, or $730,000 a year over the price which has heretofore oh tained. The cost of the consumption is now SIB,OOO a day. The tendency is to raise the price still higher. The advance is due partly to the drought of last sum mer, which seriously impaired the water power of the paper mills. Book paper has also gone up a quarter of a cent a pound, and letter paper from % of a cent to one cent a pound. The price of shoe leather has gone up from 2 1 /> to .» per cent, within the last week, owing to the scarcity of cowhide materials. Shoe manufacturers have signed contracts with wholesale and re tail shoe houses, which will not expire for months to come and so the patrons of retail houses will not feel the advance until December. In the meantime the manufacturers who have bound them selves by contract tvill he the sufferers from the rise in price. A sharper ad vance has been made in the price of crude sole leather. For two months the cost has been steadily going up, and yes terday it had advanced <i cents per pound above the market price paid in August. Still higher prices are looked for by manufacturers. The increased cost is due to the scarcity of cattle as compared with the demand. HEARING OF CARTER CASE. It Has Been Arranged to Have it Next Wednesday.

SUMMERELL THE DOVE, THEIR SONG Yet These Witnesses Later Belie Themselves. CLOVEN HOOFS PEEP OUT CRUELTIES UNDER CROSS EX AMINATIONS FLASH-LIGHT. FORMIDABLE LASHES ARE ELOQUENT Dr. Furgeson Given a Good Character by Sev eral Witnesses. After Eximining Hal ifax Farm Today the Committee Will Return to Raleigh. Halifax, N. (',, Sept. 20. —(Special.)— Examination of witnesses by the Peni tentiary' Investigating OimmnJttee began this morning at ten o’clock and contin ued until six o’clock this afternoon. During the morning session, eight wit nesses, summoned by Dr. 11. B. Fur gesou, attending physician at Northamp ton farm, were put on the stand. Their evidence was in reply to charges made against him, in the Raleigh Post on September 7th, in which lie and Sum mered were declared to lie equally guilty and if one was discharged the other ought to tie also. Touching this mud other charges in the same article the following witnesses were put on the stand by Dr. Furgeson: W. A. Salter, overseer: W. B. White head. guard; E. C. Shearlu, supervisor Halifax farm; E. L. Summerell, siqter visor Northampton farm; John W. Bran ham, corporal of guard; Geo. P. Bur gw.vu, farmer, and E. L. Travis, attor ney. All of these testified as to Dr. Furgeson’s ability to deal with diseases prevalent in this section and to the fact that lie has always been at his post of duty as attending physician, and that nothing to (lie contrary has- ever Ifeen charged, except in the article complained of. At the afternoon session of the com mittee the witnesses summoned by Sum merell in his own behalf were put on the stand. They wen* also eight in number as follows: Bold. Ransom, farmer; W. A. Wil cox, who buys employes’ accounts at discount; W. A. Sater, overst'er; C. O. Bryant, steward); Geo. P. Burgwyn, farmer; James S. Grant, SummereH's brother-in-law; J. W. Branham, corpo ral of guard; Dr. 11. B. Furgeson, phy sician on Northampton farm. Also Robt. .T. Day, brother to Siqierintendent Day, was examined as to the maiuage mi'ii of Halifax farm under Peter Hughes. He testified in regard to cer tain improper sales of crops. f All of Summeroll's witnesses gave him it good character, and none of them had heard until recently any Intimation of cruelty on his farm. Most of them positively denied it; but on cross-examination, all of them told of various instances in which con victs had been whipped. Some of them very severely. So strong and unequivocal was the testimony of some of these men, espe cially those employed on Summerell’s farm, that when tin* committee ad journed one felt like surmamlng the noted supervisor “The Dove.” Sun,morel] s brother-in-law, .Tames Grant, had never heard any charge of cruelty. He had been on the farm very frequently, and In* had never seen any thing in any manner resembling cruelty. “You’ve seen him whip convicts now and then, haven’t you,” he was asked. ”Oh yes, sir.” “They don’t pay much attention to tin* whipping of a negro in this county, do they?” “No sir.” The lash used by Summerell, also tin one said to have been used by Captain Rhein, were shown in court, and the committee took Charge of them. They are most formidable instruments of pun ishment. Rhein's is nineteen inches long and one and a quarter inches wide, with a handle nine inches long. SummereH's is twenty-eight inches long and two to two and three-quarter inches wide with a handle nine and a half inches long. The first twelve inches of Summer oJl s lash is double sole leather and the last sixteen inches is a single thickness. Rhein s lash is a piece of old' hugg.v trace. Summerell and three or four more of his witnesses will be examined tomor row. beginning at nine o’clock. Summerell and Dr. Furgeson are rep resented by Captain' R. B. Peebles. This is the first turn* I’ve ever known a witness to have a lawyer. Examination of thi“ remaining witnesses will consume only two or three hours tomorrow. The committee will then examine Halifax farm and drive to Weldon, where they will tiike tin* Atlanta Special for Ral eigh. FRED L. MERRITT. ON E OF AN DR EE’S ANCHORS. Stockholm.
