Even those who mastered, their lessons and graduated with honor see now in the perspective that there was a fuller life in college than they attained unto. It would; be well if boys of this gene ration could experience, by the views of those who look back on the past and give, a message to the present college students. The.

It is not a common practice in the courts to assign leaders of the bar to defend persons charged with capital crimes and too poor to employ coun sel, however much it may be desired. A prominent New York lawyer, Sam uel Untermyer, .who has been assign ed to defend a penurious woman charged with murder, commends the action of the judge, and gives utter ance to some timely observations on the bar of New York city, having heard it charged that the criminal bar of that city is in a bad way. He says: "It flhe criminal bar of this city Is in a shocking condition we lawyers are to blame. It Is only with us. and principally In New York city, that the flower of the bar has been drawn away from the higher sphere of advocacy by the temptation of money, to become highly pafd clerks to financiers, and. too often, to assist them in 'keeping prayerfully within the law.' For this the press and pub lic must also bear their share of the responsibility, through the import ance and position which they give to the defense of private interests. As soon as we realize that the defense of life, liberty and reputation is more Important to the community than the mere championship of money inter ests, there will be a change for the better." The Hartford News Courant. com menting on Mr. L'ntermyer's state ments, remarks: 'Tsuch talk from a man who can and does command very large fees is wholesome and may be expected to be helpful in bringing about a better state of affairs. It has long been no torious that rich men. accused cf crime cauld keep their cases before the eou ts for a long time. That many poor men, especially in the greut cities, like New York and Chi cago, were convicted after trials In which t leir rights were inadequately defended has been evident to those who hae given the matter serious thought, Mr. Untermyer says that in every civilized country except our own lenders of the bar are proud to be selected to defend life, liberty and refutation. It is? much to his credit that he Is ready to do his part." MISSIONARY CONFERENCE. A Jmenile Society Organized for the Salisbury District. (Special to News and Observer.) Spencer, Oct. 1.

Liverpool's activity for one thing has been a big factor. It has seemed to show that Lornpeun spinners are nervous about the question of future supply. The bulls suck to it that the wor ld's consumption of American cot ton this ear is likely to exceed OOo.diMi bales. Liverpool's spot sales from day to day have been lL'.tUU) to in. oint bales a day. though on Friday there whs a sudden falling off after a long period of brisk buying. The stock at New York is stead. ly decreas ing. It is the smallest for years past. Big s-pot interests have been steadily buying. Janus A. Patten remains a bull, lie sent a sharp denial of a rumor ex tensively circulated last Wednesday, that he had sold out. The Brown-Hayne interests are still -supposed to be bullish. Some Now Orleans and Memphis operators are understood to have taken profits, but to be bulls still for a long pull. Manchester has sent very cheerful re ports and in this country things are gradually improving. It is remarked that hammering has produced only a temporary of act. As soon as this ceases the friends of the market as sert that it "advances naturally and easily. Rumnrs have been rife that considerable of the local stock has been sold to European spinners. Last Monday o.OOO bales were confirmed, supposed to have been taken by Liv erpool people no where. A. J. Bus ton. the English authority, is bullish on the situation. Certain large to bacco interests are supposed to hold similar opinions. On the other hand there has been some determined op position to a rise. A pool formed of two or three large operators is said to be working for lower prices on the ground that with the present large receipts and American spinners hold ing aloof, it is useless to expect a sustained advance at this time of the year. Hedge selling by the South continues and is bound to continue for some, time to come. Bears think that it is a ! least significant the re ceipts at the ports should- be so large. They think this fact means one of the two things of both, that is, that present pricps are so attractive for the planter that he wiir continue to sell, freely as long as they exist, or else the crop has been underestimat ed. Popular sentiment, however, still favors the bull side of the idea that the crop Is less than 11.000.000 bales and that the; consumption wijl be the largest ever known. Various crop reports just Issued by newspapers and private statisticians put the condition at 59.5 per cent to 82.9 percent. Liverpool cables that present prices do not check the con sumption. DUN AND COMPANY'S REVIEW Trade Return to Normal Condition- Re-t Trade In South for Seasons. (Bv the Associated Press.) New York. Oct. 1. R. G. Dun and Company's weekly review of trade to morrow will nay: The industrial and commercial situ ation, as a whole at the beginning of the last ouarter of he year. Is that of a full return to normal conditions. Thn Southern trade. It is reported, is better than for several seasons past. The chief flaw In the situation is to be found in the high prices which serve to check operations in some direction, and are p. conservative Influence. Business In steel rails is expanding. In addition to the demand for domes tic consumption, the leading producer has received a contract for 12.000 tons for export to Mexico. The rapid ad vance in i pig Iron prices has caused, many buyers to restrict their pur chases. Sharp advances were made in cotton goods and yarns during the week. Some large interests are moving to cover their early spring needs in staple fabrics. Encouragement Is being given to promoters! of a curtailment movement among cotton mills in order to avoid the tradv? coplications that must follow extended speculation in cotton. The foot wear market is very slow. Weekly Interior Cotton Towns. (By the Associated Press.) New York. Oct. 1. Mid dling.

A Rare Case. Mr. Samuel 1 Trogd. u. who has served ,s cl. rk lor eieliti en w ars, h is been alas h c or i e j, 1 1 o i . s. pains taking, stcconin-io.lating o!ti :al f all litigants and attorneys in lie curt, and goes out of otlire with the esteem and g od wM of the entire cuntty. He is in miu h Letter shape than most officials who hae quit nili. alter a long term of service, for he is inter ested in s.cra! financial nnderi.ik ings of importance, and which have been successful. Besides thU, several ea.rs ago. on account of Jus he ilth, he purchased a farm" on tin- Battle (round road, three miles from the city, built a modern residence, and moved out there. He has now one of th" best developed dairy farms in the State, with every modern equipment for taking (.are of stock and feed for the same. His land is cultivated by modern machinery; his out-buildings are all of the best type, his cows of the best strains, and his dairy is run on scientific sanitary principles. Mr. Trogden also Is interested in fruit farms in Surry county, Rockingham county, and owns nn apple orchard in the apple region of Virginia. He says It will take him six months at least to get around and give all these mat ters the attention they have beeen needing from him for some time, but which, owing to his official duties, it was impossible for him to give. Money in Apple Fanning. The apple growing industry prom ises yet to become the most product ive of all mountain land industries, and if followed with regard to lati tude and proper attention to the trees to become a great source of wealth. Some years ago John A. Young, who owns a large nursery farm near Greensboro, formed an apple growing company near Mount Airy In Surry county, and from his large supply of nursery stock about 20,000 apple trees were set out. These trees have been paying dividends on the Invest ment now for three years, and are Just beginning to show that they are getting old enough to make some showing as to what there is In apples. From the orchard near Mount Airy, known as the Coveland Orchard, all crops this year are excellent, especial ly the Winesaps and Magnum Bo nums. The Magnum Bonums are sim ply unrivalled for flavor, equalling in flavor the famed Albema,rle Pippin, and superior in beauty of appearance and shape. The Magnum Bonums are now bringing, delivered at the freight office at Mount Airy, $1.75 per bushel crate, while the Winesaps are fetching $1..15. The value of apple growing in west ern North Carolina can be seen at a glance when these prices are con sidered, as the result of proper care in the growing, handling and select ing the apples from the nursery to the freight package as to make them out of reach of the ordinary retail trade. Mr. Young says that he be lieves the whole of that part of North Carolina and Virginia will be grow ing apples as the chief money crop because the soil and climate are ad mirably adapted to a fine quality, fla vor and development of the lst types and the climate Is such there is never a complete failure on account of frost. The Coveland Orchard this season has yielded over, $8,000 in Magnum Bonums and Winesaps alone. A City Lighting Plant.

Notice has been received in Statesville from the Cor poration Commission that the petition of Statesville citizens against the Southern Railway Company tor- pas senger depot facilities here, is set for a hearing at Statesville next Tuesday at 10 o'clock. Everybody who has ever visited Statesville or knows any thing about the amount of business done by the Southern here, and the number of passengers handled,- knows that Statesville needs a new passen ger station, but the Southern, while Its officials admit that the new sta tion is needed, will seek to prevent the commission from ordering the new station. The facts can be produced to convince the commission that a new and modern station is a necessity, and Statesville people are expected to unite in the tight to be made. The Southern has shown that it will not build the station until forced to do so.' REVIVAL MEETING CLOSES. Meetings Conducted by Rev. Ray mond Browning a Decided Sue- COKS.
