Conneii To He KednccMl in Price The ' Trust Now Controls The Mar ketTin; Iteiiietfy. From News and Observer The news comes byway of Dir; ville that the A men car: Tobacco trust has purchased the big-g-osi tobacco concern in Japan, there by securing control of the Japan demand for brisrht tobacco as well as ths market for the manu fatured product. Ordinarily that transaction would have little in terest for the people of North Ca rolina, but in the 'light of expe rience the tobacco buyers and to bacco farmers know that if means another step in tbeir impoverish meut which the success of the Ci garette Trust involves. Six months ago there were three competitors for bright to bacco on the North Carolina mar ket the American Tobacco Com pany, the Continental Tobacco Company and buyers for foreign manufacturers. When the Con tinental was swallowed by the Trurst, there remained nocompe titiou except from foreign and small American buyers Now that the Japan concerns have b :en swa:lowed, th . Trust will fix its price for most of the bright yellow tobacco. This means that prices 'will go tfown, down down, is they did in certain grades when the . Ciga rtilta Trust was ti rst organized. When" the peopla complaiu, tiiese ''outlaws of commerce,' lolling in their easy chairs and! figuring up their profits, snap fingers in the faces of the people and say What areyou going to do 'about it?" "I hadn't been aroused against this Dtrust evil," said a leading citizen of Johnston county a few days ago, "until I drove through a section of .the country and saw 87 little tobacco barns erected by farmers in which to cure their crop, ana rerlectea that a single trust with headquarters in New York could fix the price of that tobacco, deprive the farmer of the price that he would receive if the competition of a dozen years ago could be restored. That re flection brought the trust evil home to me face to face." What are the ueople going to do about it? Will they vote to keep in power the party that gets its campaign fund from the trusts, or vo'e for men who Will hold their offices from the votersand uot from the trusts? i he day will come when this and every other trust, in the face of the indignatjon of an outraged people, .will beg to be allowed to resolve itself into independent concerns, and the trusts are has tening that day with their reck less disregard of the laws of iho land. The trusts will be destroy ed whenever the public officers prosecute them vigorously. The) will do this when the people quit electing the tools of trusts to en force the laws against the trusts. We are tired of the pessimism that lies supinely .down and says that the trusts cannot bo suppress ed. Speaking of this at the recent Anti-Trust banquet in St. Louis, Mr. Bryan said: "The Government would be guilty of gross neglecl if it permit- tad an individual to secure a mon opoly even without legislative as sistance, but it is still more culpa bio if, by legislative act, it furnish es the moans by wh'ch a monopo ly is secured. The corporation is the means now employed by those who seek to secure a monopoly Since the corporation is a ficti tious person, created by law, the, power' that creates can regulate, xestraiu or annihilate To say that the Government is impotent to prevent the crganizitiou ol trusts is to say that it li .s gall ed into existence a fictitious pet sou, and that the fictitious person created has become greater than ho creator "One of the difficulties which have been encountered in oppos ing trusts is that the trusts hides behind the Federal Constitution when attacted by State legislation, and shields itself behind its State charier when attacted in the F-d with the Federal Government If the extinguishment of the trusts if left to State legislation, the pub lic at large will be victimized at long as a single State will furnish a robber's roost where the epoiU collected in other States can be divided" The Size of it Raleigh Christian Advocate. The Craig Act was ratified by the Legislature on February 10. 1899. This act compels insur ance companies doing business in the State to become domestic corporations. The act was pass ed with a view to. removing cases of litigation connected with in surance companies from federal to State jurisdiction. We sup pose that noone who is acquaint ed wit.i affairs in the Slate can think otherwise. The insurance companies, however, seem to fear that they will be subject not only to excessive tvxation.but othar disadvantages which will practi cally militate against their sue cess. Quite a number of compa nies have aleadv become legally domesticated. But there are ome companies which sav through their representatives that th they will not do busi ness in the State after June 1st It is perfectly natural that these companies should protest and talk about quittiug the business in North Carolina. Yetitisalto gether unnatural that any num ber of companies should cease operation as long as other suc cessful companies remain, There may be a test case in the court. But after all shall have been done and said, theinsurance com pauies which ae evidently doing a good business in the State will probably be found after June 1st at the same old stand. TEACHERS' ASSEMBLY An Honest Man An honest man will not buy what he knows he cannot pay for; he will not borrow money when he can see no way to pay it back; if he cannot meet an obligation he will come forward in a manly way and tell 'his creditor the whole truth; he will not bide out when pay day comes, but will face the world and say: "I cannot now meet it butgive me time and I will; I will not run away from my debts." Such a man as that can always get credit, be he ever so poor. The business world is begin ning to placo more confidence in a good moral security than in tfie best of real estate and money col lateral. This puts a premium on honesty. A man's money may slip through his fingers, but if he be a man of honor he will always be willing to pay what he owes, and some day God's bounteous nand will be held out to him, he will not only be willing but ready After all, there is much truth in the old saying about honesty being the best policy, and in Pope's famous line: "An honest man's the nobles work of God." Let's be honest: we can't afforo to be otherwise. God intended that we be honest and true Ex. The Great Gathering at Morehead City.

The following from the Wil mington Star meV'ts ou r view ex actly: No trust was ever formed to benefit the public, and no trust was ever formed that didn't hurl the public more than it benefitted it. Trusts do not sicceed by competition; they depend for suc cess upon absorption or crush ing competition, which gives them monopoly. They are not simply combinations of capital. They are more than tint, they are monster combinations of cap ital to crush lesser combinations of capital. There is a difference and a vast difference, between trusts and combinations of capi tal, which the trust advocates do not consider, for they ciass all combinations of capital as trusts, when they are essentially differ ent. Simple combinations of capital compete with each other both in selling and in buying Trusts compete with nothing: they crush if they can and then hold monopoly and fix both their selling and their buying prices Eismarck's Iron Nerve. .'

N.fJ- Wonieii3Ioviiig Against Cigarettes From Wilmington Messenger In the great growth of the all- graspingj all devouring trusts. perhaps averaging three a day. et us cot lose sight of the greai octopus known as the cigarette trust. It has robbed perhaps the farmers in the Piedmont sec- ion of North Carolina of more than 1,500,000. It is sometimes estimated at $2,000,000. We art remined of the doings of this vih rust by an announcement inThe Charlotte News that a "numbei of good ladies of Charlotte will, n the rear future, begin a cru sade against cigarette smoking. There is already a law prohibit- ng the sale of cigarettes to boys under the age of 18, but it is not enforced. The crusade will be mainly for the purpose of bring- ng this law to the attention ol he authorities and if possible to curtail the consumption of the ci garette." What a blessed thing t would do for the suffering youth of North Carolina if the law could - f -11 11 T . oe eniorcea tnoroug'iiy it is really astonishing and alarming to fee how many small boys on he streets are seen puffing the poisonous cigarettes. Occasion ally one of these unfortunates will stop you and solicit a match We lately talked kindly to a little fellow warning him against the results. His reply was that he was already so addicted he cou'd not stop. The staunch enemy of the cigarette business and curse, The Danville .(Va ) Farrago, said in its last issue, and it is well worth copying and circulating: "And when the good ladies of Charlotte progress far enough with their work to show that good can be accomplished, it is hoped that good women elsewhere will take up the crusade, for God knows that the poisonous cigar ette is the one overshadowing evil of this fair land of ours. worse many times worse than whiskey with its debauchery, its vice and rags. 'Cigarettes claim youth as their victims -shackle reason be fore t,it is of age or has had a chance to mature- while whiskey. which is bad enough, but robs youth of food and clothing and leaves at least the hope that the intellect is not dethralled. Not so 'with the coffin nails called ci garettes they tear from the guardian's arms the infant child and debauch and deform, and pol lute it while it isjyetirresponsible before the law.

Charity and Children. We are glad to note that the es tablishment of the new Metho dist Orphanage is hailed with joy by everybody, including the news papers. It was not always thus. Public sentiment las undergone a wonderful change within the past fourteen years. The way is open and kindly words are spo ken and written everywhere for the men and women who are pro jecling the blessed enterprises. It is a matter of gratitude that, the obstacles have been leveled to the dust and the objectors to building a city of refuge for homeless little ones are shamed into silence. But who did it? Oh. everybody sees it now. . Tlic'Sprinp: Months. Are most likely to find your blood impure and lacking in the red cor puscles which enable it to carry nourishment to the nerves and oth er organs. Therefore you feel weak, tired and listless and are troubled with spring humors. Relief is giv en by Hood's Sarsaparilla which pu rifies, enriches and vitalizes -the blood. Hood's Pills cure billiousness. It is Wrestling Against Opposi tion That Makes Iant of Men. "Culturo and character come through "suffering," writes Rev. Newell Dwight Hillis, D. D , od the "Pains that Polish Perfec tion," in the June Ladies Home Journal. "Life is God's univer sity; happiness is the graduating point, but trouble and adversity are among the chosen teachers The world is built for joy, but man comes to his full estate through the tutelage of sorrow. If man washes his eyes in tears aud makes his garments white with blood, he, too, is promised the th rone and sceptor of the higher manhood. Suffering is a alchemist refining coarseness and transmuting bad into good, sel: ishness into sympathy. Steel it iron.plus fire Tools are stee plus gashing axes. Statues an marble plus the chisel, whosi every stroke makes sparks fiy. Manhood is nature plus the temp tations that chisel out chancer. Bronze doors of old cathedrals are all of beaten handiwork, and character is hammered out or. the anvil of adversity; wine comes through crushing of grapes, and joy is a fine spirit oft distilled from bruised affections. Sin and selfishness dig great furrows it. the face, so suffering is sent in to iron the lines out smooth again. Prom Paul to Livingston, what heroic leader hath worn soft rai ment? What Luther or Lincoln was reared in Kings' palaces? It is wrestling against opposing winds that works toughness intt trees and gianthood into men If the poet's viskn is ever fulfill ed and we judge the angels doing easy duty at home, W9 must first, as veterans of the old guard, achieve our scars and hold out our tattered flags in fierce battles upon a far off frontier. Opti mists always, let us not 'make be lieve' and play there are no troubles. One form of folly is al ways to drag the corpse into the banquet; another is to try and triumph over tragedies by avert ing our eyes." Trickery Don't Pay. There are many boys who start to learn a trade or business who have very little knowledge of themselves, or the true purpose of life. They mistake trickery and deceit for genius and talent. They are art to think, if, by adroitness and disregard of the truth, accasionally, they can makeothers think they are ac complishing considerable, they have done much to establish a reputation for smartness. Bet ter bear in mind one thing, boys. you may not appear to advance so rapidly at first as some others, if you are painstaking and accur ate about business, but it will not be long before the habit of c re and accuracy will become a prac tical matter in all your business life, nnd the satisfaction that will come to you from knowledge ol being able to master your bus iness will mora that pay you for the labor and iains you have ex pended. The habits we form in our youth are very apt to fix them selves upon us, and as we grow older they become fixed princi ples which .are very hard ty lay aside if indeed we can overcome f hem at all. If we do not master our habits they will master us. and when once that is the case we become laves of the worst class. No boy who has any hope to succeed can afford to be conquered by oven odo bad habit for eooner or later he will find himself the slave t ot only of one, but to many habits which will fix themselves upon him and rule him with a heavy hand.
