Standard Oil Is subsidizing churches
and universities with millions to bribe
submission to the benefits and bless
ings of the trusts.
American sewing machines cost less
In London, England, than in Leaven
worth. Kan., and American boots and
shoes are cheaper in Birmingham,
England, than in Boston, Mass.
NOT BY SHOUTING.
The Chicago Tribune says the octo
pus will never be killed by shouting.
Well, not by Republican shouting.
Atlanta Constitution.
Nor by Democratic shouting, nor by
any other shouting. It is the duty of
those who are opposed to trusts to say
definitely what will kill the trusts, and
advocate that thing. The great Demo
cratic dailies are wasting a good deal
of time and wind bawling at the trusts
and making faces at them. That does
not hurt the trusts, and never will
hurt them.
In combination with the Internation
al Navigation company. Standard Oil
has a fleet of 35 large steamships and
has more on the stocks. All are Eng
lish bottoms, and all are to conw in for
the lion's share under the Hanna
Payne shipping subsidy steal.
SUGAR TRUST.
Congressman Richardson purposes
cutting down the profits of the trust
to 4 per cent, and admitting sugar free
of duty from Puerto Rico, Cuba, and
the Hawaiian islands. With that ob
ject in view he has offered a resolution
in the house.
The Sugar trust pays an annual
profit of 12 per cent., an extremely high
di.vidend. but not extraordinary when
compared with other monoplies, but it
draws millions out of the pockets of
the people per annum. An increase of
one-tenth or one-eighth of a cent per
pound is not much to the individual
consumer, but in the aggregate it is
enormous and amounts to wholesale
robbery through the medium of a nec
essary of life. "There are other vul
tures on the trust roost besides the su
gar bird." says the New York Journal.
'Shoot them all at once."
COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
Our Raleigh correspondent said in
yesterday's paper that the state super
intendent of public instruction and Su
perintendent Moses of the Raleigh
public schools both favor compulsory
education, and added that such a law
in North Carolina is a long way off,
but that It will come in the course of
time. No doubt it will; that Is the ten
dency of modern civilization. But we
like it not; it smacks too much of the
government taking charge of the fam
ily. Charlotte Observer.
The Observer says that the tendency
of modern civilization is toward com
pulsory education, and then says, "But
we like it not." Isn't that a rather
queer position to take?
As to compulsory education's smack
ing of "the government taking charge
of the family," we cannot see it in that
light. The government must take meas
ures 10 protect Itself from ignorance
as well as from other dangers; and ig
norance is unquestionably a danger to
a government. The government in
vades the family in cases of infectious
diseases and in cases of cruelty to
children. It invades a family and re
moves a dangerous lunatic; invades
the family home in the interest of the
public health.
Then why should not the government
Invade the family and direct that the
children of school age shall be sent to
school, to the end that they shall have
the opportunity to become intelligent
citizens Have not the children the
rleht to tie wlui'.it.'d? No Darent has a
right to intejfere in any manner with
the right of a child to the best educa
tion It can get. Keeping children away
fmni si-hn.il i an interference with
their rights, and it is the duty of the
tr..vmm..rif tn inr in and say that
ihr Khiii h. n. such interference, not
even when the child who should be in
school or at play Is endangering limb
or life in a cotton mill or tobacco fac
tory.
The Standard Oil aggregation does
not stop at oil. The surplus wealth of
the concern is so great and its money
power so vast that it is able to combine
with the Rothschilds and control the
copper output of the world. The p-onis
of this combination last year from the
rise of six cents In the price of copper
are estimated at $25,000,000.
RAILROAD EARNINGS.
The gross earnings of 54 railroads for
the first week in February are reported
by the United States Investor at $7.-
434.241, against $6,39,518 for the corres
ponding week of 1899, being an increase
f l 038.723 for the one week. Since
January 1 these roads have earned $40,-
&7.189, an increase of $3,504,505 over the
S35.4S2.6S4 reported for the correspond
ing period of 1899.
A truly prosperous condition for the
railroads. But as that increase of $.,
uu kak ma nftid bv the people, who
are not making any more than they
did a year ago, how much more pros
perous are the people?
The report of the Illinois railway
commissioners shows that the gross
earnings of all railroads In the state
during 1S99 aggregated StOS.580,535. an
increase of $67,2,:05 over 1S98. Opera
ting expenses, $267,912,017. ' The per
centage of expense was 63.63, leaving
Sf.32 per cent, to go into the pockets of
the railroad trust magnates.
President Baldwin of the Long Isl
and railroad, in an address at Cooper
union. New York, takes pride in point
ing to the fact that engineers now get
$100 per month, against $60 some years
ago. If It were not for the Brother
hood of .Locomotive Engineers, wages
would still be $60. and all trust-made
necessaries of life are higher.
NIGHT IN THE
The Skin Becomes Clammy, the Blood Thickens and Parched
Lips Grow Dryer.
H. I. Cleveland
Herald.
in Chicago Times-
WIHoughby, who made several visits
to South Africa 60 odds years ago, in
one of his stories graphically describes
the appalling savagery and beauty of
an African night. Those who have
traveled at all know that the night
takes on a different aspect in differ
ent climes. The hue of the stars at
one point is not the color of the stars
at another. The moonlight which falls
upon Hondurian forests i3 not the
moonlight sweeping the cold waves of
Bering sea. The voice of the wind at
Hilo is not the voice of the wind about
the crags of Pike's Peak. The elements
have a language for every clime, and
In South Africa this tongue is weirdly
strange. Willoughby passed through
what is known as the Transvaal and
nto much of the country where Eng
lishman and Boer are now tugging at
each other's throats.
Tne temperature of the day had been
10o. The small water courses were dry.
A heavy, sometimes yellow and some
times gray, dust rose from the plain
land. The grasses were parched and
turned to powder when trod upon. No
cooling winds came from off the Dra
kenberg range. The flowers that in
moist weather seemed to set the lam
aflame hung their heads and closed
their petals. The wild beasts eithei
;d in their lairs or buried themselves
m infrequent mud wallows. The call
of a bird might be occasionally heard,
but it was a cry for water. Cattk
stumbled over the indistinct trails with
distended tongues and bloodshot eyes.
The unacclimated horse felt the beat
of hot air on his nostrils and refused
to move. He lay down in his tracks
and vultures circled about him. Here
and there in hollows or by the grasses
were the bones of adventurers or Boei
pioneers picked clean by the birds. A
deadly calm rested upon everything; a
noise would have been a relief. Thi;
was t"r. day which it was hoped nighi
would end with blessed coolness ano
sleep. It was but a little different day
from many through which the English
soldiers have passed since last Octo
ber. The night came. The sun went out
of sight like a ball of fire. The stars
came out, but their light was blurred.
The phenomenal atmospheric clearness
of the day was gone. A veil seemed to
have been stretched between the hav
ens and the watching men on earth.
The first sensation felt by the travel
ers was that of an Indescribable chill.
The skin became clammy, the blood,
which had been thick enough, thicken
ed more, and the parched lips grew
dryer. Strange aches attacked the
joints and a stiffness settled upon the
limbs. F-om the plainlarul rose a heavy
mist and from the sky came a some
thing that seemed like heavy dew. It
was cold and penetrating, going to the
very vitals of those who were seeking
sleep. The clothing was speedily sat
uiated and the wearers advanced to a

Mars Hill Enterprise: Senator
Thomas J. Murray, while in Raleigh
last week, secured $1200 for purchasing
mules for the Anson farm. The money

Spencer Blackburn writes the
Charlotte Observer denying the report
that he said in his Newton speech that
"North Carolina Democrats may take
warning from the fate of William Goe
bel." Raleigh News and Observer: A
young white man named Dobson is in
jail at, Albemarle on a charge of having
appropriated $160 which he found in
the road to his own use. He says he is
from Greenville, S. C.
Rutherfordton Press: President
Stearns of the Polk County Railroad
company has just come down from his
Ohio home and some new steps fur
thering the building of a road through
Polk county will probably be taken
soon.
The Charlotte News notes that
Miss Helen Gould sent a check for $250
to the family of the late Prof. McLau
ry of Charlotte, who was a schoolmate
of Jay Gould. Prof. McLaury had been
a witness for Gould in a blackmail
suit.
Another North Carolina editor is to
quit the ranks of bachelorhood. Clyde
Roark Hoey of the sprightly Shelby
Star is the lucky man. and Miss Bessie
Gardner is the lady of his choice. The
wedding will take place March 22 at
the Baptist church in Shelby.
Concord Standard: The nesrro,
James Capers, who last summer at
tempted an assault on a young girl at
Albemarle, was tried at this term of

the charge and was sentenced to the

Seaboard correspondence Roanoke
Chowan Times: The two years old
son of Mr. Henry Boyd, near Mt. Car
mel, met with a painful accident on
Friday. Being left alone In a room
with an open fire place his clothes
caught and before help could reach
him was seriously burned.
Hayesville Courier: Pink Johnson,
who was shot in the hip with a shot

scfon after the civil war, died at his
home near Atlanta. Ga.. about two
weeks ago, and left his estate, amount
ing to $20,000 to his nephew. Mr. John

Elkin special to Charlotte Observer:
Mr. Thomas Bizzell, aged IS years, a
student of Boonville academy, died at
that place last night after an illness of
only four days of pneumonia. His
home was in Bertie county, and his re
mains will be sent there this evening.
The young man was a slave to the cig
arette habit and his physician says
that his lungs were so badly affected
from this cause that nothing could be
done to arrest the course of the dis
ease that carried him off.
Raleigh Times-Visitor: When the
Southern railway train was pulling out
from Durham this morning, Mr. H. M.
Jordan, city editor of the Durham Sun
and Durham correspondent of the
News and Observer, attempted to jump
on the morning train, when his foot
slipped, he lost his hold on the car and
fell bodily between the moving cars.
Only the cool headedness of yardmaster
Adams saved Mr. Jordan from imme
diate death. He was standing close by
and as the newspaper man lost his
footing Mr. Adams made a grab at his
clothes in an effort to catch him and
in this way was enabled to pull Mr.
Jordan from under the train before his
body could be. crushed by the wheels.
It was in time to save his life, but not
in time to prevent painful and serious
injury. ,
Roanoke Chowan Times: The well
known "Polenta" farm. Situated on the
Roanoke river, six miles from Rich
Square and comprising - about 2200
acres, was sold last Monday by Sam
uel R. Buxton, esq., executor of the
late John W. Buxton, and was bought
by General Matt W. Ransom for $6000.
This is one of the most valuable stock
farms In the state. The net profits for
last year amounted to more than
$2500. General Ransom now owns
about 20.000 acres of arable land in
Northampton, besides his holdings in
Halifax. Muoh of his land is worth
from $25 to (50 per acre for farming
purposes. He is the largest cotton
farmer in the state. His cotton v crop
amounts to from 1200 to 2000 bales an
nually and he owns and - works over
200 horses and mules.
TRANSVAAL.
greater stage of misery than they had
been in before. The moon rose like a
great white wrath born from a sea of
skoops. Her face was watery, her out
lines indistinct. Her illumination was
but a faint imitation of her brilliancy
in northern climes. She made the
shades in the deep places darker, and
in the open she covered the way with e ,
deception that bewildered all wao tried i
to move. There was a silence for a
long time until after 9 o'clock. A i
camp fire had been started, but it'
burned feebly. The air was surcharg- j
ed with the germs of fever and chills. '
Moistness was upon everything.
Suddenly from far away in the dis- ,
tance camt the uncanny cry of a night
bird. This was taken up by a res- :
ponding cry, and then the beasts,
starting upon thir nocturnal prowls,
joined in. There was a screech and I
hoot and howl, until bedlam seemed to
have settled upon that very spot. The
mists grew heavier. The stars drew
farther away from the earth. The
moon now appared to be garbed in
long traling robes that curled about
iier, and then unfolded and spread out
until they covered all but their mis
tress. The grasses so recently dry
were now running with a sticky, pois
mous water. This dripped, too, from
the trees and ran down the trunks in
little rivulets. The dust on the trail
became mucky. One could put his fin
ser upon the hides of the tame animals
and gather up the moisture as if it
were cream. It came upon the lips
with unpleasant odor and foul taste.
When it reached the throat, that con
.racted as it does when diphtheria is
prevalent. The hands swelled and be
ame sore. At midnight the travelers
felt as if they were passing through
uch a bath as mortal had never ex
perienced before. Heavy blankets
ould not resist its influence. The tem
erature fell to 60 and then 50 degrees
f temperature in six hours. And still
110 sweet, cool wind came to relieve
ihe suffering. Nature in her primal
lavagery was at play.
By 3 o'clock in the morning the tem
perature was 45 above, a drop of 60 de
jrees in nine hours. The vapors were
now so thick that a knife could almost
have been used upon them. The trav
elers were reeking with wetness, while
the cattle moaned uneasily and con
stantly moved in the effort to get
warmth. The cries of the night ani
mals grew more noisy, for they were
on the last hunt for prey before the
cawn. This dawn came in its own good
time with wonderful flushings of the
( ast, mass upon mass of marvellous
color, one short inrush of a strong,
clearing wind, which swept the mists
away, and then behold, the sun. The
fame sun that had disappeared 12
hours before. A blazing, scorching sun.
Up went the temperature to 70, 80, 90,
a hundred degrees. On came the day,
with stifling heat, and the dust that
rose in clouds and fell upon everything.
In what seemed the twinkling of an
eye the excessive moisture of the night
was gone and the earth bared its
bosom for new torture.
GEN. THE0. F. DAVIDSON
FOR GOVERNOR
-KETCH OF THE STALWART DEM
IX 'RAT WHO WAS ENDORSED
BY BUNCOMBE CONVENTION.
Gen. Theodore F. Davidson of Ashe
ville, who was endorsed for the guber
natorial nomination by the Democrat
ic county convention Saturday,
was born in the county of
Haywood the 30th of March,
1845. On his father's side of the house
his ancestors were of the Scotch-Irish
stock, which settled in Mecklenburg
about 1740. His paternal grandmother
was a Vance, her father, David Vance,
being one of the earliest settlers ot
Buncombe county. His mother was a
Howell, of a family which came from
i-Jngland and settled in Cabarrus about
the middle of the ISth century.
The subject of this sketch was pre
pared for college by the late Col. Lee,
at Asheville. In 1S61 he received the
appointment to the Naval academy at
Annapolis, but before entering the war
began and he at once entered the army,
joining the 'Buncombe Rifles," the first
company raised in the trans-mountain
portion of the state. Afterwards he be
came a member of company C, Thirty
Ninth regiment, and was sergeant-major
of the regiment.
In 1S62 he was appointed and com
missioned aide-de-camp on the staff of
Brigadier-General R. B. Vance, and re
mained in the Army of the West until
the close of the war. Atthe close of
the war he returned to Asheville and
began the study of law under the late
Judge Bailey, and was admitted to the
bar ;n 1867. He practiced his profession
in the mountain circuit until elected
attorney-general in 1S84.
In 18.8 he was state senator from the
Fortieth district and was chairman of
the committee on corporations; re
elected in 1880, and served as chairman
of the committee on judiciary.
For three years he served as state di
rector of the Western North Carolina
railroad. He was one of the directors
of the first board for the Wrestern
North Carolina asylum at Morganton.
For nearly two years he was presid
ing Justice of the Inferior court of
I'.uncombe.
He was chairman of the Democratic
executive committee of Buncombe
county for eight years and was chair
man of the Democratic executive com
mittee of the Eighth congressional dis
trict six years.
REGISTRATION BY CARRIERS.
The New System is to be Established
in Asheville Soon.
Postmaster Rollins has received a
letter from Edward C. Madden, third
assistant postmaster-general, stating
that the new system of letter registra
tion by carriers will be established at
the Asheville office in a very short
time. A copy of the rules has also been
received, which states that only letters
can be registered and these must be
rtady in every respect when the car
1 ier calls. The exact amount of the
postage and registry fee must be paid
to the carrier. The carrier will give a
receipt for the letter and amount of
money paid. The domestic and foreign
registry fee is eight cents.

LEARNING LAW.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
"Why did you take that man's case?"
the fresh graduate of the law .school
asked, after his father, the old attor
ney, had bowed a client out of the of
fice. "There is no possibility that you
can win It for him. One glance at his
face shows that he is the briber and
all-round rascal he is accused of be
ing." "Is that so?" the old man replied.
"I'm sorry to hear it really sorry. I
wish I had known it."
"Why, you must have been able to
see for yourself if you are any judge
of character at alL"
"I am usually pretty good at su
things, but I must confess that I didn't
notice it in this case. In fact. 1 aian t
see his face at all."
"Didnt see his face?"
"No. He had a wallet in his hand
that took my eye. Now, you go to
work and copy off that brief, and after
this. If you want to learn the business,
watch me not the other fellow's face."
