For some time there have been In timations that the steel trust was In gome way prepared to give up its tariff of seven dollars per ton and let steel rails be put upon the free list.

If the fruit trees bloom in late January and early February and a killing frost comes along, there is a chance for re-blooming in March and a good crop. If, however, the bloom ing process is delayed until near the ordinary time and a cold snap comes. It Is good-bye to the fruit crop.

The "Winston Sentinel explains that Mr. Lockhart, father of the bill, "repre sents Anson county in the General Assembly, a county which produces no tobacco, while several of the most ardent friends of the bill are also from counties that have no tobacco trade. It is understood that the rep resentatives of almost all counties in which tobacco Is produced or manu factured are opposed to the bilj." The Winston tobacco board of trade has held a meeting and formulated a strong protest against 'the passage of the bill. The measure is aimed specifically at the American .tobacco trust and its branches, but the trou ble seems to be that it would not only hurt the trust, but would injure all branches of the tobacco trade in this State, farmers, buyers and man ufacturers alike. It would seem that some way could be devised to protect the interests of an Industry upon which the prosperity of many North Carolina towns is dependant. instead of diminished. But if the Chicago association does not like the postal savings plan, why doesn't it try to help along the guar antee deposit plan?
