THE HEADLIGHT. PUBLISH KI) EVERY THURSDAY. SUNSCUHTION $1.00 PER YEAR. A. KOSCOWEK, Editor and Proprietor. GoLnsnoRo, X. C, Dec. 19, 1901. THE SPECULVTIVE MIKKETS. The speculative markets of our country, always interesting, are more than usually interesting just now. In Wall street the prices of securities have been declining, while in the various cotton and grain markets throughout the country the prices of the great sta ples are advancing. On all these ex changes the activity is very great. It is said that Chicago is full of rich farmers who have hastened there from their homes to partici pate personally in speculation in grain, and that these outsiders have quite taken away the market fron; the professional operators. It may le perplexing to the uninitiated observer that there is pronounced enthusiasm in one spec ulative market and something re sembling depression in another. The coincidence of rising prices for cotton and grain and falling prices for stocks is, however, a normal one. If corn and wheat rise in value, it is usually because the supply of them is short, and this shortness of supply is not a good thing for the railroads whose busi ness it is to transport grain to mar ket. A short crop of corn, oats and similair grains means, not simply -that there will be less grain for the railroads to carry, but that sooner or later the quantity of livestock nourished by these "feeds" prod ucts will be diminished and less freight of this kind will otTer. True, the farmer may profit temporarily by the higher prices he obtains for the corn and livestock he is still able to sell, but in the long run the harvest failure will work evil to all the industries dependent upon the agricultural region in which it oc curs. Of course, a rise in the price of grain here, due not to a crop short age in this country, but to a short age in grain crops in other coun tries, is of unmixed advantage to us, and the advance is one that should promote rising prices for practically everything that is dealt in upon speculative exchanges. Such was the case notably in the great rise in wheat which took place in 1S9S, because of the Euro pean famine. Our market for raw cotton has been been very strong of late be cause it is now believed that the current crop is much shorter than supposed. The Government, esti mate, published last week, was for a crop of only 9,700,000 bales, whereas the estimates of Neill, Landauer, and other agents of for eign exporting houses here were for a much larger crop. The Gov ernment estimate of the cotton crop is now much more accurate than formerly. For the last few years the final estimate made in December has proved practically correct. The best-informed opinion in the cotton trade now seems in clined to support the Government estimate; hence higher prices for cotton are prevailing. The depression in Wall street cannot be said to be due wholly to the forces which are making for higher values in other markets. The great fall in the Amalgamated . shares has had much to do with it; but generally speaking, Wall strest prices are declining because of the conviction which seems to be spreading throughout the coun try that they are too high. The continued slump in copper stocks is the most depressing fea ture of the speculative situation. Considering the steadily advancing prices at which copper has been sold for years past it is evident that the existing embarassment is due to manipulation rather than legimate decline of prices. The pro duction of copper has no doubt been temporarily pushed beyond demand, but there is no such pros pective falling off in the use of the metal as to warrant the terrific hammering of copper stocks. The present perturbation, howeveiv will not be without its compensation if it shall lead to a slowing down in speculation. The latest defence of high pro tective tariffs is that they furnish the ground-work for the negotia tion of favorable commercial treat ies. But the insincerity of this plea lias been amply demonstrated in the United States. Having negotia ed reciprocal tariffs, as provided for in the Dingley act, the Protec tionists in the Senate refuse to rat ify them. This course of action is sure to bring on reprisals at the hands of other .nations that are made the victims of a confidence game and resentment on the part of home consumers who find them selves fleeced by Trusts and lesser tariff-bread monopolies. National Capital Matters. From Our Keguliir Corresjxmdeut . Washington, Dec. 17, 1901. The "handmaiden of protection," as Mr. Roosevelt has termed recip rocity, has been treated very cava lierly by Mr. Payne and his Ways aud Means Committee this week. "No compromise" has been the motto to which the Republican members of that committee have strictly adhered in framing their bill governing the Philippine tariff regulations. An earnest effort was made by Mr. Rus sell, of Connecticut, to secure some concessions looking to the establish ment of more extensive trade rela tions between the United States and the islands, but the foes of Cuban reciprecity feared that any conces sion to the Philippines would be used as a precedent in the contention for reciprocity with the former and their influence with the majority of the committee prevailed. Mr. Russell, who has a very level head on his shoulder, attached great importance to the representations of Secretary Root that the Philippine trade was being absorbed by coun tries other than the United States, notably Germany. and the British colonies. Realizing that the time would come when the people would find the burden of maintaining a large army in the islands irksome and would call upon his party to show the increased trade which was sup posed to compensate for the expense, he made an eloquent appeal for dis criminating duties, but his colleague had ears only for the siren voices of the Oxnard lobby and cloaking their refusal behind an alleged loyalty to the "open door policy," they declined to entertain his propositions. The bill, as presented by the Ways and Means Committee, provides for the application to Philippine com merce of the provisions of the Din gley bill and the Taft Commission bill, with the proviso that all the duties collected on Philippines goods imported into the United States shall be converted into the Philippine treasury. The measure also provides that until January, 1903, foreign ves sels may engage in commerce be tween the United States and the islands and that the same tonnage due will be exacted on ships carrj ing passengers and freight that are now collected from foreign vessels enter ing the United States. On Tuesday the House had the pleasure of listening to a lengthy speech from Representative Galusha A. Grow, ex-Speaker, on the subject of legislation for the Philippines, in which Mr. Grow spent upward of an hour in demonstrating to himself and the members of the Republican side of the chamber that Congress had power to legislate for the Philippines. Most of the Democrats were cut in the lobbies and cocjmittee rooms. In the Senate, Senator Lodge has been working faithfully to explain away all the objections which have been raised against the Hay-Paunce-forte treaty. He has not succeeded very well, but the objections are not of a particularly serious nature, and as practically all of the Senators are of the opinion that there is nothing more that Secretary Hay can do, they will ratify it as soon as they have had time to air their objections. The cost of the canal, as provided for by the appropriation carried by Senator Morgan's bill,is $180,000,000. Mr. Lodge's efforts to defend the treaty will prove a sinecure compar ed with the effort he will have to put forth to secure the ratification of any reciprocal treaty with Cuba. Mr. Roosevelt is counting on him to effect something in the nature of a conces sion for Cuba, but it- is doubtful if the "weighty reasons of morality and interest" to which Mr. Roose velt referred in his message will have much influence against the "Beet Sugar Convention" which is holding its meetings, no one knows where, in Washington. When it comes to logical argument the Senator has them all at his tongue's end. He can show that under the Spanish regime a tax of 80 mills on the pound barred Cuban sugar from the Spanish markets and precipitated the revolt which we in terfered to quell and that now that we have expelled Spain we propose and are taxing Cuban sugar 95 mills per pound to prevent its coming into the markets of the United States. He can further show that we are ex cluding Cuban sugar from American markets to protect an industry that does not produce over one-fourth of the sugar we consume and that we are still obliged to buy over 1,C00,000 tons in the markets of the world. The Senator and the President have sat up nights acquiring full posses sion of the facts, but there are times when other things thau facts talk. In the Senate on Thursday Mr. Allison, from the Committee on Ap propriation, favorably reported the concurrent resolution adopted by the House providing for a holiday recess from December 19 to January 6, 1902, and it was agreed to. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafneas is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian tube. When this tube gets in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire ly closed deafness is the result, and un less the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed forev er; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused bv ca tarrh)that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

James and Herman Youngst attempted to arrest an alleged bunco steerer, Sid Preacher, the latter opened fire with a shotgun. At the first fire he mortally wound ed James, who fell. He then fired at Youngst, knocking him down, and was on top of the him beaticg the officer when James raised himself from the gutter and fired three times, killing Preacher. James and Youngst died within the same moment. There is great excitement over the matter, as car nival week is in full blast and the town is crowded with people. Preacher was well known to the police and had been arrested fre quently. The police have been watch ing him closely during carnival week. With a shotgun on his shoulder he went to the police today and com plained that they were iutefering in his business. The police attempted to arrest him, wheu he opened fire on them. Several hundred people saw the duel. Tonight a warraut was sworn out by the deputy chief of police for J. 13. Brockman, Preacher's attorney, charging him with murder, and he has been jailed. It is charged by the police that the attorney advised Preacher to use a shotgun in case any attempt was made to arrest him. Late in the afternoon a boy with two shotguns and a large number of buckshot catridges, which he said he was carrying to Brockman's office, was arrested and the arms conffs cated. Sewed up Wound In his Heart. St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 17. Eli Dan iels, 25 years old, a patient at the City Hospital since Oct. 17, suffer ing from a knife wound in the heart. is convalescent and will be dischar ged this week. His recovery is re garded as remarkable. Dr. Nietert, who operated upon the patient, says in the whole range of medical history but twenty cases are recorded in which the victim has recovered from a stab wound in the heart. He says of the operation: "We made an incision at the up per part of the forth rib. From this point we cut downward about two and one half inches inward and then back to the sternum at its junction with the sixth rib. When the heart was exposed we took several stitch es in the wound, which was in the posterior portion of the heart. The man had a vigorous constitution which contributed materially to his recovery." Sear to Alter lie is Exposed. Bolivar, Tenn., Dec. 17. A year ago Dr. John W. Seymour, located at Pocahontas, this county. He was polished and possessing and soon worked into favor. He passed as a widower and even tually he became engaged toacharm ine young lady. Meantime rumors arose concern ing his history? The engagement was broken off and investigation, as it is declared, disclosed that Dr. Sey mour had a living wife, a resident of Madison county, Georgia. It is alleged he deserted her in Elbert county at the beginning of the Span ish war. He was confronted with these charges and threatened with a whip ping. He denied the statements un til futher evidence was produced, when he feigned sickness and went to his room. He remained there for several days and left secretly Fri- night. The present whereabouts of Dr. Seymour are unknown. Anarchist Kills an Editor. New York, Dec. 17. Francis McGinnis Iveagh, a newspaper writ er, was shot and fatally injured this morning, by Alexander Horr, an an archist. Iveagh, with his wife and child, rented an apartment over a shop where Horr published anarch ist literature. Last night Mrs. Horr dropped in to his rooms and she says Iveagh ask ed her for a kiss, in a jocular way. Some time later the newspaper man and his wife went for a waik. While they were gone Horr returned home. His wife told him what had happen ed. He locked the door against his tenants and when they returned home a quarrel ensued. Iveagh was shot twice and cannot recover. Horr was arrested. Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor ana cneenuiness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates tnn nftn if h urine scalds the flesh or if. whn th rhiH reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty cent and one dollar sizes.

Af ter enduring many hardships and privations, Mrs. Frank Sparks, of this city, has returned here from her bicycle trip across the continent to San Francisco. When Mrs. Sparks left here to commence her journey she weighed 140 pounds, and when she reached San Francisco, 103 days later, her weight had been reduced to less than 100 pounds. She wheeled 4,212 miles and thinks she walked over 2,000 mi les where it was not possible to ride her wheel. At Philadelphia Mrs. Sparks was joined by Mr. and Mrs. William Davis, of Dayton, Ohio, who accompanied her on her trip. From Philadelphia the party pas sed through Pennsylvania, Dela ware, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and California. Fourteen days were occupied in passing over the mountains of Maryland, when the opposite side could have been reached in 70 miles had the party not been misdirected. Lamp Chimney For Light Lunch. Greenback ville, Va. , Dec. 17. Samuel Ilallman, an employe of the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Balti more Railroad, in the presence of quite a number of citizens last night, ate a large-sized lamp chimney with as little ease as if he were eating crackers, stating that he had just come in from the country and wish ed to have an appetizer. Ilallman told the clerk that it was useless to wrap it up, ar he wished to eat it on the spot. Thinking it an excellent joke, the clerk gave him the chim ney free of charge, and then stood dumb with horror as Ilallman pro ceeded to eat it. Has Slept Since November. Peoria, 111., Dec. 17. On the morning of November 7 James A. Harris, C8 years old, went to sleep while seated in a chair at his home. Since that day he has not been con scious for more than half an hour at a time, aud then only on two occa sions. He seems today to be sinking. The physician in attendance says Mr. Harris can survive but a short time. His case has puzzled the lo cal physicians. UOLDSHORO MARKET REPORT. Corrected liy Baker A Eason.
