SCOTT SBOWNE, ffirmr IN THE COMING TBOST DEBATE New York, Sept 2. —That the Nat ional Conference on Trusts and Com binations which is to be held in Chica go in October will create unusual in terest already is apparent. Scores of letters from men prominent \n the various purpuits have been received by the National Civic Federation, un der whose auspices the Converence is to be held. Almost without exception the expressions of the writers are high ly commendatorv and the opinion that great good will result from the ex change of ideas to be general. Among those who have written in this vein are the Rev. Dr. Lyman Ab bott, D. D., editor of The Outlook; Samuel Compers, president .of the American Federation of Labor; Rich ard Watson Gilder, editor of The Cen tury; John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America; Judge Peter G. Grosscup of Chicago; Bishop Henry C. Potter; Charles G. Dawes, the Chicago banker; John M. Starl, president of the Farmers' Nat ional Congress and Nathan J. Bacliel der, grand master of the National Grarge. Dr. Abbott in his letter voices the sentiment which runs through all the communication when he says "This is a time when we need light; not heat." Nearly all the writers believe that the greatest good will come from the wide publicity which will be given the trust question as a result of open discus sion by the leaders of thought who will take part in the conference. "It seems to me fundamentally true" writes Dr. Addott, "that the interests of the railroads, the shippers and the general public are essentially one, and that it is of the utmost importance that men representing all these classes should get together, compare views and endeavor to come to some agreement as to the general principles by which these common interosts can be best sreved." Mr. Gilder believes that "This talk will help to bring calmness and cool ness to the public mind, and Heaven knows it needs them." Judge Grosscup says that it is full time that the corporations "which have grown up as developments of our busi ness life without much referendo to their relation to the people as institu tions of, and for, the people, be looked into as institutions of, and for, the people." Bishop Potter believes that by "bringing the whole subject of the ad ministration of corporations into the light we may be assisted by the best intelligence of the land" in clearing up a subject concerning which there is "so much ignorance and so much curious misapprehension." That the conference will be productive of much good in that it will allow all sides to meet and freely express their opinion on what he regards as one of the great est subjects the country has had to deal with, is the opinion of President Gompers. John Mitchell also sees much possible good in open and free discus sion. Mr. Dawes regards the calling of the conference at this time as a high ly useful piece of work. He believes that the industrial problems confront ing the country today demand consid eration by the best brains of the na tion. The questions to be discussed at the conference are declared by Presi dent Starl of the Farmers' Congress to be "the most important pressing for solution before our people today." Grand Master Baclielder believes it is time "for serious people to discuss the trust problem when President Roose velt and the law officers of the govern ment, whose duty it is to enforce the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, openly say that under it the business of the coun try cannot be done today without vio lating it."

C., Aug. 31—Several j important manufacturing industries here are continually enlarging their I output, their caiptal and quarters. They are of a kind not generally con ! sidered. One of the chief sources of i Greensboro's continual growth is from the fact of small plants being 1 started by men who understand their trade, developing tne worrt until it shows for itself, and then getting capi tal to enlarge and build up a big bus iness. Years ago, this was done in hardwood working, furniture,iron and other factories here, until now these are immense establishments, recog nized where such goods are sold. The three latest new forms of factory de velopment are on different lines, on a basis somewhat allied to the cotton milling business which from a small beginning ten years ago has reached gigantic proportions. The Hudson Overall Company commenced in a small second floor room over a store five years ago manufacturing overalls from blue denims. Today the Hudson Overall Company has a business of its 1 own, with a large force of workers, and recently had to get additional quarters and is now running another establishment in the Beville building on North Elm St., its product being i sold faster than it can manufacture it. Another industry which is soon to be put on a big basis of operations, is the Grensboro shirt waist and skirts manu facture This business was begun on a small scale here a year ago, and is to be extended into a big plant, the success of the modest venture having bee n thoroughly demonstrated by the profits and demand for the goods. The latest new species of industry is the re sult of an invention by Mr. W. E. Coch ran. general manager of the Blue Bell limb in the noted Boston grater. Mr. Cochran has invented an elastic leath er grater, the only leather being that which encircles the limb. The attach ed elastic, prevents the break which usually attends a sudden stretch of the limb in the onted Boston grater. Mr. Cochran is getting more orders for these soods than he can possibly fill with his present equipment, and soon will have to enlarged his plant to the capacityof three thousand pairs of garters per day. Dr. Howard Gardner has enlarged his drug store capacity by adding a rear extension to his building, thus giv ing him a depth of 140 feet and great ly increasing facalities for handling his large business. Mr. Frank Page has established a school of Pharmacy here in well ap pointed quarters, having a and lecture room attached. 'lue school now has twenty students, who get instruction theoretical and practi cal in prescription and pharmacy work. Mr. Page is connected with the Justice Drug Company, wholesalers of this city, and was formerly assistant ins tructor in the pharmaceutical depart ment of the state University.

World's Actor Richard Mansfield, 7he Genius of The Ameri can Stage } Died in Lon , don. Was Superb Inter -1 prefer of Shakspere. New London, Conn., Aug. 30. —Rich- r ard Mansfield,. the actor, died this - morning. [ Death was directly due to a disease "■ of the liver, aggravated by complica -1 tions. 1 Dr. Allen, who has been in charge since Mr. Mansfield's arrival here, states that death was not entirely un expected, although this fact had not J been made public. Biographical. Richard Mansfield was born in the island of Helgoland, May 24, 1875. His mother was Madame Rudersborlt Mansfield, the noted singer. He was educated in Germany and England. When seventeen he went to Boston where he worked as a clerk and stud ied painting. In 1875 he returned to England, and after several years of privation engaged at length with suc cess in comic opera. His first appear ance on the American stage ln 1882 in New York. In Jan. 1883 he won striking success as Baron Chivrial in "A Parisian Romance" at the Union Square Theatre. This was followed by 1 a number of modern and classic roles, which within ten years gained him !a leading place among American 1 actors. Among the plays in which his fame has been written are Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; Richard III; ißean Brammell; Arthur Dimsdale, in The Scarlet Letter; Shy Lock; Blunts chli, in Arms and The Man; Dick Dudgeon, in The Devil's Disciple; Cyrano de Bergerae; Henry V; Mon seiur Beaucuire; Brutus, in Julius Ceasar, Peer, in Peer Gynt—his last, and one of his greatest roles. Mansfield played once in Charlotte, several years ago, in Julius Caesar.. Thomas A. Edison, the great American inventor, says "Fully eighty per cent of the illness of mankind comes from eating improper food or too much food; people are inclined to over-in dulge themselves." This is whereindi gestion finds its beginning in nearly every case. The stomach can do just so much work and no more, and when you overload it, or when you eat the wrong kind of food, the digestive or gans cannot possibly do the work de manded of them. It is at such times that the stomach needs help; it de mands help, and warns you by head aches, belching, sour stomach, nausea and indigestion. You should attend to this at once by taking something that will actually do the work for the stom ach. Kodol will do this. It is a combi nation of natural digestants and vege table acids and contains the same juices found in a healthy stomach. It is pleasant to take. It digests what you eat. Sold by C. M.

Th-'u with relentless necessity, which required the speedy dispensation of justice, he had to return to the performance of his duty as a citizen. The case, in every detail, is one of the saddest and most shocking that lias ever touched the hearts of the peo ple of this city. Mr. Cheek, at the time of the accident, was accompanied by his wife and children, and was re turning from the country. As he turn ed his automobile into Roxboro street, one of the finest thoroughfares for auto cars in Durham, and while he was moving with moderate speed there suddenly ran out before him, about 30 feet ahead, the little Horner girl, followed by another smaller child.

Mr. Cheek stopped the machine 20 feet further on. The dying child was picked up and carried into her home by the side street, where she died 25 minutes later. When he realized the awful result of the accident Mr. Cheek, as already stated, completely collaps ed, and with broken heart was taken to his home. • Governor Glenn Very Busy. Raleigh, N.
