A Defiant Monopoly.
For several days an invoHtiga
tion has boon in progress before
tue Interstate Commerce Lorn
mission, in New York, to ascer
tain what ground there is for the
charges mado by W m. K. Hearst,
that the anthracite combine and
the railroads under the manage
ment of President Ititor are a
combination for the purnoso of
monopolizing tno aninraciie coin
business, and regulating juices,
in the doing of which they prac
tico extortion, and arbitrarily
raisoor lower prices to suit them
solves.
The principal, and perhaps the
most important, witness so far
produced is l'resident liner or
the Reading Railroad. As a
witness he is not only remarkably
frank but decidedly defiant, lie
admitted in his testimony Wed
nesday that they had not only
run the price of coal up, but in
tended to run it up higher, to fa
a ton, and if the buyers would not
stand that then they would come
down in the price, which was
practically equivalent to ueclar
ing that they would run the prico
as high as the consumers will
stand.
Isn't it apparent on the faco
that they are enawed to do this
by controlling the principal
mines, (enough of them to control
the coal supply) and the railroads
which transport the coal to
market? They work together.
The coal companies in the com
bine fix the price of coal at the
mine and to the dealer and then
the railroad combine lixes the
charges for transportation, and
the so-called "independent
mines can't come in becauso the
coal combine and the railroad
combine work together and under
the same management, of course
look out for each other's -in
terests.
As a proof that the railroads
charge excessive rates for trans
portation it is asserted that coal
is hauled for less Irom the West
Virginia mines, a distance of 2X
miles, to Philadelphia than from
the anthracite mines less than
one-fourth that distance. If thut
isn't extortion what is?
The reason Mr. Baer gives for
the increase in price, (which he
says he will run up as high as
the market will stand) is the in
creased cost of production, but
that is a mere pretence, for there
is no evidence to show that if
there be any increase in cost of
production, it is anything in pro
portion to the increased price of
coal. But ho gave the whole
case away when he said they
had run the price up to $1.50 a
ton, intended to run it to $3.00,
and higher if the consumer would
stand it, and he exiected the so-
called "independent" mine man
agers to no the same thing, be
cause : would not be loois
enougi -. -ifll coal for $4.00 a
ton whe y could get $0.00 or
more.
But if the "independent"
miners undertook to build up
their trade by selling lower then
the cutting would begin and the
combine would take them by the
throat and force him out of the
market, and yet Mr. Baer has
the monumental cheek to say
that there is competition in the
coal business. Wilmington Star.
Just Missed Tbem.
For twenty year persons who
frequeut the Southern depot about
tbe time traius are doe have ex
pected daily to ace some one killed
at tbe crossing, yet by good luck,
combined in great degree with wise
management, it is seldom any one

This morning two young girls
working at the cigar factory weie
coming to work. A train was pate
ing over tbe crossing and they
waited for it to clear the street,
when they started over. A car was
being shifted on tbe adjoioiog track,
a trainman standing on tbe steps
ibe girls stepped on tbe track al
most in front of the moving car and
stopped stock still. Tbe msn on
tbe steps of the car saw them as
did tbe sUiftiog engineer and the
air brakes were applied, bat even
then tbe car could not be stopped
and the trainman, with rare presence
of mind, leaned over and shoved
tbe two, from tbe trsck, tbe steps of
tbe platform touching both of tbem.
it was about as close asbave as one
aees. A railway crossing is a bad
place and a track is a bad place to
stop on. Greensboro Record.
Tbe Salisbury Sun says : It is
reported bere and generally accepted
as a fact that foar engineers in the
employ of the Southern oo the main
line have resigned since tbe trscric
death of ogineer Charles Ivinnev
last wee.. It is said by some that
a large number of railroaders will
throw op their positions unites
greater precaution is takeo by tbe
Southern to insure tbeir safety.

The Farmers' Day.
This is the farmers'day . Every
thing that can be grown on the
farm is bringing high prices and
there is a market, especially in
the cotton milling communities
for everything that ho brings to
town. With cotton bringing 10
cents and pork, beef anil jioultry
correspondingly high, the farmer
ought to bo doing better than the
merchant and ho doubtless is in
a good many cases. His stock in
trade is by no means confined to
the articles namod, for he can
get good prices for his corn and
wheat, hay, fodder, grass and all
kinds of vegetables. Even the
modest turnip green, or salad,
sells readily at 10 cents a hand
ful, where a few years ago i
market basket full would go at
that price. The farmer with
poulty, butter and eggs can laugh
at the gold miner. A big crop of
spring chickens this year will
start a modest bank account. It
can ho said that the fanner, at
all events, is faring better than
tho manufacturer, for the talk of
the campaign orator that tho mill
man is making all the money is
simply hilk. Just tho reverse
Is true. With cotton selling at
it present high prico it is close
shaving for the cotton manufac
turer. Ho is now in a position
similar to that of the farmer when
he had to sell his cotton at the
cost of production. There is very
little money in cotton manufac
turing at the present time. Out-
sido of the iron and steel mills,
upon which a demand is made
for material to go into tho new
territory being developed, nearly
all classes of manufactures are
having a comparatively dull time,
but with farmers in a prosiwrous
condition the country is bound to
be prosperous. I he farming
prospect for the present j'enr is
one of the most encouraging on
record from the standpoint of the
state of tho market, for tho indi
cations are that generally good
prices will prevail. The rains
have retarded early spring work
but the farmers have started
much later in season and made
big crops and there is no reason
yet to predict a shortage this
year. The cotton mill settle
ments of Charlotte are of much
benefit to the Mecklenburg farm
er, as they give him a market
for everything that he can pro
duce and enable him to turn some
products for which there was
formerly no market into produc
tive channels. Charlotte affords
the farmer a big market Con
ditions have so changed in the
past few years that what he
needs to guard against just now
is underproduction. There is no
longer any danger of what was
formerly known as over produc
tion. With an eager market and
splendid facilities for reaching it,
the condition of the Mecklenburg
farmer must be regarded as ie-
culiarly fortunate. -CharlotUj Observer.
On Wasting' Time.
Time flies. This is a trite say
ing, we do not always realize
its truth, says the Milwaukee
Journal. A young man starts
out in life with high hopes and
strong ambition. Tho years
ahead of him look long years to
him. The day of his achievement
seems in a far distant future.
But the years pass, each succeed
ing one more swiftly than its pre
decessor. Soon he finds the time
becoming so short in which he
may accomplish his plans. In
work or pleasure changes come,
and the time has flown so fast
that account of it cannot be taken.
When one comes to middle life a
year is scarce begun before it is
gone. It is now that one begins
to be impressed with the truth,
time flies. Tbe old world, the
sun and moon and stars go on
evenly in their courses j their
pace is not changed. Yet how
different to the one who, instead
of seeing a summit to attain,
looks down rather than up, and
sees in the near distance the brink
of a dark river to which he is
rapidly ncaring.
iouih cannot too highly value
the years, the months, the days,
even the hours as they pass.
hach day is a stop toward age.
Do not waste time. Do not fritter
your days away in folly that is
worse than purioseiess. One
cannot be working or engaged
upon serious matters all the time.
Recreation and amusements have
their place. With many people
there are hours each day just
frittered away ; going for neither
work, study or amusement It
is an idle nooning between doing
things ; a drawling out the pro
cesses of work. Instead of doing
tilings heaitily, whether it be
study, work or play, they idle
life along. The old adage of
school day fame is good long

Miss Guess Attempted Suicide.
It was learned by 'phone here that
Miss May Guess, tbe only daughter
of Capt. David Guess, of Lemon
Springs, attempted to commit sui
cide the night before by drinking
laudar.uin. It seems that a yonng
man by the name of Doc Murdock,
had bieu paying her attention with
a view to marriage. The parents
of the young lady oKj icted to the
match. This coupled with a lover s
quarrel and indifference on the part
of young Murdock caused the young
ady to become despondent, bence
tbe rash act.
It was feared tor some time after
MifS Go ess took tbe drug that tbe
attempt to save her life would prove
unsuccessful, but in a few hours'
time she was pronounced out of
danger. When it was found that
she had drank laudanum ber parents
summooed young Murdock, wbo
watched faithfully at ber bedside
during the trying hours that follow
ed. Miss Guess is a very attractive
girl of about IS years: It is said
thst some time ago her parents sent
her away from home to prevent her
marrying Murdock. Sanford Ex

His Time Was Not Up.
A man of a mercenary spirit had
several sons, one of whom was on
the eve of his twenty-first birthday
The father had always boon a strict
disciplinarian, kocpiug his boys well
under paronUl charge, allowing
them few liberties and making them
work hard.
It was with a fueling of consider
able satisfaction that tho yonng man
rose on the morning of hit birthday
and begun to collect his personal
belongiuga preparatory to starting
out in tha world.
The farmer, seeing his son pack
ing bis trunk, which be rirfbtly
judged to be evidence of the early
loss of a good farm hand, stopped at
the door of the young man a room
and asked what he was going to do.
The boy very promptly reminded

Ip strsnge contrast to the fuss and
feathers attendant upon the Vandur
bilt wedding is the quiet and simple
marriago of William Randolph

in New York to Miss Millicent

hasn't aa much money as Reginald
V anderbilt, but he has onouzh and
to spare of tho filthy lucre to have
had all the tinkling cymbals and
sounding brass of the Vandcrbilt
function had he been so diepoe. d.
Happily, Mr. Hearst, wbilo p s-

and position necessary toindulgom
the fads and follies of the smart set,

Mid modotty which mark this man's

opposite of snobbery : his democracy
averts itself in his wedding as it
