Ashevills Citizen. Ma It is said that the reduction made in the price of its cigarettes by the American Tobaceo company is done for the pur pose of crushing out competition, and especially the factory recently started at Wilson, and it is our belief that this is correct. Hut what are j ou going to do about it? If a merchant or manufacturer wishes to sell his wares at or below cost, can the law step in and say that he shall not do it? Of course this is hard on the fellow with small capital, and from a moral point of view may be wrong, but the same principle is practiced by smaller business concerns every day and no notice is taken of it for the reason that its effect is not so far reaching. uurham Herald. All of which is true. The only remedy we know of is for the people to act with some patriotism and a little sense. It is to their interest in the long run to sus tain the independent factory. In this special Instance the big tobacco trust is trying to choke to death a small cigar ette factory at Wilson, which has secured a fine trade on "Carolina Bright," which is a better article than any put up for 5c by the trust. The dealers and the users should not go back ou the little fellow. If they do they make a little temporary gain but will be squeezed out of more than they gain after competition is killed. Stand by "Carolina ltrights." It is a good article and has a good name. Down with the "skull and cross bones" and "Battle Axe" of the piratical trust. Heat Radiation. .

Freddie, Uiplismally named Mary Freuciica, had a rich nuat in the city at least bo hhe hnd always heard and when the poor stepmother who had done her best to till the vucuot mother's place to her drifted into the grave and there was no (sheltering homo left her foot steps naturally turned to Granhury Dace. "I've always heard that Aunt Jaycox was very eccentric," thought Freddie, "ami perhaps that is the reason the hus never answered any of my letters or taken the slightest notice of me." As she walked along, looking wistfully in this direction and that, a second young girl, coming from the opposite point of the compass, also with a traveling hag and shawl over her arm, accosted her timidly: "Can you tell me where Granhury riace is?" she asked. Freddie stood still in amazement. "The very Question I was ahout to ask you," said she. "I am a stranger in the city," said the first young girl, coloring painfully. "And so am I." "And I was looking for an old lady called Jaycos. "So was I." said Freddie. "I urn her niece." "Well, thin grows stronger and stran- ci-ied Freddie. "So am I, hut I didn't know I had any cousins. Come, Ut us go together and look for the place. It can't be far off." Neither was it, a dreary looking house of red brick, and a sour looking old wo mnn who huhlilod unwillingly to answer the j.i!! ,-liiig summons of tho hell admit ted, i.ot without hesitation, that Mrs. Jaycox lived there. "My mistress don't see much company these i!ays," she said ncidly. "i'ut we are her relations," pleaded Clara. "We have come a long way to see her. The old woman showed them into a musty smelling room, where a gray par rot i la wed its way slowly up and down the tin sides of its cage, watching the unwonted visitors with blinking yellow eyes. A minute afterward the opposite door opened, and a crooked, elllike old woman stood before them, dressed in faded black silk, with a string of gold beads around her neck and her gray hair dressed In antique fashion on a cushion on the top of her head. Both girls arose at once. The old lady eyed them keenly. "Oh," said she, "you are my nieces. This." with a motion of her gold headed caae in the direction of the little country girl, "is Frederica, and that is Clara. You have come fortune hunting." "Aunt." hotly interrupted Clara, "you are mistaken. I want to earn my own living, and 1 thought you could help us to some way of being independent." "Oh!" said the old lady, with'n sinister grin. 1 l:at s it, ou And you?" turn Ing to Freddie. "I hove no home left, aunt," said Fred die simply. "I came to you because you are my father's sister." "And you thought I kept a free orphan asylum, eh?" sneered Mrs. Jaycox. "Well, you're here, and I can't very well send you away. You can stay all night, and I'll turn your cases over in my mind. Lois!" The sour looking servant appeared. "Show these young ladies to a room. Give 'em water and towels to remove the dust of travel." And this was all the welcome that the two young orphans received. The next morning, while OR. H. D. HARPER, DENTAL SURGEON, KINSTON, N. C.
