A OU.Y ITSRT FRCM TEXAS That ts a ahockinc statement which tomes to usifrom the oil fields of Texas. yt did rot know that the, Standard OU Company had rone Into the press atrsncy business as a matter of get I ting fre advertising after the manner I of the theatrical folk, but this story Irora Texas sounds very much like it. It is charged that the Standard -has roce to pumping salt water Into the cH wells of Its opponents In the Beau gaont country, which mixture destroys fm further usefulness of the salt wa ter for batbln or other purposes and perftuely Impairs the lubricating or . p thts merits of the oil of the opponents foresaid. i TTe- thought In the first place that XTezsa would not permit the Standard o own oil property or otherwise do , fcuainess la that State. When former lOoTernor Hvcc. our anti-trust apostle Kown la Texas was putting the "stock" isf hi wells on, the market, wr believe gjca of Its greatest merits was that his poncern was a vigorous, spouting op xocnt of the Standard. When Mr. jSuffer. our TJemocratic leader In Penn sylvania, an extensive oil magnate of his State, beran sto invest In Texas oil welU. It wis charged that he was the lnistrr xejrsecr.tatlve f the oil trust, 2rat thVs was vehemently denied. So If tti In: ft haa actually sucowled In reacting ths oU wells cf that section Jjy gotxigtundtr the State of Texas, it soes to siow how daagerous and un tftrmlning ibe trusts are. novever. If the Standard or any oth er erll gsnlaa has turned the salt rra trr 2ke Utatffce we!U of our anti-trust rrltoda there can be no punishment t provided by Texas or any other Vttcraenwealth to fit the crime. In the first yTace. to have done so is a direct . Arnault upon and insult to the peace, tStrnlty. material prosperity and hopes wf the future of the State itself, in that In thus running the oil recounts of o- t ! c-ajt t4Le lnrIred the ru! of Its own. end thus ssited the whole ieil Unite-- the uV:a belle-res evrt promoters have done and are still trying to do.

There ts oil in or under oM j North Carolina if our people who can neUher be bought nor pumped out by l trust will Just bore for it. While our Texas friends are thus accounting for the failure of their oil well to sustain the stock they pumped upon the public, let our people go to work and pump real active oil from the bowels of oia Harnett or Cumberland or Chatham or Moore or Montgomery. m lUpre.entaUvs of vcrious farmers' organizations in th- North and "West, representing n membership, it is claim ed, of ovir OWGd, met in Chicago a few Cays aro a view of a general imalraA-iajn ol all farmers' organlza-tltn-s t-raushoot the country and the org4n'-atSrn of a gigantic trust by which the hsndHag and sole of all pro ducts will be controlled and the sell ing: price regulated and fixed. r TL'cre is or can be no reason why the farmers should not organize In such manner: uui. 1111 iiicjr uu Abe aw . ..., in a w M ja. 19 T ( Just as much their privilege and duty mm if thnt nf TwntUe mmpm in otner : pursuits and no doubt as much benefit would accrue to them through such organization as has accrued to others through such unity of control. One of the results to follow this or ganization of, farmers, as given out by the promoters, is the elimination of the middle and icommission men the producers selling directly to the consumer.- Other trusts have been de nounced most severely for thus "throw ing men out of employment." If the farmers and consumers thus combine, however, they. will constitute such a force sis will make denunciation of them injudicious to say the least. There will then be nothing left for the poor downtrodden middle and commis sion men to do but become employes of the farmers' trust and thus work for others rather than themselves. The sensible Nash county delegate to the recent Rocky Mount meeting sounded the keynote of the situation: We ore not here to denounce trusts, as we Intend to form one ourselves. Let it be piled what It may, the farmers tof the State should organize and adort the same business methods for the refutation of their affairs that organizations In other lines have found necessary and advantageous. Some in dividuals may have to change their particular vocation or method of busl-m-i, but the good of the great body must be considered In preference to In dividuals, and what Is best for the great body of farmers must Inure to the advantage in some way of all. ' The amount required for the maintenance of the graded schools of Raleigh township last year was $26,700.00. In addition J3.600 of school fund was expended for or on school property, making the total school fuhd expended J3O.331.05. There is no need of any expenditure for br upon school property thte coming year, so far as has developed? therefore all th : f f various .... .. . . 1 . . sources will tt available for mainten ance. The tax of 20 cents on the 56,760,262 of real and personal property last year produced 513.520.60? A tax of 13 cents on the $8.260.000 the new tax valuation will produce 512,540.00 or only 59S0.C0 less , then was "produced last year by the tax rate of 20 cens. This sum however, will be more tfcan made up by the increase of the public school fund arising from the state's levy of IS ceits on the property, the Increase In this county being 54.549. The commissioners therefore acted wisely In reducing this special levy from 20 to 15 cents. The schools will not only have the full sum 53.C0C ex pended for school property last year, but the increase from the publ'c school fund which will largely exceed' the 5980 difference between the 20 and 15 cent rates. The available fund for the grad M schools will b several t!xcus.nd dol lars larger this than lae, year, not withstanding this cut In the rate. Ev ery cent should be left with the people not atsalatfly needed for the pi:bJlc use. This, from the always excellent Hen derson Odd Leaf, would mean a good deal of work, but It would also mean Success with a great big S; and con tentment alcng with It. Says the Gold Leaf: If every farmer will deliberately and Intelligently make out a list of ev- I erythlr.g in the animal, fowl, vegeta ble, grain, forage and other crops that he ran raise on his farm and then go over the list and determine to raise all the animals, fA tls, vegetables, grain nr 1 f.-mge crops that he can use hlm- !f or sell to advantage to his neigh - lKr ir market town.- he will do well. And then plant only so much tobacco ! or cot ton ns-is n-cessary to provide a full year's work, he will do the right ur ..r jo jar ns no is per- 1 ....

A paper of the Republican persua sion which Is of course opposed to the Watts law because It was intended to restrict the liquor business and lessen its evils has this to say: "The Watts law does not restrict the making of brandy, to incorporated towns, and as a consequence more apple and peach biandies are being made in this state this season than ever before. Those whiskey distilleries which have not moved to Incorporated towns, and doubled their' capacity, have gone Into brandy distilling. It is believed .that more Intoxicating liquors will be -made in the state this year, under the Watts law, than has been 'made in any one year in ten." 0 Well, now. If you "believe that -more Intoxicating liquors will be made In this State this year under the Watts law than has been mads In any one year in ten." what are you grumbling If It is liquor you are after nuuui. . and the Watts law furnishes it more fluently, your opposition to the law must be hypocritical. We know you want the liquor but haven't so much confidence in your faith In the Watts law. Would it not be fair to the tobacco growers for our friends of the press at each market' to publish along with reports of each day's sale the approxi mate percentage of primings or com mon grades of each sale? We note with pleasure, but as we expected that prices are Improving on the markets, but not such reference to the cause ot that improvement a3 the farmers are entitled to know. Are the grades that first sold so low selling at better prices now? Is the advanc e in prices due to the improvement in the stock of fered? What percentage of the latter better grades is being offered now compared with the present offerings and the whole crop? We Invite the attention of our con temporaries to this view of the matter. We know that all of them desire to contribute "0 much as possible to the welfare o iue farmers, and'the fullest, accurate information they can give will tend in this direction We are very sure that Capt. Duck ett. Chief Clerk of the Educational De partmentj Is as anxious to get the cor rect statistics concerning our educa tional interests as any of the rest of us, and will rejoice as much as any that those figures published as to illit eracy are Incorrect. There ought to be some law compell ing more prompt attention' to report ing such statistics. They are essential to an intelligent public judgment as well as administration of the public schools. It Is evident that old veterans are coming from every section of the state to attend the re-union to be had dur ing Fair week. We hope to see every one able to travel. It will do them Mod to meet each other, ar.d all others good to look uron those who were sol- rflers and true men In days that requlr- ed the best th:s.t rnn conM in lbt line. Whlle Labor Commissioner Earner Is securing statistics for Iiis fo: Incoming annual report we trust lie will give special attention to the number of em ployes In the various industrial enter prises ur.der 21 years of age who can not read a-vi write and the school facilities afforded.

We, have long since ceased to think of a priest, or a monk, or a jcbo or any other specimen of mankind as any- thing more or less than human.

FBIDAY. SBPTEMBEB has never been a monk. He has main tained . close relations all along io oi family., and kindred and has kept in sympathetic touch with uman kind. He knows much of creature trials and triumphs and has given his best years to service in the midst of the activities of men. He did this as an obscure priest and .the habit formed then re mained with him as his sphere .of influ ence expanded. Hence, the manner in which he received his sisters at the Vat ican is not so much a matter for com ment as it might have been if he had reached the papacy from some of the orders of monks or friars. His human affections are strong. There is a mighty warm spot in his .heart for those sisters. When they tried to kneel on approaching him, as their religious training assured them was the fitting and proper thing to do, he would not have it, but threw his arms about them and embraced them. When one of the sisters' remarked ,a little later in a tone almost suggestive of disap pointment that he looked well and probably had not needed them after all, he said: "I am always your Beppi." We do not think any less of the Pope because he has these strong human af fections and is much like other men. CGBBENCY RE TO KM A rrealtnt Rlehrqend Ba!str t Senator lntel Richmond, Va., Sept. 9, 1903. Hon. John W. Daniel, United States Senator: Dear Sir. Apprehension that there would not be enough money to move the crops this fall has been so great that it has been necessary for Secreta- . . v. . AM4nia1 world ry Snaw io nouiy me ui."-"' that he has 540,000,000 of government receipts so placed in 'the treasury that he can put it on deposit, with the na tional banks in case there should be a larger, demand for money to move the crops this fall than the banks can 'sup ply. For .this he is entitled to all praise. Is it not evident that our currency system sadly needs revision- when it requires aid every fall from the Treas ury Department to move the crops? If our system is not changed, where will the money come from hereafter should a future secretary of the treasury re fuse to furnish the necessary aid, or should the time come when there will be no available surplus in the treasury, which- must some day be the case, if the policy of some of our prominent law-makers prevails? Another evidence of the fallacy of our present system is that frequently dur ing the fall demand for money the rate of interest goes above twenty per cent, per annum, and when the demand is suDPlied it goes below two per cent. It is very desirable we should have a' rate of Interest that will fluctuate as little as possible, and I see no reason why a system could not be inaugurated by which tne rateij Of interest would rarely go below four per cent, or above six per cent, per annum. I would, therefore, respectfully sug gest the following modifications to the present, system: j The national banks, should be author ized to surrender one-fourth of thelf $3G0,C00,CC0 circulationTwIthdrawing the bonds deposited to secuse same, and is sue In its stead ten per . cent, of their total capital, surplus and undivided profits in new notes. ' The capital, surplus and . undivided profits of the natjonal banks now amounts to over 51.200.000,000, and this would therefore give us over 5120,000,000 of new currency, on which the govern ment should receive a tax of two per cent, per annum. Under this plan the amount of na-' tional bank notes in circulation would be increased by over 530,000,000. This currency would contract after the crops are moved, and would be reis sued when the money is needed to move the next crops. There should also be Issued an emer gency currency, equal to ten per cent, of the 51,200,000,000 capital, surplus and undivided profits of the national banks, upon which currency a tax should be charged as follows: Five per cent, per annum for the first ninety days, six percent, per annum for the next nine j ty days, and seven per cent. Ber annum ; the aRCy lssued by mtl0Ral bank9 I should be a first. lien on their assets. and should be guaranteed Iby the gov- exnrr.er.t. The banks should have the right to redeem or.relssue at will all cr.rr?'.:cy secured by deposits of gov ernment bonds, and also to redeem at will Ail ourreroy issued, secured by their assets; but they snould not be al lowed to reissue same until ninety days thereafter. I am of the opinion there cannot be a loss, but there will necessarily be a aery large profit to the government from this asset currency, the payment of which the government would guar antee. The Comptroller of. the Currency should have the authority to cause the redemption at his will of any or all of the emergency currency. Yours truly, 0 JOHN P. BRANCH. Lsantn? Tree ef San Aatenla (New Orleans Times-Democrat.) . "There Is a tree In Texas that I re gard In the same way that I look upon a hero or a martyr," said art entertain ing conversationalist at the St. Charles yesterday afternoon. "I can easily ex plain why I have such a peculiar feel ing for that tree, but, perhaps no one within' my hearing, if I -used a fog horn, would feel exactly as I do. To fr?e the tree I have in mind Is a heroic figure. While in San Antonio recently I passed from the Alamo,- made sacred by the blood of Crocket and Bowie and Bonham, to the place where this tree is located and when I heard its history recounted I recognized the same emo tions almost that had thrilled me as 1 wandered between tne . crumbling, worm-eaten walls of the Alamo.

Catching somewhat of the sadness that was voic ed In the melancholy murmuring of the foliage of the tree, and, observing that there was something of loneliness In the picture it presented, I asked an old resident for its history. He ran his fin gers through his hair thoughtfully and replied-that he didn't reckon the tree had any history much. 'It was here before ground was broke for the. build ing,' he said, 'I guess it's just where nature planted it. All the other plants around it were brought here. It is the only original tree of this little space. All Its companious have long since gone. But there is one peculiar point about the tree. There's a button on it. Don't know whether you've seen it or not, but it's been there since that tree was a sapling. Well, mebbe, not that long, but a long time, anyway. It's a button that you press for the drinks. It's on the other side of the tree from us. You will observe that the' tree leans this way. Well, for years people have been pushing that button, until the -tree is bent over this way. It's a wonder to me that tree has not been pushed clean on this side of the garden, but somehow it's stood pretty well, an so far as I know, has never budged an inch. But I'll tell you, it taKes a mighty good foothold to stand the shoving that tree's had, and somehow, being bent in its old age, I'm softer sorry for It, but the button's there for business, I reckon.'
