JUDGE JOIIX A. GIL.ME11 DAD.
Judge John A. Gilmer died at 'his
home in Greensboro after a linger
ing illness on March 17th.
Judge Gilmer was born in April,
1838. His father was Hon. John
. uriuner, one or tne ablest con
gressmen previous to the war and
who achieved a national reputation.
Judge Gilmer graduated with dis
tinction at Chapel Hill in 1858 and

(Company B, of the Twenty-seventh
North Carolina Infantry. On the
organization of that regiment he
was elected Major of the regiment,
and as such commanded it at the
battle of New Berne. In 1S63 he
was promoted to the colonelcy of
the regiment, and commanded it
until he was so severely wounded at
Bristow station as to incapacitate
him for further active dutv. He
served with conspicuous gallantry

He came to the bar in 1865, and
at once entered upon a lucrative
practice. On the death of Hon.

jonn iverr, judge or tne superior
court for that district, he was ap
pointed by Governor Jarvis Judge
of the Superior Court, and was sub
sequently twice elected to the same
position by the people. His old
wound, however, gave him pain, and
the long confinement on the bench

in the summer of 1889 he resigned
his commission and resumed the
practice of law.
THE WHISKY TRUST SEXl

iow mat tne courts nave sus

cases of the Sugar and Standard Oil
trusts, the Whisky Trust is the next

this trust have been indicted in the
United States District Court at Bos
ton. Thev were arraigned on Sat
urday, pleaded not guilty and March
30 was set for the trial to begin, the
the defendants being held in heavy
bail until that time.
The Sugar Trust case in New
York and the Standard Oil case in
Ohio were tried under State laws,
with a similar result in each case, a
decision that the trust agreement
was contrary both to law and the
public welfare. These cases were
fought stubbornly and vexatious
delays interposed before final awards
were made. The Whiskey Trust
case IS orougilt Uliaer tne provisions
of the Sherman anti-trust law, and
whatever the result, it is likely to be
some time before the case reaches
final adjudication in the Supreme
Court, to which it will doubtless be
carried as the business of that court
is, and has been for
three years in arrears,
danger however that

not be thoroughly tried.
According to this if it is possible
to get after the Tobacco Trust it
would do well to do so at once, in
order that the tobacco farmers would
not have to half starve more than
3 years before the heel of the despot
i 1 t ni i r
ine American looacco company
was taken from their necks. We
want to see the day rluwn when the
farmers of this country will have
an equal . shoving with that of the
millionaires. The farmers do the
work, but the monopolists touch the
button, an,l all they have made
drop into the big hole on Wall
