Some suggest tobacco, some corn, peas aod potatoes with pork for a money get ter.

A ECOND OLD MAN OP THE sba ; '" 136,000, 00d to The American Beef Trait II Rebates Prohibited by Law. ;;; ; "The foundation of the American Beef Trust that now ramtSee In so many directions and affect a to many millions la o many way! rest solely and square ly upon the railroad rebate, and upon nothing elee" aayi Charles X Russell In the first ait tele of his series on "The Greatest Trait In the World." Every body's Msgsxloe for February. "Discriminating rates and advantages for tbe big kouss against the Uitle, that was the source of this trait. It was so with the Standard Oil Company; tbe story of that great monopoly Is only re peated with more disastrous results.Tbe utterly illegal, Utterly indefensible, ut terly ubjust and anarchistic rebate-ls it not strange that having teen one Old M .n of the Sea rise from this source and be saddled Upon us, we allow the same cause to produce another ? "True, allrebates, ill special advan tages, all concessions, reductions, and variations from published tariff rates, all preferences of one; shipper over another, are condemned and forbidden in the In'er-S'ate Commerce Act of the United S ate ; no prohibition was ever written Into law more expressly and positively thtn this. In spite of all, the American Beef Trust from Us initial stage, at a 'gentlemen's agreement," re ceived rebates on all the railroads of the Unittd States tl receiving them today, and will continue to lecelve them foi many dayi to come, law or no law. Doea this suggest any reflections to your mind ? Here Is the law as rlear, ' emphatic as any law ever written, and here lithe plain fact of Its Incessant violation, and from that violation bat come the most opprea-tve an most ex acting tyranny of onr commerce. Proba bly tc this year of grace the railro ta of Ibis country will psy to the American Beef Trust $25,00 ,000 In the rebates that are prohibited by la; everybody that knows anything of the sub j act will know tbat they are paid. It will r ppea on the books of tbe vamus railroad companies tbat they are paid; and there will not be raised one hand anywhere to enforce the law and stop the pay ments." ONSLOW COUNTY FARMERS. Prosperous And Able to Hold Cotton Have Their Home Supplies Made. Your correspondent spent ten rlayi lu this month visiting In Onilow county, wter be found moat of last years crop of cotton stored away for higher prices. Th y told us they could hold the cotton as well as to sell tt, a ibey would only have th trouble to make another crop and be no better off by the transaction. They are generally well to do farmer in that section. They do the one thing all farmeis should first do, make first all tbe suppliel necessary for the next years support of the farm. Tbat one feature alone will make an Independent fsrmer and a prosperrni community. The don't know what a mortgage Is, but few have ever takes or given one, tbey have credit fcr all they will buy at thefnelgh boring stone. While on New river last week we bad th pleasure of visiting tbe farm of Mr. J W Granger, of Kinston, who has pur chased the old Davit W Hlmmons place from Mr Truslell of N. Y. Mr. John Smith Is manager, who was for many yeats with Mr. J L Rben and later with Mr. Bptnct r his successor, 'and Is well gratified forth poeltlon he is holding. They hay mad many , needed changes and much Improvement to the property. They wUl plant this yser 300 acre in truck, peav beans, cucumbers and pota toes; In a few years we th'nk they will have a model truck farm and one tba will yield a bountiful ratu n for the In vest mens, as the land Is natuially adap ted to truck and responds abundantly to fertilisers. Wall in Jacksonville lest week we had the privilege of examining tba new court hous which will becompleted and turaed over to the commissioner in a few week. It Is quite credit to th county and fills a long felt want. It Is con vmleatly arranged in evry del ail. the comfort of jurors being one fea ore worth not c.

A citizen remarked Wednesday that if there was no other complaint could be brought agains the Howland Im provement uampany, the condition of South Front Street was sufficient cause for one. That street from Hancock up along the line of railroad track is a dis grace to the city, Drays have to drive a good part of the way in the same ruts, there is scarcely any drainage.and altogether it might be said to be as bad or worse than some old lumber road in the woods. It was understood that the railroad was to keep up the street for right of way over it. Mt.
