New York, August 6. The rolor
line has been drawn t un board the
United States receiving ship Colum
bia at the . ; Brooklyn j ; Navy. Yard.
The chief petty officers have w refused
to mess with a negro , who has just
been sworn in as chief carpenter's
mate . , They have ; . , asserted . their
unwillingness ,tof asssociate with- him
in any way, or to . receive or carry
out any orders that "may come to
the m through hiin in . the line oi duty.
Issac Miller; thd chief T carpenter's
mate, is a full-blooded negro, -He
has been in the navy:' many years
and has a good record!; i For a long
time prioi to his recent 'promotion,
which was for merit, fie ranked - as
a carpenter's mateofithe first class.
When Miller appeared at the chief
petty officers mesi on Wednesday
eight other members of the mess a-
rose and left the table when he sat
down. , Miller ate his dinner as if
nothing out of the ordinary, had hap-;
pened. Since then he has had ;'- no
company at his neals. He has been
allowed, when he reached the Stable
first, to eat alone. 1 and when others
preceded him he has ' waited until
they finished eating; v :
Capt. Snow' said Miller's rights
would be protected, , as the navy
makes no distinction as to color. : .

TRUST: .
The ricrchants of Kinstorx
Organize and Pledge
Themse Ives
Not To
Buy .
FROM THE TO
BACCO TRUST.
The merchants of Kinstoa
have organized and pledged
themselves not to buy any
tobacco manufactured by the
great tobacco trust, composed
of the American Tobacco Ca
and the Imperial Tobacco
Co. unless they advance the
price of tobacco beyond the
cost of production. 'They also
call upon all merchants in the
tobacco raising counties to do
likewise.
Whether this will amount
to anything there is considera
ble doubt, in as much as the
trust has bought up every
independent manufacturing
concern available or that
they feared. , There r remains
but few concerns jrom which
to buy the marufacturcd arti
cjc. Tlicn toj, vr doubt
very seriously if the demand
can Jbe supplied.
. The thing to dof is to
icut the acreage short next sea
son. 'Plant none whatever
it you can advantageously do
so."
j What to do with this year's
Icropis a matter that requires
serious thought- It should be
held awhile at least.
It is all rot about there be
ing an over supply of tobacco
from last cars crop. It i s
not so. The supply is less
than the demand with this
years crop included. The
trust is trying to fix the prices
from which they will obtain
die greatest profit- Nothing
more and nothing less.
Cut the acreage hort and
boss your own situation.
