THE PEANUT TRUST.

The last number Of the Nor h Caro-
1t contains Judge CIark's admirable
article and much other important mat
ter for every grover of peanuts.
Recently Commissioner Robinson ad
dressed letters to a Norfolk gentle
man asking for information about
building a peanut factory" The
party answered the questions, which
in substance, was that nothing is re
quired to equip a factory" except first,
a four story building, steam or water
power, cylinders, separating fans end
less carriers, shutes and shelters. He
says any mechanic UbO knOUs hOw
(italics oursD can put the machinery
together. The cost will be from 81. 500
to $4,000, according to capacity, the
smaller being large enough to work up
many thousands of bushels.
The person answering those ques-
tions claims that he has not been en-
gagged in cleaning peanuts, but knows
something about the business" That
is evident, for in winding up his letter
he tries to discourage the idea of a
factory" being built in North Caro-
lima. He says it is terribly uncertain
that you are only at the beginning Of
your trouble afteryou get your brand"
Of peanuts ready for market.
Commissioner Robinson addressed
another letter to the same firm asking
for the address of any firm who manu-
features machinery to equip a peanut
factory" The answer was a very SLY
one, and gives evidence of the fact that
the writer knows a good deal, but tells
little. It was as follows:

The letter speaks for itself. 1.-The
men IN the business are jealous Of their
knO1CIedge and do not q r to tmpdrt
infornaatiOn." That tells the tale.
The facts are that millions of pounds
of peanuts, the best in the world, are
raised in Eastern North Carolina and
a small portion of Virginia. The Pea
nut Trust" owns the few so called fac
tories located chiefly at Norfolk. The
farmers are forced to sell to the owners
of the factories or their local buyers at
% cents. The trust men run them
through the Cleaners" sort them,
put them in sacks and sell them at A
cents. The process of cleaning doesn't
c0st one fourth of cent. 1t is a sharp
game and it is not a surprise to learn
that the owners of these peanut fac
tories try to surround them with
mystery, and even deny admission to
any person except their employees, or
that they are growing rich fast.
This is a trust that can be broken by
the farmers of North Carolina and
Virginia. You can erect your own
cleaning apparatus, clean, sort and
sack them, and thereby get almost
twice as much for your peanuts. Let
our farmers take prompt and effective
steps to break I'D this trust.

THE GREAT STALLION RACE
Direotum Defeats ArIon and Nelson In
Three straight Heats.

MEDFORD, Mass. Sept. 27.-The biggest
crowd that ever assembled on track in
New England gathered at Mystic Park
yesterday afternoon TO witness the great
est stallion race ever contested in the east.
The contest was between Directum, Arion
and Nelson When the stations were
given the word the second time they came
down the track, with Nelson almost half
length behind the others. Directum had
the pole, with Arion second and the Maine
horse on the outside The quarter pole
was reached in 33 seconds, with Directum
neck ahead of Arion and Nelson half "A
length behind. The half was made in
l. 06 and the three-quarter in /, 3S, with the
positions unchanged. Directum finished
half a length ahead of Arion, with Nelson
tagging a length behind. Time 212.
The trio started in the second heat with
Nelson slightly in the lead. At the quar-
ter pole he still led Directum, with Arion
almost a length in the rear of 1.-THE black.
At the half the Maine trotter had in
creased his lead to length, and the
crowd almost went wild with enthusiasm.
Then Directum spurted and at the third
! quarter was length in the lead, with
| Arion and Nelson neck and neck. In the
stretch Nelson dropped behind and fin
| ished three lengths in the rear of Di-
rectum, who lead Arion by length. Time
by quarters First, 81; half LOB; three
quarters, 1.37; mile, 2.10. This was the
best time of the day and he fastest time
ever trotted over Mystic Park track in q
| race.
When the horses got off again Nelson
was half length behind At the quar-
ter Directum was a neck ahead of Arion
but few seconds later the latter created
a stir by creeping past him, A little past
| the half, however, Directum again drew
| to the front and at the three quarter pole
he led Arion by a length. He finished
two lengths ahead with Nelson over
three lengths from the wire. Time by

DR.. lyman was pale and slightly ema-

He said he had been in Boston all the
time since his strange disappearance, and
that the reason for his sudden leaving

daughters to recover property which they
alleged belonged to them.
The old man said he would probably
have never returned had not Slater, the
spiritualist, discovered him in Boston and
brought him 10 Reno. Slater, W 10 claims
