LOIS Triton, the last slave sold in
New Haven, died Sunday night at her
home in that city. She was born in
Halifax, N. s., Christmas Eve 1899,
and was slave up to 1925, when she
and her sister were sold on New Haven
Green to Anthony p. Sanford for SO,

Judgment against hero Wner.

T.J. SHEPARD, of Bruns wick. a jun

hero of the first water.

were on equal terms with him, than he
would undertake to fly. Tillman had
insulted these men bacause they had
gone to Rock Hill without his con
sent. He had been bossing this state
so long that he thought he had a right,
title and interest to do it. Regarding
the Governors remarks concerning his
not having spoken in the heated cam
paign four years ago, Gen. Butler de,
clared that Tillman did not tell the
truth when he said the committee hao
invited him to speak in the canvass.
He said: II was Systematically ignored

not permitted to speak.
Some one asked about Hamburg
and Gen. Butler said he was there, but
didn't see Tillman. He had been told
though he didn't know how true II
was, that when the shooting Degan
Tillman couldn't be found. Tillman
said he was not in the war because he
was too young, but some of his (But'

Tillman had claimed the credit fol
Clemson College, but the people knew
that men like Tindal and Simpson had
as much as anybody to do with it. Till
man was always attacking somebody
while that somebody was away. AT
Yorkville he had the indecency to lug
Col. McBee's wife into his speech, but
he would no more fling an insult OF
that kind in McBee's face on terms
of equality than he would attempt tc
pull up tree by its roots. Gen: But
Ter said he had nothing to do with out

that some of his friends came on the

but send no invitation to the man who
declined or neglected the other invita-.
tons. Are you to blame? Has he
right to expect to be invited after all the

IMPORTS of $50V 900, coo, ana SO while the
aver l..e rate of the Senate bill is only
i&ht.y higher tnan that of the House
bill, the aggre gate taxation is very
much greater
One single item in the comparison will
show its gross uufairness. Under the
sugar schedule, the rate of the House
bill is given us IS. 43 and the rate of
the Senate bill 3d. 80. Now, in the
House bill, cane sugar and beet sugar
are free and the only sugar taxed is
confectionery and grape sugar. The
total importations of these articles last
year was only S53, 600, 900. Under the
Senate bill all kinds of sugar are taxed.
TkS imports of sugars taxed in the
Senate bill amounted last year to
S1ls, 300 COO. The House duty amounts
to tax of SIS, O73, 900 and the Sen
ate duty to tax of $40, $50, $50, or more
than three times as much. The average
duty on sugar has been kept down by
increasing the number of kinds of sugar
taxed. This fraud runs through the
whole comparison, and renders it entire
ly worthless. Yet we suppose the
finance committee will succeed in
deceiving good many people by it,
who are not familiar with tariff matters.
The Argus ought not to have been de-
luded by it, however.

When the Alaska Commercial company
owned the seal privileges in Alaska they
used to send to the ladies of the European
royal and noble families magnificent
seal skin coats, and in this way made
the seal fashionable fur, for of course
if the royal ladies appeared in seals the
othe- ladies could do no less than follow
their example and wear seals too and in
this way the seal trade was doomed.
But now things are changed. The seal
monopoly is in the hands of the North
American Commercial company, and
with characteristic American independ-
ence this old-time fur list has been sus-
pended and the royal ladies of Europe no
longer receive their accustomed winter
garments of seal. The ladies waited and
waited for their annual tip" and when
none came they went off in a rage and
bought coats of Thibet goat skin, and
this is said to explain the fact that seal
skin has gone out of fashion.

The California wool growers have ad-
opted resolution asking, for the pro-
lection of wool on the ground that in
asmuch as all other prominent indus
tries are protected by the Senate bill
there is no justice in leaving wool out.
What reply will Messrs. German and
Brice make to that request? They can't
say that the business of sheep raising is
any less important or any less worthy
of being fostered by the government than
the business of raising sugar cane or
of digging coal from the earth. Wool
is necessity, but so are sugar and coal.
II wool is put on the free list because
1T enters into general consumption and
a tax on it would bear hard on the peo-
pie, then coal, and iron, and sugar which
are also articles of general consumption
should be put there too. The only pos
sible reason that wool is free, and sugar
and coal and iron are not is because the
sugar AID coal and iron interests had a
stronger quill on German and Brice than
the wool men. That is all there is to
it. German, when asked the reason for
the discrimination must either give this
one or keep silent. He will probably
keep silent.

The Youngest Money King in the World
He Has Sportsman's Paradise,

George j. Gould is the youngest money
king In the world. He was only 80 last Feb

Mr.. Gould believes in recreation after
business, and is an active member of the
New York Yacht Club and the Larchmont
Yacht Club; he is also a member of the
Carteret Gun Club, and is an expert with
the rifle.
He spent considerable time and powder
last winter in shooting at clay pigeons.
This practice proved of great benefit to
him during his hunting tours in the west re-
Gently, where game was more plentiful.
He belongs to the Albemarle and Pamlico
Hunting and Cruising Association. He
boxes regularly for exercise, is an expert
with the foils and is particularly fond of

tage and has wide porches and many green
acres surround it. On the Ian l is beau
t1ful lake of pure mountain spring water.
The brooks are we'll stocked with trout and

The Scarcity of Farm Help.

Evidence is accommodating tending to
show that the complaints made by the
farmers about the scarcity of laborers to
carry on the spring work on the farms
are not overdrawn. Complaints of this
kind are made by the farmers in the re-
gions traversed by the wandering bands
of Coxeyites on their way to Washington
and it is not surprising that the farmers
are enraged because OF the exactions of
the INSTRUMENTATION crew that preferred
idleness to work on the farms at good
wages. But this condition of affairs
does not warrant Philadelphia paper
in making the assault it does upon the
policy that has been pursued in the
country of encouraging manufacturing
interests. The general tendency of civil
ization is to encourage men away from
the farms to the higher wages and the
increased advantages of the cities. The
price of labor rose so high during the
prosperous times before 1893 that the
farmers found it almost impossible to
obtain laborers at prices which the
profits of the tilling of the soil would
pay. 1t has been estimated by close
thousands of farmers to oppose the Re-
put lican ticket IN the presidential cleo
tion of 1892.
But there is no excuse for men tramp
ing over the country in times of indus
trial depression when good wages and
good living are offered on the farms.
1t may he regarded by some of the me-
chanics who are out of work as ire
mendous " come down" to accept the
agricultural wages, but they should ac-
cept such employment rather than tramp
over the country attempting to compel
Congress to restore them to their former
positions and wages. The prosperity the
workers of this land have enjoyed dur
ing the past quarter of century has
aroused Within them spirit of deep hos
Utility to low wages, and numerous in
stances are recalled during the trying
time of last winter, when the soup houses
were open to the unemployed, of men
refusing dollar day because they
formerly earned two and three dollars,
Doubtless this spirit impels many of
these tramping unemployed to refuse
work on the farms. But it is spirit
discreditabie to the men and:s good cause
for the complaints by the farmers. 1t
is dou btless true that there is abundant
work for large majority of the idle
men it they will but accept the best
wagessthey can obtain and wait for better
times to bring improvement in their
conditions Small wages are better than
no wages, and any employment is mucn
to be preferred to idlepess and cbarity.-
