The attendance at the Convention

The program as printed in yester-
days paper, with two exceptions, was
carried ont. Prayer was offered by

AGAINST TOBACCO TRUST
MONOPOLY OF CIGARETTE MA
CHIMES DESTROYEu.
A Decision That is of Interest to Wins
ton Tobacconists-Looks Like Win
ston Cigarette Machine Com
pany Will Win It's Case.

An important decision was rendered
in New York last week in favor of
the National Cigarette and Tobacco
Company by Chief Justice Shipman,
of the United States Court of Ap-
peals.
The decision is one OF great interest
to the tObacconists OF Winston, es
pecially so to the members OF the
Winston Cigarette Machine Company
who are the defendants in a some
what similar case, brought by the
Bonsack Machine Company, or Tobac-
co Trust, in which the latter claims
that the winston machine is an in
frlngement on their pateut.
The case which has Just been de-
clded against the trust was an appeal
brought against an injunction which
was secured by the American Tobacco
Company against the use Of the Elliott
and Baron paper cigarette making
machines by the National Cigarette
and Tobacco Company, and from a
legal point of view the decision CT the
Court Of Appeals, it would seem,
destroys the monopoly of cigarette
making machinery enjoyed hitherto
by the trust.
According to Mr.. NJ. Guiterman, of
the firm of EInstein x Townsend,
| counsel for the National Company,
this successful appeal is but the fore
runner OF many suits throughout the
country. The decision handed down
by Justice Shipman was a long oDe
and minutely describes in technical
terms the mechanism of the several
machines on which letters patent
were granted.
The costs of the court falls on the
trust. Justice Brown, OF the United
States Supreme Court, and Associate
Justice Wallace, of the Circuit Court,
concurred in the decision.

Currency Contraction.
rom the Atlanta Constitution

FROM the Atlanta CONSTITUTION
If the people think the British gold
standard is a good thing and are
willing to make it permanent, they
will have to go a great deal further
along the road to currency contrac-
ton than they have yet gone. The
greenbacks and the Sherman notes
of 1S9O-issued to purchase silver,
but made redeemable iii gold by Mr..
Cleyeland's 8 treasury ruling-will have
to be retired. That much is certain.
The single gold standard will not
bear the strain of our present enor-
nous volume of paper money. The
volume is not too large for the needs
OF the people; indeed, it is not large
enough; but it is entirely too large
for the hundred millions of gold which
is all that v ! have available for re-
demption purposes. Consequently,
the greenbacks and the treasury
notes which we're issued under the
law of 1890 will have to be retired
and cancelled. This will be serious
contraction of the currency, and it
will injuriously affect values and
prices, but the people will have to
stand it if they propose to indores
the British gold standard. There is
| no help for it and no escape from it.

INFAMOUS REPORT
The False Charge Against a Usefu
and Prominent Man.


In communication to the Raleigh
News and Observer, from Aurora, n.
G, under date of July 1st, Mr.. J. B.
Bonner, one of the best known and
most reliable citizens of that section,
gives the following denial of the
slanderOuS reports recently published
concerning one of his fellOw-toWns-
men:
In your issue of June 10Th your cor
respondent from Washington does Mr.
Walter Hooker, of this place, the
grossest injustice. That he committed
rape on the girl or attempted to do so
was not in evidence at all. He is very
fond of children, as every one here
knows, and went to her fathers
house, which is near by, and in sight
of his own, and played with the child
as he admitted on trial; but that he
had any evil Intentions towards her
was farthest from his thoughts. The
child, it seems, told another of his
playing with her. and soon a noun
tain was made out of a mole hill. Her
fathers feelings wrought upon by
busy bodies and under the excitement
of the moment wanted warrant for
him. He applied to several magis-
trates who refused to give it to him,
being satisfied that the charge was
frivolous. lie at last found one who
did give it to him. Mr.. Midyett, the
father of the girl, has since told me
himself that he was very sorry he ever
asked for warrant, and that he was
very anxious to have the matter
stopped.
Mi. Hooker is useful and prOmi-
nent layman in the Methodist church,
and has always sustained high moral
character.
That publicity should have been Civ
en- u the Infamous report is exceed
ingly mOrtlfying to him and his friends
here. Respectfully.

THE TRUST WON AS USUAL.
The Tobacco Growers in North Car
lima not to be Relieved.

TRENTON, N. j., July y5.-The Amer
lean Tobacco Company gained partial
victory this afternoon in the suit
brought by the Attorney General to
declare the concern trust.
In supplemental bill filed by him
the Attorney General alleged that the
defendants in securing a monopoly OF
the manufacture of paper cigarettes,
had worked an injury to the growers
of tobacco in Virginia and North
Carolina.
Chancellor Magill this afternoon
dismissed this supplemental bill,
holding that the Attorney Genei al
must confine himself to injuries the
State of New Jersey, and that he can
not extend the remedy sought in this
case so as to go to the relief of per
sons in other States.

LibeIs That Are Laughed At.

New l ork PreSS.
Cartoonists take savage liberties
with public men. They make them
in the shape of monkeys, dogs,
tigers, cats, elephants, lions, hyenas,
jackals, skunks-in fact, every dis
gusting and offensive animal, as well
as the noblest brutes. The question
is often asked: ''Do men in public
life care to be SO caricatured p |
have never yet found IL man in public
life who objected to it. | recollect
very well that James q. Blaine had a
habit of preserving every cartoon of
himself he came across. He was
keenly interested in the pictures rep
resenting him as 1.-The Tattooed
Man." and had a room full of them.
Mr.. Platt has been distorted in so
many ways and in 70 many pictures
that he gets tired of looking at his
likeness. have seen Croker sit down
to laugh in his quiet way at some
clever cartoon representing him as
one of the grandest rascals on earth,
and have known him to go wild with
Indignation at reading even a mild
criticism of his policy. 1t is really
emarkable how much more sensitive
public men are to written criticism
ture, though the latter may be
a thousand times more severe. |
have seen numerous cartoons, which,
if accurately described in print, would
be regarded as exceedingly libelous,
yet taken simply as works oil art
they were laughed at.

A NEW TELEPHONE LINE
To Commence Work Between Will
mington and winston.

A new telephone line that will
nearly cover the State has been organ
lied. The president of the company
is Mr.. L. A. Carr, of Durham, who is
president of the Norfolk and Durham
Fertilizer company. Col. Julian s..
Carr, of Durham, is secretary and
treasurer, and Geo. w. Watts, of
Durham, of the American Tobacco
company, is one of the directors. The
other gentlemen named above are also
directors, along with DR.. p. ID. Fahr-
ney and Mr.. James e. Walker, Of
Maryland.
About $4,000 will be invested in
building the system. The Whining
ton Messenger learns that 1900 miles
of wire has already been ordered, and
that Wilmington, Winston, Raleigh,
Goldsboro, Durham, Greensboro and
Charlotte will be connected with two
trunk wires, and that eventually the
principal towns in North Carolina
and South Carolina will be embraced
in one long distance system. 1t has
been the intention to commence on
the work between Wilmington and
Winston at once.

William DeWlII Hyue.
The best things in the world do
not come to us ready-made. Truth
must be searched for with patient
toll. Beauty must be wrought out
with painstaking devotion. Food
and raiment must be wrested from
the furrow and woven in the loom.
And all our social and political in
stitutions must be fought for on the
field of battle, defended in the forum,
and vindicated in the courts. Even
our religious faith must be thought
out anew in the soul-confiicts of each
generation, or they become mere
forms of words, devoid of life and
power.

PoCAHoNTAs STRIKERS VIOLENT
Threats to Drive Every NOn-Union
Miner Out of the Field

Miner Out of the Field.
PoCAHoNTAs, VA, July 5.-Affairs
in the coal field are daily becoming
more strained. a large meeting was
held between the tunnels yesterday,
and the speakers were unusually abu-
sive and violent. They were deferred
from their proposed demonstration in
Pocahontas by the Mayors proclama-
tion forbidding it and the ample pre-
caution taken TO prevent it. Several
loaded freight-carS were blown to
pieces at Switchback early yesterday
morning. This is supposed to have
been done by the use of dynamite. The
railroad has taken the precaution to
increase largely their guards TO pre-
vent a recurrence OF such acts.
APPEARED WITH THEIR ARMS.
A great many of the strikers ap-
peared in public with their arms. 1t
is said that at least 500 Winchester
rifles were carried, mostly by the
negroes. Heretofore they have kept
their arms concealed The appear
ance of so many weapons has had
demOraliZing effect upon the nom
union men, and many of them are
tired Of using persuasive arguments
with the scobs and will drive all non
union miners out of the fields unless
troops are sent to protect them.
INCREASING THEIR GUARDS.
The operators are increasing their
guards, and the coal field presents
very waI-like appearance. The strik-
ers are being supplied with provisions,
and it is generally thought by conser-
vativc people that unless Governor
McCorkle sends troops into the field
there will be serious trouble very soon.
There was much activity and great
deal of drunkenness in Pocahontas
yesterday, but, fortunately, no fight
ing.
MINERS ARE DESPERATE.
WHEELING, w. Va, July 5.-A spe-
cial just received is to the effect that
the miners throughout the ElkhOrn
region are rioting, having burned
houses and committed other depreda-
tions. The Elkhorn mining region is
on the Norfolk and Western road,
near the boundary OF Virginia and on
the West Virginia side of the line at
which the Governor or Virginia has
had troops for two months past. The
present trouble is supposed to be due
to the long strike during which the
strikers have been driven to despera-
tion through hunger.

The Dog Days.

These "animal" days are so called
from Sirius, the most brilliant OF the
fixed stars in the head of the cOnstel-
lation Cannie Major, or the Greater
Dog. They include the period from
July today to August IL. During
this period Sirius and the sun rise
within the same hour, ,and the ancients
who worshipped the dog attributed
the extreme of heat at midsummer to
the influence of this constellation-a
superstition that has survived to the
present day in the use Of this term.

An Ex-State Senator Misuses Trust

Information reaches here that ex-
State Senator r. S. Mitchell, of Cas-
well county, has suddenly and mystic
riously disappeared from his home.
He is said to be heavily involved and
he is charged with the misuse of trust
funds and his disappearance is attrib-
uted to the latter fact. 1t is said that
quite a number of attachments have
been served on his property. We un-
derstand that Mr.. Mitchell enjoyed
the confidence of the community in
which he lived to very high degree,
so much so that people having surplus
money, even those who had only a
few hundred dollars, would earnestly
insist upon loaning it to him. He
was also man of very extensive
affairs. His recent conduct is Sc.
we're shock to the people Of his section
and it is thought that it will involve
many in financial distress.

WINSTON TOBACCO MARKET.
The Tobacco Journals Review for the
Week Ending July 9th.

The local market has been quiet
this week, though several days good
sales were gotten in. The planters
are extremely busy and the week for
the most part has been good one in
which to clean the crops Of grass.
The bulk of the stock offered was
either re-sales or shipped stock
though some good lots Of planters to-
bacco were sold. Throughout the
week the market sustained a steady
feeling and prices kept fully up-the
demand for all better grades being
very strong. The local manufacturers
are now active buyers on the market
and competition is close On all desira-
BILE tobaccos.
A good deal of the stock offered
during the week was the cleaning up
of the barns, preparatory to the curing
of the new crop.
The week, in spite of the slightly
cool weather, has been favorable one
on the growing crop and tobacco is
reported as looking very fine in most
sections. 1t is small yet, but prOmis-
es a good yield, with favorable wealth
er conditions.
There was much rejoicing in the
trade during the week over the vic
tory of the National Cigarette Com
pany in the cigarette machine suit.
1t is the best piece OF news that has
come to this town in many day and
throws bright CLEAN on Winston's
future as cigarette manufacturing
centre.
