EDITOR M'CLURE'S ADVICE.

(From the Philadelphia Times.)
We believe that Congress could in no
way 90 well serve the business interests
Of the country as to repeal the present
prohibitory tax on State bank issues
under regulations by the national gov
eminent which would assure the reason
able safety OF all bank notes issued. We
believe this because the present trend OF
public sentiment is clearly and irresist-
IDLY in that direction, and it is always
wise for a government of the people to
meet such a crisis with enlightened and
progressive craftsmanship, and accom-
plish the inevitable with the best safe
guards which can be thrown around it.
If the present congestion of money in
great centers of the country shall con-
tinue.sthe next Congress will be chosen
on the issue of cheap money and plenty
of it, and the floodtide will be beyond
the power of legitimate craftsmanship
to restrain.

THE HUCKLEBERRIES HIT.
(Sampson Democrat.)

(Sampson Democrat.)
The heavy frost Of Tuesday night, the
Goth did great damage in Sampson. Fruit
was injured, and most of the beans and
early vegetables which had come up
were cut down. But the heaviest blow to
Sampson was in the loss of the buckle
berry crop. There never was finer pros
pect fol great crop of Simpsons "a
nous big blues than that of this year.
The bushes were laden with good sized
berries when this cold snap came and
blighted almost the entire crop. In the
thickest parts of the woods where there
was more protection from cold some ber-
ries escaped, and some who have examin-
ed the woods hope that there will be per-
haps fourth of a crop. The few left
should bring good price.

EARLY TO MARKET.
How the Northen Colonists and Home
Folks get Truck to Market Quick.

TRUCKERS and Planters Journal.)
Last Monday marked an epoch in the
history of Chadbourn and the Sunny
South Colony for on that day the first
Refrigerator car pulled out of our sta
ton loaded with strawberries, for the
New York market, and on Thursday
the second car pulled out for Boston.
Thus happily has the problem of trans
pOrtation been solved and our facilities
for putting fruit on the market in first
class condition are second to no shipping
point in the South. By express we place
berries on the Washington market in
twelve hours and on the New York mar
ket in twenty four hours, and by refrig-
orator we can reach any northern market,
even Chicago, by the fastest schedules.
All our fruit has so far gone into market
in good condition and commanded the
highest prices quoted.

THE BLUE BACK IN CHINA
(Statesville Landmark.)

Writing to the North Carolina Presby-
terrain, Miss Claude Grier, of this State
who is now missionary to China, says:
''You may be amused to hear that we
use Webster's Blue Back Speller. 1t
serves the purpose well, as the Chinese
wish to be taught spelling and pronun-
citation, especially the latter, and re-
qure much drill in the vowel sounds
The Landmark has always been lit
tie weak ON the foreign mission question,
but this statement OF Miss Grier's in
creases our faith. If the Monaghan
heather is taught Webster's Blue Back
along with the Bible, then we have some
hope for him.

FREIGHT RATES ON OIL
EXCITEMENT IN SOUTH OVER AN
INCREASE.
The Seaboard AR Line Prevents a
General Rise in the Price of the
Article to Cor sumers.
washington Starr

w aSnlngtOn Star.)
There is much excitement among large
dealers in oil in this and other Southern
cities over an attempt on the part of the
Southern States Freight Association to
raise the rates Of freight on that article
to such an extent as to advance the price
to consumers about 100 per cent.
1t developed few days ago that the
Freight Associa ton, whose headquarters
is in Atlanta, and which comprises all the
lines in the South exceut two. had issued
an order, February 10, raising the clas-
siication on Oil and gasoline IN iron
drums, which is the common mode of
shipping oil, from Washington and Balh-
more to the South from sixth to third
class, making the rate of freight 1OO per
cent higher than it was before. When
the circular was promulgated, it occasion
ed such a storm of indignation that Com
missioner Haines, of the Association,
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the rate going into
effect until those interested could be heard
in support Of their protests.
THE SEABOARD'S ACTION.
The hearing was had, but so strong was
the influence against the dealers that the
decision was adverse. and the anOnunce-
ment made that the rate would go into
effect on April 20. The merchants were
in despair. but on April II the Seaboard
Air Line and its connections, which are
not members of the Southern States
Freight Association, notified the mer-
chants that the Seaboard would take
their oils and gasolines South at the old
rates under the sixth class. While the
Seaboard does not cover all the points
to be reached, its action will, it is beEev-
ed. cause the roads and steamship lines
in the Southern States Association to
accept the same rate now.
A Baltimore refiner, who does very
extensive trade with the Southern mer-
chants, said to Star reporter: Il was
in Florida in February when this change
OF rate was announced. | hurried to At
lanta and had a long consultation with
Commissioner Haines. He said he would
suspend the rate temporarily. Since then
have travelled nearly 1000 miles in con-
nection with this matter, but was unable
to accomplish anything until the Sea-
board Air Line came to our relief.
THE CAUSE AND EJECT.
The refner referred to, in explaining,
as he believed, the cause for the increase,
said: "A well-known oil monopoly insti-
gated u number of railroads, in which
it owns large blocks Of stock, to raise
the rate. II it had been enforced it would
have raised the price of oil five cents per
gallon in many Of the Southern States.

ELECTRIC BITTERS.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener-
ally needed when the languid, exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is tor
pod and sluggish and the need Of a tonic
and Alternative is felt. A prompt use OF
this medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi-
cine will act more surely in cOunteracting
and freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Consti
patton, Dizziness yield to electric Bitters
