Anti Trust! Anti Monopoly

In this fast age there seems to be a
disposition among all moried men to
run everything into a trust or a monop-
oily. The c%ontagion has taken hold of
the large merchants as we'll as manu-
facturers and every effort is made, on
their part. to drown the little fellow
who is trying to do a legitimate bust
ness to make an honest living. Being
tated whether to launch my BOAT or
not. However. take courage when l
realize that there are hundreds of peO-
pie who are not willing to give all
their patronage TO make the rich richer
and the poor poorer. but all things be-
ing equal. prices the same and quail
ty as good. they are willing TO encour-
age the little merchant.
l wish to say to my many friends in
Burke and adjoining counties hat l
have thoroughly renovated the store
room on the corner formerly occupied
by Hogan s. Bristol, next to Lazarus
Bros, where l will keep first-class
Family Groceries and Fancy Confec-
tons. l buy for cash, hence I get bot
tom prices and all discounts. and I
propose to give my customers the ad-
vantage of low prices. And, lastly.
if my friends expect me TO continue IN
business and make a success, of course
they will not ask goods on time. for
that is a thing Of the past with any mer-
chant who expects TO succeed.

RAILROAD TALK
Journal.

Lincoln Journal.
The Journal is in a position
to say with almost absolute
certainty that the new owners
OF the Narrow Guage are
General R. F. Hoke and his
associates, and that it will
become a standard gauge rail-
road and a part of the great
Seaboard Air Line system.
The road will be extended
as tast as money can build it
to Tennessee. via Cranberry.
1t is understood that the new
owners either have already
acquired or have options on
the lumber road from Lenoir
to Wilson's creek. From this
point to Pinola, which is the
present terminus of the road
from Johnston CITY, Tenn,
Via Cranberry, there is a gap
OF only d few miles.
1t viii save the Seaboard
the cost Of hauling it's coal
supply 400 miles. and at the
same time save the expense Of
distributing the coal from
Portsmouth, by making Ham
let Monroe or Chester the
distributing point.
lThe present indications
are that it is far from certain
that the 5. \. l.. Will select
the c.. & n. w. route. In
fact. we hear that Gen. Hoke's
engineers are at work survey
ing a line from Tennessee to
NorgantOn TO connect with
the survey from here to Lin
colnton. Morganton has by
no means lost hope of getting
the road.-ED. News.

SHOOTING STARS.
A Theory That They Have Marked
influence Upon the Tenn
perature.

Recently there has been al attempt TO
revive the idea that falling stars exert
an indirect influence on temperature,
especially in cases where the tempera-
ture falls, as in the first fortnight of
February or May. The advocates of
this notion would have us believe that
certain groups of shooting stars inter
cept a part of the suns rays as they
pass between the earth and sun, so
hat q noticeable cooling Of the atmos-
phere is n result of course, a cooling
which is felt by scientific instruments.
by men, animals and plants.
There are times in the year when
shooting stars arc more numerous than
at others, as the 18th. 18th and 14th of
November, and the 10th, 18th and 18th
of August. 1t was formerly calculated
that the groups from which these come
pass between us and the sun on May IL,
and February 2 respectively. Now it
happens that toward May II, and pre-
cisely on the 10th, 11th, 18th, and 18th
of that month there is noticeable
and well verified lowering of the tenn
perature in Europe north of the Alps.
For this reason those days which are
sacred to Saints Mamertus, rancras.
Servadius and Boniface have given the
pame of the "saints of ice" to their
patrons, the "Eisheiligen" of the Ger
mans. But nowadays this belief is no
longer upheld by sober demonstra-
tions. The saints of ice" are explained
by the general laws of atmospheric
movements, and it is proven that the
shooting stars have nothing to do with
them. The same conclusion will doubt
less be reached regarding the lowered
temperature in February 20. T. Bian-
