MR. WHITES CARD.

In another column we give a card
from Rev. Jno. e White, in which he
replies to some statements of the Pres
byterian Standard. We are very glad
to be able to give Mr.. Whites side of
the case to our readers, buI wish to
enter protest against his statement
that we originated the suggestion that
a charge had been made against him.
From our point of view, the Standard
certainly makes a charge against Mr..
White when it states that he was let
into the ''eecret" of "a political trade
that ought to have been repudiated by
every honest man in the legislature"
a particular kind of bribery" To us
that seems to be a "charge, grave or
other wise"
Since our last issue, we have learned
from the editor of the Recorder that he,
for reasons best known to himself,
will not reply to the Standard. He
does not wish this to be taken as mean.
ing that he acknowledges the Stand
ards charges, but it at least means,
we suppose, a suspension Of hostilities.
And SO, in the language Of the diplo
mats, "Ghe incident is closed"

~TELRGRAPHING WITHOUT
WIRES.

Wireless telegraphy has been given
a practice Il test by the governments of
France and Germany. The terrible
gale that prevailed in the English
Channel during the past week did not
sff5cg the transmission of messages.
THIS signel victory for Signor Msrconi
and his system will doubtless attract
the attention of scientists in all parts
of the world. In fact, wireless teleg
raphy seems to have come tt stay.
Many experiments have been made
the past two or three years, and the
possibility of thus sending and receiv
ing messages has been clearly demon.
strated, bus not until last week were
messages sent over as great a distance
as the breadth of the English Channel
between Boulogne and SOUTH F0reland
Light-thirty two miles. Speaking Of
this great scientific triumph, the New
York Outlook says:
''Signor Msrconi is a man only
twenty six years old. While he does
not claim to be the sole inventor Of the
system Of wireless telegraphy, the re
markable practical results he has
reached will doubtless identify his
ma ne with one of the greatest marvels
of electrical science-one apparently
capable of large future improvement
and development. The exact method
of the sending Of messages without a
wire has not been fully made kno wn.
1t consists Of the transmission Of cleo
trio waves from one delicateiy a adjusted
and sensitive instrument to another
exactly adjusted to the same kind of
vibration. Marconi himself likens this
to the way in which a tuning fork will
respond to the vibrations of anos her
tuning fork of the same pitch. A yer
tic ii conductor is used that employed
in the recent experiments at Boulogne
Was over n hundred feet high, and
intervening hills are said not to affect
the vibrations"

that dispatch you learn what makes
Pennsylvania, wealthy, prosperous and
Influential. Do you wonder that Penn
sylvania is more prosperous than North
Carolina, now that you know hat she
gives her boys and girls twenty'eighi
weeks instruction each year while IN
North Carolina the length of the school

some have criticised the legislature for

Some ~ec-called farm papers seem
very anxious to literally give away
five year subscriptions to their papers
TO any ore desiring them. Speaking
of this class OF farm papers, Waliace's
Farmer says: The mistake the far
mer makes is in allo wing himself to be
duped into allo wing his name to get on
the list Of any paper whose mission IS
to secure as many subscribers as pos
si0le ct any price, send out enough ao-
dItional at no price to enable it TO Sc
cure @ large amount Of advertising OF
any character, and thus make mer-
chaudise of the farmers and advertig-
ers at once. Intelligent men do not make
sIz9 and cheapness the basis of en-
ploying school teachers, nlr doctors,
nor lawyers, nor preachers. They
dismiss one and all of these classes
when they find they are leading them
astray. Why should they follow any
diff 9rent course with an agricultural

DAVIDSON COUNTY ALLIANCE
MEETING.

correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
On April the 1st u County Alliance
met promptly in the court house &C.
cording to appointment, and while we
did not have a large crowd, we had a
very respectable number of al good
and intelligent men as you will find in
the county, and a more determined set
of men perhaps assembled in this
or any other county. And what made
the occasion more interesting b a
usual, we had with US on that occasion
u distinguished National Lecturer,
j. P. Sossaman, Of Charlotte, N. O.,
who addressed US in a plain, practical
and forcible name on the great prin-
ciples of the Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial Union Our people had never
heard Bro. Sossaman before, but we
fell in love with him and decided after
hearing him that he is the right man
in the right place. The address was
public and 1 am confident that every
man present was pleased with it. Some
who had gotten out of the Alliance
came back that day and many others
will come, and we hear of new mem
6ers who are going to join.
The Alliance is not dead in David
son county. by any means. and we
predict that it will become strong IN
the neal future.
The business of the County Alliance
was transacted in great harmony.
Let every old member come back to
the Order. And speak to your neigh
bors who never belonged to the ALI
ance; many of them are now getting
their eyes open and are about ready to
join US. GEO e. HUNT.

At any rate, we say, the trusts are
doomed. AS a conservative religious
peDer last week said: "As surely as
our government is so constructed that
ultimately the people rule, the modern
trust, grasping and greedy, oppressive

THR CARS DISARMAMENT CON
GRESS.

The Cars much talked of Disarma.
ment Conference will be pulled off
within the next few weeks. The
American delegation consists of An.
drew White, United States embaesa
dor at Berlin; Mr.. Newell, United
President Seth Low, of Columbia
University, New York; Capt. Crosier,
Ordnance Department, United States
army, and Capt. A T. Mahan, United
States navy, retired. Although an able
body, it is not likely that they will &C
compllsh much. England and some
other European countries seem Likely
to heed Kipling's warning: make no
truce with Adam-zad, the bear that
looks like a man." The fact is the Rus
sian Gear already rules over one-s sixth
of the firm land of the globe and has a
death grip on some of the richest parts
of China. With no more conQuests
in sight just yet. he would be very
glad to get rid of a standing army,
provided he could feel safe in so doing.
And that, we are inclined to believe, is
why he called for a Peace Congress.
Since the above was written, we
have learned that the United States,
through its representatives, will hold
that arbitration is a more practicable
method of settling disputes between
nations and it is expected that Ambas
eador White and his colleagues will
urge the adoption of that principle in
opposition to the primary suggestion of
the Car.

THE GROWTH OF moNoPoLY.

Some idea of the extent Of the trust
mania may be gained from the fact
that In the office of New Jerseys Sec
rotary of State the receipts for the
mere filing Of charters during the
month Of March amounted to 1926. 900.
Neatly fifty companies were formed,
and the aggregate capital stock Of these
Is 81. Ill. $50, 600 This does not in
clude scores Of smaller that
would increase the SUN BY many mil
lions of dollars.
Taking up the list of trusts whose
charters were filed In New Jersey dur
ing March we find that the American
Wooden Company heads the list, nav
ing a capital Of Sos, 600, 0CO. The
American Ice Company comes next
500, 600. 600. Uhe United States Cast
Iron Pipe and F-undry Company and
the American Ship building Company
have $50 geo 900 capital each. The In
ternational Seam Pump Company Is
capitalized at $27 500, 600, the New
England Electric Vehicle Transporta
Uion Company $25. OGO, 900 and the fol
lowing 800. 600. 900; Royal BAKING
Powder Company; Havana CONNER
cial Company, of New Jersey amer
Icsn Beet Sugar Company, and the
United Fruit Company.
Among the other companies are:
Consolidated Street Car Company,
SIS, 600 600; Indo Egyptian Compress
Company, $15 600. 600; Compress Gas
Capsule Company, $15 600, COO; Nation
al Salt Company, the Park steel,
American Brick, Continental Cement
and American School Furniture Com
pauy with SO. 600. 600 each.
This sudden and marvellous awaken.
ing to. the advantages of combination
and organization on the part Of busl
ness men is attracting the attention Of
all sorts and conditions of men. Chaun
cey NJ. Depew, one of the country's
weaIthiest men, recently declared:
I'm five years from to day there
will not be an independent business
man in any large or In any con slider
able place In the United States. Every
business will be In the hands of a
strong J~nsolidated organization which
is called a trust. It will destroy all
opportunity for independent energy or
competition, or for that rise of young
men which, we have boosted, has been
one of the great opportunities of this
country"
Mr.. Depew is a shrewd foancier, a
deep thinker, a man whose sympatnles
are in every way with capital; as the
utterance of such a man this paragraph
eserves more than ordinary atlen

Saved Several Lives.

Maxton, n. c., Jan. 19.-(Special.)-
This afternoon at 1920 the southbound
Coast Line freight crashed through
the westbound Seaboard Air Line freight
at Pembroke Crossing, causing ter
rible wreck.
The Air Line engineer, whose train
was moving at a good speed across the
Coast Line track, observed that the
approaching Coast Line train was be-
yond control; and seeing he could not
clear his own train, he applied the brakes
and reversed the engine, thereby allow
ing his train to be struck four ears
ahead of the caboose, in which were
the conductor and twelve drummers,
among whom were j. p. Jolley and r.
o. King, of Raleigh The engineers
presence of mind saved passengers and
crew. No one was seriously hurt.
David Mccall, an aged and esteemed
citizen, was buried near here this
evening.
