It's Product

Revised Plan for the Distribution of
It's Product
NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company has is
sued a circular headed: The Revised
Plan for the Distribution of Sugar, to
go Into Operation Monday Next"
1t says: Sugar will be billed by
the American Sugar Refining Com
pany at the New York Qong) list price
for each State, plus the freight, to job
bers, same as heretofore.
The three-sixteenths will be de-
Quoted from the invoice and same will
be subject to discount of l per cent
for cash in seven days. The 1 per cent
trade discount is discontinued. The
jObbers must sell the sugar according
to the factor plan, taking the New
York card price for each State as a
basis, adding the rate of freight in the
rateboOk and may deduct up to three
sixteenths of cent pound, and this
will give the lowest delivered price at
any point.
'JObberS who handle the American
Sugar Refining Company's product
with the exception of domestic beet
and domestic cane sugars) and sell
them strictly to their rules and terms
and not below the lowest prices as ex-
pressed above, will, at the end of six
ty days, receive from the American
Sugar Refining Company a voluntary
gratuity of One-eighth of a cent a
pound on their purchases. All out
standing contracts are to conform with
the above"
Under the old factor plan the job
bers had profit of about $40 on every
100 barrels sold. Under the new terms
it is expected they will gain an extra
profit of about 81 on every 100 barrels.

PLAGUE NOT SPREADING

LONDON, Sept. 9.-The bubonic
plague in Portugal shows no tendency
to spread, but rather appears to be
dwlndling. The British Medical Jour

the best safeguards against the plague
are cleanliness and efficient sanitation
and denounces the quarantine as 'op-
posed to the true principles of prevent
I've medicine. The Journal also
points out that even in dirty Portu-
gal the disease is barely keeping
alive"

KEEP APPROPRIATIONS
DOWN-TAX REDUCTION.

That was a wise move on the part of
the House to establish Il Committee on
Appropriations to which must be referred
all bills carrying an appropriation. I'm
der the old rules it was almost impossi-
bic to tell how much money had been
appropriated until after the laws had
been printed.
The new departure is in line with the
reforms that We're secured in the Fed
eral House when Samuel J. Randall was
chairman of the Appropriations Commit
tee. 1t is to be hoped that this Legis-
laturc will come back to the old ideas
of economy and simplicity which Ran
dali enforced in the Federal administra-
ton. It was Randall's policy of re-
trenchment that opened the way for
Tilden's winning campaign of Retrench-
ment and Reform in 1876.
There is before the Democracy of 1905
n campaign of transcending Importance
The passage of constitutional amend
ment restricting suffrage is more impor.
tant than everything else. 1t behooves

the Democratic Legislature to win the
confidence of the people by such economy
as will permit reduction in the rate
Of taxation Five cent cotton has made
taxes hard to pay. If this General As
sembly can reduce the tax rate, it will
so very far toward making votes for
suffrage restriction. The people will be
willing to trust very far party that re-
duces the BURDENS of government.
1t is perhaps too soon to say
that The tax rate can be reduced,
but if the Legislature sets its
face sternly aginst creating new
offices and increasing present appropria-
tions, except in the very few instances
where the necessity is apparent, this
Legislature can adjourn with n tax re-
duction. The reductions in the NUM-
Der of employees of the Legislature and
the cut in their pay was a good beginning.
That line of policy ought to be adhered
to in all things, great and small.

A LEADER IN ISRAEL HAS
FALLEN.

The death of Rev. Jesse A. Cunning
GIN, ID. D., at his home in Green's
horo on Saturday night, removes de-
yout man of God who for many years
has been a leading spirit in North Caro-
lima Methodism. Beginning life with
few advantages, he doubted his ability
to preach the gospel and resisted the
clear call he heard as truly as ever Sam
priesthood When he felt that his Mas
ter had called him to preach and that
he mist heed the call, Dr. Cunninggim
regarded it as call to prepare to preach.
He was throughout his life a student and
he was eminently man of one book, and
that book the Bible. 1t was his light,
his guide, his wade mecum. BY its
teachings he walked and held it up dur
ing nearly half century of successful
ministry as the true guide of youth and
old age.
in December, 1897, DR.. Cunninggim said
to a young man whose progress he had
Watched with fatherly pride, Il will re-
ceive my last appointment at this Con
ference Ny days of usefulness are
numbered. God has been good to me
and permitted me to labor in his vine
yard many years. As l grow older and
my strength becomes weakness, / cling
closer to His promises and feel that He
will receive me at last into the rest that
remaineth to His people" He was
right, and at the late session of the Con-
ference at Elizabeth City, he asked for
a superanuated relation and spent the
few remaining weeks in that quiet that
q good man welcomes before he goes into
the presence of his Maker.
DR.. Cunninggim was a practical man
Of affairs, wise counselor, leader
in the temporal affairs of the church; he
had served as circuit rider, station
preacher, college agent, delegate to the
General Conference and been a strong
man wherever ceiled; but it was as a
consecrated man. sanctified by an humble
piety and service to others that he was
best known. lie had ability to do well
{. whatever he undertook, but his implicit
faith, his deyout reverence, his perfect
conservation of body and mind-it was
these that gave him highest honor, and
it was these that will make his mem
ory an incentive to his brethren to fuller
conservation.

a Warehouseman of that city as saying !:
Zone of the impOrtanG factors in ad-
vanoing and depressing the price of
cotton is tire southern mills. The
southern cotton mills have now attain
ed the Importance where they can have
their say-so in fixing the price of cot
ton. The mills are springlDg up very
rapidly in the south, and they are US
ing more cotton than ever, They have
had more to do with the fixing Of cot
ton prices this year than ever before.
A gentleman in the city from Parrott,
Ca, today told me that nearly all the
cotton shipped from his town had gone
to the mills in North and South Caro-
lima. TO tell the truth, the foreign
demand for cotton is not as good as 1T
shonld be, but the southern and New
England mills have taken the bit in
their teeth and are regulating the
price of cotton themselves"

ROBBERS AFTER DAWSON MAN

Pistol and Kept Going.
Mr., r. W. Jennings, the manager of
Major B. Fl. Hoods crosstie camp IN
Worth county, has had an exciting ex-
perience with highway robbers.
One morning last week he left Daw~
son by private conveyance for the
camps, and nightfall overlook him sew
ersl miles this side of his destination.
About seven O'Clock, as he was quietly
driving along the road near Warwick.
three men sprang from the edge of a
swamp and ordered him to halt. Mr..
Jennings made no reply, but drew his
pistol, whipped his horse into brisk
trOt and soon left the robbers behind.
They called to him several times to stop,
but he paid no attention to them 1t
was very dark IN the swamp, and he
could MT tell whether the parties were
white men or negroes.
Several thousand dollars are taken
from Dawson to Warwick once a
month to pay the employees of the tie
camp, and the robbers 10 doubt had
rich haul in view when they planned
to hold up Mr.. Jennings. That night,
however, Mr.. Jennings only had a
small sum of money and watch
on his person. and had the robbery
been successfully carried out only a
small amount of booty would have
been secured. L.
