A TRUST
Ths Entire Crop to be Under Control of
One Company

New York, May IA consolidation
of the peanut industry Of the country
under the control of a single company,
with a capital of s., 900, 900, is about to
be affected. The promoter of the con-
solidation several months ago secured
options from many of the peanut grow
ers. Some Of the larger les declined
to give options, but it is said that, now
that the plan of consolidation is known,
most of them are willing to sell and
take stock in the new company. h
options expire on May 18th next and
the promoters express confidence that
the new company, which is to be called
the American Peanut Company, will be
incorporated before then.
The main offices and warehouses OF
the are to be in Norfolk, Va,
and shipments will be made from that
point to the large cities of the coun-
try, instead of being distributed from
New York, as has been the custom in
the past. The value Of the peanut
crop of the United States annually is
estimated at between $4,000, 900 and
50, 900, 900. One of the plans of the con-
~solidation is to increase the product
and export part Of it.
The peanut crop of the United States
is raised almost entirely in Virginia

To the French Ambassador for spain
as Indemnity for Being whipped bv
the United States

Washington, May 1.-The last move
in the negotiations terminating the
var with Spain occurred today when
Secretary Hay paid to the French m
bassador, NJ. Cambon, the $50, 900, 900
provided by the treaty Of peace for the
cession of the Philippines. The pay
ment was made in four treasury war
rants OF $4,000, 900 each, and was re-
ceipted for by NJ. Cambon as complete
ly liquidating h obligation of the
United States in this connection. The
ambassador deposited the $40, 900, 900 in
the Riggs National bank Of this city
and the cashing OF the warrants is ex-
pected TO be made later through the
City National bank of New York.
The Spanish government was notified
by cable Of the payment, but nothing
will be done as TO forwarding the funds
to Europe until Spain directs the exact
course to be pursued
New York, May lit is expected
that the warrants for the $40, 000, 900
payment to Spain Will reach h sub
treasury tomorrow and that exchange
for the entire $50, 900, 900 will be pur-
chased by SPANS representative in

A STATE
To Consider Ways to Prevent Lyme b
ings and the Crimes They Usually
Follow

Atlanta, GA, May IA state con-
vention which shall have for it's mis-
sion the discussing of rape and lynch
ing and whose object shall be to find a
remedy for existing conditions, will
probably be called to meet in Atlanta
as Don as delegates can be selected
from the various counties of the state.
This movement, at first coming only
as a suggestion, has found sufficient
backing and sentiment to cause it to as
sumo the proportions necessary for its
success and it is said there is no doubt
but that the convention will be held
and every county in the state represent
ed in the discussion of recent lynchings.
The convention will not meet for the
purpose of condoning the crime or CEN
surfing the work of outraged citizens
who deal out summary punishment to
the assailant, but its purpose will be
70 suggest such changes in the present
law as to make it possible for indict-
ment, trial and execution of the guilty
to follow in such rapid succession the
execution Of the crime as to make it
impossible for any delay to swell in
dignation of the people to that point
of frenzy which generates violence and
death to the man who is responsible
for the crime.
Judge George Hilyer, a prominent
lawyer and large property owner, is
taking an active part in the matter.
| He will ask probably Governor Gambler
to appoint delegates in a few days but
| the date for the convention has not
| been decided.
