on our farm and our trees are now full
Of buds / have looked at our peach and
plum trees, and the prospects are most
favorable for splendid crop of both"
The Ives fruit farm at Newport has
six thousand peach and one thousand
plum bearing trees.
From this report it can be judged how
favored Il section of the country it is for
fruit culture, as it shows that the water
surroundings in Eastern Carolina exert
great influence, and prevents the cold
weather blights which affect the fruit
trees of other sections, that have no
water near them.
In looking over the truck farm of
this vicinity, the damage TO the late
cabbage and lettuce will amount to %
per cent, while the new crop growing is
in splendid shape.
Both in cold, wet and dry seasons this
section seems to be peculiarly adapted
TO resist bad weather conditions which
in other sections ruin crops and destroy
! the fruits.

the last campaign was but a srr1rk 20 n
mighty confagration compared with the
coming campaign ON the suffrage amend

our party will have an easy victory ON
that proposed amendment to the conSti-
tuition is mistaken. Every office-hunling
FusiOnist and the one hundred and
twenty thousand colored voters in .he
State are going to make fight IN that
amendment which will be worthy n
better cause. Take away the ignorant
negro vote and the Fusion pie brigades'
name is mud, and they know It, and
when you attempt to eliminate the me-
gro vote you will hear greater howl
from the Fusion office seekers than
went up from the Ephesians when they
gathered round Diana's temple and yell
ID Great is Diana of the Ephesi tas.'
During the last campaign one of these
snollygoster Fusion pie hunters, IN one

hands and yelled atathe top of his voice,
'Feller citizens, Great is Dianer of the

THE LEGALIZED PRIMARY.

The legalized primary is a necessary
corollary of the Constitutional Amend
ment. and it was hoped by leading Demo
Gratis of the State that this Leglsla.
ture would find time to give considera-
ton to the matter and enact primary
law somewhat like the laws in other
Southern States.
The legislation pressing for immediate
action. together with the time demandee
TO draft and submit a Constitutions
amendment, have, we fear, not left OPP
portunity for this important legisla-
ton at this session. If it be so thai
the legalized primary is deferred, the
Democratic committees can provide TO.
primaries to be conducted by fit and
honest men.
The primary is the ideal method Of
giving effect to the will of the party
majority.

CHANGE IN CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICTS.

The two Fusion Legislatures changed
the law of 1891 which divided the State
into nine Congressional districts, as
required by law to be made every ten
years, following the taking of the cen.
sus. They had no object in view ex-
cept giving Pearson in the Ninth Dis
trict the Republican county of Mitchell,
and giving Linney in the. Eighth district
several strong Republican counties, max
ing the Seventh district more strongly
Democratic.
There have been several suggestions
of changes in the Congressional dis
tricts, but owing to some differences no
bill has yet passed. We suggest that at
this late stage the wise course to pur-
sue is to repeal the acts of both the Flu
sion Legislatures, leaving the boundaries
of the districts the same that were es
tablished by the act of 1891. The Leg
islature ought not TO adjourn without
doing this.

of Windsor, Va, and the horrible con-
sequences has just been received here.
Miss Crump's arm was burned to the

perfectly charred. Her mother, Mrs.
M. +. Crump had retired, but she jump

mo trust was ever formed to benefit
the public, and no trust was ever form
ed that didn't hurt the public more than
it benefited it. Trusts do not succeed
by competition: they depend for success
upon absorption or crushing competition,
which gives them monopoly. They are
not simply combinations of capital. They
are more than that. they are monster
combinations of capital TO crush lesser
combinations of capital There is a
difference, and vast difference, between
trusts and combinations of capital, which
the trust advocates do not consider, for
they class all combinations of capital as
trusts, when they are essentially differ
ent. Simple combinations of capital
compete with each other both in selling
and in buying. Trusts compete with
nothing; they crush if they can, and then
hold monopoly and fix both their selling
and their buying price
Early in the session of the Legislature,
Mr.. Stevens, of Union, introduced a
bill, a copy of the Missouri antitrust
law. After agreeing to certain amend
mcnts, it passed the House and is now
pending in the Senate. Amendments
have been offered that would destroy the
bill, and it has been referred to the Ju-
dietary Committee for careful consid-
Grafton" 1t is understood that section
K will be eliminated and the author of
the bill, in order to meet the views OF
those Senators who think that provision
is unnecessarily drastic has consented
IN have il stricken out. With that con-
cession. there ought not TO be mo-
ment's delay now, because the session Is
drawing to a close and longer delay will
ieopardze the passage of any antitrust
law. The new amendments, which de
stroy the bill. now pending ought to be
promptly killed. or the bill ought to be
tabled.
The trusts would welcome adjourn
ment with the antitrust law wholly
emasculated or pigeon-holed. We know
that this Legislature. elected here upon
an antitrust platform, will not inten-
tionally let this matter die. We speak
of it to-day to urge immediate acton.
