TRUST STOCK Is MOSTLY WATER.

The United States Investor in its last
issue gives the name Of every trust or
ganized since January LIST, 1898. The
table fo0ts up 4S7, or more than one
for every day. Their total capital is
1870. 1873. 1888, which is divided into
$1.62S, 706,9OO preferred and $5,740,-
O76, 4S3 common stock. A study of the
figures leads the Investor to reach the
following conclusions:
Making due allowance for the fact
that the amount of preferred is, as we
have intimated above, actually larger
than our figures show. it can safely be
assumed that not more than One-third
of the 1910, 7S3,3S3 capitalization of
the new trusts will be found to be pre-
ferred stock 1t is believed by those who
have carefully and disinterestedly stud
led the trust movement that the prefer
red stock represents everything of tangi-
BILE value which the new combine can
show. and we are therefore forced to the
conclusion that two-thirds of the ST.
$40. 7S3,3S3 of trust capitalization Is
water pure and simple
The Atlanta Journal truly says that
1.-THE preferred stock covers every dollar
of the entire value of the property own
ed by the trusts; the common stock II

THE WOMEN WILL FIGHT.

The telegraphic dispatches yesterday
contained this paragraph that is signiii-
cant:
'.Manila, June 21.-General Otis has
received a letter signed by native women
declaring that il all the men are killed
the women will still keep up the night
against the Americans"
These women are animated by the
spirit that possessed the women of
Edenton who attended the celebrated
tea party before the revolution. In all
lands and ages women love their homes
and are as patriotic as men. In the
Philippine Islands, the women are like
the members of their sex in other
climes, and so ardent is their patriotism
that they are willing for the time being
to become Amazon warriors.
The war we are waging against the
Filipinos is war of criminal aggres-
sion." We are shooting down inoffen-
sive men who have committed no crime
except to fight for the right Of self
government-the cause which made
Washington immortal. This country
was driven into war by selfish men who
want to steal the possessions of the
Filipinos and small politicians who
think foreign war will prevent the
fight against trusts. 1t is a disgrace to
orr civilization repudiatiOn of our
Christianity, crime against brave sol
diers who enlisted in a war for hui
mainly, and is the breaking down Of
the fundamental principles upon which
our government rests. 1t is more than
these things; it is war against pa
triotic women. And for what?

GOOD ADVICE TO GRADUATES.

The commandments are over and the
graduates are beginning to see how they
can act on the good advice given them
by the commencement orators. Many of
the graduates will become lawyers. 1t
is an honorable profession and embraces
in the South more men of learning and
public spirit than any other profession.
Speaking in commencement Grafton to
one of the ablest of living lawyers, gives
better advice in shorter compass than
we have seen from any other speaker.
We quote it:
I'll give you some advice. Get in Il
good law office if you can. Prepare
yourself well on every case. Get Il COOL

tremes in dressing. Have no long hair
and no long whiskers. Don't have tie
that is very narrow or very broad or a
collar that is too high or too low. Let

thing as that, and spell out your frs.
given name. Learn to write plainly.
Look up your cases thoroughly. Rich
ard I'll. Dana, in Boston, got number
of cases just because he knew about
sailing and the sea. Look up anatomy
in criminal cases. Senator Foraker

who was then better lawyer. Lastly
and this is something that will please
you all-get married. Even if you have

JIM CROW CARS.
The Anglo Saxon.

The Anglo Saxon.
We notice that number of State pa
pers are complaining at the Jim Crow
car law. and some of them say that ac-
commodations for white passengers arc
not as good as they were before. and
we want to direct their attention to the
fact that if the railroads are not fur
nishing ample accommodations for white
passengers, the railroads and not the
Jim Crow law are to blame, and the
Railroad Commission ought to see that
they do furnish ample accommodations.
This matter of comfortable travel is
one of greatest Importance. and If any OF
our main line roads are only furnishing
one car "a half each for first and Sec
ond class for white passengers, and
giving the same amount of space to col
ored passengers. when the whites fur
nish perhaps three-fourths of the travel,
it looks very much to us as if they were
playing little pouting game and trying
to manufacture sentiment in opposition
to this law passed by the last Legisla-
tllre i'm response to an overwhelming
public sentiment. Every main line road
i'm the State ought to furnish two whole
cars, one of each class for white pas
sengers. The Seaboard has done this
from the start. and if the other roads
haven't enough regard for their duty to
the public to do so voluntarily the Rail
road Commission ought to force them
to do so. and we believe they will do it
if the matter is properly brought to their
attention. And where the travel is not
sufficient to justify the hauling of three
passenger cars, the partitions should be
placed with respect to the proportion OF
travel by the races. II white folks fur
nish three-fourths of the patronage,
give them three-fourths of the car.
That's but common fairness.

"A PRACTICAL, NOT A CONSTITUTIONAL
QUESTION.

The Tarboro Southerner makes good
point when it says the Republicans will
fail to interest the people in a discus
sion as to. the constitutionality. The
people will consider whether they desire
to disfranchise the illfterate negroes and
will leave to the courts the settlement of
the constitutionality of the amendment.
The Southerner sums up its argument
THUS:
'.Shall the negro cease to be politi-
cal power to do evil!
Those who would have the negro
eliminated will vote for the amend
ments, and those who prefer to stand
cheek by jowl with cuffee, will vote
against them and that is all there is to
the matter, SO far as the people are con-
cerned. The people are not lawyers nor
skilled in questions of constitutional law
They will therefore not pretend to anti
cipate the courts. But they do know
what they want. and in this respect can
very intelligently vote on the proposed
changes in our constitution"

Mrs. Joe Person:
Dear Madam-About the last of De-
cembel there appeared something like
heat OF our baby's face. On the fourth
Sunday in January his face and head
were filed with running sores and he
suffered severely. We were satisfied
the dreadful disease was eczema. On
the Above mentioned day Rev. X. D..

ommeIded to us in the highest terms,
Mrs. Jpe Persons Remedy. With the
great confidence we had in these gentle
men, We proceeded at once to use it..
Two months later, the fourth Sunday in
March. Rev. Mr.. Holmes saw the same
child and could scarcely recognize him.
The child is seven months old, his face
is we'll, and there are only slight signs Of
the disease about his head. He is the
picture of health and is hearty and
strong. We gladly recommend Mrs. Joe
Persons Remedy for all forms of ecze-
ma. and think that it is the best blood
purifier on the market. With best
wishes, | am,
