THE SLUMP IN COTTON.
The Government Crop Report Causes the Fleee!
Staple to Drop.

On Monday the price of cotton took
a tumble. The fall in price of this
staple followed Immediately on the
heels of the publication of the gov
eminent estimate of 100000 bales,
which is nearly three-quarters of a
million bales in excess of what the
former estimates have been. The
matter is all the more interesting in
view of the charges made that the
government reports were furnished to
New York cotton growers in advance

HE SHOT HIS FATHER
An Unfortunate Affair in St
Matthews Township.
George Cocch Shot His Father, Jubal Gocch,
10 Protect His Mother From

Yesterday morning about nine
o'clock George Gooch, a young man
just about grown shot and perhaps
fatally wounded his father, Jubal
Gooch. The boy was brought here
last night about dark and placed in
Jail, by Deputy Sheriff Riddick and
Constable Scott. The shooting took
pace near New Hope church, about
seven miles from Raleigh, in St. Mat
thews township.
From the accounts given of the af-
fair, it seems that the wounded man,
who was drunk, was beating his wife,
and had knocked her down when lie
was shot by his son. There was a
hog-killing at the Gooch home and Il
number OF neighbors We're present,
assisting in the work Gooch went in
the house to ostensibly get a lard pail
and. in a few moments the noise of a
scuffie was heard. George Gooch
went in the house. and almost imme-
diately there was the report of a gun.
When the neighbors ran in Jubal
Gooch was lying on the floor. the en-
tire charge charge of small shot. and
the wadding having taken effect in
the face and eyes. The boy went to
neighbor'S but made no resistance
when later in the day he was arrest
ed. The wounded man was not moved
until the arrival of a physician.
There We're only two persons in the
room, besides the principals, when
the shot was fired. One of these was
an old blind woman. who says she
heard the noise of the scuffe, aud
Mrs. Gooch, who had been Knocked
down by her husband, and who says
she did not hear the gun fire. Mrs.
Gooch will arrive here this morning,
and her testimony will be of para
mount weight in the case.
1t is said that Gooch, when drink
ing, is a very disagreeable character.
and that he has not only beaten his
wife frequently but that he has at
tempted to shoot her He is about So
years old. and until five years ago
lived in Raleigh. and he still owns
some property here. He was a plas-
terer by trade. His son who shot
him. is about 20 years old, and has
always borne a fair reputation. Pub
lie sentiment, at present seems to be
in his favor.
Gooch was not removed from where
he fell upon being shot until ply
stefan arrived, and at twelve o'clock
yesterday had not received conscious
ness. 1t was thought he was bleeding
in his throat. The wound is in the
face and eyes, and the throat is also
lacerated. The physician decided that
his only chance for recovery was for
him to be brought to the hospital,
and yesterday afternoon Gooch was
placed upon mattress in a spring
wagon, to be brought to Rex Hospital,
but at twelve o'clock last night had
not arrived.
The warrant against young Gooch
was sworn out before H. H. Roberts
1t was stated that the preliminary
hearing will not take place until it is
known whether the wound is fatal or
not.

The Legislative committee, appoint

This committee is composed of five

Much has been said and written
about the Theophilus White cIaim

The present committee is compos-

which has caused so much discussion
since the Supreme Court issued its
mandamus ordering it paid.

THERE is NO REAL COMPETITION

There is now no real competition, as
that term is understood in the business
world. between the Southern States ara
the southern Bell Telephone Companies
in this city. For two years past, the
competition has been more nominal
than real.
The proof, the ample proof, of this
assertion Is, that for nearly two years
the Southern States permitted the
Southern BELL to undercut it on resi-
dence rates. In plain violation of Tie
Bell Company's franchise. 1t allowed
the Bell Company to furnish service t.
residences at SIS Il year, while it fur
nished service ut $50 q year (aad CON
stantly losing subscribers), when i.
could any day have forced the l.el TO
cease underwriting and TO put its rates
at S25 also.
The Bell Company has recently cut
rates still further by Offering Il limited
service Omitted according to its own
notions) TO residences at $l2 year. 1t
recoups itself by raising rates 10 bust
ness houses from $50 to $50 year. The
Southern States has not even protested
against the cut In rates to residences;
1t has not actively sought to profit by
the advance in the rates to business
houses. While the whole business COM
munity has been up in arms against
the BELLS eXtortionate charges the
Southern States has not paid ndig-
nant business men the compliment of
actively soliciting their patronage.
If this business ca policy of Il social
ed competitor is what the Southern
States mistakes for competition. tho
business men of this city will do we'll to
take further and vigorous measures to
protect Themselves against telephone mo-
nopo'y. The Southern Bell will not mis-
take it for competition!
REAL COMPETITION BEING AT
AN END, the only ray to assure reason
able telephone charges TO the citizens of
Norfolk is for the City Councils TO amend
the Bell charter and PIT in il mdrimum
rate. A committee is now going over
the whole telephone situation, and
should he able to recommend to the
Councils fair and just charge, be-
You'd which the Bell. nor any other
company, should be permitted to go.

1t is clear and explicit. This clause
the Bell company has violated and is

which granted the franchise to call 1t
to account. If the city shall fail TO

by no means certain that it will not be

REPUBLICAN, PROPRIETORSHIP
OF THE FLAG.

The impudent pretension of the Re
publican party to stand for the whole
nation still persists. It's assumption of
proprietary rights in the flag is as
braZen now as before it hauled the flag
down in Alaska, or made it n CONNER
cial asset in China and an emblem of
oppression and outrage in the Philip
pines. Mr.. Mckinley is still so hedged
about with sovereignty that adverse
criticism of him is treason-and trait
ors'' multiply.
If the Republican managers had not
found some effectiveness in this prosti-
tuition of the flag Of the nation to the
basest ends OF partisan politics, the de-
vice would have been abandoned be-
fore this stage OF the campaign. 1t is.
in fact. at once the shrcwdest and the
most contemplate of their campaign
tricks. Transparent enough to the citi-
zen who has followed the devious
course of this administration in domes-
tic and international politics, 1t appeals
to that considerable number whose i'm
pulse is to holler whenever the flag is
waved. howbeit the hand that does the
waving is stained with the blood and
loat-ef- defenseless peoples.
1t is not the first time that the politi-
clan has played on patriotism for his
own profit. No party has been quite
clear OF that sin. But for the first time
in the nations history the trick shell
ters a despicable conspiracy against
American civilization, the essential
principles of the Republic. and even
human rights. Based upon the politi-
cal solidarity of wealth, on the cohesive
power OF plumber, on the rapacity of
place-hunters who wish to Neelyize
foreign possessions. the scheme needed
but an effective appeal to patriotism to
insure It's contamination. Hence the
