New York Nov. ia quiet market
is the rule on Saturday, and today has
been no exception. But notwithstand-
ing. the dulness there has been a con-
tinued firmness in all lines and sellers
generally seem indisposed to make any
new prices at the solicitation of the
buyer. Print cloths are steady and a
larger business has been done at old
prices, which are hardening, though no
new quotations have been made. Wool
ems are inactive at irregular prices.
COTTON.
New York, Nov. 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened easy with prices to points
lower under active general selling and
an apparent absence of bull support,
which has figured prominently much of
the past week. The weakness was caused
mainly by an unexpected bearish turn of
affairs abroad. Futures in Liverpool were
8 to A points lower while spot cotton
declined Lied on small sales. Private
cables attributed this heaviness to ex-
pectations of free offering from the South.
Europe sent few selling orders here,
mainly late delivery options. The re-
Spouse by our market to the news from
Liverpool was an Indifferent one, and
soon after the call prices crept upward
On investment buying and an abatement
in the liquidation. Wire houses, Wall
street and the South bought confidently
and shorts once more took the defensive.
1t was seen that domestic Influences
were anything but bearish, receipts were
small, the crop news bullish, cloth mar
kets were frmer spot demand markets
showed Improvement, while holders re-
fused to be confused by Liverpools move.
Trading in the morning here was fairly
active and of a healthy temper as
whole.
The market closed firm with prices 2
to II points higher, New Orleans and
Boston parties having joined local buyers
late in the session.

THE TRUST PLANK.

The Republican orators have been
telling us that the trusts cannot be
an issue in this campaign, because
both parties would denounce trusts,
and sure enough there is a meaning
less plank against trusts in the Re
publican platform. Speaking OF that
plank, the Washington Post says:
unfortunately, however, the fam
ers of the document were unable TO
point to any act of serious effort ON
the part of the Ffty-siXth Congress
10 abate the admitted and serious evils
produced by such organizations. TIE
President, in his last annual message,
gave Il truthful portrayal of trust
abuse. The Congress, Republican in
both Houses, sat for SIX months while
all those abuses were increasing, and
adjourned without touching or intend
ing to touch them

FOLLOWING INFAMOUS ADVICE

The fellows who have been advising
their ignorant negro followers to
whip white men out of the State"
and the like, may see the result OF
their incendiary advice in the desper-
ate attack two negroes made on an
excellent citizen near Willow Green.
Preparatory to Illegally voting, ne
gro boy went to Mr.. r. r. Carr to list
for poll tax. Mr.. Carr refused to put
him on the list because he was not
of age whereupon later the negro
and his big brother came back and
, dangerously injured Mr.. Carr.
Heretofore negro boys from sixteen
years old have voted Acting under
orders they are trying to list for poll
tax in order to vote in August. They
will then be out of the township when
the sheriff is ready TO collect the poll
tax. Mr.. Carr thwarted their scheme
at the peril of his life. The attack
upon him was the legitimate outcome
of this infamous advice miserable
white office-holders have been giving
to their henchmen. The Governor
ought to offer a big reward for the
scoundrels who seek to vote illegally
by force so that they can be made an
example of before this murderous pol
icy is carried further and results in
wholesale assaults and murder.
There is but one legal, orderly and
peaceable way to prevent such brutes
as went to Mr.. Cars boitse with
threats ito Kill Dix Carr And that
70 eliminate the negro from the
ballot. This incident ought to teach
all white folks that it is both neces-
sary and wise.
This assault, following closely upon
the assault by negroes upon respect
able white women in Cabarrus and
Greene counties, furnish striking OBJ
iect lessons of the imperative need of
some restraining influence upon the
brutal negro fends. When they are
denied the ballot and see only white
men elected to office by white votes
in authority, they will understand
that death follows such crimes, and
that is the peaceable way to restore
safety and protection to the women
Of the State.

FIGURES THAT SPEAK.

At the annual meeting of the Truck
and Fruit Growers Association, held
at Wilmington, it was ascertained
that this year 49l2S crates of straw
berries had beer shipped: that the
average price Of the berries was 49,
cents a quart; and that the gross re-
ceipts amounted to $1,2S4,7 1916.
These figures speak loudly of the
intelligent and progressive spirit of
the truckers of Eastern North Caro-
lima, and of the diversified industries
which are the States reliance for pros
perity. In former years the truckers
had real grievance against the trans
portation companies. We are pleased
to note that this year the transpOrta-
ton has been satisfactory at Il rate
that is fairer and lower than hereto
fore. This great industry is Deepen
dent upon quick and reliable trans
portation at moderate cost. 1t is graf

lantic Coast Line, which has a virtual
monopoly of this traffic, and the truck
ers working together to make it Il
profitable and growing source OF
wealth to the garden spot Of the Unit
ed States.

WidoWto j eHerRights
by Terms Of Codicil.
Trustees Can Act.

The appellate court in an opinion
handed down today in relation to the
Will OF Phebe Allen decides that Mary
w. Allen. widow of Charles B. Allen, is
entitled to dover in his estate.
William Ames. trustee under the will,
asked the court for an opinion as to
whether the acts OF Charles Il. Allen i'm
regard to his debts were such as 10
vest the fee simple OF the estate left by
his mother in him or did he only con-
tinue 10 have a life estate. His children
insisted on. the latter idea and his
widow on the former. Had the contcn-
ton of the children been correct Mrs.
Allen would not have been entitled TO
dover.
Mrs. Phebe Allen, who died in 1865,
by her Will tied up her estate In, the
hands of trustees so that the income
only OF her estate should be paid her
husband during his life and after his
death the income should be paid 20 her
sons, Philip and Charles b. The hus-
band and sons were hopelessly insol-
vent. The sons survived the husband
and Philip died years ago without is
sue.
BY a codicil to the will Mrs. Allen
provides that IL her husband or son
should by discharges from their cred
iors, or by force of any bankruptcy
act of the United States at any time in
force, then the trust with regard to
property so released should cease and
be determined and the trustee should
convey 10 the husband or sons his por-
tion or estate free from all control ana
trust whatsoever.
Speaking of the contention of the
children OF Mr.. Allen, that there was no
compliance with the provisions of the
codicil since 1t does not appear that he
barred by the statute OF Liabilities,
since he has not pleaded this statute
to any of his debts, and been thereby
freed from such debts, the court says.
through Chief Justice Matteson:
I'VE think that this is insisting on
too great strictness in the construction
of the codicil. The purpose OF the tes-
tatrix was merely to keep the property
from vesting in the beneficiaries until
such time as they could safely have the
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1900-04-18

absolute enjoyment of II: or In otlar
words until they were freed from LA
bility TO the claims of creditors. Charles
by paying the debts for which he could
be held. was thereby discharged from
those debts; and TO the debts barred by
should be brought on them. he could
plead the statute and thereby be re-
leased from liability. II he had bean
discharged by virtue of bankrupt act.
Ii would have been equally necessary
for him to have pleaded his discha, ge.
in order TO defeat his liability"
Assuming that the trusts were ter
minated by the payment by Charles
OF his debts, except such as We're
barred by the statute of limitations,
II is argued. further that all that
Charles was entitled to have conveyed
to him under the codicil was a life es-
tate. since the trusts under the Will Is
TO pay the rents. profits and income OF
the estate to the surviving son during
his natural life, and on his death to
convey to his lawful issue In fee or
absolutely the body eft the estate dis
encumbered OF the trusts. and under the
codicil the trustee could only convey
to the surviving SON the estate given
in the will.
I'VE do not, however, take this view
of the scope OF the codicil," the court
says. and the chief justice shows that
the object OF the testAtor was to pro-
tect her sons and husband. to deprive
them OF the employment and control
after the necessity for SO doing had
ceased, and further asserts that ~
is scarcely conceivable that the testa-
trix should have gone to the trouble of
making a codici uniess she had In
tended that the beneficiary should take
something more than life estate. for
the beneficiary was already entitled TO
that under the will, and II she had IN
tended that the body OF the estate
should go to the issue of the surviving
son. that end could better have. been
secured by having ii retained by
trustee than by conveyance 10 the
life tenant"
The court is therefore of the opin-
ion that in accordance with the terms
of codicl. Charles b. Aliens debts were
discharged and the trustee held the
estate solely for his benefit.
