THE fertilizer RATE CASE
Special Master Martin Files His Re-
port on the Minimum Carload Ques-
ton.
ESPECIAL to the Messenger.)

Raleigh, N. c., June 2S.-Special
Master Eugene s. Martin this after
noon filed his report in the circuit
court clerks office here in h case in
which Mrs. Matthews, of New York,
sought to restrain the corporation
commission from making ten tons Of
fertilizer a minimum carload on the
Carolina Central Railway. Mr.. Mar
tins findings are in favor of the COM
mission. He finds hat the interests
of the Carolina Central have not been
~subordinated to the interests Of other
roads OF the Seaboard Air Line system,
nor its traffic unreasonably diverted,
nor is it injured in it's business rela-
lions with said system save in divis-
ion Of earnings. By this division it has
lost revenue, because while the rail-
way commission allowed it to charge
arbitrary or deferential Of thirty per
cent above standard traffics, yet this
is not allowed in the division Of earn
ings. The rates fixed by the commits
sion on fertilizers are just and reason
able to the railway and to Mrs. Mat

BY THE FUSl0NISTS TO DEFEAT THE
AMENDMENT
TO SECURE THE LEGISLATURE
In Order That When That Body Cam
vases the Amendment Vote They
Can Throw Out Enough Democratic
Counties to Defeat h Measure-They
Despair of Defeating the Measure
Before the People-At Work in Close
Especial to the Messenger.O

Raleigh, y. C, June 2S.-Chairman
Simmons said this evening, regarding
the political situation: 1T is evident
the republicans and their allies, the
Pritchard populists, are making their
fight chiefly to capture the legislature.
Most of their work is being done in
close counties and senatorial districts
in the west and white counties of the
east. They are paying YER little at
tentiOn to strong democratic counties
or black counties. They don't hope
TO defeat the amendment at the polls,
but are using the amendment TO stir
up as much prejudice as they can and
to mislead uneducated white voters,
hoping thereby TO strengthen their
legislative ticket"
Continuing, Mr.. Simmons said he
had discovered a we'll laid plan on the
part of The ~fusionists to defeat the
amendment even though the people
may give it an overwhelming MAORI
ty at the polls. To carry their plans,
however, they will have to secure the
the control of the legislature.
1.-The plan," said Chairman Simmons,
is this: IF they can capture the leg"
islature when that body comes to cam
yass the vote for the amendment they
will have it to throw out the entire
vote of county after county upon some
trumped up charge of fraud or intimi-
dation, init it has thrown out enough
votes to overcome the majority for the
amendment and then it will declare
it has been defeated. They will throw
out the vote from nearly every count
in the Second and Sixth districts that
may give a majority for the amend
ment, and If that is not enough they
will then throw out until they gel
enough.
''Of course the plan will not work
because they will never get the legis'
Iature, but thai such plan should have
been discovered and agreed upon, a:
/ am reliably informed this one ha:
been by the f~usionists, shows how ut
terly reckless and defiant of the will o.
the people this corrupt combination
is"

The Coffee Market.

New York, June 2S.-The market for
coffee futures opened steady at an ad-
vanced 5 to 10 points, with more active
trading, following higher European
quotations, a further rise in Rio eX-
change and the disappointment regard
ing the new crop movement. Later,
the advance was checked by unsatis-
factory warehouse deliveries and a re-
luctant response by spot buyers TO the
on futures. The market broke
in the last half hour under heavy re-
alizing: closed barely steady with
prices unchanged to 10 points hlgher.
TotaI sales were 40, 500 bags, including
July $50 to s7.S5, August S7.45 to $3.50.
Spot Rio firm; No. Z invoice sac mild

The Dentist,s Opportunity.

II was particularly busy on las,
Tuesday, said the dentist. my office
was crowded all day, and one of the
last patients to be attended to was a
big, fat middle-aged German woman.
She had been waiting for nearly three
hours, but at last it was her turn, and
she moved up 10 the chair with all the
airy grace of steam roller. Apparent
" the crowd in the Office had impressed
her deeply, for the first thing she said
was: tft
doctor, you vas doing goot bees
ness.'
"'Yes,' said, 4 keep pretty busy
"'My, but you must be maiging a
big lot of money! Say, doctor, vas you
a single man.?
i"This was getting rather interesting,
but the question was fired point blank,
at short range, and felt that had to
answer, so admitted that such was
the case. By this time she had hoisted
herself into the chair, and she gave me
a look that-well, you remember the

MARRIAGE is TOO EASY.
Adjust the Lawn Governing IL, and
In That Way Correct the Pre-
vailing Divorce Abuses.

''The present open-door policy for
marriage in America can not exist
much longer. The question must be
met, and it should be met squarely.
Any discussion of divorce is uutimcly;
1t is futile at the moment. 1t is crap
pling with the question at the wrong
end. Whether divorce is right or
wrong; whether there should be d.
vorce at all, and on what grounds a
decree of divorce should be granted--
these are not the pressing questions
of the hour. The whole matter OF di-
vorce does not begin to stand in such
urgent need of discussion as docs the
question of the laws of marriage.
When we adjust marriage as we should
ndjst it, then we can give our attention
TO divorce. And then we shall find
that in adjusting the one we shall
have come pretty close ii the wisest
and best adjustment of the other. The
practical solution Of both, in short, lies
in the proper adjustment and rigid en-
forcement of laws which shall make
marriage more difficult of accomplish
ment." Edward Box. in Ladies' Home
Journal.

CUBAN HOSPITALITY.
Conolasion Of . Hot Midwinser Trlp
Through Cuba From San.
tiag0 to Havanm.

We quote the closing paragraphs OF
an account by ii. Phelps Whitmarsh,
author of ''The Worlds Rough Hand"
OF hot midwinter tramp from San
tiago to Havana:
Although the entering of city at
night and on foot was no new thing
for either Of us, yet at that time, after
forty-six days on the road, and after
having walked seven hundred and fifty
miles with that particular city az our
goal, we looked at the mysterious arc
of light In the heavens before us with
strange pleasure not unmixed with
eAultation; for not only had we ac-
complished what we had set out to
do with safety and in perfect health,
but we also had that peculiar mascu-
line satisfaction of knowing that we
were the, first white men to travel
through Cuba on foot.
Guanabacoa we saw the electric lights
As soon Is we crossed the bridge at
OF Havana in circles, squares, and
seemingly endless rows. The whole
city was ablaze. The placid waters of
the harbor over which we looked were
shot with silvery streamers. For the
uemaining four miles we forgot our
sore feet. our WEAKNESS, even our hun
ger, and stepped along at gait in
keeping with our lively spirits. At
every turn we found evidence that we
were again entering civilization; first
great, fwhite-walled fort guarding
the road; then brightly lighted car
riages; later a paved street, and at
last a horce-car. Then from the
suburban gloom we suddenly emerged
into a busy. thoroughfare. We had
made forty miles that day, and were
in Havana. sa il.sr
But alas! our rejoicings were quick.
ty nipped in the bud. Before we had
gone a block a small man with large
whistle appeared at Balaam's head
He looked at us .suspiciously for a
moment, then whistled twice. Al "
by magic four policemen appeared. In
vain we protested, threatened, and
fiourished handfuls of papers under
the little mans nose. Our lool:s were
against us. With jubilant negro
crowd surrounding us, we were
marched of igpominiously to the po-
lice-station for the seventh time, and
''run in" mule, dog, and all, for the
night. Thus even to the last we were
the recipients of the one thing above
nll others that a stranger notices in
Cuba--its boundless hospitality.-Cen.

Nobody who may be thinking of stop

shonh ask the maitre d'hotel about the
American woman who spoke French with

The popularity of corduroy as an
upholstery fabric is well founded. It
is durable in texture, and although its
color fades it fades beautifully, and
usually is thereby improved. Still an
other good quality of the material is
its adaptability to its surroundings.
Like sealskin sacque, which may be
acceptably worn to market or for n
round of visits, corduroy is most ap-
propriate for library or sitting-room,
and not at all out of place with the
finer furnishings of the drawing-room.
