Joint Indemnity Asked for by the Powers
No Agreement About Opening Chinese
Ports.
PEKIN, May 1.-THE foreign min
listers have decided to address a
collective note to the Chinese gov
eminent informing it that a joint
indemnity of $50, 900, 900 ta6ls
would be demanded and asking what
method of payment is proposed. A
reply is expected at the end of the
week, which will probably propose
to meet the indemnity by raising the
customs tariff. 1t is considered likely
that the powers will assent to some
such measure in return for conces-
sions On the part of China in the
shape of a total abolition of the
likin, the placing of import duties on
a gold basis, really free navigation
of Chinese waters and the removal
of impediments to navigation and
the tax at Woosung.
The ministers were unable to agree
as to the desirability of opening the
whole empire to trade and residence,
some of them holding that it would
be asking China to assume too great
responsibility and that under the
present system of government it
would be impossible to guarantee
the safety of the numerous foreign
ers who would flock into the interior
if the empire we're entirely opened.

sCHwAB TALKS TO POOR BOYS.

President of the Billion-Dollar Steel COrpo-
ration Says He Knows Of No COllege-Bred
Captain Of Industry.
NEW YORK, May 8.-Chas. M.
Schwab, President Of the United
States Steel Corporation, talked for
30 minutes tonight to SEQ poor boys
of the East Side, students in St.
Georges Evening Trades School.
The occasion was the commencement
exercises of the school. Mr.. Schwab
said, among other things:
"From my long experience 1 am
led to believe that many boys make
the mistake of depending upon in
fuence to obtain for them positions
of profit. This is a serious draw
back to any boy, for even if he has
the talents necessary to advance
ment, other boys, his competitors,
will. say that his success Or partial
success was due, not to merit, but
to influence. Go yourself to seek
work in life and depend upon your
own exertions and merits. Merit
must count and must win. The
boy who depends upon influence is
handicapped sadly from the start.
"No matter what business you
enter, the essential feature to sue
cess is that you perform your tasks
better than anybody else. This
alone will command attention.
Everybody is expected to do his duty,
but the boy or man who does a little
more is certain of promotion.
Success is not money making
alone, and 1 want to state that Of
the truly great men I know in indus
trial and manufacturing lines, none
is a college-bre man, but they r
men who received and industrial or
mechanical education and who
worked up by perseverance and appli-
cation. Let me advise yCuall to make
an early start in life. The boy with
the manual training and the com
mon school education who can start
in life at Is or II can leave the boy
who goes to college till he is 20 or
more so far behind in the race that
he can never catch up. This, how
ever, does not apply to professional
life. The other day I was at a gath
ering of 40 successful business men
men in industrial and manufac-
turing business-and the question
arose as to how many were college
bred men. OF the 40 only two had
been graduated from colleges and
the rest of the party, SO in number,
had received only common school
Quotations had started in life as
poor boys. SO I say, as parting ad
vice, start early"

NORTH CAROLINA FARMING.

The Statesville Landmark reports
damage to potatoes by bugs.
A hailstorm in the Mt Olive e C
ton last week did some damage to
the strawberry crop.
A Clarendon correspondent of the
Chadbourn Messenger says that the
strawberry acreage will be largely
increased in that section this year.
The Chatham Record says: We
are pleased to hear favorable reports
of the wheat crop in this county,
which nov promises to be very
good.
A Newbern dispatch says that big
shipments of peas have commenced
both by steamer and rail. The
whole face of the country is bloom
ing and the fields are full of busy
workmen.
J. @. Braswell & Co., of Rocky
Mount, writing to the Southern To-
bacco Journal say that the crop will
be about as large as last year, but if
conditions are favorable it may be
ioreased ten per cent.
The Charlotte Observers Winston
Salem correspondent reports that
Mr.. Geo. F. Dyer, who has a stable
of fast trotters and PAGERS at Pied
mont Park, has sold to a wealthy
New Yorker Princetell, a splendid
stopper, purchased during the fair
at Winston in October, 1899, by Mr..
w. J. Carter, of Richmond, Va.
Princeten has been raced successfully
through this State, Georgia and
Florida.
The April Bulletin gives these
facts as to North Carolina fertilizer
sales this year: cup to this date
compared with the same date last
year the sales have increased about
% per cent, or nearly one-fourth
over last year. This increase may,
or may not, be a bad sign. There is
a growing tendency with farmers
and truckers to use larger quantities
of fertilizer per acre and on all kinds
of crops. If this is done jud,ciously
it is perhaps the more profitable. Ii
the fertilizers are being used with
intelligent care, and more of it under
food crops, the increase of purchases
may not be Ii bad sign. But II farm,
ers are increasing their cotton and
tobacco acreage at the expense of
food crops, if they are using fertil-
izers, not knowing whether they are
adapted to the needs of their lands,
especially if they are going in debt
for them, it is worse than a bad
sight is disastrous"

GRosvENOR FAvORs THE INCOME TAX

Necessity for Raising Revenue From Other
Sources Than Tarif-Taxing Corporation
Franchises.
ATHENS, o., May 7.-Representa.
tive q. H. Grosvenor says that he
has received a great many letters
in regard to his recent expressions as
to an income tax, the writer's seem
ing to thing that it is a new position
taken by him but he asserts that
1T is not that he has always been in
favor of an income tax; that it is
the falrest tax in the world.
General Grosvenor declares that
new and grave questions in regard
to taxation are coming to the front
n must be met. He says America
is ceasing to be a nation of imports
and points out that, instead of m
porting steel and iron, it is now K
porting them, and it will soon be
producing all the sugar it needs, and
must look largely to some other
source than the tariff for national
taxes For this loss he would sub
stltute as a first. measure the income
tax.
General GrOsvenOr discussed State
taxation at some length, pointing
out the fact that when the constitu-
ton was framed there was scarcely
such a thing in the State const1tu-
lions as the incorporation of a fran
chlse and that Il great change has
taken place with the growth of
these that while they had been de-
clared property and were taxed to
some extent as property they are not
taxed to anything like the extent
they should be. He would support
ali the State institutions and raise
all strictly State revenues from these
franchises.
He called attention also to the fact
that there is nothing new in this
that Pennsylvania and several other
States now raise their State revenues
in this way. He pointed out also
how the evils of differentiation be-
tween localities would disappear
when they would have to pay moth
ing into the State treasury, and that
the State board of equalization for
which, as an institution, he seemed
to have small respect, would be
done away with. He would have
local taxes levied by local bodies and
attach as much responsibility as pos
sible to local taxing bodies.
