Wilmington Messenger Mr. Henry
L. Bauman, business manager for
the East Carolina Truck and Fruit
Growers Association, returned home
last night from a trip to Washing
ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York, where he went to take d
glimpse of the situation as to the
marketing Of the strawberry crop OF
the season, which opens in April.
Mr.. Bauman says he found the out
look favorable and he thinks our
berry growers will reap a good profit
this season if they have good luck
with their berry crop. The acreage
in berries is not as large this year as
1t was last season, but at the present
time the vines are in fine condition.
Altogether Mr.. B4uman thinks the

THE TRUST

The Fertilizer Combine Absorbs a Great Com
petitor-Its Powers Are Enormously In
creased.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 23.-It
was learned here to day that the
Virginia-CarOlina Chemical Com
pany known as the Fertilizer Trust,
has bought out the Charleston Min
ing and Manufacturing Company.
The latter C. owned 2,7OO
acres of the best phosphate land in
the world, located in Charleston,
Berkeley and ColletOn counties, and
only recently efforts were made to
induce it to put up a million dollar
plant here. The price paid for the
stock of the Charleston Mining Com
pany was $3.50, and the total sum
involved is "a million and u half dol
lars.
AS long as this company was indie
pendent it was Il constant menace
to the sO-called trust and now that
it has been bought, the Virginia.
Carolina concern has virtual control
of the fertilizer situation in the
South. The Charleston mining and
Manufacturing Company is owned
almost entirely by Philadelphia cap
italists. 1t began operations in 1867
and has perhaps paid more hand
somely on its original outlay han
any corporation in South Carolina.

ANNUAL MEETING STATE FARMERS MU-
TUAL FRI INSURANCE ASSOCIA-
TON OF NORTH CAROLINA.

This body met in this city on Tues
day and Wednesday, February 18th
18th.
The President and Secretary Lind
sey submitted their reports for past
year, which proved that the organi-
cation of the branches last March
into a State Association was no
mistake.
The following are the prominent
changes made in the Bylaws
/. Each Branch Association is re-
CURED to keep an advance assess
ment in its treasury so as to be ready
to promptly meet Il loss by fire when
one occurs, and the supervisors are
to make the estimate of amount nee
eSSary.
2 The privilege is given each
Branch to disclaim liability by or in
consequence of loss by wind, pro
vided this is added to the policy Of
member when same is issued.
3. The president of each branch or
his appointee is required to adjust all
claims. Heretofore power was given
only for disputed claims.
4. The secretary of each branch
association is required to make a
monthly report of all new business,
and annually the condition of his
branch to the general office at
Raleigh.
5. Agents are required to make
monthly reports of all business done
by them to the Secretary of their
branch. And the general secretary
is directed to make an annual report
of the business done during the year
in each and all the branches.
1t was decided that wherever two
counties formed one and same
Branch, and at d meeting there was
a mutual agreement by vote to sepa-
rate, the liability of the old Branch
ceased at that time.
The following officers we're elected
for the year: President, N. B.
Broughton, Raleigh; Secretary and
Treasurer, A. z. S. Lindsey, Raleigh
Vice President, T. B. Parker, Hills
boro Executive Committee, Richard
Williams, Capt. w. E. Audrey, R.

NO EXTRA SESSION.

The Raleigh Post says there will
be no extra session of the Legisla-
ture. 1t adds:
The Senate, as a court, can sit in
definitely-and get pay for it-and
that seems to be the pointinvOlved-
without the House. The managers
on the part of the House only would
be required to be present during the
trial, but authority having already
been given them to so appear they
would not require the daily presence
of the House to sustain them as such
prosecutors.

Night Work Will Be Discontinued for -Four
Months.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Feb. 19.-Hard-
yarn spinners representing three
hundred thousand spindles, and one
hundred and fifty thousand more rep
resented by letter, met here to-day
and passed resolutions calling for
four months curtailment, which
will amount to fifty per cent. of the
output in mills now running day and
night, and less per cent. in case mills
running now only by day. The resO-
luton, which was finally agreed
upon, was drafted by w. c.. Heath, of
Monroe, N. c., and reads as follows
"Resolved, That we recommend
all mills to stop night work entirely
for four months, beginning March 1,
1901, and that mills running by day
light only stop one day in every
week. At the expiration of sixty
days from March 1, mills stopping
night work shall also conform to ar
engagements made herein for mills
running in daytime only"
The above resolution was unanI
mously adopted after "a three-hours
session, during which time other
resolutions we're offered but none
could be agreed upon until Mr..
Heath came forward with the one
adopted. According to the provis-
ions of this resolution mills running
night and day will on March 1 shut
down night work, and sixty days
later will also shut down one day
each week, while mills now running
only by day will March 1 shut down
one day each week. Of three hum
dred thousand spindles directly rep
resented today, about one hundred
and fifty thousand will shut down
night work. Others which are not
running at night will close down
one day each week. The meeting
was participated in by some mills not
ia the Southern Cotton Spinners?
Association but these mills had an
equal voice in the meeting, whose
sole Durpos was curtailment. It is
expected that many mills will go
even beyond the resolutions and
shut down entirely perhaps a month
or even longer. SeveTalha already
signifed their intention of doing this.

THE DEATH OF MAURICE THOMPSON.

Maurice Thompson died at Craw-
louisville, Indiana, February Is,
aged sc. The following sketch of his
career is taken from the New York
Times:
In the eyes of his admirers, Mau-
rice Thompson held a place in litera-
ture distinctly his own, belonging
to no school and having no imitators.
His style was light and graceful and
his insight into nature, gained
through years of outdoor life, is
mirrored in all his works. Though
born in the North, he came from an
old Southern family, his first Amer
lean ancestor, Nicholas Thompson,
having settled at Fleur de Hundred
in 1923. His bOyhOOd was spent in
northern Georgia, and, though the
home Of his mature years was in
Indiana, his winter months were al
most always spent somewhere along
the gulf coast, and the first works to
bring him into prominence dealt with
the southland Of his fOrefathers.
Mr.. Thompson came of fighting
stock, too, many Of his ancestors
having fought in the revolution and
others in the war of 1912. He him
self fought in the Confederate army
from the beginning to the end of the
civil war.
He published u humber of success
full books. The gathering of mate
rial for ThOmpson's generally con-
sidered greatest achievement, "Alice
Of Old Vincennes," extended through
four years, and there is historical
warrant for every important Incl
dent of this story of Col. Geo. Rogers
Clark's heroic expedition in 1879.
Present indications are that Thomp-
SON 8 later work, "The King of Honey
Island" which deals with the war
of 1912, will have an even greater
sale than "Alice of Old Vincennes."

THE SERVICE OF WRITS.
Payment Not Allowed Unless the Pm

Robert j TraceweT, Comptroller of the

could legally pay his deputy for an at

The communication further states that
Mr. Allen placed this subpoena. in the
hands of one Of his deputies for immedi-
ate service and forced him to drop other
work in which he was interested
The deputy complied with Mr. Allen $
/ directions, and when he arrived at Nat

subpoena on him or anyone else for him,
as he was not a legal resident there. be-

Mr. Tracewell, in passing o. the CUES

there can be no expenses in lieu thereof
Replying to the opinion expressed by
you that through no fault of the deputy

ATTORNEYS FEES ALLOWED.
An Interesting Decision in the Case
of Deceased Soldier

Milo Z. Stevens < Co, of this city. on
June 2 appealed from the action of the
Auditor Of the War Department in re-
fusing them recognition as attorneys emit
tied to fee in the settlement Of the claim
in the case of Jacob Kaufman, late ser
geant Of Company z, 14th Regiment
Pennsylvania Infantry, who served as a
veteran volunteer from August I 1862 TO
May g, 1865, when discharged by reason
Of the close Of the war.
The Auditor in his decision said:
No attorneys fees allowed. as attor-
neys appear 10 have neglected the case.
Soldier died in December, 1898. and attor-
enys have never notified this office Of his
death or taken any action in the case
since that time"
Nj Tracewen in his answer said; u am
unable to see wherein Milo 3. Stevens &
Co, attorneys for the original claimant,
neglected the case as stated by the Aud
itor. They prosecuted the claim of their
client so successfully that an allowance
was made in his behalf for S20G.92, and
under the practice of the Treasury De
partment the said attorneys were entitled
10 S20-05 as attorneys fees.
THE attorneys OF a claimant are not
necessarily the attorneys of his heirs, in
case of the death Of said claimant. 1t
certainly is not the law that the heirs Of
q claimant can deprive the attorney who
has successfully prosecuted the claim of
proof Of heirship they saw fit To make
such without an attorney or through
some other attorney.
The sum of 5000 is justly due these
attorneys and should have been paid them
on the original allowance The action of
the Auditor in refusing TO certify out OF
S20.o5 as attorneys fees TO Milo q. Ste
yers & CO. IS disaDDrOved.
