For more than a dozen years The mi
ners and sappers" have been hard at work
destroying the vigor Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Every year the
members of the Commission have pre-
sented to Congress reasons why the law
should be amended SO that it might have
the power to remedy known evils but eve
ry year the railroads manage to kill all
amendments offered, and the Commission
" now unable practically to do anything
but call attention to evils. Publicity, Mr..
Roosevelt's patent humbug remedy, has
been tried for ten years and shown to be
worthless to compel reforms.
And now comes the President with the
insdious recommendation of a Constitu-
tonal amendment to put all interstate
railroads under Congressional control.
That would mean practically all the rail-
roads as they are consolidating. It would
mean, in plain and simple English, put
ting all suits against railroads in the
courts whose judges they appoint Not

MAKING THEM AT HOME.

North Carolina can make everything
it needs right here in the State. Quite
a number of progressive towns in the
State have been purchasing yitrified
brick from Tennessee and other States
in their street improvement work. 1t
seems that all this money could have
been spent with North Carolina manu-
facturers, for the Go1dsboro Argus fur
nishes this information:
"Messrs. H. We'll & Bros, are supply
Ing vitrified brick to the city and indi-
viduals for street paving purposes. The
sidewalk in front of the Hotel kennon
is soon to be paved with these brick,
which have already been placed on the
scene. The top Of the brick make a
good appearance and they are said to be
equally as hard as the brick bought by
the city from Tennessee some months
ago which can be seen on some OF the
principal sidewalks
1t is this and like industries that are
to make this State prosperous, and it
is the part Of patriotism as we'll as good
business Judgment to patronize home
concerns that supply what is needed.

GOVERNMENT ESTIMATE.

The bears are engaged in a persistent
and determined effort to discredit the
Governments cotton report. There is no
incentive on the part of the officials to
underestimate Or over-estimate the crop.
Their interest is to be accurate so that
the world will recognize that it pays to
have an official report made. Last year
when the department estimated the crop
at TO- $50, 900 about this time of the year,
attempts were made to discredit the re-
port, but when the crop had all been
marketed, all critics were forced to say
that the estimate was nearly accurate.
The bears who are now trying to dis
credit the report are interested in keeping
down the price of cotton They must make
the spinners and spectators believe in a
big crop to keep the price down. III the
face of the department is and other re-
ports, is it possible they can succeed in
their plan which means serious loss 10

NOT Known AMONG SLAVES

Ann. Baileys wife. colored, died of
consumption Saturday night. 1t seems
that consumption Is getting to be very
prevalent among the colOred folks.
Back in slavery time it was never heard
of among them.-Wilkesboro Chronicle.
The Chronicle touches upon a subject
that deserves attention. The experience
OF physicians is in accord with the
statement above quoted. This is more
generally true among the negroes who
have made their homes in the north
than among those who remain in the
warmer climate, but it is notable in the
South, too.
Something over a year ago, this paper
published extracts from an able paper
written by DR.. ]. f. Miller, superinten-
dent of the Eastern Insane Asylum,
which gave the facts and figures showing
the deadly growth of consumption among
the negroes. 1t has come to be so alarm
ing that a sanitarium has been built at
Southern Pines and other places, and yet
comparatively few of the great number
can be treated.
Can nothing be done to stop the spread
of this dreadful disease?

meet, There was about Is or ~ iadies
present, very nearlys all the men in town
were present also, but none OF them
dared to say a word loud enough for
those ladies to hear After all other
business was finished Messrs. J. Il. NJ.
and B. R. Warren presented an appiica-
tion for license to retail liquor IN town.

cation was read, and the Honorable
Mayor put it to vote of the commas

| anxious to get good old corn back III town
once more, that SO many OF them said
AYE, Aye" and kept it up so long, that
if one of the commissioners had voted,
no one could have heard him. Again
after about 80 minutes of fun, every
thing got quiet except the cry OF the Ia
dies, and the town adopted new law,
that it be a violation of the town law,
for any steam boat, or mail carrier CT
any other transportation company, to
bring and deliver any spirits or Torment
ed liquor into the city, all the commits
sioners voting for same, which went into
effect from and after it's ratification.
Some one then wanted to pass a law to
keep person from driving his own
horse to town after drink, but that was
postponed until next meeting"

attorney These gentlemen-Messrs

THE SOUTH DAKOTA SUIT.

Tie suit brought by South Dakota to
discussed by the financial papers They
see the cloven foot in the transaction
that there is railroad behind the suit,
and that transferring the bonds to South
Dakota is fraud on the Jurisdiction.
The American Banker Daily Bond News,
in it's issue of December 4th, says:
ut is stated that the suit by the State
of South Dakota against the State of
North Carolina now pending before the
United States Supreme Court, touches the
question of reputation by number Of
Southern States and may involve hun
dred million dollars in bonds, principal
and interest. The object is to compel the
State of North Carolina to pay the inter-
est and principal of nearly $500 900 of
bonds at per cent. per annum, and run
ming for thirty years, in aid of the West
ern North Carolina Railroad Company.
The bill of complaint fled by the plaintiff
State, says the bonds sued on are the
absolute property of that State, so that
this suit does not come under the pro-
Inhibition as laid down in the cases hereto
Two States besides South Dakota have
passed acts authorizing the prosecution
of suits similar to that brought by South
Dakota against the State of North Caro-
line The States of North Carolina South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas.and Arkan-
sas and perhaps other States have bonds
outstanding to the amount of 500, 100000,
principal and interest, which are legal
and just, but which have been repudiated.
The interest of South Dakota in this suit
is not clearly revealed, although Tuinor
connects the Southern Railway Company
with the matter 1t is presumed that the
owners of the bonds have transferred
them to the State of South Dakota merely
as a means to meet the legal require
ments for a successful suit, and upon
this proposition South Dakota is in the
position of an agent for the collection
of the debt"
The statement that the repudiated
bonds of Southern States ''are legal and
just" will be news to the men who
originally held those bonds. They We're
floated at a few cents on the dollar, and
most of them were issued BY Recon-
struction Legislatures composed OF
radicals and thieves. So far as North
Carolina was concerned it's settlement
was "honest and iust" and the repu-
dated reconstruction bonds represented
knavery and thievery.
When the State agreed to give twenty
cents on the dollar for these bonds they
were regarded as worthless, and sold at
about five cents on the dollar. Careful
ivestigation showed that the State actu-
ally received less than twenty cents on
the dollar, and when it offered to pay
all it had received most of the bondhoid-
ers, gladly accepted the honest PROPOSE
ton. The few who did not accept arc
now demanding the pound of Ilesn nearest
the heart.
