THE TAX ON TOBACCO.
Col. Cunningham Before United States
Senate Finance COMMITTEES.

Col. John :. Cunningham has just
returned from Washington City.
where he went to appear 10y special
invitation before the finance commit
tee of the United State. Senate. He
said to Raleigh Post man that he be-
lieves the committee will recommend
the repeal of good proportion. if
not all Of the present revenue tax.
In his speech before the committee
Col. Cunningham urged the impor-
lance of the reduction of the tax on
manufactured tobacco at once, as the
present tax is very oppressive to
growers in the tobacco raising States
and to the small manufacturers
throughout the country.
Very strong influences are being
brought to bear upon the committee
and Congress to bring about the re-
duction or repeal Of the tax. The
Board Of Agriculture OF Virginia met
in Richmond a few days ago and
adopted resolutions. strongly urging
this action and forwarded them to
Congress, and both the Tobacco and
Cotton Growers Associations of North
Carolina, in session, took similar
action.
Colonel Cunningham feels that the
matter is one of vast importance to
growers and manufacturers and is
doing all in his power to bring about
the reduction. if not repeal, of the
entire tax

GOVERNOR AYCOCk.

Referring last week to the inaugu-
ration Of Gov. Aycock, DR.. Ivey, OF
the Raleigh Christian Adcocate, says
this:
There are few hearts in North Caro-
lima which do not thrill at the thought
that the old Commonwealth has for
its chief officer such splendid type
of pure exalted manhood. A great
lawyer and distinguished states
man, Governor Aycock is, above all, a
clean, brave. incorruptible man. His
whole nature is Of fine, hardy fibre,
every chamber Of the soul has for
humanity an open door lrrespec-
tive OF party, race, age, and worldly
condition, he has an eye to the well
fare of the interests which have been
placed in his hands through the SUI
frage OF his people.
His splendid career is rich ob lect
lesson, teaching the possibilities OF a
plain country boy who fixes his eye
on lofty ideals, and then moves for
ward with brave heart and undaunted
energy, ever holding on through all
hours and seasons to the sustaining
and guarding hand of God. Charles
b. Ayc"ck is emphatically a Christian
Governor. The heroism of the old
Baptist pioneer is in his soul, and he
is not ashamed to let it be known
that he draws his inspiration and
takes his bearings from the Man Of
Galiec.
MAY his administration be strong
and useful. May happiness sit at
him and his.

THE sEABoARD's NEW TRAIN.

The Richmond Dispatch says this OF
the new train Of the Seaboard Air
Line Railway, the FLORIDA Metropoli-
tan Limited. advertised in the GOLD
LEAF:
The FLORIDA Metropolitan Limited"
is the name of the fine new train
which the Seaboard Air Line began
operating between New York and St.
Augustine on Sunday. 1t is Pull
man train, and is said to be one Of the
finest ever run in the South. day
coach is run from Washington South,
and dining car is attached at Hamlet.
Capt. Il. 2. Smith, district passen-
ger agent Of the Seaboard with head
quarters here, is enthusiastic over
the train, which, he predicts, will be-
come very popular. Captain Smith
is hustling for the Seaboard these
DAYS, and it really looks as if he
would get more than his share.
As our contemporary says Captain
Smith is hustler but he will hardly
get more than his share. SO clever
a man and so good line as he repre-
sent. are deserving Of all they get
and more.

0TEY'S PLAIN TALK.
The Virginia Congressman Tells Some
PalpabIe Truths in Paying His Re-
spscts to the OImsted and Shattuck
Resolutions

\ Washington correspondence says
Hon. Peter j. Otey, Representative
from the Lynchburg (Va.) district,
amused the House and at the same
time told some plain truths concern
ing the objects aimed at by the Ohm
sted and Shattuck resolutions for in
vestgation OF the suppression of suf
frage in the South. He said:
The logical end of all such agita-
lions is negro domination in the
South. 1t means the reinstallation of
carpet Dagger agents of the demon of
darkness and corruption. 1t means
the coming of a buzzard gluttoned
with carrion. 1t means the descend
ants Of those who thirty-fve years
ago fastened their talons in the pros
trate body of the South, like those
pitiiess birds who fed upon the vitals
OF Prometheus when his helpless form
was chained TO rock Yes. it means
the return of those buzzards, glut-
toned with carrion, that are today
following the calling of their diaboli-
cal daddies in Cuba. the Philippine
Islands and in Porto Rico. who exude
such an odor that a mosquito shuns
them. Yes, they are so mean that
the yellew fever germs die in their
presence. They are so loathsome
that the small pox microbes fly from
them. and if snake bites one of them
it kills the snake. As for the Shat
tuck resolution, it seems neither that
nor the Olmsted resolution will pass.
They will not pass until the tsh-worm
swallows the whale, not until the
snail outruns the hare, not until
Dutehmen stop drinking beer, and
not until the billy goat butts from
the rear

THEY GOT OFF LIGHTLY

Justice has triumphed in q measure
and the law partly vindicated in the
case Of three Of the alleged murderers
of Jennie BoSschieter. at Paterson,
n. j, Waiter &. McAllister. William
A. Death and Andrew J. Campbell
have been found guilty of murder in
the second degree. Their sentence
has not yet been passed upon by the
Court but it cannot be more than 80
years in the States prison. They
got off lightly As they no doubt richly
merited the hangman's halter.

After h" Is tried Judge Dixon will

bell. this action being deferred lest it
might prejudice the case against
Kerr.
The crime with which these young
men are charged was most heinous
one. 1t is that on the night of
October 18th, last, they drugged and
assaulted Jennie Bosschieter. Young
girl II years old, who was employed
in a silk mill, with the result that she
died in the carriage in which thew
brought her back to Paterson from
the lonely place four miles out on the
rock road where the crime was COM
mitted.
The unique feature of the Guberna-
torial Inauguration was the uniform
courtesy of the outgoing and in
coming State officers to each other.
In the procession they rode in the
same carriages, on the inaugural
stand the old officers presented their
successors, and they acted toward
each other with the utmost con.idera-
ton. Governor and Mrs. Russell paid
marked courtesies to Governor and
Mrs. Aycock, the new occupants Of
the Mansion. This would not have
been so remarkable If tho two admin
istrations had been of the same party,
but it is notable, coming as it does
after two of the most fiercelv contest
