The Trucking Interest.

To the Editor: l note in an interview
had with me by a representative of the
News and Courier, of Charleston, S. c.,
in regard to the proposed North Caro-
lima exhibit to be made there this WIN
ter, l am made to say: THE trucking
interest of the State is small but fruits
of the State will all be shown mosl
wildly" / am sure my Charleston
friends did not mean to misquote me,
but the sentence should have been:
THE trucking exhibit of the State will
be small, etc. The trucking interest
of the State is not only not small, but
it is one Of the leading industries of
the State, if not the leading one, from
an agricultural point of view.
The reason that the exhibit must be
small is that the commodities are all
perishable, and what is shown must be
shown preserved and under glass. 1t
therefore becomes a problem how to
make an exhibit at all commensurate
with the great interest involved. Hence
| said that the trucking exhibit will be
small. Yet it is intended to make it as
full and as instructive as possible by
means of preserved specimens under
glass by photographs and by statistics

MORGAN IS AT The HELM
BY September First the Work is to
be Done.
MORGAN TAXES IT UP WHEN he RE TURNS
The Aim 10 Effect Monopoly Of Bituminous
Coal Production East Of The Mississippi
and North Of The Ohio and
Potomac.
(By the Associated Press.)

Cleveland Ohio, July 1.-The Leader TO-
morrow will say:
Before the first of September all of the
big companies producing bitumnous coal
alton, similar to the United States Steel
Corporation The capitalization will be
enormous, probably second only to that
Of the big steel trust
81 P. Morgan, the advocate of coalition,
first started in with his coal combinations
three years ago making the first move
ments along the line Of controlling the
products OF the Ohio and West Virginia
field. At that time he obtained complete
control of the mining property in the
Hooking and Shawnee Valleys.
cone year ago all of the coal properties
in the Pittsburg district which ship coal
to the lakes were collected into one or
ganization known as the Pittsburg Coal
Company. Then the same interests which
ship coal from that territory down the
river formed what has since been known
as the MOnongahela Coal Company. An
organization was completed in Chicago
ten days ago known as the Owners Coal
Company, which owns twO-t thirds of all
the coal land in Illinois and Western In
diana. Nj. A. Hanna and others in this
territory have completed the absorption
of most of the coal properties in the
MassilOn district. The West Virginia
coal production is virtually owned by the
Fairmont Coal Company, which in turn
is the property of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. The other interests in the ter
ritory are all owned by the Norfolk and
Western, the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road or the Pennsylvania railroad, all of
which with the Baltimore and Ohio are
owned by one company. Now the Illinois
Coal Company the Pittsburg Coal Com
pany, the Monongahela Coal Company, the
Fairmont Coal Company, the Hooking
Coal Company, and the MassillOn Coal
Company are to be collected into one big
organization.
1.-The aim of all of this is to effect a
complete monopoly Of the bituminous coal
production in the territory east of the
Mississippi, and north Of the Ohio and
Potomac. To the accomplishment of this
end Mr.. Morgan is said to have given him
self without reserve and will take it up
as soon as he returns from Europe"

MALLE1r AND MEHE0AN.
J s Supreme Courts Mandate Will Imprison
Them For Two Years.

Yesterday Col. ]. c. L. Harris received
the mandate Of the United States Supreme
court in the Mallett- Michigan case. 1t
pronounces no error in the decision of the
Supreme court and unless Governor Ay-
cock pardons the men they must go to
jail for two years.
The history CT the case is this: j. p.
Mallett and C. b. Michigan Of Edgecombe
county. were indicted in Edgecombe for
conspiracy in defrauding the Willard
estate of $4,000. They were tried in the
criminal court before Judge Sutton,
found guilty and sentenced to two years
each in the common Jail. They appea/d
to the Supreme court and Judge Hoke
granted a new trial. The State appealed
10 the Supreme court, which sustained the
verdict in Judge Sutton's court and re-
versed Judge Hoke's decision.
Mallett and Michigan retained Mr.. r. o.
Burton and writ Of error was granted
by Chief Justice Faircloth to the United
States Supreme court.
The State could not appeal from Judge
Hoke's decision when first rendered. hut
finally did so after an enabling act was
passed by the Legislature. This was one
issue raised by Mr.. Burton, claiming that
the State could not make use of an ex
post facto law. Another issue was that
when the criminal action was begun a
civil action had been instituted and that
the books of Mallett and Michigan, seized
by the sheriff were put in evidence
against them and they were thus made
to testify against themselves contrary to
the Constitution of the United States.
The affirmation of the finding of the
State Supreme court leaves the verdict
as it at first stood. Already many petit
tons have reached Governor AycOck ask
ing for the pardon of Mallett and Mehe-
gan.
1t was said yesterday that for the past
twenty five years no decision of the North
Carolina Supreme court nal been over
ruled by the United States Supreme court,
and that this last mandate made still
another case in which it was sustained.

second, that she did not inform the authorities

which precaution even the foreign consuls al
