In addition to these burnings, Fuller
may be tried for numbering bis cousin,

NOT AFRAID.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion is making an Investigation as to
rate cutting in violation Of law. The
evidence shows that the law has been
Systematically violated, but as the
Federal courts have managed to emas-
culate the law, the railroad officials do
not fear exposure Here is a sample OF
the testimony: Mr.. McCabe, traffic
manager of the Pennsylvania lines west
of Pittsburg, testified that he did not
maintain the published rates on meat
products (made by trusts last year
On July 21st, he made a reduction of 5
cents, and on October 18th further re-
duction of cents When requested to
furnish record of the reductions, Mr..
McCabe said the records had not been
preserved. Asked why the records had
not been preserved, the witness answer
ed: Possibly because it was thought
that you might ask for them,' and the
examination was continued as follows:
Then you mean to say that those rec
ords were destroyed to remove the evil
dence of your illegal acts?''
Frankly, that might be the reason for
destroying Them
Who takes the responsibility for or
dering violations of the Interstate Com
merce Law for ordering secret reduc-
tions in rates on the Pennsylvania
lines?"
Il am in charge of traffic affairs, and
do what / consider necessary for the
best interests of the company"
Others testified to about the same
g fect, showing the contempt in which
he law is held. The New York Evening
Post says that these men are not to be
punished because they turned States
evidence" but the shippers are to suf-
fer the penalties of the law. Isn't that
spectacle of anarchy in high place
when traffic managers make such con-
fessions Of lawessness?

and was buried today. 1t will be re-
membered by the readers of the News

Monarch Roller Mills, of this place, was
discovered to be on fire, and before
necessary aid was forthcoming the build
ing and all contents were doomed to de-
struction. The mill was recently puF-
chased by Vow & Dorsett from r. w.
Thomas & Co., and was doing a good
business. About two thousand dollars

NO STATE TAX ON PROPERTY.

The last LEGISLATURE of New York
which have raised almost enough money
TO pay the expenses of the State Govern
ment of New York State. Gov. Odell is
ambitious during his term to SO increase
taxes of that character as to raise
enough revenue to make it unnecessary
to levy any State tax on property.
The revenue for the current year in
New York from indirect taxation will
be $15, iii AIS. There is a surplus in the
treasury of $S,200,000, of which $4,200,000
could be applied to the expenses of the
State during the next year, making
total of 1881 AIS. The annual expenses
in the State of New York are $22 ,O00,-
00G, and the direct levy for the STATE
expenses this year, will be only ST.
700, 900. The taxes on corporations,
banks and insurance companies was &c.
900 last year as against 1881, 1856 the
previous year. The increase from the
Raines liquor law added over $1,000, 000
Other indirect taxes proposed by Gov
ernor Odell would produce something
over $15, 100000.
Governor Odell has prepared a bill by
which he seeks to impose tax on the
great corporations which, while doing
business in New York, operate under
the charter of another State and pay
no taxes to New York. This is I'M
fair" he says, because the wealth of
our people which is invested in their
shares is taken out of our taxable
values The bill provides that there
shall be no deduction from the full
value of so much of taxable personal
property as shall consist of shares of
stock lin foreign corporations which have
not paid the tax imposed. 1t is provided
that all foreign corporations doing bust
ness in New York shall make written
annual report giving it's authorized capt.
tai stock and such other information as
may ne TelulTou. LIE tdA iIfpoStu ou
them is thus stated in telegram from
Albany to the New York Times:
1T is also a provision for an addi-
tional franchise tax on foreign corpora
tions stating that every foreignt corpora
ton, excepting banking corporations,
fire, marine, casualty, and life insurance
companies, cooperative fraternal insur-
ance companies, and building and loan
associations, authorized to do business
under the general corporation law, shall
in addition to the tax provided by sec
tion 1872 pay an annual tax of ITO of 1
per cent. upon each dollar of it's capt.
tai stock, up to and including 100000,
600, and the sum of 500 per annum per
$1,000,000, or any part thereof on all
amounts of capital stock in excess of
$4,000, 900 for the privilege of exercising
its corporate privileges or carrying on
it's business in this State.

How Sousa Got His Name.
(The Philadelphia Telegraph

When Sousa. now famous the world
over as king of march music, landed in
the home of the free" he carried with
him a valise on which was mar.ed in
plain letters John Philipso, I. >. A.
Time passed, and this son of sunny
Italy commenced to grow musical and
also to become Americanized. 1t was
then, so the story goes, that he eX-
pressed the desire for a name more
nearly like those of the people of which
he was one by choice. Philipso sounded
out of place doing service for a man
who had imbibed American beliefs and
customs and whose destiny was closely
linked with the STARS and Stripes" for
ever. A member of the band to which
he belonged finally made a suggestion.
1t turned out to be a happy one, and
was adopted by the master of the baton.
The suggestion was this: To the name
Philipso add the U. S. A. Divide the
one name into two words, and there was
the Notwithstanding and easily pro
nounced name of John Philip Sousa.

Spirit of the Press.
CRITICISMS SHOULD BE JUST.
Anglo Saxon.


Some of the newspapers of the State
which advocate better public schools
and more adequate provision for the in
sane about fifty weeks to the year are
taking a little time off now to criticise
the last Legislature for its increased
appropriations. The increased appro-
priations by the last Legislature went
to the cause of education, from the
common schools up, to enlarge the in
sane asylums, and to increase pensions
to the old soldiers. If these increased
appropriations are met at all they Will
be met without any increase in the
general tax levy, and ii the newspapers
are not willing to endorse the increase
in appropriations they ought to quit
advocating enlarged public school facil
ties, asylums and pensions. for YOU can't
have one without the other. Criticisms
of expenditures, to be just ought al
ways to deal with particular eXpendi-
lures and point out the ones which are
objected to.

STOCK IN NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN
MILLS.

American Wool and Cotton Reporter
Attention may be called to a very note
worthy feature of the markets for cotton
mill shares. The tables of quotations on
cotton mill shares in this issue on the
Wool and Cotton Reporter" bring out
the fact that while the shares CT Northern
mills as a whole displayed no signs OF
weakness last week, the shares of South
ern mills took a surprising turn in the
downward direction. Our table of South
err mill stocks contains sixty-two diff
ferent securities, and of these thirty two
registered decline last week in some
cases of as much as five OF six dollars.
The significance of this will appear more
clearly if we state that for several months
past we have mad to make but very few
changes in our quotations on Southern
mill stocks.

Hon Locke Craig.
CWindsor Ledger

We have received numerous letters
asking the Ledger's endorsement and
support of the various candidates for the
United States Senate to succeed the "Rt. .
Hon. Jeter c. Pritchard, ESQ. Now, we
would be glad to see all of them adorn-
ing the Senate hall and believe either of
them would reflect far more credit on
Our State than the present 'misrepre-
sentative" and child of fusion circum-
stances. Marion is gone and Jeter is
going. And were it not that Hon. Locke
Craig is a candidate, the mere fact of
letters going to rest would suffice
and we would have given our support TO
the first man writing to us. But the
PEOPLE of BERTHE county are a unit for
the man whom they have known from
childhood and whose ability, loyalty and
worth they know. We believe-aside
from cur love for him and cur country
pride that urges our support of his can
didacy-that he is the proper man to
succeed Pritchard He is the peer of any
man in the West and has had the party
to defend against Pritchard's attacks in
the extreme west He is Pritchard's
closest neighbor and most formidable
enemy. Such was\proven in the last
campaign when he stumped every pre-
cinct in Madison county and had Jeter
lodging his appointment-when he
could And why did Pritchard dodge
him? Simply because he knew with
what force and honesty of speech Craig
spoke He is not demagogue or
political "harangster.' He is a man OF
real ability, broad minded, deep and hon
est at heart and true to his people and his
State. Locke Craig in the United States
Senate would command. voluntarily and
unconsciously, the profoundest respect
of every member of the Senate. The pres
tige of Vance would be much restored.

TO DELAY TIE CANAL.


TIE Washington correspondence the
man who has the ear of the administra-
tion and knows what will be done writes
to his paper:
ION the best authority in the Senate
ii can be stated that the isthmian canal
question: although nearer settlement. at
present than ever before, will not be
definitely acted upon at this session OF
! Congress. This statement takes cog
nizance of the fact that the House will
pass the Hepburn Nicaragua Canal prob
ably this week, and that that measure
may reach the Senate. before Saturday
But when il does reach the Senate it
s will rest there in the committee on in
teroceanic canals for many weeks and
perhaps months. before any action will
be taken upon it, The reasons for this
are many. Not the least important of
them, as heretofore set forth by The
Tribune. is the definite offer of the
French Panama Canal Company to sell
it's property and concessions to the
United tSates at the valuation put upon
them by the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion, SAC, 000,0 600. : However, great may
be the rear in the House to deal with
the canal question strictly upon it's
merits, with the new light shed on it
by the commissions careful and thor
ough report and the French offer, there
is none of this kind of fear on either
side of the Senate, and that body has
made upgits mind to deal with the ques-
tion almost de novo
He then proceeds to state the steps
in the plan Of delay, to-wit: The
Panama 'offefl Hill vbe referred to the
committee on inferoceanic canals, it will
summon before it every member of the
Walker Commission. "and this part of
the task alone may keep the committee
busy through the session" Then en-
gineers and others will be summoned,
and when all the investigation is fur
nished time will be given to print the
result and time for the country and
Senators to digest it. The article con-
cludes:
~The prediction is confidently made by
the best informed persons in Washing
ton that in the end it will be shown
that the French proposition should be
accepted, and this country will then pro-
ceed to complete the Panama canal at
a total cost of many millions less than
would be necessary for canal along the
Nicaragua route. The Senate's investi-
cation Will not be confined even to the
two routes named. 1T will include the
route across the isthmus of Darien,
which in length is only q miles, and is
declared to be fraught with only one
serious engineering problem, which is
the blasting of huge tunnel $50 feet
high by $50 wide through a solid mass
of granite over a mile long.
Both the Panama and Nicaraguan
routes are declared to be practicable All
the information that the Walker Com
mission could give is at hand, and the
Senate knows all that another investi
cation would show.
1t begins to look like Senator Morgan
is right and that the trans Mississippi
railroads are back of the plans to Sc
cure postponement until some deal can
be made to prevent reduction of rates.

uary 14th. in Raleigh, at seven o'clock
in the evening. 1t promises to be a
gathering of progressive and wide
awake farmers. 1t is to be hoped that

experienced farmers who have no pur-
pose to subserve except to advance the
interests of the agriculturists and the
whole people of the State.
The need is felt by the best class of
farmers of an organization of farmers
in the State, animated by no political
aims, but with an eye single. to such
concert of action as will be beneficial
to the largest class of the States in
dustrial population. DR.. r. Fl. Speight,
president, and Mr.. t. Is. Parker, secre-
tary, of this association, are well known
as men of high character, ca pacity and
patriotism Under such leadership the

come a powerful factor for Agricultural

1t is only that he detests men who adj
vocate the Boer war, and who stay at
home TO play cricket and golf while
they ought to be at the front fighting
their countrys battles. Men who talk
war ought to fight instead of sending
others While they stay at home. 1t is

died OATS at the goals.
