conductor while he is laiu of, and in
case OF death his family will receive
insurance
Aside from the benevolent feature
the members Of the association will be
insured home in almost every large
city. When the organization is com.
plcted we will have club houses all
over the country. where the members
can stay when away from home.
The association have in mind Will
not in any way he antagonistic To the

a limit To which you may keep trav-

principal cause of the abandonment OF

opinion among mining men that the

of one of the best mining countries in

Although the extreme cold weather
which has prevailed in that altitude
within the past few weeks has pre-
vented the country from being pros
pected to any great extent, yet enough
has been done In this direction to show
that the gold belt Is not confined to
the immediate vicinity OF the original

A PREACHER THREATENED.
With Criminal Libel For Words Used in the
Pulpit.
Monroe Enquirer.)


Last Monday J. w. Steen met Rev.
w. NJ. Bagby, pastor of Central Metho-
dist church. ON the street and threatened
to indict the minister for libel. The
threat was made because Mr.. Bagby
said in a sermon last Sunday night that
dance had recently been held in this
city at the home of blockader. Mr..
Bagby, in reference to the place where
the dance was held, called no names,
but Steen did not like the statement
that a dance was held at the home of
blockader, and hence his threat of indict-
ment for libel. Mr.. Bagby is not losing
any sleep on account of that threat. In
a community where Mr.. Bagby and
Steen are both hnown that threat of in
dictment for criminal libel is considered
tootnless threat. Mr.. Bagby treated
the threat and the threatener as becomes
minister in that he passed it and him
unnoticed. For over three years Mr..
Bagby has been pastor of Central Meth
odist church. He has made the impress
sion upon the citizenship of Monroe that
he is Cody. fearless man, not sensa-
tional in his preaching but honest and
true to his high calling, preaching with
out fear or favor from the truth as he
believes it. Among the things Steen
will not do is to go into a court room
with an indictment for libel against Mr..
Bagby, not that he would not like to do
so and have that good man sent to
prison, but xRr many other reasons
Steen will never carry out his threat.

PRICE GOES UP.
Oil Companies Now Offer an Increased Amount
For Cotton Seed.

When the State Farmers Association
was in session in Raleigh, and during
the discussion about the value and basis
OF exchange for cotton seed and the meal.
II was agreed that for 1888 pounds of
seed ton of meal should be received.
the oil company to pay freight on the
seed and the farmer freight on the meal.
Twenty five cents was agreed upon as
being just price to ask for the seed,
though the association advised against
selling at any price, as the farmer could
use the seed to better advantage.
Yesterday a letter written to promi-
nent cotton planter of the State from a
mill outside the State was seen. In it
the oil company not alone offered to
make an exchange or basis of a ton of
meal against 1923 pounds of seed, but
also offered to pay freight both ways.
and in addition to this to allow a com
mission Of one dollar a ton on all meal
exchanged.
This is proof that organization on
the part of the farmer is paying and
that if they stand out for their prices
on cotton seed it is going TO come their
way.

A SHORT OYSTER CROP.
The Luscious Bivalves in NC, Waters Scare,
This Year.

The oyster crop is said to be remark
ably short, in fact, dealers who have
been in business for years says that they
never before have seen such scarcity
of the bivalve in the waters of Eastern
North Carolina.
AS a primal reason for the scarcity OF
oysters in our home sections is that the
Chesapeake Bay beds turned out badly
and to supply the markets of Norfolk
and Baltimore the home markets have
deprived themselves for the sake of the
northern trade.
The oysters of New River are small
this year and lack the taste The salt
water that has been banked up in the
sounds by the prevailing northeast
winds have spoiled the taste and made
them much smaller than usual.
At Washington, one of the State S
principal oyster shipping points, the crop
has also been short and the dealers are
confronted with the same problems that
are troubling the other parts of the
State.
