Nail Trust Lie
Their Only Issue
The Forlorn Situation Demands
That They Do Something.

| WatSOntOWn, Pa, Oct. is, 1902.
Editor of Laporte Newspaper.
We cannot blame partisan sheet
bought up and paid especially for
the dissemination of inaccuracies for
which all democratic sheets are so
prompt in service, when it assails
republican doctrines or republican
candidates. And so when we read
the thrilling narrative of the "Nail
Trust,' in the opposition sheets from
Watsontown to the South and East
borders of the Congressional district,
we determined to see how much
truth it contained and the cause of
the journalistic spasm which led
every paper of that pursuasion to
throw the same kind of fit. We
apprehended from the stacy manner
of its production that the mailed
hand of the Trust had every nom
producer of nails by the throat and
was demanding gold and gore from
the unfortunate victim $. But it
seems that the price of nails has
never been so low in the history of
the trade as they are to-day, when
pig iron and steel We're selling at the
present price-eXcepting the time,
eighteen months-when the "Parks
Combine" had its short lived exper-
ience some seven years ago. Never
since that time has there been a nail
trust nor any manner of combina-
ton in the manufacturing of nails.
This is an open fact that cannot be
denied. And thus the "eXOrbitant
price, charge falls a victim to the
jjavelin of truth. Nails sold for eX-
port at $l.90, if manufactured from
foreign material and exported, net
the manufacturers small profit be
cause the duty of S6.72 is remitted
when the returt >nents are made.
Nails at present !. price in the
market for domestic consumption
pay scarcely any profit at all, us is
witnessed by the fact that five of the
larges and best equipped nail factor
les, with ample capacity to carry on
trade, have not made ii nail for many
months and are idle to-day. If forty
one cents ii keg profit could be made,
smoke from the stack of each of these
would ascend to heaven every hour
of time from Monday morn to Sat
urday eve. To further prove how
far from the truth the the ''inspired
article" mentioned is, it is only nee.
essary to state that ten years age
there were thirty-eight cut mai man.

II. & B. BEERS MARKET LETTER.

Especial to News and Observer
New Orleans, La, August 27.-As Liv-
erpool advices were not encouraging, our
market opened to points lower, but
subsequently advanced 81 to 20 points on
the absence of rains in the Southwest
and shorts covering generally. Later in
the season realizing occasioned easiness,
making the net gain point on September
and 10 to IL on the other months. Show
ors occurred overnight in the eastern
portion of the cotton region, while gen.
orally fair weather prevailed over the
central and western portions. There was
no material change in the high tempera-
ture existing through the Southern States.
Showers will probably occur tonight and
Thursday in the northeastern section Of
Texas and Louisiana; rains are indicated
during the same time in Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louis
lana and Tennessee. Shorts have COW
cred freely, and therefore the buying
power will be dependent principally on
investment buying, placing the market
in a weaker position, especially as spin
ners show no disposition to take hold
for the moment However, with con-
tinuance of high temperature and the abb
sence of general rains, there will be a
tendency to enhance values further in
/ view of the general anticipation OF a
very unfavorable bureau report on Sep
temher 3rd H. & B. BEER.

GOV. CRANE IS SANE

Monroe Rogers will come back to North
Carolina.
A telegram was sent to Governor Ay-
cock yesterday evening announcing that
Governor Crane, of Massachusetts. had
honored the requisition.
Better late than never.
1t will be remembered that Monroe
Rogers was a negro who was wanted in
Durham for house burning, the extreme
penalty for which is something like
twenty years in the penitentiary.
The criminal was located in Massa-
chusetts, and requisition was made upon
Governor Crane.
Then commenced in certain quarters of
the Bay State one of the most absurd
and ridiculous pow-wows ever heard of
since the days of slavery. when certain
fanatics raved and ranted and called
themselves philanthropists.
Many negroes, and some misinformed
white people tried to influence Governor
Crane not to honor the requisition of
Governor Aycock, claiming that Rogers
wuld be lynched if sent back here.
There was ridiculous hearing before
Attorney General Parker, of Massachu-
sets.
All sorts of absurd things about North
Carolina We're testified to by "promi-
nent colored citizens of Boston,, and
Col N. p. Holloway and DR.. Henry B.
Blackwell, white.
They were trying to get the State of
Massachusetts to refuse to honor thesre
QUESTION unless Rogers was guaranteed a
fair trial.
Clement G. Morgan, Rogers colored
counsel, appeared. One of the witnesses
was Rev. w. H. Scott, of Woburn, the
negro preacher, who testified that he
would rather be shot running away
from an officer in Massachusetts than
take the word of Governor Aycock, of
North Carolina, promising me a fair
trial and go to that State for Morgan
put up legal" argument in the shape
of bubble on the name of the negro,
and claimed his identity had not been
established. He said he would accept no
guarantee of a fair trial except armed
troops.
But Attorney General Parker and Gov
ernor Crane seem to be still in their right
minds.

pOHERTY YIELDS TO LARNED.
The American Wins the Game by Sheer Pluck
and Endurance.
fBv the Associated Press.

Newport, r. l., Aug. 27.-For the third
time in eight years English aspirations
for the highest American tennis honors
in singles have been dashed when they
seemed almost within reach of the per-
sistent foreigners, for today William A.
Larned of Summit, N. j., successfully
defended his title as champion by de-
feating Reginald F. Doherty, of England
three sets to one. The scores were AZ
CO, GA, So.
1t was grand game on both sides
but it Slapped the vitality of each player
until it became a question of endurance
and the American proved to be in bet
ter condition.
A scorching sun was no insignificant
factor in the result and at the end Doher-
ty. unus ed to such hot rays, almost col
l&psed. 1t was generally acknowledged
that had the day been cool like those
OF last week the battle would have been
fought longer, harder and perhaps with a
different result.
Larned, however, played the game OF
his life, for Doherty is undoubtedly the
strongest player who ever came to
America.
