COST OF THE GREAT STRIKE.

II seems to be conceded that the coal
strike is practically over and that the

been almost entirely suspended. VIII with

There Is very general rejoicing over this
result: but the loss which has been caused
by the strike is stupendous.
Some intelligent observers who have
studied every phase of the situation from
the beginning OF the strike TO the present
time make the following estimates that
are probably approximately correct:

THE TOBACCO CONVENTION.

Since the American Tobacco Trust and
the Imperial Tobacco Trust pooled their
issues and divided out the world between
them, there has been quite a drop in the
price of tobacco. One of the largest to-
bacco growers in the State said yester-
day that the slump in prices was about
four cents in the pound in common to-
bacco and two cents per pound in the
better grades. Think how many hundred
thousand dollars his slump transfers
from the pockets of the farmers to the
pockets Of the trust magnates.
There will be a meeting of the State
Tobacco Growers Association in Rocky
Mount on the 10Th of December. In view
of the merger Of the great trusts of
of tobacco, with the outlook for much
larger decreases next season, it is we'll
for the tobacco growers to hold a con-
ference and exchange views and try to
prevent a return of the ruinous prices
for tobacco that logically followed the
organization Of the American Tobacco
Trust.
The United States Investor, one of
the ablest and wisest of the financial
papers, in an article this week predicts
hat the American and Great Britain to-
bacco trust Gin the near future may ex-
tend to the continent, embracing the prin-
cipal manufacturers of France and Ger
many ard possibly other countries" In an
extensive article on tobacco, the Investor
gives as the reason for the better price
the farmers have received this year
that there has been a strong and active
was to destroy in part this strong for
eign demand, which was putting up the
price cf tobacco in the hands of the
farmers, that the tobacco trust was so
trust. Both were interested in getting
cheaper tobacco. The day they merged
was a dark day for the tobacco grower.
The agents and apologists of the to-
DacCO trust are telling the farmers that
the cause of the reduction Of prices is
due to the fact that the farmers are
rushing It too rapidly to market. The
answer to that explanation is that the
rush is not nearly 50 great as two
months agO-before the trusts joined
when prices mere two and four cents a
| pound higher than now. OF course rush
ing any crop to market too rapidly de-
presses the price some, but that is not

SHOULD BE CALLED DOWN.

The whole country has been astCunded
Mr.. Mitchell by the attorneys Of the coal
operators. 1t reads like the badgering
cross-examination by a bullying lawyer
directed at a man thought TO be guilty
himself with dignity, ability and COM
mon sense. The estimate of his high
capacity as a leader has been strengthen
ed by the offensive and unwarranted
examination to which he has been sub
jected.
1t would seem, from the nature o. the
questions, that the operators NJ moth
ing in view but to convict Mr.. Mitchell
of every act Of lawlessness that occurred
during the strike. What has that 20 do

1t was for that purpose that :hc Com
mission was created Everybody VIII
admit that some strikers did unlawful
things and everybody knows that the
operators are engaged IN unlaNIul pTaC-
tees. 1t is not the purpose Of the Com
mission to see which party has sinned
the most. or upon which the respon-
sibility for the troubles can be fixed. 1t
is to try to adjust the differences in the
interest of all concerned. including the
suffering public which is still paying
fifteen dollars a ton for the same coal
that sold one year ago for about seven
dollars.
The attorneys of the operators ought
to be called down and required to aQ-
dress themselves to the matters that are
to be passed upon by the Commission.

TOBACCO FARMERS ORGANIZE.
TON.

y meeting of the tobacco farmers of
North Carolina has been called at Rocky
Mount on the 18th of December. The
farmers believe it to be to their interest
to organize, particularly in view of the
slump in the price since the American
and Imperial Tobacco Companies merged
in order to render themselves absolute
ly masters of the situation in it's detail
and entirety." The outlook is, if an aver
age crop is produced next year, for a
much greater reduction. With that dan
ger threatening them, the tobacco farm
ers ought to meet in large numbers at
the convention in Rocky Mount and con-
slider the future CT tobacco GROWING seri-
ously.
We publish elsewhere a letter from
Mr.. q. l.. Jcyner, of Greenvillo. an INTEL
llgent W-arehouseman, who urges the to.
bacco farmers to organize. Mr.. Joynel
does not think the Imperial and Ameri-
can had in view reducing the price of
N'oO HENI tAtE tOllfolDeO
to render themselves absolutely mas
tiers OF the situation" We hope Mr.
Joyner is right, but We have no s,,ch
1a1th IN the trust. They organized to
make themselves "absolutely masters"
and when they can pay either eight or
ten cents a pound for a certain grade
OF tobacco, just as they elect, who doubts
lhat the farmers will get eight cents? OF
course they do not wish to run the price
down so low as to discourage ]roductio
mat would be killing the goose that Laws
the golden egg. But, within the limit Of
encouraging enough production to keen
themselves masters the trust will no
certain 20 put millions into their own
pockets.
But, whether Mr.. Joyner is right or
our Tears are we'll grounded. there i.
every reason why the tobacco growers
should meet together. exchange views
and organize for their mutual protec-
ton.

NORTH CAROLINA DAY"

On next Wednesday, the day preceding
some four or five thousand schools in
the State, North Carolina Day,"-a day
set apart for the consideration OF some
topic of North Carolina history as pre-
scribed by the legislature of 1901.
To carry out the purpose of the Leg

Not to be behind in utilizing North
Carolina Day for patriotic purposes.
General Julian S. Carr suggests that
a collection for the proposed statue to
Sir Walter Raleigh, be taken up on that
day. Elsewhere we publish his letter to
the county superintendent which ne re-
quests to be read next Wednesday at
the public exercises in the common
schools of the State. General Carr wish
es the children to begin the study Of
North Carolina history at its source, AM
Superintendent Joyner seconds the idea
by sending out General Cars letter 10
the county superintendent with his own
endorsement.
The committee is having prepared a
calendar for the schools OF North caro-
lima containing the principal events in
Sir Walter Raleigh's history. There
could not be a revival of interest in
North Carolina history and literature
which does not begin with the study of
Sir Walter Raleigh. We bespeak sue

in Nash Square to his memory and this
should proceed no faster than
