\ feature of the report is an extend
ed account of the operations of the As
sociated Press, showing the great de
velopment of news gathering methods
during the past Two decades. Almost
the entire chapter of newsgathering
organizations is devoted to Il history

of the Associated Press, which the re-
port says was the leading organization
in 1880, and now is far in the lead
of the ncwsgat thcrng organizations of
the United States"

now has about 100 members. more than
half of which are afternoon dailies,
and serves about 900 daily and week.

pers served are in the United States,
but there are fifty or more in Canada,
Mexico. Cuba and Porto Rico.

ciated Press now uses 9.345 miles of
leased wire by day and 20,46I miles
by night. The annual revenues derived
from assessments levied on the news
papers served exceed S1,0OO,OOO, and

adjustments over sixty-three per cent.
were owned by individuals, twenty per
cent. by partnerships and only seven
teen per cent. by corporations. The
total number of wage earners in the
industry had only increased ten per
cent since 1890. but the value of prod
ucts Increased twenty-four per cent.
There was II much greater increase rel
atively among women wage earners
than men. OF the total value of prod
ucts advertising formed forty-three per
cent, subscriptions and sales thirty-slx
per cent. and book and job printing,
including miscellaneous products,
twenty-one per cent.
The total circulation per issue of dai-
lies was enough to supply one for
every five inhabitants, and of week

where he pleased and General Chaffee
asked him if he had any complaint to

ing to visit friends at his home in Ca

quired what protection the American
authorities would afford him. He
seemed to be afraid to venture out.

Vatican Will Try to Effect Some Kind

isfying the desires of Washington as
set forth by Judge William ii. Taft,
governor of the Philippines, and reliev-
ing the holy see from direct respon-
sibility for the withdrawal of the frihrs
from the Philippine archipelago Sev-
cral plans to this end hare been dis
cussed by the Vatican authorities. The
most acceptable of these is that the
generals of the four religious orders
concerned, having been Informed of
WashingtOn's request, shall themselves
order the withdrawal of their depend
ents, who now number about 800. This
plan would ncccsstatc n letter from
the general of each order to Governor
Taft pledging the writer to this ac-
ton, or the insertion of II clause in the
contract between Judge Taft and the
Vatican that steps to this end would
be taken Immediately by the generals
when they We're aware of the wishes
of the United States. The Vatican
would thus be under no odium, the
Pope merely accepting an accom-
pliSlled fact.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
A Remedy Which Has ReVolutionized
the Treatment of Stomach Troubles

A Remedy Which Has Revolutionized
the Treatment of Stomach Troubles.
The remedy is not heralded as a Won
| derful discovery nor yet a secret patent
medicine, neither is it claimed to cure
anything except dyspepsia, Indigestion
and stomach troubles with which nine
out OF ten suffer.
The remedy is in the form Of pleasant
tasting tablets or lozenges, containing
vegetable and fruit essences, pure asep-
tic pepsin Government test), golden seal
and diastase. The tablets are sold by
druggists under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. Many interesting
experiments to test the digestive power
of Stuart's tablets show that one grain
of the active principle contained in them
is sufficient to thoroughly digest EGO
grains of raw meat, eggs and other
wholesome food
Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after dinner pills and cheap
cathartics, which irritate and infiame
the intestines without having any effect
whatever i'll digesting food or curing in
digestion.
If the stomach can be rested and as
sisted in the work of digestion 1T VIII
very soon recover it's normal vigor. as
no organ is so much abused and over
worked as the stomach.
This is the secret, if there is any Sc
cret, of the remarkable success of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, a remedy
practically unknown a few years ago
and now the most widely known of any
treatment for stomach weakness.
This success has been secured en-
tirely upon it's merits as a digestive
pure and simple because there can be no
stomach trouble if the food is promptly
digested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act entire
ly on the food eaten, digesting it COM
pletely, so that it can be assimilated
into blood, nerve and tissue. They cure
dyspepsia, water brash, sour stomach,
gas and bloating after meals. because
they furnish the digestive power which
weak stomachs lack and unless that
lack is supplied it is useless to attempt
to cure by the use of "tonics', pills
and cathartics which have absolutely
no digestive power.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found at all drug stores and the regular
use of one or two of them after meals,
will demonstrate their merit better than
any other argument. 1O-l-3-5.

MICA.
Kinston Free Press.

Kinston Free Press.
One would imagine, to hear Senator
Pritchard speak, that mica was the most
important thing in North Carolina. That
we eat mica, drink mica, sleep on mica
beds, wear mica shoes and clothes. and
when we die are buried in mica collins,
would be the inference drawn from the
Importance that he attaches to mica in
his speeches. We can easily imagine
Senator Pritchard in Washington, after
he had discovered the great important
mica industry of North Carolina, going
around with disheveled hair, and blood
shot eyes, pleading with his colleagues
to do something for mica, or the country
would surely be lost. Although it has
taken us a long time to find out the i'm
pOrtance of this great, great industry, we,
though at a late day, assure Senator
Pritchard of our heartfelt thanks for
saving the country from being eternally
smashed into smithereenS, but for his
timely arrival on the scene. 1t is awful
to contemplate the disastrous results to
this country if mica had been allowed to
continue on the free list. 1t makes one
shudder to think of it even now; to think
of the awful consequences attendant on
the allowing mica to remain on the free
list. We don't know the relative i'm
portance of the mica industry in North
Carolina, but would judge from Senator
Pritchard'S speech that it is away ahead
of the farming interests, and that farm
ers who are great consumers of tariff
protected articles, and receive no benefit
therefrom, should bow in humility to the
great and only mica.

THE BIG TOBACCO TRUST
Danville Register.


What the amalgamation of American
and British tobacco interests, which has
just been consummated in London, means
to the trade at large in its varied phases.
it may be too early to venture an opin-
ion. One thing seems to be almost be-
yond controversy and that is that the
tobacco trade of the world is in a fair
way to be dominated by one OF the most
complete and far-reaching monopoles ex-
tant. What has been done and the de-
ters of the liveliest concern in this city,
which is the recognized center of the
bright tobacco trade of the country.
Without indulging in any uncertain spec
ulations or forebodings as to the signifi-
canoe of this international combination,
it may be appropriate to observe that the
tendency of the dreaded combine is to
develop such proportions as will defy
the power of a single government to
curb it. While political organizations
are contemplating trusts and monopolies
as means to partisan ends, the great cor
porations are affecting new and more
comprehensive alliances and placing
themselves beyond the reach of effective
legislation. If such industrial consolida-
tions are not indeed appropriate require
ments of modern progress, but gigantic
menaces of popular liberty. there seems
to be no room to doubt that humanity has
fallen upon evil days.
