QUITE ANOTHER STORY.

Some nights ago when Attorney General
Knox was attacked in a restaurant at
Atlantic City, it was widely published
mat the attack was made by rich men
who were outraged because he had
brought suit TO enforce the anti-trust
law. The story was printed by all the
~rapers, though it sounded rather hshy-
Now comes the truth. Before Mr..
Knox was given a seat in the Cabinet. at
he behest OF the trusts, he was the chief
attorney OF the Steel Trust. He sue
ceeded in helping Schwab and company 10
organize the Steel Trust, which should
be spelled with an "a" In manipulating
and merging the plants. Mr.. Knox
forced out OF the presidency OF one Of
the companies merged a gentleman who
didn't want to be forced out. He had
blood in his eye for Mr.. Knox, and when
he saw him in the restaurant he forth
with undertook TO take revenge with his
fists.

ishment at the hands of a trust magnate
because he is enforcing the laws against
the trusts. 1t was too "slaZy' 70 wash,
but many a Republican paper made it a
text for an editorial proving that the Re-
publican party was 'agin" the trusts.
Now they will have to take it all back

Mr.. Knox has brought no suit except
a civil action against the beef trust. That

hurt by Mr.. Knox.

the trusts, the mother Will kill her own

milton Of their valor and their nobility.
The monument at Raleigh, the History
of the Regiments printed this year, the
half dozen monuments erected in the
counties. and other imperishable evil
dences of the gratitude of an apprecia-
tive people-these must be very grateful
to the veterans who have been spared to
this good hour. The lessons of their
titude and manhood in defeat and in
poverty-these things will be told to the
children of this Commonwealth as long
as time shall last. II the youth OF North
Carolina are taught to know their heroic
deeds, to understand the honorable mo-
tives that prompted their sacrifices, and
the high courage they displayed, they
will be worthy descendants of the men
whose magnificent contempt of danger
has challenged-and must ever challenge
the admiration Of the world.
The young men who have grown up
since the war ought to appreciate the
high privilege of coming in close touch
with these soldiers of Lees army. Many
of them are poor and live in comparative
poverty and wear none of the trappings
of the soldier whose bright uniforms
challenged youthful admiration. In their
plain clothes, they are heroes of a Cause
that makes every one of them more to
be revered than if they were members
of the Legion of Honor. That boy or
young man who has come into such rela-
tionship with one of the Wearers of the
gray as to hear him tell the simple story
of what he saw and did has heard from
the lips of the actor a narrative of
deeds far more glorious than can be
found in biography. The experiences Of
the privates do not get in the books, ex-
cept an occasional act of heroism that
was performed in the public eye. There
is hardly a man of the thousands who
came home in rags whose experiences
would not thrill those who are moved
by gallant deeds. These heroes can sell
dom be induced to tell of their own
career, and never in public. The best
stories of war that have been told have
had boys as the only auditors. Happy
the youth who has stored them in his
moved by them to noble living.

CASTRO STILL HOLDS THE PORT.
Garbled Dispatch Led 70 Belief That Revolu-
~tionists Took Porto Cabello.
(By the Associated Press

Washington, Aug. 15.-Defnite informal
ton was received at the Navy Depart
ment today from Commander Nickels, Of
the Topeka, dated Porto CabCllO, which
corrected the misapprehension which
arose out of the garbled dispatch re-
ceived Thursday last from which the De-
partment assumed and announced that
Porto Cabello had fallen into the hands
of the revolutionists. Acting Secretary
Darling yesterday cabled Commander
Nickels asking whether the Departments
construction swas correct. 4 reply re-
ceived today read as follows:
INC. Everything is quiet at Porto Ca
bello. Will sail fer Curacao for coal and
stores and start tonight. A German man
of-war will remain here during my alb
sence.'
1t is apparent from the above dispatch
that tie forces of Castro still hold Porto
Cabello. The Topeka sailed last night
in accordance with advices sent by Com
mander Nickels and according to a dis
Patch received today arrived at Curacao,
which is only a few hours run from
Porto Cabello. After taking coal and
supplies aboard he will return to Porto
Cabello and in the meantime the German
warship will look after American, Ger
man ana Otner foreign interests at lndt
port. The cruiser Cincinnati left Bar
cclcna last night and arrived at La
Guaira today. Commander McLean IN
reporting his arrival stated tat he had
left everything quiet at Barcelona. Both
the Cincinnati and the Marietta are now
at La Guaira.
The United States Minister at Caracas,
Venezuela. has t~elegraphed the Depart
ment OF State that he has reliable infor-
nation to the effect that there is no
blockade of the ports of Carupano, Caro-
Colorado and Guiria. At Ciudad, Bolivar,
however, the blockade is effective.

CONFEDERATE REUNION,

The great event of this month is the
Greensboro. 1t embraces August goth

making preparations to give a royal re-

the annals of history.
Every year there is a thinning of the
call in the Great Beyond. 1.-THE snow that

most of those who survive. They have
passed the meridian and are going down
the slope toward life's sunset. Most Of
them will soon bivouac with Lee and

who fell in the service of their country

There were not a few who were ready
enough to win glory at the cannon's
mouth who found it a harder career to
face the ruin and want that war had
brought.
These veterans-(God bless them every

many a deed Of courage that should be
immortalized in song will be modestly
told to recall the days when youth gave

Browning did much to rouse the people
Of England to the evil Of hill labor by
this poem:

Ere the sorrow comes with years?
They are leaning their young heads

And that cannot stop their tears.
But the young, young children. O., my

They are weeping bitterly.
They are weeping in the playtime of the

WILL HURT THE STATE.

During the past ten years North Caro-
lima increased it's capital in the cotton
milling industry 206.3 per cent. 1t in
creased the number of spind1es 1851 per
cent. 1t increased the number Of bales
consumed 1851 per cent. These figures
tell a story of ability and industry that
put North Carolina in the front ranks
Of Industrial States.
This marked increase in the past ten
years has almost altogether been ac-
complished by North Carolina brain,
North Carolina industry, and North Caro-
lima money. Every mill has been an in
dependent enterprise, chiefly owned and
controlled by men who lived in houses
adjoining the homes of the mill opera
tives.
1t is said that soon many of these
trust, with headquarters in New York
city. Is tina desirable? IS it not a
mistake in the home owners to ransfer
this great industry to the control of a
great combination?
1t will be a bad day for the cotton
mill industry, for the owners of cotton
mill stock, for cotton mill operatives
when individual and local management
is superseded by trust ownership and
management. 1t will, we fear, result in
a cessation Of the growth of the indus
try. If the cotton mills go into a trust
who believes that the capital will in
crease 2O6.3 per cent. in the next ten
years, spindles 235.1 per cent, and the
consumption OF cotton 1881?
The organization of the tobacco trust
diminished the number of tobacco fac
tories and shut the door of opportunity
in the face Of small manufacturers Of
tobacco. Is there not danger that in
some degree the same result would follow
the merger of the cotton mills?
