THE AMERICAN GIRLS MISSION

1t is common thing during the mar
riage season, and this is always, to find
that some American heiress has captured
Duke, or Baron, or a Count, or some
debt overshadowed fellow with title,
whose home is across the water.
This has been a matter that has been
deplored by the public and the press.
These saw in it a rush for a title by
some girl or her parents seeking "sas-
siety's" whirl, or the roping in of a girl
with bank account by some bankrupt
peer, who only took the American girl
because of the dollar mark.
That's been the view on this side of
the water, but there is another view
point that has been found by a German
editor who solemnly asserts that in Euro
pean politics American women are ex-
erting a pernicious influence, and then
strongly denounces this influence 1t is a
conservative German paper that states
this, the Staatsburger Zeitung, Of Berlin,
eiiu IL SOCS az Iuc uldIIoT IOT tie uTpOSG
of discouraging American European mat.
rimonial alliances.
The Zeitung says that ''the most promi-
nent European statesmen, diplomats and
politicians marry American girls, who
thereby obtain unbounded influence over
their public acts. This tends to democrat
Europe and produce other dangerous
consequences. This is a serious phase of
the American peril American wives are
really political agents of the Western re-
public, away from America"
If the German paper is right and the
American girl is going to make a democ
racy of Europe the papers will have to
cease to jibe at her because of her found
ers for titles and court costumes If
her mission is to unshackle the eastern
continent from the idea of the divine
right of kings then she is a pioneer
and hereafter when she marries and goes
across the Atlantic to live we will have
to give her a God speed on her mission.

INCENTIVE TO BAD EGG oRATORY,

The Supreme court of North Carolina
has affirmed the judgment of the lower
court, awarding Henry F. Seawell $4,000
for being struck with fifteen bad eggs
while upon the premises of the Seaboard
AIR Line Railway Company during the
campaign of 1900. Mr.. Seawell was the
Popullst candidate for attorney general
and was to speak to the people of Shelby
Arriving there he was told by a delegation
OF citizens that they did not wish to hear
him He decided not to speak, and while
waiting tc take the train mob of his
opponents pelted him with eggs, being
aided and abetted by the station agent.
The court held that a common carrier is
not only bound not to assault and NAL
treat an intended passenger, but after he
has gone upon its premises it should
protect him from indignity, assault and
battery. After this, North Carolina cam
dldates who fear rotten eggs, can engage

JUDGE BROWNS CHARGE.
He Touches on a Number Of Things Of Vital
Import.
Especial to News and Observer


Greensboro, n. c., August 24-The Su-
perior court, for the trial of criminal
cases only, opened here this morning
Judge George H. Brown, who exchanged
with Judge oliver Allen, presiding
1t was noticed that the efforts of law
yers to get prominent men excused from
service on the jury were fruitless when
the excuse given was that their factory
or store or office required their personal
attention Judge Brown would invariably
say, that there was no business of this
era more pressing or important than the
proper administration of justice, and the
best class of business men were most com
petent to do this, however distasteful to
them it might be.
Judge Browns charge to the jury was
brief, but forceful, and somewhat philoso-
phical He complimented the county upon
it's wonderful development since his last
holding of court here, four years ago, and
said that the people should be grateful to
God for having such fine county with
its deserved reputation for enlightenment,
public spirit, progress and advancement In
religious, industrial and educational works,
But said he, Il find that you have your
full share of the increase of crime,
which pervades not only this State, but
every State in the Union" He said that
some editors seemed to think that the
cause of this increase in North Carolina
was due to some fault of the Judge, for
getful of the fact, that the judges could
not by themselves execute the law, and
of the further fact. that this increase was
not confined to North Carolina, but ex-
tended all over the country.
He said that the census reports showed
that while there were 2S5 homcldes in
North Carolina there were $50 in Virginia,
$50 in New York, LOO in Texas, while
Kentucky, which was called the dark and
bloody ground, had only 300.
He said that crime seemed to move m
waves, OF like an epidemic of physical
disease, and the only remedy he could sng-
gest was rigid and prompt enforcement
of the law.
In referring to the law against gambling,
he charged the grand jury that dealing
in futures where the commodity was not
purchased outright. was as much CRIME
as shooting craps or playing poker, and
equally as demoralizing to bet on the rise
or fall of the price of cotton stocks or
bonds as upon the color of card on the
strength of a hand AS there are

SOUTH CAROLINA WILL AID IN
THE TOBACCO FIGHT.

| The tobacco situation in South Carolina
| is as it is in North Carolina, and the
Charleston News and Courier, discussing
the movement on foot to organize the to-
tobacco interests of that State to resist
the oppression of the great Tobacco Trust,
known as the American Tobacco Com
pany, says of the present conditions and
low prices:
"This situation means ruin to the bright
tobacco interests unless it can be rene
died. 1t so happens that bright leaf tobac-
CO can only be raised in Virginia, North
Carolina and South Carolina, and that
bright leaf tobacco is an absolute necessity
for the business of the Tobacco Trust In
telligent men in North Carolina know
these facts and have set to work to take
advantage of them by organizing the to-
bacco interests of that State into a League
which shall refuse to sell tobacco to the
Trust under a certain price, and which
shall establish independent factories to use
their tobacco and compete with the Trust.
The tobacco interests of Virginia and
South Carolina will also be organized into
leagues for a similar purpose and then the
league Of the three States will be united
into a Tri-State League.
THAT is the plan of which the initial
move is to be taken by the meeting which
held its first session at Rocky Mount yes
terday.
Meantime the. Tobacco Trust is not I'M
aware of what is going on and is dissent
mating reports intended to deter the farm
ers and warehousemen from attempting
the proposed organization The Trust,
through its agents and representatives
threatens to establish its own tobacco
farms, and its own stores for selling it's
products, and through these stores to sell
other things besides tobacco to compete
with the Independent stores which refuse
to sell the Trusts tobacco. This. of
course would mean a desperate fight, but
there is market enough for all the bright
leaf tobacco that can be grown and manu-
featured and as the Trust must make
some profit on what it produces, there
seems to be no reason why the independent
tobacco factories should not be able to
make a living.
There is no doubt that the tobacco in
terests of North Carolina will be strongly
backed by those of South Carolina. On
the 18th inst a meeting of tobacco men of
the Pee Dee section was held in Florence.
at which resolutions were adopted advo-
eating boycott of the American Tobacco
Company's products and committees were
appointed to carry the resolutions into
effect The feeling is probably the same
throughout the tobacco producing sections
of this State

of giving a mill dam to an institution OF

trustees find it just the thing that is

Already they have planned a practical
use for the mill dam. Upon the mill site
the University will erect water power
