The State Corporation Commission had
intended to give up the past week 10
final conference on the question OF llN-

sllmed so much time and to announce
the rules promulgated to the. public on

Tho serious Illness. however, of Mrs.
Henry c. Stuart, of Russell, wife OF
Commissioner Stuart, has prevented this

until Mr. Stuart can be here.
Mrs Stuart is at Atlantic City and her
husband was summoned there early IN
tho week. Later DR.. George Ben. john
ston, Of this city. and other distinguish
ed physicians have been called In attends
ance and 1t ia understood that the condi-
ton of Mrs. Stuart Is very serious. The
commission had also Intended TO take q
recess in August and utilize some of the

the enforced absence of Mr.. Stuart may
prevent this and keep the members here
during the summer.

out Of the beaten path of travel. Mays
Head Is on strip of land consisting OF
a solid sand-bank, about half to three
quarters of mile wide, with Albemarle
Sound on the east and the ocean on the
west. A delightful breeze blows con-
stantly, either from the ocean or the
sound, and the very place seems impreg-
mated with salt. About two miles across
the sound lies Roanoke Island, famed for
being the site of the first English settle
ment in America. At Fort Raleigh. near
Manteo, on Roanoke Island, a little fish
ing village, directly opposite Nays Head,
is the tomb Of Virginia Dare, the first
English child born in America.
The fishing in the sound Is splendid; the
principal varieties caught being croakers.

When the coal famine was at its
worst last fall and anthracite might be
had in quarter ton parcels as person
al favor for $26 ton, there were some
efforts made to import coal. The only
cargoes the public ever heard of as ar
irving in this country were couple
that Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan assisted
over here in charity for the poor.
There has never been tariff on hard
coal that had any effect or which could
have any effect under the sun on the
local coal market. If hard coal were
to go to 500 ton and stay there year,
it might look like coal imports" as
they say of gold in connection with the
market for sterling exchange, but it is
improbable that any coal would come.
To sweep off from top to bottom the
tariff on coal Of every grade and quail
ity is mistake. 1t is mistake to do
so even for one year. 1t is concession
to. desperate situation in the local
question Of supply and demand, but a
concession which can have no other eff
feet than smash at the tariff to satis-
fly an ignorant clamor without gaining
one possible benefit, but with the large
and threatening probability Of injuring
q part of our coal mining industry,
which has never been concerned in the
strike beyond assisting the consumers
to exist until anthracite were again in
the market.-Jersey City Journal.

ORGANIZING A GRANGE.
Look Well to the Charter Member

Look Well to the Charter Member
ship Roll.
Hon. Aaron Jones, master of the ma
tional grange, speaks wisely when he
says:
Care should be used in getting good
charter members. They are the founda-
ton on which the future usefulness of
the grange will rest. With good charter
members the grange will grow in num-
bers, in usefulness and influence and be of
great benefit to the Order at large and of
great advantage to its own members. I'm
less you can organize a grange of the best
men and women in the location where the
grange is to be organized do not organize
grange at all.
Every grange deputy should commit
to memory the last sentence above
quoted. This rule carefully observed
would save trouble later on. Lay well
your foundations in establishing a
grange Your best citizens are none
too good. Organize well or not at all.
Objectionable men and women can be
kept out after the organization is form
ed, but it Is often a difficult matter to
prevent their joining as charter men,
bers. Use tact at tfiis point. The dep
uty's responsibility just here is great,
but he should meet it unfinchingly,

Those who are unhappy because the
United States does not buy more Of
foreign countries than it sells to them
should feel encouraged by the fact that
under protection prosperity we are rap
idly increasing the volume Of our pur-
chases from the outside world. In
January, 1903, our total imports were
$S5, 5,1O9,8 800, the largest in the history
of our commerce. We are now close to
the billion dollar line. The total i'm
ports for twelve months ending with
January, 1908, were $975, 5,2S3.637. Add
to this the $2OO,OO0,OO0 year which
we pay to foreigners for carrying our
oversee freights in foreign ships, the
$75,0OO,000 which American tourists
spend abroad every year and the $75,-
100000 which we annually disburse to
foreign holders of American invest
ment stocks, bonds and securities and
we have a total Of $1,350, 100000 in
purchases from foreigners. The Ding
ley tariff is not such terrible Chinese
wall, after all.

BRYAN'S POSITION.
He Reads the Riot Act to the BO1ts
ers of 1895 and 1000.

He Reads the Riot Act to the BOlts
ers OF 1896 and 1900.
According to New York dispatch in
the anti i-Bryanite Memphis Commercial
Appeal, William ]. Bryan has present
ed his ultimatum to the Democratic
party. In calling attention to the ex-
candidates demand that the nominee
of 1904 shall subscribe to the Kansas
City platform the dispatch says: "Mr.
Bryan is serving notice on the men who
deserted him in 1896 that he holds the
power to make or unmake them, just
as they did him. These are the men
who now are willing to be guided by
the counsels of Grover Cleveland, Da-
vid B. Hill, William G. Whitney and a
score or so of others. Bryan's friends
intimate that, while he is not to be a
candidate again, he will be in posi-
ton to place an Independent ticket in
the field that, they declare, will poll
as many votes as that nominated by
the regular party"
This is the sort of talk that will be
heard right along until after the can
vass Of 1904. Bryan can destroy the
chance, the very slight chance, that
any Of his Democratic enemies have of
being able to carry the country next
year. He is in a position to get even
with the men who bolted his candidacy
in 1896 and 1900, and he will utilize 1t.
He would prefer to vote for Repub-
lican than to give his support to any
of the Cleveland or Hill element Of
the Democracy. Moreover, his antip-
athies have a wide range and include
such anti Cleveland and anti-Hill men
as German Whether he would sup
port Olney is not known, but probably
he would not.
Here is peril which confronts the
Democracy. Having giants strength,
Bryan Is going to use 1t like giant.
If man personally distasteful to him
gets the candidacy in 19O4-and the
probability is that some such man will
be put up-Bryan will undoubtedly
lead a bolt against him, as the Cleye-
landites did against him in the two re-
cent elections. Probably Bryan does
not expect any more favors from the
national Democracy. He will never be
put up for president again by the reg
ular Democratic convention. He has a
future, however, in his own section
provided his party ever again comes to
the front. In all the states west Of the
Mississippi Bryan's is still name to
conjure by. He can be elected gov
ernor of Nebraska or sent to the SEN
ate from that state If his party regains
power during his lifetime. Meanwhile
he will take revenge by striking his
Democratic enemies as savagely as
they hit him in 1900 and 1896.-St. Lou

The Purpose of Reciprocity.

Reciprocity was as little understood
In 1897 as it Is now. Senator Dolliver
did not understand 1t at that time any
better than he seems to understand it
at this time. He evidently believes
that the purpose of reciprocity is to
make lower duties and thus encourage
importations. Such is the prevailing
purpose of reciprocity at the present
time. Blaine's reciprocity, which the
Democrats repealed, increased exporta-
