THE TRUST WANTS TO HOG IT
ALL.

DR.. Blalock of Panther Branch town
that tobacco is sixty-six and two-thirds
per cent. lower than last year at this time
And vet trust organs and apologlsts keep
on trying to defend the trust by distorting
or SURPRISING the truth.
To show exactly what the trust is doing
for the farmer, let the record be kept be-
for the people:
l. 1t Is paying him &c % per cent. less
for tobacco than it is worth because it
and the Imperial Company have abolished
competition.
2. By the help of misguided farmers, il
secured a reduction of six cents in the tax
on tobacco, making the farmer believe
that he would be benefited by this reduc
ton.
g. 1t has increased the price of the
manufactured product three cents in the
pound
These facts, brought out by Mr.. Jesse
Brake IN the Rocky Mount convention,
show the rapacity of the tobacco trust
Its desire to hog it all is solely respon-
sible for the present low price of tobacco,
price that means starvation to growers
of the weed.
Keep these facts before all people who
use tobacco or grow it to the end that
they may see the importance of support
ing and building up independent concerns
1t is to them that the people should look
for measure of relief. The tobacco grow.
er or the user, who buys the product of
the tobacco trust is helping the trust in
its present policy of starvation price to
farmers.

the bill of costs which our people will
have to pay will be immeasurably in
creased, and the day of final reckoning
long deferred.
Saloons also reduce the earnings of the
people. They are the bane of all indus
trial and commercial undertakings Every
large factory is injured, and all large
commercial enterprises have been har-
raised by them.
A city afflicted with saloons is not the
best field for launching great enterprises
of any kind, because the unrestricted sale
of liquors is the worst disorganizer of
labor.
Some whiskey will certainly be sold
The thing to do therefore is to control
its sale, absolutely, reduce the quantity
to the minimum, handle it at the small
est possible cost, add the full profit of
80 per cent allowed by the law, use this
profit for educating the rising generation
and lessening the rate of taxation which
just now is sore burden to our peo-
pie.
How can this be done?
You can certinly reduce the expense,
and most assuredly improve the pres
ent deplorable conditions by voting for
dispensary. Under the law it will re-
main open from sunrise to shutdown, and
it will close twenty three saloons open
nineteen hours out of twenty-four. Let

while another does not consider any
one poor who has an income of $500 a
year, says a writer in Leslie's Weekly.
1t is manifestly impossible to fix any
limit in matter like this. Very much
depends upon the locality and the con-
ditiOns and surroundings of the indi
vidual. An income that would be
amply sufficient to insure a family a
comfortable home, excellent social ad-
vantages and good living in a coun-
try village would mean many priva-
tons and sore discomforts in any large
city.
On the whole, however, we are in
clincd to believe that Max O'RelIs
views on the point under discussion
come nearer the safe and common
sense rule than anything we have seen.
II do not care" he says, ''how small
the income of a man is, he should never
spend the whole Of it, especially if he
has Il wife and Children He should
at least save enough to pay every year

INCENTIVE TO EFFORT,
The LESSON LincOln's Life Teaches til

1t is hulNnn nature to take it easy
when we can, and With most people Il
big bank account will paralyze effort
and destroy ambition. Who can tell
what would have been the effect on

coin been born in luxury, surrounded
with great libraries, free to the multi
form advantages of schools colleges
and universities, the manifold oppor-
slows? Who shall say whether the alb
sence of all incentive to effort might
not have smothered such,a genius?
What wealthy, city bred youth of to-
day, glutted with opportunities for ac
curing knowledge, can feel that hun,
ger for books, that thirst for knowledge
that spurred Lincoln to scour the viii
derness for many miles to borrow the
coveted Life of Washington" which
he had heard that some one in the
neighborhOOu owned?
What young lawyer of our day goes
to law school or library with such a
keen appetite, with such ycarning for
legal knowledge, as this youth had
when he actually walked forty-four
miles to borrow Blackstone's "Commen-
taries?'
Where is the student in college or
university today who experiences that
satisfaction, that sense of conquest
which thrilled Lincoln while lying on

AS this is the season when the
apple plant louise, or as it is COM
monty known, the apple aphis are
beginning to hatch, perhaps gentle
reminder from the inspector would
assist in the determination of the

II is to begin early, l will state that
the first insect to hatch at the age
of Is days will begin to reproduce
and all succeeding generations will
reproduce at the age of 10 days,
throughout the summer. So trees
should be sprayed within the next 7
days and again s or 10 days LATER
and if thoroughly done, we should
not be bothered any more this sum
mer, unl55s neighbors neglect to
spray. 1t has been impossible here
tofore, to get soap which would be
effective withcut the quassia chips,
but / am satisfied that good tobacco
whale oil soap is what We have been
looking after
One pound of the above soap dis
solved in six gallons of water will
