ANOTHER CANDIDATE FOB GOVERNOR,
Said That Mr.. L Banks Hollis Friends Will
Urge His Candidacy.

The Salisbury Sun says that there IS
another candidate to be reckoned within
the gubernatorial contest, that his friends
propose to push his claims and that the
gentleman referred to is Mr.. l.. Banks
Holt, of Graham, one of the most proml-
nent cotton manufacturers in the South.
This statement is authorized by
prominent politician said to be of East
ern North Carolina, who was interviewed
by the Sun representative and who said
Mr.. Holt has not yet come to any de-
cision with reference to this matter-in
fact he has been only casually consulted
with reference to a suggestion of his
proposed candidacy-but there are as
surances of support from all sections of
the State in the event that he should
decide to announce his candidacy"

A SENSIBLE PLAN.

No matter how black the night the
dawn will come, and no matter how
gloomy a present there are those who
can see the brightness beyond.
The Nashville Graphic is doing this. 1t
is near the storm centre of the trust OPP
erations against the tobacco growers, but
yet from the very depression that has
come because of the monopoly of the
American Tobacco Company it draws a
splendid lesson in these words:
lone good effect the low price of to-
bacco is having upon the farmers of the
country is that it is awakening them to
the fact that there is one sensible way in
which they can battle against the trusts,
and that is by diversifying their crops
and raising their own home supplies, and
using less of trust goods. The trusts
cannot seriously effect or starve the farm
er who has a barn full of corn and feed
a we'll cultivated garden with a varied
assortment of vegetables, one or two good
COWS, a yard full of chickens, and a
smoke house full of homemade hams and
bacon. The farmer in this condition can
bid defiance to the trusts"
The Graphic is right. The farmer who
lives at home can bid defiance to any
trust and to all trusts. AS it affects
him he holds the solution in his OWL
hands and if he will live up to his oppor
tunities the exactions of the trusts are
not apt to get the best of him.

Sentenced for Manslaughter.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Tarboro, N. c., Sept. 1S.-The jury has
returned a verdict of manslaughter in the
case of W. A. Grey, who killed his step
father. The sentence was eighteen months
in the penitentary The facts in the case
were these: Gray was first struck with
a stick by his step-father Bryant. Mad
dened at this he went off and found a
brick, which he threw at him, infiicting
a fatal wound. The defense pleaded justi-
fication, that Gray was on his own prem
ises, and that when Bryant advanced to-
wards him he threw the brick. The evil
dence did not quite bear out this conten-

that Bryant was not advancing, but stand
ing still when he was struck.
The grand jury has returned true bill
for murder against Henrietta Bullock. 1t
is not likely that the State will contend
for first degree.

KEROSENE's NEW FREAK.

And of all the dopes the latest reported
seems to be the freakiest.
Our old familiar friend, who knew us
before gas and electricity and Welsbach
Is now presented to us as a sort of DR..
|ekyll-Mr. Hyde combination.
1t is kerosene of which the expose has
been made, and its depravity is not that
of blowing up careless kitchen maids who
start the fires, but it is of a deeper type
OF depravity than this.
For they say that it is in the nature of
a rival 10 alcohol, and that where it is
get-at-able in large quantities it is doing
its work among young lads, who, because
of their years, are in a measure pro-
tected from the evil of strong drink and
the deadening of drugs.
Kerosene inebrity'' is the term given
to the new dope, and it is said to be a
common thing in some cities. The boys
climb upon tank cars, place their noses
over the manhole and thus inhale the
fumes. The effect produced is similar
to that derived from alcohol. First a
feeling of exhilaration, then period OF
stupor and following is the period of
deep sleep.
What is to be expected next no man
can say for when the trusted servant of
the house, kerosene that starts fires and
smuts lamp chimneys, wanders off as a
dope artist, we will have to look with sus-
picion upon the ink bottle.

According to the Monroe Enquirer the
people who bring fire wood there are up
against the real thing in the way of a
trust. 1t says that the wood sellers held
day, the object of the meeting being to
raise the price of firewood on that mar
ket. A pledge was drafted by which it
was agreed to sell pine wood for not
less than 50 a cord nor oak wood for
less than $3.50 cord. 1t was agreed
that any signer of the pledge who sells
one half of the selling price of the wood.
