Going After the Trusts.
Statesville Landmark.

Representative Underwood, of Ala
bama, has introduced in the House
of Congress a bill providing that no
person, firm or corporation doing
business with a foreign nation or
among the States of the Union shall
make it a condition of sale of goods
that the purchaser shall not sell
goods, wares or merchandise of any
other firm or company or corpora
ton, under penalty of fine OF not
less than 500 nor more than $500,
or imprisonment not exceeding one
year in the penitentiary. This meas
ure ought to pass The tobacco trust,
and probably other trusts, require
merchants buying their goods to en-
ter into an agreement not to sell to-
bacco manufactured by other con-
Germs. If the merchant refuses to
make this arrangement, the trust
will not sell to him. A Minnesota
merchant refused to enter into the
agreement and undertook to force
the trust to sell to him. The United
States Court decided it had nOpOwer
to force anybody to sell goods to
another, which is all right. But the
trusts ought to be prevented from
forcing anybody into an agreement
as to what they shall do about other
goods.

SORROWS OF THE ORPHAN.

Motheriess Yearn for a rlother's Love

Charity and Children.

Charity and Children.
The children at the orphanage are
happy They are not driven like cat
tie nor punished like slaves. They are
tree to romp and play and give full
vent, within reasonable bounds, to
their childish exuberance. They have
tender and sensible teachers and ma
irons to whom they can go when in
trouble, and when the night time with
its terrors comes, there is ever near
them protector and a refuge where
they can find comfort and peace. But
the orphan has his SORROWS, which
are peculiar to him. He is little vet.
but not too little to yearn for the
wealth of u mothers love. In the
silent watches of the night, some
times, he wakes and longs for home.
The world never hears about it; he
could hardly find language to express
his grief if he were to try. but it is
there all the same. The great empty
place in his heart the world can never
till; the fear he feels, dark and unde-
finable, of walking through the world
alone; the bitterness of living unlike
other children who are kissed and ca
ressed by the strongest and greatest
beng to n child-or to anybody-in
| ali the world. Motherless! Oh, the
unutterable sorrow of that word! We
| do not see the SORROW Alone and in
the dark the child fights the battle
and stains its pillow with it's tears;
| but, bless God, the morning light
| brings healing and peace. 1t is il
blessed thing that child grief is so
short-lived. 1t aits away and leaves
no trace behind, but it cuts deeper
| than some of us think while it does
last. But here is the painful refec-
ton: Onl V IL fraction of the orphan
children OF our State are provided
| with Il home and Christian instruc-
tion and gentle compassion. There
are hundreds of waits and straylings
who have hearts that ache, begrimed
with the dust of the earth, ard soiled
| and stained with the sin that sur
rounds them. Ii Christ was compass
sionate and of tender pity, surely He
must approve an agency whose mis-
sion it is to comfort and save the
most wretched and the weakest of all
the creatures that He has made. Who
would not gladly join his hand with
those who are trying to bring light
into the dark life of the helpless
child? Well. dear sir, or madam, the
way is open before you. Lend a hand.

About North CaroIina's 'Wart Paint
ers."
Wadesboro Observation-Disclosures.

Wadesboro Messenger er-Intelligencer.
In recent years a brood OF fiedg-
lings have been incubated from some
Of the schools of North Carolina who
conceive that their mission on earth
is to belittle and ridicule their native
State. These fellows probaly think
that in calling attention to the real,
or supposed, shortcomings of others
they thereby prove themselves to be
possessed of a superior intelligence,
but if they only knew the estimation
in which they are held by persons
whose opinions are worth anything
they would probably crawl in . hole
and pull the hole in after them.
One Of the charges these smart
Alecks delight to bring against the
State is that people are not allowed
to think here. This simply means, if
the "wart painters" had sense enough
to seeit that North Carolinians, while
not all college graduates, are yet pos
SCISSORS of sufficient intelligence to
detect a sham when they meet it in
the road, and therefore are not to be
carried off their feet by every wind
that blows, even if the breeze is rails
ed by the sophomore eloquence of a
dozen or so swelled heads just out of
school,
Another thing that causes the" "wart
painters" pain is the fact that, as
they claim, that North Carolinians
are in the habit of Dragging on them
selves too much. 1t is true that at
times public speakers and writer's re-
mind us of our past honorable his
tory, but we do not recall that to do
this has heretofore been considered a
crime. Indeed, we have always heard
that an individual or a people who
do not have pretty good opinion OF
themselves need not expect Others to
think much of them
But after all it is a waste of good
white paper to answer the calumnies
of these fellows. The most of them
are youngsters yet, and those who
have any sense will see things in a
different light when they are a little
more experienced. AS for those who
have no sense, it matters not any

Senator. Simmons Puts Quietus on a
Fake Rumor.

Washington, Nov p. 1.-Senator
Simmons denied today the charge
that the firm of Simmons. Pou 4
Ward, of whicI, he was a member, re-
ceived a 81 800 fee for defeating the
London bill before the last legisla-
ture. This question arose in bets
made between Emmett Levy and JnO.
y. Jordan, of Ashevile. The bet was
$40 to ST., and Senator Simmons was
made referee. The matter was pre-
sented to the Senator in the follow
ing telegram from Jordan: Emmett
Levy charges firm of Simmons, Pou
& Ward with having accepted a $500
fee for defeating the London bill, and
that you voted for prohibition in
Raleigh. Is that true?''
The following message in reply was
sent by Senator Simmons to Jordan:
"Levy's statement absolutely false,
except that voted for dispensary in
Raleigh. Firm of Simmons, Pou &
Ward dissolved January 1, 1901"
After sending the telegram Senator
Simmons wrote Mr.. Jordan q long
letter, in which he said, among other
things, that the firm of Simmons,
Pou & Ward, composed of himself,
James Pou, Edward W. Pou and A.
D. Ward, with Offices at Raleigh,
Smithfeld and Newbern, was dissolv-
ed January LIST, 1901, two years be-
fore the introduction of the London
bill. The Senator stated that his
present law firm was that of Sim
mons & Ward, with offices only in
Newbern, and that they did little prac-
tice in Raleigh. Mr.. Simmons further
declared that neither himself nor his
law firm, received one cent, or any
sum to defeat the London bill, or to
promote any other bill before the last
General Assembly. AS to James H.
Pou, a member of the old law firm,
Senator Simmons said that he had
understood that he (Mr. POu) had
been offered a large sum to appear
against the London and other liquor
bills in the Legislature, but declined
the fee, and aided with his influence
materially in passing the Watts bill.
1t is explained in the letter that the
Senator voted for a dispensary and
against distilleries in the Raleigh
election, and that the question of pro-
hibitiOn was not considered.

THE TOBACCO OUTLOOK. =.
Indications Are That the Crop Will be
Materially Reduced in Acreage An
other Year.

| Kinston Free Press.
The tobacco season is now we'll ad-
vanced. So much of it has been sold
and at such prices that we may
prophesy with fair degree of accur-
curacy of the coming years outlook
for the production of the golden
weed.
The season opened with very low
prices on the tobacco market. AS it
advanced there has been some change
in the ruling prices. Tobacco of an
inferior quality has not and will not
bring much money to the producer.
Good tobacco has been selling at a
more satisfactory figure, and in a few
cases has brought highly satisfactory
figures.
While this, in general way, is the
status of tobacco, there is another
important element of the situation
that must not be overlooked. Cotton
is high and has been selling at a good
figure all the fall. The prospects are
that the present high prices will be
maintained for years to come with
some variations Of course.
The fact that the tobacco crop has
not satisfied most farmers together
with the fact that the cotton crop
has done so we'll is significant. This
taken in connection with the fact
that the outlook for tobacco is not
bright, while that for cotton is very
bright reduces the prophecy almost
to a certainty that farmers will turn
their attention from tobacco to cot
ton next year. Not that farmers will
cease raising tobacco entirely. They
will not do that. But the tobacco
crop will undoubtedly be short next
year, for the simple reason that there
is more money in cotton-and farm
ers are not producing either cotton
or tobacco simply for their health OF
body and peace of mind. They want
the money and will naturally put
stress upon their money crops.
The combinations that control the
tobacco market do not want to-
bacco. They declare and we suppose
| it is true, that they have difficulty in
storing that which they have already
bought and are still buying. SO we
needn't look for big prices in tobacco
! for next year. For the trust and the
independent buyers will evidently not
pay a great deal for tobacco next
year. So in the face of such circum-
stances it is reasonable to suppose
that farmers will curtail their pro.
duction and that ''pretty sharply
too.
Tobacco will be raised next year tC
some extent. But Ourpeopfe are apt
to let the trust and other consumers
get "good and hungry" for some o.
the weed before they hurt themselves
in producing it, especially since other
more profitable crops are at hand.
However, we have tobacco now
and it might be iudicious for buyers
in view of future short crops-tC
take up such of the offerings as they
are apt to need in the future. A gooC
time to buy the weed is while it is to
| be had.

opinion, for the maintenance of white

may not know it, but he is fooling with
fire.
The above comes from the Charles

Carolina people are not pleased with
the President. When Teddy was
down there they say he did promise
not to put any colored men in offices
where there was serious objection
when it would engender strife and
stir up bad blood. The President
forgot his promise and set to work
at once to put colored man in a
most important position and this is
the cause of all this trouble.

We may as we'll confess it, for we

The Times is a strong advocate OF

result in much harm to them. The

The AngIo-Saxon is Going to Rule.

Charlotte News.
The negro race, whatever e1cep-
tions there may be, is as unfit for the
exercise of the responsibilities of gov
ernment as children would be. The
exercise OF the ballot is one Of the
functions of self-government. Hayti
and San Domingo, the latter at this
very time, are constantly furnishing
examples of the inability of the negro
race to govern itself. In the South
ern States, since there can be no sep
aration of the races in the sphere of
government. the exercise of the gov
erning privilege involves not only
self-government for each race, but
the government of the other race,
too. The white man belongs to the
ruling race, and the Anglo-Saxon
rules the ruling race wherever he is
found. The Anglo-Saxon of the South
ern States is going to rule both races
in the Southern States, because there
is no alternative. And We respect
fully invite the Dicks and the Crum-
packers and the Roosevelts, too, to
put that in their Congressional or

Gigantic locomotives for the Southern
Reidsville Review.

Reidsville Review.
The three largest locomotives ever
seen in the South passed through
Reidsville one day last week. They
belong to the Southern and are for
use on the Atlanta division. They
are the first consignment of an order
for 30 which was placed by the
Southern sometime ago. Each of the
great engines is known as a ten
wheeler, and each has capacity for
hauling many hundred tons over the
steepest grades. One OF these engines
can do the work that now requires
two engines and can pull a string OF
cars extending long distance. On
account of their excessive height the
smoke-stacks are only 1S inches
above the boilers and really make
hardly any show at all. The weight
of each engine is something more
than 12O tons, the heaviest ever seen
here before weighing 90 tons. The
tenders hold Is tons of coal and
5000 gallons Of water. The power
of these engines is almost unlimited
and they are expected to pull the
heaviest trains over any grade on
the road without any trouble.
