Freeholders Find Lots to DE-

Freeholders Find Lots to Do.
A special meeting of the Board of
Chosen Freeholders, called for Mon
day, was held in Stoe Creek town
ship, fifteen of the twenty members of
the Board being present at the Seventh
Day Mills where the session was held.
The Board discovered that the storm
had wrought serious ravages out in
that locality. Mill dams had burst,
carrying great bodies of water over
the roadways and washing out bridges
as if they were built of paper. No
less than seven bridges in the town
ship were entirely destroyed, and the
roadway was badly damaged in many
places.
The members of the Board personal
ly inspected the serious proposition
that was before them previous to their
meeting and determining what must
be done.
1t was finally agreed by the Board
that the bridges should be replaced. It
was decided that all of the structures
should sbe iron girder bridges upon
solid masonry foundations. It was
further decided that the work should
be let, by contract, to the lowest re-
sponsible bidders.
Messrs. Garrison, Bacon, Richman,
Rogers and Hires were appointed a
committee to prepare plans and specifi-
ccations for the work, and advertise
for bids.
1t is estimated by good judges that
the work will cost at least $1,000.

decision was written by Judge Harlan and con-
CURED in by Justices Brown, Brewer, McKenna
and Day, while Chief Justice Fuller and Justices
White, Peckham and Holmes dissented.
The directors of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern Railroad Companies, it will be
remembered, delegated the management of the
two roads to a "Securities Company" and this
was composed of the stockholders of the two
competing lines. Thus while it was unlawful for
the two roads to combine, the effect of the merger
was to place them under the control of one COM
pany and destroy all competition between them.
The Supreme Court decided that this was a VIOLA
ton of the Sherman Antitrust Law and there
fore unlawful. Justice Harlan's opinion declares
that "the act is not limited to restraints of inter-
state and international trade or commerce that
are unreasonable in their nature, but is directed
against all direct restraints, reasonable or I'M
reasonable, imposed by any combination, con-
mcrce;" that combinations, even among private
manufacturers or dealers, whereby interstate or
international commerce is restrained, are equally
embraced by the act" and it further sets forth
and the power acquired by the holding company
as trustee for the combination constitute a
menace to and restraint upon that freedom of
commerce which Congress intended to recognize
and protect, and which the public is entitled to
have protected"

President Adams to Tobacco Growers.
Editors Progressive Farmer:

Editors Progressive Farmer:
DR.. III. F. Freeman's article in a recent number
of your paper prompts me to make this sugges-
ton. Let DIR. Freeman and others interested in
organizing the farmers name a time and place
for a State mass-meeting of tobacco growers.
Get out a full and representative body, and ar
range to put an organizer to work in each county.
I fully agree with him that the farmers are
ready, and all that is needed is to hold meetings
in every neighborhood and present the plan.
This has been proven so far as the work has gone
in Virginia. We are perfecting our county or
CARNATIONS and putting organizers in each
county.
My time has been occupied by this work and
will be until about April Is. I will be at Yancy-
vile April court, to start the work in that coun-
ty and would be very glad to meet as many as
possible from other counties in your State that
we may map out a line of work for North Caro-
line.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

He that seeketh victory over his nature, let
him not set himself too great nor too small tasks;
for the first will make him detected by often fail
ing, and the second will make him a small pro-
ceeder, though by often prevailings. .......
Where nature is mighty, and therefore the vic
tory hard, the degrees had need be, first to stay
and arrest nature in time Qike to him who would
say over the alphabet when angry; then to go
less in quantity Gas if one should, in forbear-
ing wine, come from drinking healths to a
draught at a meaD and, lastly, to discontinue
altogether. But if a man have the fortitude and
esolution to enfranchise himself at once, that is
the best.-From Lord Bacon's Essay, "Of Nature
in Men,"

In the Russo-Japanese War last week there
were no new development of Importance. Both
combatants are pursuing a policy of inactivity;
as to whether or not it is mastery inactivity"
we do not know. The prevailing opinion is that
the longer action is delayed, the more favorable
will be Russia's chances of success. General
Kuropatkin, the Russian commander, is quoted as
saying: II do not know whether any great action
will occur before July, but ] hope to finish before
the end of the year and leave the field clear to

up of the conditions of peace" On Wednesday

Sully's Failure, and the Effect on Cotton Prices.

The failure Qast friday of Daniel ]. Sully, the
leader of the bull movement on the Cotton Tx
change for months past, came like a thunderbolt
from a clear sky. The Associated Press thus de-
scribes the scene on the Exchange following the
sensational announcement of the Suly Company:
For a few seconds there was an ominous quiet
over the floor as though the news had stunned all
within hearing of the announcement. Then with
one impulse a mighty shout went up from the
bears, those who had been fighting Sully and the
bull clique for months. Hats were thrown into
the air to fall where they would, a moment later
to be t~rampled upon by the stampede, for coats
were torn by frantic brokers in their mad efforts
TO unload their holdings, and chairs and camp
stools were dashed into the pit, to emphasize some
wild brokers' offer to sell. Messengers soon were
rushing in and out of the building with orders to
sell or buy; telephone booths were besieged, and
telegraph offices were flooded with dispatches.
Outside the Cotton Exchange appearances gave
little indication of the pandemonium within until
the messengers began to rush between the Ex-
change and the brokers' Offices. Soon the news
reached the Stock, Produce and Coffee Exchanges,
and traders on these markets fastened to the
scene of the panic. Crowds assailed the entrance
to the visitors gallery but a double guard was
placed at the doors, and admittance was refused
to all but those accompanied by members. It was
estimated that something like three quarters of a
million bales of cotton we're traded in during the
twenty minutes of the panic that followed the an
~nOuncement, and that of this, upward of half a
million bales represent enforced liquidation' or
the selling out of men whose margins have been
nearly or quite wiped out. AS the market slumped
$50 points during this period the loss falling on
this element amounted to something over a mil
lion dollars"
Prices on May cotton dropped from 1926 to
1865, but advanced before the close of business
to 1887.
Sully's losses are said to be about So, OOO, 900.
Prices will doubtless rally somewhat after the
market RECEIVERS from the unsettling caused by
this sudden shock.
