The American Girls Joke.

Miss Gladys Deacon, an American
girl, amazed scientist whom she met
recently at a London dinner party, The
scientist narrated in great detail to the
girl a series OF experiments he was con-
Quoting with the microphone. The
microphone," he explained, "magnifies
sounds to the ear as the microscope
magnifies objects to the eye, The foot
falls OF centipede heard through the
microphone resemble 4 tattoo on ket-
tlcdrum The dropping OF pin is like
the report OF cannon" That is very
interesting and odd" said Miss Deacon,
This afternoon" resumed the scientist,
Il caught a fly and studied its note,
The note resembled the neighing oi a
horse" Perhaps said the young girl,
1T was a hor ehy.'

HOT TIME ON THE
OCEANIC WHARF

The Oceanic wharf was crowded with
people yesterday afternoon when the
steamer Sonoma sailed for San Fran
cisco and there was a happening or
two there which caused considerable
fun. The band was present.
Useless Harris, a well known
negro character of Honolulu who re-
Gently made n trip to Australia on one
of the Oceanic boats as waiter had
been seeing the town" all day with
some sailors who were on their way
home from Page Pago. They arrived
on the dock in a hilarious mood Short
" after going aboard they passed out
a big parcel of Samoan war clubs, mats,
tapas, and other curios to Harris. inc
latter gentleman of color was happy.
He was waving happy alohas to his
friends when little man in a blue
uniform and wearing a felt hat, Gus
toms Inspector Weldon, rushed on him
and took the curios away. No duty had
been paid on these and Uncle Sam is
particular regarding the bringing OF
curios here unless they enter the port
through the recognized and legal Gus
tom House channels. Mr.. Harris got
excited. His sailor friends on the
steamer saw his predicament and
straightway got a letter ready which
he could use in an attempt to get the
stuff back from the Custom House.
Harris saw this and ran madly down
the dock to get II. The sailors threw
it overheard and it fell too far out for
Harris to reach it. In reaching he fell
between the steamer and the wharf and
oply biG feet showed above the wharf.
Men ran to pull him back up on the
wharf but Harris shouted! Let me
alone let me alone" He was told that
he was not on the wharf and that an
effort was being made to help him back
up to that place.
well, my feet are there, aren't
they" he shouted back.
Finally the angry eX-pugilist was got
back on the wharf and sharply COM
manded to keep quiet.
BY this time the steamers gang plank
had been taken in and she was moving
away Two tourists rushed on the
wharf and wanted TO go aboard. rope
ladder was lowered for them. Leis We're
being stacked on them by bystanders
and each man got out a cigar and light
ed it. The band played on and the
crowd cheered and jeered as the two
men struggled up the ladder to the deck
of the vessel.

TOO MUCH SUGAR
in THE MARKET

Willett & Grays circular has the fol-
lowing:
The week has developed an easier
sellers to make a further concession.
Sales We're effected at $3.50. duty paid
for West India Centrifugals, SO deg.
test. on the spot, which could not be
repeated and brought out offerings at
&c. c. and f. for cuba shipment equal
to 1l-32c. per h., duty PAID. The
easier feeling is due to the heavy ar
rivals, with the prospect that the re-
ceipts for some time to come, from
Cuba alone, will be more than suiii-
cient for refiners' requirements.
Some planters need lunds and as n
consequence, sugars ave offered to re-
fners faster than needed, causing an
expense for carrying, which muet be
offset by a reduction in price. There
is evidently too much sugar in the
world, the London market feelir% the
effect of this in decline for the week
of gid. TO Sd. in beet sugar Appar-
emily the return to normal prices can
only be brought about by heavy re-
duction in European beet sowings this
spring. At the close 10000 bags Cuba
Centrifugals for shipment Were placed
at &c. c. and f., basis 96 deg. test equal
TO 11-S2c. duty paid, thus establishing
a define of sc. for the week.
REFINED.-Undel a steady, fair de-
mand in the form of Withdrawals
against old contracts, quotations have
remained unchanged, end at the close
there are no signs of any immediate
change. New business, however, has
been light, in view of the weak market
for raws, the demand at the close, be-
ing on a hand to mouth basis.

KILLED ON RAILROAD NEAR MAJOLICA.
8. A. Kyle, SeotheTa's Agent at PIott's
Horribly Mangjed, 49,

B. A. Kyle, a young man about
30 years of age, agent for the
Southern at Plott's, q small sta
ton on the Western Division
eight miles west of S~tatesville,
was found dead on the track this
side of Majolica, a station six
miles west of Salisbury, Friday
morning. Mr.. Kyle was literally
ground up and it was with diff
cultv that the remains we're iden-
titled, being necessary to gather
them up in bags,
It is thought he vas killed by
east bound passenger train No.
- Thursday night. Just how the
accident occurred no one seems to
know. It is said that he had a
sick aunt near the place of his
death whom he intended to visit
and while attempting to get off
the train by some means got under
the wheels. Another story has it
that he was killed and put on the
track, but this is very improbable.
His remains swere brought here,
prepared for interment and re-
turned to Plotts Friday night.
Mr.. Kyle was the son of a promi-
nent Iredell farmer and leaves a
wife and two children.

Interstate Commerce and jug Laws.

In commenting on the decision
of the United States Supreme
Court upholding the Iowa Anti
Cigarette law, the News and OBJ
server says it Twill probably have
a bearing upon the "Anti-Jug'
and like police legislation" Pos
sibly, the News and Observer has
overlooked the following very re-
cent decisions:
The Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States reversed the decision of
the Supreme Court of Iowa in the
cases involving the construction
Of the Iowa prohibitory livuor
law, the opinion in each case be-
Ing handed down by Justice
White. In the first case, that of
the American Express Company,
against the State of Iowa, the
State authorities seized certain
packages of liquor sent c. o. d.,
from Rack Island. ILL.,, to Tama,
Iowa, and their destruction was
ordered.
The Supreme Court of Iowa sus-
tanned this proceeding, but the
Judgment was reversed on the
ground that it is in contravention
Of the federal constitution. JUS
tice White added that if such a
practice was carried to it's legltl-
mate conclusion and the various
States given authority to control
G. 0. D. shipments of merchan-
disc from II state to another
much of the interstate business of
the country would be placed at
the mercy Of the States. He also
said that the position taken by the
lower court that the question Of
interstate commerce. Is not involv-
ed in the case is not tenab]e, the
court hello was the principal point
involved.
The other case was that of the
Adams Express Company vs.. the
State of Iowa, and involved the
same question as the American
Company's case, except that in
the Adams Cornpany's case the
proceeding was decided against
the company on the charge of
maintaining a. house for the sale
of liquor. In this. as in the first
case. the State court was reversed
on the ground that the judgment
is al Interference with trade be-
tween the States .-Wilmington

COTTON PLANTERS IN CONVENTION.
Az EthuslastlG Gathering Satuday. Reso-
buttons and Committees.

At the nesting Of the cotton
planters held here Saturday, Capt.
J. A. Fisher presided and Prof.
F. B. Brown acted as secretary,
The following resolutions we're
passed and committees appointed:
Whereas, The welfare of the
South depends upon obtaining a
fair price for our cotton crop and
believing that speculation togeth-
er with a large crop of cotton are
the prime causes of the low prices
now prevailing, and believing that
the only remedy for the said de-
preston are to curtail the acreage
in cotton at least on%e-fourth and
to withhold as much cotton from
the market as possible until we
shall obtain such prices as will
justify us to raise it
And, Whereas, it is the object
of this meeting to obtain unity of
action upon the part of all farm
ers and those interested in their
welfare,
Therefore be it resolved,
1st, That we withhold as much
cotton now on hand from the
market as we can possibly do, I'M
til we shall obtain at least ten
cents for middling cotton, and
such prices al will justify raising.
End, That we pledge ourselves
to reduce acreage of cotton for the
year 1905 at least one-fourth.
3rd, That we all promise, where
possible to store our cotton at
home and to keep it out of the
hands of those who can make use
of it to fill future contracts to the
detriment of better prices.
4th, That we condemn the deal.
ing IN futures as a species of gamb-
ling detrimental to the best inter-
est of the cotton farmers of the
South.
9Th. That a committee of five
be appointed in each township to
see the cotton raisers in said town
ships aud ascertain how much
they will reduce their acreage in
cotton and report at next meet
