COMMISSIONERS TO
MEET TO-DAY.
Probable That Only Routine Matters
Will Come Before Them.

The October meeting of County
Commissioners will be held this after
noon at 4 o'clock. So far as could be
learned yesterday only matters of
routine business will come before them.
Several bills that were presented at
the last session and turned over to
special committees for reports will be
taken up and acted upon.
Bids for supplies will be opened and
contracts awarded. Supt. Chaplin will
make his monthly report on the con-
dition of the convict camps and the
work that has been done during Sep
TENDER by the prisoners. Unless there
is some interesting feature in new busi-
ness the meeting will be short one
and devoted only 10 the routine work.

WILL AWARD MONEY
PRIZES MONDAY NIGHT,
Military Companies viii Receive
Rewards for Attendance.


Three money prizes of SIS each will
be awarded to companies of the first
Regiment by Col. G. A. Gordon, Mon
day night at the regimental headquar-
tiers.
These prizes were offered some time
ago for the second quarter records by
the companies as follows: SOS for the
company showing the best attendance
during the quarter $25 to the company
showing the largest number of new
enlistments during the quarter and $25
to the company showing the greatest
improvement in attendance during the
quarter. The quarter runs from April
l to June 30 inclusive. No prizes for
the third and fourth quarter were Of
fered as the regiment was interrupted
in it's tour of duty here by the absence
of the companies at Manassas.
A large attendance of the members
is anticipated for Monday night, and
there is much speculation as to the
winners of the prizes.

MONEY SHOULD BE THE SLAVE
OF THE MAN.

There is not a little difference be-
tween Rockefeller's life, as told bv
Ida M. Tarbill and as told by Rookie
Teller himself. Her story shows that
he won large success by the destruc-
ton of competitors and by the employ
ment of illegal and unworthy means
Rockefeller attributes it all to start
ing right and to industry and saving
Here is how he explained his start on
the road to fortune:
GAS / was saving little sums

interest for $50 loaned at per cent
the legal rate in the State of New
York at that time for a year-as I
could earn by digging potatoes 10
days The impression was gaining
ground with me that it was good
thing to let the money be my slave and
not make myself a slave to money. l
have tried to remember that in every
sense. 1 think money is q good thing
to have if we know how to use it prop
erly. / think it is very harmful to
many people, because they do not
know how to use it properly"
There is world of sense in Mr..
RockefeTer's statement, cit was q
good thing to let the money be my
slave and not m, Ike myself a slave to
money" That lesson needs to be
learned by those who are not rich as
we'll as by the rich. Those of us who
have little of this worlds goods are
wont to pass on such advice to the
very rich, when it is perhaps needed
by those struggling to get rich as well
as by those who have amassed for
tune. There are men with small for
tunes who are more grasping than
those with millions, those whose ca
gerness to get rich makes them the
slave of the dollars, those who cut
short their lives in the mad rush for
wealth. They are as surely slaves of
money as the rich miser who boards
his dollars.
Money is a good thing to have if
we know how to use it properly" wise
ly says Mr.. Rockefeller. "He could
not stand prosperity is the verdict
upon many whose success has proved
their ruin. Money was harmful to
them because they "did not know how
to use it properly"

FIGHTING INCREASED FREIGHT
RATES.

The retail and wholesale merchants
are sensibly getting together in the
fight against the proposed increase in
freight rates in North Carolina. A
more indefensible and unjust burden
upon merchants and consumers has
never been projected. 1t was based
solely upon the idea:
,a LET him take who has the power,
And let him keep who cam
Elsewhere we print an interview
with Mr.. Norman H. Johnson, general
counsel of the Merchants Association,
Who has just completed tour of the
State to get the sentiment of the mer-
chants and jobbers on the protest
AGAINST the increase in rates. He finds
that the jobbers and retail merchants
are united in opposition to the pro-
posed increase in freight rates, refus-
ing to be made the monkeys to pull
the chestnuts out of the fire for the
railroads.
Allusion has already been made to
the action taken by the wholesale mer-
chants and millers at their meeting in
Fayetteville last week. 1t passed reso-
lutions earnestly petitioning the rail-
roads to grant further postponement
for putting into effect" the higher
rates.
What North Carolina jobbers need,
and what they are entitled to re-
ceive. is the same carload rate that
is given TO Ivnchburs, and other Vir-
ginia cities. If, instead of fighting for
that rate, they acquiesce in a higher
local rate that Expresses consumer and
retail merchant, they will be endorsing
higher rates and will soon secure the
same increase upon themselves. The
only true policy is to fight all increases
and demand the same rates that are
given to other States Nothing else
will help jobbers. Nothing less is just!

New ASPECT Of Death.

Not long ago in Philadelphia, Rev.
DR.. H. C. Trumbull, who had been for
nearly thirty years editor of the Sun
day School Times, died No funeral
like the one when that good man died
had before been held in Philadelphia.
1t is thus described editorially in the
Press of that city:
cit is common to say of an affecting
occasion that there was hardly a dry
eye in the house. In this case the
stereotyped phrase could be changed
to there was hardly a wet eye in the
house 1t was almost a fearless fun
eral: not that DR.. Trumbull was not
loved, or that he will not be deeply
missed; few men had won more ar
dent affection than he, or made for
themselves a place in the lives of
more people. But the real greatness
of this departed man revealed itself
in that the instructive thought of all
those at his bier was one of rejoicing
over his brave, tender, fruitful life.
He died q victor, vindicating lii the
end of his career the truths that ne
taught throughout its length. Intense
love facing a coffin with Jubilatlon
in its heart, is nothing less than
triumph of religion. The eloquent
lips of Dr. Trumbull in life never
preached a greater sermon than was
preached yesterday by his silent
form -

An Old scotchman's Death.

Rev. G. A. G.. Thomas, of Edenton,
in concluding funeral sermon on the
burial of a good woman, said:
''An old Scotchman lay dying. His
daughter sat watching by his side. 1t
was Sunday evening and the church
bells were ringing. The old man
thought he was going to church across
the river. He said, 'Hark! children,
the bells are ringing; we shall be late;
we must make the mare step quicker"
Then shivering as il cold, he said:
Pull the robe up closer, my lass; it's
cold crossing the river, but We'll soon
be there, Well soon be there" Then
a bright smile played over his face
and he said: "Just there now, just
there now" He had reached, not the
church over the river, but Our Faith
er's House" beyond the skies. And SO
it is with every child of God; death is
going home to "Our Fathers House"
Death is entrance into everlasting
glory with God and the loved ones
gone before. Paul had been faithful
in life and henceforth was the crown
and not for him alone, but for all
who are faithful unto death"

PUT 1T ON EXHIBITION.

That is a fine way of contracting

gestion of Governor Aycock that the

LETS SEEK IN THE MIDDLE WEST
The Danger of An Eastern President
of The United States.

To the Editor: The interests Of
New York and New England are prac-
tlcally Identical upon the question of
controlling the powers of the general
government for purposes of monopoly.
Upon the tariff, upon the money ques-
ton, upon internal improvements,
upon the distribution OF the spoils of
office they are united against the
South and West. The election of any
candidate from that section, whether
he call himself a Democrat or Re-
publican, is equally disastrous to the
South. Except for the distribution of
Il few crumbs of spoils in the shape of
post offices and internal revenue
places, his election is our defeat. 1t
did not advance Democratic policy TO
elect Mr.. Cleveland; on the contrary
his election has set back that policy
for a quarter OF "a century and spread
ruin and devastation throughout those
sections of the country when are
mainly dependent on agriculture. But
Mr.. Cleveland himself prOspered In
proportion as the South was depreSS-
ed. He went out of office worth three
millions OF dollars. Washington serV-
ed his country eight years for nothing,
and Jefferson Quit the office of PreSi-
dent a bankrupt
I did not intend to discuss Mr..
Cleveland however, his friends have
lately shown him to be even too dead
to make an effectual stalking horse
to rally the monopoly elements claim
ing to be Democrats, but | mention
him merely as an example of an East
ern candidate for President and as an
object lesson to those who wish to
run after the men from that section.
Eut we have much more serious rea-
son for opposition. There is a hope
less contrariety of commercial inter-
ests between the East and the South.

but drop a hint to the proper COM
mittee that her interests would not
be fostered by any more harbors along
the Atlantic coast and the proposition
to make the harbor and dig the canal

it's appetite-it loves only the mon

from unloading at New York. New
ports of entry would mean rivalry

Ihese considerations are sufficient
TO show our statesmen that there ia a
hopeless contrariety of commercial in
terests between the East and the
south, and we ought not to, go into
Babylon to get a candidate to break
up her monopoly. We ought to reach
out into the center of the country and
secure candidate who would be glad
to see glorious harbors all the way
from Key West to Norfolk, who would
be glad TO see the terrors of Hatteras
overcome by a canal which would
convert the Albemarle and Pamlico
into a North Carolina Chesapeake. A
campaign under such a candidate re-
Sulting in defeat would be worth more
to us than the election OF dozen New
York candidates who call themselves
Democrats. We can never have any
thing for North Carolina and the
South unless we put I'M our platforms
what we want to benefit our section
and then help nominate the candidates
who have no interests contrary to our
own. This is a crucial time for the
Democratic party: will it be Demo-
cratic and adhere to the interests of
the great mass of its voters, or will
it be plutocratic and nominate the
enemies of it's rank and file?

The Commonwealth said about three
