Mr. Rockefeller's Interview.
News was so scarce last week that people gave
about as much attention to John d. Rockefellers
interview on how he has made his money, as they
gave to anything else. In oden days Dlogenes

The Farmers National Congress.

The twenty-ffth annual session of the Farmers
National Congress in Richmond last week
brought together delegates from twenty-nne
States, and the program included number of
notable addresses. Congressman Livingson, of
Georgia. in an exhaustive paper arraigned the
present tariff as one of the most serious draw
backs to the prosperity Of American agriculture
Secretary j. Bryan Grimes of North Carolina de-
livered an address showing great research on
"The Agricultural Resources of the South"
which we wish we had space to print in full.
Thursday there was a discussion of immigration,
pro and con, resulting in the passage of a reso-
luton protesting against the admission immi-
grants of the pauper and criminal classes.
Other resolutions adopted include itnro-

The Internal Revenue Frauds.

For long time there have been rumors OF
fraud in the internal revenue service III western
North Carolina and the matter came before the
public more prominently last spring when Editor
Deal of the Wilkesboro Chronicle printed specl-
fc charges and was brutally assaulted as re-
suit In Greensboro two weeks ago indictments
were returned against twenty-eight revenue otf-
cials. and it is believed that District Attorney
Holton and Judge Boyd will prosecute them to
the limit of the law. There is no doubt but that
full investigation would bring out a great crop
of sensations The general public has long be-
Ieved that many of the storekeepers and guagers
are in league with distillers and moonshiners for
the purpose of defrauding the government, and
a few jail sentences would doubtless do much to
bring about better order of things.

After Whiskey Medicines.

Speaking of whiskey frauds reminds us, too,
that one of the most common whiskey frauds IS
the sale as 'medicine' of many preparations that
contain no notable ingredients except whiskey
1t is interesting therefore to observe that the
Commissioners of Internal Revenue last week re
versed a ruling of his Department made many
years ago, and decides that the manufacture
ers of these medicines must take out licenses are
rectifers and liquor dealers, and that druggists
and others handling them will have to pay the
usual retail LIQUOR dealers license The Com
| missioner in letter of instruction to collectors
of internal revenue, says that there are number
| of compounds on the market going under the
| names of medicines that composed chiefly of
distilled spirits, without the addition of drugs or
| medicines in sufficient quantities to change ma
| terially the character of the whiskey."

Whereas, Inquiries of the jobbers and
