No Reason to Take Offense.

Charleston News and Courier
The North Carolina and Virginia
editors have no reason to take offence
because Mr.. George w. Vanderbilt
gave them entertainment in his dairy
in association with mis- COWS at Bilt-
more, and not in his home. 1t was a
tribute 20 the patrician breeding of
the editors to permit them to eat in
the dairy, a place exclusively reserved
for a family Of aristocrats, the family
tree of which is of the oldest and
soundest. The Vanderbilts, doubtless
very good people though addicted to
commercial pursuits, are not to be
compared in pedigree with the Wander
bilt Jerseys, whose position as among
the first families, whether of Virginia
or North Carolina, is not to be dis
puted. Besides. an editor in a Bilt-
more dairy is an editor in clover, and
more to be envied than an editor in
a BiltmOre palace.

out. They let it be known that if a
man would help out Kilgo" it would
pay him. Now the great question is
who was to furnish the money. Or
course Rogers and Sorrell were not
going to bestir themselves for moth
ing, even though no other motive than
their own accord, could be adduced
in the trial.
The News and Observer has claimed
all along that the place to find the
really guilty ones was to go higher
up" The News and Observer is right
in this and is to be commended for
the course it has taken in standing
up for justice to all, let it hit who it
may.

Sorrel affair were known some one

Faison has enjoyed the reputation OF
shipping the finest quality canteloupes
with the exception of Colorado ana
California and now it ships quantity
too, as well. Ten carloads left for
the Northern markets Monday ana
six carloads on Saturday before. Last
Monday was almost crate as Wen
as an ice car famine. There WIS not
sufficient cars to ice the remaining
crates Monday and everybody was at
work trying to make canteloupe boxes
A few more days like Monday with
such hot weather, SO hot that it re-
ouires ice in the barn yard to keep
the ducks from laying ard-boiled
eggs-Will produce heat prostration
among the growers. The Armour Co.
might afford to keep enough cars on

MIR. HIDDEN AGAIN.
He Will Mine For Hiddenite on "a
Large Scale.
(Elkin TineS.)

(Elkin Times.)
The hiddenite mines in Alexander
county, which were formerly operated
quite successfully for a number of
years, but which were abandoned
about six or seven years ago, are to he
operated again in the near future.
Prof Hiden, who first discovered the
stone and, who operated it for num-
Der of years, has recently been inVes-
tigating the prospects for further sue
cessful mining. Satisfying himself
that the stone can still be mined in
paying quantities, the Professor has
purchased adjoining tracts of land,
installed heavier and more modern
machinery with view to prosecuting
his mining operation on a much larger
scale than he has done before. TIE
Hiddenite is a stone of great value and
we believe was first discovered lin
Alexander county.

HAS a Fishy Taste"
IItto a 4 y
WilkeSboro Chronicle.

EX-Sheriff Rogers and Mr.. SorreH
of Wake county, were sent to Jail last
week for SIX months for emDraCCry
They are the ones who tried to tamper
with the jury in the Kilgo case,
in behalf of Kilgo and Duke. They
both say that what they did was of
their own free will and accord, and
,r;:h no evil intent They are repre-
scented as being poor men. 1t is Decu-
liul that two poor men who ought to
haze been trying to make honest bread
for their children should voluntarily
60 to the expense of riding over the
county to see jurors in Kilgo's behalf.
1t has a very fishy taste, somehow.

THE MILLS OF THE GODS.

The most remarkable disclosure in
the Equitable scandal was the dis
covery of a loan made to the Equit-
able by the Mercantile Trust Company
of $6S5,000 which nowhere appears
on the books of the Equitable. But
more remarkable still was the refusal
of Comptroller Jordan to tell the new
Equitable officials anything about the
loan, for what purposes the money was
used or who authorized it, When
told that he must explain the loan or
be discharged from his $4,000 posi-
tion Mr.. Jordan accepted dismissal
and kept dumb as an oyster. Evident
" it pays him better to preserve ST
lence than to retain a salary of $685.
900 a year. His conduct is almost con-
elusive that men who hold high posi-
ton would be ruined if the truth
on the verge of nervous prostratiOn,
having, of course, been under a terri
BILE mental strain during all the mix
up
There are many conjectures as to
why Mr.. Jordan pursueS this course.
The Brooklyn Eagle believes that the
money was used to pay for immunity
at Albany, there being strong rea-
sons why they should propitiate those
who had power to restrict'-or as
we have an oId-fashioned Anglo Saxon
blunt way of saying, the money was
used to buy up officials paid by the
people to protect the State and the
poliCyholders. The Eagle says it is
almost known" that there was "a
corruption fund" Who got the mon
ey? 1t may be that Jordan didn't
forget to help himself, but the bulk
went to men high up and Jordan
chooses rather to surrender his job
and suffer summary dismissal than
to disclose the corruptionists in and
out of the Equitable circles. But
murder will OUT AS the Eagle says:
"The mills of the gods are grinding.
They may grind exceedingly small. y

All passenger trains of the Balti-

having been discontinued.
Twenty-third Street is the most
popular terminal of the great metro
polls because of its convenience to
the hotel, theatre and shopping dis
trict. In the recent remodeling of
the terminal building a glass rooted
canopy was constructed fifty feet
wide, under which the crosstown cars
of 18th, 23rd, 2Sth and Goth Street
lines pass, so that passengers are
protected from the weather leaving
the ferry house, and also avoid the
annoyance of street traffic.
All baggage destined TO New York
City will be delivered to 23rd Street
unless distinctly marked Liberty
Street" or otherwise.
a complete electric cab service has
also been established for,the transpor-
tation of passengers and baggage at
very reasonable rates.
