Dunn. 1t says that this road will lie
extended to Godsboro, where it viii
connect with the Atlantic and North
Carolina railroad. This means that
Beaufort will be in short. direct com
m~unication with the West Virginia
coal fields, which fact will go far in in
ducing the government TO allow large
appropriations for the development OF
Beaufort harbor. it is said that one
thousand men will be at work on the
Cape Fear and Northern this summer.

track had been clear it would have
made no difference how fast the train
ran. The yardmaster claims h a he

SENTENCED FOR ATTEMPT At

Holding court in that city last week
sentenced to the roads for two years

Ito commit suicide. Baird, the would
be suicide, The Gazette-News says, is
Ia negro of bad reputation, and for this
treason the judge gave him this heavy
lsentence. We must confess to differ
fence of opinion with the judge on this
Ipoint. If this defendant was such a
bad citizen that he deserved two years

principles, then the judge would have
done society a greater service had he
lset the defendant at liberty and wish
led him greater success with the lex
lattempt. He might then have Leen

touring permanent radiance of this OF
ljectionable character instead of for
lonly two years.
There is another view of this case
(which we think worthy Of comment.

Franklin county is being scourged
with a wild onion plague. Many of
the best pastures for COWS all over
the county are being filled with beds
of wild onions. making them useless
for grazing The only en-
planation SO far advanced is tina the
seeds are imported in foreign raised
haN. IF so. here is another argument
for raising supplies at home. 1t is SO
bad in soma places that men are en-
r'oyed by the day to dig them up

We have noticed similar complaints
in several of our exchanges from the
c-Et'ai section Of the state. Suppose
that some of the families who are an
noyed by this pest try the experiment
of putting their COWS on the onion
infested pasture as soon as MIXED in

of the NOR would disappear from
the milk in this length of time. It is

Drinks Of the Nations.

The United States leads the world in
the consumption of coffee: Great Brit
ain and her colonies lead in the con-
sumption Of tea; Germany leads in the
consumption of beer: Russia i nthe con-
sumption of whiskey and other distill-
ed spirits. and France in the consump-
ton of wine. This is the showing
made by statistics just prepared by
h department of commerce and la
tor. The United States consumed in
1904 some 961 million pounds Of coffee
as against 397 millions for Germany,
16S millions for France, los millions
for Austria, and SO on down to 20 IL
million pounds for the United King
dom, which stands seventh. Clearly
We earn u right to be called the
worlds greatest coffee drinkers by a
wide margin. Our annual per capita
consumption of coffee is Ills pounds,
against 6.65 pounds per capita for Ger
many, our nearest competitor. The
most striking, though natural, contrast
IL these statistics is afforded by the
34.4S gallons of the average wine on
sumption in France and the O.39 con-
sumption in the United Kingdom

WRECK OF THE OGDEN TRAIN

The wreck of the Ogden special at
Greenville was a fearful closing of the
pleasure tour of this party of ladies
inc gentlemen. 1t is remarkable that
there was not a greater list of dead
and wounded. That any of those in the
dining cars escaped with their lives
is miraculous.
This accident was the result of a
fearful blunder on the part of some
railway official or was due to a very
loose and %bungling way of managing
trains at that point. We cannot see
how it can be clasSed as one of those
accidents for which no one seems to
be to blame and which cannot be ac-
counted for. Here was a freight II
CINE making up a train Oh the main
line at a time when a fast-running spe-
cal passenger train was due. That
somebody was at fault. The most
earnest apOlogiSt for the railroad will
admit that such conditions should not
have been allowed to exist and that
they did exist through somebody's care
leSsneSS or ignorance of the duties of
bis office. Who was to blame-the
conductor and engineer of the passen-
ger, the engineer Of the freight engine
or the yard master-no one can a
now. Surely, though, there was some
one whose duty it was to see that the
road was clear for the passenger train
if it had the right of way over ali
others as it seems to have had, or that
it had proper warning against other
trains for which it must look out.
In the report of the accident by the
Charleston News and Courier occurs
the following on the matter of respon-
sibility for the accident:
That the deaths occurred because
Of the collision between the Ogden
train and the freight train on the
main line there can be no question. It

A UNIQUE

On Friday lasc the session Of the
New York house of representatives
was opened with a unique prayer by
a negro preacher, Rev. c.. H. McDon-
aid. We are not going to comment
ON the fact that the proceedings us
one Of the houses Of the legislature CT
the great state Of New York were
opened by a negro. That concerns no
one except the members of that body.
If it suited them there should be no
kick coming from anyone else. What we
wish t. do, though, is to call attention
to ere senten.:e Of that minister s
prayer for the purpose of showing its
appropriateness and of commencing
him for his earnestness in seeking aid
from above in correcting the crying
evil Of official life of today. He did
not mlnce his words, nor was ne
backward in showing these white men
of the assembly Of the Empire state
what low opinion he had of their
characters. He closed his prayer with
the petition: When life's journey is
at an end, we ask Thee to bring us
to that general assembly where Jesus
Christ will be the speaker and the
business shall be transacted without
graft or the dictation of the lobbyist -
Now, if that man was not terribly
in earnest and fortified by a sense ci
his duty on that occasion he is a rare
humorist.

TO OWNERS OF SPOT COTTON.

Everyone of you should read, and Ill
YOU have done so once, should again
and again read the address to you by
Daniel J. Sully, the great New YORK
cotton s~peculator. He points out facts
to you which you can but realize as the
truth. He begins with the declarations:
Victory is yours" "You are masters
OF the situation" and upon o he
saws. now that you have won the vic
tory, it devolves that ysu shohld reap
the results and profits of that wonder
full success, (which has astounded the
civilized world until every day they are
echoing and ~applauding you In your
great work.. The world, when you
said you would hold your cotton look
ed on the struggle with interest,
dering if you would. More astounded
was it when you declared your deter
mination to reduce your acreage for
the coming crop, and the surprise was
still greater when it found that you
had kept your promises to each other.
"Therefore,'' a Y be. now that vic
tory is yours, and the whole civilized
world is uttering their praise OF you.
it behooves you to staLd firm, reap the
full benefits of this great and good vic
tory ard secure the profits to yourself
and yOur southern brethren" Again.
he saws: You should not sell another
bale of your cotton for sixty days
That is the point now. Keep Down the
supply Oh the market.
Mr.. Harvie Jordan, president of the
Southern Cotton Association, publishes
this Sully letter i'll circular form and
adds a few words of praise aid en-
couragement to the farmers of the
south. He makes the positive declara-
ton that the cotton acreage and use
OF fertilizers under cotton for this year
have been materially reduced in com
Earison with those of the preceding.
I,ut, he says cotton is now being sold
too freely.
1t is folly thus to weaken the strong
position you have already gained. BY
selling the surplus now you enable your
opponents to strongly tortify them
selves behind heavy holdings for the
opening time of the new crop. You
cannot efface the surplus by selling it;
INIT Won ~ inaponSn tho demand of
the and raise the price by
keeping the product off the market.
Listen to this statement Mr.. Jordan
makes you: The mills have sold their
goods ahead until 1907. The crop to
be grown in 1905 has already been
sold by both exporters and spinners.
You have not been consulted, but you
are the owners of the cotton"
You cannot dictate the price at which
these middle men sell, but if you stand
together you can say what they shall
pay for the cotton they have already
contracted to sell to others at a certain
figure. You are not concerned in what
those figures are. What interests you
is what these middle men and specula-
tors shall pay you for the cotton at
first hands. IE that and in that alone
are you concerned, and o have the
settlement of this question in your own
hands. There is only one thing for you
to dO-"United we stand; divided we
fall"
