Mere Money-makers.

At the annual dinner of the Williams
College Alumni. the other night. Law
yer John G. MIilburn was one of the
speakers, and his remarks as briefly
reported seem TO have been penetrated
with much intelligence. We would be
glad to see fuller report of them. but
as 1t is, several definite ideas were
caught in what the papers gave. 1t
seems that he talked about the spirit
of materialism in this country (Which
is an inviting thence, and he is record
ed as saying that there existed an i'm
mense generalization ON mere action,
That remark quarrels a little with the
strenuous life, but we think 1t is so
An American who bustles about like
anything. and raises hob, and makes
some money and much din. is apt to
be more respectfully regarded by oh.
servers than u quieter one who sits
tighter, invites his soul more, improves
his mind more. pays more attention to
the conduct OF life, and gets final re.
suits better worth achieving. One of
our present misfOrtunes is that there Is
so many able men in the country who
hirve not fitted themselves for anything
except making money. and who pursue
that phase of activity with quite un.
necessary zeal because 1t is the only
amusing thing they know how to do.-

PEACH CROP NOT HURT.
Georgians Make Big Money on Peaches
and So Can North Carolina
(Monroe Journal.)

How is the Moore county peach
crop?' Congressman Page was asked.
Not hurt" was the answer. THE
manager of the big Lindley orchard
told me that his peaches were so
abundant that he would have to pull
off half of them in order to mature
the others
Moore county, which is about to be-
come the most marvellous one in the
State, is becoming a great peach sec
ton.
The Georgia peach is famous. but
few realize the enormous extent OF
the business nor the profits that q
good year brings to the growers since
the development in railroad traffic has
opened the Northern cities as mar
kets. Mr.. Redfearn, the travelling rep
resentative of the Charlotte News,
says tina the was in Georgia last sum-
mer and saw some of the growers
market their crops. Northern agents
go down and buy whole orchards of
fruit on the trees and gather it them
selves, thus relieving the owners of
the trouble an expense of marketing.
He saw one farmer sell the fruit from
twenty-five acres of trees for $4,000,
the purchaser to do all the gathering.
The farmer who made this aisle told
Mr. Redfearn that the expense of his
crop that year had been only $4,000.

Durham, n. c., May 12.-The trial
of William r. Riggsbee, charged with
ballot box -stuffing'' was called before
Mayor Paul c. Graham this morning
and lasted until night. The case was
sent up to the grand jury, the bond
being fixed at $500 which was given
at once.
This case came up from the recent
election Riggsbee was at the North
Durham precinct. Among others at
the precinct was a man by the name
of A. W. Blake, of Raleigh, and it was
he who charged that he saw Riggsbee
put a number of ballots into the may
Cr's box When the votes were count
ed it was found that there were too
many ballots in the box. On that ac-
count the vote for mayor at that pre-
cinct was thrown out and Riggsbee
was arrested. He gave bond in the
sum of $500 for his appearance today
Blake said that during an
some citizens to vote he saw Riggsbee
lay his head on his arm and slip sew
eral ballots into the box for mayor.
He said he was standing behind riggs
bee some distance away, and from
other evidence it was shown that
Riggsbee was two feet to two and a
half feet from the box. This was one
feature of the evidence that was
brought out fully, as the defense
claims that it would have been impos-
sible for the defendant to have reach
ed that distance in the position that
Blake says that he was

nounced that the defense would not
put on any testimony.
In addition to the witnesses sum-
moned here quite number of charac-
ter witnesses came up from Raleigh.
These however, were not put on the
stand. Those from Raleigh were: w,

State; C. e. Crawford p. b. Taylor,
Jasper n. McRary, policeman; Fl. c.

The section under which the case
was tried was the election law of
1901, section As, and chapter 80 of
the general laws.
After a warm argument by the law
yers, Mayor Graham held that as "A
matter of law the section under which
the warrant was drawn was sufficient
~ broad to cover the offense of ballot
box stuffing and that there was suffi-
cient evidence TO so to the grand jury.
