Bradstreets Review.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-Bradsreets.
tomorrow, will say:
The price situation os a whole is one
of great strength, October ! prices
being at record level. For the week
the features in speculation have been
the slowness of dealings IN grain at
small net changes in price, and the
contradictory advices as TO frost dam
age. The strength of the metal markets
deserves mention. Copper has reached
the highest price in sixteen years, and
iron and steel show increased strength,
AL available supplies are eagerly taken
despite unpYecedented production. In
other lines Of industry activity is the
rule, and labor scarcity is cause OF
complaint from manufacturers, farmers
and lumbermen. Great activity. IN
trade is reported az Pacific coast points.
The wool markets are still practically
deadlocked, with buyers and sellers
apart and whatever advantage there
is apparently is In buyers favor. The
firm closing Of wool prices sustains
holders views, but manufacturers are
buying only small quantities.
Business failures for the week in the
United States for the week ending Oe-
tober II number l92 against 1856 last
week, ls3 in the like week Of 1908,
1876 in 1904. 203 in 1903 aud 1913 in

last week, 2,774,46 this week last year,
l,35T,l75 in 1904 and 5,536,073 in
1901. For the past fifteen weeks of
the fiscal year the exports are 4S,l02,-
S27 bushels, against 19,S73,s37 in 1905,
l9905. .sS6 in 1904 and 90,57S,S25 in

Goldsboro, n. c., March 17.-An in
coming freight wrung off a journal
from a freight car today at noon near
the colored insane asylum, and passen-
ger trains have since been unable to
pass the Scene. Passengers on the
train from Greensboro due mere at
1910 were brought into the city on
hacks and carriages which were sent
to the scene A special was made up
this afternoon and went to the scene.
The special carried mail, baggage and
passengers for the western trip and
these had to be transferred across the
wreck. The coal car got in such a
shape as to make it impossible to hove
it and the coal had to be unlCaded and
the car pushed off the track.
Some of the business men Of Colds
bOro are forming a stock company to
take charge Of the Goldsboro Daily
Argus and issue an ~up-to-date after
noon paper with full Geographic dis
patches and the Associated Press re-
ports. A large amount of the stock
required has already been secured and
it now looks as if the enterprise is 60
ing to succeed. Colonel Jos. E. Robin
son, the founder and proprietor of the
Argus, will be retained as its editor.

NEGRO EXODUS FROM MEMPHIS.

There is an exodus of the negro pop
ulation from Memphis because of the
prophecy of an old negro woma that
the city will sink out of sight on the
9th inst. She goes about the streets
warming the people to flee from the
wrath to come, and the negroes are
taking her advice. Hundreds have
left and hundreds more are leaving
into that city advertise that they will
run excursions to firmer ground on the
Goth to return on the 2Sth if there is
any city to return to. Two of the
roads have sold tickets sufficient to fill
twenty coaches of their excursion
trains and all the other lines will run
at least ten coaches to the train.
All the steamboats, have sold to their
entire passenger limit for the three
days preceding the 9th. The indus
trial plants are already suffering
through the secretly Of labor. A car
LIN OtAo ~ 'hptAS Ao"A AAASS ="
the city has been forced to shut down.
1t is limited that the white people
hired the old negro oma to go about
the streets making this prophecy for
the purpose of causing the negroes to
leave the city.
The Charlotte Chronicle remarks
that it is a pretty mean trick on the
negroes. but is a better method Of get
ting rid Of the them than that adopted
by the people Of Springfield, Ohio.
y great many of the negroes will re-
turn to the city after the day for its
destruction has passed, but, no doubt. a
large number will find permanent
homes elsewhere. and SO Memphis
will get rid of a large portion of its
surplus negro population.

A Chicago dispatch says the rail-
roads of the west are suffering a labor
famine; that twenty-five thousand men
are needed to build the roads already
under construction and twice that num-
Der will be wanted by the first Of June.
1t is strange that with this cry for la
Dor all over the country, all the cities
should contain a number Of men who
will not work or claim that they can
get nothing to do.

TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 1906.
SENATOR TnLMAN,S REPORT.

After reading Senator Tillman's re-
port on the railway rate bill one would
think that it would not be very hard
for those senators and congressman,
who really desire to enact a law which
will give the people the much needed
relief, to get together and agree upon
what the provisions of that bill shall
be. The report demonstrates most
clearly the absolute necessity Of action
by congress.
Something must be lone and it must
be done by the democrats. If a half
dozen of them are going to let their
personal views and individual opinions
outweigh with them the judgment of
all the other democratic senators n
the fifteen republicans who are in ac-
cord with them, then those few demo-
Gratis will be responsible for the fail
ure of congress to grant the relief the
people are demanding.
1t is true that as the republicans
have a majority in both houses Of con-
gress that party would be held respon-
sible from a political standpoint for
the defeat of the measure, as every
party in power is held responsible for
the acts of it's legislative body; but
in this matter now before congress the
democrats will be morally responsible
If they, by division among themselves,
allow this bill to be defeated or SO
amended as t. amount to it's defeat.
The bill embOdies a principle of the
democratic party. 1t is n of that
party's demands. Though introduced
by a republican and it's passage urged
by a republican president, there is no
hope.of it's success unless the democrats
come solidly to it's aid. The democrats
know full we'll that on them depends
the success or the failure of the mea-
sure. It cannot be passed in the SEN
ate without their almost unanimous
vote.
This. we say, puts the moral respon-
sibility on them. Mr.. Ti1lman's report,
it strikes us, shows hat the democrats
can get together if they will and for
mulate such amendments as are neces-
sary to perfect the bill and make it
effective.
The proceedings in the senate dur
ing the next few days will test the
sincerity of those democratic senators
who have been claiming to be in favor
of Legislation for regulating interstate
railway traffic.

When Marshvile Threats ETC Dry.

A reporter for a Charlotte paper re-
Gently interviewed an old darkey who
had just returned from Wadesboro.
who was quoted az saying that he saw
SO many Monroe folks down there that
he had to think a little while to see
whether he was in Monroe Or Wades-
boro. There are not many visitors
from Marshville to Wadesboro. When
follS around here get to feeling dry
towards the latter part Of the day, they
call up Wadesboro by phone, order
some merchandise shipped in jugs to
Peachland, hang up the receiver and
then go and hitch up and drive to
Peachland and meet the wesi-bound
train that comes along about 9 O'Clock.
A traveller might mistake Peachland
for Marshville. but not Wadesboro.-

II Mr.. Roosevelt wants to put a
stop to the disgraceful scramble for
office by the republicans Of this state
why doe he o do it? The who.e

is to make appointments to office over
over which there is so much strife.

w. W KITCHIN AND THE FAST
NAIL

Congressman kitchin, of the Fifth
districts. explains his position ON the
appropriation for the fast mail between
Washington and New Orleans. He
says TO charge that he opposes the run
ming of that train is a misrepresenta-
ton Of his position: that he does not
oppose the running Of that or any
other train; that every road ought TO
run every train necessary for its
freight, express, mail and passenger
service, and that he feels sure the
Southern is running no u-nnecessary
trains. but that he is opposed to the
special appropriation ror the fast mail
train to the south.
we do not suppose any one ever
thought of accusing Mr.. Kitchin of op-
position to the running OF this train or
by n railroad Of as many trains as
1t chose. We cannot see the necessity
for his making any such statement.
He knows well enough, though, that a
large section of the south would be de-
pr1ved of very advantageous mail SER
vice were this appropriation stopped,
and when he votes against it. be will
Hote against the interest of his section
or the country and of a large territory
to the south Of it.
