NEW YORK CENTRAL
 IS AGAIN ON TRIAL
IS CHARGED WITH GIVING RE- BATES TO SUGAR TRUSTs-PAR- KER SAID TO BE ENGAGED AS COUNSEL.

New York, November 14.-The second trial of the New York Central and Hud- son River Railroad company, charged with violations of the Elkins antitrust law, was begun in the United States circuit court today. Assistant United States Dis trict Attorney Henry A. Wise, addressing the jury, said that the government would show that the New York Central entered into an agreement with the so-called Sugar Trust in 1902 just prior to the pas sage of the Elkins anti-rebating act to cents less per 100 pounds than the tariff rate, 21 cents per 100 pounds. Over TO- 0O0,O0O pounds of sugar was shipped under this agreement, MT. Wise said.
 The government also would show that just after the passage of the Elkins act the defendant returned to the Sugar Trust as rebates, but in the form of demurrage charges the sum of $26.OOO. During the examination of several impor- tant witnesses 1t developed that the de- fense had admitted in a signed stipula- tion that the company paid s26,0O0 to the Sugar company, in the form of demur- rage charges This is practically an ad- mission on the part of the defense of all the charges except that the $26,00O was paid as rebates. Lowell M. Palmer. form erly traffic manager for the Sugar com pany, appeared as witness for the pros ecution. He was shown a letter which figured in the last trial oft he New York Central.
 This letter refers to an agreement en- tered into by General Traffic Manager Pomeroy of the Central to ship the com- pany's sugar at less rate than named in the public tariff. MT. Palmer denied that he possessed any right to make rates while handling the Sugar companys busi- ness. It came out that the witness had kept separate account in the Market and Fulton National banks for the traf- flc department, and that out of the sums on deposit there there the salaries of his various assistants and office force were paid. It is said that federal authorities expect to show before trial is over that the money deposited in his account came entirely from rebates, and that the Sugar company practically paid the expenses of it's great traffic department out of the rebates 1t received
 It was said In the federal building that the legal force of the American Sugar Re fining company, which Is to be placed on trial for the acceptance of rebates at the conclusion of the present trial is to be headed by Alton B. Parker

OUR TRADE WITH CANADA.

Our trade with Canada is larger than
that with any other country in the
western hemisphere and it is becoming
Of greater importance TO our country
each year. 1t has grown immensely in
the last thirty years. The beauty
about it is that the balance Of trade in
our favor is ever on the increase.
Our exports to that country are grow
ing faster than our imports from it.
In 1895 the trade between the two
countries, as shown by figures compiled
by the department Of commerce and
labor, amounted to $S9,429 600; in 1905
it had reached 5000, $4,000. For the
twenty years from 1875 to 1895 our
trade with Canada increased S27, 7,OOO,-
600, while from 1895 to 1905 the in
crease was S114,OOOOOO. During the
last thirty years our imports from
Canada have increased from S27, ,S69,-
600 to S62 400, 900, the latter being the
figures for last year, while exports for
$4,000 to $40, 600 1t will be seen
that while the imports were a little
more than doubled during that period
the exports were more than quad
rupled.
This wonderful increase in our trade
with Canada, especially in exports, is
in spite of the heavy duty imposed on
Canadian goods, in some instances
amounting almost to prohibition of
their impOrtatiO :, This condition of
our trade with ,-anada under existing
tariff laws is fair index of what an
enormous commerce there would be
between the two countries were there
any thing like reciprocity Of exchange
of commodities; but notwithstanding
th2t the people on both sides Of the
interchange of products Of farm, fac
tory, mine and forest, the high tariff
laws of this country must be kept in
force as a check on this commerce in
order that a few men and corporations
may be benefited by the duty on in
ternatiOnal commerce.
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw,
though, says there must be no revision
of the tariff at this time because it
would jeopardiZe the success of the
republican party in the presidential
election Of 1908. That is virtual ad-
mission that these laws need revision
that they are unnecessarily burednsome
on the people-but that for political
for at least three years longer.

NO COUNTRY STILLS


This Hamlet special which appeared
in today's Charlotte Observer created
no little gossip on the streets Of Sal
isbury:
Richmond county Is possibly the
the wettest dry county in the state
1t is said that there are more than fifty
places in the county where liquor is
sold illegally The governor of the
state Is credited with the statement
that Rowan and Richmond counties
furnished ground for more complaints
Of violation of the Watts law than any
other counties
1t is the duty of the sheriffs Of the
respective counties 10 see that the
Watts law is enforced and Sheriff
Julian when asked today about this
reference TO Rowan said:
Il cannot believe that Governor
Glenn made the statement credited TO
him. When the Watts law went into
effect / selected good men in every
township in Rowan county TO keep a
close watch in their respective town
ships and report TO me any violation
Of the Watts law. These special depu-
ties are all men Of integrity and would
under no circumstances wink at viola
tions of the law. In addition, / have
personally made every effort to ascer-
tain if any illicit distilleries were be-
ing operated i'll this county. | am
convinced that no county in the state
is freer from illicit stills and blOckad-
ers than Rowan."-Salisbury Post.

to settle the chief matter of content on

GIFT OF SPECIAL TAX BONDS DE-
CLINED.

Governor Warner Of Michigan shows
his good sense in refusing to accept
from the North Carolina bondholders'
committee a present Of a batch of
North Carolina special tax bonds. He
knows that the purpose of the gift is
to involve his state in a law suit with
North Carolina such as that which
South Dakota brought but with less
chance of success. The bonds tender
ed him are of a different kind from
those which were sued upon by the
other state North Carolina had never
repudiated the latter. She had gotten
value for them when they were put
On the market and was morally as we'll
as legally liable for their redemption.
1t is not SO, though, with the bonds
which were rendered as a present to
the governor of Michigan. They are
of the class known as special tax
bonds, which were issued by the repub-
lican legislature of reconstruction days,
IlduduiCASly put uIroi tuC MAI hcI d1u
for which the state received not a cent.
Because of these facts these bonds
have been declared null and void by
this state. She is neither morally nor
legally liable for a dollar on these
bonds.
No doubt Governor Warner would
have refused the proffered gift even
had he thought he could have been as
successful in suit against our state
as was the governor of South Dakota
Let us give him credit for not being
willing to make himself a party to any
such proceeding for the sole purpose Of
putting some thousands of dollars into
his states treasury. He was made
aware of the facts connected with the
issue and floating of these bonds and
that the gift was rendered him in order
that the present holders, who bought
them with knowledge of their charac-
ter, might make a cats paw of his
state in an endeavor to force our state
to pay them. We say he should be
given credit for not being willing to
make his state a party to such proceed
ing, even though he might thereby Sc
cure pecuniary benefit to his state.

Those democrats who want the state
convention held at Greensboro had bet
ter be at work. While every one
knows that city to be far more pref
erable than Raleigh in every respect
for holding the convention, if Green's
bOro is to get it her friends must fight
for it. There are already signs that
Raleigh will make a strong effort to
get the convention back there One
argument being used is the crowded
condition Of the hall at the last con-
vention. One answer to that is that
had the same number of delegates at
tempted to hold a convention in Ra-
leigh all conditions would have been
much worse. In assembling a large
convention something besides the hall
is to be considered and in all these
Greensboro surpasses Raleigh. If the
number of delegates is reduced there
is all the more reason why the con-
vention shrould be held in the former
city, but if the attendance is to be the
same we feel sure that the Greensboro
people will see to it that hall of suffi-
cient size is provided If the commit
tee names Raleigh as the place there

THE BROKEN SOLID SOUTH.

The New York American, in COM
menting upon Judge Parker's Charlotte
speech says that it does not think the
voters in the south will allow their
political views to be formed by the
corporation lawyer whose collapse as a
candidate allowed the solid south to be
broken for the first time" The Wash
ington Star quotes this and says, Ito
be exact, the solid south was broken
in 1896 when Mr.. Hearst was trying
his best as supporter of Mr.. Bryan
to foist free silver on the United States,
and it has remained broken ever since.
at the same time the north was solidi-
fed and has remained solid ever
since" The Star comes nearer giving
the facts as they occurred than Mr..
Hearst's paper And still many demo-
Gratis are now striving to secure third
nomination for Mr.. Bryan claiming
that a return to the stand of the party
in 1896 and 1900 is the only chance the
democrats have of success. They are
trying to make the people believe that
Mr.. Bryan can be elected if nominated
on a platform embodying his political
principles. The country repudiated
him and his political views twice, and
his friends have nothing to show that
