Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands,
who has compelled the great Rookie
feller 10 come into court, is said TO
have been named in commemoration
Of the battle IN which his father was
wounded. As that engagement oc-
Cured IN 1864. and Judge Lands was
born in 1866, his peculiar name can
not have been bestowed on the spur
Of the moment. A similar instance Of
peculiar paternal choice in naming "a
child is exhibited In the case of Cap
tain Malvern Hill Barnum of the reg
ular army. His father must have
had some reason akin to that of the
elder Lands. for while the battle was
fought IN 1852, Captain Barnum was
not born untII fourteen months after
wards. Possibly there are military as
sociatlons which civilians cannot UNI
derstand that make certain events Of
peculiar significance in the lives OF
veterans.

commerce in this article in the year about to end will aggregate nearly 1 million dollars, the imports. having grown in value from less than 5000 in the year 1900 to about a half mill lion dollars in the present year, while exports for the year will approximate about 300 thousand dollars.
 Prices of peanuts have also greatly advanced in the foreign markets, the average valuation of imported peanuts based upon wholesale prices in the markets from which they are sent to the United States, having advanced from II cents per pound in 1898 to S.4 cents per pound in 1907, for those in the natural state, and that of shelled peanuts imported in 1898 was A cents per pound, and in 1907, 4.5 cents.
 West Africa and the East Indies are the principal sources of supply of the peanuts entering the international markets of the world. The exports of peanuts from the French colony of

Senegal on the west coast of Africa were, in the latest available year, over 300 million pounds; those of British India, little less than 200 millions; Gambia on the west coast of Africa, about 100 millions; the Dutch East In- dies. about 800 millions; while China, Japan. Argentina. Spain, and the Unit ed States also supply comparatively small quantities.
 The striking feature of our own trade in peanuts is the rapid growth in importations. The quantity import ed a decade ago. in the fiscal year 1897, was less than 10000 pounds; in 1902. over l million; in 1905. more than , millions; and in 1907 seems likely to be about F million pounds, of which about one-fourth represents shelled and three-fourths unshelled peanuts. the value being, as above stated. ap- proximately a half million dollars for the present fiscal year, while that of

Railroads capituIate to North Carolina
After Hard Struggle.
Raleigh, N. c., July 30.-The State
of North Carolina has won it's fight to
have its passenger rate law of 21-4
cents observed by all the railroads,
pending an appeal to the courts by
the roads which propose to fight the
law, following the arrest Saturday at
Asheville of President Finley of the
Southern railroad.
The promise of obedience to the law
was given at a conference the rail.
roads sought with Gov. Glenn, who had
stated that as precedent to any
agreement the IA cent rate must be
put into effect.
After the conference Gov. Glenn
stated that at the beginning of the
conference the railroad representa-.
tives declared they were ready to
agree to the 2 ia cent rate, which
later is to be tested in the original
injunction case before Judge Pritch.

by the state to the supreme court of
the United States, while the railroads
would appeal the case in Wake county
to the North Carolina supreme court,
and If necessary take the case on writ
of error to the supreme court of the
United States.
The only trouble in the conference
was a selection of the date at which
the 2 Ia cent rate should become ef-
fective. The railroads wanted longer
time than the state was willing to
grant, but finally the Sth of August
was agreed upon, as the railroad rep.
resentatives said it would be impossi-
bic sooner to make the proper ar.

Over Shooting at 500.
Sault Ste. Marie, July Is. - There
may be an international inquiry over
the accidental shooting Monday night
Of Miss Elizabeth Cadenhead of Fer
gus, Ont, by Private Gillette at Fort
Brady, who had shot at an escaping
deserter. Officers at the fort have de-
clined to surrender Private Cyrus Gil
!ette to Sheriff Pipsett, pending or.
ders from the secretary of war, to
whom the incident has been reported.
The British government has engag-
ed Attorney L. s. B. Sutton of this
city to represent the crown in the in
quest. The inquest was not concluded
last night, although late session was
held. Mr.. Sutton says that while he
does not expect International compli.
cations, the crown will watch the pro-
ceedings closely, and complete rec
ord of the proceedings will be for.
warded to Ottawa. Gen. Carter, com.
mander of the Department of the
Lakes. has wired Capt. Tillman in.
structions to hold Gillette, cooperate
with the civil authorities, report
promptly any complications which
may result and to keep in close touch
with headquarters. Local sympathy
is with Gillette. who merely followed
orders In firing at the deserter.
