PARASITES

We now call upon the city
authorities to put a stop to the
blacklegs, hoboes and women of
easy virtue that have taken po-
session of South 2nd street.
These people should be confined
to red light district or made to
leave town instanter. The re
spectacle business and christian
element of the Colored people
protest against the parade of
this vicious and worthless class
on one of the main thorough
fares of the city.
Visitors. black and whit
who come to our town and take
a look at our Convention hall
will have an otherwise agreeable
picture marred by the intrusion
and dress parade of the basest
elements of population. 1t is not
a creditable reflection upon the
good name of our city to allow
such a state of affairs to exist.
We call upon all decent citi-
sens to join hands with us in
ridding this thouroughfare of
the element that is dangerous TO
the welfare and progress of
any community.
We shall take these parasites
under consideration next week.

New York. December 13.-Unus-
ually heavy weather in mld-Atlana

We're Wanted I'm Case Against STAN
dard Oh Company.

Washington, December 13.-At
conference this evening between Judge
Landis Of the United States district
court and attorneys concerned in the
case against the Standard Oil Com
pany, in which that corporation was
fined SO ,240, 900. Attorney John 5. Mil
Ter made the announcement that three
commodity tariff books OF the Chicago
and Alton railway were mysteriousIy
missing The tariff books were offer
ed in evidence at the trial by the
Standard Oil Company TO show that
there were in existence many other
tariffs in Illinois similar TO the one for
the acceptance of which the Standard
Oil Company was prosecuted.
Attorney Miller declared that he
had called on the railroad officers TO
produce the books since the trial and
that they informed him that the books
could not be found. The books were
excluded by Judge Landis at the trial.
and it said that the defendant will
use this fact in arguing for a reversal
in the United States circuit court of
appeals. At the conference today the
text of bill of exceptions was agreed
upon and it will be presented for sig
nature to Judge Landis. The signing
of the bill will complete the history Of
the case in the lower court.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
LittIe Alteration Rcportcd-Marked
Improvement Expected After Jan


New York, December 13.-R. q.
Dun & Co.'S weekly Review of Trade
tomorrow will say:
Commercial reports indicate little al
teration for the past week, but great
er confidence in marked Improvement
after January l. Holiday trade mo-
nopolizes attention, in some sections
exceeding that of last year, although
aggregate sales do not compare fav-
orably with 1906 to date. Jobbing and
wholesale lines are seasonably quiet,
while manufacturing operations are
curtailed pending the resumption of
normal demands. Fluctuations in the
raw material produced some irregu-
larity in the tone of cotton goods, but
few net changes occurred in prices.
AS neither manufacturer nor buyer
seem desirous Of establishing a new
basis of quotations the market is nom.
inauy unchanged. The only division
of the cotton manufacturers market
that shows accumulation is the ex-
port class No business with China
is anticipated until prices decline ma
terially. Signs of improvement null
tipiy in the hide market, business of
all kinds of domestic packer and
country hides this week being larger
than at any time for two months.

Especial to The Messenger.

Raleigh, y. G., December Ij.-iOkT
correspondent today asked Governor
Glenn what he thought OF the letter
TO him from Speaker E. J. Justice,
which was given out yesterday by the
latter at Greensboro and publishedthis
morning. The governor replied that
he had no objection to the publication
Of the letter, and that, as matter
OF fact he had intended to publish il
himself in case he had decided TO call
the legislature together in special ses-
sion He thoroughly agrees with Mr.
Justice that the 2 1-2 cent passenger
rate is not confiscatory, and that the
state ought to gain case in the federal
court, but he believed that every fair
minded man who will look at the prop
osition for settlement which he offered
the railways, which was accepted by
the Seaboard Air Line and the South
ern would say that it was really better
for the state than the simple fat rate
o. l-2 cents the state now has, and
besides it would have brought about
friendliness between the railroads and
the people, would have saved the
state all expense of litigation, and
would have been much better than
carrying the litigation to an end, even
though the state gains its full conten
ton. 1t was case of the railways
agreeing to the states terms and not
as heretofore any attempt to coerce
the state. .-.....
The decision of the North Carolina
supreme court, the governor says, fully
sustains his request to the judges Of
the superior court, for in his
letter to the judges of
the superior courts, for in his letter
to them he asked them to properly
instruct the grand jury and to direct
the solicitor to send bills against the
agents and employees of the railways,
or the high officers of the latter. He
did not ask the Indictment of the rail-
ways, though he believed it at the time
that Judge Long was right. ....
The governor, said, that like all
other good citizens, he bowed to the
ruling of the highest court. He says
further that no friend of the railway
can possibly distort the decision of
the supreme court in favor of the rail-
ways, for every point is decided in ia
vor of the state except the4one of in
dieting the railway itself and thus sus-
tanning fully the contention of the
state that agents and high officials
could be indicted and that the federal
court has no right by injunction or
habeas corpus to interfere. The gov
ernor says that this opinion Of the
state supreme court will be used as
one of the strongest authorities in ar
guing the railway rate case before the
United Staes supreme court next week
