Decision Against Standard Oil Co. a
Feature Of Stock Market.
By the Associated Press.)

BY the Associated PreSS.)
New York, Nov. 20.-The decision
of the L. S. circuit court of ST Paul
against the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey declaring that corpora
ton illegal and ordering it dissolution
was one of the great features of to-
days stock market. The news was evil
IDENTITY most unexpected and had the
effect of turning a very active and
strong market into one Of extreme
weakness Announcement Of the de-
cisiOn came il the second hour Of the
brief session. There had previously
been q resumption of the recent ac-
tiVity in various specialties, including
the copper shares, one of which, Utah
Copper, almost repeated its perform
ance Of a week ago, with an advance
of over 5 points. There were sp%ectac-
ular moves in other stocks Of the
same group. but the usual speculative
issues were inclined to ir~regularity.
With the first word from st. Louis
there ensued q general selling move
ment, which at times bordered on de-
moralization Not only Were all the
early gains wiped out, but net losses
for the day ranged from / TO ; or more
points. There was some indication OF
a rally in the final trading, but this
was offset by further liquidation, ana
the closing was weak.
The bank statement showed some
extraordinary differences in actual
and average conditions. In the latter
loans decreased by over 21,600. eco,
while in the actual condition loans
were increased by almost $500, 600.
There were corresponding increases
and decreases in the reserves. but on
the whole the bank position for the
week may be said to have strengthen
"a. Gross returns Of some two score
leading railway lines for the first week
of November showed an increase OF
almost IS per cent.

Live at Home.

Keep Your money at home. live at
home should be the maxim OF every
farmer il he desires to get out OF the
clutches OF the money changers Of this
Z This can apply TO the merchants
as well as the %faTIner. for both are
affected more or less by the scarcity of
the circulating Medium in their bust
ness. II the farmer could be induced
10 live at home, save his money and
get ahead in the world. he could pay
the merchant cash for his goods and
escape the undue credit profits that
the merchants charge. If the mer-
chant received cash for his goods he
could pay the manufacturer or the
" holesaler, and thus free himself from
the bonds, that under the credit sys-
tenn. he has to tangle himself in. The
present system Of credit hurts all, for
while the farmer IS T~nortgaged to the
hilt before the crop is planted. or near
~ so, the merchant, at the same time,
is also bound through this same credit
system to his creditors with no more
chance to escape than the farmer II
h redlJor wishes to press him. IN
der q cash system one Of this would,
OF necessity, have to be. tor paying
cash would relieve the situation and
cut the everlasting bonds that have
had the South held hard and fast to
the monied powers of New York and
other centerS.
Remember this. and determine at
once to proceed to live at home by
planting all that you can of the various
products that grow luXuriently in the
South. Sell YOU surplus for cash and
pay cash for what you have to eXpend.
In this way not only viii you be a
free man but in a short time You farm
erS Will have the balance of the cir
culating medium on your si6e of the
cash ledger. and thus situated you
Will be the lenders instead Of the Dor
rOWers. Determine to do this and you
can't fail.-CO-ODeratOr.

points, advancing in the early part
nearly two dollars a bale on the very
cold weather reported in all sections
OF n belt and heavy frost in Texas
where 1t excelled all hopes of a
further top crop. Later in the week
prices fell off as the result Of heavy
short selling, in which it was said the
Memphis crowd led. It was the gen

based on the expectation of bearish
flgures on ginning from the census

vanced 1-Sc and closed at the high

1t was a great tribute the United
States sailor boys Saturday paid to
the of Ensign Worth Bagley,
the brave young North Carolinian
who was the first to give up his life
for his country's sake in the Spanish
American war. It did not require any
great amount of time or labor for the
sailors to march to the grave of their
departed cOmrade, and place thereon
a wreath, but it was great in the very
thoEghtfulness Of the act. 1t was ten
der and pretty, and has touched the
hearts of North CarOlinians.
