president would not consent to the
Arrangement that notices were sent
to the democratic members of the

which are the same as the Dingley
rates and much less than the house
rates, would have to be adopted 10

/ Not content with issuing an in
junction against high rates on these
articles, the president specified that
hides must go on the free list, and
the house rates on boots and shoes

Postal Card Figures.

The Detroit News gives some inter-
esting facts regarding the use and
cost of postal cards in this country, in
which it says
I'VE common people do use few
postal cards annually. Uncle Sam is
Just How considering a contract for
$500 600, 900 postal cards to be sold
during the next four years IA matter
of 100000 a year, and the people
will pay $36.000.000 for them, which
also includes the cost of delivering
But this does not comprise the postal
card output We are now annually
buying from Germany alone 100000
900 postal cards, and also several mil
lion from France and other European
nations. But Germany has thus far
had a cinch on the colored postal card
trade, for even American publishers
instead of doing their own printing
and lithographing, have found it more
profitable to place orders direct with
German houses. However, the new
tariff bill puts tax of a quarter OF a
cent on the cheaper foreign qualities
and higher rate on the, more expen-
siye and artistic ones, in the expecta-
ton that the business will hereafter
he done by American houses. 1t is
safe to say that Americans buy $780,
Ct1 900 postal cards a year-20 to 25
for each man, woman and child In the
country More than half of these are
of the picture variety. But suppose
Uncle Sam should invade the picture
postal field? What howl would &C

Short Cotton Crop.

Men who make close study of
cotton statistics and cotton conditions
are figuring on only a 1900, ,000-bale
crop this year, said J. r. Ryan, who
has Just returned from a trip through
the far South. In Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, and other cotton states is look
ing well now, what there is of it; but
in many sections a considerable per-
centage OF the crop was destroyed by
the excessive rains in the early sum-
mer
"The crop will bring good prices
and many individual farmers will get
as much money for what they raise
as they would have received for a
full crop at lower prices; but the big
ger the crop the better for the South
as whole, for it means more freight
for the railroads and the steamships
more business for the transfer COM
panies and more work for the han
dlers. But for the unfavorable wealth
er conditions early in the season, the
South would have made over 1? 900, ,O0C
bales of cotton. .

CAR THIEVES FRUSTRATED.
They Are Come Upon While Rolling

and Fled.

AWAY Their Booty Monday Night
and Fled.
rather unusual happening is that
we are here chronicling.
One of the box cars on the yard of
the Atlantic Coast Line in this city
was broken into Monday night during
the dark hours between midnight and
day, when, of late, the electric light
service of the city is regularly shut
off, and lot of flour in sacks. several
cans of lard and lot of honey-just
such things as they found in the car
were removed and loaded or a go
cart of considerable size that the
thieves had pressed into service from
the front of store in that neighbor-
hood.
There were two of the thieves-ne-
groes-and after they had loaded the
cart to its capacity, they had gotten
crossing of Elm street, when they
were come upon by a stranger in the
city, Mr.. Claude Scott, of Raleigh,
who had driven a white steamer into
town, and was looking a place to
lodge. He Immediately suspected that
there was some stealing going on and
hailed the negroes, who Immediately
left the cart at the crossing-"drop-
ped it right there" and fed into the
the darkness.
Mr.. Scott gave the alarm and soon
had several citizens of the vicinity
aroused and then policeman, and on
investigation the above facts were
found
Up to this writing there is no clue
to the cu1prits-and all that Mr.. Scott
could say was that when he came
upon them he could distinguish that
they were negroes.
And right here it is well to say that
some immediate steps should be taken
in regard to the culpable suspension
of the electric service of the entire
city just at the time when marauding
thieves would most have it so, leaving
the streets and the homes of the city
in darkness.
Only Saturday night the big front
window of Mr.. B. F. Carr's grocery
store on Spruce street was broken
and his money drawer rified and goods
stolen.

TRAINLOAD FREIGHT RATES.
4 Question That Is Now Up and Is
Growing.

OE0WI0Ss
A question which bids fair to have
far-reaching results has been raised
in consequence of the statement of A.
b. Stickney, former president of the
Chicago Great Western Railway, that
preferential and discriminatory
freight rates are given by railways
despite the law which prohibits them.
This question is the justice or in
Justice of giving a lower rate to the
shipper of a carload of freight than
to the shipper of say one hundred
pounds of the same material. Discus
sion of Mr.. Stickney's paper has led
to the statement by some, that they
do not believe that the custom of
giving lower rate to the former than
to the latter is inherently just.
Certainly that practice puts the
small dealer at disadvantage and in
fact puts it out of his power to COM
pete with the large shipper. In the
course of the discussion the state
n1ent is made by a newspaper CORE
spondent that the Panhandle of the
Pennsylvania system, went further
carload lots and made rate on train
load lots.
This particular rate was made, so it
is alleged, upon limestone from Indi-
ana to Chicago, destined to q large
concern which is called trust, and
~, hi
in that vicinity which could use lime
stone in trainload lots and which
therefore secured anadvantage which
gave it a practical monopoly.
Further, the allegation is made that
the grand jury at Chicago considered
this question at the instance of the
.nited States authorities who propos
ed to punish the railway company anC
that the district attorney recommend
ed that the case be dismissed as the
government had no case and must be
defeated upon trial.
How interesting this question as to
whether one hundred pounds, one car
load or one trainload shall be the
unit of transportation is, must appear
to one who shall consider that nc
dealer having insufficient means tc
buy trainload of flour, for instance
can compete with that one who has
such means.
1t is conceded that handling freight
in carload lots is more economical for
the Transporting railway and the
shipper has for years acquiesced in
the decision of the railway managers
that carload shippers should receive a
lower rate than smaller shippers. The
trainload rate, however, is a PROPOSE
tfon which is probably new to the
gene1 al run of shippers.
In view of the recent demonstration
by the Virginia Railway of ability to
haul 1000 or more tons in one train
with a single locomotive, while its
competitors seem to be able to haul
only cne-half to tWo-thirds as much
the question may be raised whether
the Firginian, in pursuance of the
theory that economy in carriage war
rants reduced rate to the shipper
corresponding, measurably at least, to
the extent of that economy, might not
properly grant to the shipper of one
of it's big trainloads rate which nc
competitor could meet, not being able
to haul such load.

What President Taft Has to Say About
the Census SupervisOrs-Name
of Some Who Are to Serve
in North Carolina.

Beverly, Mass, August 16.-In spite
of its being vacation Sunday the
dav at the summer White was a some
what eventful one.
President Taft took the census bod
ily out of politics by an explicit order
to Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Nagel. He also announced the APP
pointment of 134 more census super
yisors, among them two for Mary
land-Orvice r. Leonard, N the first
district, and Frederick T. Dorton, for
the third He also had conference
with the Cuban minister, Senior Gar
cia Velez.
The day was enlivened by the di-
vulging of the secret that the Presi-
dent now weighs 304 pounds, takes an
hours gymnasium practice every
morning and is a boxer and wrestler.
In fact, as DR.. Charles Barker, his
physical director, asserts, the man
who puts the Presidents shoulders to
the mat is going some.
In his letter to Secretary Nagel
President Taft served notice that any
man engaged in the taking of the CEN
sus who engages in politics in any
way will Immediately be dismissed
from the service. Outside of casting
their votes, the President believes that
the census supervisors and enumera-
tors should keep clear of anything
that savors of politics national, state
or local.
Among the census supervisors an
nounced today were:
For North Carolina.
First District-Josiah G.. Meekins,
Sr.. of Tyrren county. He was a
member of the notorious Republican
Legislature when Russell was Cover
nor.
Second District-James M. New
born, former fusion commissioner Of
agriculture under Russell, whose de-
partment was known at that time as
the manure pile"
Third District-H. Frank Brown,
one of Russell's kitchen cabinet and
roustabout politician; has been to
Legislature and held Federal Court
Job.
Fourth District-William Claudius
Pearson, ex-Populist of Chatham;
held office in Chatham by Populist and
Republican votes.
Sixth District-Irwin B. Tucker.
