lRISHPOTATOES.
A Few Suggestions to Truckers
and Home Gardeners.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Please allow me space in your
valuable paper to offer a few sug-
gestions to truckers and home
gardeners. Dig your Irish pota-
toes. After twenty years exper-
ience as a trucker | find thatIrish
potatoes. if left to remain in the
ground during wet seasons (such
as we now have) will rot, or at
least the fine flavor will be lost.
This applies to matured crops.
Dig the potatoes and remove
them to some cool dark place. Do
not let the sun shine on them any
more than you can help, as it will
cause them to green-up. If you
can do no better, spread them in
some clubhouse on the farm. Most
all farmers have empty houses
at this season of the year. If
your potatoes are in land that has
a good water shed they may not
rot, but they are not so good as
when taken up and stored away.
The earlier varieties, such as Red
Bliss. Irish Cobbler, Pride of the
South, White Bliss. Early Rose,
Earliest, etc., should be matured
and ready to be taken up at this
date. Irish potatoes have a bet
ter flavor after being housed a
while than when taken out of the
ground. Do not bulk them; be
sure to spread them.
Our farmers should plant more
Irish potatoes than they do, they
are better than sweet potatoes
and are easier kept during win.
ter months. There is always a
demand for Irish potatoes during
the winter and generally the
price is better. A good crop of
corr can be made after Irish po-
tatoes; in fact, several crops fol
low them with excellent results
Every farmer should have lat,
potato patch, enough at leas
to supply his table during tn,
winter months.

FEDERAL Grand Jury Returns
Indictment Against Conspira-
tors in Cotton Pool.

New York Dispatch 17th
The government came out in
the open today in it's attempt to
prove that manipulating the cot.
ton market is against the law.
James A. Patten, of Chicago,
and seven lesser figures in the
speculative field have been in
dicted. charged with conspiracy
in restraint of trade under the
Sherman antitrust law.
Five counts are embraced in
the Indictment, which is in blank
ct form and contains 10000
words. The first count charges
that the defendants unlawfully
did conspire with certain corpora
tions not herein indicted to de
mand arbitrary, excessive and
monopolistic prices for cotton. "
Describing the inside workings
of the alleged conspiracy the in
dictment says that the conspira-
tors were to become members of
and engage in an unlawful COM
bination in the form of an agree
ment under which they were
severally to purchase for ship
ment from the South to New
York all cotton not directly alb
sorbed by the demands Of for
eign and domestic manufacture
in the ordinary course of busi-
ness; in otherswords, as much as
they could purchase from day to
day without seriously enhancing
the price. but nevertheless to
such an extent that they would
long before the end of the crop
year, have so much cotton in
their possession in the city OF
New York that they could "by
reason of the abnormal and arti.
fetal conditions thus purchased ir
said trade and commerce, several
ly demand arbitrary, excessive
and monopolistic prices.
, Among the firms mentioned a:
conspirators, though not included
in the indictments, are the fol
, loving of North Carolina: Can
non Mfg. Co., Concord; Hen
!, rietta Mills, Caroleen; Mecklen

INNOCENT VICTIMS OF
LAW DYING IN FRANCE

Paris.-Public attention is being
called to frequent instances of mis-
carriage of justice in France, and
abolitionists of the death penalty find
a strong argument in that fact.
There appears to be very strong rea-
sons for supposing that Brierre, con-
demned to death some years ago for
the murder of his five children, his
sentence being commuted by NJ. Lou
bet to transportation for life, is an
innocent man. 1t is not newspaper
idea, but the conviction of the offici-
ais at the penal settlement.
The Apache who was sentenced to
the guillotine this week declared that
his act was one of revenge for having
been falsely accused by the police.
There is still doubt as to the justice
of the sentence inflicted on the but

der of his master. NJ. Romy.
