nounces the Washington story to the

Fatal Cutting Scrape Near Kinston

Kinston, n. c., Sept. In gen
eral fight, at a picnic at Kelly's Mill,
four miles southeast Of this city to-
day, Thurman Andrews, of Jones
County, cut and seriously wounded
Jesse Waller and Wright Faulkner,
of this city, and inflicted minor cuts
on three or four others.
Waller was cut and seriously
wounded and will probably die. He
suffered a cut about eight inches long
between the seventh and eighth ribs
on the left side from which his en-
trails protruded. Some fthe vital
organs were also wounded. Young
Falkner was cut on the neck, his col
lar probably saving his life, and also
was stabbed in several places. One
stalk penetrated the plural cavity and
from this there is grave danger OF
his life. The others sustained only
minor injuries.

years ago from the charge that he

stands pat on It's record. What turn
ed its stomach against Mr.. Kitchin
was his defense of the Legislature for
violating the platform and then seek
ing to clear his own skirts by bewail-
ing his lack Of the veto power. The
Statesville Landmark, whose editor
has been honored with an appoint
ment by Governor kitchin, said last
year:
Governor kitchin is doubtless de-
lighted that his old friend, the Tobac-
co Trust, came 10 his aid in the bond
matter. 1t couldn't have been more
generous if Locke Craig had been
Governor. In return for the help the
trust will expect to be let alone in

been in the past, an dthe bankers

KANSAS AHEAD AGAIN.

Give another cheer for Kansas and
her progressiveness along right lines.
Dispatches from Washington an
nounced the other day that the fed
eral secretary of agriculture had is
| sued a decision, based on a finding of
the referee board of consulting scien-
tifc experts, which forbids the use of
saccharin in food products after July 1
next. This decision is made under the
pure food and drug act and will pro-
hibit the manufacture or sale in the
District of Columbia or the territories
of the United States, of foodstuffs con-
tanning saccharin as we'll as interstate
| commerce in such foodstuffs.
This is a move in the right direc-
ton as saecharin acts as an anti-fer-
ment in the stomach and is therefore
injurious. But Kansas made the same
kind of move three years ago. At
that time the Kansas state board of
health issued an order forbidding the
use of saccharin in all foodstuffs made
and sold in the state. And that order
has been enforced as we'll as possible
during all these years, while the
United States pure food experts have
been thinking the matter over.
| 1t goes to show that Kansas is al
ways away at the head of the process
sion. in inaugurating reforms that are
worth while to humanity, and particu-
larly in regard to the public health
When the federal government or any
of the states get ahead of Secretary
Crumbine and his workers on the
state board of health in placing the
ban on anything and everything that
is injurious to the public health, they'll
have to get UP mighty early in the
morning. Indeed, about the best they
can do is to catch up with the Kan
sas state board of health in these par

PROSPERITY IN SIGHT.

Henry Clews, the New York banker
who is an accepted authority on the
conditions that prevail in the business
and financial world, expresses the opin-
ion in his current weekly financial re-
view that an onward movement in all
lines of business will begin before
many months have passed, and that
the United States is due to experience
another wave of prosperity of a sub
stantial character.
Before this onward movement car
begin,' writes Mr.. Clews, 1--WE mus!
have some reliable forecast of tariff
legislation and we must also know the
effect of the supreme court decisions
already referred to. The decisions have
it may be observed, already been ac.
cepted at their worst-that is to say
the market believes that the two cor
porations concerned will be declared il
restraint of trade. and will be com
PEELED accordingly to adjust their af
| fairs. Its recent decisions against fix
ed prices and its unequivocal ruling il
the commodity clause are widely &C
cepted as showing the mental attitude
of the supreme court in regard to com
binations. Other corporations, if thi,
indication is fulfilled, will also be com
PEELED to comply with the provisions o

time definitely determined by our high

Almost every "hoss'' trader, says the

Don't try to prove that you are a

Journal-World, by knocking another
man down.
This thing they call Luck, says Bert
Walker is really nothing more than
energy, industry and honesty running
along on high speed.

No, Maude, answers the Scranton
Gazette. belt is not a necessity. 1t
may be dispensed with entirely, as in
the case of a Mother Hubbard. 1t
does not need to be worn around the
waist. 1t may be worn around the
house only, or over the eye. A belt is
sometimes used in a machine shop.
The corn belt will not be worn this
season at all.
The Lawrence Journal-World seems
to have rather unusual idea as to
what constitutes a great privilege, as is
z
which appeared in it's columns recent
ly: you do not usually envy a man
who has lived long time but there
must be an exception in the case of q
man who has lived Sc years in Law
renee. That is a great privilege"
This is going the rounds of the Kan
sas press as an expression of a sub
scriber who believes in taking papers:
Il never took a paper that didn't pay
me more than I paid for it. One time
an old friend of mine started paper
way down south and sent a copy to
me and 1 subscribed just to encourage
him, and after a while it published a
notice vf an order to sell a lot at pub
lie auction. So I enquired about the
lot and told my friend to run it up to
$50. He bid me off the lot at $38 and
sold it in a month for 500, so made
$62 clear by taking that paper. My
father told me that when he was a
young man he saw a notice in a paper
that a school teacher was wanted
away off in distant county, and he
went and obtained the situation and
little girl was sent to him, and she
grew UP sweet and beautiful and he
married her. Now if he hadn't taken
that paper where would I be? 1 would

est tribunal. But this does not near
there will be. any confiscation of pro-
perty or interference with property
rights, whether these property rights
are called goodwill or selling or
ganization or anything else. 1t SIM
ply means that business of our modern
business combinations must be con-
Quoted in a perfectly fair and legal
way. which is a position that every
patriotic citizen will cordially approve.
At the same time it should not be for
gotten that stockholders will still re-
tain the full intrinsic value of their
property.
GAS far as the tariff is concerned
the prospects are that before money is
needed for the crops this retarding in
f1uenee will be quite out of the way.
The dominant party in the House of
Representatives is showing a degree
of conservatism that bespeaks the ac-
complishment of practical results to
the exclusion of merely ideal policies
that mean striving for the unattain-
able. Best information from Wash
ington suggests an understanding
whereby the tariff changes of the cur
rent special session are to be confined
to the enactment of the reciprocity ar
rangement with Canada and of the So
called farmers free list. Aside from
this. the wool schedule will most prob
ably receive severest revision, while
the steel and cotton schedules are ex-
pected to be accorded more moderate
treatment. With these out of the way,
the busine ess outlook Will unquestion-
ably improve. and it will simply be re-
peating history if a substantial wave OF
prosperity should take possession OF
the mercantile and industrial activi-
ties of the country
