after the trust magnates.
Attorney General Wickersham Tells
Congress They Will Be Prosecuted
Vigorously.
Tti-- ivcHit decisions of tbe Supreme
Cjurt in tLe Staniard Oil and Amer
Tobacco Company's cases, will
rult in i sweeping attempt to se
,.,r,. ( rimi'nl conviction of violation
,,f tlx Anti Trust Jaw, according to
tt'nify (Jneral Wickersham who
ar,p.-;irpl before the House commit
tt. on pspfiitlitures in the Depart
ni;,i of Justice. Mr. Wickersham
u.-keil why tbe governmant thus
f,,r ha3 failed to lodge any "trust
magnates" in prison.
"U V have done tbe beet we could,"
fii'l, "but there has been an un
williniiHHS on tbe part of juries and
( iiui tH to HtMitpnce men to prison un-il.-r
thf Anti-Trust law. Until the
,ii.r iiif' i'ourt laid down its definite
i oiir.tnii tion in the two cases just
,j, i.i.-.l, this reluctance was well un
ilfrrjtoij.l, for the law has always
liM-n open to qupstion, and has
Uh-u const rued in different ways by
(jiliVrcitt courts.
'Juries are becoming more willing
now, however, to convict and judges
wlio have been reluctant to impose
prison penalties now have the Su
pivnio Court decisions to sustain
them."
Mr. Wickersham said he believed
prison sentences would be the most
e native means of enforcing respect
for the Anti-Trust law. Criminal
pt-r-ieciitions pending against the
meat packers, milk 'dealers, grocers,
the naval stores and window-glass
coiiit.inations and other alleged vio
lutors of the Anti-Trust Law, he
HiM. would be augmented by other
pros.i ntions. On this subject the
covernment had definite plans.
Representative Iieall, of Texas,
chairman of the Investigating Com
mittee, asked why there had been no
criminal proceedings against the
heals of tbe Standard Oil and To
i,u to corporations.
"In view of the fact that we have
secured decisions in these cases only
within the last two weeks, it seems
to me that question answers itself,''
said Mr. Wickersham. "Now, how
ever, we have an interpretation of
the Anti-Trust Act upon which we
enn proceed."
The Attorney-General was closely
questioned by Mr. Beall as to tbe
cotton cf.ses in New York, but he re
fused to disclose the government's
future action. Asked why actions
were not brought against those seek
ing to elevate the price of raw cotton
rather than against the spinners and
the ' hears" who were trying to de
press it, Mr. Wickersham said the
government had believed it much
easier to reach the seven men con
trolling the rawcotton pool, against
whom it bad exact information.
"The statute of limitations has not
run against the others," he added.
"If the government is sustained in
this first cotton case, the other com
binations may be attacked."
"Has there ever been any investi
gation of the attempt of bears to de
press cotton prices in New York or
New rlenns?" Chairman Beall asked.
"No; I have never had any fact
brought to my attention that seem-1
eel to show a violation nr the AntI
Trust Laws in such matters."
An Appeal to the Ladies.
Iery lady in Henderson and
Vance county should read the arti
cle under the caption: "The Ilorse,
the Negro and the (Iroceryman,"
which appears elsewhere in these col
umns over the nom deplume "Tow
zer's Friend." It calls attention to
the mistreatment of the horse, which
so commonly occurs, and suggests
that a society for the prevention of
cru- ky to animals should exist. Such
an organization as this would no
iloubt suppress much of the cruelty
iiitlicted upon the poor, helpless
horse, which deserves the kind treat
ment from the hands of his master
and driver that the law requires.
Miss Cora Dow, of Cincinnati, a
member of the Ohio Humane Socie
ty, is one of the few friends of the
horse who has made that friendship
practical and helpful. One day Bhe
"aw from her window an old horse
half shod and half starved trying to
j'lill a two-horse load on a slippery,
icy street, while the burly scoundrel
yf a driver was kicking him and lay
ing on the whip. Miss Dow walked
straight over and in the simplest,
most direct terms, laid open his
brutality to his astonished, yet un
believing gaze, and, in turn, was ad
ised to go home and wash her dish
" She declined to act on the sug
K tion, but acted very promptly on
a sudden idea of her own. When
that man left the police judge he re
Mantly left a $10 bill behind him
ha- good luck, but he had a new idea
about horses and about the mem
bers of the Humane Society.
Miss Dow got out a folderon which
was this: "A square deal for the
horse. We believe every horse de
s rvt s tluee ample meals daily; wa
fcr frequently; proper shoes; a blank
et in cold weather; two weeks' va
cation annually. Throw away the
whip."
- She sent the circulars out to the
""rirma with which shedoes busi
and to other firms 2,500 in
all with the request that they put
'' quotation on all their advertis
jntf matter and send out the circu-lur-
At once 50 per cent of them
Agreed to do so and to give , their

'ave sent out 50,000,000 appeals
0,1 their stationery and advertising
fatter, making a plea for kindness
the horse. That quotation is on
euiuonary and on that oi nun
ards of firms'.
ibere should undoubtedly be a
well organized and wide-awake so
tlety for the prevention of cruelty to

GEN. CARR FOR THE SENATE.
Considerable Pressure Being Brought
to Bear on Him and at the Proper
Time He Will Enter the Race.
(Durham Daily Sun.)
If prognostications and pledges of
support from prominent politicians
and men of influence who have been
directing the political battles of the
Old North State for many years
amount to any thing, the successor to
F. M. Simmons in the Senate of the
United States will be from the city of
Durham.
No official announcement of the
candidacy of the Durham man to
which the attention of the political
leaders is turning at this time has
been made, nor will this announce
ment be made for some time. But
when the proper time comes Durham
will have a candidate for this high
office who, from present indications, .
will cause the other four candidates
already in the field considerable loss
of sleep. The candidate that Dur
ham will put forward will of course
be General Julian S. Carr.
Letters have been pouring into the
office of General Carr for some time
from all parts of the State, from the
most prominent leaders of the politi
cal hosts, urging him to get into the
race. General Carr has been quietly
viewing the storm that is brewing,
saying nothing and taking no steps
to put himself forward. To all who
have approached him he has hajdJ
nothing to say, and be has not
authorized any public statement to
be made of his candidacy. At the
proper time this statement will be
made, however, unless the present
trend of things changes very mate
rially, and the fight for the high
office of representative of the State
in the Senate will be five-cornered
instead of four-cornered, as at the
present time.
For some time there has been
growing in the State a demand for a
representative in the National gov
ernment who was a business man
and who at the same time could rep
resent the State with credit. There
is a widespread sentiment against
men who make.of politics a business
and who are iq politics for what they
can get out of politics.
That the candidate which Durham
will put forward is worthy in every
respect of the high office goes with
oue saying. For years he has been
laboring for the uplift and better
ment of the State and has been prom
inent in the leadership of practically
every movement that has served to
place the State in the front rank in
dustrially, morally and education
ally. He was mentioned in all parts
oi the htate as a probable candidate
for the Senate long before any of the
other candidates announced them
selves. He has preferred to keep him
self in the background and there has
been much speculation as to his
probable attitude toward the Sena
torsbip. All of this speculation can
now be set at rest, for it is positive
that he will be in the race when tbe
proper time arrives.
MODERN MERCHANDISING.
There are still a few retail mer
chants scattered around here and
there who think they can carry on a
successful and up-to-date business
without spending any money in ad
vertising. They proceed on the old
time, easy-going method of letting
business come their way if it will, or
go in other directions irom wnicn
there is more attraction. They seem
perfectly content to be classed with
the thriftless, . catch-penny fellows
who have neither the energy, wis
dom nor ambition to get out and
hustle for business. The Concord
Times has the following to say with
reference to modern methods of mer
chandising as compared with the old:
Our older men will recall a time
when buyers of manufactured goods
used to visit the factories to make
their purchases. Manufacturing then
was pretty well concentrated in the
Eastern States, and long and diffi
cult journies were taken to see the
goods personally.
A manufacturer or those days
would have laughed at the idea that
he spend his good money in sending
out salesmen on costly junketing
trips to jolly up the retailers. He
was sure.of a certain trade by sitting
in his tracks and waiting for the busi
ness to. co me to his door.
Today the buyers sit down in their
stores and wait for the manufactu
rers to send salesmen to see them,
and however, assumes that the man
who thus fails to play the game of
modern merchandising lacks confi
dence in his goods, since be is not
willing to pay the ordinary expenses
of selling them.
The newspaper advertisement
serves with marvellous efficiency as
the retailer's traveling salesman. It
tells his story to thousands of read
ers in the time a salesman would
spend talking to one customer.
WTatch a train load of people when
the new periodicals are brought in.
Two out of three turn first to the
advertising. They read the stories
and articles a little afterwards, and
finally turn to the advertising again.
If you could en,ter the homes when
the local newspaper is distributed,
you would find a similar searching
scrutiny of the store news.
The reason is obvious. The gen
eral news relates to things not di
rectly connected with the personal
interest of the reader. The adver
tising .talks about one's everyday
interest, like clothing and house fur
nishings and personal belongings.
It appeals to the ever present de
sire to live comiorcaDiy ana attrac
tively, and to reduce the cost of liv
ing. How can people help reading
it?
A surgical operation was per
formed at Philadelphia, Pa., last
week without the use of a knife. A
brass paper clip that had been em
bedded in a young woman's lung for
eight years, was removed. The in
strument used was a bronchoscope,
to which was attached a tiny electric
light, a reflector and minute forceps.
The tube was lowered down the pa
tient's throat and the clip was re
moved after about an hour's work.
CANAL THREE-FOURTHS DONE.
End if Seventh Year Finds Three
Fourths of Excavation Completed
and Cement Work Half Finished.
The end of the se ven ty y e ar of work
on the Panama canal by the United
States, on May 4, found three-fourths
of the excavation completed. There
have been 138,000,000 cubic yards
of the isthmus shifted by American
steam shovels and excavators, leav
ing only 44,000,000 cubic yards of
digging to be done. Theplac'iDgof
concrete, used in construction of th"
locks for the canal, is 52 per cent ac
complished. There have been placed
2,153,38G cubic yards of concrete,
out of a total of 4,284,000 cubic
yards. ..
The installation of the lock gates
has been begun, and the machinery
for tbe operation of tbe gates and
.luwlu Bll' " u
Tut 111 position. The lock gates are
the towing of shins will shortly be
immense steel structures, for the
handling of which special machinery
has been devised. The locks at Pedro
Miguel are nearing completion, while
those - at Miraflores are well under
way and will advance rapidly as soon
as the mixing and handling plant
for tbe concrete is established.
In connection with the excavation,
a new development during the 12
months just ended was the increase
in the number of slides in Culebra
cut, the biggest excavation the
world has ever known. The banks
have broken in 22 places in a dis
tance of nine miles in this cut, neces
sitating an addition of 6,104,000
cubic yards to be excavated. The
slides cause no apprehension for the
future, as after the locks are com
pleted, it will be possibleto concen
trate the dredges for removal of the
material that remains and which
may slide in.
"Half of the remaining 44,000,000
cubic yards of excavation to be done
is in Culebra cut. The rate of exca
vation in this cut has increased by a
million cubic yards a year; until dur
ing the 12 months just ended 15,
925,970 cubic yards were taken out.
The" First Confederate Flag
"Furled, But Not Forgotten."
To the Editor: In discussing the
origin and history of the first Con
federate flag some time ago in the
Wyoming hotel lobby here, 1 men
tioned to some that flag or model
offered to the committee appointed
by the Confederate Congress at Mont
gomery, was made by a lady in Wil
son county, at the suggestion of Mr.
Orrin Smith, of Franklin county, N.
C, afterwards Major Smith, C. S. A.
"As stated this was accepted as
"The Flag." And I further stated
that the flag, a very large one, .was
raised on the courthouse square in
Louisburg, on a cypress pole, about
1 00 feet high. This pole was after
wards cut down and used by the
Yankees for "old glory," .at another
place. " I stated that Mr. Smith was
living; also Mr. Perry, "the cham
pion speller of the State," who was
present, together with the largest
crowd ever seen in Louisburg up to
that time, that they could find the.
spot; that perhaps the old end of
the flag staff might be well preserved
cypress never rots under ground
and that this could be placed up
there in the museum at Raleigh and
in its place be placed a North Caro
lina gray granite shaft with the Con
federate flag furled around it, show
ing to the world the spot where the
first flag was raised, and that al
though "furled, it is not forgotten."
I promised $1 for that fund. A Vir
ginia' gentleman, gave - me his
name for $1 if anything was done to
mark the spot. Another from Reids
ville said the same for him, making
$3 actually in my hands for the pur
pose. Will Louisburg give $50
and Franklin county commissioners
give $100, and if 350 others will give
one dollar each, making it a $1 sub
scription, and if the committee ap
pointed should decide that $500
would not buy a suitable marker,
raise more. It can be done. And do
it while the gray is still a reality and
not one of memory.
Now it is up to Louisburg and
Franklin county to have on her soil
an historical spot marked and
marked forever. By all means let
the spot be marked by a popular $1
subscription.

A Good Sign Indeed.
0
(Marshville Home.)
One of the most encouraging signs
of the day is that real manhood and
true worth is coming to the front
that the world is learning to trust
and honor a man for what he is,
rather than for what denomination
al creed he happens to belong to or
what school of partisan politics he
associates himself with. Character
and ability are the only true tests of
any person. The others are non-essentials.
It is a dangerous thing to
give a man or woman a position oi
trust simply because he or she holds
certain political views or is identified
with a particular religious denomi
nation. Yet there are people so nar
row and little and "swunk up" that
they are willing to sacrifice those
traits of character and marks of
ability that would fit a person for a
big responsibility for the sake of de-
nomi nationalism or political preier
ences. Such a one is a menace to a
town or community and isn't fit to
have anything to do with electing or
employing a person to fill a public
office or position. Don't understand
ns to be arffuing against church
work. We believe in that good and
strong, but It is the little ideas that
"we are the whole thing" that Phar
iAiftl feline that we are anruinsr
against, and this writer thinks
mighty little of it, too.
THE HORSE, THE NEGRO AND
THE GR0CERYMAN.
An Open Letter to the Ladles of Hen
deraon. A couple of weeks ago I made use of
these colnmns to defend my friend, the
dog, who had been bo viciously attacked
at the bands of Miss Alpha Omega. - In
this issue I wish to lift my voice again
in behalf of another member of that
brotherhood whieh has been denied the
power of speech the h orse.
Tbe horse does not possess the sagaci
ty which characterizes the dog. Many
.f" those faculties which so eminently
1 jo I fy the latter as the friend and com
panion of man are almost wholly want
ing in the horBe. Yet, in this proud,
noble animal, celebrated through the
centuries for its beauty, its fleetness and
its strength, man finds one of the most
useful of all of his servants. By means
of its strength he has cleared tbe prime
val forest, broken tbe virgin sod of tbe
prairie, and transformed trackless wastes
into fertile fields. It has served us in our
work and in our play, as its fleet and
tireless limbs have drawn our vehicles
over mountain and plain from ocean to
ocean. To strains of martial music it
has carried ua amid the clash of swords
and the roar of cannon over the carnage
of the battlefield.
By the help of the horse we have gone
far in subduing the forces of nature.
Steam and electricity have been bar.
nesged, and tbe tired horse, though still
indispensable, is being relieved of a por
tion of tbe burden it bas borne so long.
Next to man himself he has done the
largest Bhare of the work in bringing
about tbe industrial emancipation of
the race surely he should be permitted
to share in its benefits.
This leads me to speak, and with burn
ing indignation, of cruelty to the horse.
Such a subject reveals tbe inadequacy of
tbe human language. What can we say,
without exceeding tbe conventionalities
of polite speech, of that brute in the
form of a man who would wantonly
maltreat this age-long friend and ser
vant of our race. This writer never
makes the mistake of applying the" term
Christian to the man who is guilty of
unkindness to dumb creatures. Even in
the old dispensation Jehovah reveals His
compassion for the beasts of tbe fields
(Jonah 4:11,) and the New Testament
presupposes that tbe benefits of the re
demption of the world are to be shared
by tbe lower creatures, who have too
long groaned in bondage to the cruelty
of unregenerate man. When men become
Christians they will no longer mistreat
this portion of creation, over which they
are the heaven-appointed guardians.
Judging ourselves by tbe standard just
laid down, we will have to conclude that
Henderson is not yet ready for the com
ing in of the Kingdom. Our sensibility
is continually shocked by the cruelty
with which tbe horse is treated in our
town. I shall not stop to speak of the
poor skeletons that sometimes stagger
aloDg our streets. The man who will
not feed a horse should not be permitted
to own one. I desire in this connection
to mention one ease only the cruelty of
the colored drivers of .our delivery wag
ons.
There is a picture which is ever before
me. I can see it with terrible distinct
ness even in the darkness of the night.
Tbe horse with rather a lean and hungry
look. Bis head held high, as if momenta
rily expecting his mouth to be cut by
the inevitable jerk of the reins. Up hill
and down he goes at break -neck speed as
if fleeing in mortal terror from the cruel
driver who stands upright on the rat
tling, swaying wagon, bracing himself
against the lines, and lashing with his
whip the poor, frightened, fleeing animal.
Prominent among these offenders are
the drivers of some of our grocery wag
ons. Persons living in widely separated
sections of the town have spoken to me
of this cruelty, which goes on unabated
day after day. Such barbarity is a dis
grace to any community. Our Southern
towns are noted for their indifference to
tbe treatment of the horse. I once heard
a Northern person who had lived for a
time in one of the Carohnas make this
remark: "My chief objection to living in
tbe South is due to the cruelty with
which the horse is treated there.
Most of this cruelty, of course, is in
flicted at the bauds of tbe negro drivers.
Servants usually make hard masters.
But we can prevent it in a large measure
if we will. Laws against cruelty to ani
mals prevent abuses in individual cases,
and tend gradually to create a more
humane sentiment. If we do nofalready
have such laws they should be enacted
without delay. A society for the pre
vention of cruelty to animals should
exist in every "civilized" community
until we become civilized.
This letter is addressed to the most
progressive body of our citizens the
ladies of Henderson. No movement for
civic improvement can succeed without
them. No snch movement can fail if
they are behind it. I appeal to them in
behalf of the mistreated horse, unable to
speak for itself, powerless to right its
own crying wrongs.
In the next issue, if I am permitted, I
shall continue this article with some
suggestions as to tbe manner in which
tbe ladies, and also thegrocerymen, may
assist most effectively in correcting the
abuses under consideration. -
Again I beg to subscribe myself,
Most sincerely,
TOWZEftYS FRIEND.

It is estimated by those in position

thing like 250,000 acres in tobacco.
Last year the acreage was 240,000
and the crop- was 129,000,000
pounds. The planting this season
has been rather late on account of
the dry spring. During the dry
weather earlier in tbe season for
transplanting many plants were set
out and watered rather than wait
for rainsjtvben there were plants in
the beds' ready for transplanting.
Stands are much better than expect
