UNHORSE THE TRUSTS.
We will never have free,
disinterested and
patriotic legislation Congress,
when the issue is between tho
people and interests,
until the Trusts unhorsed.
For a generation they have
omnipotent, have shaped
in matters in which they
were interested, and have had
their own way as much so as if
they absolutely owned the Con-
of the United States. There
never has a time in the past
thirty years when they didn't have
their trusty representatives in
both Houses of Congress, and
there never will be a time when
they will not until the power of
the Trusts is broken.
The Trusts have been an ob-
in the way of tariff
for years; they are the ob-
to-day when we have the
disgusting spectacle of
a handful of Senators standing
in the way and declaring that
there shall be no tariff reform,
although millions of Democrats
demand it. and they themselves
are pledged to it. unless the inter-
which they represent, which
are controlled by Trusts, are taken
care of the way prescribe.
There are forty-four Democratic
Senators, thirty-six of whom are
in accord with their party in the
demand for tariff reform, while
the other eight have formed a
combine of their own to thwart
the will of the majority unless
they can make the conditions
upon which a tariff bill will be
permitted to pass, tho voice of the
people be heard and the pledges
of the party redeemed.
It is the first time, as tar as our
knowledge goes, when the Trust
has had its hands on the throat
of the Democratic party and
to it tho terms upon which
it might legislate It has
come to this, that about a
half dozen Senators, posing as
representatives of States, but
really representatives of
rate interests, insist that no tariff
legislation pass which does
not give those corporate interests
special favors, and an opportunity
to levy tribute upon the people
as they have been doing for years.
It is useless and silly to assert,
or for these representatives of
corporate interests to pretend,
that they are actuated in the
course they are pursuing by a
to promote the public
fare, or give the country a tariff
bill which could lay and claim to
being a Democratic measure in a
strict sense or the common
Democratic acceptation. They
have the effrontery to contend
that they are justified in the
course they are pursuing because
these corporate interests have so
long enjoyed special that
it would disturb them to
be deprived of these favors now,
and furthermore they
enjoyed so long that they

have become a sort of vested
right, and they make this
with a and
that would admirable if
it were not so offensive to decency.
Aside from the culpability of
laboring to defeat the will of the
people, and forcing them to con-
tribute payers to Trusts and
combines despite their reiterated
and emphatic protests, a
table and treacherous feature of
their game has been their co-
operation with the enemies of the
Democratic party, the aid and
comfort they have given the op-
position in its fight against all
tariff reform, and thus utilizing
the votes of the Republicans in
Congress to put the Democratic
party practically upon the Re-
publican platform and make it,
like the Republican party, a party
with protection as its cardinal
principle in tariff legislation.
This is in effect what these Demo-
Senatorial representatives
of corporate interests have been
and are doing in the treacherous
and outrageous opposition they
have been making to the demands
of the party to which they claim
-to belong and in the disloyal
fight they have been waging
against the majority of their
Democratic colleagues in both
Houses of Congress.
Faithless to the people and to
the party which put them in the
positions they occupy they are
faithful, zealously faithful, to the
corporate interests which in this
tariff fight they are standing by,
with a persistence and
worthy of a better cause.
They may personal interests
to as well as in the in
of agents of these
rate interests, as has been
charged, to account for their
disloyal course to the people and
the Democratic party, but
whether or not it is clear that
these corporate interests own
them, that these corporate
interests will always be a mighty
and moving factor in national
legislature until the power of the
trust is broken. If it be not bro-
ken now the people will find a

On last Sunday Miss M- F.

Messenger, ran away to South

Mr. Gilmore claims that his son

The girl was here seeking ad-

BAD FOR THE EYES.
An eminent oculist declares
that typewriting has injurious
effect on the eyes, says the Read-
Times.
The operator is obliged to
glance incessantly back and
forth from the keyboard to the
shorthand notes, and this is a
muscular exercise of the most fa-
force. For this reason, the
oculist urges, it is for
typewriters to cultivate a
with the keyboard similar
to that possessed by the
pianist with tho
of his instrument, so that it
be necessary to look at tho keys
as little as possible.
While the injury that may re-
to tho eyes of a hard-working
who is not sure of her
and is not to be
regarded too lightly, it is not
likely to near as serious as
that resulting from the practice
indulged in by so many these
days of railroad travel of
tent reading on trains. This
is most trying on those deli-
muscles that the

Tho danger greatest, of course,

is imperfect and whose rails
are roughly laid, producing

though much relief may be

In the case of a person who

years from eye disorder, due to
train reading, neither rest nor
professional skill availed until by
accident the yellow window

was employed removed,

The Rep. Pop. Fusion as Seen Abroad.
The Republicans of North
Carolina propose to follow the
example of their brethren in
Alabama by fusing the sorry
remnant of their organization
with the Populists. There is no
surer sign of the decay of a patty
than in its seeking after such an
alliance- What makes this coal-
of the enemies of the Demo-
party in North Carolina
more necessary, and at the same
time more precarious, is the
loss of the colored voters by the
Republicans. As the colored
citizens have become more in-
and more keenly alive to
the value of their political rights
the Republican hold upon them
has become more feeble. But
tho Republican loss has not
the gain, and the two
factions united in North Carolina
will not be able to make head
against the old fashioned

DEMOCRATIC STATE-
The Democratic convention
which met in Raleigh on last
Thursday was in many respects a
great body. It was truly a rep-
gathering- Men of
all professions and occupations
were among its delegates. The
Democrat of years of hard labor
for the party was there, and the
young both in years and service
showed by their enthusiasm that
they realized that the party that
this convention represented was
the hope of North Carolina. In
appearance, intelligence. and
good works this convention has
had no superior- Some were
lost the convention
would go too too much.
Others equally that they
not go far too
little. All such apprehensions
are now relieved and it can truly
be said of this body that they did
and said just what every Demo-
in the State can say amen to,
and stand by with a courage and
vim that will insure a triumphant
victory in November nest. There
was no straddling issues, nothing
was left vague and undefined. On
the contrary the platform rings
out clear and explicit in reference
to every issue in which the people
are interested, and no man. he
ever so designing, can put any
construction upon any part of it
but its words clearly
convoy. Whoever wrote this

language and deserves to

we nevertheless advocate as a
matter of State policy such
and restriction of the issues,

Carolina as will secure a sound

Resolved That we admire
the courage and lofty patriotism
of the President; that we most
heartily commend his prompt and

Tho following is the resolution
which was adopted in regard to
Senator
WHEREAS, Since the Democratic
party of North Carolina last as-
in convention, death has
claimed Hon. B.
the State's most illustrious
it is by this convention.
Resolved, That appreciating his
conspicuous abilities and his long
and most honorable public
vices, profound sorrow is express-
ed on account of tho calamity
which has fallen upon tho State
in tho event referred to. we ad-
mire the noble life, public and
private, of this eminent citizen,
and refer to it as the noblest ex-
ample of North Carolina man-
hood.
A resolution of thanks to the
officers, and especially to retiring
chairman Simmons, was passed
and the convention adjourned-
At a meeting of the State Ex-
after the con-
adjourned Hon- James H
of Johnston, was elected
chairman. Hon. W- R. Henry
was elected to fill his place on
the committee. The selection of
Cleveland's administration as
some politicians boastfully assert.
Thirdly that tho vote in
the South can no longer be turn-
ed in any. direction which the
white Republicans desire.
In both States Democratic
party was confronted by all op-
posing elements united. I a Ala-
the had also the
advantage, if there be any
in fighting an out and out
administration man. The result
in both States was all that could
have been asked by the most
dent Democrat. Tennessee's ma-
was good enough, but when
upon which the
opposition staked so much and
spent so much cash, sang out with
Democratic majority it just
electrified the Democracy of the
United States and the
or or whatever
they then there were,
began to visible signs of
what they will surely be when the
returns are all in, woeful
Tennessee and Ala-
down in the right column.
Senator Hill has all the time at
heart hoped that the tariff bill
with the income tax attached
would fail to pass. On last Sat-
he offered a resolution in-
the conferees of tho
Senate to return the bill to the
Senate. This would have
vented the House even having a
chance to agree to the Senate
amendment to the Wilson bill and
in consequence there would
been, no legislation at this
session of Congress- In other
words this would have killed the
bill. He came very near succeed-
Senator moved
to go into executive session. The
vote on this motion was for
and against. Vice-President
Stevenson appears on the stage,
however, at this point, and saved
his party by voting for the mo-
and thus defeating the Bill
resolution for the time being. So
Senator Hill fails again. It is
believed now that the House will
have to accept the Senate bill as
the last resort- It has made a
fight for a better bill and
in this they have the universal
approval of the people. The re-
for not getting a bet-
bill lies with the in
the Senate. The people know
this and will not forget it.

words, that a man who had been
officially found unfit to be an

in Grover Cleveland's character
his absolute determination to do

The Republicans Congress

movement might be made the en-
wedge to break up the sol-

Needless to say that the
Democratic colleagues of Gov-
Oates were delighted
at his success, and doubly so be
cause he has always stoutly op-
posed like concessions
to the populists. President Cleve-
land also had good reason to feel
gratified, as Col- Oates from the
beginning of his campaign for
the nomination had been classed
as the Cleveland candidate. This
election has thrown a wet blanket
over the loud mouthed, but poor-
individuals who
have been prophesying
to the Populists in
the South at the expense of the
Democratic party. It also
convinced many that the Demo-
will retain control of tho
House at the coining
election.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas,
was not speaking at random when
he said is absurd to talk
about the sugar trust owning the
Senate. I believe that the trust
would willingly give a million
dollars to be assured that there
be no tariff legislation, as
under the existing law
its profits would be vastly greater
than under any Democratic tariff

Washington, D. C, August
is tho hour before day that
is always the Just
when Democrats almost despaired
of any agreement ever being
reached on the tariff and the out-
look was at its darkest, the day
of tariff reform began to dawn,
and now the sun is brightly
shining upon an agreement which,
if it does meet with the
approval of Democrat,
can be honestly and
supported by every Demo-
without loss of dignity or
smirching of party principles
The agreement is not a victory
for either House or Senate it is
victory for the great Democratic
party of the country, which made
its wishes known in Washington,
and there should not be any
doubt of its prompt
by both House and Senate.
There isn't as far as the House is
concerned, but unfortunately,
things do not look so promising
in the Senate, where threats have
been made which may be carried
out the will of the party be
defeated by the votes of the
of the party. However, let
us not borrow trouble when we
should rejoicing over the end
of the long dead-lock. It may
that the threats referred to which
were made before the agreement
was reached by the conferees,
were merely made for bluffing
purposes, and that the only
the agreement will have to
meet in the Senate will be the
attempt of the Republicans to
postpone a vote by dilatory
tics. Next week will probably
tell story.

Use Proper Bagging.
We have been shown by Messrs
J. B. Cherry it Co. a circular re
by them which is of
interest to all cotton growers.
This circular is signed by the
treasurers of the various cotton
companies through-
out the New England States and
reads as
Treasurers of Cotton
Manufacturing Companies in New
England, hereby enter our pro-
test against the use of sugar sacks
in the covering of cotton bales in
the States growing cotton, for the
reason that, being closer than the
ordinary jute bagging, it takes
water quicker, absorbs more, re-
it longer, and stains and
damages the cotton immediately
next the covering much more than
the jute- Any extra loss to the
mills from such covering would
cause us to reject cotton thus
In view this our farmers
should be very careful not to use
any covering that will injure the
sale of their cotton.
Competitive Examination.
The County Superintendent of
Public Instruction on Friday
held an examination of applicants
for appointment to the Normal
and Industrial school at Greens-
There were four young
ladies present for examination.
The Superintendent requested
Messrs. G. B. King W- F.
Harding to assist examining
and grading the papers handed
by the applicants they
decided that the contest between
Misses Ada Tyson and
Tripp was so close that tho names
of both will in with re-
quest that both be admitted.
The difference in the average be
tween these two on the whole
examination was a fraction over
taking us the maximum.
This was in of Miss
so that if only one can admit-
she will get tho appointment.
These papers were examined
by number and tho average was
made before it was known who
tho parties were. We like this
way for competitive examinations.
It insures justice.

The school for
the white district embracing tho
town of Greenville have
ed a lot in and are
having lumber placed thereon for
the erection of a good public
school building- So it turns out
that tho
of another over the lot
its editor had caused to be
to tho neglected
and tho advertising for
bids on the and
of tho hundred
dollar school they should
have even if he had to raise the
money and build it himself, was
just another instance of
one's own It us,
too, that because the
did not jump up and help him
jubilate it was insinuated that
this was too lazy
to pick up a news item when it
was thrown right in front of it.
But tho knew what it
was doing, so plodded along in
the even tenor of its way, know-
it would be time enough to

to for.
Since the first Monday in June
has gone by it seems that some
papers do not pick up school
items with as much alacrity as
formerly, they even allowing tho
to be
the first to announce that the
committee has a lot
and lumber was being placed
thereon.
It is now in order to
late tho school committeemen

lot and proceeding to build
the house, and also to
late tho children that Greenville
will soon have a good public
school building for their benefit-

RETROSPECTIVE.
Four years ago when Greenville
launched out as a tobacco market
there were grave doubts and
many misgivings as to what the
result would be. Like every
other new enterprise it had its
enemies, and unfortunately in
this case the enemies of the
Greenville market, or a good
many of them, ought to have been
its strongest supporters and best
friends. No doubt but that the
opposition was honest, at any
rate we give credit for such. A
good expressed the opinion
that we could not have a market
here because -because and a
thousand without
signing any legal reason. Time
is what a good many have done
for Greenville and in the short
space of four years see what re-
have been accomplished-
There is no market in North
Carolina or Virginia to-day that
truthfully say it pays more for
tobacco than Why
Because the men who a few years
ago bought your tobacco where
ever it was sold are here to-day
right here in Greenville, and if
you don't believe it come down
and we will prove it to you. We
do not say the same men rep-
of the same concerns,
and it is not a sign of business
that two men buying for the same
man will be allowed to pay more
for the same goods on one mar-
than on another. Pay strict
attention to the above and read
it over again. This is exactly
what we have. The same men
are here that are on every other
market and if the warehouses will
drive hard our warehouse-
men bear that there
is no possible chance for any
market to beat us. They can't
do it. Though may say
they can-
We, for one, as a citizen of
Greenville and Pitt county, feel
proud of the record that our
market has made. We have been
moving slowly but surely toward
that which should be uppermost
in every man's business under-
goal of success-
We feel proud of tho fact that
our feeble efforts combined with
others has helped to place
ville beyond the lino of doubt and
caused capital in the hands of
timid people to be turned loose
in the further advancement of the
market's interests.
Yes. our merchants four years
ago looked upon the market as a
doubtful chance, but they have
been convinced, we are glad to
say. and the merchants of Green-
ville to day almost without an ex-
are with
the warehouse people and doing
all in their power to encourage
and promote the tobacco inter-
here.
First, last and all the
forts have been and shall be in the
of tho eastern tobacco
industry. So long as we can do
anything for the tobacco interests
of Greenville and Eastern Caro-
we shall continue to
Two years ago Mr. Whichard
kindly gave us page of the

that time we have made good use
of the space which he so willing-
allowed us and tho work that
have done through this
um, we feel thankful to say, has
met the endorsement of the ma-
of the Pitt county people.
To who spoken and
feel kindly of our work in this
lino we want to express our most
sincere thanks and deep
and promise that our work
in the future as in the past shall
be an unselfish devotion to the
entire tobacco interests. With
these words for the past we
launch off into tho new tobacco
year more encouraged for the
welfare of the market than ever
before.

Every year we get additions from

what they want and if they can't
get it on the older markets where

manufacturing of any kind going
on, no varied industries but
very little diversification of crops,
and thus it was that the people of
Pitt county moved and lived not
much more than a decade ago.
How vastly different are things
to-day. Cotton as the principal
monetary crop of the farmers got
down below the cost of

of invention, in 1885 it was

began the cultivation of tobacco.
In one little community including
a farmers the
of tobacco was first begun.
How far it has spread and how
extensively it is cultivated over
the vast alluvial lands of Eastern
Carolina to-day nearly every
knows. At the lowest calculation
there are twenty thousand acres
of the golden weed growing in
the eastern counties and the fact
that Greenville is situated right
in the heart of this far famed
golden region suggests mighty
and wonderful possibilities for
Greenville's near future. Only a
few years ago many will
that Greenville was complete-
on a standstill, but with the
introduction of tobacco culture
and many other new enterprises,
new life seems to have been in-
fused into the sordid veins of our
people, and Greenville got up
and took a new step
ward in a different direction.
Up to this time as we have said
before, cotton formed the
pal crop, but now diversified
farming has taken its place,
king cotton stepped to the rear
and and tobacco took its
place- Immediately there was
necessity for a tobacco at

The Valuable Citizen.
The citizen who is of the most
value to a community, town or
city is not always the man who
possesses the most wealth, the
highest intelligence or the most
aristocratic lineage. Of course
the two former will increase a
man's usefulness if he will but
exert them in the proper
But the valuable citizen
par excellence is the man who
believes thoroughly in his town,
its people and its business and
professional men. He does not
make it his business to the
honesty of his local banker or
merchant or the ability of the re-
lawyer or physician- But
instead he is an enthusiastic ad-
of all things that pertain
to the welfare of his own locality-
He has the interest of its schools,
churches, societies and people at
heart and exploits their excel-
