Youd in their demonstrations over
the price of wheat and attribute
the advance to tne Dingley tariff.
Bat not a word do you hear from
them about the way the price of
cotton is going down.

Judge Simonton, of the Federal
Court, has granted an injunction
against the Railroad Commis-
gion restraining them from put~
ting into effect the order that the
Western Union Telegraph (o.

any point in the State from 25 to

~goncluded that it cannot legally
enforce the provision of the
Dingley tariff law forbidding the
insertion of prize coupons and
other gift devices in packages of
cigarettes aud smoking tobacco.

that he hada peculiar case be-

noon. |
The defendants name was Jona-
than J. Martindale, a well to, do
farmer and ex-post master at
Emily post office, which has since
been discontinued, and , the
charge against his was for re-
using postage stamps.
Officer Iseley said that the man
was in good circumstances and
stood well inthe community but
he had been caught re-using
postage stamps on letters eight
different times at Fall Creek and
Advance post offices.
Atthe hearing Thursday the
¢ )mmissioner bound Martindale
over to courtunder a $500 bond
which he readily gave and was
released. The total amonnt he
has defrauded Unsle Sam out of,
so far as known, 18 only sixteen
cents yet for that amount he will
probably have to pay hundreds
of collars before he gets out of
the scrape. Itis a yery unusual
case and the only one of the
kind perhaps that bas come up in
this Sate in years.-"Durham

Size of the Cotton Crop.
The cotton crop and everything
relating to it is of interest to the
people of this State, in wnose
agricultural and industrial life the
fleecy staple cuts so large a
figure.
The acreage and size of the
cotton crop has increased so
largely in the past few years, with
a corresponding decrease in the
price of the product, that it has
been thought proper at planting
time each year to caution the
fartaers against an increased
acreage. |
The warning seems not to
have been headed, and in addi-
tion to an increase in the acreage,
this yearTs crop is, in almost eyery
State except Texas, an exception-
ally good one,
Ana Mr. Henry M. Neill, of the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
whose estimates of the size of
former cotton crops have been
more thar usually correct, comes
forward with the statement that
the crop will be the greatest ever
known, reacaing $10,300,000.
This 1s the largest estimate
vet put forward, and whether it is
correct remains to be seen. But
all the statisticians agree that the
crop will probably exceed that of
any previous year---Charlotte
News.

An Apple in a Watermellon |
eel
Concord correspondent of the
Charlotte. Obseryer: Merchant
John Smith today purchased a lot
of watermelluns from Mr. Paul
Krimmuinger, of No. 11 township,
end one was cutin his store on
the inside of which was an apple
of ordinary size, well developed
and slightly decayed. Of ccurs_
the apple had no sleek peel on it,
but when the melon was halved
the swo pieces of frnit fell ont.
It was left at Mr, SmithTs store
and .the unnatural and almose
ucreasonable growth has been
seen by several hundred people
who will shbstantiate what [
have said. Itis the most won-
derful freak that has turned up
in Cabarrus in many days.
The. Augusta Onronicle says
the Fitzgerald colonists seem to
have caught ou to watermelon cul-
ture all right. They shipped a
melon from Fitzgerald to Wm J.
Bryan weighing over eighty one
pounds. They likewise labled it:

characteristic. He needs rest
bat he cannot rest, while he sees
the dangers that threaten the
peop'e, until he warns them of
them, If it weve not for him
they would soon be rumed and
neyer know it. Others have
lbeen faithless but he has been
faithful always. He has never
deceived anybody, not even
Guthne or Pritchard. In fact,
he is the only genuine. If he
said anything about free silver,
the ObserverTs reporter of his
speech failed to catch 1, for it
does not appear in the report.
Last year everything was free
silver. Now it 1s monopolies and
trusts. The railroads, we are
told, have captured the State.
Yet, two of the three railroad
comnissioners were elected by
Mr. ButlerTs Legislatures"whyT
havenTt ~hey done their duty?
The trusts"oh, yes! The one
that touches the people of Nortn
Carolina most closely is the
tovacco trust. Where was Mr:
Butler and what was he saying
about it when Mr. C. B. Watsou
was fighting it in the Legislature
a few years ago and some of the
balance of us were holding up
his hands? ~Ihe trusts! They
dictated the tariff bill which has
just passed Congress. That the
sugar trust and all the balance of
them, and all the great monopo~
list manufacturers got in that bill
everything they wanted, is a
matter of common knowledge and
public scandal, and yet Mr,
Butler, sitting in the Senate, did
not even record his yote against
it, oThe trusts,� he says, ocan-
not live without denunciation oy
their agents, like McKinley and
Cleveland.� What, tnen shall be
thought of a United States Sen-
ator who denounces them but re-
fuses to vote against them when
they are preparing to fix their
own tariff law upon the country
tor years tocome? Talk at home
is cLeap, but votes in a clone
