Of this paper has been close reader

Press ASSOCIATION has had much to do
with the progress of North Carolina
Journalism. One thing that is specially
noticeable now, is the unity of the
press in all measures where it is posi-

ble in large number OF our exchanges.
We have, in the main, a fearless set of
men, who strike deep at the root of
evil in almost every form. Indeed
some think our editors are too quick
but that is going too far. The safety
of our country lies in the free use of
printers ink, guided by an honest pen.
That we as profession make errors is
true; that we strike the right chord
oftener than we err, is truer still. In
this noble army of quill drivers, is rep

have passed the meridian of their life,
still buoyant in the great work of edu-
eating the people in way that schools

DEAD-BEAT ADVERTISERS AGAIN.


The GOLD LEAF is glad to see some
of lis State exchanges speaking out OH
the subject of dead-beat advertisers
swindlers who would willfully defraud
publisher, and those who would cheat
him Of his honest dues (full pay) while
they grudgingly accord him part.
That is right F.; speak out and spare NOT.
We are proud of the independent bust
ness like stand many of the papers take
in dealing with these fellows. Com
menting on what the Concord Times
said under the heading of "Dead-beat
Advertisers" the Tarboro Banner says:
The Concord Times tells of an offer
by Hewett & Hosier to sell their $500
paper cutter payable in advertising.
We too received that offer, and know
ing the price of paper cutters to be so
far below that, looked up price list
and found the same cutter advertised
for $1,000.
Rowell offered us 81 LESS commission
for one inch one year. We refused it
We get $40 from our home advertisers
and surely they are entitled to our best
terms. We wrote him that he could
get it for $40 less bis commission, and
that advertisement is in the Banner,
but he has never offered us another.
AS all must get a living out of their
business, we do not refuse agents a
liberal commission, but our rates are
printed, we stick to them, and do not
allow dead beats to dictate prices.
We are working for home interests
and want home advertising-home
patronage-but do not object to other
advertising at our rates.
The Times is right when it says,
"there must be some who accept them,
or they would not be sent
We are also with it when It says:
awe hope there is not publisher
in North Carolina who would defraud
his home advertisers, stultify himself
and disgrace his profession by accept
ing five columns of advertisements
from an agent for about $40 column
year, payable in chips and whetstones.
If such there be, go mark him we'll.

Lieut.. W. II. Beehler in March Century,
The captain of the ship Martha Cobb.
loaded with petroleum, fell in with sinking
vessel during heavy gale in the North At
lantic in December. 1885, The signal made
stated the vessel was sinking and that all
her boats had been stove. The Martha Cobb
had lost her large boats, her bulwarks
washed out, and decks swept in the same
storm the only boat left was small sixteen
loot dingey, which could not possibly live in
the sea that was then running. The captain
says ne was puzzled and lay by for some
hours hoping that the gale would moderate |:
out as there was no appearance of better
weather and night coming on, he decided to
make an attempt to rescue the crew of the
sinking vessel. The Martha Cobb had a
cargo OF petroleum, some of which leaked
and the captain had noticed that the sea in
tne wake OF the snip was much smoother
when the pumps were worked,
HE signaled to the other vessel to haul bv
the wind while he luffed to get to windward.
and at the same time started the pumps: but
the ship drlfted faster than the oil, and while
tne OIL made the sea comparatively smooth to
Wlndward, 1t did not cover the sea leeward
DE theE ran down across the other vessels
stern, hauled up close under her lee. and
started the pumps again, at the same time he
emptled fiys.gallon can Of fish oil down the
scuppers. The effect was magical In
twenty minutes the sea between and around
tue vessels was broken down. The long
heavy swell remained, but the combers and
breaking seas were all gone. The little din
gey with three men had no difficulty in pull
ling to windward, and the crew were saved.
The boat was deeply loaded and did not ship
any water, although the sea was breaking
herceiy outside of the charmed space in
which the vessels lay on oiled seas.
In June, 1885, the Britishship Silver more
took fire and had to be abandoned when
eight hundred miles northeast of the Sew
chelle Islands, Indian Ocean. The peopie
took to the boats and made for SeycheIle
Islands. The third day after leaving the
vessel cyclone came up, and 10 one beliey-
ed that the boats would live through IL.
Before they left the ship the boats had been
supplied with oil for just such an emergency.
Each boat got out drag made of spars and
oars dashed together for what is known as
sea-anchor. Oakum saturated with paraffine
was stuffed In long stockings hung over the
bows of the boats. Before the oil was used
the boats had been several times nearly filled
with water and the occupants had to bail for
their lives; but when oil was applied no fur
ther trouble was experienced. An oil-slick
formed around the boats, which rode In per-
feet safety on tremendous swells which took
the place of the previous breaking seas.
Little II any water came over the sides of the
boats, and the occupants could lie down and
sleep. The boats eventually reached the
Islands, but every soul would have persisted
except for the forethought of Captain Comfy.

In letter to the PRESS early in January

for railroad purposes This statement by
the company was predicated on the assump-
ton THAT the property could be sold for
$4,000, an assumption which doubtless the

but which was subsequently shown to be
well founded. for at meeting of the Board
VI Aldermen held in the evening of the very
same day on which the Portland & Rochester
company fully agreed with the PRESS, Mr..
Edward p. Chase, perfectly responsible
gentleman, declared in the presence of the
aldermen, and the President of the Portland

:. clt'zens, that he was willing to take the
property at $4,000, providedItbat the Board

declaration that If the property could be
sold for that price 1t was too valuable for
railroad purposes, how can the Portland q
Rochester Railroad Company justify its atti-
tude today on this question? Is 1t not IN
honor bound by its own declarations to with
draw its petition, and seek some other route
to the Union passenger station?
Evidence of the fearful disturbance OF the
Augusta mind continues to come in. Yes
terday the PRESS received from Franklin
county big blue sheet Of paper covered
over on both sides with the speeches when
the Augusta gentlemen made at the last
hearing on the removal of the Capital, TO-
gether with column headed "Architectu-
raj" containing an alleged report OF the ex-
animation of the Portland architect by Mr..
o. ID. Baker. The manner in which the
prowess of the latter gentleman is set
forth In this .'architeeuraP' column sug-
gests that it might have been prepared
by that gentleman himself, though 1t is
alleged to be ..as reported for the press"
Here" says this veracious chronicle, "Mr.
Baker took the witness and promptly
squelched him." The witness appears, how
ever, not to have stayed squelched, for later on
under the merciless fire OF the Hon. o. d Bak..
er, he is reported as equiyocating Still later
Mr.. Baker is reported as asking question
that was too much for him, "amid round
after round Of applause from the heme peo-
ple." 1t nowhere appears in this broadside
that anybody spoke in favor Of the removal.
The impression sought to be conveyed is
that the Portland gentlemen who were In
attendance were a lot of hoodlums, who, to
quote the language of this account, .scheered
and hooted In an endeaver to break the force
OF the argument made by the Augusta gen.
tlemen." Everybody knows who was pres
emit at that hearing that this statement or
insinuation is contemplate falsebood.
There was applause from both sides, but the
hearing was perfectly orderly affair. There
was no hooting. and no attempt to embarrass
any of the speakers The one sldedness of
this document is to be accounted for no
doubt by the fact that the Augusta gentle
men dared not give the other side. They
were afraid to let an impartial report go
out lest it would destroy their case.
The architect is singled out for special
attack and misrepresentation because he
wouldn't accommodate the Augusta gentle
men by testifying that State House could
not be built for less than million and a
half or two millions.

Major Holman S. Melcher Is in every way
worthy Of the solid and enthusiastic support
of the Republicans of Portland. In charac-
ter. ability and experience he is unex-
ceptionable His election will ensure
clean and capable administration of public
affairs in the interest of all the people. The
only possible doubt Of his election lies In the
direction of over confidence. There is some
danger that some Republicans assuming
that his election is assured may not take the
trouble to go to the polls. That danger
should be guarded against. Every Republi-
can should see that his vote is thrown and
thrown for Major Melcher.
