A MOVEMENT has been initiated looking
10 the organization OF Womans Suffrage
Association In Memphis, which, IL Is
hoped. may lead TO the formation Of others
In other parts Of the State. In our local
columns We publish report Of this meet
ing, aud also call for another, together
with some reasons why the women Of
Memphis should interest Themselves In Il
aud help 1t by their presence and their
voices. Those who are engaged In this
movement are full Of courage. They have
long nurscd their faith in the ultimate
freedom OF women aud are convinced that
1t is only question Of time and Of a short
time when women will be free before tho
law a. men are free. and there will M
longer be a question OF woman's rights Al
distinguished from mems rights. Every
one who believes In equal aud exact jus
iicc should attend the meeting advertised
Tor and lend their energies TO pushing
along u good cause.

So FAa rs the Samoan Conference has
proceeded, the American Commissioners
have gained their points. The English
Commissioner have remained neutral and
the Germans and Americans have had the
liglt to themselves, which has resulted in
so far securing the neutrality Of the Sa.
moan Islands under protectoratc Of the
three powers, each OF which is to be rep
resented in the governing commission.

how to adapt material and color so as to in

many instances their value. Some of their
work will compare favorably with the best
New York binding, and they are famous for,
following instructions where fine taste sug-
gests departure. We have before US the
four volumes of 'The Battles and Leaders Of

they are equal to the best work of the bindery

North Memphis Market is case in point.
1t has been closed for years without tho
least Inconvenience to the grocers and veg
etable dealers or the public. The South
Memphis Market should, therefore, be
closed, and Its site turned over to the
school commissioners for school building
purposes. But, any way, the market
should be closed, and the butchers and
others be freed from any obligation tc
transact business otherwise than as othel
merchants do,

TIE APPEAL deeply deplores the per-
sonal encounter that, originating in so
shallow u cause, has resulted in the death
OF three Of the leading citizens Of Forrest
City, and the wounding Of fourth. II is
a direct result OF the race feeling that has
only smouldered in Arkansas since the
election. 1t is very much to be dePlored.

TnE strike OF tho coal miners OF West
phnlia affords another striking example OF
the evil results ofmonopoly growing cut ola
high tariff. When this tariu was brought
to its present condition promises were
steadily held out TO the working classes Of
Germany that they would share in its
profits. But they have waited for this
share, and waited in vain. Reduced al.
most TO starvation, what else could they
do but striker A German journalist who
knows the country and tho people writes
that II man among these miners Of
wcs,phalia is fortunate enough TO have
work all the year round-sometimos they
are laid off for pcriods-ho makes about
S9OOa year. "Not very splendid amount,
considering that ont Of 1t lac has to pay
for oil, cartridges, powder and the tools
ho uses. Even under the condition OF
prices there a miners family often finds
il difficult enough 10 make both ends
meet The tariff has increased the cost Of
tho nccessaries Of life. Coffee, bread,
flour, pork, lard, beef. sugar and no forth
are heavily taxed. Salt costs ten pien
ningi a pound, out Of which six pien
nngs go into the cotlersoi the Treasury.
And so Il is all the way through. Is it,
wonder, then, that these people should
finally ask for a recognition Of their claims
out Of the much.puised results Of the
protection policy"

THE TWENTY.NINTH EXHIBIT IN
RALEIGH NEXT WEEK..

The Exhibits will be Well W Orth a Vis-
it--All the North Carolina World and
its w ife and Daughters Ought to Come.
When the next issue of the STATE CHRON
ICLE reaches its readers the Goth State
Fair will have opened its gates to the pub
lie and it desires now to recall to the
farmers of the State the fact that it is
THEIR Fair and that they are really inter
ested in it's character and results. 1t is
not more than justice to the present man
agement to say that its aim has been to
make 1t part of the Agricultural interests
of the State. The amusements, horse
jockeying and the usual but comparatively
worthless parts of such congregations of
people have been in large measure thrown
out or subordinated to the higher idea of
making it an illustrative object lesson.
the State have been invited to compete in
a friendly rivalry for prizes worth con
tending for in a money point of view and
more largely so as evidence of successful
work. We cannot say how many Allan
ces, or Oranges. or Clubs will avail them
selves of the generous offers of the Society
and will show the farming world what
organized farmers are doing. We hope
and believe that these exhibits alone will
be worth visit to the State Fair.
1t is Just to the railroads TO say that
they have been liberal and accommodate
ing in their arrangements with the Fair
management. Not only have they put
the passenger travel within the means of
everybody, but they are hauling the ex-
hibits free and have made such accom-
modating schedules as to make it possible
for North Carolina folks living at consid-
cradle distance from the capital to leave
home day light, visit the Fair and return
to sleep III Their own b,,.s. THIS looks like
progress. But all lesson and no play time
makes even the farmers dull folks and 50
visitors can rely upon variety of nonsen
steal things To make them lively, and curl
osites that will interest them.
The marriage of one of the Alliances
sons in their cherished cotton bagging is
to be a real thing 1t illustrates the deep
interest that the working farmers have
taken in the great tight that ;ney have
just Won. It is worth coming 70 see it..
But it is useless TO 90 into detail
The Fair is upon us and it i, going to be
a good Fair, a blg Fair, a Very biz Fair,

Chaplain of The State Alliance After the
ceremony the presentation of presents will
follow.
1t is only necessary that the public, and
especially the Alliance, should know OF
the event, to show their appreciation of
the allegiance of the couple to the cause
bv the presentation of suitable and GpprO
pirate presents.
1t is believed that the largest crowd Of
the week will be at the Fair on Tuesday,
and this event alone is sufficient to repay
the people for their attendance.
