WANT FREE WOOL.
A Memorial from the Wool Consumer
Association.

"A HAOGUUEhA1 1EOH ln0 w UOA NOU0umGfB'
Association.
RosroN, June ia memorial in favor of
free wool is being sent to the senate finance
committee by the Wool Consumers Associ-
aaion. It closes thus: As all wool grown
in the world is now wanted, American
growers could hardly be injured by read
justment of values. If, at the worst, his
product should fall slightly in price, he
would get compensated soon by a larger
and more certain demand from stimulated
and increased manufacture.
The half-bred mutton sleeps wool in
warp works admirably with rejected wools
and ..fbres and Monteyideo feeces in I'LL
ing; thus mutton docks would be stimulated
through importation of free raw materials
The American consumer of woolens and
worsteds would get better fabrics at prices
generally lower.

w. H. Kiichin for Congress

EGITOR GOLD LEAF:-A candidate for
Congressional honors is soon to be Sc
le'ted to lead the Democracy of the ex-
hlack-belt district. The tremendous cxo-
d;is OF the negroes last winter and spring
renders it easy for the Democracy to win
if it is properly marshalled in the coming
contest.
A man of experience, ability, good
speaker and an unsullied Democrat is
wanted. The Hon. W. H. Kitchin fills all
these requirements. He has served al
ready i'll the Congress, is an able law
vera powerful debater and his Democracy
is guilt-edge.
Now is the time to redeem the old

passion handles, and which, when
handled BY the skilled and plastic
fingers of the gifted Henry, doth start
"the senses in widest phrensy rolling, y
and s,irs with the thrill of its own
subtle powers the deepest emotions of

would gem with the jewel of richest
radiance the cOronet of any effort.
WE notice that some OF our ex-
changes reporting the proceedings of
the Sudicial convention at Rocky
Mount last week in giving the final
vote record only as being cast for
MIR. Henry. That is accounted for by
reason of the fact that his whole
strength with the exception Of the one
vote was given complimentary to Mr..
Woodland on the last ballot in return for
the ia votes given Mr.. Henry by Viii
on county on the ballot just previous.
THE Federal Elections Bill is de-
signed to perpetuate that party in ex-
istenCe, and not in the interest of fail
elections in the South or anywhere
else. For example, it would give the
party in power between 100000 and
100000 additional places to fill with
It's heelers. 1t would cost the Gov
eminent about sI2,ooo,ooo annually

If Henderson is to continue to grow

must do their duty toward pushing her
forward. They must seize the oppor-

grasp the key to the situation in North

indeed Have you, business men OF

direct from GAINESVILLE and the road
