Their Incompeteney Offset by the Fact
That They Are Cheap.
There have been a number Of rail
way accidents resulting from the negli-
gence or incompetence Of telegraph
operators. Some Of these have caused
aloss Of life, as in the recent accident at
Syracuse, and in Others the damage has
been confined TO property. The Rail-
way Telegrapher, which is the official
paper Of the Order Of Railway Teleg-
raphers Of North America, prints a sen
sible article on this subject which is
worth calling attention to.
The article dwells upon the great re

An Event at the Capital

Mark Twain said he did not love his
child, but that he respected it for its
fathers sake. We don't love Raleigh
but we do respect it because it is the cap

yet Raleigh IS queer. Says letter from
there: "On the morning OF the Goth Il
red-headed girl baby, with blue eyes a
month old, was found near the railroad
depot in vacant lot in Raleigh in a
basket"
Raleigh is so quiet that a rcd-headed
baby with blue eyes a month old can be
heard all over town, and in no time at
all the newspapers there had printed
columns about the new discovery. In
Asheville red-headed babies are so com

yIvID CLEANLINESS
When Shall we see AslicNille I.ikt,

From the Chicago Herald.
The condition OF all French roadways
and public places may be described in a
few words-thcy arc almost without cX-

streets and pavcmcnts are free from the
abomination of mud and filth. No refuse
OF any kind lis permitted to accumulate i'll
any public place within the city so that
no matter how high the wind there is no
dust in the air. When it rains film Of
sand is spread over the street crossings,
the moisture is thus absorbed and the
tootway rendered passable to the dain-
test OF boots.
To say that the streets are absolutely
clean expresses the truth, but doesn't
convey vivid picture Of their cleanliness
to the mind. Time and again one eau

Mr.. Wharton left here few years ago

he had a strong preference for Miss Ha-

for Maryland, and nothing was heard
from her until yesterday when it was an.
nounced that she was married to Mr..

Don't Want the Earth.

Harrison is now turning out democrats.
They want the earth. Something very
peculiar about democrats. They will
accept office from republicans and vote
against them.-Greensboro North State
But the fact is the republicans party
does not own the Offices. They are as
much the property of the democratic
party as of the republican. Such po-
sitions as are not by any possibility con-
nected with President Harrison's policy"
(if he has one) should be filled by the
best talent to be had for the money, ire
spective of politics. By the way, right
here in North Carolina Mr.. Harrison
turned out of Office some men whom
he had to re-hire; and they were demo-
Gratis. They were re-hired because they
knew more of certain business than

BARON HIRscH says in regard to his
plans for the amelioration of the condi-

that this may not i'll the end be the
worse for the Hebrews. The worst
thing that could happen to them would
be to continue for an indefinite period
the wretched existence which they have
hitherto led without any hope OF improv-
ing their condition in the future.

THEY Cay FOR RYE.
Consul Mason Tells the Story
Of the Great Shortage in
Russia.
Germany Obliged to Pay
Over SEQ Per Ton for It's
Bread Supply.
The Owners Of American Rye
Can Now LuXuriate in
Diamonds.
Commissioner Raum Explains
Why Pension Letters Are
Answered Slowly.

WASHINGTON. Sept. IS. Consul Gem
eral Mason, of Frankfort, in report to
the state department Oh what he terms
the German crisis in breadstuffs, pre-
sents some very interesting statements
respecting the most notable CONNER
cal event of the year in Europe-the
Russian decree forbidding the eXporta-
ton of rye from Russia 10 any foreign
country. This Mr.. Mason regards as
equivalent to an official declaration that
the harvest of cereals in Russia is so
deficient that the export of rye must be
forbidden in order to avert danger of
famine there. Mr.. Mason presents some
data which shows how seriously this
unexpected edict is likely to affect the
bread supply Of Germany. Very little
pure wheat bread, he says, is eaten by
the middle and lower classes in
Germany. The "statf of life," to a
vast ma jOrity of the Germans, is black
bread, made with flour ground from a
mixture of rye and an inferior quality
OF wheat. The consumption Of this
material is so enormous that Germany
imported 947,374 tons of rye, of which
50 per cent, as well as So per cent of the
Whole import of wheat in Germany.
came from Russia. The recent edict
therefore cuts off nearly five-siXths of
the entire foreign rye supply of Ger
many. How difficult it would be to
fill this great deficit by increased trans
portatious from other countries, Mr..
Mason says, will be evident from the
hot
Germany, from 1884 to 1888. from six
countries which rank next to Russia as
producers of cereals, averaged but
g, 1922 3l bushels year. This is barely
one-fOurth of the rye expectation TO
Germany from Russia last year
Mr.. Mason thinks it doubtful, in
view of the short cereal crops which
prevailed this summer more or less uni
fOrmly throughout Europe. whether
France, Roumania or Servia will have
any considerable surplus of rye for eX-
port. The deficit in Germany, thera-
tore, cannot be filled from any known
source of supply on that side of the At
lantic, and the effect of the situation
upon the rye market has been startling.
a year ago rye sold i'll Berlin for $50 per
ton of 2, 240 pounds; Oh the Sd of August
last the effect of the meager harvest
had raised the market price to 1922 per
ton. Then came the Russian edi.t, and
within two weeks the price had risen to
$6l.SS per ton. Add to this short and
inferior potato crop throughout nearly
the whole of Germany, and il will be
seen, Mr.. Mason says, that the food
question there has assumed an ominouS
aspect, and in the end the people of
Germany, France and England will
have to draw upon the well filled grana.
Ties of the United States for large part
OF their food supply during the coming
