POOR JOE CALDWELL.

The Reidsville Reviev attempted
recently to demolish Joe Caldwell, of
the Statesville Landmarks, whereat
that purist of the Hickory Press and
Carolinian, Brother Murrill, comes to
the relief of the honored President of
the North Carolina Press Association
Che needs no defender, however,) and
utters the following truism:
When the Reidsville RevieW speaks
of the Statesville Landmark as "edited
by that distinguished disciple of medi-
ocrity and obtuseness, Joseph Cald
well, ESQ.," we are reminded of the
thousand and one times we have seen
young pups and little lap-poodles bark
at big dogs. They are all alike
youthful indiscretions which amuse the
barkers but do not hurt those barked
at. We don't know the editor of the
ReUfez0, but when he gets to be the
equal of Joe Caldwell as a newspaper
man he will be a long way above
"mediocrity," and be ashamed of his
youthful indiscretions.

Convention of Tobacco Growers.

At the request Of County Alliances
throughout the tobacco producing dis
tricts of this State, Col. Elias Carr,
President of the State Alliance, gave
notice to the various County Alliances
to appoint, at their April meeting, one
delegate from each county to cooperate
with delegates from the tobacco coun-
ties of Virginia, similarly appointed, in
a convention to be held in Henderson
next Tuesday, April %, for the pur-
pose Of organization among tobacco
growers and the discussion ofimportant
matters connected with the tobacco
interests. That the meeting will be
largely attended, and that it will be
productive of such measures as will
rebound OF the permanent good of the
tobacco planters of the two States, we
sincerely trust. The GOLD LEAF en-
dorses the sentiments of the Bru nswick
Gazette, when it says this of the coming
convention:
We can but regard this as a most
important and timely step. The man.
ufacturers of certain grades of tobacco
have already organized themselves
into a close corporation, with view to
debating and regulating the price of
the raw material. The effect of this
combination is seen and sorely felt
throughout the entire bright tobacco
belt, and encouraged and emboldened
by the success that has crowned their
efforts at monopoly on a limited
theatre, they are reaching out to grasp
IN their deadly embrace the entire field
OF tobacco production, and will succeed
IN their selfish and unholy purpose I'M
less the producers by timely and con-
certed action thwart them in their we'll
laid schemes. There is no hope for
the producers except in perfect and
compact organization. As we have
said before combination can be sue
cessfully resisted only by counter COM
bination, and we hope much from the
convention of producers to be held in
Henderson on the 2Sth of April. The
time for theorizing and talk has passe d
and that for action, and decided action.

WE OUGHT TO STOP 1T.

Capt. John T. Patrick in recent
address to the business men of Charles
ton, S. c., said this:
You spend more money on cigars
made in Pennsylvania than you do in
printers ink. More on watch charms
made in Providence, R. l., than you
do in charming the people down here.
You subscribe for more papers pub
lished in New York, Boston and Phil
adelpeia than you pay for home
papers to be sent out to induce people
to come to your state. Yet you have
papers that are credit to the state
and the intelligent people therein.
The papers should be sent broadcast
by the thousands, for we judge city
or people by the standard of its
newspapers. l venture to say that
when you are through reading your
daily paper or your weekly paper you
throw it aside instead of marking some
paragraph concerning the progress of
your city or town, and sending it to
some one outside of the state.
