THE CONE PROPOSITION,

Ours and the Charlotte Obseyvey's
understanding of the Cone proposition
at Greensboro and the subsequent
action of the Press Convention at
Morehead differs to some extent. The
Obseyver seems to think that Cones
proposition was made to the Press
Convention and that the Convention
refused it. 1t appeared different to us.
At the banqnet given in honor of the
Convention at Greensboro, Moses
Cone, of the Cone Export and Com
mission Co., proposed to give $500
toward defraying the expenses of the
editors Of the Raleigh Observey and
Charlotte O6server to visit Mexico
and investigate the silver question.
The editor of the Charlotte O6s<yue,
rose and accepted the proposition for
himself and the editor Of the Raleig h
Obseruer. The Press Convention was
not in session, but was the honored
guests of the people of Greensboro at
banquet. When the matter was
brought up at Morehead, it was de-
cided that it was a matter not properly
before the Convention, but simply a
matter between Mr.. Cone and the
editors mentioned. The Convention
did not refuse Mr.. Cones proposition
for he had no proposition before it.
1t is entirely a matter between Mr..
Cone and the editors who accepted
his proposition, and We think We voice
the sentiment Of the entire Press Asso-
citation in saying we hope they will
hold him to his proposition, 60 to
Mexico and bring back all the infor-
nation they can on this interesting
subject WIlkesboro Chronicle.

JOE PATCHEN BEATS ROBERT J.
The Black WhirIwlnd r1ade the Last
Heat in 2:o5 I-4-The Fastest
Fourth Heat on Record.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 1-Robert j.
the king of the turf, is king no longer.
The honor was wrested from him by that
game black stallion, Joe Patchen, in the
most exciting speed contest ever seen on
a grand circuit track. 1t has beer known
since last season that Joe PatcheR was
great race horse, but even his warmest
admirers did not believe that he was
speedy enough to defeat the phen omenal
Robert j. In the auction pools, Robert
j sold .for:.$25 and the field 50. In the
books the Hamin world-beater was
barred. He was supposed to have
cinch on the race and most Of the bet
ting was.o Joe Patchen for place.
After the first heat 81 on the field would
have brought $50 on Robert j.
The second heat was the beginning OF
the surprise that was to follow. The
fayOrite and his rival came into the
stretch neck and neck after having paced
the half mile in | minute. Jack Curry,
who was, driving Patchen, seemed to
push the black whrlwind under the wire
and he won by the shortest kind of anose
in 2:O44 The last two heats were n
trife easier for the black stallion,
although he won by less than a length
each time. 1t was the fastest four heat
race ever paced and the last heat Ill
2:O51 was the fastet fourth heat ever
paced.

EDITORS, SKEPTICAL AND OTHER
WISE.

Editor Bethune is skeptical, and
thinks Editor Marshall must have been
talking through his hat at Greensboro,
when he predicted that the people in
North Carolina would see windmills
all over the State generating electricity
for farming operations and that all
night electric plows would turn fur
rows under the glare of electric
lights.
Editor Whichard is full of faith,
and says within hundred years Edi-
tor Bethune "will see more startling
things than plows running at night by
electricity."- NezOs and Observer.

THIS CONCERNS YOU.

Good roads is a good slogan for any
State. Happy the people who have
good roads. The necessity of having
in all States the best of county roads
is paramount. 1t will not down or die
as long as there is one mile of bad
road in any Commonwealth. England
once had the worst of roads, and not
SO very long ago. But it is not SO
now. In every direction, penetrating
every nook and corner of the United
Kingdom, the bes. macadam roads
are found, and along the most Of them
are shade trees.
The people should become fully
awake to this matter in which their
own real interests are much involved.
If they could but once have the benefit
of the best improved roads they would
be willing to bear almost any tax to
keep them and for no reasonable sum
would return to old mud pixies where
teams stall, and it takes four or six
horses 70 pull as much as one strong
horse can on the best macadamized
road.
Mecklenburg county offers to all
North Carolina an excellent example
of road building, the cost, the benefits,
the pleasures.
The people should agitate good roads
and compel their legislators to provide
law that will bring about the delight
full and important contamination and
speedily.
There is too much delay. The best
advocates Of good roads are the good
roads themselves.
The time was within our own recol-
lection when railroads were regarded
with dislike, and the people opposed
taxation or cnything else looking to
their construction. But North Caro-
lima now has thousands of miles of
these roads, and they are great con-
venience and comfort to all. Look at
the thousands of excursionists now en-
joying hugely the cheap rides over
these roads.
If legislators will only get some
"sand in their craw" and resolve to
do right in road building for counties
they will show themselves patriotic and
intelligent. A wise, effective road
law must be passed. North Carolina
is losing every day many dollars
because of its poor roads and indffer-
ence to the claims of better roads-the
best roads in fact.
There is movement in Virginia
looking to improved county roads. A
State Convention was held at Rich
mond, and since then the counties
have been moving in the matter also.
North Carolina cannot afford to de-
lay. A good road need not cost really
more than 81 500 mile, if there is
no "job' in it. Some county building
macadam road reported a cost O.
81 600 mile, we think it was.-Wil
mington Messenger.

If Judge Ewart is correct in his con-
struction of the law of contempt
then:
1. Why did not that able and up
right lawyer VINO tried the Shemwell
case send to Jail few Of the editors
who criticized his refusal to move that
case?
?. Why has not the majority Of our
Supreme Court sent score of editors
to Jail who criticized their decision in
Carr VS.. Coke3
;, Why can not the editor the Cau-
tastan be sent to Jail for criticizing the
decision of the United States Supreme
Court in the income tax cases?
4. If all the editors who have crit
icized some decision of some court
within the last two years were sent to
Jail, how many of that fraternity would
now be out enjoying the sweet pure
air of liberty, running their papers?
5. Subdivision 7 Of Section 648 OF
the Code provides that a person may
be punished for contempt for "the
publication Of grossly inaccurate re-
ports of the proceedings in any court,
about any trial, or other matter pend

COL. CARR AT WINDSOR.

We have read with much interest
the accounts of the reunion Of Confed-
crate veterans at Windsor, BERTHE
county, last Thursday. Col. Julian S.
Carr, Of Durham, was orator OF the
day and his address was splendid
one in conception and manner Of
treatment. A correspondent Of the
Meas and Observer says:
Confederate veterans day was filled
with touching incidents which greatly
pleased the 1000 people present. Col
Julian S. Cars presence gave our
citizens a welcomed opportunity to
show him distinguished and marked
attention. An elaborate reception
was rendered him by Mr.. and Mrs.
Francis D. Winston. Hundreds Of
our people called on him.
On every hand is heard high praise
of Col. Cars address.
He made many friends here who
will delight to honor him.
In introducing Col. Carr, Mr..
Francis d. Winston was most happy
in this expression: He said that he
could embrace all that was necessary to
be said in stating that Col. Carr was
man whom millions have not made a
miser and from whose heart the touch
of gold has not driven the touch Of
humanity.
The Wilmington Re0iev speaking
of Col. Cars address, portion Of
it, about two columns, having been
printed in the Meas and Obseyver-
says:
We have never read anything with
more Of interest and pleasure. Never
since the close Of the war have we seen
nobler, manlier and more truthful ut
terances in print. Colonel Carr likens
Gettysburg to Waterloo, with the odds
largely in favor Of the former. The
forces handled by Napoleon and Lee
were nearly the same, the losses closely
Appropriated each other, many of the
incidents Of the struggle bore won
derful similarity and the causes OF de-
feat were largely alike. But here, as
Colonel Carr says, the similarity cases
Napoleon was utterly cast down and
discouraged and sought death on the
field; his army was dispersed and be-
came Struggling, panic stricken body
of men, while Lee held his men firmly
in hand and made an orderly retreat
towards Hagerstown. $50 against the
Lilies of France we place the Stars and
Bars and against the genius Of Napo-
leon that of Robert f. Lee"
In his closing remarks Colonel Carr
is grand. He hurls back the malicious
and cowardly cry ofrebel and traitor
against those who made them as Gin
famously false" and his tribute to the
leaders and generals Of the South is a
magnificent piece of word painting.
As one of those who can forgive but
can never forget we thank Colonel
Carr most heartily for his magnificent
defence and justification OF the South.

SOME MEDICAL ADVICE.

DR.. Elmer Lee of Chicago read a
paper before the American Medical
Association at Baltimore which is max
ing some stir. 1t was on the preyen-
ton of cholera. He vigorously attacked
all the recent methods of incubation.
He pointed out that whereas all re-
cent systems of immunity look to the
introduction of some foreign substance
into the circulation they differ as to
whether this Shall be an attenuated
culture of the bacillus, or sterilized
toxins of the disease to be prevented,
or some mineral substance. He de-
clares that both have signally failed
and quotes figures TO show that DR..
Haffkine's NEGOTIATIONS in India show a
worse record than that of cases where
nothing was done. His general con-
clusion as to attenuated cultures and
steriIized toxins is that they have ut
terly failed to demonstrate any utility.
Indeed, he thinks that men treated I'M
der this system become more liable to
the disease.
But Dr.. Lee knows of a sure pre-
ventive of cholera. 1t is good health,
and though it is an old truth that if
you are well you viii not be i'll, what
