GRASP THE LEVER.

We trust that good results will
flow from the annual meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce, held Monday
night, the details of which are set
forth in our news columns today.
We wish that every member had
been present, especially that he
might have heard the remarks sub
mitted by Col. T. I'll. Fries, the re
firing President, and Mr.. J. L. Pat
terson, the incoming President. We
were very much impressed by the
frankness and practically of these
speeches, which furnished food for
reflection and which should bear
fruit in bringing the members to a
realization of the necessity for united
our towns.
These gentleman brought promi
| Dently forward the desjrability of
better railroad facilities and two
plans were discussed, one being the
extension by the Southern Railway
Co. of the Nc cksville branch to
Third Creek, filing in gap of about
Fl teen miles, by which we would
secure direct commercial intercourse
| with the Western part of this State.
The other plan was the extension of
the Roanoke & Southern road from
Winston to Columbia, South Caro-
lima, and thus place us on a through
line between the North and South.
These are matters worthy the
earnest attention of our people and
| no opportunity should be lost to
advance one or both of these plans
for additional transportation facili
ties for Winston Salem.
Another point of very great i'm
portance was touched-upon by Mr..
Patterson, in his inaugural That
was the necessity for increased
manufacturing industries, by which
employment would be given to labor.
This was along the line of TIE SEN
TINEL's argument that if we want
increased population we must pro-
vide work for increased population
and that when such provision is
made there will be no trouble about
getting people to come. On the
other hand, it would he inexcusable
folly to induce more laborers to
come than can earn living after
they get here.
The fact brought out by Mr.. W. A.
Blair, Secretary, in his annual report,
that many inquiries have been re-
ceived from residents OF the West and
Northwest, looking to winter homes
in this section, points to the necessity
for using available means for bring
ing our fine climate, as well as our
established and prospective re-
sources, TO the attention of the
world and particularly to those who
desire to escape rigorous climates.
The question of climate will prove
big feather in our cap, if used Tor
what it is worth. Nearly every one
who visits us from less favored sec
tions is impressed in this particular.

climate has become famous through

The nessoo of Blacks Election,


Atlanta Constitution.
What Is the lesson of the Demo-
cratic victory in the tenth district
1t is SO plain, we think, that ne who
runs may read. No intelligent Dem
ocrat can mistake it, and the Demo
cratic party in the State cannot
afford to shut it's eyes to the facts
that stood out so prominently in the
campaign.
The Democrats won in the tenth
because they placed themselves ON a
platform that embodied the true
principles of the Democratic party.
The most vital principle of that
platform was the declaration in
favor of the free and independent
coinage of silver at the ratio of 6
to /. There was no lodging or
hedging, no straddling or evading.
The declaration had all the pith oil
brevity. 1t was clear cut, direct and
positive. There was no possibility
of misunderstanding it. In addition
to this, Mr.. Black, the Democratic
candidate, wrote a letter in which
he made the same declaration,
SO that platform and candidate
were in perfect accord. There
was no necessity OF explaining the
declaration of the one or the posi-
ton of the other-both were as
plain as day.
The result was that in a district
where the claim was made that
Mr.. Black had been reelected
through frauds at the ballot box,
and where the odds seemed to be
against the party, the Democratic
candidate has won by q majority
that will reach nearly two thousand.

NoRrHERN PRAISE.

The South is attracting attention
as never before as desirable home
for those who wish to change their
residence from less favored sections.
In a recent issue of the Baltimore
Southern States, Mr.. A. M. Clark, an
ex-United States army officer, who
now resides at Southern Pines, in
this State, speaks words of high
praise for North Carolina. Wemake
the following extracts from Mr.
Clark's letter:
ST have lived here in the midst OF
North Carolina people for the last
nine years, and | have found them
generous and honest in every par
ticular, while their hospitality is
unexcelled. They seem to feel that
they cannot be too kind or too
thoughtful to the stranger who is
within their gates in truth, the
newcomer does not long feel a
stranger"
"In regard to my opinion Of the
present and future of our country,
am free to say that this part of
North Carolina has made rapid
strides in the way of Improvement
since came here, and it has inn
proved much more in the last two
wears than it did in the first seven Of
nv stay. Ifeel confident that North
Caralina and Che South generally
nue d glorious future be.oE6 them.

THE WHY OF II.

Public officers should not permit
themselves to be governed by per
sonal spite in the management OF
affairs entrusted to them by the
people. 1t seems that this policy
was the cause of the Fusion legisla-
ture refusing to make an appropria-
ton for a North Carolina exhibit at
the Atlanta Exposition. This fact
leaked out through an interview
with G. z. French by q representa-
tive of the Raleigh News and OBJ
server That paper says:
Reference being made to the
Atlanta Exposition, Mr. French
said that probably the appropria-
tioE for North Cardinals representa-
ton would have been carried through
had it not been for one incident. An
Atlanta paper accidently fell INTO the
bands of the Fusionists. 1t con-
tanned resolutions of indigna ton by
the North Carolinians living III
Georgia against the Douglass reso-
lutions. Mr.. French said this action
in Georgia put those who happened
to see the paper (Which was handed
around) in high dudgeon, and thus
the bill missed fire."
Not content with bringing disgrace
upon the old State by honoring the
miscegenist, these grand moeuls OF
fusion for spoils must place North
Carolina to material disadvantage
because of criticism of their disgrace
fol conduct by offended and indig-
nant citizens OF the State. As a
consequence of such spitetul pro
ceedings, North Carolina, so rich in
resources and so magnificent il
Industrial progress, must take g
back seat in a display where the out
side world will naturally expect tC
see the grandest and most complete
exhibition of at least every Southern
State. This is a crime that should
be neither forgotten or forgiven an(
every true North CarolInian SHOULD
spurn the idea OF again placing TIL
reins of 6 overnment in the hands O
such incOmDetents.
