The Protectionist Performance.

The following is a part of Exon
gresham John De Witt Warmers criti-
cism of the Dingley bill
Gas it stands the most brilliant part
of the pending performance consists in
eating the words Of the same actors i'll
the Fifty-f first congress. The Mckinley
bill of that date was virtually entitled
"a bill to reduce revenues The Dingley
bill is specially commended as a revenue
getter. The Mckinley bill pointed with
pride to the poor mans free breakfast
table. The Dingley bill puts upon sugar
"a single item of the breakfast table
one-third of the total amount of the
tariff tax proposed. The items which
are supposed to help the farmer are good
examples of SO setting your trap as to
'cotch 'em a-cumin and a-gwine' For
instance, we have reciprocity in order
to give the farmers market abroad for
what it is assumed they cannot produce
for home consumption unless they are
highly protected, as is done by another
section of the bill. "

GRAND OLD NORTH CAROLINA.

North Carolina IS grand State. It's
physical beauty will compare favor
ably with any State in the Union. If
her towering mountains are not per-
petually covered with snow, they are
clothed in gorgeous drapery which
pleases the eye and fascinates the
soul. Her rivers are deep and navi-
gable, and abound in every species of
fish from the mountain trout to the
low land pike. The hills and noun
tain sides of North Carolina are full of
iron, coal, gold and other metals so
essential to the prosperity and happi-
ness Of mankind. The soil of North
Carolina is adapted to the cultivation
of all kinds Of grains and vegetables,
and cotton and tobacco can be raised
here with the greatest degree of sue
cess. The grand old State lies in the
very heart of the great temperate zone,
and therefore we have one of the finest
climates on the face Of the globe. Our
atmosphere is pure, sweet, soft and
balmy, and the wandering Italian,
with harp and violin, can almost
imagine that the gentle z-phrys of
Italy are blowing upon him as he
wends his way over the bills and dales
of fair Carolina and discourses native
songs and melodies to the people who
never forget to throw their cents and
niCkels into the hands of the way-far-
ing man who may be as grum as the
grizzly bear he leads around, and is
as filthy as the monkey who smokes
the pipe and collects the fare. North
Carolina is just developing into great
manufacturing state, and when the
present financial crisis passes away as
a thick cloud, modern looms and more
ponderous machinery will tell the
whole civilized world that the old
North State is keeping pace with the
advancing civilization and progress Of
the world. Fair Bluff Times.

HERES ANOTHER CHANCE.

\ tobacco company in ST. Louis,
Mo, is offering a series of cash prizes
for the best written editorial on the
culture of tobacco in that State. This
is an ingenious scheme to secure free
advertising for the firm and its partic-
ular brand Of Tobacco. 1t remains TO
he seen how many "soft marks there
are in the newspaper business willing
to enter this "Grand Agricultural Cash
Prize Fdltoritorial Contest. - Press
and Printer.
There is no special objection to en-
tering a contest of this kind if one has
any assurance that he will be rewarded
in the event Of being winner. 1T
publisher did not have confidence IN
his ability to write good artIc!: he
should not undertake it. On the other
hand, If he believed he could bear off
the prize, and it was worth trying tor,
he nigh, afford 10 make himself "soft
mark" and do a little free advertising
on the basis Of pay If winner-a loser
if not.
While on this subject we're remind
ed of a similar case: A couple Of
years ago the management Of the State
Fair offered prizes for the best written
editorial about the fair and the best
worded and best displayed ADVERTISE
ment of same. There were severa!
contestants, but if any body was a
winner the fact has escaped our notice,
although it,would seem that the com
mlttee has had ample time to get to-
ge,her and render its decision.
We cannot believe this was scheme
to get something for nothing, and yet
the facts appear to be against US.

STRONG on TOBACCO.

North Carolina is said to rank sec
ond in the Union in the production Of
tobacco, Kentucky having first place.
The statistics, compiled from reliable
sources are:
North Carolina las, year had 1874,
SIC acres in tobacco; Kentucky had
196,745 acres. North Carolina made,
in 1896, 6S,o24,47o pounds; Ken
lucky, 1862 $3.50 p funds. Value Of
N,rth Carolina crop, S5,59o,554; OF
the Kentucky crop, s6,o5o,2os. Av-
efage price in North Carolina, s cents
PER pound; in Kentucky, AZ cents

Therefore it will be seen that while
Kentucky outranks North Carolina in
the amount of Tobacco, produced

4 FATAL POLICY.

The following editorial article from
the Winston Daily journal carries It's
own comment:
The mos, fatal policy ever pursued
by community is one OF selilshness.
Any man who succeeds in any place
in most cases draws his success from
that place. II he succeeds the argu-
ment is almost conclusive that he owes
much To tn: community, and yet now
easy it is fDr him IL delude himself
into the belief that his success is pc
cullarly his own and could have been
made anywhere. Bat waving that
theory Of the Case, and for the sake OF
argument assuming tia, such Is true,
and placing the matter upon purely
selfish btsIs, he owes great deal to
his town For lnsian:e, man IN any
business amasses $50, 900 in town OF
10000 people. He spends $40, 900
OF tina, in securing new industries that
increase the population, add to the
wealth. bI ti1c pidCC, dl'i tiiSiSoJ aug
ment the demand for what he manu-
features or has for sale. Are not the
chances better to make money in this
enlarged sphere th,n they were IN the
narrow sphere?
Now, to apply this 10 ourselves.
There is not sufficient diversity In our
industries We need small enterprises
that will employ labor, and the right
kind OF labor, and by this we mean a
class of workmen who will consume
wholesome food, and wear substan
tial clothes There are openings

Of small manufacturing concerns that
could be made to pay from the start.
Our city sister of Charlotte owes her
success and prosperity 10 the TACT that
her citizens nave grasped these very
opportunities that We are neglecting,
and every man in the place works as
d unit for the upbuilding of the town.

TENNESSEE has enacted very
stringent law against the sale OF cigar
cites, which has just gone into effect.
The law is very explicit. 1t provides
that no cigarette. shall hereafter he
sold or otherwise disposed of IN The

bringing Of cigarettes into the state. 1t
expressly forbids the sale of any imi-
tation thereof, and also prohibits the
sale of cigarette papers. In this con-
neCtion it is interesting TO note that
the Supreme Court of West Virginia
renders a decision to the effect that
law Of this kind is against the spirit
of the Constitution and in violation 0 {

holding that all cigarettes and like
