to be ignored; the owner of debts is

from sc, 863, IT'S acres; in 1896, they har-
vested crops off 149. 349, 900 acres. In
1875, the value of the cereal crops to
our farmers was the equivalent of 81

or more years for comparison. let us
take the last two years. The American
says:
''Quite half the income Of our ayr

NO LEADERSHIP.

~Somebondy up about Charlotte, as
Messenger as one of the four papers
hat sought to be the leader Of the DEM
ocratic party in North Carolina. That
is news in this office. and is another
example Of going from home to get
home news" The Messenger is a DEM
ocrat. 1t is too faithful to democratic
fundamentals and to the principles en-
bodied in democratic law to either fol-
low politicians or to seek to lead them
and the people. 1t che,ishes no as
pirations and coddles no plans for
leadership. It is absolutely too honest
and Independent to either play the
SycOphant or the slave Of party. It
stand for principles and the right as
far as it understands them. It does not
put it's faith in princes or politicians,
in Office-holders or ofice-seekers. It is
tied to apron-strings Of no faction or
etiquette no aspiring demagogue or self
seeker. 1t is on the side of the people.
The Messenger has always been so
plain spoken all along and has so often
criticized politicians Of its own party
senator's, governors, legislators and so
on that it has been something of a
thorn in the sides Of some Of the un-
worthy, the u~nfaithful. It has not in
dulged in f1attery Of officials and has
never bent the pregnant hinges Of the
knee that thrift might follow %fawning."
The Messenger advocates good morals,

Omy, equal and honest
better laws, more protection to proper

is no seeker Of power. There is not a
man connected with the office who
ever held office or sought office. AS to
leadership count it out. 1t will strive
to serve the people faithfully and we'll.
1t will continue a true democratic SEN
tinel on the watch-towers as it has
been, opposing all trading with dema-

tonight given the superintendent Of
the Central hospital here that the new
board OF directors would, in all proba-
bility, agree tomorrow to allow a test
case to be made up and go before the
supreme court. This will settle the
status OF all the asylums. Superin-

sist on this course. The court will prob
ably act speedily on the matter.

Claude Dockery chairman and Senator
Clark, OF Halifax, vice chairman. There

not to be changed before September

LOW PRICES AND HIGH TAXES

There are politicians and plutocrats
who insist that a fall in prices of pro-
ducts in this country is a genuine
blessing. They are as wise and patriotic
as that other class who think that a
rise in taxes is also a national bless
ing. We believe the whole set are
either fools or knaves in finance and
political economy. One northern fraud
who is rich is candle if otherwise to
zoe censured. The Philadelphia Ameri-
