CASTOR CLAIMS THE BANNER.

= The Gastonia Gazette this week pub
fishes a table showing interesting and
instructive facts with reference to the
cotton mills in that county. There are
twenty-one mills, with capital invested
of S1S92,5OO. These mills contain 1O5,
426 spindles, 2.415 looms, $3.50 twist
ing spindles, consume annually 44,2oO
bales of cotton, employ 1915 hands, and
the annual pay roll amounts to $579. 100.
These figures tell why CASTOR is one OF
the most prosperous counties in the State,
Nearly all these factories are new, the
first one having been erected in 1874 at
Belmont; the second in 1876 at Mt. Holly
Fourteen of these factories, or two thirds
OF the whole number are practically new,
having been erected since 1891. Writ
ing of the statistics printed, the Gazette
says:
beyond peradvanture CASTOR is the
banner county Of the State In the
number of spindles operated. Ala
nance, hitherto popularity accorded
the banner, has about twice as many
looms as Castor, but the latter has
the advantage of Alamance by about
1900 in the number Of spindles."
It would give much instructive inform
alton il the papers in every county in the
State would follow the example OF the
Gazette and print like figures.

AN ENCOURAGING EXPERIENCES

The experience Of the Eastern Caro-
lima Truck and Fruit Growers Associa-
ton will serve as encouragement to the
newly organized Shippers Association
composed Of manufacturers and business
men, which was formed at Greensboro
last week. The figures given at Green's
boro showed that North Carolina is dis
eliminated against in freight rates in a
way that is most injurious to our business
and manufacturing prosperity. Individ-
ually the shippers have not been able to
secure fair rates. The organized effort
will doubtless be able to secure what the
individuals have been unable to secure.
1t is shame, with an expensive Inter
State Commerce and Railroad Commits
sion it is necessary for shippers To take
time and exert effort TO extort just and
equitable freight rates.
The Truckers and Planters Journal,
reviewing the close of the strawberry
season and the benefits accruing to the
Shippers from the CAPITALIZATION VI tue
Eastern Carolina Truck and Fruit Grow
er's Association. says:
1T is simple problem in mathe-
MATES to figure the amount saved i'll
freight and express charges. Our sta
tistics to date indicate that the total
shipments have been not less than
10000 crates, and we think the
average saving in freight has been
not less than % cents per crate; the
fact is it has been much more than
that But figured at the lowest est
mate it represents an aggregate saw
ing of $4,000. Our belief is that
the tabulated figures being prepared
by Shipping Master, HI. T. Bauman,
will show that it will amount to $780,
GEO."
If the tobacco and other manufacture
can effect u saving Of one tenth so much
in proportion to the quantity Of freight
shipped they will be enabled to increase
their operations, give employment to
more willing hands, and defy compeu-
ton.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

The wild cry raised last year because
the Democratic National convention ue-
c,ared in favor Of the shortest way TO
secure an income tax had some injurious
effect upon the Democratic ticket. Inc
fairness and justice of an income tax IS
generally admitted, and If its enactment
could come before the people as an lnoe-
pendent proposition, the tax would De
ordered by an overwhelming vote. MI.
Cochran has introduced in the House an
"a amendment to the constitution, submit
ting to the legislatures of the States the
following constitutional amendment:
"An income tax shall not be con-
strued as a direct tax within the
nearing Of Section 2 and Section
of Article l of the constitution, put
the Congress shall have power to lay
and collect a tax on incomes derived
from any source whatever, without
regard to apportionment or enumera-
ton"
q 1t will require a two thirds vote I'D
both the house and senate before this
amendment can be submitted to the leg
islatures, and it would then require the
affirmative vote of three fourths OF the
States before it would be operative. But
though it is a slow process, it is the only
method of securing this just tax. 1t is
doubtful, however, if a body controlled

emerge from its pigeon hole.

Washington, May 21.-(SpeciaD-The
only thing that stands between Cuba and
the granting of beligerent rights to the
patriots of that Island is the Speaker of
the House of Representatives, Thomas
Brackett Reed, who halls from the State
of Maine The Senate having passed the
Morgan Cuban resolution by vote of
three to one, should in itself be sufficient
to warrant the Speaker in putting the
question before the House so that the
members of that body might have an OPP
portunity to express their sentiments and
convictions by vote on the Senate res
olution. Speaker Reed is no doubt well
aware that two thirds of the members
in the House are in favor of the Morgan
resolution, but because he does not favor
the granting of belligerent rights to Cuba
and because he entertains the same pro-
Spanish views as his colleague Senator
Hale, who more than once has laid him.
self liable to the charge of being the
attorney of Minister DE LONE, he uses
his power as Speaker to suppress the
will of the majority. Whether the Speak
er's course in this matter meets the APP
prevail of the administration is another
question. Those who know Reed say he
has no love for President Mckinley and
his course on the Cuban question is die

opinion is, however, that after the COM

AN APT "ONCE UPON A TIME"
Baskerville Citizen.)

Once upon a time a Mother with a
large number of Children learned that
some of them had been badly treated
in the distant land to which they had
emigrated. Their property was burned,
their homes destroyed, and they them
selves beaten and scourged, contrary to
an International treaty.
And the Mother appropriated 80
cents and bought some scraps of food
she had an old basket-and went among
her suffering children, and offered them
the food. But though they took some of
it. the majority of them cried for Justice.
But the Mother said she hadn't brought
that i'll her old basket, and she returned
home, having been of very little service
to the Children. -f ann
