COUNTY MEETINGS SUGGESTED

As a Means of Making the Desires of
the People known to the Legislature.
To the Editor: The Democrats of
North Carolina have made a gallant
fight and won great victory. That
victory will bring about a great revolll-
ton in North Carolina. The victory
was won, not as our forefathers won
in the Revolution of more than cen
fury ago, by force of arms, but by bal
lots. The Magma Charta of American
! liberty is the peoples right to make
laws by which they are to be governed
| Now we have gained the victory. and
| like our Revolutionary fathers who es
| tablished our national government. il
+, remains for us to re-establish an hon
orable government in the State, and sinh
the scandalous government put. upon us
by a set Of office-hungry fusionists-
/, Republicans, populist and negroes
| into its merited oblivion.
| inasmuch as the People have gained
this victory, it beh0oves them 10 con.
suit together and let the Legislators
! know their needs.

/ before the people one question, and

/ ignorant white man in the State that the

| privilege of voting. The Democrats

more than twenty years and during
those years there was no one deprived
of the privilege of voting. We are not
tI,n Of ~ ole
but we dearly love peace and we have
made a desperate struggle to maintain
it.
i suggest that the chairman of each
county executive committee call the
citizens of their respective counties to-
gether and get their wants in condensed
form and submit to the Legislature
While we do not favor DISTINGUISHING
the negro, we want the State governed
| by white people Both whites and

The Word Cruiser.

Illustrations OF the manner 10 which
the religion of the cross has entered
into the daily life and language of the
people to-day are not needed by those
who remem Der multiplicity of churches
and Sunday-schools, the numbers of
the clergy and of Bibles. But it is
certainly singular to trace in one OF
the commonest words in our lauguag e,
a word which for weeks has been every
day in the newspapers, is heard every
day upon the streets, line of histori-
cal connection with the early ages OF
the Christian world.
The word ''cruiser" seems at first to
have not the slightest connection with
church or religious matters. A cruis-
or is now understood TO be an armored
vessel OF high speed, we'll equipped,
which sails to and fro upon the ocean
in time of war looking for the vessels
Of the enemy's heet, or ready to prey
upon the unprotected commerce of the
hostile nation. Such is the only defini-
tion given by the dictionaries of the
word, save that IL is sometimes applied
to the men who sail in the ship, and
not infrequently to cutthrosts aud
murderers of the high seas whose hand
Is against every man.
But the word cruiser recalls q
wealth OF history, for the word is only
q corruption, or rather condensation,
of crusader; and the crusader was so
called not because he crussded, or
cruised, but because he wore upon his
clothing, or armor, a cruX or cross, in
dicating that he was on q march to the
Holy Land.
From the foundation of the church
of the Holy Sepulcher by the Empress
Helena, in the third century, it was
place OF pilgrimage, whittier resort
ed pilgrims from all parts of the world.
Toward the tenth century it became
customary for travellers on their way
to the Holv Sepulcher to carry cross
as n staff, indicating the nature of
their journey. The extensive travel
from Europe to Palestine was a source
of great profit to the Saracens, who re-
cognized the wisdom of encouraging q
sentiment which brought them so much
gain. But when the Turks came into
possession of Palestine, with q savage
lack of foresight they did all they
could to discourage the visits of pill
grims to Jerusalem, and the rough
treatment to which pious Europeans
were subjected resulted in the preach
ing OF the first crusade by Peter the
Hermit, in 1904.
y year later the greatest military
force ever gathered in Europe assem-
bled under Godfrey de Bouillon for the
invasion of the Ssrscenic Empire, and

be the only possible one. The only
wonder IL that 10 was ever supposed
that the vast sum needed could be Sc
cured bv popular subscription. The
officers of the union, it seems. hoped
for large gifts from persons OF means,
in addition to the small savings OF
their own members: and the large gifts
were not forthcoming. The general
understanding, whether we'll founded
or not, was that the raising of about
5000 900 would give the union the
Control of the Temple. 1t now ap-
pears that the sum named would only
have enabled the union to retire that
amount of trust bonds; while there
would remain as liens upon the proper

trust bonds and a floating debt of $685.
600. The whole amount raised thus
far for this purpose Is S142 800; the
union had previously put into the en-
terprise about S2OO.0 Thus il the
union desired to own the building it
would have to raise nearly 1000 900
more: and even then il would control
only \ leasehold, for Mr.. Marshall
Field leased the ground for l99 years
ut a large annual rental.
1.-THE moral of this is" not that wo-
meu are not good business managers,
but that the w. G. L. u. OvereStimat-
ed its financial ability when it under
took to acquire property costing mil
lion aud a half of dollars through the
small gifts of it's self-sacrificing mem
bers. It is not improbable that had
not the hard times come when they
did the union could have by this time
retired part of the bonds and purchas-
ed q majority of the stock, leaving to
the future the task of completing the
purchase. While it Is with regret
that the public learns the true state of
affairs, and the practical impossibility
of the unions accomplishing what it
attempted, it is fortunate that the en-
terprise has been 30 conducted that
none of the money contributed has
has been lost. OF course limited por
ton of it has been spent in sdmini,tra
tive expenses, but the most of it, in
GLIDING what has been raised during
the past few months, except condition
al gifts, will be invested in Temple
t:bonds that will give the union a
certain hold on the building. 1t is
probable that the union will continue
to rent Willard Hall and to occupy
headquarters in the building.-The

A Qualified Prayer.

In the Chicago Times-derald Gen.
Edward E. Bryant of Madison tells a
story that fits in at the present time
very nicely. There WAS q pious man
in the crew of an ironclad. He had
been told one evening that in all pro
liability the next day would witness a
great battle. When he prayed that
night he put special stress upon the
plea that the vessel upon which him
might escape disaster, saying, among
other things: sob, Lord, shield us
from the shells and other projectiles
of the enemy, but if any shells an d
solid shot do come TO our vessel, pray
thee that they may be distributed AZ
prize money is distributed, motsly
among the officers"

from that time until 1270, period sof
nearly two hundred years, there was
scarcely o twelvemonth in which arm
ed bands of Europeans were not march
ing to the east or returning from q
crusade. So common WAS the move
ment that in several languages Of Eu-
rope the word crusade became synony-
nous with the word travel; and when a
man was marching on the highway,
giving evidence of being on long
Journey, IL was taken for granted that
he was going to the holy war.
The expression found favor all over
the world, and in every language its
synonym is to be found, maritime
countries soon applying the word to q
sea voyage. AS thieves and robbers
during the crusades frequently as
sumed the cross, and posed as its spe-
cial defenders in order more easily and
safely to ply their trade of robbery,
crusading in course of time became
disreputable, and the word crusade
shortened into cruise was applied to
the voyages undertaken by the pirates
OF the West Indies, who sailed TO and
fro on the Spanish seas in search OF
prey.
stamped out over one hundred years
ago, but ere IL was extirpated the
word cruiser had become Synonymous
with the pirate ship; but as these were
very swift, aud the word was useful
word, It was applied to fast sailing
vessel of any description. In every
language in Europe the word expresses
the idea of the cross. In German it is
kreuzer; in French, croiseur; all the
other languages have corresponding
equivalents, indicating the idea OF the
cross-besrer, aud showing that the
origin OF all these words Is in the
Latin cruX, or cross. From the Roman

FIRST AUTUMN FASHIONS.
Skirts To lave No Change In Shape
And To Be Even Less Trimmed
Than They Are NoW-BIouses
Still Popular.

Paris Letter in New York Tribune.
The autumn color-card shown by the
French manufacturers presents per-
feet riot of colors, the purple and plum
shades predominsting in both the plain
cloths and fancy woods. The first
instalmept of fall goods is already In
the hands of the French couturieres,
some of whom are even showing what
they term autumn models.
The French are making a strong bid
this season for foreign trade, and this
probably explains why they are get
ting their novelties on the market so
early. One never has much conf
dence in the modes displayed in July,
or indeed, before the first of Septem-
Der: they may ne autumn models
without being autumn fashions. for
there has been M tuv n carefully desig-
ned model rOnI-, Lned tn waste It's
glory in the atelier of the dressmsker.
II is not easy to prophecy what the
fashionable world will choose to wear
q season az cad. However, the opinions
of several leading dressmakers as to
what will be fashionable and des-
cription of some of the gowns they
have ready to show customers are OF
interest and possess q certain amount OF
value.
First the colors will be extremely
CAV and will lean more toward purple
and plum than to red or blue; the pre-
dominance of these shades will lead to
some rather novel combinations-pur-
pie and salmon pink for instance. There
will be little or no change in the cut
of the skirt; in the models ready to be
seen now the skirts agree to dot, and
the dressmakers seem to have given up
the half-hearted attempt to make dra-
perry popular. This model skirt fits
absolutely glovelike about the hips,
and, in fact, defines the figure in a
manner that would have seemed as
touishing a year ago. The volants en-
forme have about run their course;
they may appear in the autumn, but
the dressmakers are not showing them,
and advise fiat trimmings that do not
destroy the contour of the figure. The
trimmed skirt will not be SO necessary
as it has been during the spring, but
trimmings will be fashionable. En-
broideries and novel braidings will be
much used, and perforated cloths in q
new form appear among the new
goods.
