WHO PAYS THE PIPER?
Greensboro Telegram.

GREENSBORO Telegram.
Major j. c. Courtney. of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, announces
that on and after the first Of July no
messages will be received ut the office
for transmission unless they bear one
cent internal revenue stamp.-Atlanta
journal.
Continuing, with Snug complacency.
the courtly Courtney thus demonstrates:
why last months sent list from this
office was over three hundred thousand
messages, and so you see that if the
company undertook to pay the postage
on all those messages we would soon
lie bankrupt"
What applies to Atlanta applies to
every other office of the Western Union
Telegraph Company. We confess that
we should like TO see this matter tested
in the courts The law does not make
it clear upon whom the tax is intended
to be imposed 1t will remain. there
fore. for the courts tOqdecide whether
Il telegraph company can refuse to send
message until it has been stamped.
There is no institution better able to
bear the tax than the Western Union
Telegraph Company, and it might be
dividuals who are forced to use the COM
pany's lines largely to make n test case,
and so decide whether man who does
not happen to have II one cent internal
revenue stamp on his person can send an
important message before providing him
self with that requisite. Mr.. Courtney
states that the agents of the company
will not be permitted to keep the stamps,
and Il great deal of annoyance and ac-
tual loss may therefore result, since
it may be impossible to get the stamp
when il is possible to send the message.
The ordinary citizen has been pretty well
provided for in the way Of taxes in the
other sections of the bill, and if there
be any way to make the telegraph COM
panies contribute their just share to
the support Of the war it should be
found The Western Union Telegraph
Company is about the biggest all round
cuss that has to be dealt with; it grinds
its employees on the one hand and
gouges its patrons on the other to pay
suitable dividends on stock largely wat
cred. BY all means give it the patriotic
pleasure of paying the tax.

CHANCES FOR YOUNG MEN.

The Charlotte Observer is advocating
system of apprenticeship for the mills
in that section. One cotton mill has
made term of apprenticeship of tive
years. The compensation is fifty cents
n day for six months, Scventy-tivc cents
a day for the next six months, and 81 q
day for the second year. The apprentice
agrees to work wherever he is placed
and to stay for the two years, and the
mini agrees to give him an opportunity
to work in each department. The OBJ
server says:
1T is thought that out Of the young
men taking such an apprentice course
there will be a larger percentage of sue
cessful manufacturers. The Southern
Cotton SpinnerS' Association might do n
good work for the mills and young men
by formulating Il contract for term Of
apprenticeship in cotton mills for intelli
gent and energetic young men to enter
into after leaving school The parents
of the young men and the young men
themselves might safely assume that
such a contract would cover respecta-
BILE training and the worry and trouble
of finding an entrance into business
would be greatly diminished and the
MS would be greatly benefited by hay
ing a number Of trained young men from
whom to select boss wOrkmen, fOremen
and superintendent"

RUNNING ON THE GOLD PLATFORM.

We have read with care the proceed
ings of the so-caled Populist Congress
sional Convention that nominated Dock
cry to see the character of the platform
adopted. In none of them is there men
ton of the adoption Of any platform at all
This throws food of light upon the
convention. The Dockerys, who were
in control, are perfectly willing for the
old man to ride two horses going in op
poste directions and to say what he
pleases on the stump. but they determin
ed that he should not be bound down by
any resolutions that kept him from going
the whole Republican hog by his votes
in Congress.
As no resolutions were adopted by the
populist convention, Colonel Dockery is
running on the platform adoped by the
Republican Convention. containing full
endorsement of the Mckinley admins
tration. and when elected will plead that
the Populists voted for him, knowing
that he stood upon that and no other
platform.

AN EXCELLANT NOMINATION.

The Democrats of the Third District
made no mistake in nominating Hon.
Charles II. Thomas, of Craven county,
as their standard bearer for Congress.
Mr.. Thomas is a scholar, Il gentleman
of high character. a Democrat of the
best type. and has enjoyed Legislative
experience. He represented Carteret
county in the Legislature some years
ago and took high stand i'll that body.
In 1896 he was the Bryan elector III
the Third district and made campaign
of such n character as won for him
the support of the party for Congress.
His record is as clean and rs good
upon the paramount issue as William
Jennings Bryan's of whom he is Il dis
ciple. and he will make votes for the
cause. rs he eloquently and strongly
presents the principles and record of
his party to the voters of the district.
The Democrats in the Third and
Ninth district have shown wisdom in
selecting candidates whose records are
unassailable, and who have the ability
to hold up against all corners the ban
ner of their party. Let the other dis
trict initiate these two districts.

Now, the question is. who is right.
Henry Doclery or DR.. Maynard? We
all know that Dockefy can be anything

DISGUSTING AND REPULSlVE ONLY TO
THE BAD.

The Winston Republican does not ap-
prove the News and Observer. This is
learned from column editorial in its
last issue. 1t is painful not to bask in
the smiles of the defender Of the scan
dalous State and trust-ridden national
administration, but we hope to survive
its displeasure.
The Republican also denounces 1.-THE
disposition to probe into every nook and
corner for something of dark appear
ance" and says such n disposition is
disgusting and repulsive." Men. who
hold public office and are conscious of
right doing invite and welcome the clos
est scrutiny into their public acts. They
desire the investigation pursued Into
every nook and corner. conscious that
it will indicate their official integrity.
1t is only those officials whose deeds
make them love darkness rather than
light who regret the probing as dis
gushing and repulsive."
