RUSSFLL'S LITTLE JOKE

The Messenger comedies more ability
than it accorded him at first. We
thought he was an adventurer in poli-
tics without much real ability, but ac-
complShed in the ways of the dema-
Butler. He is a much more respect
able man and of capacity. We are re-
minded of his real merits by RusseIl's
little ioke-the message he sent PreSi-
senger's Raleigh letter of Sunday. The
Tsar thinks unless PritcAhard is elm
mated completely from the republican
~party-that is turned down, given a
back seat, stuck away on a high shelf,
without a ladder, and put in a hole
then the old party of five loaves and
two fishe is lone for i'm North Caro-
ina. We wish such failure to 'telim-
mate" would work such a glorious end.
But the republicans who say that
Pritchard has far greater influence
thar Russe1I-greater in a minute than
Russell in a year., are doubtless telling
the truth. The blight of the governor
is complete, more deadly than night
shade, more pestifirous than swamp
miasma. He has no influence outside
Of a gang of t~eat-suckers and office
seekers, and a few henchmen, ignorant
n stupid, scattered here and there.
He a a great opportunity to make
a name ,as governor, for wisdom, fair
ness, b~roadness, patriotic devotion,
goodness and greatness, but he lacked
the Qualifications, and he has been lit
orally weighed in the balances and
found wanting in every particulars
most tremendous failure.
The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1898-02-04

Probably in cold blooded vindictive-
ness and deep-seated savagery there
has been nothing to equal in North
Carolina experience the gubernatorial
bully in his attacks upon Colonel A.
3. Andrews. There are a pertenacity
and m%alignity in the Tsar's persecution
that are a full rival of the Comanche
pursuing the trail of some white man
who injured a hair of his head
or robbed him of any natural right or
privilege of the Red Man. Russell is
verify and strictly sui genertis. He
totes around enough venom to supply
a camp of Sioux. When he goes to
his place beyond the threne sphere
of mischief the stock will be broken
and no sample like unto him will re-
main, happily for North Carolina.

REAL CAUSE or JEW ENGLAND
MILL. DEPRESSION

You can hardly open a leading paper
now that has not something to say
about the south and New England. It
is the south's rivaly or New England's
depression in cotton milling Or some
other phase of the a~gitating question.
The strange thing about the shutting
down lately of New England mills is
that many of them made large profits
in 1897, a fact of which we had not
been informed. The Washington Post,
ordinarily we'll informed n edited by
northern men, in last Thursdays issue.
said that 'of the notable features of
this trouble is that only a few of the
closed factories la failed Ito pay
dividends in each of the last six or
eight years. One of the New Bedford
mills, which led off in the reduction of
wages. paid 16 per cent. in dividends
in 1897. Not more than three or four
of the factories which united in this
cut-down and shutdown paid divi-
dends belCx a fair rate of interest on
the capital invested in them"
With that statement it is impossible
tina the cause hitherto assigned for
reducing wages should be trle-that
the mills had not made money because
OF southern rivalry. The cut in wages
would appear to be wholly unjust, and
the turning out of Ia, 600 working peo-
pie shameful. The last plea of justii-
cation is over-production. But the
fact remains OF big profits UP to a
month ago. Why cut 10 per cent. and
thus hurt the faithful operators with
large dividends to the credit of the
bosses in 1897. The Rome fGa.) Til
bune has been making inquiries among
southern mill men, and they repori
large profits We had been led by
newspaper statements TO believe that
profits were now small. We are glad
if true, that the southern mills are
still doing a profitabfle business. The
Tribune says the opinion is general
among southern mill men that the
trouble in New England IS high sal
aries among cotton officials. Il says:

south, is paid about h same. OF
course, there are conditions in the
south much more favorable TO the cot
ton m7N business, but the big salaries
paid to h our officials named make
a big hole In the profits"

ing to lecture plethoric and prosperous
New England "on frugality." TIL south

Something TO Know

1t nay be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out V system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bftters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very
best Hood purifier and nerve tonic.
Try it. Sold for soc or S1.0O per bottle
