DON'T Sell ina Hurry.

Southern producers have not shar-
ed the general prosperity Of the rest
of the country, because they have
been compelled to part with their
cotton crop at ruinously low figures.
There is now an opportunity of
securing some improvements; hence
they should not allow themselves to
be cajoled or induced to part with
their cotton at low prices through
a fear of a heavy crop. It is inn
possible that the vast number of re-
ports as to the damage done by the
drouth can be exaggerations, and in
the light of such information the
producers must be we'll aware of the
crop prospects and are in position
to make the most of the situation.

Profit in Cattle.

The top notch beef cattle are be-
ing sold at $500 per hundred. A
fine fat steer weighing 1000 or 1900
pounds will buy two and a half
bales of cotton at prevailing prices.
Unfortunately the South is as short
on cattle as long on cotton. Itdoes
seem that the profits of the two
would cause the cotton raiser to
stop and consider bit. Cattle are
seldom below the cost of production
and yet the fact is the cattle of the
South has deteriorated rather than
improved in the last ten years.
Many an old, poor field might be
made profitable while being made
richer with cattle. 1t is true every
farmer has not the capital to go in
10 the extensive raising of cattle,
but few acres Of grass, clover and
peas, with care and attention, would
raise half a dozen or more steers
that would give more profit than
many broad acres of cotton. This
can not be done with a mongrel
breed of Jerseys and scrubs that
could hardly be made to weigh 1000
pounds at six years instead of two.
If some attention was given to breed
ing the better. grade of cattle for
beef purposes and a few dollars ex-
pended preparing pastures the far
mers would find the profits of far
ming materially increased. -Coying-

he deserves to be, for he fat
tens and llourishes at the ex-
pense Of the people, for
whose interest he cares
naught. Four cent cotton
has no terrors for him, so
long as he can manipulate
matters political. At the
democratic gubernatorial con-
vention held in GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, last week, a platform
was adopted containing the
following plank:
owe believe that honest political
leaders are necessary and command
the respect of people and parties.
Political bosses are to be detested
and are inimical TO our form of GOV
eminent. Bosses represent simply a
concentration Of political power or.
a ring. They live aud exist through
jobs and schemes loaded upon the
taxpayers. They substitute their
rule in their party for the rule
OF its voters and visit political
death upon any who refuse to bow
TO their dictation. They select the
nominees, who, If elected, remain
their tool and administer their
official powers in the interest
of tLeir bosses, not the people"

White Supremacy in North
Carolina.

North Carolina has just entered
upon one of the most eventful cam
paigns in her history. 1t is more
far reaching than the political des-
TIMES of a man or the achievements
Of party. 1t is a death struggle
between the Anglo-Saxon and the
African, and when the smoke of
battle will have cleared the State,
the political and social supremacy of
the white man of North Carolina
for the time and for all time will
either be absolute and unconditional
or else negro domination will again
immerse the State into ignominy
and disgrace.
This campaign is waged on a
proposed suffrage amendment to the
constitution submitted to the people
by the last Legislature. 1t was de-
signed for the single purpose of
eliminating the negro as political
factor, and it is a notable fact that
the educational qualification enjoin-
ed upon the negro is not exacted of
the white man. 1t is not intended
that an Anglo Saxon shall be dis
qualified.
Every person of eligible age who
applies for registration, for instance,
must be able to read and write any
section or sections of the Federal
Constitution.
Under this clause 100, 900 in-
competent negro voters in North
Carolina will be forever barred from
the polls.
But the ignorant white voters
and there are perhaps thousands of
them-can enter through another
gate. Section provides that any
lineal descendant of any voter in
this county prior to 1857 shall be
entitled to vote whether he can read
and write or not.
1t is more than a political fight;
it is a fight in defense of home and
decency. 1t is constitutional de-
cree that the Anglo-Saxon shall
govern this State. On this plat
form the Democracy stands. The
Republicans have challenged this
for party protection.
The issue has been joined. For
thirty years it has been lodged,
evaded, beclouded. 1t is to the
point now. Ii is the crucial test
between Southern Republicanism
and Southern Democracy.
Every State in the South will
feel its effect. 1t is a humane war
Of races, IN which ballots are the
Dloodless weapons.
F. ). Simmons, Chairman of the
Democratic State Executive Com
nittee, furnished a statement in
which he emphasizes the determine
ion of the white people to enforce
he foregoing qualifications in order
o rid the political field of the
legro. lie says:
''The amendment will receive the
United support of the Democratic
,arty and that part of the Populist
-ote which has not, by fusion with
he Republican party, become
thoroughly Republicanized.
'In addition to this, large num-
'er of white Republicans will sup
'Ort the amendment, because they
elieve it to be to the best interest
f the State and both races that it
hould pass. Atlanta Journal.
