AS TO HOLDING COTTON.

Charleston News and Courier.
In view of the predictions being made
by the spectators that the growing cot
ton crop will be very large one, says
the Athens, Ga, Banner many papers
are advising the farmers to hold their
cotton until it is demonstrated that the
crop will be a much smaller one than is
predicted, and it adds: This may be
good advice, but the question arises, how
are the farmers going to hold it? The
average farmer owes debts, and in many
many instances these debts amount to
more than the crops are worth. These
debts are secured by mortgage liens on
the crops. If the farmer wanted to hold
the cotton he couldn't do it, for practi-
cally the cotton DOGS not belong to him.
There will have to be some other and
better remedy suggested than that of
holding the crop back"
This is true as far as it applies, and it
applies very far. Probably four farmers
in five, or a larger proportion, are com
PEELED to sell, or surrender, their crop
rs soon as it is gathered, for the reasons
stated. The advice given by many papers
does not concern them. We are not
among the papers which have given it,
as we are shy of specializing about cot
ton publicly, as well as Specializing in it
privately, preferring to leave such ven
lures to the experts. 1t is a tricky crop,
and even the experts are caught out
OCCASIONALLY. We believe the advice
noted is good, however, and that it can
be followed safely by farmers who are
position to follow it; that is, by those
who own he cotton they are making or
will make.
Mr.. NeilPs estimate of a 100000
bale crop, which broke prices a few
weeks ago, has not been accepted with
confidence even by the speculative and
other interests, which it favors, and the
general opinion is that it is too high by
several hundred thousand bales, perhaps
by not less than million bales.
In these conditions it appears to be
safe" for the independent cotton grower

COUNTY JAILoR GOES.
White Evolution Cause Grows in Sheriff
Hahns' Office
New bern JOulnal.l

(NeWb bern J0urnal.)
Those persons who will care to recall
some of the events of the last political
campaign i'll this State, when the issu,
was strictly White Supremacy, may re-
member that number of pictures were
printed of the leading negro office hol!
eTs i'll Craven county.
Among those printed was the likeness
of one Nathan Cobb Il negro neither
handsome in looks, nor decently civil in
disposition.
Cobb was the proud jailor of Craven
county, and Sheriff Joe has often EN-
ployed him as deputy when there was
some tough citizen TO be handled.
This Jailor Cobb like nearly all of his
race when IN office, felt that he was too
important to be shut out at any time
and that the negro vote was behind him.
and Sheriff Joe was afraid to fire him
even for cause"
Sheriff Joes political principles are
pretty stiff and he is no man to go back
on a constituent, even a NEGRO, hence
the negroes felt safe i'm office under
Sheriff Joe.
Some months ago the white evolution
which had been going ON in Craven
county, found entrance in the Sheriff.
office, and a negro deputy Went ont and
a white deputy went in.
Yesterday the evolution was continued
Jailor Cobb who regarded himself more
of Il fixture as Craven county office
holder than even his superior in con-
mand, Sheriff Joe, mad to go. And worst
of all from a Cobb point of politics, his
successor was a white man named Ell
Elliott.
Truly this pressing the button" poll
tical business of the negroes in Craven
county seems to be the wrong kind Of
political push, for as each negro on:
a white man steps in, and the TEgro
office seeker and officeholder are becom-
ing extinct, and will soon become poiti-
cal culios because of their rarily, even

stood. lie cannot well lose much, and he
may gain much, by so doing. The indi-
cations, on the whole, are unfavorable
to an excessive crop, and he should gov
ern his conduct accordingly.
The regretable feature of the situation
of course, is that there are many cot
ton farmers who are not free to consult
their judgment and probable interests in
the premises, but must part with their
product in haste even though they were
assured that they would profit greatly bv
holding it for a short time. The on,y
pertinent advice to be given to them is
that they should put themselves in a bet

NOT A POLITICAL QUESTION--MR. SET
TIES VIEWS.

In a recent issue we published letters
from prominent Democrats, Republicans
and Populists advocating the constitu-
tional amendment. When the measure
was submitted by the Legislature, Dem
ocrats and Populists voted for its sub
mission. In the discussion which has
followed men of all parties have advo.
Gated it, and our information from all
sections of the State makes us believe
that if the election were held tomorrow
nearly all the Populists and many Re
pubhcans would vote for it. if it could
be presented as a simple proposition
freed from political complications In a
hot campaign, when all the loca, and
State offices are to be filled, party pres
sure and political ambition wcald cause
many TO follow their party in what
ever attitude it takes. In spite. however
of the certain hostility of the Republi
can machine. and the equally certain
hostile Fusion Populst machine, unless
all reports are without foundation. the
machines cannot induce the better ele-
ments of both parties to vote against the
amendment.
The attitude of Hon. Thomas Settle,
ex-Congressman from the Fifth Dis
trict, has been the political event of the
past week. Mr.. Settle is Republican
of RanrhlioanC +ha mama Cattl, IN North
Carolina stands for stalwart Republi-
canism. Speaking of the constitutional
amendment and Republican politics, Mr..
Settle said:
Unless | undergo a very radical and
an unexpected change, l shall advocate
and vote for the constitutional amend
lllent. independent of any political
party idea, / believe that the adoption of
this measure will mean the best wisdom
for North Carolina. To me it appears
as the correct solution of a difficult
problem.
There can be no question as to where
l stand on national politics. l am a
Republican, pure and simple. But l
have not been, and cannot be, in sympa-
thy with the political log-rolling of
great many OF the RepubhcanS OF this
State. In this matter | am biased solely
by honest conviction.
Il may add, merely as a matter of
fact, that recently l have received a
great many letters from Republican
friends, urging that / make a stand for
the nomination for Governor or as
Congressman. This / cannot do. SO
long as the Republican party In North
-Il.a
ton to the constitutional amendment
cannot conscientiously run on the
ticket"
Mr.. Settle in these few words has COM
pressed a volume, and we are greatly
mistaken if the sentiments to which he
gives expression are not shared by many
men in the Republican party who have
followed him and his father before him
in political life.

The pillars will be of East Haven rcd

The free bath houses at Fort Hale

and are in use almost constantly daily
as the water is always deep enough

of these will also be erected. Ladies in
the house near by have charge of the

Fort Hale Park will, as soon as money
enough is available for the purpose, be
greatly beautified, in accordance with
plans prepared by our distinguished
townsman and author, Donald G.

his designs for Fort Hale Park provides
for having a casino or pavilion for the

beauty of the landscape while the
pond will furnish place where good
skating can be had in winter.
