THERE MAY BE SOMETHING IN 1T.

u N
A month or two ago we remember
to have seen q press dispatch to the
effect that William c. Whitney had
gone to Europe. A little later We
noticed q statement to the effect that
Mr.. Whitney while in Europe would
see Admiral Dewey at some point
where he would touch on the Euro
pean Coast. About this time the
mammoth demonstration by New
York city upon the arrival of Ad-
miral Dewey was decided upon. Now
let it be remembered tina, New York
city is under the control of the gold
and monopoly Democrats under the
leadership of Croker and Tammany,
who are cheek by jowl with Whit
ney. Now following this, within
the last few days, We have seen that
there is a movement on foot id
several Southern States by leading
Democrats who pretend TO be for
silver, but who are at heart followers
OF Grover Cleveland, to try to get
Admiral Dewey to come south on a
tour. 1t is not improbable that there
is q great deal of politics in all of
this. Now while Admiral Dewey is
the naval hero of the natioa, and
deservedly so, yet from the stand
point of an executive officer Or a
legislator he is understood to be as
much at variance with the welfare OF
the people on economic questions as
Grover Cleveland himself. 1t Is
hard to believe that Admiral Dewey
would lend himself to such political
scheme, but it looks as if the gold.
bugs and monopolists were trying
to trade on his naval fame and
popularity to make him the Demo.
cratic nominee, and then, with
M'Kinley for the Republican nomi
nee, no matter which side wins, the
people would again be the under dog
TIE CAUCASIAN hopes that there il
nothing in all of this but at the same
time it is we'll enough to keep ar
eye on all these movements.

Soil For Strawberries.


From the Western Fruit. Grower
We think the soil has the most to
do with production of large or Dps of
strawberries and large berries. Sandy
soil produces the finest berries, but
not the largest or as many per acre
The reason is plain to those who
have tested the matter. If You want
large crops, select your heavy soil,
plow and subsoil deep. then repack
the soil just as hard as you possibly
can, but do not work while too wet.
Strawberry roots will penetrate the
hardest soil and will develop the best
fruit buds and produce the finest
berries. Constant and very shallow
culture is best. Sandy soil cannot
be packed SO hard, hence it will pro
duce ine plants, but not such large
crops Of fruit.

The question has often been asked
and never answered; why the Demo
cratic legislature did not put the
substance OF Sections 4 and OF the
proposed constitutional amendment
in one paragraph. 1t is noticeable
that when q Democratic newspaper
or speaker attempts to answer tire
statement that the proposed amend
ment is unconstitutional that they
invariably insist that If it is urcon-
stitutional it will all fall together.
In fact half OF their argument so lar
has been made to try to show mat
the court would not knock out see
ton 8. known as "The GraI dtaiher
Clause without knocking out tht
whole amendment. In this conn'c-
ton some information which THE
CAUCASIAN has received, is very IN
terestine. That information Is to
the effect that in the Democratic
Caucus of the last Legislature there
was quite a contest between the
Democratic mem bers as to whether
or not the grandfather clause should
be put into separate section or en-
GRATED into one section with the
provisions OF &c ction 4. We are IN
formed that those Democrats who
favored joining the two sections, IN
sisted that il this was done then the
court could not knock out Sec
ton s without knocking ont III.
whole educationl qualification feat
ure. Indeed, we are told that q
number of Democrats a long time
refused to vote for the amendment
unless s, elton 5 was engraf;ed with
section in one paragraph, on The
ground that they feared If this wa
not done, fifty or sixty thousanc
white men might be disfranchised II
the State by the amendment. Nov
il this is true, the action Of the leg
islature in adopting the smendmen
with the grandfather clause in sep
arate section, be comes more sigpiti
cant than ever. OF course this tact
il 1t is a fact, does not Increase TIA
danger of the voter being disfran
chis,d any more than if the legisla
ture had no such intention; but tn
fact, if 1t is a fact that the legisls
ture purposely separated these sec
tons would indicate that there was
desire among the inner circle to dis
franchise as many poor ignorsr
white men as negroes.
We do not publish the above as
fact, but having received it on whs
we consider good authority, We pull
lish it in order that the members {
that legislature may purge then
selves of such a design against Ii
poor white voters of the State

The demonstration In New York !
and Washington over the return OF
Admiral Dewey was tremendous
and unprecedented. Never before
in the history OF the world has any |
conquering hero, upon his return
home after brilliant military or
naval accomplishment, received
such an imposing, magnificent and
unanimous reception. The naval
parade in New York barbor both by
day and by night, was unquestion-
ably the most imposing and bril-
liant scene that the world has hith-
erto produced. The land parade
in New York on the following day,
beginning at Grants Tomb and ex-
tending for seven miles down
through the city OF New York to
the triumphal arch on Fifth Ave
nue., with five millions OF people
banked on each side of the trium-
phal procession, was enough to turn
the head Of any man that was not
made out OF stern stuff. No other
city in the world could surpass New
York in such demonstration and
New York surpassed itself.
The reception given to the Adj
miral at the Nations Cap
itol was different in kind, but was
unique and no less imposing and
appropriate. Probably no one liv-
ing will ever see its equal. The
American people love real hero
but it is not often that one is pro-
duced under such peculiarly fasci-
mating and favorable circumstan.
ces. The victory at Santiago was
as brilliant and complete as the one
at Manila Bay, but for several rea
sons it was not possible for the
American people to join so unan
imously in making such welcome
to any one of its heroes. In the
first place Santiago is too near oul
shores to give the kind Of enchant
ment that surrounded the victory
at Manila. In the next place, thu
real he 70 of Santiago was not in su
preme command, technically speak
ing; and, besides, he was not thu
favorite of the powers that be il
Washington. There was no one a
Manila to divide the hOnOrs witt
Dewey, and there were no circum
stances that made it possible TO
the Department ring at Washing
ton to attempt to rob him Of any o
his glory, even though he We're no
the yet. Then again, the Manil
victory was the first of the Spauisl
war. 1t was half way across tn
world, and therefore in latitud
where American naval proves
had never yet been displayed. Thi

Manufacturers RecOrd.l

Manufacturers Record.l
The Farmers Warehouse Co., of
Ande rson, S. c., is ready for BUSH
ness, and two of the banking insti-
tutions of the town advertise that
they are prep red to make liberal
advances on all receipts for cotton
stored in the warehouse referred to.
This indicates the feeling of finan-
cial institutions towards Jne ware
housing of cotton at home, and
means that the planters can obtain
money at once for their needs, while
holding their material until they
deem it wise to sell. It is safe to
say that the invitation contained in
the advertisement will be cordially
accepted, as it will be in other parts
of the South, : S fast as the improv-
ed system is introduced.
Referring to the warehouse sys-
tenn for cotton, so familiar to read
ers of the manufacturers Record
The Charlotte Observer says:
| sit has been often and continu
ously complained that the cotton
crop was of necessity sacrificed by
| the farmer because he was COM
PEELED to part with it in the au
tumn. The new warehouse system
seems to be a perfect place to rem
edy the trouble, if there has been
any trouble.
| "By the new warehouse system
cotton may be stored, and on the
storage receipts given money may
be borrowed at a very fair rate of
interest. The warehouse is bond
ed, the bond being given by a sure
ty company to insure the safety or
validity of the receipts. In many
towns and cities of the South these
bonded warehouses have already
been built and are in operation. The
companies receive cotton, issue re-
ceipts, and can either loan money
or give names and addresses of cor
pOrations that will loan money on
the warehouse receipts as collater-
al at interest rates varying from
E to 8 per cent, including charges
and commissions.
| "While these facilities are COM
| az CAC SUI SlCO VA tA0
ers to hold their cotton if they de-
sire to do so, it is not thought the
farmer will be patron to any
great extent. The cotton buyers OF
cotton merchants AMI the cotton
mills will, however, find the new
warehouse convenient, economical
and practicable.
"rhe bonded warehouse system
for storage of cotton in the South
is based upon correct principles
and those companies which are
honestly and well managed deserve
support. There are two warehouse
companies in Charlotte, where cot
ton can be stored and where re-
ceipts are good for reasonable ad.
vance in cash to reasonably good
people"
