5NCE OF mo FRICTION" j"
rays Farm Manager Says Di-
jr Cotten's Report is not True.

4; in this same connection, the re-
po- -of Director Gotten, who visited
the Roanoke farms, furnishes another
charming evidence of the absence of
friction. This report was printed in this
paper Wednesday morning.
The report, however, Captain Tillery
says, does him an injustice and is abso-
lutely untrue i'll many particulars. He
therefore asked the News and Observer
to print for him the following state
ment:
LAS to the fine road which Mr.. Gotten
says has been built through my farm,
| had nothing whatever to do with it. /
spent the summer at Waynesville White
Sulphur Springs and the order to build
the road was made by Captain Day in
my absence 1t was made to afford
good road to carry cotton to market,
for the benefit of the State farm and
not for my benefit.
'"The road was built after the crops
were laid by and no farm work was
going on The gin house is on the side
of this road, which is a public one, and
there is no other way to get the pro-
duce of the farm to the station except
over this road OF this the supervisor,
at odd times after all the farm work
had been finished, and under Captain
Days direction, made a good road.
AS to my objection to the cutting OF
telephone poles on the Tillery farm |
have never objected to it, and no charge
was ever made or thought of being
made for the poles used. The telephone
line was intended to connect all the
farms for the benefit Of the State.
Mr. Gotten says | strung my wire
on the State poles. The fact is that
no wire has ever been put up.
while there is nothing said in the
contract about raising hogs on shares, to
which he objects, the Tillerys furnished
about $50 stock hogs TO start with, free
of all cost to the State, giving the
State one-half of not only the increase,
but of the stock hogs also. 1t was
deemed by Superintendent ATewborne
that this would not be an unfair ar
rangemem for the State, as the pasture
belongs to the TilIerys and one-half the
pickings of the field"
Mr. Tillery says he cannot imagine
from what source Mr.. Gotten received
his information in regard to the teIe-
phone poles and would like to know his
informant.
And thus do the evidences of an entire
lack of friction between the board and
the prison management multiply.

From recent publication we ex-

Two of the most remarkable cities
in the world are Kimberley and
Johannesburg The one producing
two thirds of the worlds diamonds,
and the other, 0ne-third of all the
gold mined Twenty years ago the
sites of these present cities were
grazing ground for the Beers cattle.
Now Kimberley has population of
30, 900, and Johannesburg is a mod
ern city Of 100, 900, in the center of
gold mining district 100 miles long
and mile wide; and where wild
beasts were want to seek their victims

the telephone and the stock broker
cry. Land that sold for few cents
an acre before the discovery of gold
has become so valuable tnat building
lots on the principal streets of johann
nesburg frequently bring $3.50, 600
each And this is the character of a
country that the Beers are expected
to leave, and in consideration of the
above facts the cause of the war is
easy to determine.

The Signal congratulates the farm
ers of Washington county on the i'm
proved condition of the industry they
represent. The day of starvation

there is the great law of compensa-

However, an organ representing
vicious political intrigues of monop-
oily, gold standard and class legisla-

a coterie of unprincipled politicians
must be expected to rail at anything
not to the disadvantage of the com
mon toiles. We do not believe the
sheep owners themselves would ask
for protection at both ends-high
prices for wool and low prices for
feed. We are glad to see both class

Congressman Roberts, of
Utah, might as well understand now
as later that the American women
will never consent to an official up
holding of the theory that wife is
only entitled to fractional interest
in her husband, head counselor

can woman is a higher power than a

do very well to note that fact, for

means business. Get off the track,

AN OBJECT LESSON.

AN UBJ ELL LESSON.
The opening words in the Bible

us poor finite mortals to our own fee |
bic lmaginations as to where the ma
terial required came from, and while
With due reverence we accord to
Deity the power to create something
out OF nothing, We very earnestly as
sert that it is not within the range of
human possibilities, and the attempt
to produce a daily paper in town
the size of and subject to the condi-
lions that obtain in Weisr amounts to
just that proposition, and the impo-
sition OF such specimen of literary
inslgnlficance on a generous public is
an abuse of confidence, and where
pay is demanded is literally attempt
ing to get something for nothing. 1t
is an absurdity.
This fact was already so fully es-
tablished that the Signal, as means
of celebrating its ninth anniversary.
assumed TO add to the ridiculous
proposition by issuing an ostensible
second, devoid of all unpaid adver-
Using, with no fake press dispatches
and with only such news as comes
through the ordinary channels of in
formation, with an entire absence of
padded, antiquated kilograms, gal
vanlzed as new and special, using
only the local matter that would nat
urally accumulate for the weekly
edition, and to advertise our new
plant and give the general public an
idea of our fine and extensive print
ing facilities.
Boise and Salt Lake papers reach
Weiser as a rule long before the peo-
pie are up to read them, and the
evening press is well represented by
the Portland papers that arrive at a
seasonable hour. The editor of the
Signal fully realizes that the estab-
lishment of daily that would in
any way compete with the present
outside service would require an out
lay far greater than he could afford
or the town support. Time will no
doubt change the conditions and
there will be time enough to give
the matter serious consideration
For the past three days Weiser has
had the unusual experience of two
alleged daily papers.
The possibilities of establishing a
daily Signal has in the past been
considered by the publisher, and the
dihcultles before stated have always
seemed an effective bar to a success

same time we had the cordial and

on why the Signal does not at pres

Don't you know the farmers about

their hay so high?'
A gentleman quite conversant with
such affairs spoke thus to the reporter
yesterday and investigation showed that
there was at least some truth in the as
sertion. The principal local feed con-
sumption, is by sheepmen, and they do
not AS rule find high prices for hay
justifable. There is an immense WELD
OF hay in Washington county, estimated
at some $50, 900 tons. and this is expected
to be used by the local sheepowners. The
farmers make each year Contracts with
these stock raisers, and deliver as neces-
sary through the winter. This wear,
however, sales are not heavy or general.
1t seems that the owners of hay in this
county have decided that the price has
not been as high as it should have been.
and this season have raised. There is nc
trust just only a desire for more cash
for the product of their land, and a de-
termination to get it. The bad weather
coming on earlier than usual has had
something to do with it, many believing
the feeding of stock for longer time
than customary would have the effect OF
creating shortage OF hay, and thus
eventually raising the price, But this. il
