REPUBLICAN LOSSES.

The Republicans lost votes in every
State in the Union last Tuesday except
in Iowa and South Dakota. In Ohio
they lost II 1884; in Kentucky, 2,151; in
Maryland, 0,767; in Nebraska. 10000;
in Pennsylvania, 1881; in Massachu-
sets, 1S,061; in Mississippi, 1900. To
be sure in such States as Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts they could afford to
lose In Ohio their loss is serious be-
cause, while Nash has $4,000 plurality,
the opposition has a majority of 10000,
and that opposition will be united In

MORE COTTON MILLS NEEDED.

The Tarboro Southerner says that
Eylgecombe county grows about one
twentieth of the cotton of the State,
while manufacturing but one-sixtieth.
1t mentions that the factories in that
county have helped cotton, making it
"sel here for $3.50 to 50 more than it
would if there had been no factory.
Therefore, if there shall be sold here
this season $4,000 bales, our factories
will have benefited the farmers from
$4,000 to $4,000
The cotton ought to be manufactured
adjacent to the fields: Instead of Edge
conbe selling its cotton for and Z
cents, the county would get 20 cents
per pound-and that's a big difference.

thing to be disposed of is the manner
and time of holding the primary We
took it for granted that there would be
unanimous consent to the proposition
that il should be held at the time of the
Presidential and Congressional election
in November of 1900, as made by
the Patron and Cleaner in the article
which first brought the subject to pub
lie attention. We infer, however, from
the inquiry of the Wilmington Messen-
ger evidently and naturally in aston
ishmenD il there are to be three cleo
tons next year, that some one has been
suggesting a special election between the
August State election and the Noyem-
her Federal election for ascertaining the
popular choice.
That is not what the rank and file Of
the Democracy want at all. They do
not wish Republicans and others who
oppose the Democracy to participate i'll
such n primary. That might be the
case if the primary should become a
part Of the law of the State. 1t is not
as vet and what we are dealing with
is a party matter purely. AS such, the
only way to treat it is by party ma
chinery, ordering a Democratic praty prl.
mary election or ballot at such and such
time.
When we have reached this inevita-
BILE point in the consideration of the
matter, we are confronted at once, ana
necessarily, with the utter impractical
bility Of primary election between
August and November. Not only
would it he an expensive hardship to SIC
people to call them together at such q
time when they will be assembled by the
regular machinery Of the law so soon
afterwards. viz: in November, but the
peculiar conditions of the August con
test will render vain any attempt 70 set
tie upon a Democratic electorate suit
able to such a primary.
BY the peculiar conditions" we mean
the fact that we are confidently counting
upon large Republican contingent in
the vote cast for the amendment, Mr..
Settle and numbers of other leading Re-
publicans having declared their intention
to vote with us in August on that vital
question Now, for a purely and pre-
eminently Democratic purpose such as
the Senatorial choice will be. it would
be folly to invite Mr.. Settle and his fol-
lowers into n Democratic primary, while.
under the circumstances. it might be re-
SdEueu as tIHlDilLc 10 FORMALLY exclude
them. The natural recourse, under these
circumstances, it to the simple and com
pletely just expedient proposed by the
Patron and Cleaner viz: to open a
Democratic primary polling box at the
regular Federal election in November to
all who have that dag cast their ballots
for the Democratic Candidates.
That will settle the matter in the most
perfectly just way. and with the least
expense to the people. a the same time,
it win bring out the largest vote for the
Democratic candidates possible to con-
ceive of; for each of the Senatorial as
pirants, set free to work for himself
the moment the polls close on the day
of the August election. will act as a
canvasser for votes for that ticket which
is the open sesame to the Democratic
primary.

lection to the foregoing. in any respect?

THE RIGHT NAME FOR THE WAR
Why Mr.. Davis Called it The War Be-
tween The States.

To the Editor l am advertent to
what Col Green, My fathers comrade~
in-A1nls and his friend and mine, has
said ON this subject. But the Colonel,
like the true Confederate Veteran that
he is, is too modest. He is content that
the great struggle, in which he took
such an honorable part, should be known
by the bare and insufficient title of the
War Between the States. But it be-
hooyes the youngsters who fate con-
demned to the role of 'toddling around"
the undersigned was a little past that
fer though not big enough to shoot with
out a rest he did once act as scout against
Sherman's bummers, while the women
folks buried the eatables and valuables
or rather the eatables, which were in
these pinched times the valuables, till
those unsanctified and unmill Jary-like
gentry surprised him from the rear-it
hehooves those youngsters, who are
now at the fore, to at least see that the
great drama TO which the world will
look back with ever increasing wonder
and admiration, bears a name that Will
justify it, The title The War for
Southern Independence" truly, fully and
accurately describes the struggle of a
people who, seeing their rights invaded
sought to establish an independent gov
ernment-a government swhose strength
should lie in the consent of the governed.
Col Green cites the fact that Jeffer
son Davis called it the War Between
the States. Alexander Stephens did
the same. But l do not think that the
reasons which impelled these able men,
weighty as they were, now hold.
Both Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Stephens as
of State rights, nece ssarily and
looked at the war from the
Constitutional standpoint
From that standpoint it was not
war for independence, for to their minds
the States with some slight and wholly
voluntary reservations were and always
had been independent. The. world, or at
least the worlds intelligence has now
acquiesced in their arguments.
All now know that it was not rebellion,
but an unsuccessful effort of certain
States to prevent certain other States
from forcing on them an unwilling and
harmful construction of the Constitution. !
And if my memory is not at fault
of eXpediency entered into the
name then adopted. The general appel
lation was 1.-THE war of the rebellion" 1t

Davis and Mr.. Stephens designation
