A Low and Disgusting 1 Issue.

A Low and Disgusting I ssue.
Caswell County Democrat.
Since the election some Of our
esteemed contemporaries, and
among these some Of the States
largest daily papers, have through
their columns, spoken most empha-
tically In regard to the national
campaign, which will begin Sep
tember lst. The Raleigh Post,
Biblical Recorder and the Presby-
terian Standard regard 1t as unwise
and unfaithful to the Democratic
cause, nationally, to inject the ne
as an issue in the fall campaign
while on the other hand the News
| nd Observer, Wi mington Messen'
ger and several other pai ers declare
that negro postmasters, Federal of
foe holders and such make it nee
ssary that the negro shall be an Is
sue, aud anything detrimental t.
1t would be suicidal 10 the Bryan
IL. ctoral vote this fall.
We believe thai no such low an
degrading issues will ever be thrus
upon decency again and should no

Political IntOIere

Says Trojan" (Rev. J. G. Troy in
. published communications:
"There is another need in North
Carolina. It is the eradication of
this fearful spirit of political intol-
erence:prevsiling in our midst. The
Charlotte Observer thought the adop-
ton of the amendment would make
all free. 1t has not done so. The
party whip is still being used and
the venom of men belonging to the
machine would make rattler blush
Negro domination (of which there i.
not the least dangel) is not to be
dreaded more than the domination
of machine politics and its bosses.
The people are going to fight it. You
may hear them talk every day and
everywhere.
The s'andard-bearer Of the Demo
cratic party, W. j. Bryan, would not
indulge in such stuff, and should he
come to North Carolina would not
tell the people that they we're in dan
ger of negro domination simply be-
cause Mckinley had appointed some
negro postmasters in the State. But
speaking of negro postmasters let me
say: For four years the good old town
of Fayetteville had one ia the per-
son Of Ben Henderson. He had been
appointed one year before the exoi-
ration of Mr.. Harrison's term to sue
ceed q white man removed for cause.
He filed out four year term and
uot one thing in all those years was
brought against his character. Go
to Fayetteville and ask the people
about Ben Henderson. Tnis Is thrown
in just as pit of history. The wri-
ter does not favor negroes in Off mce,
! out ne is IN favor OF letting shom
alone aud doing for them all posi-
BILE good. North Carolina has cause
to be proud Of her negroes. tax
ing them as q whole. Let Us be mis-
sionsries to them.
Right here it is in order to remark
that the stand taken by the editors OF
the great religious papers of the
State is to be highly commended. Ir
fact, not two but four. If the negro
had to be cared for by the politicians
he would be in hell right now; anc
and not the negro only, but host o.
honest Democrats in the State who
wished him we'll. I voted for th'
amendment and would do so again

SOUTHERN TEXTILE MILLS.

------- rear.
A Baltimore special gives a review
of the development of the Southern
textile industry from which we make
the following extract:
''In 1897 it was announced with a
great deal of satisfaction to persons in.
terested in the study of industrial de-
velopment of the South that the cotton
mills of that section had passed the
million mark in the use of bales of cot
ton. The total consumption by South
ern mills in that year was 1,042, ,671
bales, or about 36 per cent. Of the total
number consumed in the country. In
the year just closed, however, the con-
sumption by Southern mills has gone
beyond the million and a half mark,
!, ,597 ,l12, or more than 40 per cent of
the consumption in the country. This
showing was to be expected in view OF
the rapid expansion of mill building in
the South during the past year, as one
town after another has started mil
for the first time, or has added TO the
mills already in operation, or increas-
ed their capacity. There has been pos
sibly a slight decline recently in def
mite plsns for additional mills, although

training is becoming stronger ever!

of the textile news presented during
the past month by the Manufaot urers

completion of newly organized mills
There were nine of these mills, four il

A Paradise for Squirrels.
Salisbury 'Iruth-Indez

[Salisbury Truth-Index.
At Mr.. Albert Miller's, in Davie
county, squirrels are very plentiful.
They can be seen on the trees in the
yard, and over the buildings almost
any time. They have eaten up about
ten bushels of Mr.. Mi1ler's corn this
wear and at one time sometime ago he
counted fifteen squirrels making for
his corn crib. 1t was more than he
could stand and he got after them with
his gun and killed two at one shot.
His corn cribs are favorite resorts fol
the squirrels of the settlement.
