FARMERS SHOULD HOLD THEIR
COTTON.

! The southern cotton planters are in
danger of losing what justly belongs
to them. If they rush their cotton,
which is ready much earlier than us
ual, to market as they seem inclined
now to do, they will press the price
of the staple down to or 91b cents.
If they hold back most of the crop,
they will get at least IL cents for il
before Christmas.
The cotton farmer had just as well
make up his mind that he has got
some fighting to do if he gets what
his cotton is really worth this season.
The brokers, spectators, spinners and
traders generally know that the far
mer has the long end of the stick if
| he has a mind to use it. Everybody
| knows that the crop is short and that
the supply of cotton was smaller on
the 1st of September this year than it
has been in thirty years. Even Neill,
the New Orleans estimator, who is
under English influences, places his
figures for the years crop at prob
ably 100000 bales"
At home and abroad the spinners
are attempting to get up concert of
action by which they will reduce the
price of cotton or advance the manu-

low prices as when they pay nine
cents The remedy is not in pressing
down the price of cotton but in press
| ing up the price of cotton goods. If
the price of cotton goes down, the far
mer loses and the mill man makes no
more than if he paid more for his cot7
ton and got more for his manufactured
product. The interest of the southern
| farmer and mill owner run together,
provided the min man can get more
for his goods. If he cannot do that,
then his interest is in buying cheap
cotton while the interest of the far
mer is in dear cotton.
the farmer to do? Clearly it is his
duty to close down, too, and quit sell
ing cotton. If the mills generally close
it will be because they think they
can put the price of cotton down. T
| they thus try to reduce the price of
his cotton below what it is worth, all
the farmer has got to do is to put his
cotton away and keep it off of the
market, and spinners and dealers VIII

cotton farmer can afford to. hold his
cotton as long as a million dollar cot
ton mill can stand idle. If the far
mers throughout the South will make
up their minds to hold their cotton
until they can obtain what it is worth
the price within two months will be
nearer twelve than nine cents. t
The News and Observer told the
farmers last year that cotton was
worth ten cent pound and IL
they would hold it they would get
that price. Many of them did so. Cot
ton is worth nearer twelve cents this
season than it was ten cents last scar
son. Let the farmers get togethe'
and close down for a few weeks and
watch the result. 1t requires no
prophet to see that if they rush it to
market the price will break to nine
cents. If the farmers would hold
most of their cotton back, here is
what will be the result: the mill men
will force an increase in the price of
their goods, the farmers will get more
for their cotton, and the farmer and
manufacturer will prosper together.

WHO CAN VOTE.

There seems still to be some confus-
ion as to who can vote in the Senate
rial primary. The State convention
decreed that all who voted the Demo-
cratic ticket in the State election
could vote in the Senatorial primary.
The State Executive committee at its
meeting in September, broadened the
basis of the electorate and unanimous
Nv adopted a. resolution defining the
term Democratic voter" used in the
platform. The material section was
in these words:
'sResolyed /. That the term Demo
cratic Voter" in the Democratic plat
form, be construed to include all
white electors and Croatan electors,
who vote on the said election day for
the Democratic Presidential and Con-
gressional tickets, and that they be en-
titled to- vote in the Democratic pri-
mary as well as those who voted with
.Iss in sAngnst. -@t4
1t is an absurd and anomalous piece
of politics to permit any person to
vote in a Democratic primary who is
known to vote against Democratic
nominees, but the State convention,
having opened the doors to those who
voted for Aycocl1 but who, will vote
for Mckinley, the State committee de-
termined also to open the doors to
those who voted against Aycock but
who will vote for Bryan, determining
to make the electorate so broad that
shall be denied a voice in the selec-
ton of Senator Under this plan, a
man who voted the Democratic ticket
in August may take part in the pri-
mary though he canvasses the State
for Mckinley and votes for Republic
can candidate for Congress pledged to
undo our amendment, which McKin-
lcy's convention declared to be ''rev-
dictionary" On the other hand the
most blatant Populist or Republican
! in the State, who fought Aycock and
the amendment in August and tried to
keep negro domination on the State,
may vote in the Democratic primary
if he votes for Bryan and Stevenson
and the Democratic candidate for
Congress If he calls himself a Demo
crat.
4 Democrat, Stat, bolter and a
National bolter can oil have equal
voice for one time in the Democratic
primary. As matter of fact nobody
ought to have been eligible to vote
in this primary except Democrats who
voted the straight Democratic ticket
from constable to president inclusive,
and in the future efforts will be made
10 make such voting the test of par
ticipation in Democratic primaries.
We thoroughly approve the action
OF the Executive Committee in broad
ening the scope of the electorate so
~ 10 give chance to vote to all who
wish since the State convention had
let i'm the McKinleyites. Tt is to be
hoped that the result of this broad
fest will insure full vote in Novem-
Der, for upon a full vote depends a
big majority for Bryan and Stevenson
and our Democratic nominees for the
House. And that j sthe thing to be
desired above everything else.

SHOULD RECOGNIZE ORGANIZED La
Dor.

Philadelphia Times.
The time has come when organized em-
ployers should frankly and manfully re-
cognize organized labor. Such recogni-
ton would do more than all other causes
to elevate the character of labor leader
ship, and bring to the front as represen-
tatives of labor, the most intelligent and
faithful men.
We doubt whether there is railroad
magnate in the land who would be glad
to see the Locomotive Brotherhood de-
stroyed. 1t is the best organization of all
our industrial circles, and under the lead
ership of Arthur, it has commanded the
absolute confidence of the railroad peo-
pie of the entire country. This organiza-
ton is frankly and cordially recognized,
and when grievances are presented by
that organization they are always prompt
ly and fairly considered and the result
has been, not single strike has occurred
in that industry since its organization
has been recognized by employers.
Thus every dictate of justice and of eX-
pediency demands that the labor organi-
cations of today should be cordially re-
cognized by employers. They could not
do otherwise if they would and they should
not do SO if they could. Labor organiza-
tions are here and here to stay. and the
sooner they are brought into the closest
relations with organized employers, the
sooner will the control of labor be brought
to the highest standard of intelligent and
honest administration. 1t has been done
by the Coal Operators Association of Illi-
nois the result has been most satisfae-
tory to all. and the anthracite operators
of Pennsylvania would do well to inau-
gurate the system at once in our State
1t would bring the disputing parties into
more friendly and sympathetic relations;
and when employers and employees car
confer upon equal footing, strikes will
likely be eliminated from our Industrial
circles. Recognize organized labor.

POLITICAL STRAWS.

Bryan will get the greatest ovation
when he visits New York ever given to
a Presidential candidate. Croker expects
100 900 people to hear him and see him
at Madison Square Garden.
The State Committee has arranged Mr.
Bryan's itinerary in New York. Although
subject to change and extension hereaf-
ter it stood last night as follows:
October 16 (evening)--M Madison Square
Garden, New York City.
October II (day)-Rear platform speech
es at Yonkers, Peel1sldll, Garrison's,
Poughkeepsie and Hudson.
October II acknowledgement at mass
meeting in Albany, at which David B. Hill
will preside.
October IS (day)-CaT speeches at points
en- route to Binghampton and Rochester.
October IS (evening)-Speech at mass
meeting in Rochester.
October 10 (day)-CaT speeches en- route
to Buffalo. Speech at Buffalo at night.
The polls so far taken indicate that
Bryan's majority in Chicago will be "a
700. In 1896 McKinley's majority in Chi
cago was 56,SO4. This change in Chicago
would give Illinois to Bryan.
In one small county in Ohio, a careful
canvass shows that 3S1 people who voted
for Mckinley in 1896 will vote for Bryan
this year while only who voted for
Bryan have changed to Mckinley. q Re-
publicans and Democrats will not vote
at ALL This is a Republican loss of SO
per cent and Democratic gain of III
per cent and would indicate a plurality
of SO, 900 for Bryan in Ohio, if these condi-
lions hold good over the State.
A number of travelling men were in
Kinston yesterday, iand while at the depot
waiting for train, discussed politics. A
number expressed themselves. as having

was dimmed by the smoke Of the dis
charged revolver, but she could see the
figure of her sister crouched on the closet
floor.
Intutyely she knew what had happened.
She took time to lift the lifeless form
from its cramped position and stretch it
at full length upon the floor Then she
sent for the family physician, DR.. Bris-
tol.
When the physician arrived he said that
Miss Kendrick was dead, and he thought
that death had been instantaneous.
Miss Kendrick apparently had contem-
plated suicide for a time, az least, before
she committed the deed. This is evidenced
10y the fact that she must have searched
the house high and low for the pistol
which she used Mr.. kendrick said that
he had hidden that revolver as carefully
as he knew how, and that he had even
forgotten where it was. He had placed it
under some books and other odds and
ends on the top shelf of the closet of his
room.
u cannot understand how she found
it, he said.
The pistol is of 32-calilbre, an old make
and very rusty. It was loaded in but three
chambers. The trigger worked very hard
and it required considerable strength to
cock It.
AS a scholar Miss Kendrick will be re-
membered in both Klrkwood and Webster.
She completed her grammar school course
in the Webster public school and received
a high school education at Prof. Haights
school in Kirkwood. During all her early
school career she was distinguished for
her rapid progress and was known as a
student whose application was unex-
ampled.
The funeral will take place Sunday from
the Rumsey home. Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
S. Kendrick, the parents, and Martha and
Ida Hendricks, her sister, will arrive from
Wichita tonight The body viii be inter-

pony which he had possessed but a short
