The Two BROTHERS.

There is no better medicine for
the babies than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. It's pleasant taste
and prompt and effectual cures
make it favorite with mothers and
small children. It quickly cures
their coughs and colds. preventing
pneumonia or other serious conse-
auences. It also cures Group and
has been used in tens of thousands
of cases without single failure SO
far as we havo been able to learn.
It not only cures Group, but when
given as soon as the croupy cough
appears, will prevent the attack.
In cases of whooping cough it
liquefes the tough muous, making
it easier to expeotorate, and lessons
the severity and frequency of the
paroxysms of coughing, thus de-
priving that disease of all danger

TO IMPORT HAYES.

The Washington correspondent writes
the Ashevile Gazette that Col. Melville
Hayes. of Ohio, son of Rutherford d.
Hayes, will canvass North Carolina in
opposition to the Constitutional Amend
ment. He is said to be IAN able and en-
tertaining speaker and is expected to
lend interest to the Pritchard- i'm
Young anti-amendment caravan which is
to cover the State.
Let him come ON. The people of North
Carolina have been subjected to coer-
cicn from Federal troops, dictation from
RloCdy Shirt waivers, and threats of one
sort or another for a long time. 1t has
Stood Candy, Torrgee, Pritchard and
other appropriations and risen superior 10
all 1t will do it's own thinking and
voting, Mr.. Hayes or no Mr.. Hayes.
If Pritchard will import Il dozen other
Ohio orators, the amendment will be car
ried by forty Thousand. There is no fear
or danger from an open fight from Ohio,
and the anti amendment folks are not
depending ON their help. Hanna is prob
ably sending Hayes down as distributor
TO see that the money sent here to buy
the State does not stick in the pockets
OF Republican leaders as it has been
wont to do in the past.

THE OTHER SIDE.

There seem to be two sides to the ques-
tion of the market the Philippines will
give to the products of the Southern cot
ton mills. Many are congratu ating them
selves ON the new entrance aud looking
forward to profitable trade IN our ''new
colonies The Houston TEX Post
says that it is neither sound business
nor good politics, SO far as the South is
concerned, to open up new countries, the
productions of which will send the agri-
cultural products OF the South tunlbll,g
TO a price that will impoverish cur farm
ers." Mr.. Slayden, member of the
House from Texas, has been studying
Commissioner Worcester book on THE
Resources of the Philippines" and talk
ing with the author about it. He says:
What interested me most was what
he said about the possibilities of prOduc-
ton in the Philippines. He says tnat
even now some cotton is produced ANA
made into cloth in the islands He also
says that years ago Il great deal of cot
ton was produced in LuZon, but that the
eXactions of the tobacco monopoly were
such that the Spanishs Government forced
the people to abandon the production of
cotton and grow tobacco instead. With
this control removed as soon as peace
and order again obtain it is thought that
the people will once more engage in the
cultivation of cotton"
Mr. Slaydem says that Mr.. Worcester
~. l..
cotton, and that in the main they are NOT
liable to killing frosts," and that with
wages at ) to- 10 per day it would be
possible to grow cotton at a very small
cost After quoting Mr.. Worcester at
more length Mr. Slayden says:
''Now here is problem for the people
of Texas-indeed fcr the people of the
whole South-to consider. Cam Texas
farmers compete successfully against amy
such conditions and are they willing to
put cudgel into the hands of a few
trusts and speculative syndicates to beat
out their own brains? This Philippine
problem is Il business as we'll - a pOliti-
cal question.
There cam be no doubt about 1T, the
islands of Hawaii, Porto Rico and Cuba-
should the Government abandon the path
of honor and fail to keep its pledges for
free Cuba-wil soon drive Louisiana and
Texas rice and suger growers our of bust
ness. 1t is also becoming evident that Il
competing cotton growing region may
be developed in the Philippines
SO far our information is scant and
opinions vary. 1t may be well to wait
for better knowledge before expressing
an opinion. but there is food for reflection
in Mr.. Slayden's suggestion.

GIFTS TO EDUCATION.

Andrew Carnegie has given $300,000
to Cooper Union to establish the last of
the founders scheme, day school of
work for boys. He says he makes the
gift as atal humble follower of Cooper
who was among the first of our disciples
of the true gospel of wealth. Mr.. Car
negie is now wearing Peter CoOper's
mantle and wearing it worthiy.
On the 2Sth Of October, 1898, John
d. Rockefeller told DR.. Harper. president
of Chicago University, that if he could
raise $2,000,000 additional by January
1st 1900, he would give $2,000,000 more
to endow the University. DR.. Harper
has not yet raised the amount and has
obtained an extension of three months
from Mr.. Rockefeller BY that time he
says that he will have the funds neces-
sary to make an additional four mil,on
efeller began to give largely and has
averaged one million dollars a year. In
a speech to the students OF the Chicago
University he said:
God gave me my moniey. and | find
this Il good investment for it. | rem@m-
her conversation with your President,
in which it was agreed was to have
the relation OF Il silent partner. | have
no hesitancy in saying that 1T has been
kept"
1t is gratifying to see rich men give
largely to the cause of education. We
hope that our North Carolina institutions
this year will be helped and strengthened
10y large additions to their endowments.
The gifts of the past ten years have
been considerable and have resulted in
better facilities, better equipment, larger
faculties and increased Attendance. We
hope 1900 will be notable for large gifts
so that their usefulness may be still
further enlarged.
