AND NOW A SHIPPING DEAL,

Hanna puts the ship subsidy bill as
one of the measures for this Congress
to pass. Tt is a simple, plain, deliber-
ate bonus taken from the pockets of
the taxpayers for the enrichment OF
a few campaign contributors.
A special from Baltimore to the New
York Sun says:
- '.:Indications of an impending steam
Ship deal continue to be shown in the
Stock Exchange transactions, and
shipping men are talking about the
probability of great consolidation
which may be accomplished in the
near future. The shares of the At
lantic Transport Company sold yester-
day at 10, an advance of II points
from the last sale on Friday, and in
New York the stock of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company rose 10
points, to 81. Both companies are
mentioned in the gossip about the
prospective combine.
''In shipping circles it is thought
that if the deal is completed a great
effort will be made to get ship sub
sidy bill through the next Congress"
And this is only one of the methods
of ''robbing under the forms of law
that will follow the election of the
trust candidates.

HOG AND HoH1NY.

The improved price in cotton ought
not to encourage any farmer to put
his dependence for the coming year on
the fieecy and uncertain staple. The
rise in the price from five and SIX
cents to eight and ten cents is due to
the small crop. If the crop OF l9oo
should be very large, fall IN the
price would recur, remandlng the
farmers to the disastrous days OF hVe-
cent cotton. There are indications
that the farmers will plant largely
increased acreage this year. those
who have good cotton land do well to
cultivate much of it in cotton
PROVIDED they first arrange to
raise plenty of hog and hominy The
time was that Southern farmers in the
Spring arranged to deliver to the
time merchants a pound of cotton for
pound of meat. That sort of trading
brought forth this doggerel:
"a pound of cotton for a pound of
meat,
Is really very dear eating,
The man who raises all cotton and
no meat
Deserves a genteel beating.
And he's got tin lack of the COM
forts, in hard times, mortgages and
the like. 1t was not until cotton went
down to five and six cents that most
farmers in the cotton sections quit
buying meat, and they didn't fully
quit then. The higher price of cotton
this year may tempt return on the
part of some farmers to the all-cotton
plan, but we think not. "The burnt
child breads the fire
The meat trust, since the election,
has increased the price of meat to con-
sumers thirty nine million dollars for
the coming year. This of itself ought
to teach the farmers of the South to
raise their own hogs, and there is
quite as much reason for raising their
own hominy.
Southern Agriculture cannot be
profitable and independent until
Southern farmers, in addition to grow
ing money crops, raise their own hog
and hominy, so as to live at home and
board at the same place.

If we talk a great deal about the need

talk no more than the seriousness of the
problem demands.
Other political questions are but as the
dust in the balance compared with the
weighty problem of bringing the advan-
tages of good education within the reach
of the Children of North Carolina. BY
sixty thousand majority the people have
declared that the boy who fails to learn
to read and write by 1908 is unfit to vote.
But by the sense of right and wrong
implanted in every heart our people will
be declared unjust if they fail after this
to provide the opportunity for that boy

HERE WE HAVE IT.

The Chicago Chronicle is the recog-
nized leader in the fight to reorganize
the Democratic party by putting the
Clevelands and the Carlisles in the sad
die. 1t started out by denounelng the
Southern Democrats for enacting con-
stitutional amendments that eliminate
NEST of the negro vote. That was Of
fensive enough, hut the Chronicle is
determined to rub it in. It's last ut
tcrance is this:
'.Without arrogance, without malice,
without departure from the truth III
the smallest degree, it should be said
and said plainly that the people OF
the North are better fitted by charac-
ter, by intelligence and by industry
than those of any other section to rule
the Government. They have ruled 1T
for forty years and nothing is more
impressively written in the books OF
fate than the fact that they are to
rule it for many generations to come.
1.-The people at the North have their
faults, as every people must have, but
such as they are, with the light given
to them, they are the people to whose
Judgment all. questions of politics
+. must be referred and to whose. decl-
sion all parties must bow"
That is the dish of which Southern
Democrats are asked to partake, and
after eating, to swear they love it.
The Southern people say in reply,
= s'Without arrogance, without malice,
without departure from the truth in
the smallest degree that they will
not be led by any set of men who
begin by telling them that they are
unfit to have an equal voice in govern
nent The hobby of these reorgan-
izers is that the Southern voters have
acted unpatriotically in voting for
Mr. Bryan, and as they are unfit to
vote intelligently "all questions of
palitics must be referred to the people
of the North to whose decision all par
ties must bow"
That is the invitation that comes
from the leader of reorganization"
VIII the Southern Democracy be in a
hurry to follow the lead of men who
entertain this opinion of their intelli-
gence and fitness to govern?

strike is ended and coal is again reaching

operators are paying the advance to the
miners and a bonus to the coal trust
which exceeds the advance to the miners

is a good thing for the miners it is likely
to prove four times as good to the mine

How Do You Like This New Fadq

Vegetarians, anti-coffee drinkers and
food cranks of every description. must
now take a back seat for new fad has
the floor.
A society has recently been formed, the
members of which pledge themselves to
eat no food whatever that has been cook
ed. They claim that unceoked food is the
only rational healthful diet that our re-
mote ancestors ate no cooked food and
therefore if we do the same. vigor and
health will be our reward
Raw meat, raw potatoes, raw wheat,
raw eggs, raw everything, is the enticing
bill of fare held out to the enthusiastic
food crank of the future and the society
proposes to establish restaurants in the
larger cities where this delightful menu
may be served daily.
Modern cooking is often a dyspepsia
producer, because we fry so many foods
which should be baked roasted. broiled
or boiled, fried food is indigestible be-
cause each particle CT food in incased in
hot grease which the digestive juices of
the stomach can not easily penetrate
but properly cooked food is more easily
digested than the same food uncooked.
very
limited following
The real cause of indigestion is the
lack of Hydrochloric acid and peptones
in the stomach so that no matter how
we'll cooked the food, it can not be well
digested unless the gastric juice is album
dant, and contains the necessary amount
OF peptones to dissolve the food.
Therefore the most sensible cure for
poor digestion is to take after each meal
some safe and reliable digestive like
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, which supply
peptones to digest the meat and eggs
and diastase to digest the bread, pota-
toes and similar starchy foods.
Laxitive medicines never cure indiges-
ton because they have no digestive eff
feet whatever upon the food; on the other
hand if the food is properly digested
there will be no need Of laXatives; good
digestion does away with constipation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain pure
aseptic pepsin government tesD dias-
tase and the digestive elements which
weak stomachs lack and they cure indi-
gestion by assisting the over-worked,
rundown stomach in its hard work, until
it is restored to its normal condition,
when the tablets are no longer needed,
but there are thousands of robust men
and women who never eat a meal with
out taking one or two of Stuart's Tab
let's, because by so doing they can eat
what they please and when they please
and be free from any bad after effects.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by druggists everywhere in the United
States, Canada and Great Britain.

Representative Dalzell, of Pennsyl-

Congress. He says the House is now
too unwieldly. He advocates fixing
100000 of population as the minimum
number entitled to a Representative
which would. leave the House as it now
stands. This would not give North
Carolina an additional member, as the
population Of the State in the census
is only 1891 1922, or only 10000 over
