THIS IS TOO THIN.

THE Asheville Gazette has a verdant
Washington correspondent. In a late
letter from the capital of the new EN-
pire. he says:
1.-THE belief is so firmly established
that Mr.. Pearson will be seated that,
according to a general report, Speaker
Henderson has reserved n place for
him on the Foreign Relations Commit
tee."
OF course we have no way of divinlng
what will be the policy of the Repubil-
can House. 1t may decide to flagrantly
disregard the testimony and give Pear
son the seat to which Mr.. Crawford
was elected, but the Speaker would
never give away" the programme by re-
serving a place on "a committee for the
contestant. Nome but very fresh COR
respondent would accuse trained poll
ticians of such idiocy

WILL VOTE WHITE.

Senator Pritchard will open his cam
paign against the amendment by'speak-
ing at Rockingham, boarding the lion in
his den as it were. 1T is a compliment
to the reputation of the Richmond coun-
ty Democracy that the Republicans
make their first assault on that Gibral-
tar. When Pritchard has spoken there,
this will tell the story of his meet
ing:
1.-The King of France with twice two
Thousand fighting men,
Marched up the Hill and then marched
down again"
Richmond county has repudiated the
Dockery leadership and is not ready for
the Pritchard yoke. They are white
men in that good county and will vote
white.

THE CAROLINAS LEAD THE
SOUTH.

The Columbia State, referring to
North Cardinals primacy in the num-
Der of cotton mills, says: -
"We regret that it is so often neces-
sary to call down North Carolina wri-
tiers as to the achievements and rank of
their State in cotton manufacturing.
Somehow they have got the ear Of tex
tile publications and through them are
continually setting up claims of primacy
in this industry which are based on no
more substantial fact than that North
Carolina has Il great many little mills.
North Carolina got the ear of textile
publications. because it builds more
mills and is daily increasing the capaci-
ty of its mills already in successful oper-
alton. Some of our mills are little, but
we rejoice in that because little mills
pay hest and little mills are located here
and there all over the State whereas
large mills usually are adj together i'll a
few centres. The little mill in every
small town gives employment to near
by labor, not removing the operatives
far from their home influences and from
the advantages of contract with the
country.
We rejoice every time an old mill
doubles or adds to its capacity; we re-
joice all the more when the first mill is
built in town. The first is good; the
last is better. In small mills owner and
operative come in close contact, woT-
ship at the same church, their children
attend the same school, and the relation
between employer and employee is per-
sonal and kindly. In the large mills,
when conducted by the owners, this same
relationship sometimes exists, but not
so generally as in the small mills.
There must be no quarrel between
North and South Carolina. 1--WE be
brethren" The truth is that both lead
North Carolina in the number of mills
and South Carolina in the number of
spindles, and North Carolina ''dares"
South Carolina in friendly race for
the next ten years as to the number OF
spindles as well as of mills. 1t is IL
friendly contention for progress. North
Carolina will manufacture this year
every bale of cotton it produced last
season, and next year will have to draw
on South Carolina or Georgia for cotton
to keep it's mills going.
The Carolinas lead the South. North
Carolina in manufacturing is easily the
Empire State of the SOUTH

Having cut and dried the platform and

washington Post.)

Crisfield, Md, Jan. IA ripple Of
excitement went over the congregation
Of the First Baptist church, this city,
last night, when Rev. Mr.. Eiswald, pas
tor of the Methodist Episcopal church
at Westover, this county, presented HIM
self at the altar and announced that he
was candidate for baptism and desired
to connect himself with the Baptist
church.
Mr.. Eiswald stated that he had been
a minister in the Methodist Episcopal
church for the past eight years, and
that he had always held good appoint
ments and liked the church, but that
the step which eliminated in his action
of last night had been taken after SIX
years Of careful study and search of the
scriptures.

Mr.. J. e. Hood returned yesterday
from Smithfeld, where he went to at
tend the funeral of his brother, Mr.
b. r. Hood. He informs us that the
article in the Free Press, copied from
the News and Observer, was erroneous;
that his brother did not take laudanum
with suicidal intent his brother had
been suffering with heart trouble and
had taken several doses of laudanum,
and that in the hurry of attending to his
business while in pain took an overdose
by accident Mr.. Hood says that no
one in Smithfeld believes that his
brother took the laudanum with suicidal
intent.

huence in these Pacific seas is the
only possible guarantee which the
future holds for the completion OF the
Nicaraguan canal. The great enter
prise has been for twenty years the
plsything Of lobbyists in the Houses
of Congress. The American flag in
the Philippines makes its completion
imperative and sure.
And when that imperial waterway
links the two imperial oceans of the
world, these Gulf and Southeastern
s ates becomes the geographical CEN
ter of the worlds commerce-with all
the measureless impetus which that
tremendous fact will give to her sea-
port cities and to her inland trade.
What people, then, have so vast an
interest in the fl .g in the East" as
We have, and if materialism be the
god of this age, is it any wonder that
votaries should follow in thousands
where bis mercenary banner leads!
Mark you, I do not say that the
S,uth is in favor of imperialism as
Nh. Bryan defines it. There is no
endorsement here of colonies of slaves
and of pro-consuls enriched with
spoils. All the instinct and tradi-
tions of Cowpens and Kings Noun
talon would rebel at thut.
But there was somehow the per-
vadiug hope that the Mckinley poll
cy, in it's fuller evolution, would con-
serve all these Republican ideals, and
the other hand. the perVadiDg appre-
hension that Bryan in his strenuous
zeal for liberty, might loose the sub
stance while be bound the shadow.
Since, then, the policy which wraps
our highest interest has won-with-
out cooperation or consent-it is high
time that the business South should
speak its mind to those who repre-
sent it in the national legislature.
We are free now from the immediate
fealty to party which bound our
tongues. Our political cause has
been staked and lost. We are at lib.
erty to find ourselves among new
conditions. The way of our mate
rial welfare is plain. Let US sum-
mon our public servants to help us
"work the road" Let US make haste
to "make friends to ourselves of the
mammcu of unrighteousnesa, that
when We die they may receive US into
the everlasting habitatibn-""
For Bryan and bis great battle
there is increasing love and admira-
tion. No cause in the republic has
had an ADLER or nobler leader than
the cause and the man just fallen by
the ballot. Time will vindicste tie
cause and the man who fought it's
battles.
Somewhere, somehow, at some time
he will rise again.
To me his worth is undiminished,
his prestige sll unbroken.
He is the last tribute of the COM
mon people, and is grander and
dearer in defeat than hs would have
been in victory.
