TWELVE CENT COTTON.

All estimates agree that the present
"visible supply" of cotton is lower
than at any time for thirty years, be-
ing only about one-third of what it
was one year ago. The highest esti-
mate of raw cotton on hand now is
100000 bales, and it is probably I'M
der that number. The highest esti-
mate of the maturing crop is 10000
600 bales, which has been greatly re-
duced by the disastrous storms. Dur
ing the past three years the consump-
ton of cotton has averaged 11,50O,-
600 bales.
These facts show tl.at the farmers
can get a fair price for their cotton
if they will hold it. Spot cotton
ought to bring eleven cents by the
middle of October and twelve cents
by November. The short crop, the
small visible supply" and the large
consumption necessary for the mills
already running make it clear that
cotton will bring eleven or twelve
cents IL the farmers Will not rush III
to lnaket.sa Cotton is really worth
twelve cents and will bring that be-
fore the year is out unless the farm
ers press down the price by rushing
their crop to market.
The recent storm has cut off the
crop materially. not so much proba-
iblysas the 100000 bales estimated,
butt the damage is very great. The
weatller conditions before had been
so unfavorable that the Southern
Commissioners of Agriculture, upon a
careful consideration of reports esti-
mated the crop at only 100000 bales.
Since the date of that estimate, the
seasons have been so unfavorable that
it need surprise no one if the crop is
not more than 100000 bales.

AN INTERESTING OCCASION.

The completion of any building de-
voted to the cause of humanity or re-
ligion is always matter Of general
congratulation to city; for, though
such buildings may bear denomina-
tionaI or other names, they are for
the uplifting of the whole city.
Raleigh has, been blest with the be-
ginning or finishing of several such
buildings during the past year. The
Good Shepherd congregation has be-
gun it's costly stone church. The
Methodists of the State are making
good Roadway on their cluster of
buildings at their orphanage. The
Raney Library building, one of the
noblest gifts ever made to a North
Carolina city, is nearing completion.
The Catholics have finished and oc-
cupied their orphanage on one Of the
most charming sites around the city.
This week the Presbyterians will
finish their expensive house of wor-
ship, and the whole city rejoices with
them in the successful accomplishment
Of their great undertaking. Next
Sunday many of our churches will
join with them in the dedieatory SER
vices of this building and the occasion
will be one of interest and profit to
our entire community.

HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.

A correspondent of the New York

''In the political pamphleteer' lit

Isn't it little inconsistent that we

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS,
MKINLEY's CAMPAIGN LETTER.


Philadelphia Times.
Mr.. McKinley's long-delayed letter OF
acceptance, of the nomination made three
months ago, has acquired in the interval
the proportions of a Presidents annual
message, with much of its comprehensive
dullness. 1t includes both an elabora-
ton of the Republican platform and re-
ply to portions of the Democratic plat
form. 1t is partly congratulatory and
partly apologistic. 1t would probably have
been shorter had it been completed soon
er, and if shorter, it might have been more
effective.
1t is not necessary to discuss the Pres
ident's presentation of the subject now.
1t will have plenty of discussion in the
campaign and the glittering phrases with
which he punctuates his plea do not make
an end of controversy. The very serious
sequel of our military expansion in the
East that is Just now disquietng the coun-
try receives no attention in the letter
There is just a little postscript referring
to the relief of the legations at Pekin,
but nothing about the new engagements
of the United States in the European con-
cert The omission lis doubtless prudent

IS IT A CRIME?

The New Bern Journal says that the
people of New Bern are stirred up over
the case of a boy in that city whose
death is attributed to the Christian
Science doctors or practitioners.
1t seems a young boy, Henry Parson,
by name, was sick with slight attack
of malarial fever. A Christian Scien-
fist woman was called in, no medicine
was given him, and the boy died
When asked if she had called a doc
tor, his mother said she had ''some-
body better than a Doctor" After the
boys death an autopsy was held and
the coroner held an inquest. The evi-
dence showed that the boy had been
given no food, medicine or water.
God is with you Henry. You are
alright said the Christian Scientist
doctor just before the boy died. The
coroners jury returned this verdict:
I'VE, the coroner's jury, empanelled to
investigate the cause of the death of
Henry Parsons, a child of eleven years of
age, find from the evidence the following
facts:
THE child was suffering from malarial
fever and did not receive medical treat
ment, because he was under the care of
Miss Hatchie Harrison, a Christian
Scientist.
1--WE find from the evidence his death
was the result of improper treatment and
neglect. We further find from the evil
dence that the child in all probability
would have recovered if he had had proper
medical treatment

This is the first case of this charac-
ter recorded in North Carolina. 1t
ought to arouse the doctors and the
lawmakers of the State to take the
necessary action to prevent recur-
renee of this sad death. If it is not
crime for a boy to be allowed to die
from such neglect it ought to be made
one. AN ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure"

FELLOW WHO PUT THE NEGROES OF
TOP.
Winston Sentinel.

Winston Sentinel.
Let those who believe in white suprem-
asy bear in mind that Spencer Blackburn,
the Republican nominee for Congress from
this district while member of the Legis-
lature, voted for a negro and against a
manned Confederate soldier for door
keeper of the House and that he voted
to place Eastern towns and cities I'M
der negro control. If the contention be
granted that the negro is out of the way
(Which we suspect will be found a mis-
take), let us now address ourselves to
the task of keeping out of official posi-
ton the fellows who tried to put the ne
gro on top. This purpose may be empha-
sized here by voting against Blackburn
and by voting for Buxton, for Congress.

and Democratic gain as occurred at the

Bryan the following States which voted
against him in 1895: West Virginia, Ken

UNDER WHICH FLAG. WHITE MAN?

Statesville Mascot.
Mckinley has appointed many negroes
to office in North Carolina. Many Of
these negroes have been appointed post
masters in Eastern towns and villages
where white women and children have to
come in contact with them. They are all
offensive and obnoxious to the white peo-
Pile In fact, a negro postmaster is pro-
badly as obnoxious as any other negro
officer could possibly be, for all sexes
and ages have business with postmasters.
If, Mckinley is reelected he will keep
these negroes in office. If Bryan is elect
ed no negro will get office in North Caro-
lima. Under which flag white man?

that it seemed impossible TO extin-

alarm vas sounded no one could be
