Promising Railroad ResOrt.-Lewes ex-
poets to have a boom in building
shortly. The work of surveying the
lots on the ocean front, which has been
agitated at Lewes for some time, has
been completed and shortly the leases
on the lots will be offered. For a long
time there has been a demand in Lewes
for sites in summer cottages costing
from $500 to $1,000 each. The leases
could not be given because the ocean
front had not been surveyed, but the
work has been completed and the
people of Lewes, expect the carpent-
ers an other builders to be busy from
now on erecting cottages i'll time for
occupancy next summer. The lots
have been laid out something like the
plan in Rehoboth, with four lots on
each block. An improvement over the
Rehoboth plan has been made, how
ever, because alleys have been laid out
in the rear of the lots. According to
the demand which has been in the
past it is expected tlat work on fifty
or sixty cottages will be commenced al
once and Lewes will be a rival to Re
hoboth. 1t is easier of access and the
beach is as fine as that of the neigh
boring place.

NOT ON ACCOUNT OF COLOR.

The State can require any reason
able qualification in her voters, such
as the educational test. If one negro
votes because OF his education, not be-
cause of bis color, then another negro
fails to vote for the lack of education,
not on account of his color. He must
have tbs educational qualification in
Massachusetts, to vote. They admit
that it is all right there and that the
lack of education prevents voting.
Here they say under our amendment
that 1t will be the color that prevents
the ignorant negro from voting, al
though he might vote If no had the
same educational qualification as re-
quired in Massachusetts. Here every
one, without any denial, though he be
black as midnight, who has the rec uir-
cd qualifications, will be voter under

ABOUT THE COTTON CROP

The following from tho Atlanta Jour-
nal on the cotton crop is SO full of good
and practical suggestions, we are glad
to give it to our readers:
A study of the prices received by
the South for the cotton crop shows
that the amount received for tho crop
does not depend upon the size of the
crop.
The price per pound has constantly
decreased to meet fhe increased size of
the crop.
The price per pound has constantly
increased to meet the decreased size OF
the crop.
In round numbers $500, OOO, 900 a
year is about what the cotton crop of
tho south brings. If there is differ
ence, the smaller the crop the more
the whole crop brings.
Shall a big crop be planted and raie-
ed without any return whatever to the
farmers for the additional expenditure
OF muscle and money-muscle to raise
it and money to buy the fertilizersY
To this question every intelligent
person will answer no.
The difficulty Is that while all agree
that big crop should not be raised,
the individual farmers do not limit
the size If the crop by planting less
acu age and buying lsss fertili zers.
No greater problem confronts this
section than that Of producing COOP
Grafton among the farmers to lessen
the volume of cotton raised.
With a small cotton crop. bringing q
big price, with wheat, corn, stock, cat
tie and hogs raised by our farmers
We would soon have the money among
our own people to build the factories
necessary to manufacture our cotton
product. It furnishes the cheap cloth
ing for the world.
What a wonderful future would

ness, If such a result could.be aucem.

FOR A PINT OF WHISKEY.

In the last Criminal cour t OF HALIFAX
county there was quite strange pros
ecution under the charge of false pre-
tense. A colored man named Madison
Davis was indicted, tried aud found
guilty of the charge and sentenced by
Judge Battle to four years in the State
prison. The defendant carried thou
sand pounds OF seed cotton to public
gin near Enfield and with pint OF
whiskey hired the packers to make
him heay; bale from the amount OF
seed cotton he carried. He induced
them to place about the center OF the
bale of cotton piece of iron which
weighed Sc pounds. 1t was all packed
and covered in the regular way and a
nice. heavy bale OF cotton rolled out.
Davis sold his cotton and iron together.
1t was shipped to Alex. Sprunt and
Son, OF Wilmington, and when the
bale of cotton was compressed the iron
was discovered.
Mess. Sprunt & Sons cotton COM
press is said to be valued at fifty thous-
ana dollars, ard the iron in the bale
of cotton came near running their great
machinery, besldes e1dangering the
lives Of a large number of laborers
arouni tie works.
The case was reported, the cotton
traced and Madison Davis is now serv-
ing out his term in the State prison
for the crime.
The man who packed the cotton
turned States evidence against Davis.
The affair developed two things: What
amean act one man would commit for
the sake of what he thought would be
a little gain and also what mean
act the other man would commit SIM
ply to crafty his appetite.
Doubtless if Madison Davis had Of
fered his partner in the crime the
money price of pint of whlskey to
place the iron in the cotton he would
have refused; but for the pint oil
whisksy, for which be must have had a
craving, he was willing to do the
desplcable deed which endangered 50
much property and life.
1t was all a most wicked proceeding
and bears out The CoMMoNwEALTH' s
attitude towards the liquor traffic; fol
if there had been no liquor to Use
the packer would not have placed the
iron in the bale OF cotton.
