EDITORIAL NOTES.

Examine the date on your label.
This is the last month of the year
and of the century, and we wish to
clear off all old accounts before the
New Year. If you owe US, we mus
insist upon a partial payment or the
reason why at once. This is bust
ness
We hope that our Wake brethren
will do all in their power to make
Bro. Parker's visit to this county ii
success. Wake cannot afford to lag
so far behind her sisters. 1t may
not be out of place to Say just here
that the Mecklenburg farmers heard
Bro. Parker gladly and it is expected
that the january meeting will show
moro than 800 per cent. increase in
the number of Mecklenburg Alliance
men since the July meeting. Bro.
Parker also re-Organized Subs. in
Washington and CabarruS counties.
The Fourth District has three rep
reSeutatives upon the State Board of
Agriculture, the farmers depart
ment of the State Government, one
of these representatives being Il city
lawyer. another a city editor, and
the third q city business man"
They are doubtless very good men
in their respective lines, but we have
not been able to learn just why they
are better fitted to serve on the
Board than any of the practical
farmers of this district. or others in
close touch with agricultural inter
estS.
In honor of the two great religious
bodies they represent. the Biblical
Recorder, Raleigh Christian AdvO-
cate, and North Carolina Baptist
came out in special editions last
week, tastcfully illustrated and run
ming over with good reading matter
Editor johnson, of Charity and Chill
dren, issued a special edition of his
paper THANKSGIVING week, but mod
eSty led him to surrender his editorial
space to writer's who may have been
as able but had not 50 thoroughly
mastered the art of boiling down.
as he To our way of thinking,
there have been many issues Of
Charity and Children this year fully
as attractive as the Thanksgiving
number.

METHODIST CONFERENCE.

The six~ty-fourth session of the
North Carolina Methodist Conference
was held in Newbern last week,
Bishop Morrison presiding. One of
the first acts Of the Conference was
the passage of a resolution express
ing unabated confidence in Messrs.
Kilgo, Duke, and Odell, the losing
parties in the great Gattis Kilgo
case. The character Of Mr., Gattis
was also passed, as was that of DR..
Kilgo. A splendid collection to aid
in rebuilding Methodist churches de-
strOyed in Galveston was taken
Thursday. On Friday, a ringing
resolution was passed urging the
Legislature to establish a Reforma
tory for youthful criminals.
The question of Sabbath observance
n up Saturday in the shape Of q
strong resolution condemning Sun
day papers, Sunday travel, etc. The
Methodists are proud of their Orphan
age one large building is now ready.
Both sexes will be received. DR..
Lvey was reelected editor of the
Raleigh Advocate.
Altogether, the Conference held a
quite successful session. Bishop
Morrison said he had never presided
over a Conference o orderly OF
we'll behaved. The next session will
be held in Fayetteville.

FOR A FAIR ELECTION Law.

We are glad to see that editors
Pearson, of the Morganton Herald
London, of the Chatham Record
Caldwell, of the Charlotte Observer,
and Common, of the Roanoke howan
Times, are demanding a better cleo
ton law. The present n is, as the
Charlotte Observer says, unjust
and unfair and ought to be repealed.
A fair and honest election law is
truly one of the things most sorely
needed in North Carolina, and the
good people of the State ought to
unite in demanding the Legislature
ture to put such n on u statute
books. And it ought to be a good
deal fairer than any law we have
had Since the Civil War. Even the
combination of parties that went into
power with honest elections as it's
battle cry, gave US a law that gave
that combination two registrars and
two poll-hOlders for each n allowed
the oppositiOn-a thing manifestly
unjust. Editor London is exactly
right in the statement that Il law
even fairer than that is needed, and
that a Just law 'wOuld not only be
generally approved, but would create
a kindlier feeling between fair
minded men of all parties"
And just here it may be we'll to
say that the people generally, and
especially the next Legislature, ought
to labor earnestly to develop this
''friendlier feeling" between men Of
different parties. Let us hope that
we are now closing the era of par
tisan hatred and narrowness that for
years has cursed the Old North State
and that the new century will usher
in another era of good feeling. A
contamination is this devOutly to be
wished and we know of no better
way to begin it than for our Legis-
lature which is to meet with the sun
rise of the twentieth century, the
beginning of a mighty hundred years,
to Ass an election law fair, just,
honest.
Ring out a slOwIy-dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife,
Ring in the nObler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws"

IN SESSION.

The short session of Congress be-
gan last Monday. The ship subsidy
bill, one Of the most bare-faced pieces
of footing in Congressional history,
bObbed up early and the Indications
are that it will soon become a law,
though the disclosure that the bulk

some of the former friends of the
bill.
The first of the bills introduced
in the House OF Representatives was
by Representative Crumpacker, of
Indiana, making an apportionment
of Representatives in Congress I'M
der the Eleventh Census" It pro-
.vides an increase of membership
from 357 to 365. The following States
