Hard-earned

That's the name for pretty much
all the dollars that are gotten to-
gether nowadays. Some folks
seem to get them easy, but it's
not easy to find the man who will
own up to it.
However the case may be, IL
money really comes hard, why-in
the name of all that is wise-why
let ii go easy? After the many
weary hours-day in and day out
why he so lavish with the fruits
of toll? Many a man has wasted
a fortune in trifling sums; which,
SAVED, would likely have changed
the whole course of life for him.
What pity! But let such exam
Piles be a lesson to you; be wiser,
form better habits.
There's no habit with the solid
comfort about It, like the habit
OF economy. Save the pennies,
the nickels and the dimes, for they
all make dollars. And how the
dollars provide future comfort!

MATTER OF DUES.


President Huber called yesterday
mornings session to order at O'Clock,
and work was Immediately started on
the continued report of the amend
nents committee. It was suggested
that the present local dues, fifty cents
per month, and the per capita tax of
twenty cents be raised in order to
put the Brotherhood treasury into a
better-filled condition. This amend
ment aroused considerable comment
and the entire morning was spent in
discussion and comment. In the af-
ternoon, the convention passed the
measure, but before 1t goes into effect
it will be subjected to a referendum
vote of the local unions all over the
country.
Another amendment offered by the
committee was the following, relating
to the payment of salary to the
general president:
Sec. 30 (O. The general secretary shall receive
such compensation as shall be determined by the
convention, and shall employ his own clerical
assistance at reasonable salary, payable from the
general fund.- and he shall give bond to the gen
eral executive board TO the amount of -
for the faithful performance Of his duties
New secton
Sec. 30 (b). 0Ie shall issue to the local
unions, that subscribe for same, our official jour
nal, "The Carpenter" at a subscription price
OF % cents per year, per member).
Note: In relation to this latter section and
other matters, the following is submitted from
Union No. AIS, of New York city:
august 25th, 1900. To the eleventh general
convention Of the L. b. Greeting: We recon-
| mend to your honorable body that the necessity

dent be a salaried officer leaving it to the con

| to pay these officers that this organization
| may be run on a good sound business basis, We
| beg leave TO suggest that our official journc
| 'The Carpenter be sold to the local unions al
nominal sum. say 2j cents per year. On

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 21.-Ten-
nessee was swept last night by the
most destructive storm ever known
in the State. More than fifty per
sons were killed and a hundred more
injured. while the damage to houses,
timber and other property will
reach large figures.
The storm entered the State from
Northern Mississippi and swept
across in a northeasterly direction.
Great damage is reported from the
counties bordering on Mississippi and
further on. Columbia, in Mauray
county, is the heaviest sufferer.
Lavergne, Nolansville and Gallatin
also felt the winds, the storm finally
losing it's force against the Cumber-
land mountain range.

Populist Senator Pettigrew, of
South Dakota, says: IT predict the
formation of a new party, based on
the protests Of the outraged people
against Republicanism, as taught by
Mark Hanna. What it will be called
is of little moment. Tt may be Social
Labor or it may be the New De-
mocracy.' It will be made up Of
persons discontented with the ele-
ments in politics, as a protest against
the existing conditions and the pres
ent tendency. The movement will
grow rapidly, and I believe will de-
feat the Republican party in 1904.
The Mark Hanna Republicanism
menaces the republic. The concen
tration of wealth will create an in
fuence soon to restrict the right of
suffrage, until capitalists will say no
n is fit to take part in the govern
ment who does not know enough to
make money. At first the limits
will include a small majority and
then the amount will be raised until
there is nominally a simon-pure illit-
eracy. The election does not stand
as an Endorsement of all the admin
istration stands for. The cry of
prosperity and the racial trait were
more apparent now than yer before,
Of getting all we can and keeping all
we get. No Anglo-Saxon nation ever
voted against the party in power
while involved in war. I thought it
would be different this time, because
of more general dissemination of
knowledge. There will likely occur
a enforcement of the Democratic
and Populist parties, but the new
party will be the popular one. I
can't now say whether Mr.. Bryan
will affiliate with it or not"

SOUTHERN SUFFRAGE Laws.
Republicans viii Not Interfere With Negro
Disfranohisement.

H
WASHINGTON Nov. 24.-The opin-
ion is growing among public men
who are in the confidence of the
President that he will oppose n
movement looking to IA reduction of
the Congressional representation of
the Southern Ssates on account of
charges of the Acknowledgement of
colored voters. The President is
said to be opposed to reviving i'll
feelings, which he thinks would be
the result of a bill thus touching
the South's suffrage. He has been
told from many sources recently
that an important element of South
ern business men, manufacturers
and others, is at heart with the Re-
publicans and that the nucleus of
a future revolution against existing
political methods in the South
has been securely established and
should not be dissipated by legisla-
ton that would be regarded by the
South as sectional.
On account of the Presidents at
titude there is a growing opinion
that legislation looking to the reduc-
ton of the Southern representation
will not be pressed by party leaders
in Congress. In this connection it
is suggested that any action taken
with reference to the suffrage of the
South in advance of the adoption of
a definite policy in the Philippines
might throw some embarrassment
in the way of the proper disposition
of the citizenship rights of the Fill
pinos, and moreover, it is felt that
the Government has as much as it
can deal with now without getting
into a contention over domestic
affairs.

NELL's COTTON


NEW York, Nov. ga circular
letter given out by Mr.. H. M. Neill
gives his final estimate of the cot
ton crop of 1~9OO-19O1, and places the
maximum at $3.50, 900 bales, but ex-
presses the opinion that the total
growth will be even less. Comparing
this production with Mr.. Ellison's
latest estimate of consumption, Mr..
NELL finds that at the end of the
coming season, September 1, 1901,
the worlds total supply will be $780,
900 bales less than last September,
when the supply was the smallest
on record.

the place was coveted by several
prominent Populists and Republi-
cans. The new Attorney General is
only Is years of age, and is a son of
Associate Justice Douglas, a grand
son of the late Judge Robert P. Dick
and of the famous Stephen A. Doug
las, of Illinois. His father was Presi-
dent Grants private secretary.
1t was announced today upon I'M
questionable authority that on Jan
uary list Governor Russell will re-
turn to Wilmington and resume the
practice of law. He has already
formed a co-partnership with John
Il. Gore, Jr Esq, and the same will
be effective after the date indicated.
Mr.. Gore, although a young man,
is in the front rank of lawyers in
this section of the State and already
commands a large and growing prac-
tice. The style of the new firm will
be Russell & Gore, with oficesi in the
Allen building, on Princess street.
The firm will be one of the strongest
in the State, and it is limited, how
ever, not upon so good an authority,

Haw River dispatch: The Ala
nance cotton mill strike is practically
over. For several days the strikers
have been gradually returning to
work, and the mill owners anticipate
that in a short time their mills will
be filed to the full capacity. The
operatives have been very deter
mined, but lack of funds and leader
ship has made their fight useless.
The mill owners have not yielded
from their original determination
and their victory will be complete.
About n hundred Union operatives
have left here and found employ
ment elsewhere, and quite a number
that remain are making every effort
to find employment at other mills,
but r. meeting with little success.
Most of the mills in this State have
closed their doors to Union labor,
and very few of the operatives have
any money to seek employment any
great distance from here, or to live
upon for any length of time. The
mill owner have served legal no
tees on about twenty-five families
to vacate their houses. Those who
could do so have vacated and left,
while others have gone back to work.
The Union operatives have Sc
ceived very little outside aid and
have given up hope of receiving any
more. This has brought operatives
to fully realize their helplessness and,
as your correspondent previously
predicted, as they realize this they
go to work.

WHAT THE FIGURES SHOW.

A study of the vote cast for Bryan
and Mckinley in the November cleo
ton is interesting.
The official canvass of the vote,
completed yesterday morning, shows
Bryan's majority in North Carolina
| to be p, 739, or Sab in excess of
what it was in 1895. Bryan received
in the State this year 157, 1876 as
against ia, 486 four years ago, while
McKinley's vote this year was 1872
997 as against 155, 222. In other
words Bryan's vote this year is 49,
752 less than the Bryan vote of 1896
and %, GA less than Aycock's vote
in August. McKinley's vote this
year showed a falling off of 1925 as
compared with that cast for him
four years ago, or G,701 more than
was received by Adams in the Au-
gust election.
The following fourteen counties
went Democratic in the State cleo
ton but were transferred to the Re
publican column in the National
election: Alamance, Baden, Bun
combe, Chowan, Cumberland, David
son, Forsyth, Graham, Lincoln,
Moore, Orange, Pamlico, Pasquotank
and Perquimans.
Clay is the only county that was
transferred from the Republican col
umn in the State election to the
Democratic column in the National
election. Clay's Republican major
ity in August was 30 and its Demo
cratic majority in November was
ia change of 40 votes.
Gains over their majorities in Au-
gust were made by onlyfour Demo
cratic counties, as follows:
Wilson, 1,486 majority in August,
1922 in November gain Of 1876
votes.
Iredell, AGO majority in August,
479 in November-a gain of 10 votes.
Cabarrus, 355 majority in August,
373 in November-a gain of Is votes.
Hyde, sc majority in August, SO in
November-a gain of 8 votes.
Republican majorities were re-
duced slightly in three counties !:
Madison, Mitchell and Stokes. The
other Republican counties showed
