On the local backgrounds last
Friday afternoon the Aberdeen
club crossed bats with the home
aggregation and an interesting
game, particularly lively during
the last two innings, ended
In victory for southern Pines.
During the last half of the seventh
inning, with the home team in the
field, a foul fly was the cause of a
distressing accident; Newton, third
baseman, and WheeIock, catcher,
both started forthe ball which was
falling just outside the diamond
between home plate and third.
Captain Weber and several
others called the ball for Newton,
but Wheelock, not hearing, kept
running for it also; both men came
together with frightful force, stag
gered from the shock, then sank
down. Newton soon recovered
but Wheelock had to be carried

WITHOUT a SUBSIDY.

FOR several years there has been a
olamor for q large government subsidy
to a company which proposes 10 construct
. trans-Pseihe cable.
The cry has been taken up BY lobbyists
and newspapers which had a substantial
interest In the scheme and who therefore
expatlatsd elOquentIy on the great need
Of this cable and the immense benefits It
uouId confer upon our country.
That such a cable would be very useful
II undoubtedlr true and the plea for a
big government subsidy 10 q company
which should build II was based upon the
positive assertion that without this assist
ance IL would never be constructed.
Mr.. John ". Maekay. part owner OF the
Mackay-Bennstt Atlantic cable. has given
this argument a death-blow by applying
FOR permission TO land the ends Of a cable
At San francisco. Honolulu and Manila.
Mr. Maclkay does not asx one cent from
the government, but agrees to build the
cable as soon as possible II only share
rights Be given 20 him. In return for this
concession he win guarantee precedence
70 government business and the submis-
sion OF the cable TO government control
in time OF war.
Mr.. Msekay has the means to construct
the cable. though IL will cost an I'm
nsense sum Of money. and there can be no
question about the sincerity OF his offer.
he has put the cable subsidy-seekers
out OF business ana saved the government
from great expenditure.
II Is probable. too. that he will con-
struet better cable than would have
been supplied By a company which de-
pended mainly upon a government sub

The assassination Of President MoKin-

Markets NEAR HOME.

Mr.. ID. A. Tompkins. of Charlotte. a sue
eessful cOtton manufacturer and one who
has done much to attract attention to the
great resources and advantages Of the
south. Is convinced that the opportunity
in the West Indies and South America for
cotton mill products is even better than in
China, though at present our share in
their trade is trihing."
Chile, for example, imported cotton
goods 20 the value Of s4z1s.sso last year,
but bought only s21O.oss, or about per
cent. Of them in the United States. Our
proportion Of such exports to Brazil Is
even smaller. being only about as per
cent, or t5.sS7. 2O2 out Of a total OF sl2.O21.-
40. We sen Argentine only l per cent OF
her imported cotton goods. A still more
striking instance Of neglected markets at
our very doors is shown by the West In
dies where our cotton goods trade does
not amount to per cent of the total.
China buys 100000 worth Of cotton
goods year. of which we supply about
one-ffth. There is good reason to believe
the statement Of Mr.. Tompkins that with
proper effort we could extend our trade
much more easily In the West Indies
and South America than in China, though
he does not discount our opportunities
there.

has been referred to frequently as THE
Buffalo platform" A number of leading
Republican newspapers are urging its In
corporation in the next platform OF their
party. But the interests which enjoy spe-
cial benefits under the present tarin are
not only opposed TO any modification OF
it but are organizing to resist any move
ment IN that direction.
The Springfield Republican. speaking of
the speeious pleas for temporary delay
from those who are really striving to pre-
vent tariff revision at any time. says:
Already we are hearing that the time

in; and TO the washington Posts ques-
ton. Why postpone the inevitable?' the
New York Commercial. having reference
also TO President McKinley's parting
counsel. replies: II the matter were to be
precipitated IN congress next December.
the result, would be, in our opinion, that
an acrimonious debate would be stretched
over. the entire session. with no settlement
of the question at the end, but most de-
plorable unsetthng OF business for the
better part OF year Congress is ac-
cordingly urged TO postpone any action on
the tariff question until the party can be
heard from through the platforms and
votes OF the congressional elections next
year.
but II the consideration Of a moderate
revision Of the tariff in the congress about
TO meet would unsettle business, what
must be the effect OF throwing the ques-
ton into heated congressional canvass?
Moreover, IL the congress soon to assem-
bic for its first and long sessions puts the
matter aside. the opportunity for acting
on the counsel Of the lamented president
win not again arise for two years, and
failure meantime 20 act might cause the
loss OF the mouse TO the Republicans next
year.
There Is the platform, however-the
new platform, the Buffalo platform as
Mr.. Hanna says: AID the question now
seems to be whether the party is to accept
IL as creed TO go oy and not simply to
talk about. II is g situation calculated
TO interest the whole country"
In the opinion Of many wise Republicans
Il would be good party policy to make
concessions to the irevitaDle at an early
day, to adopt tie policy advocated by
lIaeaulay in the great English reform
bill debate and open the gates to that
force which win otherwise enter through
the breach
We may expect to see the tariff very
live issue at the next session OF congress
TO say nothing OF the next congressional
campaign.

HAwLEY NOT AT HOME.

II must be that Senator Hawley is
wandering or lingering somewhere. When
he is at home he usually writes the edi-
torials that appear in the Hartford Cou-
rant. Of which he is the principal owner.
Those who know Senator Hswley win
refuse to believe that he is the author
Of an editorial that appeared in the Cou-
rant Of last Tuesday in which these words
appear:
THE slaughter Of the greater part of
company c, Ninth United States infantry,
Will Erieve patriotic Americans and de-
light the anti-imperialists.
This is an utterance so contemplate
that II would disgrace any newspaper
with claims to responsibility. The
Springfield Republican very properly
rakes the Hartford Courant for publish
ing such a libel and exclaims:
LET II for very shame's sake take
back its lying words. Men. who have
questioned both the wisdom and Ameri-
canism of a policy of conquest for the
United states. who believe that the true
glory Of a republic lies In brotherly peace
and helpfulness in advancing self-gov-
erning republieanism everywhere by dis
tinctly piedging this government to such
policy-such men are neither RESPONSE

but deeply saddened by such an event

TIE Journal has frequently called stten-
ton 70 the fact that the extreme esti-
mates OF the shortage OF the corn crop
which have been fndustriousiy circulated
we're IN all probability gross exasgera-
tons.
As the season advances Il becomes more
and more evident that this has been the
case
The corn crop Is undoubtedly away be-
low the average. but the attempts OF the
bulls TO establish a belief that the crop
would be less than a billion bushels. In
stead OF more than two billions. as esti-

and has failed. There sas Deen de-

Kansas City has been the center OF the
corn crop scare and every effort has been
made to keep the prices high In that mar

But the bulls have been unequal to the
task they undertook.

SOUTH CARDINALS PISTOL LAW

The pistol habit has provoked South
Carolina to a very strenuous effort to
suppress it.
A law was enacted at the last session OF
the legislature which provides that after
July 1. 1902, the sale of pistols of ordinary
size shall be prohibited in that state.
All pistols sold. or offered for sale. in
South Carolina after the date named must
be at least 20 inches long and not weigh
less than three pounds.
It would be almost impossible to con-
ceal twenty-inch pistol on the person
and the average man would very soon tire
of Juggling about a three pound weapon.
The weak point of this law is that it
does not forbid the sale of cartridges that
win fit pistols OF ordinary size, and they
will probably continue to be sold in large
quantities.
Besides, the importation Of pistols into
South Carolina cannot be forbidden by a
state law, and they will cOntiue to come
in
The object of the South Carolina pistol
law is commendable,. but it win hardly
prove effective to any appreciable extent.
A much better cure Of the 'pistol-toting'
evil would be for judges and juries to en-
force rightly the law against carrying con-
cealed weapons.
We have in Georgia some judges who
have made striking examples of those
who insist upon walking around With PTS
tolls in their pockets and the heavy pun
ishment of all such persons in every coun-
ty in the state would be a great public
benefit

MEXICAN SASS"

The Mexican Herald no doubt thought
It was very smart when it welcomed the
Pan-American congress with the follow
ing outburst:
1--WE almost blush for shame that we
shall not be able to show the Pan-Amer-
lean delegates a city hall whose. corri-
doris and Hobbies are crowded with tobac-
co-chewing loafers, potent ward leaders,
plundering contractors, brutal plug-uglies
the proper and necessary adjuncts to an
advanced municipal government. Nor has
the city a boss who has behind him po-
litical society blindly obeying his single
will and electing men of scandalous fame
to the board of aldermen. Surely the
Pan-Americans will say that the Cityfof
Mexico is sadly backward Something is
lacking to the city's full political per-
lection"
This shot is clearly aimed at the United
States, and there has been much in the
government of some of our cities the char
acter of the bosses and their understrap-
pers whom the people have permitted to
lord it over them to Justify much of this
satire.
But Mexico is not an ideal dwelling
place or a full-blown pink of civilization.
In its capital the Pan-American delegates
will find many pleasing conditions, much
wealth and refinement. nearly all Of
which is imported. But Mexico City is
not Mexican. To hnd out what that
country is the delegates will have to go
out into the rural regions and the
wretched little hamlets where the aver
age citizen is a striking illustration of
poverty stupidity and laziness. He re-
ceiyes a few cents for a days work, but
poor as Is his pay It Is usually as much
as he is worth.
The Mexican Of the masses rarely as
pires to elevate himself materially, NOR
ally OF intellectually. If he can get
enough to eat and drink Che doesn't care
about his clothes and wears as few of
them as possible); II he is permitted to
snooze in the sunshine a good part Of his
time he is as happy as he ever dreams
Of being.
He is about as tough material TO work
up into a specimen of civilization as
statesman. priest or school teacher or
policeman ever tackled.
The Herald's allusion to municipal
bosses in this country reminds us that
all Mexico has boss of the bossiest sort
and it is a precious good thing that she
has. without such strong hand to d.
rect her affairs Mexico would have gone
to the bow-wows long ago.
President Diaz knows the character or
rather the MEXICAN lack OF character Of
the average Mexican from "a to "ez-
zard' and acts accordingly. He let's him
call himself the free citizen of a free
government, but let's him have just as
much liberty as is good for him and not
whit more. Nor does he consult the
incompetent about the proportions of his
dose. President Diaz has done his best
for Mexico by acting quite as much the
part of dictator as that Of president
representing the popular win. 1t is the
highest tribute that Ne has had any effect
upon such a people. In time either he or.
some worthy successor may. succeed in
elevating the Mexicans considerably. but
It will require a long time.

partment of her big exposition. He will
thus be given an opportunity TO impress
upon the cotton manufacturers of the
south the immensely of their opportuni-
ties in this hemisphere, some Of which lie
almost within sight Of our shores
Bradstreets agrees with the estimate
of these possibilities given by Mr.. Tomp-
'kins, but says that these markets which
are properly ours cannot be won with
out some determined and concerted effort
on the part of our cotton manufacturers"
To bring about such an effort is one of
the main objects Of the Charleston EXPOSE
ton and there is every prospect that it
will accomplish a great deal in that direc-
ton
