TO BUY THE N. C. R R.

We have known for some weeks that
officials of the Southern Railway, through
their attorneys and others, were figuring
on taking advantage of the States need
of money and buying the States inter-
est reversio3 or equity of redemption,
in the North Carolina railroad and
was ready to pay one million dollars
for it. 1t was known that some of the
private stockholders would oppose the
sale on the ground that the purchaser
wished to buy and reorganize the road.
In former reorganizations, the minority
stockholders have not received much con-
sideration.
The plan was to pay the State one mil
lion dollars and to pay the Indebtedness
of 50, 100 900 for the States stock the par
value of which is $3,OOO,OOO, the market
value of which is 81 ,60O,G coo.
The State will not soon sell stock worth
four and half million dollars for less
than four million dollars, even if there
is a deficit in the State Treasury.

CRUELTY TO MOTORMEN.

against cruelty TO animals. Representa-

On Wednesday night, in the cold rain, the
motormen were soaked to their skin at
their post Of duty. and last night, in the
biting cold they were chilled to the
bone while performing the service re-
quired. No State that enacts law
against cruelty to animals ought to long

IT FULFlLS THE PLEDGE.

The bill introduced by Senator Travis
to appropriate 100000 TO public schools.
to be distributed to the counties in such
a way as to insure a four months school
ought to become a law by a unanimous
vote in both the Senate and the House.
The State Constitution and the State
Democratic platform-the two instruments
that are binding on the majority of this
General ssembly-guarantee four
months school in every district in ths
State. There is no way of carrying out
this party pledge except by some such
plan as that contained in the bill intro
duced by Senator Travis.
To fail to pass that bill. or a bill with
provisions that will carry out the object,
will be to repudiate the most sacred
party pledge, as we'll as to continue in
fragrant violation of the most bind
ing constitutional requirement. All par
ties have, by reason of conflicting consti-
tutional provisions, lived in violation of
the constitutional requirement for a four
months school. But last April, for the
first time. the Democratic party made
specific pledge of ''at least a four months
school in every school district and that
pledge must be kept no matter if
dozen other good things are required to
wait another session of the Legislature

OUTSIDE CAPITAL IN MILLS.

Now that the Inauguration is over and
the State is assured of four more years
of peace and prosperity, the business men
of Raleigh should turn their attention
to those things which are of vital impor-
lance for the welfare of our city. When
ten years roll by again it will be very
humiliating TO our citizens should we find
that our population has not increased
in proportion to other Southern cities.
This will be particularly noticeable
when it is remembered that the means
for bringing about healthy growth is
at our hands. To get proof of this we
have but to call TO mind some of the
towns and cities throughout the South,
and especially in North Carolina where
the growth has been phenomenal.
In nearly every case we can justly at
tribute this growth to the cotton man
ufacturing industry And this being TIN
case we can scarcely give a fair excuse
for not having a proportional share of
the industry; for Raleigh has far better
facilities than many OF the towns which
have done so we'll with their numerous
cotton mills.
The natural conclusion is that We have
not given proper attention TO this indus
try which is the great opportunity f1r
the South's redemption.
Ii we give sufficient encouragement to
outside capital it will be an easy matter
ito build more cotton mills. for the fact
that outside capital has applied TO Ra
leigh is an admission within itself that

THE A. AND N. C. ROAD.

The report Of the Board of Internal Im

showing the steady increase in the in
come of the Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad. The present administration has
been in charge of the road something over
fourteen months. During that time
it has expended $130,419 for
permanent Improvement which has
all come out of the net earnings of
the road except $9S, 631.S7 which will be
paid the first of April. A comparative
statement of the five months of July
August. September, October and Novem
Der of the years 1898, 1899 and 1900, shows
that the earnings have largely increas-
ed. During these months in 1898 the earn
ings were4 $50 ,392.51; in 1899, they
amounted to $1S6, SS661; in 1900 they

IT rs A MISTAKE.

II is a matter of regret that at the
meeting of the cotton mill owners in
Greensboro this week the committee to
draw up paper expressing the senti-
me nj of the meeting, decided to request
the Legislature not to pass any labor
laws at this session Of the Legislature.
Here is the report of the committee
which was adopted:
We. the undersigned cotton mill own
ers and managers agree TO the following,
taking effect March LIST, 1901:
"u.) That one weeks work shall not
exceed 66 hours.
.(2) That no child less than Il years
old shall work in cotton mill during
the term of an available public school.
Provided this shall not apply to chill
dren of widows or physically disabled
parents. Provided further that 10 years
shall be the lowest limit at which chill
dren may be worked under any circum-
stances.
''(3) That we will cooperate with any
feasible plan TO promote the education
of the working people in the State and
will cheerfully submit to our part of the
of general education.
.i4) On the basis of the above agree
ments of the cotton mill owners and
managers we hereby petition the legisla-
tire not to pass any labor laws at this
session of the Legislature"
This agreement, if all the mills would
sign it and live up TO it all the time,
would be a substantial improvement upon
the twelve hour system in vogue in some
mills and sthe too general employment
of children. but experience has shown
that -itiis nor possible by private agree
mont to get every mill to observe the
same regulations. Many mill owners now
oppose working children in mills, but they
cannot resist it because they viii lose
some of their best labor if they refuse
posed to the employment of children in
the cotton mills said a mill president
a few days ago, "but ! am forced to do
IT. | have man and his wife, who are
capable workers. They will leave me and
go. 10 another mill that viii employ their
children if / refuse to employ their
chidren. ] canot afford to lose their
labor and SO, against my WILL children
are employed in my mill. 1t cannot &c
fully stopped unless prevented by law"
Commenting on the action of the mill
men the Greensboro Telegram truly says
The material manifestation of friend
ship of some of the mill owners of the
State for their help has been conspicuous.
AT The same time we doubt the wisdom
of their action in asking that the Leg
islature refrain from taking action upon
this matter aside from the question of
granting the request. The object of stat
utes is not to- restrain law abiding men,
bit law breakers. No doubt all the man
ufacturers here yesterday are living UP
TO the resolution already, and therefore
need 10 law. but they cannot presume
10 speak for the other half not repre-
scntod, among them for aught anyone
knows. there may be some requiring the
restraining influence of a statute"
