o'clock Walter Golf, young white
boy, shot and killed Jack Hunt, col

Young Golf seems to have had previ.
GUS difficulty with Hunt. AT the time
of the killing no one was present, but
Golf says Hunt was striking at him
with a knife. The body Of the dead
negro was found behind the counter
where it had fallen and large butcher
knife was lying under it. Golf gave
himself up and waived examination,
and in default of bail was taken tC

DISTRIBUTED WEALTH.

A citizen of Charlotte told US the
other day that there was not a single
man living in the town who is worth
as much as a half million dollars,
but that the proportion of home
owners and people in moderate cir
cumstances is unusually large. This
makes us think more of Charlotte
than ever, and that is saying a good
deal. We know some towns In the
State that are hindered and held
down by the evershadowing influence
of one or two money kings. They
control the government, draw the
lines in social life, and sometimes
rel invading the sacred precincts
of religion, smile upon one church
and frown upon another. There is
always a~repressive atmosphere about
such a place. You feel it every
where. The people learn to cringe
and even those who are not in the
inner circle speak in an undertone Of
0HO pO"OA "a OAo 5A0dE A1nA S46tLuS
on his throne. It is q pity for any
town TO be SO handicapped. It Is a
poor place to train children. It is
impossible to have healthful and
substantial growth. Give US the
town where wealth is distributed,
where men r tree, ana where
merit wins a place in the confidence
of the community Charity and
Children.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Secretary Parker Will ask that
reduced railroad rates be given all
attending the convention of cotton
farmers to be held in Raleigh, 25th
inst. Let every cotton growing
township be represented.
We hope that every newspaper in
the cotton belt will now show its
friendship for the farmer by exposing
the present attempt to rob him of the
profits he should receive on his cot
ton seed, and by urging all farmers
TO attend the county meetings of
cotton growers September 21st.
If you are interested in the move
ment TO throttle the cotton seed
trust, write Secretary T. B. Parker,
Hillsboro, N. c., for circulars to dis
tribute among your neighbors. Such
campaign work must be done. A
great fight has been begun, and the
farmer who sits idly by is helping
his own enemy by his indifference.
The circulars + free. Spread the
truth.
Nothing-except the New Orleans
dispatch elsewhere mentioned-bet
ten illustrates the arbitrary and
tyrannical methods of monopoly than
this from Chicago: s'The plow
manufacturers of the United State. a
large number of whom have been in
conference at the auditorium during
the last few days, have decided upon
an advance of ten per cent in the
prices Of plows and all plow repairs
during the coming year" Lack of
organization is making the farmers
the prey of all organized industries.

Nothing appears to be more popu-
lar in North Carolina at this time
than rural free delivery of mails.
This is indeed gratifying to us. For
more than a year, practically single
handed and alone, week in and week
out, we urged upon our people the
advantages of this system. In an
essay read before the Press Associa-
ton in July the editor felt it his
duty to complain of this lack of CO.
operation upon the part of the State
press. But at this time certainly
there Ire no grounds for such COM
plant. No movement is now receiv-
ing more attention in our ne Rspapers,
and the indications are that before
the next Press Convention North
Carolina will have it's full share of
raral free delivery routes. It will
be noticed that by that time (next
july Superintendent Machen expects
to have 5000 routes in operation in
the United States, an average of
about 200 to each State. But as
North Carolina s population is larger
than the average, we should have
even more than 200 routes.
And the people are moving in a
manner that causes us to believe
that they are going to have them.

THE ASSAULT ON PRESIDENT MCKINLEY

Our news columns give in full the
story of the horrible crime that is
now the n absorbing topic of con
versation throughout America. Men
of all political and religious creeds
and all social conditions join in
prayer for the recovery of. the coun-
try's Chief Executive. Few of our
statesmen have commanded to such
a degree the confidence and respect
of both friends and opponents.
While millions have believed Mr..
McKinley's policies wrong, all have
ackno wledged him a man of the
~strictest personal integrity and the
highest and gentlest character, en-
deavoring, without malice but with
charity toward all, to do his duty as
he saw it. His death would be in
deed a national calamity.

GOOD A CONGRESS.

Under the auspices of the National
Good Roads Association, a great con-
vention of persons interested in the
Improvement of our highways, to
be known as the international
Good Roads Congress" will be held
at Buffalo next week, September
10Th to 21st. Delegates from North
Carolina have been appointed by
Governor Aycock as follows: S. B.
Alexander, of Charlotte j. Van
Lindley, of Greensboro George D..
Green, of Wilson N. l.. Reed, of
Asheville Z. w. Patton, of Ashe-

In North Carolina the good roads
movement is rot making very rapid
progress, but it is growing steadily,
and we hope that our next Legisla-
ture, unlike that of 1901, will give
serious attention to this problem
and take Il step forward. A very
strong argument for good roads is
contained in a news paragraph just
received from our Washington cor
respondent, which should be of in
terest in this connection
Gin the course of a report of the
Industrial Commission on the dis
tribution Of farm products, it is
pointed out that the average haul of
the American farmer in getting his
produce to market, or TO the near
est shipping station, Is IL miles.
The average cost per ton for hauling
over the common country roads is
% cents per ton per mile, or the So
per ton for a 12-mile haul. Careful
estimates, also, place the total tons
hauled at 9OO,O 900, 900 per year and
the average haul at II miles, making
the total cost of getting the surplus
products of the farm to the local
market or the railroad, 5000, 900, 600.
This figure is greater than the oper-
ating expenses of all the railroads in
the United States, which for the
year ended June, 1898, were only
1915, 600, 900. This cost will be greatly
lessened by improvements in roads"

Nearly every decent paper in tho
country has spoken out in denuncia.
ton of the indecent, immoral and
otherwise disreputable features "a
common at all our great fairs. The
other kind has remained silent. t.
any paper, of any character, black
OF white, or any reputation, good Or
bad, has ever attempted to Justify,
such exhibitions, it has escaped our
notice. 1t is a task that may be at.
tempted, but never done. Recently
the opinions of a large number Of
representative men, connected in
some way with fairs have bean
elected and published. All of them
condemn every such feature of fairs,
as demoralizing and many of them
fagrantly dishonest. It is CUSTOMARY
for fair managers to announce that
their concerns will be clean but
visitors in search of the salacious
can find all they want of it, and
suckers with a few pieces of surplus
small change, can find plenty of
places where they can invest it in a
''sure winner, and pawn a watch or
something for money to buy a ticket
home. Generally the fair managers
profess entire ignorance of the true
character of these exhibitions, but
their professions are entirely too
gauze-like and fimsy. Fairs should
be educators, as they loudly profess
TO be. They are educators but many
of their lessons were far better IN.
taught. Gambling and lascivious.
ness, should have no place in the
curriculum of any fair in a civilized
country. We hope to see an improve
ment in this feature at all our com
ing fall fairs.-Farm and Ranch.
