THE SOUTH DAKOTA CASE.

There can be little doubt that the Uni
ted States Supreme Court will dismiss
the South Dakota case as an attempted
fraud on the Jurisdiction. But if it does
not, this much is clear: that the judg-
ment can only affect the few bonds held
by that State. The court can give no
judgment whatever against this State in
favor of the other holders of the bonds,
for by virtue of the Eleventh Amend
ment the court has no power to render
a judgment against State in favor of
any one except another State. If it is
attempted to make the other holders OF
bonds parties, as in a creditors bill, that
would at once GUST the jurisdiction, if 1t
existed before.
We learn that Wheeler H. Peckham, OF
New York, who singularly enough appears
for South Dakota, is headquarters coun-
sci for Pierpont Morgan, the chief owner
of the Southern Railway The whole plan
bears the ear marks of ~cold bluff

RICHMOND DISPATCH SOLD.
The Scope to be Broadened But Without Change
in It's Policies
(By the Associated Press. }

Richmond, Va, Nov. 25.-The entire
capital of the Dispatch Company, pub
fishers of the Richmond Dispatch, was
today sold to Leland Rankin and asso-
ciatos. The company was at once re-
iorgandzed By the election of Leland
Rankin w. ID. Chesterman and G. Wat

GraSty of the Baltimore News, and

longed equally to the Cowardin and Ely

remarkable extent. Mr.. Rankin, the
new publisher, was five years manger OF
the Nashville American, and during the
past year has been manager of the Dis

In his announcement, which will ap-

THE TRUTH PLAINLY PUT.

The New York Journal is publishing
long winded opinions from all sorts of
folks on the race question. Some of the
articles are good, more are Indifferent,
and more still are bosh. The negro
question is the only question that every
Northern man thinks he can solve until
he comes South. And then he becomes
a pessimist. 1t is the most difficult ques-
ton of solution with which any people
have grappled. The Columbia State, af-
ter reviewing some Of the contributions
in the Journals articles, sums up the
whole matter in these few sentences:
THE salvation of race must be &C
complished in the home. The mother is
the maker of the home. She sets it's
standards Of morality, of righteousness
and of religion, and above that standard
the race will not rise. Then to elevate
the race it's mothers must be elevated. If
the negro race is to be educated, the work
must begin with the negro woman. II
the negro race is to be mOraliZed, the
negro woman must be made moral. If
the negro race is to be made religious.
the negro woman must be converted to
a sincere, correct understanding of Chris
tianity.
That this is theoretically correct none
will deny. But that the task is easy
then there is no hope for the negro"

The Manufacturers Record.

Inc Manufacturers RECORD.
In retiring from the presidency of the
Chamber of Commerce of Raleigh, N.
c., where he has rendered efficient SER
vice for his city and his portion of
North Carolina, Mr.. Josephus Daniels
made an address in which, giving recog-
milton to what Raleigh has accomplished
in many lines, he contended that the
duty of the hour was to consider the
things to be done, that Raleigh may
measure up to it's opportunities and its
responsibilities AS indicating the pOst
sibilities of the city. Mr.. Daniels said y
Raleigh needs more people Of brains,
muscle, money, skill. 1t needs more in
dustries to give employment to labor. 1t
needs wholesale houses to make this
city distributing point. 1t needs a
modern hotel with all the modern con-
veniences to cater to the ever-increaSing
army of northern people who spend their
winters in the south. 1t needs to buy
all the cotton of the farmers of the adj
jacent country, and thereby secure the
country trade that naturally belongs to
it. 1t needs to establish tobacco mar
ket, to erect stemmeries, priZehouses,
factories, and to put an end to forcing
Wake county farmers to carry their to-
bacco to smaller towns in adjoining
counties whereby those towns reap the
large trade that legitimately belongs to
Raleigh. 1t needs good roads leading in
. every section of the country that will
draw to Raleigh. 1t needs canneries to
make trucking and gardening more prof
liable. 1t needs a railroad to reach the
eastern section of the county. 1t needs
a new theater with suitable stage and
curtains and modern facilities for pre-
senting the best plays. 1t needs an audi
toriurl that will seat 5000 people. There
are other needs, but these are most
pressing, and are vital to the fuller and
completer growth of the city, and neces-
sary, if Raleigh is to attain the position
of primacy which it's position gives it
the opportunity to reach"
No one who has followed the career of
! Mr.. Daniels can accuse him of being a
pessimist, or of not being vitality con-
cerned and actively striving for every
thing that will make for the growth and
prosperity of his city. 1t is pleasant,
to be sure, to sum up the accomplishz
ments but it is better to add to these.

~. Charge january /.

Especial to News and Observer
Winston Salem, n. c., Nov. 25.--It is
authoritatively announced today that not
withstanding the denial by the Seaboard
Air Line that it had purchased the Vir-
ginia and Southwestern Railroad from
Big Stone Gap to Mountain iCty, one OF
the agents has been notified that the
Seaboard would take charge January 1st.
1t has been understood for some time
by railroad people that the chances are
good fer the building of the Trans-Ap-
palachain Railway from Shelby via Nor
canton to Mountain City and it has been
suspected all the time that this is a
scheme of the Seaboard Air Line to reach
the coal fields. The surveying corps is
now making the permanent location OF
the line and preparing specifications TO
let the contracts.

HISTORY OF AN HONEST
JOURNAL.

The Industrial Edition of the Elizabeth
chock full of interesting matter and illus
trations that tell of progress, is val
liable publication and should be widely
circulated. 1t is fitting celebration of
the Economists passing it's thirtieth mile
stone. No paper in the State has been
truer to principle or stood more unflnch-
ingly for the right. It's venerable editor
enjoys the confidence and esteem of the
whole State and the affection of his breth-
fight North Cardinals battle for civic
righteousness!
The Economist is an institution in
North Carolina It was born in patriotic
resolve to secure good government and
its history is a part of the best history
of North Carolina. Col. Creecy gives this
interesting account of the birth of the
Economist, which, we think, has never
before been printed:
nC LCOuOlulSI was Jill III thS VII oSo
of civil revolution. It's inspiration was
patriotic love of the Albemarle section
of the State of North Carolina, preser-
walton of our manhood and our self-re-
spect, a protest against amalgamation
and the degradation of the white race
and it's reduction to an equality with the
slaves, just given the rights of citi-
zership against the rule of the carpet
baggers who were then threatening the
overthrow of white supremacy. It's es-
tablishment meant fight-fght with the
carpet baggers and their allies of low
white and credulous, ignorant negroes.
''Its founders were David M. Carter,
of Hyde county; Edward Wood. Of Hayes,
near Edenton; Col. William F. Martin,
of Elizabeth City; Thomas j. Jarvis, OF
Tyrrell county; Monroe Whedbee, of Eliz-
abeth City; DR.. r. X. Speed, of Eliza
beth City; c w. Hollowell, of Bay
View, Pasquotank county; James p.
Whedbee, of Elizabeth City, and some
others that we do not now recall.
''Its founders were all true men, of
highest character, and many of them
were Of large wealth before the DESC
lating civil strife and had enough left
to do something for their homes in their
funeral weeds. Thomas j. Jarvis, of
Tyrrell county, then young man in the
first promise of his future distinction,
was sponsor of the new Democratic paper
and gave it its name.
lone obstacle stopped their progress
the procurement of a suitable editor.
They deliberated for some days upon
the subject Finally, they concluded to
send Thomas Garner, the foreman of the
office, to the country to ask Mr.. Creecy
to meet them in town on the following
Thursday morning. We met Colonel Mar
tin, DR.. Speed and Mr.. ]. M. Whedbee in
Colonel Martins office
For thirty years since then, day af-
ter day, through sunshine and shadow,
through all the vicissitudes of it's vary
ing fortunes, we have sat on it's tripod
and during that large space of human
life, we think we can truthfully say the
Economist has never turned its back on
friend or foe. 1t has had its bitter fights,
fights political personal and polemical,
fights for the town, for our section and
our friends. We have never been shot,
and never but once looked down the bar
rel of pistol in the hands OF an enemy,
and we vet live"

A WORTHY EXAMLE.

The manner in which the late Mrs
Haden, OF Salisbury. perpetuated her
generosity to her church is worthy of
emulation by other Christians who have
the means While living, Mrs. Haden
was the largest contributor to the First
Methodist church in Salisbury. In her
will she provided that her annual con-
tribution for fifteen years should equal
her annual contributions for support If
the stewards of the church should de-
eide to use only the interest from the
fund, re-investing the principal, the
name and memory and beneficence of this
good woman will be perpetuated for all

the true interests of Southern education.
To that end the sum of forty thousand
dollars year for two years has been
