is the son of the late Rev. Charles A.

years ago. The son Is a personally
clever, social and popular. His ever

We were surprised to see it mention
ed by the Washington correspondent of
the Atlanta Journal that Hon. Edward
w. Pou, representing the fourth North
Carolina district in the federal house,
was a native Of Alabama and born in
1863. We had supposed he vas "a Tar
Heel of the original pattern. His faith
er moved into North Carolina after the
war, and settled at Smithield. Johnston
county. He was educated at the Uni
versity of North Carolina. The cor
respondent gives an interesting sketch
showing his activity as a politician
since 1886. when he became chairman
Of the democratic county committee.
We copy as it shows his political ca
reer fully until elected to the congress
last year:
I'm 1888 he was the presidential cleo
tor for his district, and was also made
messenger to carry the electoral vote
of the state. In 1890 he was nominated
for solicitor of the fourth district, and
defeated Hon. Thomas NJ. Argo, the re-
publican incumbent, by nearly 5000
majority. Four year later he was re-
nominated by reclamation and defeat
ed Hon. Thomas NJ. Purnell, who is
now United States judge for the east
ern district of North Carolina.
Mr.. Pou was first a candidate for IN
gress in 1896. when he was the choice
of those democrats who opposed fusing
with the populist organization as 1t
then existed in the state. He was,
however, defeated by Hon. William F.
Stroud, the fusion candidate. In 1898
he vas again nominated for solicitor
by reclamation and defeated Oliver H.
Dockery, Jr., the republican opponent,
by $500 majority"

county commissioners with petitions
from every township in the county
against h sale Of intoxicating liquors.
The odds were so much in favor Of the

There has been a growing sentiment
in this county for some time against
the sale of liquor and in a very short

the legislature to abolish the distiller-

CONCERNING 4 GREAT STATES
INTEREST AND RESOURCES

The Messenger more than once has
referred to the very remarkable pro-
gress made by High Point in the null
tiplying of the plants for wood work
Its progress, and the large size to which
this important and remunerative in
dustry has attained has attracted at
tention beyond this state. n 1t is
quite reasonable IA it should do so.
We gave some little while since the
statistics of the growth. but have not
them at hand for reproduction here.
The example is inspiring. and it should
be initiated in all North Carolina towns.
May it Sc seen to flourish every where
from Elizabeth City TO SAPPHIRE.
The Messenger man times has point
ed to what the little slate of Connec-
Sicut has done in the great multiplying
of the smaller industries. That state
has been made rich and prosperous, not
by great plants, large special invest
ments, but by turning a hand to all
sorts of industries. 1t Is a great mis-
take to think that it is either sensible
Or practical to sell a tree of hard and
fine wood for a few dollars. and then
buy it back in furniture at an dyant
age to the northern purchaser perhaps
of hundreds of dollars That state is
prosperous, safe, wise n permanent
that raises all it n manu-
features within itself. all it needs for
carriages, buggfes, wagons, machinery,
to ploughs, spokes and aXe-handles.
Keep your money at home. One reason
New England IS so rich is because it
has manufactured for the south and
taken all of its surplus cash. The south
will never be independent until it ceases
to neglect to learn now TO protect it
self. With great advantages it has
Jagged way behind the middle and
New England states that have got all
its money and without thanks or graf
itude.
The multiplying of the various profit
able industries and an active n Jul
dicious diversifying of crops are much
needed in this state to make it all it
should be in production. Unquestton-
ably it has great natural resources,
and it has still an immense area Of
virgin forests.
We hope for brighter days for the
south for it has picked up much with
in a decade, and is wisely progressive
now. 1t can broaden it's vision and
widen its ways with profit. 1t has done
already many things that have attract
ed decided attention in the north. and
it has also drawn to it some of the sur
plus capital in that rich section. In
cotton manufacturing there has been a
great leap. In woolens there is also
commendable developments. In other
thing there are pleasing and attractive
signs. But a vast deal remains yet to
be done. The mines. the fisheries, etc.,
must be looked after and more rapidly
developed. The multiplying of the va
rious smaller industries must be press
ed with uncommon vlgor If all Is
done that can be done wisely, safeiy,
in the next decade there will be a splen-
did progress to rejoice over by those
who shall have participated in the
movement. But in all possible advance

ton to languish or the great moral
