NO MEETING HELD.

There were number of tobacco grow
ers in the city yesterday, who came here
to attend the meeting of the State To-
bacco Growers Association. They had not
seen the notice of President Cunningham
postroning the meeting.
There is need for an early meeting
of the tobacco growers of the State. The
crop of this year is very short and the
trust has been paying price high enough
to bait the farmers to raise big crop
next year so they can buy it at song.
They had run the price down to such
figure that many had let their barns go
down and abandon the cultivation of the
weed The trust saw that it must do
something to encourage production. After
reducing the price to starvation rates,
they pay more per pound on this very
small crop. in the hope of inducing the
farmer to plant largely increased acre
age next year. If the farmers are wise
they will do nothing Of the sort.

THREATS WILL NOT WORK.

And now the Republican papers Of the
North make the threat that II the South
ern Democrats resent Roosevelt's advoca-
cy OF social equality, the Republican Con-
gress will cut down Southern representa-
ton in the House and in the Electoral
College.
II the South must accept social equali-
ty or exclusion from the national coun-
ellis, it will not hesitate a moment at
accepting no voice in national affairs. 1t
prefers to preserve it's civilization rather
than to sit at the table with men who
think that the strict line of social separa-
tion ought to be blotted out
After the war the threat was made that
unless the South accepted government by
negroes and carpet baggers, some terrible
thing would happen. Some men OF posi-
ton and character advised acquiescence
in that government, hoping that it would
be better than the character Of the men
in power would indicate. But the true
would acuuiesce in such unfit rule and
that they would fight it to the death.
They did fight and they won the victory,
driving most of those carpet bagging
thieves back to their. homes or into the
penitentiary.
Another issue is presented: Will the
South, by reason of threats, acquiesce in
the social equality proclaimed and prac-
ticed, or will it, through persecution il
need be, stand true to the tradition and
principle that there can be no federation
of social equality-that the line of de-
narration must be drawn and kept drawn
rigidly-it must be chasm so deep that
it cannot be spanned.
The men who advocated acquiescence
in 1868 found that their advice. if taken,
would have degraded the South. The
men now who support an administration
that wipes out the color line at the din
ing room is the worst enemy to Southern
civilization.

THERE ARE NONE.

Senator Foraker, referring to the
Booker Washington matter, says he has
not heard of any of the Southern Demo-
Gratis who hold office resigning because OF
the incident. In these diggins nobody
has heard of any Southern Democrats
holding Federal office. The few who cali
themselves Democrats had either quit
the Democratic party before they were
appointed or have betrayed it since ap-
pointment and sneezed every time the
President took snuff. Without exception
every man appointed to office in the
South by Mckinley has jined the Radicals
or has advocated Radical doctrine, and
are Democrats for publication only.
Those who have any mind to return to
the party and have done with the negro
social equality party, will now resign the
positions and stand for Southern civili-
cation.

THE STATE FAIR.

The whole State was not here yesterday
but it looked like it at the Fair grounds
between the hours of IL and o'clock
The grounds were covered with people
and they were all happy and having a
good time. Raleigh was so full last night
that the hotels and boarding houses could
not begin to accommodate all who de-
sired quarters, and many were forced t.
return home for the night and come back
again.
Today will be record breaker, so it is
predicted in point of attendance and Fri
day will be notable day-the biggest
Friday in the Fairs history. The attrac.
tiors on that day are as numerous as
on any day of the week, with additional
features and big attendance is ex.
pected.

Will Encourage Aspirations for Social
Equality.

(Gov. insolvency, of South Carolina)
Il do not pretend to say that Presi-
dent Roosevelt did not have perfect
right to invite Booker t. Washington
to sit at his family table, as l under
stand he did, but here in the south
where we have to deal with the negro
race such a thing would have promptly
brought down the indignation of the
best citizen and would not be tolerated.
Aside from the temporary talk that
the incident will provoke / am afraid
it will make the negro population get
the notion more strongly in their heads
that they are entitled to more social re-
cognition.
The question after all is whether those
whom we invite to our family tables to
dine are not good enough to marry our
sisters and daughters and l doubt If
President Roosevelt would be willing to
say that he would allow his daughter to
marry a son of Booker T. Washington,
if he had one.

NO ACCOUNTING FAR TASTES

NO ACCOUNTING FAR TASTES.
Columbia State.
There was no reason in the world why
the President of the United States
should entertain Booker Washington at
dinner in the White House unless the
President extended the invitation to
Washington as personal friend. There
is no accounting for tastes, as the old
lady said when she kissed the COW. Ii
Theodore Roosevelt selects negro for
his social equal and associate, why, who
is there to say him nay? He las the
right to sit down and dine with as many
negroes as he may choose and as often
but every one else has an equal right to
think his taste bad. The pre-
judice against social equality is inner
ent, instructive and ineradicable. 1t cam
not be argued away nor can it allow eX-
ceptions or suspensions. The idea of as
sociating with negro as social equal
is simply repulsive and that is about all
there is to it. And the senti-
ment of this country, north as we'll as
south, is that the negro should not
aspire to social equality with white
people,

If ever person needs to exercise the
God-given quality of common sense, it
is when he begins to be sick.
One can afford to be stupid or freakish,
or careless and frivolous when we'll. There
is no man so poor. if he has his health
and his nerves are in good order, his mus
cles sound, and his stomach normal, who
cannot correct his mistakes
But the moment one falls Sick-when
as sure as fate, disease with it's mild be-
ginnings, if not promptly checked. is
bound to develop into serious illness
there is no longer time to experiment or
blunder.
The experience of the world has shown
that in every case Of sickness resulting
from impaired nerves and impure blood,
Paincs celery compound does immediate
and effective good! For the last ten years
the thousands of authentic reports of in
dividual cases have multiplied, until it
can be absolutely said that in no one
case does this great remedy ever fail
to benefit. and If taken promptly, to cure!
And yet during that time hundred
worthless ncstrums under patented catchy
names have been foisted upon the public,
and some of them for brief period have
had large sales. But every one OF them
having been tried has been found sadly
wanting and after their INSCRIPTIONS
proprietors have made all the money they
could in defrauding the well and serious
ly harming the sick, these quack med1-
cines and their catchy silly names have
disappeared from view. There is a concoc-
tion being sold in this State today, where
it's speculative advertising was begun a
year later than in other States, year
or two ago. which has gone the way of it's
predecessors so rapidly that in every sec
ton of the country where it was first
exploited, the sales have dropped off as
rapidly as they begun, and the obscure
company behind it finds it no longer pos
sble. even by the most sensational meth
DDS. to create any demand whatever for
it.
Unlike all these and other such prepara-
tions. Painos celery compound has stood
the test of time and experience. 1t is not
a patent medicine; it is the discovery of
one of the greatest physicians the world
has had, probably the most successful
prN titioner in this country. whose repu-
taticn was already established as a
specialist in nervous diseases and who
was and is the foremost authority in the
world on the disease of the blood and

In these years that have seen so many
quacks come and go, one so-called medi-
cine was put up by no more experienced
a hand than a pushing Philadelphia real
estate dealer: another has been and is
now run in part by group of sharp news
paper men; another which originated as a
plea SAINT thing for colds, has added not
to it's virtue, but to it's schemes @of ad
vertising. until it has become in the minds
of its projectors a cure for all the all
ments under the sun-and such instances
might be multiplied. Don't touch them
MI these have had, or are having their
dav, while the demand for America s
greatest family remedy-a real remedy
fol. real ils-an effective tonic and honest
invigorator, has not suffered from the at
tempted substitution of other prepara-
lions Paine's celery compound is med
icine that cures the sick, and no high
class druggist ever attempts to induce
a customer to take anything in it's stead.
Paine's celery compound has gone on
steadily gaining in fame these years be-
cause those who have tried it have CRATE
fully sung its praises, and in every COM
munity in the country have by word OF
mouth spread it's fame.
According to the we'll known ethics OF
reputable physicians, this prescription
was at the very outset freely presented
to physicians in good standing, and the
formula is gladly given them today.
For that reason Paines celery COM

PLAIN TALK.
To Catarrh Sufferers.

Every person suffering from Catarrh
in it's many forms, knows that the
common lotions, salves and douches, do
not cure. 1t is needless to argue this
point or to cite cases of failure, because
every victim of catarrhal trouble knows
it for himself if he has tried them.
A local application, if it does anything
at all, simply gives temporary relief; a
wash, lotion, salve or powder cannot
reach the seat of the disease, which is
the blood.
The mucous membrane seeks to re-
lieve the blood of catarrhal poison by
secreting large quantities of mucous,
the discharge sometimes closing up the
nostrils descending to the throat and
larynx causing an irritating cough
continual clearing of the throat, deaf
ness, indigestion and many other disa-
greeable and persistent symptoms.
A remedy to really cure cattarrh must
be an internal treatment; remedy
which will gradually cleanse the sys-
tenn from catarrhal poison and remove
the fever and congestion always pres
ent in the mucous membrane.
The best remedies for this purpose are
Eucalyptol, Sanguinaria and Hydrastin,
but the difficulty has always been to
get these valuable curatives combined
in one palatable, convenient and eff
cient form.
Recently this has been accomplished
and the preparation put on the market
under the name of Stuarts Catarrh tab
lets; they are large pleasant tasting loz-
enges, SO that they may be slowly dis
solved in the mouth, thus reaching
every part of the mucous membrane
and finally the stomach and intestnes.
An advantage to be considered also is
that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain nc
cocaine, morphine or poisonous narcot-
les, so often found in cattarrh powders
and the use of which often entails a
habit more dangerous than the disease
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
druggists at so cents for full-sized
package and are probably the safest and
most effectual catarrh cure on the mar
ket.

Carr declined reelection but the camps
