Rabelais, being out Of money, once
tricked the police into taking him from
Marseilles to Paris on a charge of trea-
son. He made up some packages Of
brick dust and labeled them "Poison

took Rabelais 100 miles, only to be
told at the end of their journey that it
was April and the affair was hoax.
OF course, as Rabelais was the priv

FIRE ALARM FORAKER AGAIN.

AS our readers know, this paper has
to expect at the hands of the Republi-
can party. 1t was born in hatred of the
South and its success has largely been
attained by bloody shirt waving Its re-
cent quiet attitude has caused some peo-
pie to believe it really had some inten-
tion of becoming a national and not an
anti-South party, but that attitude has
been assumed because it was deemed
necessary to postpone all troublesome
domestic questions until the new imperial
istic policy could get firm foot-hold. 1t
seems that Senator Foraker thinks the
time has come to fling the bloody shirt
again to the breezes. In his speech be-
fore the Ohio Republican convention, he
declared:
Neither is it a time to show indiffer-
ence to the wrong the Democratic par
ty is committing today in the South
ern States against the black man, whom
it is robbng of his suffrage under the
forms of constitutional amendments and
legal enactments that are in violation
of the constitution of the United States.
This is worse, IL possible, than the in
human lynchings of which we read almost
daily, because it is without provocation,
and is blow aimed at class and the
government of Il nation
He went on to declare that these suf-
frage regulations must be suppressed, and
that until the negroes denied suffrage in
the South are given the ballot and full
voice in local government there should
not be any restoration of the Democratic
party to power"
The above is respectfully referred TO
McLaurin and the other McKinleyites who
are advocating such freedom Of opinion"
as would make the South an appendage to
the Hanna kite.
The South now remains solid, both in
defense of correct principles of govern
ment and to prevent another orgy of
negro rule which Foraker threatens, which
would be destructive of the industrial de-
velopment The new progress in the
South depends upon orderly rule in the
South by white men. Tear it down, and
industrial depression and political chaos
will come together

For a long time North Carolina has
made quantities of the molasses and SUI
gar that comes from sugar cane. Sor-
ghum is a noted tar-heel product and is
as good sweetening as the whitest cut
loaf sugar. In some parts of the State
this product is extensively made and
keeps thousands of dollars at home.
Experiments with more or less success
have been made in several sections of the
State with growing beets for sugar. After
repeated experiments, State Chemist
Withers has ascertained that the terri
tory embracing the counties of Ashe, Wa
tauga, Mitchell, Madison, Haywood, Bun
combe, Henderson, Pennsylvania, jack
son, Macon, Graham and Swain counties
is best adapted to the culture of the beets
from which sugar is made.
1t is believed that the erection OF a
beet factory would greatly stimulate the
growth objects and enable North Caro-
lima to raise much of the sugar it con-
sumes.
With~b beet sugar in the West and sor-
ghum in the East, we will all take SUI
gar in our'n."

A NOBLE GIFT.

The ten thousand dollar gift by Mr..
Peabody to the State Normal and In
dustrial College at Greensboro, is his
second gift to that institution. 1t is
money that is wisely invested. Nearly
all the money given to educational insti-
buttons in the South has been given to
the education of men. We are glad to
see that Mr.. Peabody recognizes the sorest
need of the South today is the Oppor-
tunity for an education by thousands of
ambitious women. The work done at
Greensboro is of such a character as to
invite gifts like Mr.. Peabodys, and we
hope that this is but an earnest of what
is in the minds and hearts of generous
men to do for the education of young
women in the South
Mr.. Peabody wisely devotes one half
of his donation to give direct assistance
to young women. The need in our North
Carolina colleges is more for money that
can help the youths through college rath-
er than for larger endowments and bigger
buildings. There are 5000 boys and girls
in North Carolina who would be in col
lege next year is they could borrow par
of the money necessary to pay their ex.
penses.
