TIE BANE OF THE STATE.

Emigration has been our bane,
cried d great North Carolinian OF the
past 1T has broken up old associations
and scattered never to be reunited many
elements of our prosperity. And shall
il continue?. The Clay county Courier
in its last issue said:
THE western fever has a strong
hold upon our people. Old men, young
men, kids and all take it occasionally.
and a great many of them leave, mostly
going to Texas. We hope the people
won't all leave
This is n piece of untoward news that
breaks in upon the harmony Of renew
ed activity in most sections of the
Commonwealth. We are reaching out
TO bring immigrants into the State.
What shall it profit us il we gam an
hundred immigrants and lose hundred
of our own people, born here among us
and "racy of the soil?"
The drift toward the West has md
ed in those communities where employ
ment at profitable wages has been pro-
vided. The county of Clay is rich in
mineral wealth and this weeks Cour-
Ter brings this good news:
Capt. IL. C. Tate has just returned
from the North and some of the
capitalisti who are interested in the
corundun. mines on Tarrurah came
with. him in order that they might see
for themselves how the mines We're
panning out They were very much
pleaced with the showing made by
Capt Tate, the manager Only one plate
cleaned up a car load of the corundum.
When the company saw this they at
once ordered half a dozen more plates
and they will be put in as soon as they
arrive Capt. Tate has paid off all that
was due on the back wages of the
hands, and everything is now in good
shape We hope and believe that the
opening up of these Tarrurah and
Shooting Creek mines is but the begin
ming of the development of this section.
Untold wealth lies hidden in these nils
and mountains. and it will some Gay
be developed
1t is by developing our resources and
affording employment to labor-and IN
these ways alone-that we can keep our
folks native and to the manner born
and secure immigrants, both OF which
the state must do to go forward stead
lis.
There has probably been less emigrd-
ton from the State in the past ten
wears than in any other ten years ot its
history. The increase between 1889 and
1900 was 275.S63 or Ill per cent, lar
ger increase in percentage of populn-
ton than is shown by Ohio and nearly
ms large as the increase in New York.
Much of this increase was from the
large birthrates but good proportion
came from new settlers who were at
tractcd by the advantages offered IL
North Carolina.

IN MARKED CONTRAST

Tbo ouay statemen at Harrisburg,
who want to gag the newspapers by
ironclad libel laws are somewhat be-
hind the old English method of putting
editors in prison for telling the truth
~. the modern method of deportation.
The Pennsylvania Quayites propose TO
reuaal the present libel law and substi-
tnte = law requiring newspapers 10
submit to every public official who IN
eurs criticism a copy of the charges to
he published and publish an ahsN er
along with the criticism" The reason
for This law suited to the Dark Ages
is that most of the newspapers oil PENN
svlvania opposed the election of Quay.
1t is proposed to punish them.
In marked contrast with this poiicy

~ The senate of North Carolina which
unanimously passed new and modern
libel law. framed to protect the pubic
MS well as the editor, and at the same
time to permit no license to dishon-
est Journalist. Ii is the best libel law
ever written. The House will do just
thing and give the State high fame by
passing the bill by the same vote by
which it passed the Senate.
