A VISION.

Wayne MacVeagh, a we'll known
northern republican, is hopeful. In an
address at Harvard University recently
he took the ground that the poorer
classes are up and coming, and will
finally take charge of things, and a di-
vision Of wealth will follow. He is
bold if astounding. Mac will catch it
about his ideals in politics. He thinks
all this socialistic upheaval is to come
from the killing Of negroes for crimes
committed. He is confident a change
will occur based upon a contempt of
law" When there is a contempt" of
men it is possible for there to be a
farther contempt manifested. He

social changes Ma veagh tells of win

enough to determine. He says that

under our system, they are entitled, and
then the will be sure to remodel the
present system for the distribution of
wealth. unless We have previously done
SO. upon bases wiser and more equita-
BILE than those now existing"
There may be more in the solemn
words and warning of MacVeagh thar
most people will allow. While he will be
severely handled by the organ of rich
men, corporations and party bosses. he
will be thought not far wrong by others
in much that he says. He sees law
makers n laws now bought with
money in the great north. And yet
people are wilfully blind and will not
see what is before them. For instance
he tells the plethoric and boastful north
this.
Representatives of vast accumula-
tons of property; guardians of great
trusts; individuals profiting by the op-
portunity offered here for suddenly ac-
curing fortunes, and even those of us
who have no fortunes have not hesitat-
ed to give whatever money is needed to
be applied to the purchase OF the cleo
torate, and, when necessary, Of the rep
resentative bodies elected by them. Our
municipal governments have long been
a by-word of kissing, because we decided
we could make money by corrupting
them"

candor who will brand that statement
as false. as slanderous? Not one. 1t is

President J. Allen Holt. of that pro-
gressive and popular school at Oak
Ridge. in a recent article in the Green's
boro Telegram, replies to an %unfound-
ed opinion urged at present. He says
that politicians may have been afraid
in the past. but the people were never.
We quote a few sentences that are true
and ringing:
Gas I read the political history Of
North Carolina, I find that no political
party or party boss has ever been so
dominant in North Carolina as not to
find it necessary to watch the enemy.
No election law has ever been so par
tisan as to be able to hold the party
making it in power when the people
undertook to change it. Bayonets and
courts and election laws have awaited
nothing. Party bosses have lost their
grip more on the south as nowhere
else"

there were but 3.756.144 tons produced
in all the south. OF this amount North
Carolina had $50 tons. In 1900, one
state. Alabama, has a product of near

In 1900, the southern eight states con-
cerned in coal producing, namely: Al

The Chadbourn' Messenger of July
Srd states that the strawberry ship
ments this season from that place were
10000 crates and 10000 from CRISIS,
making a total of $4,000, a gain of 50
percent over the crop of 1900. The
prices were low on cot of heavy
rains, but at the average price paid. the
crop amounts in value to S1OS. a2S. One
grower picked lis crates from a half
acre and doubtless would ave gotten
p more crates had It not been for
heavy rains. One grove realized S1o5
from three-quarters of an acre.
The Messenger says:
"Chadbourn has long since won the
reputation of growing the finest quail
ty of fruit in the whole section and this
reputation has been sustained through
the past season. It is the ideal fruit
growing section of the Carolinas and
at the rapid increase of the industry,

will make it the largest shipping point

.SCHLEY AS BRAVE
AS ANY OF THEM
He Was Calm and Self Possessed
Under Fire During the Battle
OFF Santiago.
DID His DUTY PROMPTLY
The Conduct of Admiral schley Under Fire
at the Naval Battle Off Santiago Har-
Dor is Brought Out By Todays
Testimony.

Washington, D. c., Oct. AT the
Schley court of inquiry, Lieutenant
James J. Doyle, formerly of the flag
ship Brooklyn, told of the lombard
ment of the shore batteries at various
times. Rayner then asked Lieutenant
Doyle how often he had seen Commo-
dore Schley under fire during the San
tiago campaign.
EVERY time we were under fire." he
replied, during those bombardments
and in the battle on July g."
What was his conduct and bearing
when the ship was under fire?''
II did not have an opportunity to
observe his conduct during the battle,
as the commodore was always near
about the coming tower, but imme-
diately previous and after I did have
opportunity to do so, he always struck
me as being just about as well pos
sessed as it was possible for anybody
to be under those circumstances
Rayner asked the questions to show
that Schley did his duty promptly at
various times.
The answers were to that effect.
Captain w. A. Dawson of the United
States marine corps was called as a
witness. He was the signal officer on
board of the battleship Indiana during
the battle off Santiago, and said that
he noticed the Brooklyn when the ves-
sci turned southwark. He supposed
that the ship was injured and had
gone out of action. He thought she
went 1000 yards or more south. Cap
tain Dawson said that during the bat
tie he had a clear view of vessels up
to the time that the Indiana was di-
rected to return during the chase of
the Colon. He occupied a place on
the bridge and was able to see we'll.
He had seen no signals from the
Brooklyn directing the movements of
the fleet during the battle.
At $3.50 p. m. the court adjourned for
the day.
