SENATOR HARRIS of BeXar COun-
~, recognizing the Importance of
forest growths as promoters of
favorable physical ana meteOfolOg-
zeal conditions, has prepared IA
resolution for adoption by the leg
isla:ure, the purpose of which is
to secure prompt presidential and
congressional action for the pres
ervatiOn of the primeval forests
covering the Sacramento noun
tains in Southeast New Mexico.
These mountains are close to the
Texas line and have an enormous
influence upon the water supply of
the vast area included between the
Brazos and PecOS rivers. Their
cold, high attitudes annually cause
the precipitation of the moisture
borne by prevailing winds from
Southeast Texas, thus producing
heavy summer rains with unfailing
regularity, while, as natural re
sult of the snow held to their
sides by the trees which cover
them, innumerable perennial
springs and mountain streams are
formed which find their way IN
part TO the Pecos river and more
largely to the table lands of Texas,
creating vast reservoir for the
western portion of this State =
Houston Post.

as Is the ease now IN the vicinity
of Waco, where excepting a few
light showers, no rain has fallen
for nearly two months. The area
irrigated Is comparatively very
small. AS has been stated in these
dispatches, the water Is obtained
from wells from . to % feet deep
and is pumped into reservoirs by
steam in some eases and in other
cases by windmill power. Orders
came to day for vegetables from
distant points, but can not be fill

than the demand. One owner Of
irrigated land sent off to day as Il

and juicy, like the best spring pro-

vendure and III the midst of the
dry surrounding farms, whlthered
under the scorchlng sun, they pres

heat of the sun is all the better for

which settles on the leaves and

THE RIGHT SORT.

Referring to the removal of Mr.. W. w.
Mills from Carthage to Biscoe, the Car
thage Blade says:
''In July, 1886, he began to work at 40
cents a day and is now worth 1925, 900,
earned by energy and business capacity.
Such a man is valuable to town, coun-
ty and State.
Mr. Mills is the right sort. His success
ought to be an inspiration to young men
to put their shoulders to the wheel, to
despise not the day of small things, but
to use brain and industry to develop
their State and secure their own ad-
vancement. Mr.. Mills is a brother of Mr..
]. A. Mills, of Raleigh, president of the
wagon factory and the railroad from
Raleigh to Fuquay. He, too, has been
eminently successful, and is a worthy ex
ample to ambitious young men who are
ready to begin at the bottom, work hard,

BALANCE OF POWER.

A
The people Of South Carolina have not
quit the Democratic party because they
have a constitutional amendment. There
are two reasons: /. They are real DEM
ocrats; 2. They know that Democratic
defeat would result in .annulling the good
of their. amendment. In North Carolina
there would be a third reason. The
number of negroes who can vote through
education will increase every year. II
they are factors in politics by reason of
sharp divisions, enough will vote in
few years to constitute them the balance
of power The place to settle contests
and prevent political staGnation in North
Carolina is within the Democratic prim-
aries or conventions Any other way is
bringing in a Trojan horse.
The Constitutional Convention of 1875
by reason of providing for the county
government and other like measures.
saved the State from negro rule twenty
years. If the Constitutional Amendment
passed in 1900 will save the State for
another twenty years, it will be as long
as it's friends dare expect And then
some other expedient will have to be
adopted

NEWSPAPERS AND SCHEDULES

The News and Observer is a powerful
newspaper now with an adverse railroad
schedule. With a favorable schedule on
the railroads leading out of Raleigh it
would be the equal of any paper in the
South printed in a town twice or three
times the size of Raleigh.-Thomasvill
News.
There is not but one schedule leaving
Raleigh that is moderately favorable to
morning newspaper, and it was changed
recently and has been changed so many
times in the past few years as to have
demoralized newspaper business. There
is not train coming into Raleigh at
night that can bring news by mail to the
News and Observer and but one with a
decent schedule leaving Raleigh in the
morning. Only one town in North Caro-
lima has good newspaper schedules
Charlotte-where the incoming and out
going schedules run as if fixed for a
morning newspaper.
To reach subscribers west and north of
Raleigh, the News and Observer must go
to press at midnight, and the papers for
subscribers east of Raleigh lie in the
Raleigh postoffice five or six hours be-
fore they leave the city. The people of
Wilson, for example, can get the Wash
ington Post about as early as they can
get the News and Observer. The "ad-
verse railroad schedule which the News
speaks about is greater barrier to
the News and Observer than every other
cause combined, and with a favorable
schedule on the railroads leading out of
Raleigh" the circulation of this paper
would reach ten thousand before the end
of the year.
In spite of adverse schedules the peo-
pie of North Carolina, from Murphy to
Morehead, take the News and Observer
because it has the true North Carolina
flavor, prints more industrial news than
any paper in the State, is foremost in
North Carolinians, and stands for the
honorable and straightforward political
methods that are essential to good govern
ment and permanent industrial progress.
Over 600 new daily subscribers have
been added this year SO far, and with
such schedules as the railroads give
Charlotte, the News and Observer, within
twelve months would carry it's circulation
to 10, 900. AS it is, the circulation of the
News and Observer is much larger than
that of any other daily paper published
in the State.

THE TRUE WAY.

In a recent speech in Philadelphia
Senator Quay surprised everybody by his
expression of the Christian estimate of
our duty in China, saying:
I'm China we have but to apply the
Golden Rule-treat China as we would
have them treat US; recognize that, de-
spite their savagery, their Empress
Dowager is the greatest woman born in
Asia since Semiramis, and Tuan the
representative of patriotic Chinese
thought and all can be made we'll there :"
The teaching of his father "a Presby-
terrain minister of the old school, is bear
ing fruit.
To the same effect declared the Mis-
sionary Methodist Conference in New
Orleans few days ago:
1--WE rejoice in the severance of all re-
lations between the church and State that
might lead to the invoking of military
power to advance the spiritual kingdom.
Our kingdom is to be extended by the
Gospel and not by gunboats. Our Gospel
is one of love and not of force"
These two utterances-political and re-
ligious-point out the true way.

IT rs RECIPROCITY.

Mr.. VIM. E. Curtis, writing from Co.
lumbia, S. c., says that in Washington,
whenever legislation vital to the Repub-
Iican interests or strongly desired by
the administration was pending Nc
Laurin habitually voted with the Presi-
dents party, which caused some COM
ment. 1t was understood by the Repub-
lican leaders that his vote could be de-
pended upon whenever it was needed. and
as a matter of reciprocity the President
and the members of the Cabinet accepted
his recommendations in appointments to
office and other official matters in South
Carolina" That's it exactly. McLaurln
gave his vote whenever legislation vital
to Republican interests or strongly de-
sired by the administration was pending,
and as payment he is distributing Fed
eral offices to help elect himself to the
Senate.
And that's why all true Democrats can
have no part nor lot with him.
