TO FIGHT THE TRUST.

The Atlanta papers State that the mer-
chants of Georgia have perfected an or
ganization for mutual fire insurance
company. 1t is based somewhat after
the plan of the Greensboro companies,
for the Journal says:
''The idea is to make the insurance
rates as low as possible to pay back to
the policy holders all surplus dividends
The indefensible, arbitrary and ruinous
increase in rates, recently put in opera
ton by the insurance trust, is causing
Southern business men to consider the
necessity of organizing strong home
companies to carry part Of their insur-
anee. 1t is a matter of self defense, and
unless the trust reduces the present
rate it will be the duty of every town
and city to organize home companies.
1t ought to be done anyway. There is
no reason why within ten years South
ern companies should not carry half
of the life and fire insurance taken out
by Southern people.

IT WILL NOT STAND.

There ought to be no uneasiness IN
school circles over the obiter dictum IN
the opinion of Chief Justice Furches in
the decision in the Greenville graded
school case. 1t has been stated that this
decision will require the distribution OIL
the school fund between the races on
per capita basis. 1t is a mere dictum
and will have no such effect. Here is
the extract from Chief Justice Furches's
opinion:
But the next ground alleged is mat
ter of which we must take notice, To-
wit, that the act establishing the
graded school discriminates in its pro-
vision against one race and in favor OF
the other. If this is SO, it is in viola
ton of Article tx section of the Con-
stitution, which provides as follows:
And the children of the white race and
the children of the colored race snail DE
taught in separate public schools; but
there shall be no discrimination in IA
vor of, or to the prejudice OF either
race That is, one white child OF the
school age shall have the same amount
of money per capita as colored child.
and no more; and the colored child shall
have the same amount per capita as any
white child, and no more; that both
races shall have equal opportunities for
an education, so far as the public money
is concerned"
Judge Furches is entirely wrong in
supposing that the Constitution calls for
per capita distribution. The plan now
pursued in North Carolina of giving
schools of equal terms to both races is
in exact acord with the Constitution. If
the dictum of Judge Furches should be
law it would produce an unjust and un-
fair discrimination against the white
children Of the State that would strike
a severe blow at the educational progress
of the State-the severest blow struck
since the 1868 Radical party in North
Carolina sold the permanent school fund
to pay the "hands" in the Legislature.

Cotton Causerie.

Theodore H. Price is already estimat-
ing the coming cotton crop. From re-
plies from 55S out of 1856 cotton producing
counties, he estimates:
First. That under the best condltlons
the maximum productive capacity OF
the acreage now planted is estimated to
be 12,210,174 bales
Second. That the present condition OF
the crop in the opinion of the parties re.
porting is an average of 80 per cent OF
a perfect condition.
Third. That the outlook upon the date
of the replies in the opinion OF the cor
respondents, assuming the best possible
conditions afterwards until the end OF
the season, is for a crop of 1921 ,64S
bales.
The conclusions were based on replies
received between June goth and July 1st
Since then the condition of the crop has
not changed for the better. In many To-
calities the crop outlook is much below
80. A great Improvement must take
place to make the crop in this State come
ND to his estimate of 100000 bales. II
would not be a surprise to many If the
crop be 10 per cent less than this.

POLK RADICALS TRY THEIR
HAND.

The Republican county conventions are
furnishing testimony that the Republi-
can party i'll this State is determined to
destroy the suffrage constitutional
amendment. The Polk Republicans took
a whirl at it this week in a resolution
that is as great freak as was ever al
lowed to escape from a meeting of the
Union League. Here it is:
I'VE pledge our support to every
measure that will insure to the voters
of North Carolina a free ballot and q
fair count. We denounce the Democratic
party for it's invasions of the right of a
free ballot, and assert that a party that
can only retain its control by the man
ipulation of the election machinery and
by the adoption of a constitutional
amendment, which will at the coming
election deprive more than 10000 white
voters in North Carolina of the right
of suffrage, is in danger of defeat in
deed" -
Up to this hour no Republican con-
vention and no Republican of influence
has said that the Republican party
would acquiesce in the suffrage amend
ment. %1aps

Forney and Bradford regimental officers of the Tenth Alabama, with which he was daily associated, were to become members of Congress. He had not fore seen that his neighboring city, Selma, was to send two of her "Brigadiers," Morgan and Pettus, to the Senate; with Oates, Shelley and other Alabama Con- federates in Congress. Nor, indeed. had he foreseen,e that the Yankees them- selves were to be driven in the future to complain that Congress was overrun with Confederate Brigadiers and Colonels. And in the absence or these optimistic forecasts, he was pardonable for the use of his vigorous expressions.
 A fervid fraternal affection was a marked attribute of these stalwart broth CTS A striking illustration Of this devo- tional sympathy occurred on the wound ing of Colonel Royston at the battle of Salem Church. The wounded officer was brought to the brigade field hospital des- perately wounded and prostrated from shock and loss of blood. Surgeon Royston perceiving the serious condition of his brother was overcome with sympathy. Almost choking with emotion he came hurriedly to the senior surgeon and said:
 Doctor. I want you and Gaston to take charge of Young and do the best you can for him. I know his arm will have
