Mr.. Watson Did not Say II.

News and Observer.
In a speech at Henderson, Hon.
CYRUS B. Watson declared that if the
dictum of Judge Furches that school
money must be devided between the
races per capita was permitted to
stand, he would favor an amendment
to the Constitution that would not
permit such an injustice to be done
to the white children. Some people
who didn't read Mr. WatsOn's speech
carefully took this statement to mean
that Mr.. Watson favored a constitu-
tiOnal amendment to divide the
school money to the races in the pro-
portion OF the amounts paid by each
in taxes. Mr.. Watson did not say
that or anything that could be con
strued into such an utterance.
There is division of sentiment as to
the division of tax money between
the races in the proportion that they
pay it, but the sentiment among
white folks Except Radicals and their
sympathizers) is unanimously op-
posed to the dictum OF Furches.
When it was printed, State Superin-
tendend Joyner wrote to all the
county superintendent OF schools
that it was a mere dictum and in
structed them to payne attention to
it. If the Supreme Court should order
a per capita division OF the school
fund it would create a revolution in
public school affairs in North Caro-
lima and strike a serious blow to edu-
cationalprogress. No Supreme Court
elected by the people now will ever
render such a decision.

Out OF the Frying Pan Into the Fire
Exchange

Exchange.
The Philadelphia Press, which holds
undisputed sway as the recognized
organ of the Roosevelt administra-
ton, admits with refreshing candor,
that cit is wrong that American
goods should be exported and sold
for less than at home"
Yet, not less than one short month
ago this same paper was denying
with all the vehemence its editorial
writer's could command that Ameri-
can-made goods were sold cheaper in
European markets than at home
Why this change of heart? Why
should the Press deny a statement
today and turn around tomorrow
and not only admit the statement
but even go still further and concede
that the condition OF affairs not only
exists but that it exists wrong
fully?
All. The secret is this, the Press
along with all the rest of the Repub-
lican party, tried to befoOl the peO-
pie on the issues of this campaign;
they tried to laugh these issues away
But they have discovered that the
people are in no humor to be trified
with. They have learned that the
people know that these conditions
do exist, and that to deny their
existence will make a very bad situa-
ton still worse.
But, in making this loop to try to
dodge the just wrath Of the people
they have revealed the fact that their
fight is merely to admit what they
have to and deny what they can
The issues of the campaign have
| come home to them, and this Incl
dent in itself reveals the fact tina,
they are merely trying to temporiz
with the people upon whom the in
justice falls. And when the people
discover this tenporizing attitude
of the Press and its party, the Press
and its party will find that they
have jumped out of the fat into the
fire.

Sanford Express.
There is no better man, or rather
raw material for. a man, anywhere
than most OF the Southern poor
whites,' not alone in the mountains,
but in the less rich portions of the
country. In true manhood he is
difficult to match even now; with
such education as he should have he
will be a power in the nation within
the next generation. New York
Tribune.
The Tribune's tributes as deserved
as it is handsome. The poor white
people of the Southern States have
furnished this country some of its
foremost statesmen and soldiers.
Benton, Clay, Houston, Stephens,
Johnson, Lincoln and the two Jack
sons, Andrew and Stonewall, were
the sons of men and women, some OF
whom could neither read nor write
The poor whites of this fair section
have always made good citizens.
When the Civil War came on, though
boasting not of slaves and landed
estates, they went to the front, and
the world has not seen better soldiers
than they made The younger gen
Grafton of these people are educating
themselves. They are crowding into
the schools and universities of the
South in great numbers. They easily
hold their own with those students
who represent families OF n finer
strain. The University of North
Carolina has no better students than
the boys who come out of cabins in
the Rlue Ridge They are usually
strong OF body. clear of mind and
they have all the rugged moral fibre
of their Scotch, Scotch-Irish and
German forebears With such edu-
cation as the Southern poor whites
should haye-and some of them are
now getting the best that the South
ern States and churches can afford
they will, as the Tribune says, be a
power in the nation within the next
generatiOn-a power for which the
nation and the South will no doubt
have ample need

Political Free Advertising.
Charlie Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
The kinston Morning News has
this paragraph:
''The independents don't seem to
mind paying for advertisements.
They have been running the Durham
county ticket among the ads in both
of the dailies since the convention,
and yesterday Chairman Whitaker
came out with a full page and against
Judge Clark in the Herald, and the
editor remarks in the editorial col
umns that thepaper wasgetting pay
for it."
The independent movement" will
not have lived in vain if it conveys
the idea to all concerned that the
political parties, like merchants,
manufacturers and others, should
pay for the publicity they get. Whv
should they not pay the newspapers
for keeping their tickets standing IN
their columns, for announcements OF
speakings, and other matter which
is of purely advertising character?
In this matter the papers are fear
fully imposed upon, those of one
party not more than those OF
another. Why should political par
ties be made an exception of and
be allowed to hobo their way through
the newspapers as if the success of
this or that party We're of more i'm
portance to thepaper than to Others
who belong to the party? And yet
no individual is expected to get up a
free barbecue and no liveryman to
furnish free teams FOR party pur-
poses. The Baltimore Sun will not
print a report of a political speech
except as an advertisement. This is
carrying the idea a little too far, but
surely there is a proper line some
where between what should be
printed free and what should be paid
for.
The Observer has no notion of I'M
dertaking to establish an innovation
in this matter but expects to go on
as it has always done and as all
other North Carolina papers have
done and do, publishing political adj
vertising without charge, but it is
not out of the way to refer to this
imposition upon all the papers of all
parties.

The Seaboard Orders 500 New Cars
and 900 Tons of Steel Rail.

Baltimore, Oct John SHELTON
Williams, president of the Seaboard
Air Line Railroad, was in Baltimore
today in conference with vice-presi-
dent Middendorf. subsequently he
left for Richmond. He announced
that the Seaboard had Just ordered
the construction of 800 freight cars
to accommodate increasing business
and ZOO tons of steel rails, making
a total of 10000 tons ordered since
July. In reference to the Louisville
& Nashville deal Mr.. Williams said
there was nothing to add to his pre-
vious statement, which was that the
Seaboard expected fair treatment,
and would respond, if Disseminated

SO many sick people well and weak people

NOTHING WRONG WAS DONE.
The Republicans Should Stop Trying
to Make Political Capital Out OF the
Borrowing Of Money by the Present
Democratic Administration for the
Objects They Did.

Concord Tribune.
We have never thought that the
denunciatiOn of the present admins
tration by the Republican party for
the borrowing of 5000, 900 was to he
considered in a serious light, even
with view of influencing voters
away from the Democratic party
When this act is condemned the case
should be gonsinto thoroughly from
first to last to see There is not suffi-
cient reason why the party should be
proud of it's record. including this
transaction, instead of being afraid
of the issue. 1t is fact that the
FusiOnists started out with $685.

turned over to the Democratic
treasurer, Mr.. Lacy, $37, 52O.26,

charged to the Russell administra-
ton, and not only this but $2S3,-

making In all $549, GAS 90, as "a Flu
sion legacy. This 1888, 934.9O was
paid by the Democratic administra-
ton and was for various expenses
incurred by the Russell administra-
ton and included $79224 on the
penitentiary debt, lawyer fees for
Governor Russell amounting to over
SAC, 900 and other items. Now when
the Democrats have in three years
paid over a half million dollars
which was brought over from Fusion
rule, and have increased the appro-
priation to the insane hospital, and
made large increase in the public
school funds, and increased the pen
siOns of the Confederate soldiers, we
do not think they deserve to be de-
nOunced for borrowing 100000. 1t
must have taken good financiering
to have come out with that. Also,
if the $549, 934 80, had not been. to
pay off they would have had a hand
some sum in the treasury instead of
borrowing 100000. These are
facts which the records show and no
man should abuse the present ad-
ministration for SO easily and well
coming out of the hole made by it's
predecessor. Every dollar has been
wisely spent. for schools, the insane
and the needy. Not a dollar has been
wasted unless it was in paying some
of the expenses of the Russell admin
istration. Let's be fair in this matter
and get both sides as we go along.
