PHYSICIANS RIGHT TO SHORTEN
LIFE IN CERTAIN ASSES.

The newspapers have again taken up
the discussion of the proposition of
granting legal authority to physicians
to shorten life in certain cases. Some
men who stand high in the legal n
medical profession maintain that IN
der certain circumstances physicians
should have the right to shorten the
lives of patients. Where the patient
from the nature of the disease is GER
tain to die in great pain n slowly,
these men advocate permission to the
physician to administer a drug that
will produce a painless death n has
ten the otherwise lingering Pickering
out of life. This is one step toward
that custom of barbarians of Destroy
ing all newly born babies that show
any deformity. 1t is a retrogade move
ment from that high civilization and
Christianity which considers life
sacred and that man has no right to
destroy it save for heinous crimes. No
such views should be ~countenanced, no
matter how eminent the man who
advocates them. Such action would be
but the murder of the helpless by those
in whose care they are.

KING EDWARDS ILLNESS.

The news of King Edwards illness
caused a shock throughout the civil
lized world. The effect in England of
the announcement was stunning. The
people were dazed. They could hardly
have been more stunned thar they
were at first If they had been told that
the king was dead. The prediction that
he would no live to be crowned and
the fact that q great many De Jple had
taken policies on the coronation ak
ing place on the 18th probably deepened
the feeling of awe when II vas an
nounced that the coronation had been
indefinitely postponed on account of
the serious illness Of the king. for there
were many thousands who, NJ doubt,
Immediately concluded hat DC would
not survive the attack
AS announced in the dispatches Tues
day night. it will be several days be-
fore the king can be declared out Of
danger. The operation performed up
on him must have been a very severe
one. n a great tax on the vitality
and recuperative powers of a nan Of
his age, being in his 61st year.
While the news from Buckingham
palace last night announced that the
king was getting on very well, the in
dications are that the opening reign
OF the house of Coburg will probably
be the shortest in EngIand's history.

FACTS AND FIGURES AS TO FARMS
IN THIS STATE.

The following facts and figures as to
the bulletin issued by the census bu-
reau.
The total number of farms on June 1,
1900 was 224,637, valued at S194, 655, 920.
The total value of farm implements and
machinery was S9,O72, 600, and of live
stock $50, LOG, 173. The total value of
farm products for the preceding year
was SS9, 209, 638. For the year 1899 the
farmers paid out $4,479,O 30 for fertilizers
Robson leads in the amount purchased.
The farmers of hat county paid out
s247. $50. Swain was at the other end
Of the list, her farmers expanding only
$210 for this article. Following Robson
comes Pitt s166. 300. Nash SLAB. $50, John
son s143.53O and Wayne 136,O1O.
Approximately one-fourth of the
farms are operated by negroes. Their
farms though, comprise only a little
over one-eighth of the total farm acre
age. but the statistics for the year 1899
show that they obtained a higher per-
centage of gross income from their in
vestment than did the white farmers.
On this subject the census report says:
This apparent anomaly is traceable,
in general, to certain distinguishing
racial characteristics. and, IN particu-
lar, to the contract system under which
nearly all negro tenants lease their
lands. The first point relates to the
recognized tendency on the part of the
more progressive white farmer to con-
stantly improve his property, especially
his buildings and fences, thus adding to
it's market value. although not material
ly increasing it's productive capacity
per acre. The colored farmer, on the
other hand, adds comparatively little to
his fixed capital in the way of improve
mentS. and his income per acre natural
lv represents a higher percentage Of the
C -pital invested than in the case of the
white farmer. In addition under the
prevailing contract system. the negroes
lease small tracts of h best and most
highly improved land Of the plantations,
which they cultivate under the super
vision of the Ian owner or his hired
manager. This land appears in the
censu reports as farms of negro tenant
farmers. Unimproved and less produe-
tive tracts of and constitute the great
er part of the farms of the white plan
tation owners as reported by the CEN
sus. The white landlord commonly
owns the greater number Of the work.
ing animals and most of the imple-
ments and machinery used by his COL
ored tenants. These being lept for the
most part on the farm where the land
lord resides, were reported as part OF
his property, while the products obtain
ed through their use were reported un-
der the names of the tenats. The above
considerations. it is believed. not only
explain the high per cent Of gross in
come shown for the negro farmers, but
also the low rates shown for managers
and owners as compared with those Civ
en- for cash and share tenants. 1t is
evident, therefore, that a high rate Of
gross income on investment can not
properly be construed as proof Of supe-
rior farm management"

w. J.. BRYAN's REPLY TO MR..
CLEVELAND.

Hon. William j. Bryan, who was in
vited to the banquet of the Tilden club
last Thursday night, but did not at
tend or even acknowledge the receipt
of the invitation, has come out in a re-
ply to the speech made on that &C
casion by ex-President Cleveland.
Mr.. Bryan says this was TO be a
democratic harmony meeting but that
there can be no harmony among demo-
Gratis when Mr.. Cleveland is one of the
factions trying to harmonize. His article
is devoted chiefly to a denunciation Of
the politics and political course Of the
ex-president.
1t strikes us that Mr.. Cleveland's re-
marks about his retirement from &C
tive politics. or Punishment instead Of
retirement, would have touched a SYM
pathetic chord in the heart of Mr..
Bryan. but it seems that he did not
consider their attitudes toward the
party IS at all similar In this respect.
For Mr.. Bryan's sake and for the
sake Of the party, we wish he had held
his peace regarding this banquet and
Mr.. Cleveland's speech, for his remarks
will do no good n are calculated to
do great harm. 1t shows him to be
vindictive and filled with venom
against the man who has twice led the
national democracy to victory. He
berates Mr.. Cleveland for thinking that
party success can be secured only by
an open and avowed return to his
ideas. Considering the fact hat Mr..
Cleveland has been twice elected presi-
dent by the democrats and Mr.. Bryan
twice nominated and defeated because
of democracy, should have been good
reason for Mr.. Bryan keeping his
mouth shut as regards this part of Mr..
Cleveland's speech.
Mr.. Bryan says Mr.. Cleveland Sc
cured his nomination in 1892 by a secret
bargain with the financiers, but he
seems to forget hat the people elected
him.
Mr.. Bryan that the fight
is on between a democracy that means
democracy and a C1evelandism that
means plutocracy. In other words
unless the democratic party will en-
dorse Mr.. Bryan INC his ideas and re-
affirm the two platforms on which he
led the party to defeat in 1896 and 1906,
he and his followers will conduct the
fight against the democratic organiza-
ton. His words: THE fight is on"
can be construed in no other way. In
other words, he claims the right to do
the very thing he charges Mr.. Cleve-
land with doing-saying to the demo-
Gratis if you do not think as 1 think
and declare for the principles 1 hold,
you are not democrats and / will put
you beyond the party pale.
The statement is abusive, arrogant,
and full of personal spite and vindic-
~tiveness, and does Mr.. Bryan more
harm than Mr.. Cleveland. In fact, it's
effect will be just the reverse of what
Mr.. Bryan intended it should be. 1t
will detract from the latter's popular
ity and attract greater attention to the
position taken by MI. Cleveland.

A CRUSADE AGAINST PURCHASABLE
VOTERS.

The Augusta Chronicle has started \
reform movement in city elections, and,
as is usual in all such movements the
reformer comes in for a rounI OF abuse
from all sides. That paper declares its
purpose to see If means cannot be de-
vised to eliminate the purchasab'e vot-
er, and for this it is jumped upon and
abused, being charged on the one side
with an attempt to establish a Tam
many Hall in Augusta and on h 9TH
er with an effort to organize an oil
garchy of wealth. If The Chronicle IS
attempting to rid the election OF the
baneful effects Of vote buying it is
working against an ~oligarchy Of weaith
rather than in its favor.
The Chronicle has named eighteen
prominent citizens whom it requests
to act as a committee on ways and
measn to purify elections in that city
AS Sam Jones says it is the hit dog
that bowls, and from the bowling that
has arisen in Augusta over The Chron-
icle's movement there must be several
politicians in that city who have beer
hard hit. The Chronicle has taken a
pretty arduous task On its hands IL IL
has undertaken to fight the city poi;-
~ticians, and we have great curiosity 10
see how the conflict will terminate.
