Killing frost over the northwest covering Iowa
and Nebraska and extending down into Kansas.
Ilis was the important thing in the grain mar
kets this morning. Naturally. there was
strength all around, wheat, corn, oats and flax
all responding in some degree. Yet there was
no such advance many had supposed would
follow the first severe frosts. For one thing,
is so far along that while there is room
rious enogh to bring material lowering of the
estimates Of the total yield Is scarcely possible
at this late date There was considerable buy
ing the first predictions Of frosts some time
ago, and a fair advance nvalues has resulted
all through. Hence the actual realization of
the anticipated frosts failed to bring on scare,
the possible effect having been discounted to some
extent. But the principal cause for hesitancy
in the disappointing foreign reports. Liver

1T RESTS WITH THE GAR.

For years there has been an intelligent
and patriotic agitation for the establish
ment of the Appalachian Park in the
mountains of North Carolina and other
Southern States. 1t has been a labor OF
love with high minded, public spirited
citizens. Every obstacle in the way of
opposition seems to have been overcome.
The approval of all who have considered
the project has been secured and most
have become enthusiastic supporters of
the Park.
The news comes from Washington that
the Appalachian Park bill will pass the
Senate, but there is fear that the Speaker
will not permit the house to vote upon
it. We have an object lesson of the sort
of government under which we live where
the Gar of the House can, by refusing to
put bill on the calendar, prevent its
consideration. The North Carolina MEM
bers who voted for the Speaker ought to
make it hot for him if he thus kills the
Appalachian Park bill.

A COSTLY ADVERTISEMENT.

The Exposition gave Charleston a mag
nificent advertisement and showed to the
world that it possessed a greater spirit
of enterprise than has been found in any
city of like size on the continent. 1t re-
quired courage and progressiveness of
the best type to have projected so great
an enterprise and to have carried it out
in such a way as to win the commenda-
tion of the whole country. The attend
ance was most disappointing, averaging
only $500 daily, nearly all being regis
tered during the months of April and
May. Ncrth Carolina week was the
greatest in the history of the Exposi-
iton, as North Cardinals exhibit was
easily the best.
In 4 letter the Atlanta Journal. Mr..
Thos. r. Waring, editor of the Charles
ton Evening Post, gives these facts,
showing how much the Exposition lost:
1.-THE Exposition itself was a financial
failure, despite the great and remark
able economy displayed in its construc-
tion and maintenance. No statements
have been given out yet, but it is be-
lieved the losses Will aggregate about
$45e,0 00 including the stock, thus: Cap
ital stock, S250,00 bonds, $50, 900; gen
eral creditors, 5000. Captain WAGNER,
advances and endorsements, 500 900.
The bondholders will get about 70 per
cent. return Captain Wagner, the
president of the exposition. it will be
seen, is the heaviest loser. He was very
free with his purse, and only his sup
port kept the show running through its
dull period An effort is being made to
have Congress to appropriate $150oGO for
the exposition. and if this succeeds the
losses, with the exception of the stock
subscription, will be SMALL.
1t was almost worth the cost of the
Exposition to let the South know that
Charleston possessed men who would put
up half million dollars for State and
city pride and advancement. and to
show that Charleston was rich in citi-
zen so generous, so liberal and so pro-
grcssive as Capt. WAGNER. The value
of such a citizen is beyond estimation

Mr.. A. M. sorrell For Sheriff.

To the Editor: Please allow me space
in your valuable paper to say a few
words in regard to Mr.. A. M. Sorrell.
who lives in the corner of four town
ships. viz: Cedar Fork, Oak Grove. Bar
tons Creek and Houses Greek. and who
has, according to the wishes of his many
friends. formally announced himself
through the columns of your paper, l
think, as a candidate for the office of
Sheriff of Wake county.
The name of Mr.. A. M. SOrrell is
familiar to most of the people of Wake
county, for they will remember that in
1890 he was sent to represent them in
the Legislature, which place he filled
with honor to himself and the people;
also they will remember that in 1898 he
was appointed by the Clerk of the Court
to act as county commissioner, which
place he also filled to the complete
satisfaction of the people.
1t is with pleasure that I am enabled
to say that my friend, Mr.. Sorrell, has
never been an offce-seeker. only at the
request of his friends. They have sought
his services before, and now they have
pressed their claim upon him for his
services as sheriff of our county, and he
would have been untrue to them and to
the Democratic party if he had not re-
sponded to their claim and allowed his
name to be used as a candidate for this
office!
Knowing Mr.. Sorrell as l do. l am pre-
pared to say that we have no man that
has stood tirmer in the Democratic ranks
than he; no man has a deeper interest
in the welfare of his people or his coun-
try than he. no man desires more than
he to serve his people. With this in
behalf of my friend. Mr.. A. NJ. Sorrell,
pledge his strongest effort to make
Wake county q sheriff that will do him
self and the county an honor. and I APP
peal to all loyal Democrats of Wake
county to stand by him, who has stood
by you so firmly in the past and who
will stand as firmly in the future when
ever an opportunity presents itself, and
give him the office that his friends not
only desire for him to hold. but that
which he justly deserves, and that which
a majority of the votes of the people Of
Wake county are going to give in The
next election. Hurrah for A. M. SorrcIl.
our next sheriff.
Respectfully,
A. N. JACKSON.

Middle Creek township, possibly one of
the oldest in the county. If l have ever
been anything, from the crown of my
head to the sole of my feet, have been,
and am Democrat. l have never voted
any thing but the Democratic ticket,
and have been followed by my children
and children's children in the path |
have found safe to go. I have followed
unfalteringly the leaders of the party,
in prosperity and adversely, and voted
for the nominees, whether my personal
friend or foe, whether from the country or
the city. Just let others put up the
mark and ! have done the shooting, but
two often l have been made to feel that
favors were shown the city and against
the country, and now think the country
should be heard.
There is a man whose nomination !
want to second for Register of Deeds.
He is a farmer, a Democrat. a brave
man and a gentleman, and in every way
qualified to fill the position efficiently
and will. if elected, make an officer OF
whom Wake county would be proud That

A FRANK IMPERIALIST.

If there is any one trait to be admired
it is frankness and candor. 1t is not al
ways wise to deal with perfect frankness
and it sometimes defeats ones aims and
purposes, but it is refreshing all the
same. Most of the imperialists in these
parts tell us they are prompted to their
position by sentiments of Christian zeal
or national honor. No such influences
govern the editor of the San Francisco
Argonaut. Here is his frank and brutal
declaration:
I'VE do not want the Filipinos. We
want the Philippines. The islands are
enormously rich But, unfortunately,
they are infested by Filipinos. There are
many millions of them there, and it is
to be feared that their extinction will be
slow. ..... The development OF the is
lands cannot be successfully Done while
the Filipinos are there. Therefore the
more of them killed the better
That paper. of course, approves the
water cure and the Jake Smith Herodian
policy, regretting only that the burning
and killing did not result in extinction.

CUBA AND THE COLOR LINE.

| During the war and prior thereto
many stories were sent out from Cuba to
| the effect that there was no color line
| and that it was a common sight in Cuba
to see white people and negroes mingle
upon terms of perfect social equality.
| Since the American occupation, there
| seems to have sprung up the same dis
| tinctions that obtain in America. Ac-
cording to Havana special to the New
York Sun the negroes object to separa-
| ton of races. The special says:
THE negro element has been com
| palining about being left out in the cold
| in the matter of the distribution of pub
| lie offices. A commission called on
President Palma today and asked that
no distinction be made between the two
races. The question raised by the ne
groes is not that individual members of
| their race shall obtain places under the
government but that lines of official de-
| marcation do exist, such as the fact
that the artillery corps is divided into
two companies of whites and one of
blacks. The committee recalled the day
of the arrival of President Palma when
the artillery was lined in front of the
palace and was divided into white and
black companies. They also recited the
fact that the police force of Havana
would not receive negroes.
'"The white Cubans as a rule would not
welcome any encouragement to the ne
groes. They would prefer such meas
ures as would satisfy the negroes with
out giving an opportunity TO get in
power. Negro power is feared by
| many"
The Columbia State, whose editor
served in the American army in Cuba
during the Spanish American war, and
is familiar with conditions existing in
Cuba, quotes the above special and
throws light upon the conditions in
Cuba in the following:
Negroes, it will be seen, still re-
main in the Cuban army-the little artil-
lery corps that is to be the nucleus of it
but the races are separated, just as in
the American army. The negroes have
one company out of three, or a number
corresponding to their numerical
strength in the island. 1t will also be
observed that negroes cannot get on the
Havana police force.
THE old Spanish civil rights laws
have been maintained by the American
government ever since the retirement of
Spain from the island; but by degrees
these will be modified, and in q few
yaers there will be as full separation
of the races in other fields as there is in
the social one. How wide this is is
proved by the reports of the American
sanitary administration of Havana dur
ing the last eighteen months which
show that although there was no law
against intermarriage of the races there
were in that period hardly dozen cases
of such intermarriage in a city Of 49,
900 inhabitants. 1t has been found ex-
pedient in South Carolina and the South
to prohibit miscegenation by constitu-
ton and by law: in Cuba there has been
no such prohibition, yet, as the records
show, the offence is very rare"

NO SUCH RULE.

This is the tax-listing month in North
Carolina. 1t is month of trial to the
honest man who wishes to fairly give in
his tax returns and it is time of shift
ing for the man who wishes to escape
listing his property honestly. The Cor
poration Commissioners recently issued
instructions to the ax-listers which will
guide them III their responsible and deli
cate duty. A notion has obtained that
property should be given in at only two
thirds or three -fourths of it's real value
Upon this point, the Corporation Commits
sion says:
''All property subject to taxation must
be placed on the tax list at it's true value
in money. 1t has been claimed that
there is rule in North Carolina among
assessors and tax listers to Intentionally
undervalue property, and instead of put
ting it on the list at its true value in
money. to assess it at two thirds or
threefourths of its value. This is q re-
markable contention in view of the tax
laws that have existed in North Caro-
lima since the Constitution of 1868; but if
such a rule ever did exist in the State
or in any part of it. there can be no ex-
cuse for it in the future"
All property owners as we'll as tax
listers would do well to keep this in
mind.

Mr. Smiths Last Word.

To the Editor: The types played such
havoc with the last sentence of my com
munication published in Sundays News
and Observer that l ask your permission
to correct it, by repeating it as was
written, as follows: At any rate let the
facts be stated by the Senator'S them
selves, with their opinions THEREON,
AND THEREFROM let your readers
draw their own conclusions.
Now as you did not have room for the
facts as stated by the Senators, please
permit me to say that they not only
"exonerate the Southern Methodist
Church from all blame, etc." but they
state also in substance that the church
ought not to return the money, OR
AGAIN offer to return it, which on GER
tain conditions was once done by the
College of Bishops.
The vote of 159 and 105 in the General
Conference was upon the motion to table
the minority report, and was not a talr
test. For both the majority and minority
reports were extreme and neither was
.adopted But the action taken was the

A QUARTER CENTURY OF EDU.
CATION.

The keynote of our educational growth
ter OF century is struck in President
Mortons address at the opening OF the
Teachers Assembly last night. OF this
growth he can say, as did Aeneas when
recounting the Tale of Troy to Dido,
Quorum magma pars fui,'' and he is
fully capable of summing up the educa-
tional achievements of which he himself
was so great part. He shows us where
we started a generation ago, what We
remains to be done. His summary of re-
suits achieved will doubtless surprise
many of our readers, who have not seen
the facts thus graphically grouped and
contrasted. He deals not with individ-
uals, nor accidental circumstances. but
with great principles and with the final
goal.
The great defect in our school system,
says President Morton, is it's one sided
cast-iron curriculum requiring all it's
pupils to devote themselves exclusively to
books, theories and abstract ideals. He
advocates the mingling together of
book study and industrial training,
that such training will be the salvation
of the average boy and very helpful to
all.
The speech is full of thought and of
encouragement for the future.
