BOOKER T. wAsftINoToN's VIEW.

Their ablest leader. Booker T.
Washington. sees the salvation of his
race in becoming tillers of the soil.
His counsel is of universal applica-
ton. Man can do without everything
but what the soil produces. In its
cultivation there is more rest for the
mind and exercise fo- the body than
in any other vocation known TO man
kind. Migration from farms to fac
tories helped to bring in the indus
trial era, but overpressure upon city
employment now points the way back
to the soil.-Chicago Chronicle.
And yet despite the fact that the
country is the best place for the ne
groes, and cultivating the soil the
most natural and profitable employ
ment for them, the tendency among
many of them seems to be to quit the
farms and congrsgate in the towns to
lead an idle, aimIess life of vice and
crime as consumers instead of pro-
ducers. Booker Washington does
well to advise his people to become
tillsrs of the soil for it is the farmer
after all that feeds the world.

WORKS INJURY ALL AROUND.

1t is said by some of the farmers
that the supply merchants have
made big mistake in supplying what
they term the "one-horse farmer"
who has no means to run a crop, but
who has got to give a mortgage On
everything in sight to get supplies.
In doing this, the farmers say that it
has taken the labor from the farmers
who are able to run them selves, and
caused them to fail to make a crop,
while at the same time the some
horse farmer" failed, is sold out and
left flat. There is great deal OF
truth in the Observation-Disclosures
Times.
This comes of the Ubiquitous mort
gage system, the crop lein law, which
ought to he repealed 1t works in
Jury to all concerned-to the mer-
chant who furnishes the supplies, to
the man who gives the mortgage be-
cause he is compelled to pay exorbi-
tant prices and is usually cleaned up
in the end, and to the land owners
because existing conditions which
encourage the making of so many
Independent "one-horse farmers
make it difficult for them to get suffi,
cient labor to cultivate their lands.

lot.e NewS, which we do with pleas
ure:
The following letter has been issued
by the Committee Of the Charlotte Bar
having in charge the candidacy Of Mr..
P. d. Walker for Associate Justice Of
the Supreme Court:
Upon the announcement Of Judge
w. A. Hoke that he would not allow
his name to be considered for the
place Of Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court of North Carolina, the
mem bers Of the Charlotte Bar met and
unanimously endorsed Mr.. Plat d.
Walker, OF Charlotte, for this honor
able and exalted position. a COM
mittse was appointed to present the
name Of Mr.. Walker TO the prominent
lawyers throughout the State, and
the numerous responses received have
expressed the highest approval of the
action of the Charlotte Bar, and
pledged their earnest support in be-
half of Mr.. Walker, and wilhal de-
noted the high and universal esteem
in which he i. held by his professional
brethren.
'Feeling, however, that the ques-
ton as to who shall constitute the
Court of last resort-of final judgment
upon the rights of the person and the
property of the citizens of our State
is one of no less Importance to the
layman than to the lawyer, we take
this time and method to acquaint the
people of the State as to what has
been said and done in Mr.. Walkers
behalf, and to bespeak for him the
support and influence Of the Demo.
cratic voters throughout the State.
ITO those who are acquainted. with
Mr.. Walker, we need not speak of his
fitness for this high and responsible
office, but to those who do not know
him, besides our own testimony as tt
his high character, his integrity ano
ability, we desire to quote the word:
of one high in the councils of thu
Democratic party; and a lawyer o
great renown and learning, who say
of Mr.. Walker: i do not know of an,
man in the State for whom | have ,
greater respect. He is eminentl,
fitted for the place. and is under NJ
obligations to me for supporting him
but the State is under obligations tt
him for serving and it is such man
and such men, that the people o
North Carolina want and demand 70

ROOSEVELTS FIRST BREAK TO
THE NEGRO.

Col. Alexander K Mcclure in his
"reminiscences '.Random RecollectiOns
of Half a Century" recalls a circum-
stance which shows Roosevelts early
love for the negro. He says:
saw the rapidly growing tolerance
OF the Republican leaders for negro
political fellowship very impressively
portrayed at the Chicago Republican
National Convention in 1884. When
the chairman of the National Commit
tee called the body to order one of
the youngest members OF the conven-
ton rose, and in a spesch Of singular
elegance and force nominated Repre-
sentative Lynch as temporary chair
man. In presenting this nomination
the young orator said that it was "a
fitting thing for US to choose to pre-
side over the convention one of that
race whose right to sit within these
walls is due to the blood and treasure
so lavishly spent by the founders Of
the Republican party" Lynch was
promptly and unanimously elected,
and the young orator who thus pre-
scented the first negro to preside over
a national convention, and the only
one of his race who has ever been in
charge of sucn a body, was Theodore
Roosevelt, now President OF the
| United States.

Charleston IS. c. Post
President Roosevelt has appointed
DR.. j. l.. M. Curry to represent the
United States al Madrid on tho occa-
sion OF the coming of age OF the young
Spanish King. Alfonso XIII. DR..
Curry was minister to Spain at the
time OF the birth of the King and was
present in his official capacity at the
palace when that interesting event
occurred. The appointment is on
this account particularly appropriate.
But what will the extreme Democrats
say to this honoring of a Democrat
and Southsrner by President Roose-
welt? DR.. Curry was minister under
Cleveland and he is one of the few
survivors of the Confederate Con-
gress. Is it right for him to accept
honors from Republican President?
We should like to hear from the Sons
OF Veterans in this matter.

TO CONFEDERATE ROANOKE.
Chatham Record.

Senator Simmons introduced several
important bills soon after Congress
convened. Among them was one ap-
propriating $50, 900 to defray the ex-
psnses of the proposed celebration
next July at Roanoke Island. Another
was to appropriate $4,000 for a mon
ument to be erected at that historic
place in commemoration of the land
ing of the first English colonists in
America.
There would be no doubt as TO the
passage Of these two bills-indeed
such bills would have been passed
years ago-if Roanoke Island was
farther North. The landing of Raj
eigh's colonists was an event OF ma
tional interest and Congress should
by all means aid in appropriately
commemorating it.
