WHERE WILL HE JUMP

It looks very much as if Senator George Turner. formerly of Alabama and several other States, but now of Washington, has he is. for he is both a sharp politician and an able man. When he was in Ala bama he was an intense Republican, and was practically leader of his party. He was strong Republican when he re- moved to Washington in the early sos, and when he was appointed and served as one of the Justices of the Territorial Court. In 1ss6 he joined the Bryan forces, and he did 1t in our opinion. not because he believed in any 16-to-1 foolishness, but because he thought Bryanism was to be a winning card, and that he could win on it. At any rate, he joined the free silver Republican Democratic Popullst combination. and that elected him to the Senate of the United States. thus gratify- ing his highest ambition.
 It looks very much, as before remarked, as if the Senator has dropped his gum this time. His term expires next year, and a new Senator is to be elected. The State went for Bryan in 1896 by a plu- rality of 12.493. and for Mckinley in 1900 by a plurality of 12,62S. almost exactly reversing itself. Such a change in the vote for President indicates a change in popular sentiment and 1t would be ab- surd to suppose that the free-silver com bination will control the next Legisla- ture. Unless 1t does Senator Turner can have no hope of reelection, and will have to prepare for another jump, though we do not see where he will land. He claims now to be Democrat, but that will hardly get him a good office in Washington.

zines one writer says that President Roosevelt has introduced decency and honesty" to the office of President, and that "the moral tone of the administra- ton at Washington has been marked by a distinct advance" or words to that effect. What is the good of such rot? Not to go back any further there have never been two more thoroughly decent and honest administrations in Washing ton since the Government was founded than were those of MT. Cleveland and MT. Mckinley. There have not been. and will not be, men who were more thor oughly honest than they nor have there ever been higher examples of the best womanhood than the wives of these two Presidents. The effort to exalt the pres ent administration above all preceding ones is rot

Letters to The Editor.
Artesian Wells.

Greensboro. Oct. 2, 1902. Editor The Advertiser.
 your paper by MT. w. E. w. Yerby editor of The Greensboro Watchman, re- lative to the artesian wells in this sec tion, and their applied use as a motive power He cites the well and mill at the Goodrum place, owned by Colonel Samuel Pickens, as the first and only one, so used, around here, though not in so many words The first application of artssian wells as water-power in America was at "Millwood." ten miles from Greensboro, Hale County, Ala. These wells were bored in 1s44 and 1S45 and owned by Dr. R. W. Wtthers. The mill at that place was not only the first one in America run by artificial water-power but the first mill ir the world where miil-seat and water power were both artificial. To quote the words of Dr. Withers writing to a friend in New York: "The only mill in the world where water-power and mill-seat was created where nature never drca ned of making one. and water used where nature supplied none."
 The mill-seat was made by sinking a shaft or pit, six feet in diameter, fifty feet to the low-water mark of the Black WaI rior River, the last twelve feet be- ing through the solid rock. A tunnel from the bottom of the pit to the river gives the water an outlet.
 The maximum volume of these wells was one thousand gallons per mindt5 which was caught in canals and then transferred through the race or under ground inclined tunnel to the turbine wheel fixed in the pit. This mill IS still in operation as grist mill and cotton gin nery. As insurance was impractiHable at that time, he devised a fire lep1rtm ent by fitting cap and piping to he largest of the wells, with a capacity of four hun dred and sixty gallons per minute, which enabled him to throw the water fifty feet to the top of the mill.
 These wells range in depth from 25S tc 46S feet. while others Tn this and adjoin- ing counties are over 1000 eeet in depth.
 The wells were bored py a MT. Cooper a native of Vermont, who invented and patented augers and instruments TOT the purpose of penetrating the solid rock.

DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses cer- tain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole field of newspaperdom which comes under it's notice. and one of these signs is the mystic symbol I0l denoting golden" which stands for high quality. and is thus explained:
 '.Advertissrs value this paper more for the class and quality of its circulation than for the mere number of copies printed"
 Such papers are credited with a single sym hoi; but there is e higher grade. according to this standard authority. which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL vtal to describe adequately their standing.
 The Advertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol 1901 and is the only paper so distinguished in this section of the South.

Speaking of the abolition of the can teen and the effort to enforce total ab- stinence by law. The Portland Oregonian says:
 You can make a soldier do his military duty but you can no more expect arbi- trarily to starve the social instincts of the average soldier to death by law than you can forbid effectively by law the sale of beer to a civilian who wants it. With in or without the army, you can punish man for the consequences of overin- dulgence, but you cannot make a garri- son a cold-water army by prohibition any more than you can make Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont or Kansas a land peopled with total abstainers by enact ing a prohibitory law.

SHORT ON HISTORY.

Some days ago -..o Advertiser took | occasion to speak commendingly of th' | action of Mir. Cleveland when. in 1894 ht | used the military power of the Govern | ment to suppress the disorders in Cm cago which were interfering with the l mails and with interstate commerce. We | expected our article would cause an at, of our esteemed contemporaries. ard were rot disappointed. A fair example is found in The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. ar excellent newspaper in some respects, but as rabidly anti-Cleveland as The Com
 moner or The Courier-Journal Among
 other things. it says:
 Mir. CIevelands action in this matter was not only arbitrary in the last de- gree; was not only in violation Of the Constitution, and of his oath or omce to protect and defend the Constitution
 but it established one of the most dan. gerous precedents ever set by any Chief Executive of the nation.
 That Is saying it pretty strongly, and
 almost as well as Colonel Watterson or MT. Bryan could do it. but it is a pity The Pilot has forgotten some matters Of history that might be we'll to remember. Only a few days after that action by MT. Cleveland Senator John W. Daniel, of Virginia, introduced into the Senate a resolution strongly, emphatically and
 unequivocally endorsing the administra-
 tion for "the prompt and vigorous meas
 ures adopted by the President" in sup
 pressing the troubles in Chicago. This resolution was supported by radically all the Democratic Senators. including men like Blackburn of Kentucky. Jones of Arkansas, Vest of Missouri and others.
 But some of those Senators saw a new light soon afterwards. Less than two years after the adoption of that resolu- tion the National Convention assembled in Chicago and the same John W. Daniel was temporary chairman. That conven- tion adopted a resolution or plank de- nouncing "arbitr.ry interference by the
 That denunciation was aimed at MT.
 Cleveland, as all know, and the platform
 was endorsed and supported by the same
 men who had so warmly supported the Senate resolution.
 The Senators who supported that reso- lution did so with all the facts fresh in their minds The President had acted | without the request of the Governor or the Legislature of Illinois, 1t Is true, and | the Senators knew it. They knew, as MT | Cleveland knew that the mails were be- ing delayed; that interstate commerce
 was interfered with, and that the Gov
 ernor of the State and the authorities of l Chicago were either unable or unwilling to suppress the riots. Instead of buster
 ing. MT. Cleveland did just what he should
 have done, and did it effectualy, promptly and fesrlessly.

 Several of the papers which supported Governor Johnston in the last primary campaign are now giving out dark hints of the defeat of the Democratic candi- dates by a union of the Republican and Populist vote. While we appreciate the part that we will have none of it. We believe Governor Jelks had the largest number of votes in the late primary, and we shall now support him, as a true Dem ocrat should We were opposed to him in the late canvass because we have all ways supported Johnston. and think he Is an exceedingly good man: but we never threw any dirt at our opponent. and our fight was conducted cleanly and honor ably Now that Jelks has won the nom- ination, we will support him just as earn estly as we did Johnston. and we sin cerely hope he will win.

 A violent rise in stocks showed that Wall Street spectators and professional syndicates appreciated Secretary Shaw s unprecedented measures for further expansion of credits Sober minded bankers and business men view the Sec retary's novel action with doubts as to their legality and their efficiency in prac- tice. If Secretary Shaw knew of any emergency calling for such action the public certainly is aware of none. and the whole proceeding is calculated to give foreigners an exaggerated idea of the ar bitrary powers of the Secretary rather than reassure them of the safety and stability of our financial policy.
