WAR ON WEEDS.

The Tribune is in receipt of COM
mupication from weil-known Flor
snce lady. calling attention to the
Importance of cleaning up the yards
and alleys. We quote from the
letter:
'.In walking about town last even
ing was shocked to see so many OBJ
noxious weeds along the side walks
and in the yards of some of our beaut-
iful homes and on vacant lots in the
center of our city, and noticed in
last evenings issue of the Tribune
that the city was making special
effort to clean mp the streets before
the opening of the Carnival-now if
the property owners could see the i'm
portance of cleaning their yards and
alleys and do their part toward max
ing this one of the cleanest little
towns in Colorado the visitors woul d
go away with such good impression
Of the town.
The lady suggests it would be we'll
for the Elks to offer a prize for the
best kept residence lot in town, in
cluding the street and alley. This
however is too late, as the appropria-
tions are all made. But such an in
ducement might be the means of hav-
ing the city cleaned up.
Our correspondent further says, Il
have considered it privilege and a
pleasure to destroy the weeds all
around my place and II had the
time 1 would be tempted to clean up
for some of my neighbors, even if
am woman. / think it would be a
good idea to have a village improve
ment society of ladies, like some of
our large cities, then we would have
clean streets, alleys and yards. 1t is
shame and disgrace TO let so many
weeds go to seed. for next year it will
be 30 much harder TO get rid of them. y
This lady shows public spirit that
should put many of the men TO shame.
There certainly is large crop of
weeds going TO seed in the city and it
doesn't look good TO strangers even
five ourselves do not think much
about it.

THE DEMAND IS REASONABLE.
w ashington Citizen.

w
That the Republican party does
not propose to accept the Amendment
as final settlement of the negro is
sue in this State is shown in many
ways:
First, by the open, emphatic and
repeated declaration Of prominent
Republicans that it is to be tested in
the courts and set aside.
Second, by the manner in which
Senator Pritchard clapped his hand
over his mouth and took to the tall
timber whom confronted by the di-
rect question from Senator Simmons.
Third, by such resolutions as the
following, adopted recently by the
Swain county Republican convention
1--WE denounce the Democratic
party of North Carolina for having
disfranchised 10000 white men by
the iniquitous poll tax provisions in
the so-called Constitutional Amend
ment."
The Haywood county Republicans
also denounced the Amendment after
hearing speeches from Senator
Pritchard and Ex-Congressman Settle.
Fourth, by the conniption fits that
the avowed Republican papers and
the so-called "independent" papers
are throwing over the demand of the
Democratic State Convention that
the Republican party define it's posi-
ton on the Amendment.

NATHANIEL MACON'S LIFE.
DR.. William E. Dodge Soon to Issue a
rlost Valuable Book.
News and Observer

News ana observer
DIR. William f. Dodd, professor Of
History in Randolph-Macon College,
who is writing life OF Nathaniel
Macon, is in the city, looking over
the files of old papers and other doc
uments in the State Library. He
expects to have the volume ready 10y
the first of the year.
1t will be most valuable work, in
many respects the most valuable ever
issued concerning North Carolina.
DR.. Dodd has devoted several years
to research in this matter and has
had access to many letters and
learned of many incidents in the life
of North Cardinals greatest states
man not before published.
His book will correct errors born
in partizanship which have been
handed down in North Carolina, and
which has had the effect in some
quarters of causing some people to
entertain an opinion Of MIR. Macon
which far underestimate his ability.
DIR. Dodd's book will not only estab-
lish Mr.. Macon's primacy among
North Carolina statesmen, but will
also contain a glance at the history
OF the State when Mr.. Macon's word
was law in North Carolina.
No other man has lived in the
State who exercised so great and so
lasting an influence and whose career
was as inspiring to all who believe in
the right and the ability of the people
to govern themselves. In a day
when Federalism and other forms OF
distrust in popular government pre-
vailed to too large an extent Mr..
MocOn's influence in North Carolina
was never broken.

LIKE A PATRIOT AND DEMOCRAT,

Louisburg Times.
The Wstauga Democrat of a recent
date has the following:
ut is currently reported in some
parts OF the county that Mr.. j. p.
Robbins will be an independent
Democratic candidate for the Legis-
lature on the anti-stock law ticket.
Mr.. Robbins asks US TO say that he is
no candidate, and that while he is
an anti-stock law man, he can not af-
ford to jeopardi re his party and sac
rifice his principles for such trivial
affair as the stock law. He says that
when he thinks of the possibility OF
Jeter c. Pritchard being returned to
the United States Senate this issue
dwindles into insignificance, and his
determination to support the nominee
of the party for the Legislature is
increased
The patriotism and honesty dis
played by Mr.. Robbins show the kind
of material of which he is made, and
he sets good example for every good
true citizen in the State, and one
upon which they should act in the
coming campaign. This is no time
for men who lay claims to respecta-
bility to be aiding the enemy by
either running as candidates or
"selling out" for office NOW, or .to
be cared for later"

WHY THEY DON'T COME SOUTH.
New Berne Journal.

New Berne Journal.
In commenting upon the great
amount of immigration going to the
Northwest, Southern newspapers gen
orally close with the query, why
don't the home-seekers come South,
where land is cheap and climate con-
diliOns are more favorable than in
the Northwest?
The answer to this is best answered
by asking the newspapers making
the query, what are the people Of
Your community doing to attract i'm
migration their way?
According to reports the influx of
home seekers and settlers into the
Northwest this year exceeds all pre-
vious records.
And these new corners are going
there prepared to meet all living con
ditions as they are buying land, the
price of this land having advanced in
the last two or three years, three or
four times in value.
The extent of this immigration
movement is best realized by figures.
which show that in sixty days, end
ing April 18th, more than 100000
homeseekers passed through St.
Paul, bound for the Northwest,
and that 1000 cars of freight also
passed through that city.
This great host of homeseekers,
with money to buy land, goods to
stock their homes, and energy, cour-
age and thrift to engage in farming
or commercial pursuits, means ire
mendous activity for the Northwest,
with great gains in values now exist
ing and prosperous times for that
section Of the country.
Southern sections may boast OF
soil and climate, but there is SOME
thing more needed than talk of supe-
riority, in order to gain the home.
seeker and settler.
Advertising and going after the
home-seeker and investor, is what
the South must do or else these PEG.
pie 90 to the sections which NAV not
have soil and climate so favorable,
but have the people with energy
enough to GO after and get this grea,
