A GRAND STAND PLAY.
(Ashehnrn Conrier.l

(Asheboro Courier)
The Greensboro grandstand play was
made to delude somebody. The running
the negro delegates out of the convention
was a great farce intended to deceive
the unwary The frantic resolutions
passed by the negro delegates in opposi-
tion to Pritchard amount to nothing The
last one of these negroes are only trying
to get their names on the registration
books and then they will all be on hand
on election day to do the bidding of their
masters and vote against white men.
Trying to catch the unwary is the game
in endorsing the Democratic State ticket
excepting Clark and Beddingfield and
State Superintendent Joyner at Green's
boro. Pritchard is playing bold, daring
and dangerous game for himself and his
party. Everything is being sacrificed for
the Legislature. The return of Pritchard
to the Senate is the explanation of the
movements on the political chessboard.
Democrats are not mapping" The in
dependent movement only applies TO few
counties and amounts to little anywhere.

the representatives of the lowest element
of citizenship and what reign of law
Iessness and disorder followed. They will
remember how scandal attended the man

how on every hand there was pillage and
plunder Yes, yes, the people Will not

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
cleveland Starr


''Ingratitude is one of the baSest of
crimes" If this be true then the Repub-
licans should plead guilty to the "basest
of crimes with reference to their deal
ings with the negro at their State con-
vention in Greensboro last week. They
kicked out all negro delegates, duly lected
by the county conventions, in their places,
elected by nobody, save Pritchard and his
lilly whites" We believe in white con-
ventions, but it does look a little sorry
for the Republicans to drop the negro
the moment he is disfranchised after they
have used him for thirty years as will
ing tool to keep them in office.
The Republicans boast of their lilly
white" convention-the first convention
they have held in North Carolina since
the negro was freed that "Sambo" didn't
figure mighty prominently in it's delibera-
tions. But they certainly don't deserve
any credit for it, for. they fought in 1900
as never men fought before in bad
cause to prevent the Democrats from
adopting the amendment and thus elimi-
mating the negro from politics. The Dem
oerats, together with a few of the better
class of Republicans, deserve the credit
for making the Republican party a lilly
white" affair, if indeed, the party don't
fall from grace before the election and
be again found swinging on the Negroes
neck and trying to get the Federal au-
thorities to make North Carolina regis
trars place him on the registration books
We haven't great deal of faith in the
Republican lilly whites'-let's try EN- on
probation until after the election!
This Republican convention was daisy.
1t was the same old crowd of postmas-
ters, revenue doodlers and bung smellers,
together with some new recruits, such as
Bill Day, Harry Skinner, H. f. Seawell.

Warmer weather will tend to depress the mar

them on the market while the weather is cold.
Live poultry Of every description continues
scarce and sttf prices prevail Dressed tur-
keys are somewhat moro plentiful and moving
slow while all other fowls extremely scarce

fifteen days; in fact, not half enough are
coming to supply the demand. Stock peas are

peas are moving more freely and we look for a
much better market by the time another week

much more active, due to light receipts Green

LONG STAPLE COTTON
GROWERS TO MEET

GAINESVILLE, Fla, Jan 15.-The long
staple cotton growers of the state will
meet i'm convention tomorrow at Alachua
for the purpose of perfecting organization
and uniting with the Southern Interstate
Cotton Growers Protective association.
President Harvie Jordan, of the Interstate
association, has been invited and will be
present to perfect the organization.
The long staple growers in this section
of the state have whipped the fight for
better prices this season by cooperation
and now feel that by organizing on
strictly business basis that they will here
after be able to regulate the price of their
staple independent of the buyers.
The present plan under contemplation,
after organization has been perfected, is
TO build warehouses of sufficient capacity
to store their cotton and then undertake
to. sell direct to the long staple manufac-
turers, thereby saving to themselves the
profits which at present go into the pock-
cts of intermediate buyers.
The Farmers club of Alachua county
decided a few months ago to pool their
cotton, which amounted to 1900 bales, and
refuse to sell a pound Of it at prices then
being offered. which were seventeen cents
per pound. In the face Of the persistent
advice of the buyers here, that long staple
cotton would fall in price to fifteen cents
per pound in the near future, the hold
ers of this cotton stood firm and recently
offered the whole lot at twenty-one cents
per pound as their minimum price. A buy
er from Blackshear Ca, came downsand
closed the trade at the figure demanded.
BY cooperation an advance of five cents
per pound was secured over original prices
offered and a net sum of $4,000 gained
for the members of the club.
With a better system of handling their
cotton, perfected through general organ
ization. the long staple growers of the
state are determined in the future not to
part with their staple at a price less than
fits intrinsic value.
A big old-fashioned Georgia barbecue
will be given to the delegates attending
the convention tomorrow, and as a larger
attendance is already guaranteed a. royal
good time will be had after the business
of the convention has been attended to-
Alachua Is already the largest long staple
cotton market in the state, and with in
creased and better facilities for handling
the crop which are now in prospect, IT will
probably become one of the most import
ant markets for that staple in the south.

GENERAL DELK ARRESTED;
ESCAPES HEAVY SENTENCE

General DeIk. OF the famous Delk fam
ily OF Georgia criminals. was IN police
court Monday charged with creating
a disturbance on Marietta street last
Tuesday night. Evidence showed that he
was not at TIE dance at the beginning OF
the difficulty and that he had been called
BY his sister 20 get his brother, Jake, out
Of trouble. The fact that he went with
a pistol made the recorder impose a fine
OF S575. otherwise he would have gotten
on without a fine. The officers think the
witnesses were afraid 10 testify against
hln,.
There was some disturbance at the
dance and Deik's sister went home and
asked him 10 go and get their brother,
Jake. This he did. Jake has now disap-
peared. A shot was fired just outside the
house where the dance was being held,
but the officers were unable TO get wit
ness who would say the shot was hred
while General Delk was there.
Delk says his pistol has not been hred
in six months
General Delk has only recently hnisheo
a seven-year sentence in the penitentiary.
Tom. ,Delk, a brother Of General, was
hanged three years and a half ago for
the murder Of Sheriff Quinn. Of Pike coun-
tv. Taylor Delk. their father, is now serv-
ing a life sentence for completely in the
crime.

Murphv e. Co.'S Cotton Letter.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The market was again
higher this morning. Satisfactory cables favored
the bulls to advance prices g. to points. Re-
ceipts at ports were less stupendous and dwin-
died to about &C. 900, against $4,000 last year
Statistics were disregarded and there a
feeling that the market is going to be advanced
materially, not necessarily this week or next
but during the season, no matter what receipts
may be or what trade conditions may be. There
IS no inklng of what receipts will be, while the
general opinion is that trade conditions are
quite satisfactory more so than heretofore sup
POSED and good enough To prevent the bears
from securing any advantage for some time.
A reactionary movement of to points fol-
lowed the opening and the market ex-
tremely dull. Gables closed shade higher
Talk OF exhausted stocks was plentiful, but
the movement for the week was fully up to
figures predicted last week. The towns report
ing stocks from 20 to 80 per cent below last
year are numerous and there Is deluge OF
such advices pouring In day after day. 1t Is
contended that we do not hear from the towns
where excess stocks over last year are held.
1t is known that inquiries addressed to hun
dreds of places have elected responses only
from points where the stocks at present are
below those of a year ago. Now and then a
town turns up with receipts equal or better
than last year, but a large proportion Of the
inquiries elicit no replies whatever, and 1t is
contended that the silence is due to the fact
that the present stocks are 50 far in excess OF
lats year that II would not help the market
10 announce the fact at present
