AS if by magic they spring up
some to live, be happy and pros
porous, and some to run SIX
months, year, two years, and
then fade out-leaving only up
turned column rules and empty
pocket books. Another venture
in the journalistic field, another
newspaper to sing praises, an

and the willing subscriber-one
with the price. Bro. Edwin Long,
of Carthage, will soon launch his
newspaper, get into harness, as it
were and again tell those wicked
Democratic bad people in any
party, what poor laws they make,
and how foolishly they spend
public money. The Brother in

printed at Southern Pines this

Morgan New Controls the Seas
The Great Ocean Trust.

Wall Street, in New York, has
been surprised by the announce
ment that J. Pierpont Morgan
had succeeded in forming the big
gest steamship combination known
in the history of the world. The
London announcement was un-
expected, and many men are in
position to now declare that they
had no imitation that deal was
pending. Not only are British and
American lines involved, but two
German lines have been brought
under the agreement to work IN
harmony with the latest great
trust whose capital is one hundred
and fifty million. Under one
management six of the biggest
British American transatlantic
lines owning two hundred and
eight steamships have combined
in an ironclad community of in
terests." The lines involved are
the White Star, Dominion ey]and,
Atlantic Transport, American,
Red Star, Hamburg American and
North German Lloyd. The ab
solute control Of the trans Atlantic
merchant marine is thus placed in
American hands. The United
States will dictate the ocean
traffic.

anything would be done on the
lines he had urged. With regard
to possible Southern timber, he
mentioned Captain Price of Sails
bury, and Judge Bynum, Of
Greensboro, as excellent men for
such a position, and said there
were a number of the Southern
States worthy OF such an honor,
He repeated, however, that he was
in favor of no one man.
Outside of any political color, we
think the point OF giving the South
representation in the cabinet is
we'll taken Granting the fact that
Mr.. Pritchard would like to see
himself returned to the Senate,
we feel that an effort to have our
own section given proper repre-
sentation should be appreciated.

lation ignored when cabinet tim

SENATOR Z. PRlICaARD.
The Atlantic Constitution is
agitating the right Of the south to
be represented in the cabinet, and it
may be that results will be forth
coming.
Senator j. G. Pritchard, of this
State, has laid the matter before
the President, and in so doing,
has pointed out the fact ''that one
third Of the country, in point Of
population, is practically ignored
in the present makeup of the cab
met, and has also argued the i'm
possibility of the Republicans
gaining Roadway in the South
with such a Sc ctional line drawn"
He said that in urging the matter
he represented all the Southern
Republicans not only in public,
but in private life. While he had
friends whom he might urge for
such a position, he said that he
did not speak in the interest of
any candidate. In this connection
it has developed that Senator
Pritchard himself was once offered
a place in the Mckinley cabinet,
but he has told his friends that he
would not, under any circum
stances, take such place. He
still hopes for turn in the politi
cal tide in North Carolina which
will return him to the senate. tie
believes, however, that the ap
pointment of a Southern man to
the cabinet would increase his own
chances.
Senator Pritchard said after his
conference with the President that
it was impossible to say whether

that at present it would be necessary
to keep the locomotive works on their
present site. While Mr.. Harlow's offer

Prospecting forAnother Mandatory

Several gentlemen interested in 4
large mandatory were IN = xan.fia
yesterday gathering information III regard
to the prospects for starting a large
factory in lis city. They sought Mr..
NJ. b. HarlOY and that gentleman
escorted them to several points in the
city, explaining to them in detail the
facilities offered by Alexandria and
calling attention to the prosperous con-
dition of manufactures already in oper-
alton here. Mr. Harlow had previously
been corresponding with the strangers,
and the latter expressed themselves as
highly pleased with the city as well as
with its many advantages, and said that
should conditions follow which would
influence them in locating here they
would expect no more from the city than
had been accorded plants already here;
that they had the necessary capital at
their command, and that the only matter
which at present was an uncertainty with
them was whether or not they could
secure the help which would be required
in the mandatory they desired to bring
here. The work, they said, would be
light, and they would require between
$50 and 400 boys and girls, and it would
be necessary for them to be assured of
that number before locating here. 1t
seems that if this is the only difficulty an
inventory could be taken and almost the
exact number willing to take places
could be ascertained. Should the re-
CURED force not be found in Alexandra
the country contiguous to this city could |
furnish enough to make up the qnota.

Registration.

When the registration books closed
last night in the First ward, 70 names
in all had been entered-67 white and
colored. Seemingly but little interest is
being taken in the registration, and it
appears that good deal of misunder-
standing still exists in regard to the
qualifications of voter. Some of the
business men of the city have given as
their reason for not registering that, by
failure to do so, they will not be eligible
as jurors. This impression, however, is
entirely erroneous, as man may he 4
Juror even if he is not registered. 1t
may be said of those men, however, that
if any one of them were to be involved
in law suit, they would expect to be
given jury of good and capable men,
and would be indignant if this were not
done. They thus want others to do for
them what they are unwilling to do III
return. In the Second ward 81 names
have been registered up to date-oS
