The protest of the South against giving
the illiterate negro unrestricted suffrage
could get no hearing in the sectional hos
tility that dominated in 1868. Time al
last sets all things even. The North il
admitting today, as Tourgee did years ago
that giving the negro the ballot was a
great blunder. Almost every day some
representative man or journal speaks out
plainly in support of the Southern posi-
tion. A. few days ago the Providence Or
ID Journal said:
Most assuredly the experiment failed
No denial will or can obliterate that fact.
The negroes were not then and are not
yet fit for the suffrage 1t is inevitable
that they should be deprived of it, and
any attempt to oppose the efforts of the
South to find constitutional means IL
eliminate them from politics will in the
end, be of no avail. 1t will do no more
than complicate and postpone the inevita

GAMBLERS IN FUTURES.


Charleston News and Courier.
In his annual address to the Southern
Cotton Spinners, at their convention in
Charlotte last week. President George B..
Hiss expressed the opinion that both pro-
Queer and manufacturer are injuriously
affected by the manipulation of the cotton
market by the cotton brokers. He thought
that IF the cotton manufacturer could
arrange to buy his years supply of raw
stock by making his purchase during the
period covered from September / to De-
cember / of each year las is largely the
case with our foreign competitor) there
would be but slight opportunity for the
manipulation to juggle profit out of the
few hundred thousand bales not taken up
by these purchasers"
The annual cotton crop of the United
States is about 10000, 900 bales. 1t is esti-
mated that between 80,000,000 and 100,-
coo 900 bales are bought and sold annually
in this country. The gamblers get the
difference between the actual crop and the
crop of futures" There ought to be
some way to squeeze the manipulation"
out of the market, so that the price of the
staple could be regulated by supply and
demand.
Probably Secretary Cortelyou will be
able to devise plan by which the new
Department of Commerce can control the
cotton market in a way. Some strong
hand is required to protect the cotton
growers and the cotton consumers from
the commission houses and bucket shops.
The laws which have been passed making
il misdemeanor to deal in futures ap-
pear TO have been altogether inadequate.

With the planting of the Ivy, the Sen

trip over the G. and N. Railroad be-
tween Lenoir and Chester, the Yorkville
Enquirer says:
There has been pretty general inn
preston that the Carolina and North
western road is under the control of the
Southern; but it will have to be confess
ed that this impression is based on in
ference rather than on actual knowledge.
1t is fact that the road is under the
ownership and control of people North,
and it is believed that the yare holding
it mainly as a speculation. Among the
points of interest that have been picked
up by outsiders with regard to the Caro-
lima and Northwestern road is the alleged
fact that it handles at least $500, 900 worth
of freight per annum for the Southern
That is the Southern gets this amount
out of business it annually receives from
the Carolina and Northwestern Railroad.
Another thing of no less significance is
that the distance from Charlotte to At
lanta is just sixteen miles less by way
OF Llncolnton and Chester than by Monroe
and Chester. That is, if the Seaboard
could get to Atlanta by way of Lincoln
ton and Chester instead of having to go
by Monroe and Chester as now, it could
save sixteen miles. Then again, it is not
more than thirty miles from the northern
terminus of the Carolina and Northwest

Seaboard is now without coal fields on
its own lines. These suggestions are all
interesting and they may develop into

JUDGE BOYD SAYS RATES MOT
UNREASONABLE"

In his decision in the case of the Dan
vile shippers VS.. the Southern Railway, in
which a Vice President of the Southern
Railway swore the property was worth
$4,000 a mile and the secretary swore
it was worth mot less than $4,000 a
mile" Judge Boyd held that the rates
charged the Danville shippers were mot
unreasonable Everybody knows, in de-
termining the question whether the rates
are unreasonable or not, one of the ele-
ments is the valuation of the plant. All
of the courts hold that the railroad is
entitled to a reasonable return upon the
value of its plant, and therefore the more
valuable the plant the larger the rates
allowed to be charged, provided such
rates are necessary to bring in a reason
able income.
The Southern Railway has furnished tes-
timon3 that makes the task of the Cor
pcration Commission easy in assessing its
property for taxation. 1t might assess it
the vice-presidents swore it was worth,
but perhaps the fairest assessment would
be $4,000 a mile, the sum that the Sec
rotary and many other railroad officials
swore was its minimum value. If the
Southern Railway should contest the
valuation of $4,000 mile it would have
to prove that its vice president, its sec
rotary, and a DOH Other railroad ex-
perts had sworn to a lie.
Think of it, taxpayers! The Southern
Railway is now paying tax in North
Carolina on valuation of $19,55S.OS when
its vice-president says it is worth $1,000
a mile, and its secretary says it is worth
not less than $4,000 NILE
