THINKS COTTON WILL GOHIGHER

The Atlanta Constitution prints the pic
ture of Mr.. G.. Wood King, a farmer who
lives at Cusetta, Georgia, whose faith II
high priced cotton has been we'll rewarded.
When cotton was selling at from four to
five cents MI. King sold only 125 of his
1000 bales, holding the balance which he
sold in May at a good price. He still has
his last years crop on hand.
Mr.. King was asked if he would sell
what he had left at 1872 cents. He re-
piled that if he had it in Columbus he
might do so, but would not stop his ploWs
now to haul the staple to the station at
this price. Mr.. King has studied the cot
ton situation closely. He says 1T is his
opinion that the price of cotton will go
much higher before a great while. and that
the prospects for a large crop were never
poorer than now.
1t is always unsafe to make predictions
about the price of cotton, but Mr.. Kings
happy experience would seem to give hun
a better right to do so than is enjoyed
by those who usually think they know all
about what cotton will do.

SHOULD NOT PERMIT IT.

The news that Greensboro Femade Col
lege the oldest woman's college, save one
in North Carolina, may or Will close its
doors, is not pleasant reading. 1t has
a history that is honorable. 1t has been
like a city set upon a hill IN Womans
education in North Carolina. Is that
light to go out?
The owners Of the college, who have
generously conducted 1T at a personal
loss, offered to turn it over to Trinity
College at the commencement Of that IN
stitution this month for SIS, 900, the
exact amount of the debt There was
strong sentiment in favor OF having
Trinity conduct the woman's department
at Greensboro and the mems department
of the college at Durham. But the trus-
tees decided not to accept the PROPOSE
ton.
The Methodist hosts in North Carolina
ought not to even contemplate losing this
institution. with its history, It's equip
men, It's possibilities and a president full
of faith, enthusiasm and broad culture can
make It grow into a great and prosper
Gus institution.

VOTES BETTER THAN VIOLENCE

The international Prcssman's Union, in
session last week at CINCINNATI, was
largely attended. 1t was famous chiefly
bv an address on The Trades Unions of
To-day: What Of their Future?' by Mr..
John t. Moran, a snowy-haired delegate
from New York, who spoke strongly
against force. strikes, violence, declaring
that votes are a better cure than vio-
lcncc." The Keynote of his speech is
contained in the following extracts:
''Shall it when the sacred ballot box IS
put before it remain supInc and a slave
to tradition, a slave to partisan prcjudIces,
instillcd during the last three decades,
or shall act as one great army? Shall
it support the men who stand for the
advancement of labor. who stand for the
education of the humble young, who
stand for living wages and decent hours
for the toilers Of the land?
1T is my belief that the duty trades
unioni9m owes to itself at this time is to
ing through the ballot box for a ~restora-
ton Of the principles laid down by the
fathers Of this ~country-equal rights to
all; special privileges to none.
"Our duty IS to appeal to the ballot.
Strikes are to be avoided whenever pos
sible. Violence is never TO be countc-
nanccd by the true friend of union
labor. We have the means of cffecting
a peaceful political revolution

LABOR AND CAPITAL TOGETHER

The Georgia Bankers Association, and
the Georgia Federation of Labor met last
week on the same day, the first in Atlanta
and the second in Macon. They both rep
resented the two component parts of in
dustry and progress, each being dependent
in a large sense upon the other. A pleas
ant even was the interchange of telc-
grams between these organizations. Here
are the two kilograms:

TWO JUDGES COMMENDED.

The people do not wish bloody judges.
They do not want judges controlled by
mawkish se~ntimentality. They wish lust
judges who Will execute the law without
fear and favor. Judge Shaw has held the
courts OF Mecklenburg this spring and has
held the scales evenly, Furnishing gamblers,
plstol-toters, and ~brawlers when convicted
IN accordance with the law, declining to
put a premium upon their particular law
l~essness by ''suspending Judgment on paw,
ment of COSTS What is the result? Il
IS here stated by the Charlotte News:
" think it nothing less than due
Judge T. J. Shaw to say that the thank.
OF Charlotte and Of Mecklenburg county
are given him for his upright and imDar-
tai conduct during his recent terms Of
court held here. The people appreciate
he worth OF a just and able Judge. He
has added a dignity to the courts of JUS
1ce and INDICATED the majesty of law.
The community always breathes easier
when IT feels that it will get justice with
out sale, denial OF delay.

terms Of Guilford Superior court this

do not care to enter into the dis

many times each has been summoned

Very truly,
w. R. ALLEN.
As to the gentlemen quoted, we cannot

not one OF the gentlemen quoted lives in
Raleigh. They may have been
and some kind-hearted Superior Court
Judge, in a mistaken idea of his duty,
may neXer nave been placed in the jury
tox. That is certainly true of preachers be-
cause they are excused from jury duty.
But, independent Of the case of any
Judge Allen is pertinent. There IS too
great a disposition upon the part of men
of position and influence to shi:k the duty
OF serving on %juries, the most important
puDIlC service Wn1cn any man can rem
der.
Many of the best men In every county
dodge jury service. We were greatly aston
ished a few days ago to hear a Superior
Court Judge say that a certain rich bust
ness man in a western county told him
that he had an arrangement by which
his name was kept OF. Of the jury box
and by which the sheriff was not to call
on him to serve on a juror, and the ar
rangement had existed for years. Think
of it, A man deeply interested in seeing
that justice is rendered plans to shirk
his highest public duty. And more that
that, he cOnsplres with sworn public Off
Gals to assist him in lhus escaping. We
think there are few such deliberate
perior Court Judge, quoted above, avs
that the names of many of the best clti-
Zcns lns not a few counties never get IN
the jury boxes at all, from one cause
IN every county ought to see to 1t that
the names of not a single good citizen
IS excluded from the jury. Ii they fail
in this the grand jury should indict the

who complain most loudly against such
miscarriage are themselves to blame for
it because they shirk their plain duty.

! service has a right to criticize the I'D
ministration of justice. The answer to
him IS Thou art the man responsible
| for the evil complained of. Most men
who escape this duty do SO thoughtlcssly
and most Superior Court Judges who OK
cuse them do SO without rejecting that
they are assisting in defeating justice.
But the fact that 50 many good men have
lost much of their falIu III the admins
! t1ation of justice should cause every good
man to be willing to make sacrifice to
| serve OH juries when summoned. Superior
Court Judges can do more to correct this
evil than any other agency. They should
refuse to excuse jurors except when alb
solutely necessary; they should see that
county commissioners place the. names OF
all good men III the jury box; and they
should create d public sentiment that
would trown upon shirking jury service
The press can help them powerfully in
| doing this, but they must be firm, rcso-
lutte and lead the way.
