A Case For Or. Hills.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
The new York papers bring us the
details of Il trace war; that is on i'll
Brooklyn, where DR.. Newell Dwight
Hills centers, and from whence he ir
radiates the earth. We feel sure that
he will thank us for calling his atten-
ton to the conflict which is raging
far below the eyrie from which he
looks out upon 1.-The barbarism and
intolerable race prejudice of this
Southern country.
A few weeks ago the white handlers
for the Export Lumber Company
went on strike for time-and-a-ha
pay, fOr.Over-time work. To supply
their places the company sent South
and employed a gang of negro lum-
bermen These latter had no sooner
gone to work than the strikers began
to make their lives miserable and to
and sundry kinds. -Four strikers
jumped on one poor cOlored brother
and beat him like he was bass drum.
They were arrested and pleaded that
they objected to having their Jobs
given to 'niggers"- they had been
given to white men they, the strikers,
would have had no kick coming!
That plea went. with the magis-
trate, who fined the chief thumper
50 and discharged his three assistant
nigger-punchers.
Now, if this does not present a case
for the active Intervention of DR.. Hill
lis, we are nonplussed to think Of a
more proper one. AS he was once SO
ready to receive negro as a guest
in his home and even to make up his
bed after him, why should he not be
equally ready to go down to the lum-
Der yards of Brooklyn and stand
substitute for the sable sons of the
South who are persona non grata to
the white strikers? 1t would end u
certain doubt as to his sincerity if
he would thus consent to be thus vi
carously pounded into pulp by the
husky and preiudiced fellow citizen OF
his town who do not like q "nigger. I"

Child Labor Exhausted For Fiction.
Baltimore Manufacturers Record.

Baltimore manufacturers record.
From a Connecticut literateur plan
ming to write il novel dealing with
"child labor in the cotton mills tie
Manufactures Record has received
n letter containing the following:
Il thought that with your help might
get into one of the mills where conditions
are at their worst and best and by work
ing among those children find out the
truth.
''Of course, any information you may
give me will be regarded as confidential.
and will not be used in newspaper arti-
cles or in any way that will reveal the
fact that | have been in a mill myself
If you can, will you tell me where in the
South the best place would be to 60 to,
and which mills are the ones which are
violating those rules for the children's
welfare that the best mills are trying to
enforce"
We referred this would-be realist to
Lowell, Mass, and Philadelphia, Pa,
where, according torevelations made
during recent strikes, he would find
not only the conditions which he
sadly imagines exist in Southern
mills, but also frame of mind, not
yet developed in the South, which
seems to be natural consequence of
successful ''child labor agitation
"a frame of mind manifested in n.y.
pocrisy and violation or evasion of
laws not having the support OF pub
lie sentiment.
We suggested these two textile cell
tiers for other reasons. Child labor
in the Southern mills has been ex-
hausted as field for fiction, either
Intentional or unintentional. During
the past three or four years reams
upon reams of hysterical romances
have been evolved for publication in
sociological magazines or yellow
journals by socialistic agitators,
masculine, feminine and neuter, by
sensation mongers and notoriety
seekers of one kind or another, to
say nothing of the plain fools who
have ventured into literature or ora
tory upon this line. The heights
and depths OF imagination have been
sounded, emotions have been ex-
hausted, the climax having been
reached when Mother Jones led her
"army" of "child slaves to call on
President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay
to the profit of an enterprising copy
seeking Philadelphia newspaper, and
publishers are, therefore, hardly in
the humor to consider seriously any
manuscript with Southern 'child
labor; as it's burden. Therefore it is
hoped that the Connecticut aspirant
in this direction will reconsider his in
tention and not waste valuable time,
energy and genius in using a corpse
as motive in fiction

The madness OF Money"
Richmond Times-Dispatcil.

'.Everybody's Magazine for Octo-
Der has made a new departure. and
instead of giving prominence to mil
lionaire captains of industry devotes
many of its pages to the expIoita
tons of men who have done brave
and patriotic deeds in other spheres
than in Wall street The lending ar
ticle in this issue is entitled. THE
Madness of Money" by Alfred Henry
Lewis, in which the writer makes a
merciless attack on the vulgar dis
play OF great wealth by which the
new generation Of millionaires has SO
Disguised the country. With singu-
lar directness Mr.. Lewis diagnoses
the madness which often goes with
much and sudden wealth, and ridi-
cules the gilded idlers who make up
the so-called american aristocracy,
to which Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish has re-
Gently called attention. The Times
Dispatch does not believe in attack
ing rich people because they are rich,
but the writer, who shows up their
vulgarity and excuses, is doing a
good work for public and private
morals.

Our Inland Waterway.
Raleigh Post.

X lleigh Post
With the approach of Congress in
terest in this most important enter
prise involving so much not only to
this State, but the shipping interests
of all the Atlantic States, becomes
more acute Since the last Congress
government engineers have surveyed
the route from Norfolk to Beaufort
harbor and are ready to submit their
report thereon to Congress. While
their conclusions have not been made
public, Congressman Small feels JUS
tilted in believing them to be alto
gether favorable.
That the canal attracts the sympa-
thy OF those of other States is indi-
Gated by the unanimous support
given the enterprise North as we'll as
South.
The necessity for the canal is thus
epitomized by the Baltimore Manu.
Acturers' Record:
l. 1t is an established fact that
Hatteras is the most dangerous
point on the Atlantic coast.
2. A large number of vessels I'M
dertaking to 20 by this point are
wrecked year after year.
2. An inland waterway of suffic
lent depth to take care OF the smaller
vessels would be utilized as a means
of avoiding Hatteras.
4. That there has been q revOlu-
ton in the freight rates by large re-
auctions since the use of barges.
). That in event OF war between
this government and any foreign
power the use and value OF such an
inland waterway is self evident in
the advantages that would accrue
by a protected and safe channel
| across the coast.
6. That the large increasing traf-
fic between the South and the North
demands the adoption of the cheap
est and safest means of transpOrta-
ton.
7. Public waterways place in the
hands of the people competition
that cannot be controlled by indi-
vidual or corporate bodies.
These arguments, for each state
ment above enumerated carries an
argument of great force, are con-
vincing and, as suggested, are ac-
cepted by the business interests
from Maine to Florida.
In view of the prospects for this
work Congressman Thomas will urge
such appropriations for Beaufort
harbor as will prepare it for the lar
ger demands which such canal traffic
will devolve upon it. The harbor
today has but two or possibly three
superiOrs on the entire coast, and
with the expenditure of the money
proposed by Mr. Thomas on the
outer approaches it will have no su-
periOr and fewer equals.
The canal and the completion of
the work at the harbOr are enter
prises that Congress can and should
provide for the winter, regardless of
the election next year. The business
of the country should have prece-
dence over pleasure.
And then with the completion of
the Raleigh and Pamlico road, all of
Central North Carolina will become a
seaport town.

Profit in Farming.

Rev. p. r. Law, in LumbertOn Robesonian.
Farming, all things considered, Of
fers the largest per cent. for invest
ment open among us for those who
would get on in the world most com
fortably and in the sweep of years
show the largest earnings. This is a
bold statement many may say. 1t
makes no difference, the statement
is true nevertheless. The South
raises three-fOurths of the Gotten for
the world, and for natural and mex
orable reasons will continue to do
SO. AS diversified farming is neces-
sary to the greatest success and is
now SO seen to be, that there is no
reason to think there will ever be so
large crop if it were otherwise prac-
tically possible as to reduce the price
to a point, it would not bring Il very
profitable price. We know no intelli-
gent farmer who has not come to see
that he can make more on money
invested in properly managed farm
ing than he can make upon any
other investment. He is now max
ing more than any other classes.
Cotton costs in normal farming five
cents pound to make it. 1t is easy
to see that the price it sells at yields
a great per cent. on the investment
During nine-tenths and more of our
whole history cotton has brought
ten cents or more pound. There
never were more reasons for it to
bring ten cents and over than now
Bears" have swayed prices more in
the past than they can in the future.
The great increase in population
makes the demand, and this, despite
the "Bears," will keep up the price
Diversified farming will more and
more be profitable and Indirectly
keep the price OF cotton up by cut
ting down the size of the crop. All
this, moreover, will enable the farm
er to get on with less negro labor.

THE PAUPER'S DRIVE.

Thomas Noel. author of the words OF
this quaint song, lived in a romantic
home on the banks Of the Thames, near
London, and among his songs Is pretty
one about that great river. The ldea OF
THE Pauper's Drive" was suggested to
him by seeing a funeral where the body
was borne upon cart driven at 1ull
speed The music of the song was com
posed by J. J. Hutchinson. Noel's words
are as follows:
There's q grim onehorse hearse in Jolly
round trot-
To the churchyard pauper is going, wot;
The road it il rough, and the hearse has no
springs;
And bark to the dirge which the mad driver
sings:
Rattle his bones over the stones!
He's only pauper whom nobody owns!
O, where are the mourners? Alas! there are
none;
He has left not gap in the world, now he's
Not a tear in the eye of child, woman, or
To the grave with his carcass as last as you
can;
"Kattle his bones over the stones
He's only a pauper whom nobody owns!
" nat IL !DItlnR ana CTfdklHR anu bPidnhihS
and din,
The whip how it cracks and the wheels, how
they spin.
How the dirt right and left, Ger the hedges
is hurled.
The pauper at length makes n noise in the
world
Rattle his bones over the stOnes
He's only a pauper whom nobody owns!
Poor pauper defunct! he has made some ap-
proach
To gentility now that he's stretched in a
coach!
He's taking II drive in his carriage at last;
But it will not be long, if he goes on so fast;
Rattle his bones over the stOnes
He's only pauper whom nobody owns!
You pumpkins! who stare at your brother
conveyed
Behold what respect to n cloddy is paid
And be joyful to think, when by death you re
laid low
You'vea chance to the grave like a 'gemman'
"Rattle his bones over the stOnes
He's only pauper whom nobody owns!'
But Il truce to this strain; for my soul it is
sad,
To think that n heart in humanity clad
Should make, like the brute, such a desOlate
And depart from the light without leaving u
friendl
Rattle his bones over the stones,
He's only a pauper whom nobody ownsp'

Personally we wouldn't care if
there should never be another stalk
of tobacco grown, but, from a finan-
cial point of view, We deem it folly
for our farmers to quit tobacco en-
tirely. The man that will cultivate
some cotton, tobacco, and plenty OF
corn, peas, potatoes, rice, etc, every
year, will be independent of every
body and everything except the good
Lord, whose are all good gifts.-Lum-

Women Entitled to the Protection of
Men.
Concord Tribune.

Says the Statesville Landmark:
1.-The women are as q rule the
weaker vessels; they are entitled to
the protection OF the men, and so
long as there is honor and virtue
and chivalry in Southern blood we
want to see the seducer, the wrecker
of lives and homes, whose touch is
worse than pestilence, branded with
the mark of Cain"
And if every newspaper and preach
err, every teacher and leader would
constantly keep this emphasized, Il
living thought before the people, it
would not be long before the ''brand
of Cain" would be upon every scoun-
drel who deserves it. We are too far
from this idea Of protection of inno-
cent womanhood and must get back
To welcome the unclean wretch to
oil that's best socially and cast Off
ruined womanhood is wrong and our
pretensions do not justify such &C
tiOns.

What May Be Expected.



When q man betrays innocent NO.
manhood and puts her to a living
shame and makes no effort to make
amends for it, a jury is not going to
be hard on the protector of the
woman who shoots down the man
who caused her downfall. Solong as
the man who blasts virtue, ruins
homes and puts innocent woman
hood to shame is recognized in soci-
ETY., let off lightly in courts and
passes as a gentleman, so long will
people secretly if not openly applaud
the man who shoots down the de-
spoiler OF virtue.

The Seaboard;s New Through Service

ATLANTA, GA, Oct 6.-Work is being
done as rapidly as practicable on the
completion of the Seaboard Air Line
Railways extension to Birmingham,
Ala, where a junction with the Frisco
System will be effected; thus opening up
the through traffic arrangement recently
affected between the two great railway
systems, the Rock Island and the Sea-
board. 1t has now been made clear that
this arrangement is an alliance pure and
simple and that it was negotiated with
out sacrificing the identity of the Sea-
board Air Line, as many declared would
be the inevitable result. 1t is now gener-
ally conceded that the Seaboard still
occupies its old position of absolute indie
pendence, save that it has effected a
traffic alliance with Rock Island interests
which will be greatly to their mutual ad-
vantage. With the completion of the
connecting link the two systems will be
greatly benefited. Meanwhile it is now
assured that there will be no change in
the management or presidency of the
Seaboard.

be assisted by ten others, and the nan
whose side scored the fewest new

the head of the opposing side. For
moe is wearing the new hat, and he
says:
Yes, l got the hat, and of course
it is a Stetson. The Bismarck Lodge
A.. o. U. w. is now the 9Th largest

test just ended resulted in securing

protected by the anchor and the

NJ. j. Mckenzie should be given the
credit for this remarkable increase as
he was the only n to accept my chal-

said; Get the hat and I will pay for
