new recruit is brought in or a weak annette
strengthened, the bar-keeper finds his profit ~
creased.
Lastly, the evil political influence of the So
loon should be considered. It is a creature Of ~
law and finds it necessary to keep the law and it,
officers friendly to it, if it is to succeed. Hence
the saloon has corrupted politics, intimidatod
candidates, and ruled public officials. In Now
York at this hour a powerful bar-keepers associa-
ton is e~xacting pledges from all candidates for
municipal Offices, threatening them with the
power of its army of dependents and it's vast
campaign fund, if they fail to do its bidding.
For these and other reasons, we believe that
Raleigh has chosen wisely, and that she has set
a good example for all other communities which
find it necessary to decide between the two forms

THE D1sPENsARY AND THE SALOON.

Raleigh now has twenty-four bar-rooms. The
triumph of the dispensary ticket in the recent
election means that these will be closed at the
end of the year and one dispensary substituted
for them.
In all our larger towns in which whiskey must
be sold in some form there are many good rea-
sons, it seems to us, for taking the course
which Raleigh has taken. In the first place, the
very extensiveness of the saloon system is an
element of danger. Twenty-four pitfalls are
more dangerous than one pitfall. To have the
temptation for drink put before a man at twenty
four different points in a town is much more,
dangerous than to have it confined to one point.
Moreover, this one point-the- dispensary-is
hedged about with many restrictions which the
saloon does not regard. The dispensary is open
only from sun to sun, but the saloon doors are not
shut until late in the highland probably the
majority of young men who become drunkards be-
gin by entering saloons after nightfall. The dis
pensary allows no treating or social drinking
within its walls, while this feature is one of the
main supports of the saloon. Loafng in the dis
pensary is forbidden, while the saloon becomes .
place of meeting and conference for all the
Worser spirits of a community. The dispensarv
manager is paid a fixed salary, and has no incen-
tive to make drunkards of boys; but every time q

THE STATE FAIR AND THE MIDWAY.

In many ways the State Fair last week was a
success. The weather was ideal, the crowds large,
and many of the exhibits were good. But it must
be said that the management did not live up to it's
promises of a clean, decent Midway. We suppose
they would say that they must have some shows
of the viler sort in order to draw a crowd, but
their course argues against this; for they take
pains each year to announce that gambling devices
and immoral shows will not be admitted. Then
there is the excuse that they cannot know in
advance the character of the shows that they Ii
cense. But they can tell the first day whether
or not they have been deceived, and they ought
to'have the courage to close up such exhibitions
Immediately. Finally, it is argued that the Fair
is not profitable financially and that it cannot
afford to lose the money obtained from these
shows. But there are seldom more than a half
dozen really Objectionable exhibitions, and the
life of the Fair certainly does not depend on so
small a revenue.
All this, however, has been said many a time
and has accomplished very little. It seems to us
that the Agricultural Society ought to appoint
a committee of sensible, honorable men to pass on
the character of the shows that are admitted.
Naturally the Secretary and the Treasurer do not
wish to take the initiative in Revoking licenses
that they have granted, but a special committee
would not be so much hampered in this repect.
We think, too, that the Legislature, before renew
ing it's appropriation, ought to take some steps
looking to a cleaner Midway; and it seems that
the heads of our educational institutions-several
of which send hundreds of pupils to the Fair each
year-might also use their influence here to good
advantage. We cannot believe there is any more
reason than morals in vulgarizing a generally
helpful institution for the paltry admission fees
of a half dozen miserable side-shows.

We observe that the action of Senator Sim
mons in protesting so effectively against the
rumored attempt to lynch the supposed murderer
of his father, has been very generally commend
ed in this State and other States. 1t is well. Mr.
Simmons was naturally laboring under great
emotion and a mighty passion for vengeance, and
yet he did not forget the majesty of law and
the necessity for upholding it under all circum-
stances. It takes a clear head to act on this
theory when the criminal strikes a member OF
ones own family, and yet it is forever true' as
Biship Gambler says, that "lynch law protects no
home, but does rather pull down the strongest aS-
Tense of all the homes in the Commonwealth
Our homes are sheltered by law, and they are nO'
shielded by la~wlessness.n

AN UNPLEASANT FACT THAT CAN'T BE Ex-
PLANNED AWAY.
Iheville Gazette-News:

Says the Asheville Gazette-News:
eve have to thank the Jonesboro, Tenn, COR
respondent of the Knoxville Journal and Tribune
for light on the meaning of the word ~illiteracv
as it appears in the statistical reports. We have
often wondered how it could be that 1872 people
out of every 100 we meteor maybe it is 1914,
we never can remember fgures-were miterate,
The correspondent referred to says the statistics
put down as illiterate those who are on the public
school lists, even though they may have finished
a course in these schools. The public schools do
not officially declare a boy or girl discharged and
cured of illiteracy until the age of 81 has been
reached"
Our Asheville contemporary has been badly i'm
posed on if it accepts this information as cor
rect. The United States Government does not
operate on any such absurd principles, and it is
the official census statistics which have been
quoted to show North Cardinals backwardness.
Every person, male or female, over 10 years of
age, who can read and write, regardless of school
attendance or non-attendance, is put down as lit
crate; every one over ten who cannot read and
write is illiterate. And whether or not the Ga
zette man meets them in his necessarily circum-
scribed sphere of operations, the fact remains that
when the Census of 1900 was taken three years
@SO1 ~ were 4GO,O10 WulC0 NOrGQ OarOIluIduS
over 10 years of age who could not read and
write; and 54,474 white voters who could not read
the ballots that they cast "a larger percentage
OF miterate white people and also of ~illiterate
white voters than in any other American State or
Territory save New Mexico, the land of Indians
and Mexican greasers.
This is no laughing matter. It is an estab-
Gshed fact that cannot be explained away, and
the sooner we quit playing the ostrich trick, and
turn to face and reform the situation, the better
for ourselves and for the progress and reputation
of our State.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

Let no conversation, no example, no fashion,
no witty saying, no silly desire to be above what
most knaves and many fools call prejudices, ever
cause you to avow, excuse, extenuate, or laugh
at, the least breach of morality; but show on all
occasion a detestation and adherence of it.
Always show yourself the friend, the advocate,
but not the bully, of virtue.-From Lord Ches-
terfelds Letters to His Son.

necessity of regular permanent organization of
the cotton growers, and the revival of the Farm
ers' Alliance was heartily endorsed even by men
who are not eligible to membership in the Order.
These occasional, irregular meetings are useful
for purposes of counsel and conference, but real
work can be done only through a more perfect
and general union.

THE COTTON GROWERS MEETING.

The CUTION MEEI1NG.
The convention of cotton growers called by
Mr.. T. B. Parker met in the Hall of Commons,
State Capitol, last Wednesday night, with a large
attendance, representatives of thirty-six cotton
growing counties being present. Mr.. E. L.
Daughtridge, of Edgecombe County, presided,
and the representatives of the press acted as
secretaries.
The convention first of all inquired into the
outlook for the cotton crop in North Carolina.
Calls being made for statements from various
counties, it was reported that this years crop
will equal about the following percentages of
last years crop. Beaufort, Is per cent; BladeR,
so per cent; Cabarrus, 100 per cent; Cleveland,
so per cent; Craven, Is per cent; Cumberland,
rs per cent; Duplin, 60 per cent; Durham, so
per cent; E~dgecombe, 80 per cent; Franklin, so
per cent; Greene, Is per cent; Halifax, sc 23 per
cent; Harnett, IS per cent; HEREFORD, 20 per cent;
Johnston, 20 per cent; Jones, go per cent; Lenoir,

W. Atwater, J. Bryan Grimes, Ashley Horne, and
others; and the convention finally expressed itself
in the following resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted:
"Whereas, from all the trustworthy informa-
ton at our command, the present cotton crop of
the United States will be a short one (not over
Is per cent of last years crop in North Carolina),
and will not be enough to meet the demands of
the trade, and in consequence of this shortage in
the crop the price must advance from the present
price; therefore be it
"|ResoIved, That this convention request the
cotton farmers of this State and the other cotton
growing States to hold their cotton for at least
a minimum price of ten cents per pound.
Second, That when holders of cotton find it
necessary to obtain money on cotton that they
endeavor to procure the same as collateral, not to
lbe placed on the market in a reasonable time for
less than ten cents per pound.
"Third, That a committee of ten be appointed
to confer with Mr.. Harvey Jordan, President of
the Cotton Growers Protective Association, to
consider the interests of the cotton growers of
the United States"

Opportuneness Of Watson's History.

Already The Constitution is recelN-
Ing congratulations ever its enterprise
in securing Watson's new History OF
the United States" and the right to
publish serially the first volume, en-
titled THE Life and Times of Thomas
Jefferson"
In explanation of this enterprise we
may further state that The COnstitu-
ton has realized all along that this
is the psychological epoch for the
great work which Mr.. Watson has I'M
dertaken One hundred years ago
Thomas jefferson, as president of the
United States, made the Louisiana
purchase from Napoleon Bonaparte,
emperor of France That purchase
now covers almost twelve of the great
est and richest states of the American
union. The expansion OF our CONT
mental territory by that master-stroke
of diplomatic foresight is to be sig
nalized by the holding in St. Louis Of
one OF the greatest of worlds fairs
that this globe has ever known.
The intense and widespread nation
al interest in that event, and its mag
nifcent showing of what Americanism
has done in a hundred years for a
region once plated in our own life
time on our national maps as The
Great American Desert Will tend to
create an enormous demand for lit
erature that will guide millions TO an
understanding of that purchase.
Since the publication of The Life
and Times of Thomas Jefferson will
be made in these columns during the
period Of the national interest in the
exposition, we confidently count upon
its being the most sought for publ
cation of the era. Mr.. Watson needs
now no introduction to the people of
America, either as statesman or his
torian. Those TO whom his name is
familiar viii have an eager desire to
read his portFayals Of the great leader
and follow the currents of events
through which he led the best thought
and patriotism Of the republic.
Those who are publicly concerned
In the living issues of American poll
tics pending a national presidential
campaign will find this new life Of
jefferson one of the most valuable
books to carry with them in their cam

They may be sure that nothing

Of queer insistence IN a claim secretly
