operati on of the property"
These are words of wisdom, uttered
by men who have spent days and
weeks in full and thorough investi-
CATION of it's affairs. Gradually and
by degrees a valuable property has
been developed and built up between
Goldsboro and Morehead City and it
would be worse than folly, just as it
is ready to yield income to it's owners
to take fright at the false charges
made against it and be driven into
an ill-advised disposition of it. 1t
only needs for the State and the
stockholders to stand together and
be firm in a united purpose to make
wise disposition of the valuable
property. If good proposition to
lease it, which is well safe-guarded
and backed by ample security is made
it should be accepted. Until then the
errors which have been pointed out
should be corrected-and corrected
at once-and the road run with care
and economy.
AS to the fitness and character of
the men who made this investigation
and report: r. r. Gray, Esq, an able
lawyer; Mr.. Henry A. Page, practi-
cal railroad man; and Mr.. w. T. Lee,
a successful merchant-all men OF
ability and of the very highest char
acter. Surely no honest man will
say that these men did not report all
things truly as the facts appeared to
them.

Judge Robinson in the Wrong Camp.
Charlotte News.

Charlotte News.
Judge Robinson, with his Irish
straightforwardness and the OBJ. in
the middle Of his name, is evidently
in the wrong camp. He refused with
some picturesqueness of language not
long ago to eat dinner with a negro
even though it was the Republican
National Committee that was having
the dinner, the special remark being
that the Judge considered himself n
gentleman. A little later he refused
to give any color to the ISLANDERS OF
AycOck which W. H. Day fathered in
his appeal for his conspirator-clients.
He remarked then that he and Ay-
cock both came from Goldsboro
where they raised honorable men.
And yesterday in the Republican con-
vention he dared to defend the integ-
rity of Governor Aycock against the
mOutbings of the partisan slanderers
in that body and was roundly hissed.
We notice also that his name was left
off the list of delegates at large to the
National convention and the report
is that he is to be punished for that
unseemly conduct in refusing to eat
dinner with negro by being left off
the National Committee. All right.

Sam Jones on the Dispensary.
Raleigh Post.

Raleigh Post.
A Methodist minister sends to the
Morning Post, with a request to pub
lish, the following item clipped from
the Epworth Era:
"Rev. Sam P. Jones has been in
South Carolina investigating the dis
pensary system. His Judgment is
that it fails in every one of the par
ticulars in which it was believed that
it would be an improvement over the
saloon. 1t is a worse ENHANCEMENT
of the liquor question with politics;
it is a greater, and therefore more
dangerous, source of revenue than
license; it does not diminish, but
probably increases the amount OF
liquor consumed
It is far from this paper to feel
bound to endorse any expression OF
opinion from Rev. Sam Jones; but in
copying the foregoing extract it is
impelled to say that many good peo-
pie OF Raleigh, who are sincere tenn
perance men, have serious doubts of
the value of the dispensary as a
means of promoting sobriety. 1t is
well within the limits of truth to say
that many who gave their votes in
favor of the dispensary did so with
grave misgivings. 1t is no secret
that some who we're strongly antag-
onistic to the saloon regarded the
dispensary as a doubtful compromise
but they voted for it as a choice be-
tween two evils as they understood
it.
Six months after the opening of
the dispensary is too soon to de-
nounce the experiment as a failure,
but it is interesting to take note Of
the fact that the public is not sat
| isfied that it is an unmiXed blessing.
We started out with the idea that
only the best men in the community
should be entrusted with the control
and management, but it was not
long before one who was employed in
the dispensary resigned under pres
sure of appeals to his conscience as a
| Christian man. About the same
time strong ground was taken open
ly in one of our city churches against
It's members having anything to do
With the dlSpenSary. III unlS view ol
| the matter should be taken general
ly in the community it would place
those who were originally the sup
porters of the dispensary in an atti-
tude of opposition to it, and the nat
ural consequence would be to leave
it friendless in it's infancy.
From an observation of the results
OF the dispensary in Raleigh it can
not be affirmed that it is an entangle
/ ment with politics or that it has in
| creased the consumption of liquor
It may be asserted positively, how
ever, that the experiment has not
been altogether satisfactory to its
friends, that those who opposed il
have not been converted, and that
some OF it's original supporters have
shown an unexpected GOODNESS to
ward it; but after all it remains to bt
said that the increased revenue te
the city is regarded as n favorable
argument, while tile early closing
feature is considered IL redeeminr
feature.

The Color Line in Religion.
Atlanta Constitution.


The refusal of the general confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church, at Los Angeles, Cal, to have
one of the eight new bishops elected
by that body a negro, after special
agitation to that end and a plea for
such recognition by the negro dele
gates present, has peculiar signf-
cane in pointing a moral as to GER
tain federal appointments in the
South
The northern wing of the Methodist
church, be it remembered, was the
pioneer of abolition and contributed
it's full share of the spirituality that
inspired the Harper's Ferry raid. Al
ter the emancipation the cOlored
"man and brother" who emigrated
to the North was pretty generally
welcomed to communion and full fell
lowship in this denomination, with
out discrimination as to race, color
or previous condition of servitude.
He was permitted to worship in the
''mixed" fashion so dear to his heart,
with none to molest or make him
afraid
For a generation the negro has
| been a factor in the membership of
| the NOrther Methodist church, and
it is not, therefore, surprising that
he has grown in grace and boldness
to the point of asking race represen-
tation on the episcopal board. The
Los Angeles conference had bishop
RIGS to burn, so to speak, and natur-
ally the imam and brother felt that
the time was opportune to advance
his claims. Some 200 negro dele
gates, representing thousands of ne
gro members of the church. modest
ly asked for one of the eight new
bishops.
Did they get him? Not much!
Here was one place where the con-
ference felt constrained to draw the
color line, and it was drawn without
reference to how the man and broth
er might feel about it. There is no
room in the northern Methodist
church for bishop of color, no
matter what the claims of the race
for such recognition or the attain
ments of one of it's member for the
office.
The moral is simple enough. The
Caucasian will rule, whether in church
or State, and there are headlines OF
public opinion and race pride, even
in religious organizations, beyond
which the children of Ham would
, better not venture.
The same principle and spirit ap-
ply to the appointment OF negroes
to political office in the South, the
difference being that in this instance
our white brethren at the North are
) too quick to favor the foisting of a
negro official upon southern citizen
ship against the protests of our peo
pie. They either have not the abili
ty to put themselves in another
place, or are destitute of the breadth
of mind and heart that would scorr
to impose an indignity of the kline
upon the people unable lawfully tC
prevent such humiliation by the ap
:, pointive power.
! Perhaps the action of the Los An
1 geles conference will have whole
? some influence upon the color ques
5 tion as applied to politics as we'll a

What the Farmer Should Learn.
Portland Oregonian.

The farmer must learn to place
cash value upon his own time and
labor and know where they are ex-
pended and what result they pro-
duce. He must learn to think OF the
dairy COW as a machine for manufac-
turing clover, ETC., into milk-a ma
chine that will do it's best work when
kindly treated, sheltered from storms
and fed a balanced ration. The
small plots of idle ground should be
made to produce something that
will sell in the market or supply the
family table. The products OF Or
chard, garden or grain field should
be turned into pork, mutton or poul-
try, while everything that can serve
no better purpose should if possible,
add fertility to the soil. Rotation OF
crops should make summer following
unnecessary and $1Oworth of apples
should not be lost for the want of 81
worth of spray.
