The Socialist Democrats
Say it Reached Six
Hundred Thousand.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Nov 12.-Leaders of the
Socialist Democratic party are author
ity for the statement that Eugene V.
Debs, the party's candidate for pres
ident, poIled over six hundred thou
sand votes in the recent election or
more than four per cent. of the total
vote, according to story to be pub
lished by the World tomorrow. Four
years ago Debs received 97,730 votes
for the same office
Party leaders say over 100, 200 Debs'
votes were cast in Illinois last Tues
day.
In speaking of the division of the
vote among the leading States, the
secretary of the Socialist Democratic
party says in a statement:
The States showing the greatest
ratio of increase are Illinois, Ohio.
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania,
Michigan and California. The news
from Washington estimates a large In
crease, but no figures are given. The
only decreases are reported from
Massachusetts and Colorado, the vote
in the former State being half of that
cast in the State election of 1903.
illinois gives 100, 200, New York.
10000; Ohio, Pennsylvani. Wisconsin
and California about 10000 each and
Minnesota, Missouri, Indiana and Iowa
between Is, 600 and 10000 each.
Massachusetts. Michigan, New Jer-
sey and Washington give from 10000
to $4,000 each; Kansas, Nebraska,
Idaho, Utah. Oregon, Montana and
Texas from 5000 to 10000 each;
Maine, Maryland. North Dakota, OK
lahoma Kentucky. Alabama, Arizona,
Connecticut, New Hampshire. Tennes-
see and West Virginia SHOULD give
from $500 to 5000 each.
Arkansas. Colorado, Delaware,
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi Ne
vada, Rhode Island, Vermont. Vir-
ginia South Dakota and Wyoming
give from 800 to 1,500. The two Car,
olinas together did not give more
than 500"
Debs made a good run in New York
City Although the official tabulation
has not been completed returns at the
Bureau of Elections show that Debs
got 1854 votes or less than three
per cent. In Connecticut he polled
$500, in Rhode Island 500 and in Yer
mont TAI.
iubileet banquet is to be rendered
Mr.. Debs in this city next week.

NEGRO WON PLACE
Hon. ]. Nj. M eekins Denies
Discrimination Against
White Mail Carriers.

Hon Isaac M. Meekins, late Repub-
lican candidate for Lieutenant Cover
nor has been taking a hard earned rest
in Raleigh since the close of the cam
paign. MI Meekins was too smart a
man to take his candidacy seriously
and while he changed few votes he
raised an oratorical breeze wherever
he went that was distinct divesion.
Tn fact he kicked General Apathy
down stairs and put the Democrats to
work. being to that extent, positive
aid to the candidacy of Governor
Glenn and Judge Winston. While, as
most men who talk well on their feet,
Mr.. Meel<ins occasionally got hot in de-
bate he did not carry his choier OF
the stump on which as grand stand
PLAYER he was a frank and humorous
success.
When seen yesterday, however, Mr..
Meel<ins was inclined to be serious in
the matter of the published charge
that he had appointed six negroes as
mail carriers in Elizabeth City, be-
cause he said that the white men
could not read and write so well. The
article referred to appeared in the
Duplin Journal and was reprinted in
the News and Observer Friday.
II want to be set straight on that,
said Mr.. Meekins yesterday, land SIM
ply state the facts as they exist Free
delivery was established in Elizabeth
City, n. c., August list, 1904. Appli-
cants for carriers had to stand civil
service examinations. There were
nineteen applicants to stand the ex-
animation, there being five negroes
in the number When the papers
were marked at Civil Service Bureau
in Washington. ID. c., a negro stood
at the head of the list, white man
next q negro third, and negro
fourth and then a white nan next and
so on Under the civil service rules
| had to select one negro carrier, and
any other postmaster would have been
compelled to appoint the negro just
the same. All men who have knoWl-
edge of the postal laws and regula-
tons of this country know this state
ment from me is true. OF course the
Journal may not know these things
just as it knows not many other things

TALKING ABOUT COTTON.
The Farmers Are in Position TO Hold
Their Cotton.

The North Carolina farmers are
not rushing their cotton to market
these days They seem to be determ-
med to wait until they get ten cents
a pound for it, And now comes Col.
Harvey Jordan, of Georgia, president
of the National Farmers Congress,
advising the farmers to hold their
cotton for twelve cents. In their
latest cotton letter j. H. Parker q
Co, thus give their views;
big crop estiamteS continue to be
issued, but they have little effect upon
prices inasmuch as they are not ac-
companied by aggressive short sell
ing. Southern Spot markets keep
firm, and are still much above a parity
with the contract market. Our re-
ports are all to the effect that there is
not evidence of weakness, and that
the demand for spot cotton, at least
on the part of exporters, continues on
large scale, and that the demand
will be active for the balance of this
month. Recent reports are also to
the effect that domestic consumers
are buying more freely than at any
time this season. The most notice
able feature Of the week is the decided
falling off in the interior movement,
and this, at the close of the week, has
caused a covering movement and the
hardening Of prices. The movement
next week viii compare with very
large movement for the same week
last year, and it is expected to fall far
short of it, and we think it likely that
further advance in prices Will take
place. SO long as the general public
remain out of the market, tluctuat-
ing market is to be expected, but we
can see no basis for material decline,
and believe that purchases should
be made on all recessions. In the
face of the most fattering crop re-
ports and big crop estimates from
the South, as we'll as by professional
operators here the market during
narrow limits. and has shown surpris-
ing strength in the absence of buy
ing support. While this has been go
ing on, the crop movement has been
large, exports have exceeded those of
last year some 100000 bales, and
an unusually large quantity of spot
cotton has been sold and marketed
throughout the cotton belt. 1t may
naturally be concluded that there is
now no further pressure upon the
farmer and country merchant to rush
the balance of their holdings on the
market. but, on the contrary, they are
now in position to control prices for
the balance of their crop. and we be-
lieve they have the intention and
aDlHly TO 90 50. mere Will continue
to be a wide diversity of opinion as
to the outcome &C. this crop prior to
the issuing of the government report
on December 3rd next, but we are
still of the opinion that the tendency
now is to eXaggerate the size Of this
crop, and that subsequent events will
prove it to be only a moderate one.
In any event, the consumption viii
be on such large scale that there is
no likelihood of anV material decline
from the present level of prices, re-
CARELESS of the size of the crop, and
we strongly advise buying on all re-
cessions. 1t is conceded that the stock
of goods of all kinds at the present
time is quite limited.
