THE RALEIGH AND DURHAM
ELECTRIC LINE.

Raleigh and Durham are just thirty
miles apart. Both are prosperous
growing small cities, separated by a
splendid country capable &C great de-
velopment. An electric railway to
connect these places would be or
great advantage to both and develop
the territory it would traverse. Dur
ham is the greatest tobacco town IN
the world Its cotton factories have
grown so rapidly that it takes first
rank among cotton manufacturing cit
les. In every way it has grown rapid
ly-not too rapidly for solidity-but
upon solid ground. 1t has built splen-
did libraries, great public schools, no
BILE college edifices and is educating
and developing brains as we'll as mus
Gle and skill.
Raleigh, older than Durham. has not
felt the stimulus of gigantic factories
whose product is in demand all over
the world, but has grown steadily and
conservatively. It's manufacturing es-
adjustments have increased, it's BUSH
ness has expanded and it has become
the chief educational centre. as we'll as
political centre of the State.
There are a thousand ties that bind
Raleigh and Durham. Many Raleigh
people made Durham their home in
its early history The two cities have
a common. interest and the welfare of
both would be promoted by the con-
struction of an electric road between
the two cities. Present transporta-
ton facilities are inadequate. 1t is
impossible for Raleigh man to go to
Durham to attend to even the smallest
business without losing a whole day.
With an electric line it would be easy
to go to Durham. attend to business.
and return in a few hours. 1t would
increase business between the two
places, and would increase the bust
ness in both places. The electric
road is the road of the future for
transportation between towns not
widely separated. In the North cleo
trio roads have given quick service
between nearby towns and changed
the whole system of transportation.
1t will come in the South. One great
need of this immediate section is an
electric line between Raleigh and
Durham 1t would be the first link
that would connect the State capital.
not only with Durham, but also with
the State University. the cotton mills
of Alamance, and the growing city of
Greensboro.

the prospect of an electric road uniting
Raleigh and it's flourishing Western
suburb and wish to do everything pos
sible to hasten the building of that

HANDSOME RECOGNITION.

The Chatham Record notes that
gold headed cane has been presented
to Mr.. r. H. HAYES by the 'fDemoc-
racy of Centre Township" in recogni-
ton of his services as county chair
man of the Chatham Democratic EX-
ecutive Committee.
1t was a handsome and deserved
recognition of the laborious, wise and
successful leadership by Mr. Hayes of
the Democracy of the closest county
in Central or Eastern North Carolina.
The Republican party in Chatham has
resourceful and shrewd leaders and
it has a rank and file that embraces
many of the rankest haterS of Democ-
racy of the State. He had the 'sineWs
of war" and the "needful' and plenty
of soap" and they worked day
and night. Opposed to them was a
militant Democracy. Under the leader
shin and wise supervision of Mr.,
Hayes, they won a splendid victory
and we may say surprising victory as
to the majority.

WHAT DOUGLAS PROVED.

| The surprise of the election was
! the success of Mr.. William l.
| Douglas as Governor of Mas
sachusetts. After the people recover
ed from their first surprise. the Re
publicans outside of Massa chusetts at
tributed the result to the local popu-
larity of Douglas and local or State
issues. But in this they were in error.
fThe Outlook, discussing the remark
able victory, says:
Mr.. Douglas made his campaign on
a National issue, and this issue had TO
do with reciprocity, the tariff. and
free raw materials. Mr.. Douglas made
his arguments specially applicable to
New England. He held that no cor
corporation was entitled to protection
so long as it sold portion of its pro-
duct abroad at a less price than II
sold the same article at home. He
showed that a recent purchase of
leather which had cost him $3.50, 900
had paid $4,000 duty and this had
to be added to the price of shoes.
He held that the tariff and trust ques-
tons were the same. He claimed to
have demonstrated that the people of
Massachusetts paid six dollars for pro-
they gained per capita. and that the
100000 homes in the State contribut-
ed $650,000 year to the protected
trusts.
"In addition to this argument, his
record for fair treatment of labor, re-
inforced by his rise from the ranks
of wage earnerS. made him strong
with the labor men of the state, with
whom his opponent, Gov. Bates, was
fnr
"The vote in Massachusetts, shows
not only how large number or
voters were ready to cast their ballots
independentlv, but also how large a
proportion of such voters are to be
found, not among people of wealth and
intellectual culture, but among the
plain people, Mr.. Douglass victory
is a caution. if not a rebuke. to such
as are infected with the pride of Gull
ture.
"In view of the national issue in
yolyed in Mr. Douglass campaign,
many Republican leaders are recogniz-
ing the force of sentiment in favor of
tariff revision"
If the protective tariff taxed Massa-
chusetts $3.50, OOO.000-and Mr. Doug
las proved his statement-the burden
is likewise heavy upon the people of
every Sldle III lile Ciiloii II ~
that there is crying need for reVis-
ion of the tariff in the interest of the
many who are thus burdened. If the
facts and figures, which Mr.. Douglas
presented with powerful force and re-
iterated in Massachusetts, had been
pressed home in every State in the
Union from the st. Louis convention
until the election. the people would
have been aroused to the Importance
of tariff revision.
The election of Douglas should be,
as the Outlook saws, a warning to the
Republicans as to tariff revision. But
they will make no revision that VIII
cut deep enough into the trusts to
benefit the people.

THE BATTLE OF PINE HILLS.

being Washington; it is gin'rel Booker
and they haint no Washington in his

the other fellows and war was de-

We respectfully call the attention
of our friend, the editor of the Raj

tial difference between our treatment
of the Methodist system and his de-
Tense. We printed with very little
comment a sympathetic report of
the working iof the system as given
in a daily paper. The Advocate dc

the subject let us assure the anxious
public that there is no hanger, no need
for a peace maker, rs a daily paper
would suggest. The editor OF the

general war. Our Offices have only a

officers of the News and Observer are
not in demand. That paper may
save the State as often as its sub
scription account advises; but the
church-God forbid.
The News and Observer did not
tender its services as ''peace-maker.'
1t merely expressed the hope that the
brethren would agree to disagree and
would not lead in religious rancOr and
rivalry. There's great work Cor the
churches to do. but UNCONVENTIONAL
controversy will retard that work. The
News and Observer helped to save the
state from Radicalism, RusselliSm and
RusselPs office-holders. And nobody
but Radicals or office-holderS sneered
at it. If occasion demanded, ii would
help to prevent religious rancOr and

that both editors can conduct any con

ton. urging them not to sell any cot
ton at present depressed prices, hut
to hold it until the meeting of the
Cotton Convention at Shreveport, La,
December 18th, 18th and 14th. 1t is
expected that many of the longest
headed cotton men of the South Will
attend that Convention and that plans
will be formulated that will point the
way out of the wilderness"
We also publish several other ar
ticles on the cotton situation by prom
inent farmers and mill men bearing
upon the serious situation that con-
fronts the whole South. for, though
there are many diversified industries,
it is still true that Cotton is King.

This recognition of differences among

the suffrage acts.
This is not Northern suggestion It
is, for example, the burden of a very
thoughtful charge delivered by Judge
Speer, of Georgia, TO a United States
grand jury the other day. He was not
speaking Of the suffrage. but rather
of utilizing the better element of the

was the error of treating the negro
as negro, without regard to the diff
ferences among them which really
exist, and which their better classes
are striving ever to make more dis
tinct" Such disintegration of the
solid mass of blacks is in the minds
of many in the cotton States. 1t might
be worked out gradually, however
slowly, through these very suffrage
acts, and it would enable the white
people, in time. to break their own
