The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-02-09

Vice-Presidential candidate, but we do not think
that it can be doubted that of all Western men,
Joseph w. Folk, the famous and courageous
young graft-fghter of Missouri, would prove the
most attractive name for second place on the
ticket.
In his negro policy, Mr.. Roosevelt appears to be
"moderating" somewhat as our North Carolina
folks sometimes say of the weather. He has ap-
pointed a white man to succeed Minnie Cox, the
celebrated negro post1nistress at Indianola, Miss,
and it is now rumored that he may appoint a
white man to succeed the negro Crum, whom the
Senate has persistently refused to confirm as
Collector of Customs at Charleston, S. c.. It is
to be regretted that President Roosevelt, a man
of much higher character and higher ideals than
the average public man, even the average public
man Of National prominence, has shown such ig-
norance of the negro's real needs and such stub
born folly in his treatment Of the race problem
generally. In this connection it is interesting to
note that practically all the Texas negroes paid
their poll tax last week before the expiration of
the time limit which meant disfranchisement,
while nearly $4,000 white men failed to pay.
This was quite a surprise. Maryland is wrestling
with the disfranchisemen problem, and will
probably adopt the grandfather clause"
The Price of Cotton.
The price of cotton reached high water mark
Monday and Tuesday of last week, but slumped
w~oefully when Daniel J. Sully, the bull leader,
quit the Cotton Exchanged for needed recreation,
and the decline was accentuated later by rumors
OF war between Japan and Russia. We are print
ing on another page Dun's report as to the pres
ent prospect of increased acreage, while our mar
ket figures give the price of the staple at the
opening of the market yesterday (Monday).
The Panama Canal Treaty.
The passage of the Panama Canal treaty is as
sured. Senator Simmons is of the opinion that
the majority OF the Democratic Senators will SUD-
port 1T. In a strong speech justifying his own
vote IN the matter, Senator Simmons said he be-
lleVed the President and the Secretary of State
should be relieved of all charge of completely in
the Panama revolt. He did not believe that the
OF information concerning an an
revolution should be accepted as dis
the statement of the President. and
added:
In entire Difference to the views of others on
this side of the chamber, who may differ with
IN this opionion, [ think that the statement
OF the President in this respect should he accent
ed. Undoubtedly the President knew of the forth
coming revolution in Panama. It was his dntv
IN view of imminent insurrection To hove ~ -

Of John G. Gipson Of Valley City ex-

he was the pride Of his father. Sever
al years ago deceased was appointed
cashier In the NJ. r freight Office at
Mandan and for time was acting
agent. He was SO efficient in his gen
Seral duties and executive ability that
about three years ago he was promoted
to be agent at Miles City. He was very
popular with employees and patrons of
the road, both on the Missouri and
Yellowstone divisions, and there will
be general regret at his untimely
death. While at Mandan he married
Miss Minnie Hawkshaw daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs James Hawkshaw, and

there are one or two children to mourn

He has also written for price lists and

still unknown. Mrs. Harris was sleep
ing on a bed in the lower part Of the
office, and wakened about 2 o'clock,
smelling smoke In the building She
thought she saw flames at the rear
end Of the BUILDING, some distance
from the stove, and it Is possible the
fire caught from the chimney. The
{ rear end Of the building and shed were
burned first. Mrs. Harris was able to
i save some Of her clothes and few
fles but nothing else. She gave an
alarm at once but the flames had OBJ
tanned such Roadway that It was i'm
possible to stop them. There was
1920 insurance on the bull ding and
plant which MI. Harris says repre-
SCENTS an investment Of S, 500.

ers Monday when they found a
portion OF the top to the hack
and one of the seats of the We.
hicle, on the road 8 miles south
of here, partially destroyed by
fire.
1t is thought that two sus-
picious characters, a man and a
woman, who had been hanging
around town several days prior
to the disappearance of the team
and who suddenly disappeared
the same night and in the same
manner as did the team and
hack, have appropriated this
method of transit to their own
uses for the purpose of getting
out of the country. Howard
Stephenson and Valcor Steen
left Tuesday in search of the
team but gave up the chase near
Plainview and started back
home yesterday morning. Sher-
if Uphold and Mr.. Money start
ed out Wednesday to see what
they could do in the search.

three miles down the shore of
the lake the next morning, but
although diligent search was
made by friends, neighbors and
relatives no trace whatever Of
the missing man could be found

At the time of his disappear

Booker 7. Washington Will
Send Dusky Men to
Blackjack Township.
HAS SECURED OPTIONS ON
LANDS NEAR THAT CITY.
Will Populate Territory With
Big Colony Of Negroes
Direct From South.

A prominent gentleman of this
city who returned Wednesday
from Blackduck gives out the in
formation that in the near future
Blackduck township will be
densely populated with negroes.
He claims that Booker T. Wash
ington, the great orator and
statesman, has already secured
options upon most of the lands in
the township and will soon close
a deal whereby he becomes owner
of them.
The negroes will be transported
direct from the southern states
and will be provided with cabins
in which to live and each will be
allotted a certain amount Of land
upon which toraise eatables for
subsistence. It is claimed that
Mr.. Washington's reason for
wishing to locate a colony in Bel
trami county is for the purpose
of education, as generally speak
ing the schools in the northern
states are much better than in
the south.
Blackduck people are stirred
up over the rumor and it is pos
sible that an organized attempt
to prevent the settlement of the
dusky people in that neighbour
hood may be made.
