TAKE EVERY PROBATION.

The condemnation and closing OF the
Academy CT Music in this city as menace
to human life was a most proper step.
In viewing the circumstances 1T is really
wonderful to consider that it was sub
rnitted to as long as it has been.
The determination of the Auditorium
Company to make the building safe one
is to be commended, but it should be
made thoroughly so and haste in the mat
ter should not be INDUCED in at the cost
of safety. No delay is called for, but
every caution possible should be used and
when the house is again ready for use
let the people understand that as far as
possible there has been every precautlon
possible taken to prevent a single life
being sacrificed.
The action of Chief Woollcott of the
Fire Department should not stop here.
He should see that in every case the pro-
visions of the city ordinance with regard
to fire. escapes is complied with and that
every building in the city more than two
stories high. used as lodging house, fac
tory. meeting hall, dance hall CT any
place used by a great number OF people,
shall have sufficient fire escapes erected
and shall be in such a condition that
escape can be made from them in time of

TIA king About Cotton.

To the Editor: Your editorial OF recent
date under the heading of 'The Blessings
of High Cotton impressed me so taV-
orably as being so timely and full OF WIS
dom that would like to grasp your hand
and congratulate and bid you God speed
for our manly straightforward course,
not only in this instance, but IN all ques-
tons that are now agitatiEg the minds OF
the people. I have long been watching
your course with ever increasing inter
est, as a fearless exponent OF all queS-
lions that directly or indirectly concern
the great masses Of our people. 1t would
indeed be blow to North Carolina jour
nalism and to the whole South, II from
any cause your brilliant career should be
cut off Surely as you grow IN years you
grow in wisdom. Long may you live to
champion the rights of the people.
Now, in regard to the article referred to
on another page, you hit the nal 50
square on the head, and presented such
a sensible and practical remedy that |
think every cotton farmer in North Caro-
lima and indeed in the whole South,
should thank you for it, and the cotton
mill men of the State, who are now Sc
riously considering the curtailment of the
output Of the mills should do as you have
wisely suggested: bring about change
of base and advance the price of the manu-
featured product, and let the price of raw
material remain as it is for the inevitable
law of supply and demand will always rule
prices Cotton is none too high for far
mers TO make decent living. L think
they are justly entitled to such. They
would much prefer to pay a higher price
for cotton goods when the are getting a
fair price for their cotton. They feel en-
couraged when they know they are getting
fair return for their labor, and it fosters
love for their State, a love for their
calling and a respect and revenue for the
laws OF their country as nothing else could
do. Very respectfully,
