The following, which we clip from
The Charlotte Observer. is not only
pertinent, but revives an incident of
the past:
Ito the Editor OF The Observer:
why don't that squire at Raleigh
repeat his once famous mud-cut letter
and apply it t o the Mullet road? He
would be doing the state a far greater
service thereby than depriving litigants
of their lawful rights. DEMOCRAT.
Connolly Spring. April L."
And hat mud-cut epistle, like the
communication from the citizen from
Yancey" in 1902, was secret n strict
ly confidential as to authorship.
Also was there not a good deal in the
state papers a few years back about
the Chatham railroad bond swapping
affair? What was that. anyway? Is
not this another incident of the past"
which created much interest at one
time?

WINGED. This should have been done
long ago..
This property is q political machine
In the hands Of whatever party or a
ton Is In control OF the state govern
ment. 1t has been 50 for years. This
condition has continued because the
people took nc interst in and paid no
attention to the ann in which the
property was managed. Whether the
management Is nor open to criticism
now than it was ten, twenty or thirty
years ago, we do not know. and we
doubt IL any one else does. What We
do know though Is that h conditions
now existing. whether of recent origin
or relating back many years. should be

The Charleston News and Courier
issues its centennial edition. 1t is in
magazine form, large size and contains
one hundred and eight pages. 1t is
Of the handsomest special news
paper editions ever gotten out in the
south. and is full of interesting reading
matter, showing the progress in jour-
nalism and other inc of industry in
the south. There are many portraits
of prominent men who have been con-
nected with the public affairs Of the
nation in the past century Among
these is the portrait OF James Gordon
Bennett. ST., who was the first marine
editor of The Charleston Courier. In the
reading matter are articles relating to
every period of the country's history
and to every phase of the nations poll
tics. The main purpose of his extra
edition is not so much to show what
the paper has accomplished In it's cen
fury of existence as to illustrate the
advancement in all lines OF industry
in the south. 1t is a wonderful news
paper production. and we congratulate
The News and Courier on its success
in getting it UP, and the people Of
Charleston and South Carolina ON the
location of such a PAPER in their midst.

One of Middle streets enterprising
merchants received a consignment of
live ~bullfrogs from Hyde county yes
terday, which he exposed for sale in
much the same manner as chickens
are. 1t is said that certain epicures in
New Bern esteem frog legs as much OF
a delicacy as e the regular
"Frenchy." The raising of frogs for
market is getting to be quite a nice
industry in certain parts OF Hyde
county.-New Bern Journal.
There should be good profit in raising
bullfrogs for the market. especially
since a representative of the treasury
department has classified bullfrog legs
as dressed poultry" thereby bringin
them under heavy customs duty.
There is no better place for raising this
table delicacy" than on the swamp
lands of eastern North Carolina.

INDEPENDENT JoURNALIs1a.

The Raleigh Times has not much
regard for those papers which have
no independence Of thought. but
which feel that. in order to be con-
sidered SOUND on politics must all
way toe the mark laid down by
party bosses. We agree with il. In
order to be true to its party a news
paper e. not necessarily give up
all freedom of thought and ~indepen-
dence in expression OF opinion. A
man or a newspaper can be loyal to
party and at the same time criticise
any action OF the party which it
thinks wrong. We know there are
some papers and many people in our
state who differ with us on this point.
Some think that any person or paper
refusing TO endorse and uphold every
action Of party leaders or men elected
traitors and should be read out of the
party. Sometimes these succeed in
driving from the party men who real
~ are more loyal to it than they
themselves. but this is only for a
while. and there is sure to be a re-
action when the self-appointed party
whips carry the thing too far, and
then there begins an Investigation in
to their past party records, which
often turn out to have been more trait
orous in the past than that of the men
whom they are attempting % drive
from the party.
h Times says:
Mr. J. L. Ramsey gets out his first
issue of a weekly paper for the state
this week.
Mr.. Ramsey says his paper will
be thoroughly independent. The
time has been, and not so long ago
either, when, if d paper said it was
Independent, 1T would at once be
called republican by democrats, and
democratic by republicans. In other
words, there was absolutely no place
for n such paper in the minds of
those who stood for strict party or
g~anization.
THE feeling at this point is not
quite SO accurate. There are a num-
Der Of papers which are not SO labeled,
but which are, for the most, part indie
pendent in the policy they pursue.
No man who reserves to himself the
prerogative to think can edit what is
known as an administrative paper,
n by that we a paper that
stands by every act of such admins
tration, unless he has largely to do
with making it just what it is. If
an editor is prominent and active in
the ~counsels of his party he can
stand by everything his party does
for in so doing he is simply exploiting
his own ideas. But the man who is
shut out, and not permitted to enter
into the vail of the political temple,
where he can get the confidential
droppings Of the leaders, will not be
found opening on somebody else's
track, unless that is the best he is ca
pable of doing. A man who has brains,
courage, honesty and a sense of fair
ness and will make a paper in accord
ance with these principles will find men
VINO possess these characteristics
looking for it. The stand pat paper
is a stale loaf to the reader who is

sion of the congress OF the Daugh-
tiers Of the American Revolution.
Mrs. NJ. p. Tulloch. vice president
genera in charge of organization of

were organized during the year., an

The house passes the bill admitting
two more states to the MO We do
o think this measure will get through
the senate. The republicans in that
body cannot rush the Dill through un-
der a cloture rule. as they did in the
house. The democrats will hardly al
low it to pass in its present shape.
This bill would give the republicans
four more senator's n 1T least two
additional members of the house. The
haste with which the republicans
rushed this statehood bill through the
house after it became apparent that
Judge Parker waS to be the democratic
nominee for president shows that they
have grave apprehensions as to the re-
suits of the elections next fall. Judg-
ing by the last election, these two states
would be republican. Were this not
the case, the republicans of the house
would not have allowed the passage of
the bill in it's present shape. The states
are so grouped that the democratic
majority in either territory of the two
groups is overcome by the larger re-
publican vote in the other.
