Last Weeks North Carolina Crop
Bulletin.

Owing to the continued rains dur
ing the first half of the week, and
the wet condition of the soil after
the rains, very little progress was
made in farm work, especially in
turning over stubble fields, which is
now in progress. The delay, how
ever, is not serious, as the work
at the close of the preceding week
was well up, and both corn and cot
ton fields were clean and in excellent
condition. Harvesting of spring oats
continues with satisfactory results;
that of wheat is practically over, ex
cept in the exterme western part Of
the State. Corn and cotton fields,
except those damaged by washing.
have improved materially during the
week; squares are beginning to form
on the cotton plant, while the corn
is already beginning to tassel. The
squares are well filled and the out
look appears very promising. A
few correspondents in the middle
counties report hat some fields are
already commencing to bloom. The
yield of Irish potatoes is satisfac-
tory; digging is nearly over in the
eastern counties; sweet potatoes are
promising. Tobacco continues thrift
ty, although slightly damaged in
some places by worms. Peanuts are
making no improvement, and are
considered a poor stand. The pros
poets for fruit are excellent, except
for apples, which continue to drop
from the trees.

The Wireless Newspaper Arrives.

When the Cunard steamship Cam
pania completed her voyages between
Queenstown and New York last Sat-
urday Signor Marconi had made good
his promise that passengers crossing
the Atlantic would never be out Of
touch with the news of the world. By
means of his system of wireless teleg-
raphy, Marconi received dispatches
every day-either from the coast OF
Great Britain or of the United
States. When the Campania was g.
$50 miles from Liverpool a message
came from Poldu. on the. coast of
England. When Cape Cod was 1000
miles away the Marconi instruments
on the Campania recorded a fresh
item Of American news. Every day
a newspaper was published on the
steamship, giving an outline of the
most important news of the world in
the twenty-four hours.-Baltimore

Story Of the Seaboard Absorption Comes
to the Front Again.

That the Seabord Air Line Rail
way would ultimately pass into the
hands of the Frisco and Rock Island
Systems has been rumored for
months. Through the press it has On
numerous occasions been merged
with the companies in question.
There is at present a rrmor
among fnanciers and railroad men
which would put the Seaboard under
the control of the two great systems.
in less, perhaps, than six months
time.
The Frisco and Rock Island people,
as is well known, have been gradual
1y gaining control of the Seaboard's
stock, in large and small amounts,
and on every occasion that presents
itself.
They own at present a large share
of the stock, and the question that
decides the merger depends solely
on whether or not they will be able
to buy enough to give a controlling
interest or. if so, in what space of
time will they be able to do.
The Seaboard completes uncompro-
misingly with the lines of great sys-
TENS in the West, and the control of
the road would mean much to them.

The Secretary of State finds that
since 1900, when the present admin

have been granted than during all
the time previous to that date. Up

this fine showing.

Col. Odds: Inquiry has been made
as to how many persons would be
barred from voting in the State by
the Constitutional Amendment
Some leading men said they did not

negroes and about so whites. He
said that most of the whites who
were barred are Russian Jews, who
are naturalized citizens, but who are
illiterate. Another inquiry made was
hat a number of persons who failed
to pay poll tax, and so had disquali-
fed themselves; and in reply to this
question it was said that at least
10000. So here are a hundred thou

A BIG CLAIM.

With a strong and popular State ticket to aid in the good work the Republican national managers have reason to believe that there Is a good chance to carry Missouri for Roose- welt and Fairbanks, and they should do everything necessary to improve the opportunity.-Kansas City Journal.
 In the language of the day wouldn't that jar your slats?" The average Democratic plurality in that State for thirty years has been within a fraction of 42,oOo. Even when the Populists where cutting their widest swath, which was in 1892, the plurality was over 41.o0O. Just why any newspaper of ordinary intelligence should believe If any one really does believe it-that the State will reverse itself this year. especially on the national ticket, is one of the mysteries of Republican optim- ism. That the majority for Governor may be reduced is not improbable. MT. Folk has made himself unpopular with the boodlers and rascais generally. and 1t Is perfectly natural that they should support the Republican ticket, partly because that appeals to their kind and partly from the hope of thus wreak-

They don't any of them go far enough, if progress is what they are after. Why don't they put up a row of steel build ings along the middle of Dexter Avenue. there isn't enough room anywhere else for tall building use the street It Is broad enough to admit a row of fine buildings and leave room on each side for street cars and bicycles. Possibly wagon or carriage might squeeze by at d pinch. If not, let 'em go around some other way. What is looks, what is sentiment. what Is public conven- fence, when Progress with a big is looking for place to squat? Run a line of steel buildings up the middle of Montgomery's finest avenue and Mont gomery would be several laps ahead of even Atlanta. People would come from all quarters to see a street with houses in it.

ing revenge on the official who has done so much to break up their busi- ness and to put some of them behind the bsrs where they belong.
 We repeat that the conditions in Mis- souri may reduce the Democratic plu- rality. and 1t would really be a com piiment to Folk, for 1t would show that he is opposed by the worst element of his State, but we so no further. It is worse than absurd to suppose that this opposition to Folk will extend to Par ker. The Missouri Democrats are not of the kind to let a local fight turn their State over to a Republican Pres idential ticket, and especially such a ticket as is before them this year. The Journal, mindful of the Chandler order to 'cIaim everything" is making some large claims on small foundation. It might as we'll claim Alabama.

 Editor The Advertiser:
 I noticed in yesterdays Advertiser an article stating that Governor Cum ningham has under investigation the condition of the judicial system of the State, as effected by the recent decis- ion of the Supreme Court declaring the Lusk act void. Walker and Winston Counties are perhaps more deeply in terested than any other counties in the State. A peculiar condition obtains in these two counties. Walker and Wins ton were originally parts of the old Tenth Circuit. The Bankhead bill enacted prior to the enactment of the Lusk bill. and the Lusk bill merely recognizes the existence of that law and. hence. the holding the Lusk bill back under the Bankhead bill, but there Is no doubt that law Is void also on account of failure to give legal notice of an intention to introduce the bill. The legality of the Bankhead bill will not be passed upon by the, Su- preme Court until It's November term. but when 1t Is passed upon 1t is bound to fall to the ground. If the only eff feet of the declaring of the Bankhead bill void was to throw Walker and Winston back into the old Tenth Cir cult no great harm would be done, but there the trouble will just begin. Af- ter the enactment of the bill creating g the Fourteenth Circuit, which bill con- fers equity Jurisdiction on the Circuit court OI SdlO ClTCulI, IL was ulSCONeTeu that Walker and Winston had not been effectively taken out of the Northwes- tern Chancery Division. A notice was duly published of an intention to in- troduce q bill for that purpose. and proof that such notice had been given as the constitution requires was duly made in the House. This bill, so far as l have investigated, seems to have been legally passed by both Houses. to have been signed by the President of the Senate and by the Speaker of the House, and to have been duly approved by the Governor. In other words this bill seems to have been duly enacted into a law. Moreover this bill does not refer to the Fourteenth Circuit. It merely takes Walker and Winston out of the Northwestern Chancery Division. The old Tenth Circuit has no equity jurisdiction. If the Bankhead bill Is declared void, which 1t doubtless will be then Walker and Winston falls back into the old Tenth Circuit, but they do not fall back into the Northwestern Chancery Division. Hence Walker and Winston will be without any Court of Equity until the Legislature comes to- gether either in regular or extraOrdi- . nary session. c. D. II.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER II, 1904.
DIsCoNTENT AT THE NORTH.

The South is relatively so much more any section of the North that it is diff ficult for us to realize why the North, with no race problem and with the Re publicans apparently entrenched, that in so many States, so many people can be so actively debating the outcome of the Presidential election. The North of course with the enormous resources, financial and otherwise, is putting out a larger product than the South, but the point is, this output is not what it is in normally prosperous times; that so far from increasing with the growth of the country and keeping pace with the general development of the South and portions of the West, all over the North and East there are signs of com mercial restriction and in some quar- ters actual decay. Nathan Matthews, in his address to the Democratic State Convention of Massachusetts on Friday last, solemnly declared the industrial outlook for the whole of New England had never been darker since 1872. In the Middle States scores of the great est manufacturing corporations, em- ploying tens of thousands of working men. are running on what they term part time" three days In the week, or maybe four or five.
 Where these manufacturers are pro- tectionists they feel there is something wrong with the system that keeps so many wheels idle in the mills. even for themselves will probably cast their kvotes and use their influence for the Republican ticket, what will the work ingmen do, who is Idle perforce one two or three days in every week? What may We expect the non-manu- featuring classes, the professional men, the clerks. the merchants and the far mers to do? These have been assured by the Republicans that the RepubIi- can policy of protection not only made but secured a good, steady home mar ket for their services, or their goods How can the workingmen buy his usual amount of dry goods and groceries. when the mill where he is employed is running on short time?
 Whatever the result in November, there is one thing certain. The Re- publicans are not going to be able to hurrah through the contest at the North. The blatant bragging of Roose- velt's letter of acceptance has disap- peared altogether and he and his party are being daily placed more distinctly on the defensive.

THE pnospERrrr ARcUMENr.

One of the funny things in this cam paign Is to see how the Republicans, for want of something better, try to get credit for good crops. high prices and whatever of prosperity we have. The organs are especially busy at this kind of argument and they can ring the changes on 1t to their own satis- faction, we have no doubt. If they have readers who can be filled on that brand of swill they are easily pleased. Even if we may admit that the Re- publican Party is entitled to credit for high prices of farm products we fail to see how that should help them with the general public. That corn. wheat and all hog and cattle products bring higher prices is true enough, but that fact only benefits the comparative few who produce these things. and the in- finitely larger army of. producers is in- jured by this kind of prosperity. Where one is benefited half dozen are in- jured because of the advanced prices for all the necessaries of life.
 But the truth of the matter is that the high prices of food products are not conclusive evidence that the pro- ducers of these articles are the chief beneficiaries. The trusts which live and flourish under a Republican ad ministration get more of the profits than the producers do. They are the ones who are getting rich, and not those who toll to produce the bread and meat that all must have. If wages are higher 1t is a fact beyond dispute that the increased cost of living more than balances any increase in wages. That is one feature these spell-binders never enlarge on.
