THE COTTON MILL VOTE IN
NORTH CAROLINA.

A Raleigh correspondent of an East
ern North Carolina newspaper quotes
a prominent Democrat as saying
1.-The cotton mills make Republicans
everywhere"
Let US see about that. In Stanly
county. so it is said, most of the mill
employees this year voted the Repub-
lican ticket. If that is true of Stanly,
that fact does not warrant the gener-
alizaton 1.-The cotton mills make Re-
publicans everywhere.%
Another prominent Democrat
made this hasty remark recently:
Wherever the owner of cotton mill
is a Republican, the operatives vote
with the Democrats; wherever the
owner is a Democrat, the operatives
vote with the Republicans" That
conclusion was drawn from the vote
in two counties, and it is not warrant
ed by the facts in the great cotton
mill counties.
Both these prominent Democrats"
have jumped to a general statement
from two Isolated instances, and the
vote of the cotton mill people does
not warrant the conclusion reached.
The greatest cotton mill counties in
the State are CASTOR Mecklenburg Al
amance, Durham, Guilford Richmond,
Rockingham, Cabarrus, Rowan. Ran
dolph, Cleveland Catawba, Wake.
Cumberland Staniy and Lincoln.
In every one of these counties the
Democrats won the election. except in
Stanly. Most of these counties give
the biggest Democratic majorities of
any counties in the State, and their
majorities have increased as the num-
Der of cotton mills has increased.
What counties in North Carolina
give the biggest Republican majori-
ties? They are Madison, Mitchell.
Yadkin, Sampson and Wilkes. There is
not a cotton mill in either and few other
mechanical industries. The illiteracy in
those counties is the highest in the
State. While there are as good peo-
pie in these counties as are to be
found anywhere in the world. the
majority by their votes seem to prefer
liquor stills whose only producteiS the
"rectified essence of damnation," to
cotton mills and other like industries.
In every campaign in North Caro-
lima, somebody gets out a canard just
before the election that 'all the cotton
mill men are going to vote the Re-
publican ticket" and some people are
silly enough to believe it. When the
votes are counted. it is always found
that a large majority of the cotton
mill men, just like a large majority
of men in all other callings vote the
Democratic ticket. They vote it as
men, not as employees. There are Re-
publicans among them as among mer-
chants, railroad men and men in other
occupations. Unfortunately some
folks in every calling can be fooled
into believing that a protective tariff
is q blessing-that the way to get
rich is to cry high taxes on everybody
for the benefit of the few. But there
are not many cotton mill men in North
Carolina who accept that fable.
Those people who try to classify
politics by trades, professions and call
ings show that they understand little
of what guides men in their politics.
1t will be a sad day for this country
when men vote ~ their callings and
of hair r1incinlaS

If the latest plan is carried out, the
National Guard Of the State of Maine
will have a two weeks tour of duty on
the banks of the Hudson, sometime
during the coming summer or fall,
probably in September. There have
been SO many schemes proposed and
given UP that the Guard hardly knows
whether to place faith in this latest
two regiments will come into camp in
Augusta, as in the old times, and make
the most of their stay here.
The latest plan is that of Major
General COrbin. and it is said to have
the approval of the secretary Of war.
Adjutant-G Farnham has not as
yet received any official information on
the subject, but indirectly he has heard
details Of the plan, and sincerely hopes
that it will be carried out. The plan
provides for the mobilization Of from
1000 to $4,000 regulars and National
Guardsmen, in Orange county, n. Y,
on the banks of tho Hudson, Grange
county borders on the New Jersey line.
and West Point is within it's limits. SO
that the cadets would also participate
in the encampment.
The plan is to secure for the use Of
the troops a tract Of land some So
miles long and miles wide in that
county, and divide the troops into two
hostile armies. which would maneuver
as in actual war. 1t would be alto
gether different from last summers
war game at Portland. which was real
ly a naval affair. in which the army

Corbn's plan would include the Regu-
lar troops in the East and National
Guards of the six New England states
and also those Of New York. New
Jersey and Pennsylvania. OF course.
the National government will pay ali
TRANSPORTATION and subsistence. and
pay the officers and men Oh the regular
army basis. Adjutant- General Farm
ham is enthusiastic over the idea and
hopes the plan will materialize. and no
doubt the officers and men Of the
Guard in Maine will feel the same way
about it. Such enCampments and
manenvers as these are infinitely more
help to the Guard than any old style
encampment Of the two regiments than
within the limits of the State could be.
and they are also of less expense to
Maine But Augusta is sorry to see
the soldier boys assemble elsewhere.
