The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1904-12-08

Last year when cotton WEE high
the Democratic papers said the
mill men could not afford TO Jay
the price and many of the mills
would have 10 close down. And In
their mind this Was d terrible coll
diti0n OF Affairs. They didn't secgI
10 realize that the farmers who had
cotton TO sell were reaping q rich
harvest. In the last few days The
price vi cotton has dropped and
these same Democratic papers now
see starvation staring the farmers
in the face. There are TWO reasons
why the price OF cotton has been ON
the decline tor the past lew days.
over one million more bales have
been sold this year than mad been
sold at the same date last year.
This lush of cotton Oh the market
has naturally caused the price of
cotton TO decline and a few days
ago the government report was is
sued showing all increase in pro-
ductiOn OF over one million bales.
Notwithstanding this fact we see
no reason why cotton should not
bring better price than at present.
In our opinion the surplus cotton
has been sold. The mill men have
bought very little cotton, waiting
for the price to drop. 1t the tar.
mers rush their cotton on the mar
ket now, they of course will not
get good price, but in our opinion
if they hold it until spring it will
bring much letter price than at
present and we would be surprised
if they did not receive ten cents tor
it by March.
1nis article is not intended to adj
wise farmers to hold their cotton
unless they take The same view Of
the situation as we do, we have
simply given our opinion.

A correspondent OF the Raleigh
Post says:
ave don't believe there is a
single Democrat in the South, we
know there is not one in North
Carolina, who would hold federal
office under a Republican Presi-
dent"
Where have you been? There
are democrats in the city Of Raj
eigh holding Federal jobs, and there
are others in the State. Under Nc
kinley Democrats held some of the
most lucrative positions in several
OF the Southern States. The only
way to keep the average Dem ocratic
politician from holding Office is not
to give him one.

Some Democratic papers say that
farm implements and mules have
increased in price and they are try.
ing to hold Mr.. Roosevelt respon.
slble for it. But In this they are
mistaken, as usual. The increase
In price has possibly been caused
by the demand for them, by the
Democratic pie hunters who expect
ed to hold Office under Parker. but
since Nov 9Th, have decided to re-.
turn to the farm.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Roosevelt's message was
read in both houses OF Congress
Tuesday. We are sorry that We
haven't room to print his message
in our paper this week, but it would
occupy about twenty columns. and
we haven't that much room in this
issue. The message is written in
the Presidents usual strong and
convincing style. He speaks on
vital questions in no uncertain
sound. 1t begins as follows:
"The nation continues to enjoy
noteworthy prosperity. Such pros
perity is OF course primarily due to
the high individual average of our
citizenship, taken together with our
great national resources; but an i'm
pOrtant factor therein is the work
ing of our long-cOntinued govern
mental policies. The people have
emphatically expressed their ap-
prevail of the principles underlying
these policies, and their desire that
these principles be kept substantially
unchanged, although of course ap.
piled in a progressive spirit to meet
changing conditions.
Further on, in his message the
President recommends to Congress
the enactment of law against
bribery and corruption in federal
elections. On this subject he says:
1.-THE power of the government to
protect the integrity of the election
Of Its own officials is inherent and
has been recognized and affirmed by
repeatd declarations of the supreme
court. There is no enemy of free
government more dangerous and
none so insidious as the corruption
of the electorate. No one defends
or excuses corruption, and it
would seem to follow that
none would oppose vigorous
measures to eradicate it. re-
commend the enactment of law
directed against bribery and cor

An occurrence at Clemson Col-
,eee OF unusual and sensational IN
teTest is thus described BY all eye
witness:
There has just been erected at
the college Aag-pole, eighty-slx
feet high. Recently one OF the BOYS
took up a collection and had a tag:
fourteen. by twenty-one feet: OF
the Stars and Bar" made. and the
afternoon of March - at o:3o'
while the college band played "D1N-
;e" and amid the cheers Of the un-
covered FIVE hundred Clemson
bows. the flag OF the Conicderac!y
was raised. It was lowered after
dark and the companies marched
to the pole from reveille this morn
ine. and again the flag was raised
amid the cheers OF the Clemson
corps.
1t sayed until 9 o'clock. when the
commandant, who is a Northerner'
ordered it taken down. The boys
had it down and hid before his OF
ders could be obeyed. Immediate

~ after release from quarters at
the morning inspection, however,
all of the boys went to the flag pole
and were raising the flag for
the third time. The command
ant came out OF his office, caught
hold OF the rope and ordered
it lowered. But in spite q
his protesrationS and his placing
one boy under arrest, the flag was
raised.
The flag t1oated proudly till after
church. when the comn1andant
made a speech in which he said
among other things: BOYS. | don t
blame vou for l1onorins the flag
Your fathers and grandtatherS
fought ior. Three cheers for the
flag OF the Southern Confederacy.
Three cheers were given with a
vim in which the minister, the fac
;1ltv and tie ladies joined heartily.
Continuing he said: But the South
proved that there was only one flag
in 1898. Boys. there's no use talk
ing. we have the greatest flag on
the face OF the earth to day. And
now | want the band to play Dixie
while we lower the Stars and Bars,
and then to play the Star Spangled
Banner while we raise the Stars
and Stripes" =,
So while the band played Dixie
and while the boys stood with un-
covered heads sending forth cheer
upon cheer, the flag Of our fathers
was lowered and the flag Of our
forefathers and our flag was raised.
Three rousing cheers were given
for old Glory and then three for
the commandant.

The society women OF Washing

Mrs. WadsWortl! WOneil OF

for this facinatins Lentell diver
sion. When she informed her
friends a few weeks ago that she
had a surprise in store for them no
one suspected that two natives OF
Japan were en- route across the Pa
cifc to fill professional engage
ments in Washington as instructors
in wrestling classes for the rich.
The sensation waxed even great
er when the two Japanese arrived
and proved to be almond-eyed
maidens of great beauty. The!
brought with them credentials OF
the highest order from the royal
family of the Flowery Kingdom, in
which it was set forth that the bear
ers were the most famous of all the
women wrestlers of Japan.
Society sent up three cheers tor
Mrs. Wadsworth for getting dis
tinct novelty in this imported talent,
and all the women Of Washington
are on the anxious bench to learn
whether or no they will be invited
to Join Mrs. Wadsworth's wrest-
ling classes.
The most correct Japanese cos
TUNES will be adopted for the
wrestling classes, and the Countess
,Cassini's fencing fad and Mrs.
George Howard's Turkish bath
leadership are both threatened.
At Mrs. Wadsworth's n1agnlh-
cent home. Oh Dupont Circle, the
Japanese craze is in full flower.

Naturally the elef are all agog:
and at the Metropolitan. Army and

deal of enviouS talk is gong on. all
because this latest exercising 1%d
seems to be exclusively for the NO

1t is more than likely that the

appealed to to produce something
in the masculine line to offset the

thought to the husbands and the
