farming. The large crops that are
now being made, he says, are made for
the most part by the land owners and
their children. The negroes are flock
ing to the cities and seeking other
than farm employment; on the other
hand the young white men who, by
their rush to the cities some years
back, overcrowded the stores and
other lines of urban business, have
been going back to the farms.
This will be a revelation to many
persons, but Mr.. Calhoun's statements
are supported by the New Orleans
States and other Southern papers.
Moreover, the State bears renewed
testimony to the efficiency as a farm
laborer of the Italian immigrants of
the peasant class who have been in
troduced lately ini considerable num-
bers into Louisiana, Mississippi and
other far South States to take the
place of the "shiftless negroes" These
Italians. says our New Orleans con-
temporary "have proved to be such
industrious and intelligent farm
hands, and their labor is so far SUI
perior to that of the negro in every
respect" that many large planters are
doing everything they can to get more
of them on their plantations to work
as employees or farm their lands on
shares.

A DisgracefuI Fight.
(Mt. Airy News.


1t is not often that two men are
ringed off and allowed to fight to the
finish. But such was the case in Drew
Hodges eating house one day last
week. Bart Patterson and Eugene
sDunnagan passed the d--n lie and
clinched. The crowd stood around to
see fair play. Patterson is a Samp-
son in strength, weighs about 200
pounds. Dunnagan is lightweight and
tips the beam at about $50, but he is
grit to the bone and strong as a young
lion. They fought like two mad bull
dogs, several times they clinched and
rolled about the room. Patterson was
losing wind and was sure to come out
second best, but be whipped never. So
he got out his knife and cut Dunna-
gan dangerous cash in the back of
the neck. The men were as bloody as
hogs when the fight was over. and the
room looked like a slaughter pen. The
police should investigate the case and
if the managers of that restaurant all
lowed this fight to continue to the end
as reports say it did without trying to
stop it, the town commissioners should
close up that place of business as a
nuisance. This is a civilized country
and no man should be allowed to turn
his place of business into a fighting pit
where mad men can eat each other up
if they want to.

Two Terms for County officers.

Two Terms for County officers.

'The bill introduced by Senator

would be better off today if men who
hold the offices of clerks, sheriff. regis

limited to two terms. Court house

many counties would be kept in be-.
ter shape. and county officers would
not have so good chance to prosper
at the expense of unsuspecting consti-
uents. In many counties the Demo-
cratic party tries to limit the holding
of office to two terms.

CANDIDATES SHOULD DEFINE
THEIR POSITION.

Public officers are public servants,
or as Mr.. Bryan put it they are "our
hired hands," 1t is for the people to
instruct their servants. Raleigh is
soon to elect a new BOARD of alder
men. During the term of their office.
the franchise of the water company
expires. Ninety per cent of the people
of Raleigh wish the city to own it's
water works. That matter must be
passed upon by the new board of aid
ermen. and yet because there is a
suggestion that no man who owns
stock in the present water company
or is indirectly interested in it. shall
and cry that an effort is being made
to "disfrancnise" citizens because they
have property! Some good men make
that statement but most of those who
repeat it are influenced to do so by
the men who wish men elected alder
men who will feel very friendly to
the water company and look out for
the company rather than the rights
of the city.
In another direction, but along ex-
actly the same line. there is discus
sion in Statesville. as the following
from the Landmark shows:
While the municipal campaign is
on the Landmark desires to submit
an issue for consideration. The Bell
Telephone Company wants to come
into Statesvilla and has boasted that
it will come in. At least SO per cent
of the people don't want the Bell here
Well, the remedy is in the hands Of
the people, Make every candidate.
especially the candidates for aldermen
state publicly and unequivocaliy how
they stand on this matter: if you don't
wart the Bell make them pledge them
selves not to admit it. If they don't
give the pledge turn them down
This is the remedy and the time is
now. If nothing is said about this
matter and the next board of alder
men should admit the Bell. the people
will have themselves to blame
The people of Raleigh wish the city
to own the water when the present
franchise expires. but they do not wish
to pay two prices for the plant. The
water company folks (most of whom
got their stock as gift or for a sonG)
wish. if the city buys, to make it pay
a big price for their stock which rep
resents not a dollar of investment.
1t is up to the people. If folks
close to the water works company con-
troll the Board of Aldermen, where
will the city come in?
The people will have to decide.

THEFT OF A STATE.

Not since the Republicans stole the
presidency in 1876 has this country
seen such a > high-handed and indie
feasible theft as the stealing of the
office of Governor of Colorado by the
Republican Legislature Governor
Adams was elected and was duly in
Quoted into office after hot cam
paign. Peabody. the Republican cam
didate, had declared martial law in
the State and had without warrant of
law or the semblance of justice de-
ported many men from the State for
no crime except that they belonged
to labor unions! The people rose up
and defeated him and elected Mr..
Adams, the Democratic candidate.
And now comes the Republican Leg
islature, robs Mr.. Adams of the office
to which he was elected and adds to
the disgrace of the theft secret
agreement that Peabody is to resign
and the Republican Lieutenant Gov
ernor is to be Governor of the State.
Think of it! The Colorado Repub-
licans probably reflect that inasmuch
as the men who stole the presidency
in 1876 were not punished they can
escape by stealing only a Governor
ship.

suited i'm a fight in which one of the
men was killed and the other desper-
ately wounded. There have been
several instances of trouble growing
out of one mill trying to get hands
from another recently. And it shows
very clearly that the cotton mill in

rapidly in the future as it has in the

ERA OF RAILROAD BUILDING.

The outlook for much railroad build
ing in North Carolina this year is bet
ter than it has been for decade. For
ten years the construction of new
railroads and the extension of roads
already built has been almost at
standstill, but there is every indica-
ton that there is to be a revival of
railroad building and that the most
thickIy settled sections between large
towns are to be connected by cleo
tricity.
The plan to build a railroad from
Winston-Salem south via High Point
or Lexington to Wadesboro or Hamlet
to connect with the Atlantic Coast
Line to Charleston has behind it men
who are in the habit of succeeding, at
what they undertake. They are conf
dent that the road will be built and
there is much enthusiasm along the
line of the proposed routes and unless
all signs fail that road will material
ize.
The Chatham Record says that work
is going on in that county on new
railroad. 1t says:
"The grading of the New Hope Val
ley railroad is progressing as rapidly
as the bad weather has permitted.
About twelve miles are graded and
about IT'S men are now grading, and
more laboferS are wanted. They are
paid sone dollar a day every Saturday,
and it is difficult to get enough of
them even at that price
In Moore county the railroad
from Sanford to Jonesboro is to be
extended toward Ellington. A big
lumber road is being built from Mt
Olive out into the lumber region of
Duplin county and other lumber roads
are being constructed. Some of them
are built with heavy rails and will
one day be regular freight and passen-
ger roads
Wake seems to be in the lead in
railroad building in Central North
Carolina. The road built by Mr.. An
gier and Mr.. Duke from Dunn to
Apex, Wake county, is to extend to
Durham to connect there with the
Southern, Seaboard and Norfolk and
Western. This will give Durham con-
AiCIliOh with oil lilOoC lCeiuo eLhd eiAoo
the Atlantic Coast Line. The Mills
road now running from Raleigh to
Ellington is to be extended to Fay
etteville thus giving a direct connec-
ton between the capital and that solid
and growing old town that is taking
on new life, and developing a splendid
section of country full of agricultural
and timber wealth. Work is progress
ing on the Raleigh and Pamlico Rail-
road that will connect Raleigh with
Wilson, Snow Hill, Greenville and
Washington. The management expect
to press the work actively this spring
and summer
In the West work is going forward
actively on the road through Mitchell
and Yancey counties to connect Marion
with pionts in East Tennessee.
These are some of the real and visi-
bic proofs that we have entered upon
a new era in railroad building. The
Legislature granted a number of new
railroad charters and some of them
will materialize. This means that old
North Carolina is moving forward and
that men with large capital are ready
to invest it here in transportation
