MR.. ERWIN'S RESOLUTIONS.

But for Mr.. w. A. Erwin, OF Dur
ham, one of the most important mat
ters for consideration by the southern
industrial parliament would have been
s%idetracked. Some Of that body did
not seem inclined to take any action
on the question of relieving the de-
pressed condition of the cotton manu-
featuring industry in the south. The
effort to prevent discussion OF this
matter and to postpone action on Mr..
Erwin's resolutions until the mex
meeting was defeated by the strenu-
Gus endeavors of the introducer OF the
resolution and it's friends. No more in
portant matter came before the meet
ing, and it is surprising that there
should have been SO much opposition
to it's discussion and the adoption Ci
the resolutions. The department CT
commerce and labor of the federal gov
eminent was the proper source from
which to look for aid in securing in
creased facilities for our foreign trade
in the products of southern cotton
mills, and the most sensible way to Sc
cure its assistance was by appealing to
the president for his countenance and
help in the matter. We believe Mir,
Roosevelt will nearken to the appeal
and will do what is in his power. Mr..
Erwin's remarks, when speaking to his
resolution, regarding the president
were timely and appropriate. He was
not at that meeting as a partisan and
party man in opposition to the presi-
dent and his administration, but as a
representative of a leading industry of
his section of the country which need
ed assistance along a certain line. He
believed the country's chief executive
was the proper person from whom to
seek aid and that Mr.. Roosevelt was
a man who would heartily endorse any
plans for securing relief and would do
all in his power to help them. Why,
then, should not Mr.. Erwin speak just
as he did and the convention adopt
the resolutions as he had drafted them?
We would like to know what was he
real object in attempting to postpone
this whole matter?

Bears must be plentiful in Martin
county. They have been destroying SO
many hogs in one neighborhood of late
that the farmers gathered for a hunt
one day last week. They succeeded in
killing two, n of them weighing two
hundred and sixty-ive pounds. Will
liam c. Ellis, a 12-year-old boy, has
the distinction of having brought both
of them down with shots from mis- rifle.
The Williamson Enterprise says it
will back Ellis against any one, Mr..
Roosevelt not excepted, when it comes
to killing bears.

Mrs. Mary E. Hoblit, 250l Clinton,

"My son suffered for three months with
catarrh of the bronchial tubes which
threatened to become very serious. The
doctors advised that he seek a more

Peruna as a specific fol- lung trouble he
decided to give it a trial before he left
his family for an expensive journey
among strangers. For six months he

GOVERNMENT

The Washington Post says that if it
believed the people of this country were
prepared for such a departure from
sanity and safety, from traditions and
presidents as the government owner
shop of the railroads it would think the
end of the republic was a at hand.
That is putting il mighty strong, but
we do not think The Post need have
any fear hat the end of the republic
is near at hand if such catastrophe is
rot to occur until after the railroads
OF the country pass into the possession
and ownership of the government.
The statement was made before Sen
atOr Elkins' committee the other day
that the people were becoming more
and more accustomed to the thought of
government ownership and that it was
because they We're losing faith in the
senate as the protector of their rights
and interests. 1t is highly probable
about this proposition. 1t wolld be
strange We're such not the case, with
50 much being printed in the press and
said by public speakers, both pro and
con, on this subject. But that does not
necessarily mean that sentiment in ia
vor of such ownership is increasing.
There might be many converts to the
new idea and still no danger of its ac-
cOmplishment. We do not believe
the time will ever come when the ma
jority of the people will favor the own
ership of all the railroads of the u
try by the government
With the rapid development of the
railway system of this country and the
continual increase in railway mileage
the value of the railroads is increas-
ing with wonderful rapidity. Every
year adds to the cost the government
would have to incur were it to take
over this property. Millions of dollars
now would be represented by tens of
millions a few years hence. The enor-
nifty of the undertaking will grow
faster than public sentiment in its ia
o r Ten or twenty years from now
there may be a great many people who
approve Of the principle. but they will
say this should have been done fifty or
sixty years ago; that il has become ar
impossibility because of the vast sums
Of money the railroads represent.

An exchange suggests that Mr..
Westinghouse be requested to put some
of his newly invented collision shock
disorders on the doors of the White

looks like something of the sort might
be needed when the senate takes
up the presidents message next fall
on the subject of tariff revision and
federal control Of railway freight rates.

be needed when the senate comes to
consider the matter of open markets

Fort Worth, Texas, May 26.-The
18th general assembly of the Southern
Presbyterian church adjourned this af-
ternoon.
Moderator Plunkett declared the con
vention dissolved at $50 and at the
same time called the next session TO
meet at Greenville, s. c., at IL a. m,
on the third Tuesday in May, 1906
The discussion of the question of fed
GRAFTON with other branches OF he
church vas long drawn out,and when
the end came it was as far from a ina
settlement as at any time during the
debate, which preceded the vote. There
is an irreconcilable element in he
church, that fully manifested itself,
which is opposed to federation, and
there is an element slightly stronger
that favors it, but neither side could
muster the necessary strength to def
nitely settle the matter. In the enc the
question, by a. vote of SO to 81, was
merely referred back to it's committee
to which were added three more mem
bers. b committee was instructed 10
bring another plan of federation be-
fore the nex assembly.
An amendment offered by DIR. En-
gene Daniel, to the federation commit
tees report disseminating the question
or federation was lost, and his substi-
tute amendment that the general as
sembly should declare it's inability to
accept the plan OF federation outlined
Dy the joint conference committee at
Pittsburg, Pa, last January was also
lost.
The vote on the question of union
was a close one.
Four ballots were taken before a de-
cision was reached, the last one being
taken by calling the roll when the vote
stood SO to 81 in favor of the report
OF the committee, which, however, was
insufficient for final settlement.
The greater portion Of the afternoon
session was taken up with routine
work.
On the question of a definition Of
he terms Commission" and Com
r.ittee," the minority report, by the
committee appointed on the subject at
the general assembly of 1902, was
adopted.
The salary of the stated clerk was
raised from $500 TO $3.50 per annum.
The reports of the committee on COL
ored evangelization and ministerial
education. and relief were read and
adopted without debate.
A report from the bills and overtures
committee was read and regarding the
installation Of ministers and the per
sons necessary TO be in attendance a
the installation. This was adopted,
making it possible to install a pastor
"itnout having but four persons, three
ministers and one elder. This was the
decision OF q previous assembly.
Other matters Of minor Importance
were taken up and disposed of as rap
idly q they could be read before he
assembly, the final adjournment being
taken 1T $50 O'Clock.

Div of Southern Cities.

Washington, May 26.-The results Of
an investigation Of the milk supply of
southern cities are given in a report
issued by the department of agricul-
ture. which declares that the evils of
the industry in that section are the keep
ing of COWS in small enclosures inside
the city limits and the delivery of
warm milk to The re-
port says that comparatively little milk
is consumed in most southern cities.
The mount per capita being not quite
one half pint in Richmond and the
average southern city while at Pensa-
cola the average is as low as one fifth
Of a pint and in Mobile less than one
tenths pint. The reports Oh the tuber-
culin tests in a considerable number of

Today the superintendent of public
instruction received a very interesting
deed, this having been given by John
d. LYMAN, of Goose Nest, Martin
county, to Governor Burton and his
successors for school purposes. In
those days there was no public schools
and so the deed was made to the state,
it being for a lot. The county board
of education sends the deeds here with
a request to the governor, 50 that he
can make a transfer Of the property TO
that board. Goose Nest was given its
odd name because of the fact that for
many years a family Of geese had their
nest i'm an old building, partially de-
strOyed, in which they laid season at
ter season. Goose Nest is also OF par
ticular interest to North Carolina

gave the democrats the majority in the
noted state convention of that year.
