THAT APPROPRIATION INSCRIPTION

We cannot quite blame the confed-
crate veterans of Virginia for object
ing to the language of the inscription
on the North Carolina monument to
be unveiled at Appomattox on the
10th. North Carolinians believe that
they were first at Bethel. fartheSt to
the front at Gettysburg. and last ut
ApDonattox." but Virginians do not
concede this. and it is quite natural
that they should protest against Dlac-
ing on their soil 4 which
makes these claims. which they dis
Dute. Put yourself in their place. I'M
aginc the unwilling in North Carolina
III d monument making these claims
for Virginia. We consent with State
Auditor Dixon that in a case OF this
kind it We're better not to raise in
vidious comparisons
We cannot agree with the Charlotte
Observer in the above. We do not see
that our state raises any invidious
comparisons in placing those words
upon the Appomattox monument. Our
state has beer granted the right to put
up on that spot a monument cOmmem-
Grating the deeds of her soldiers. We
do not see that simply because it is
upon Virginia soil the people Of that
state have any more right to object
than do those of the other states of
the C~onfederacy which had troops in
the battles mentioned. The Virgin
ians would have as much right to Do
ject to Il similar inscription being put
on a confederate monument in the
capitol grounds at Raleigh. If the L.
gend is untrue it would be as wrong to
carve it on a monument in the latter
place as at Appomattox. V~irginians
could make a protest against placing
the words on the monument on the
ground only that they do not believe
those words state correct history. This
objection would apply to the action of
the state no matter where the MEMO
rial was placed. The locality of the
monument has nothing to do with the
question. The placing Of this one a:
AppOmattox is no more an affrOnt to
the Virginia veterans than if it was
placed upon either n of he other
battlefieldS mentioned. In placing
these words on the monument North
Carolina does not intend to make COM
parison between the valor of her
troops and those of any other state, nor
does she do so. She simply makes
record of a fact showing that she had
brave and gallant soldiers in those bat
ties.
The AppomattoX camp Of confeder-
ate veterans in adopting a resolution
not to attend the unveiling ceremonies
does itself more harm than it does the
North Carolina veterans.

COTTON GOODS TRADE WITH
CHINA.

Southern mill men should note the
fact that the exports of cotton goods
from this country to China are in
creasing rapidly. Our manufacturers
are not taking the interest in this
trade hat they should. No doubt it
could be greatly increased were The
growing so rapidly and to such an ex-
tent under the eXertions now being
made TO that end is a clear indication
of what are the possibilities if this

ROOSEVELT AND A SECOND TERM

The New York World Ices not put
lmucn store by Mr.. Rooseyelt's state
Iment that he viii not be a candidate
for reelection as president. Ii thiEi.s
he nas the game in his own hands for
Ia second nomination in 1908. That
paper implies that the president Is al
READY scheming 10 be his " success
lsor. It says that through his domino
ltion Of the party organization and his
control of the postofice department he
will have no r,ouble in securing a
majority of the delegates to the nation
lal convention. We suppose the aIlu-
lsion TO his control of the postofice
department is in reference to his for
liner private secretary and campaign
THAT department. And, says The
World, he will be elected mot because
The is the idol of the people or on ac-
Icoult of the mistakes that add to mis-
popularity, but because there will be no
Ireal opposition" The democratic par
lty, according to the prediction of that
lpaper, will be hopelessly divided
against itself as it is now. Is The
lWorld attempting a joke, or is it TAX
ling the first steps toward blossoming
Unto a Roosevelt organ in 1908? If Mr..
Roosevelt is. renominated by the repuD-
|licans we do not believe it will be Of
Ihis own seeking. Having said he would
mot stand for a second term he will
stand by his declaration. Conditions
may exist at the time which will make
lit necessary that his party should re-
nominate him, as was the case re-
lgarding Mr.. Mckinley in 1900. AS to
ibis election, if nominated, to prevent
lit the democrats will have to show a
more united party than they have in
the last three compaigns, and public
sentiment respecting the president will
have to change nightly in the next
three years.

At a recent meeting OF a woman's
club in Newark, N. 1.-the question dis
cussed was why are people poor:o" Of
course these women knew all about it.
They not only knew why people are
poor, but could tell the poor ones how
to get rich. The answers given to the
question during the discussion were
many and varied. Here are the ones
chiefly discussed:
Drink. I.aziness. Theatres. Charge
accounts. Inability to plan far ahead.
The desire to outshine ones neigh
hors. Lavish display of goods by store
keepers. Indifference Of men TO the
needs or home. Woman's ignorance
of domestic High food
prices and buying in small quantities.
The habit of doing without necessities
20 squanier fer luxuries. Lack of a
plain business understanding between
husband and wife.

Vice President Hyde seems to have
been whipped out in the fight for con
troll of the Equitable Life Society of
New York. With the retirement of
four of his adherents from the execu-
tive committee of the board of direc-
tors and the selection in their place
of four policy holder directors the poll
cy holders gain control of the compa-
ny, securing eight of the twelve meni-
bers of the committee. We suppose
this will end the fight.
