10 the daring extremes that are pic;

to the daring extremes that are pic;
tured in the case of Silas Lynch.
On the whole, we regard The Clans
man as an overdrawn picture of con-
ditions that existed nearly forty
years ago. In the light of present
day conditions it does injustice to
the better class of negroes in the
South, in that Silas Lynch is repre-
sented as possessing the highest order
of ability and the best educated men
among the negroes. The most thrill
ing and soul-stirring scenes in the
play are the most infammatory and
incendiary. Just here we think the
mixture of bad outweighs the good.
The most striking lessons are ghast-
ly and unnecessary.
With this bit of running comment
and criticism of The Clansman we
pass it up, hoping that the distance
at which We are removed from the
deplOrable scenes in which it is laid,
and the sober sense of those who wit
ness the play, will prevent kindling
anew the smouldering fires of race
hatred. When we have spent two or
three hours in imagination back in
1867, and poured a few thousand
dollars into the yaWning Golfers OF
The Clansman author, let us turn
at once to the living present and take
up the work before us of the indus
trial and moral upbuilding OF our
country, the education of the masses,
and the fostering OF still friendlier at
titudes as citizens between the de-
scendants of former master and for
mer slave.

The S0uth's Small Factories.
Wilmington Messenger.

No matter what kind of a manufac-
turing plant is started at the South
it succeeds, is a rule to which there
are very few exceptions indeed. Sue
cess is the general rule, whether it be
a heavily capitalized cotton factory
or u plant on a small capital manu-
1acturlng some apparently insignifi-
cant article of trade. Where there
are brains and energy at the head of
the concern there is sure to be success
While big cotton mills are building
here and there in the South, this see
ton is being dotted all over with less
pretentiOus manufacturing plants
which turn out various kinds of mer-
chantable articles. While these lat
ter do not make as much show or at
tract as great attention as do the
large mills for manufacturing the
South's staple they are OF hardly less
Importance to our section of the
country. They add much to the
prosperity of the smaller towns and
surrounding rural districts. They
furnish remunerative employment to
hundreds OF young men and young
women and increase the amount of
money in circulation in their imme-
dlate sections.
The building ofnew factories of this
kind or the enlargement Of existing
ones is almost Il daily news item i'm
the papers. A noted instance OF the
latter is Il handkerchief factory in
Charlotte. On account of the GREAT
demand for its output the factory
will be enlarged SO as to increase its
present capacity of three hundred
dozen handkerchiefs Il day TO six
hundred dozen. This factory began
operations only last January
And thus it is all over the South.
The old mills are hunming and new
ones are building and going into
operation as fast as building ma
terial and the necessary machinery
can be secured They are adding
daily to the wealth of the South are
making the whole section and her
people more independent OF the bal
ance of the world. No longer is the
South simply producer OF raw cot
ton for the benefit of the New Eng
land and European mills that they
may grow rich selling back to us our
cotton at big profits after it has been
made into cloth We are making the
cloth and keeping the profits OF its
manufacture at home. and we are
growing richer and richer every day
by the change.

The Winners in Life.

The people who win their way into
the utmost recesses of other hearts
are not usually the most brilliant
and gifted, says an exchange, but
those who have sympathy patience,
seli-forgetfulness, and that indefi-
nable faculty of eliciting the better
nature of Others. We have many
friends who are beautiful and gifted,
but there is not one OF them whose
companionship we enjoy better than
that OF the plain faced man or wo-
man who never makes a witty
or profound remark, but whose
simple quality OF human goodness
makes up for every other deficiency.

Another Declaration of Independ-

Mecklenburg and it will be defended
with the same nerve and courage
that distinguished the signers of the
other document.
The fight for freedom by the news
papers in Charlotte has been won.
For some time to come the scars of
the conflict will remain, but the bless
ing of indepence will atone thous-
and fold for all the Inconvenience and
trouble the struggle has entailed;
and not Charlotte alone, but the
newspapers generally throughout the
State will reap the fruit of the vic
tory.

The World Misjudges.
Monroe Journal.

The world misjudges the man who
works on, after having accumulated
wealth, or even competency, till the
last expiring breath. How often do
we hear it said of men who are near
the journeys end, that they are Just
a as anxious to make dollar as they
ever were. This is generally true,
but we often misconstrue the motive
OF that desire. Many of the men
against whom the charge is made,
work on 20 make dollars. not because
they love the dollars. but because
they love the work they have always
been accustomed to do. They dOnot
always understand this fact them
selves, and many of them never think
of the matter at all, but we are salts
fed that this is the last analysis of
the fact. They work on because
they have worked all their lives and
would be miserable could they not
continue to work, and of course they
do the things that through long years
they have not only learned to do,
but so love. The world says they
are still greedy for the dollar This
attachment to ones life work is i'm
mense, and about the saddest sight
to be found is an old man who has
been taught to believe that he ought
to retire and is wandering about in
an aimless sort of way waiting to
die. Tht idea of dying in harness is
not the sentimental one. 1t is a
necessity for most men. The old
man or woman who is forced to give
up the old home or the old business
to "rest'' or to go live with the chill
dren, is generally doomed to a few
years OF misery when these years
should be the happiest of their lives.
