material facts alleged in Anderson S

Rollins, Mr.. Moody said, Anderson s
complaint appears to be tissue OF
lies. This was indeed a remarkable
statement to be made by an attorney
general of the United States. l am at
loss to know why it was at all nee
esSary for him to denounce a citizen
Of this State for exercising a consti-
tutional right to institute a suite in
civil court of this State against
other citizens of the State. No Fed
son suit. and it may be safely left to
the courts and juries of this State
finally to adjudicate."
Judge Ewart then paid his re-
spects to Mr.. Butler as follows:
1.-THE plain truth is Rollins has
made a tremendous blunder in at
tempting to give Marion Butler prom
inence in party councils in this State.
/ know Mr.. Rollins denied that he
is doing this, but circumstances point
strongly to the fact that he is max
ing a political bedfellow of one of the
most consumate political scoundrels
in the State or out of it. l have been
reliably informed that Mr.. Rollins
has said that if Judge Pritchard could
forgive Butler for his treachery to
him, other Republicans of the State
could afford to do SO. But Republi-
cans with any pretentions to decency
will never accept as one of their
leaders this political vulture, whose

A Word from Colonel Cunningham.
Col John s. Cunningham. who has
been here for several days, says he
expects a large attendance of the cot
ton growers in Raleigh on January
3rd at the meeting of the State organi-
zation. of which he is president.
Speaking with reference to this sub
ject Colonel Cunningham said:
"Our farmers are diversifying their
crops, so as to be prepared for any
emergency With all of their supplies
grown at home they will be in better
position to live comfortably in case of
low prices, brought about by things
unforeseen.
"Our Southern Cotton Association
has accomplished a great deal in Il
short time. Our farmers who grow
any crop, or crops should receive a
fair price for their products to meet
thtir expenses, to pay their taxes To
live comfortably. and TO send Sheir
children to schools.
1.-The question of immigration is dis
cussed by our people in North Caro-
lima" continued Colonel Cunningham.
In the western part of North Caro-
lima, where SO many cotton mills and
furniture factories are located, many
thousands of our people have left the
farms and are employed in these fac
tories. 1t is necessary to supply their
places upon the farms. Of course, we
want people who will work and make
good citizens.
"The steps necessary to be taken to
get these laborers and settlers should
be carefully considered, but the time
has come for action. 1t is evident too,
that our influential and thinking men
should move along these lines dt once.
| 1t is true that North Carolina is NOV
| ing forward, but with sufficient labor
| her speed would double. Our homes
need domestic help and in this respecs
conditions seem to grow worse all the

complished by the proper effort.
