THE DOOLEY LETTERS.

Our readers have greatly missed the
during the past two weeks the Dooley
| letter, the most popular feature of
most of the leading dailies in the
| United States. The firm that sends
out the Dooley letters-McClure, Phil
| lips & Co, have received Il letter from
Mr.. Dunno, the author of the Dooley
letters, from which they send out the
| following extract:
II am very sorry that l must stop
writin~ the Dooley articles for a
month or more. Since | had an OPP

age. l sail on Wednesday. and hope
to be able to renew the articles very
soon after l arrive in Europe.
Il fully appreciate the feeling of the
editors regarding the Dooley letters.
was for a long time Sunday editor of
a newspaper and l know what it
means to miss an expensive feature,
but i cannot really do any better than

ticieS grow harder to write and,

justice II / sent out articles that / dld
not conscientiouSlv think We're up to
the standard, whatever that standard
may be. l would also be doing an in
justice to myself. Half a dozen such
articles as i have written at times and

articles a year that / really think
good enough to print are better than
fifty-two articles including twelve that

quaint and original mixture of Wit
and philosophy Mr.. Dunno is q cor
scentuous worker and will miss a

thousands of dollars to him rather
than send something that is less than
his best. The multitudes who weekly
read his contributions will wish him

DEPENDS ON THE FARMERS.

j. III. Parker & Co., in their cotton
are heavily short of the market" and
are trying Ito depress prices with the
view of demoralizing spot markets in
the South" AS to the futures they
say:
THE course of prices. however,
hinges, as it has for month past,
entirely upon the attitude Of Southern
holders. We believe they are financially
able to carry the balance of this crop
without Inconvenience and consequent
ly that they will control the situation
and the course of prices if they exer-
else good judgment in only marketing
on substantial advances. At the close
of the week the short interest has
largely increased. Our advices lead
us to believe that large engagements
mand will continue active on this ac-
count both from domestic consumers
and exporters during the next sixty
days. and, on this theory we can see
no basis, if the South holds firm. for
other than temporary declines.
If the farmers remain firm and uni
ted upon the two propositions: I.
To hold their cotton till it brings
prices that afford a profit, and =: To
reduce acreage and consumption of
fertilizers twenty-five per ccnt-if they
act together and carry out these two
resolves. the cotton farmers will win
their fight and save Southern agricui-
ture from a return to the depression
that prevailed in lo34.
On Wednesday, February 10Th. there
will be meetings of cotton farmers i'll
Raleigh and in every county seat II
the cotton States. 1t is to be hoped
that the attendance will be large at all
these meetings, but if the bad weather
prevents. the farmers at their homes

SHALL THE MINORITY RULE?

On Saturday night in tl'is city Sc
cret meeting was held to devise ways
and means to give the opponents of
the Ward bill some help in their at
tempt to defeat ii in the House.
Nobody who attended that meeting
will give the details and they are
mum about its proceedings and its
objects. A report came to this paper
yesterday that as result of that meet
ing a cell had been issued for a meet
ing of the Democratic State Executive
Committee in Raleigh on Wednesday,
February 18th. There are two re-
ports in circulation as to the object
of that meeting: /. To demand the
resignation of Senator Simmons be-
cause he favored the Ward bill: 2.
To try to enlist the State Executive
Committee to oppose the Ward bill.
Whatever the object it is certain to
fail for the Democratic Executive
Committee cannot be used for either of
these purposes. never dreamed of un-
I'll, the minority, largely defeated in
the Senate and seeing defeat staring
them in the face in the House. began
10 try to find SOME way that would
enable the minority TO rule.
The Ward bill is a measure upon
which Democrats differ. They have a
right to differ uDon it. But the at
tempt to make such difference the &C.
easion for a rebuke to the State Chair

WHAT THE WARD BILL DOES.

The vigorous attacks upon the Ward
bill. accompanied freely by predictions
that it's passage would defeat the Dem
ocratic party. has caused some people
to think it is a bill with hoofs and
horns. In order to show that it is a
mild and conservative measure. the
full text of the measures is printed
elsewhere That bill does but three
things:
!. Forbids any distillery in a town
having a population of less than 1000.
Experience has shown that distilleries
can dominate a little town, and for
the protection of all small towns in
the future as we'll as to end Williams,
Shore, Jason. Advance and other like
distillery towns, this provision is in
corporated.
,. Makes specific and effective rcgu-
Ilations insuring police protection where
liquor is sold.
8. Makes the taking out of Federal
license to retail prima facie evidence
that the party taking such license is
guilty of retailing.
These three simple and necessary
provisions ought not to occasion any
body the least alarm. Their enact
ment ends the need for local legisla-
ton now demanded to abolish Shore,
Williams. Advance, Jason and other
towns. But it does more: it saves the
next Legislature from the trouble of
opSidc,t;po like apanalS for IL tICSC
still towns arc abolished, they will
move into other little places already
Incorporated and the ''sorc spots" now
at Williams, Shore, Advance and ia
son will be transferred to other little
towns. Is it not better to settle the
problem of these little still towns once
for all and prevent further agitation :"

can carry out the spirit of the resolu-
tons by holding their cotton and MAX
ing preparations for reduction of the
acreage and a reduction of the pur-
chase of fertilizer.
The farmer who decreases the pro-
duction of cotton will not be decreas-
ing his labor. He will plant other
crops, he will grow more truck and
vegetables, he will raise chickens and
turkeys and meat, and will be in
much better condition in the fall than
to make cotton without profit.

Spirit of the Press
The Rate Question.

Kiuston Free Press.
It seems that Messrs l.. Hines and
II. f.. MosCley, of the hinston COM
mittec that were placed i'm charge of
the matter Of railroad rates, while
in Raleigh had an Interview With Gov
eInOr Jarvis and secured from him
an admission that local freight rates
on the a. &; y. G. could not be law
fully increased under the recent lease
contract. This statement is all the
more noteworthy because Governor
Jarvis is Il director of the Rowland
Improvement Co.
As TO what changes in rates have
been made we are not fully informed.
But we are sure that the contract
was entered into in good faith, and
it should be strictly adhered to by
both of the parties there connected.
As 10 whether there is q breach ana
as to its extent, is a question Of law
anG fact that cannot be passed upon
without full investigation. However,
the Rowland Improvement Company
is never going to help in the develop
mont of this section Of the state, AS
is desired, if it antagonizeS the just
derlards of shippers. There must be
co-operation between shippers ana the
road if there is to be mutual develop
mcnt.
The lease was q well considered act
of business men who have the inter-
estS of the State and this section at
heart. From this, presumptivcly, it is
fair in its details to ali concerned; and
SO should bind all. if the best inter-
ests of the section are TO be conselT-
ed.
The Free Press is opposed to spe-
cial rates for favored shippers. or re-
bates or any other practice by which
discrimination is countenanccd. Such
methods arc undcmocratiC in princi-
pie, and unjust in operation. Still
d uniformly low freight rate. that has
been guaranteed by contract should
be yielded without law suits Such
methods of arriving at what is right
and just are to he deplOrcd.

and enforcing Governor of Mis-
souri,. was preparing q special message.

ably commented on yesterday Gov.
Folk. who was prosecuting attorney
of St Louis, declares that his exper-
fence has shown him that three-fourthS
of the crime in st. Louis last year was
traceable to the pistol carrying habit.
He also says that Missouri would save
100000 year i'm criminal costs alone
by the passage of such q statute.
Early in the session a bill in line
with Governor Folks recommendation
was Introduced by Representative
koonce, of Onslow. After some con-
sultation with the others he changed
the bill to make the offence a fine of
not less than twenty dollars for the
first offence. In that form it passed
the House and went to the Senate.
MIR. Kooncc was given a hearing before
the Senate judiciary Committee and
the vote on the bill was a tie. The
chairman voted to make an unfavor-
