message yesterday said no freight
train had been run from Elkin this
week. Certain it is that tobacco con-
signed to Winston-S Salem is unnecessa-
rily delayed to the loss of time ana
money by farmers and warehousemen.
Yesterday afternoon the Tobacco
Association of Winston-Salem held a
diate action to get good freight service
to Winston Salem. They have been
spending their breath making requests
for good service for months and years,
with the result that their requests are
ignored. They have determined now
to seek the cooperation of the Board
of Trade, to send a delegation to
Washington, and to ask the assistance
of the Corporation Commission. The
business of that city and section is
quite an item to the railroads, but,
feeling independent, they have felt at
liberty to haul the freight when con-
venient. The people have come to the
point that instead of continuing kind
words and throwing tufts of grass
they are going to throw the stones of
the law and demand the right that
farmers and business men shall not
be delayed and injured by common
carrier that undertakes to furnish
transportation. 1t is true with some
railroads that they seem to be utterly
Indifferent to their duty to their
patrons until they are forced to rem
der prompt service. The Winston
Salem people have been patient and
long suffering and been fed on prom
ises. Now they have quit making re-
quests and demand their rights. That
is the only way to get what they pay
for from some corporations, quick to
run politics and slow to look after the
business entrusted to them.

A REPROACH TO THE FAIR.

There is but one course that the
State Fair authorities can pursue IL
they wish to make it worthy Of the
large patronage it receives-and tEat
is rigidly to exclude all games of
chance and all questionable shows.
The reports coming from visitors show
that gambling was carried on in such
manner as to make it nothing short
of robbery, and that it was practlsed
by men who had bought license 10
carry on some game of chance III
which skill is needed They. paid foE
permission to conduct a ten-cent game
in which they said skill was required
and under that license are said to
have carried on all sorts of gambling
schemes, Fleeing the people.
Some years ago, after public indig-
nation had been expressed. the Fair
Association solemnly passed resolu-
ton that no such concerns should be
admitted again. This year they asked
for license for a guessing or skill con-
test and under such license ran big
and little swindling games.
1t will do no good now for the au-
thorities merely to promise to ex-
clude such black leg thieves The pub
lie will accept nothing short of eX-
Guiding every sort of game, no matter
how innocent it looks, and refusing
license to anybody to operate anything
of the sort. The fellows plying that
business have no character and Will
do anything from pitch-and-toss to
manslaughter if it will advance their
ends. There is but one thing to do:
Deny them license to put their foot
on the grounds even if they say they
only want to sell candy, and give con-
cessions only to men of known charac-
ter. That must be rightly adhered to
or the Fair will become place OF
evil instead of good.

RECALLS STIRRING TIMES.

Aycock'S vigorous speech in Mary
land on Tuesday night carries one
back to the old days of 1898 and 1900
when it was necessary for the people
of North Carolina to use plain speech
and determined action to rescue the
State from the evil men who cOntroll-
ed it. BY the way they are the same
men now i'm control of the machin-
cry and newspapers in the Radical
party. They have never repented of
the crimes committed then and the
people will never again trust that
gang, no matter how many fair prom
Uses they make There isn't a man in
authority in the Republican party to-
day who didn't commit these unDard-
enable crimes: l. Deny the existence
of the evils that produced the Will
mington Revolutions: 2. Voted directly
or indirectly for the negro rule that
cursed the State: 3. Voted against the
amendment and falsely told the peo-
pie it would disfranchise white men
who were then exercising suffrage.
These three crimes will never be
forgotten or forgiven by the people
i'm North Carolina in any man guilty
of committing either or all of them
certainly until there is public repent
ance i'm sackcloth and ashes by the
guilty parties.

.POOR CROPS: TIGHT MONEY"

The preservation of our forests is
not only necessary to prevent the de-
struction of manufacturing plants, as
where millions of mill property was
swept away by flood in South Caro-
lima two years ago, but even more
important to protect millions of acres
of agricultural lands endangered by
the destruction of forests. Mill prop
erty destroyed can be built on higher
ground and may escape future floods,
but those mountain torrents destroy
ed forever the fertility of thousands
the destruction of growing crops.
Forest denudation if it goes on will
still further work untold injury to
agriculture. Mr.. CaSpar Whitney
editor of The Outing Magazine, high
authority on everything connected
with outdoor life, in the magazine,
makes this appeal
1.-The Patriot with the Hoe.
'"This is the time of year when the
outdoor world goes a-camping, and
want again to raise my voice in an
appeal for care of the forest. Help
the President and the Forest Service
in their magnificen, efforts to pre-
serve our woods. Be sure before you
leave your camp that every last bit
of your cooking fire has been extin-
guished, and then scrape dirt over
the ashes so the wind may not stir
into destructive life the supposedly
dead embers you have left. No single
inimical element is more of a menace
to forest conservation than the devast-
ing fires which every autumn sweep
across great tracts because of care
less campers who thought" they put
out their camp fire. And if you thus
aid the President and the Forest Ser
vice you serve your country and your
own interest-because the preserva-
ton of our forest lands concerns every
citizen of America, and intimately
concerns our agricultural interests.
Every intelligent reader knows that
the agricultural interests come very
near to being the commercial bull
wark of America; poor crops, tight
money is a saying which ought to
be familiar with newspaper readers.

THE SYNOD AT RED SPRINGS.

The Synod of North Carolina, now
in session at Red Springs, is the larg-
est in the South, embracing only one
State. There are Alp churches and
1874 ministers in the Presbyterian
church in North Carolina. The num-
Der of Presbyterians in Western
North Carolina, in the Northern tier
of counties, and East of Raleigh is
comparatively small. It's greatest
membership is found in those sections
settled by the Scotch and Scotch-lr1sh.
Wherever you find a strong Presby-
terrain church you find a good school
house near by. In the early days the
best schools in North Carolina were
taught by Presbyterian ministers who
were the pioneers in education in this
State They are today living up to
their early practice, and there are
no people who are doing more for
education, public and private.
The session of the Synod at Red
Springs makes this years gathering
one of unusual interest. 1t accepted
L
terrain Conservatory of Music, upon
invitation of it's president, in part so
that all the ministers and laymen
could see the great work for the edu-
cation of young women being done
there, and in part because Red
Springs is in the heart of the Scotch
settlement in North Carolina. TIL.
Synod is near where the Scotchmen
first made their homes when they
landed in the New World. Every foot
of that section is rich in the history
of sacrifice and achievement. The
ground wherein members of the
Synod stand is holy ground, made so
by the unselfish and noble service OF
a race of men and women who have
served their God and their State with
singleness of purpose, dignified. hum

civic leaders to bless mankind.

THE PRESIDENTS VISIT.
What Thick Hides and Short Memo
ricS We Have.

To the Editor: Verify, what thick
hides we Southern folks have, and
what short memories. But yesterday
we were up in arms against one Ted
dy Roosevelt, because he had. we said,
deliberately and OF malice afore-
thought, used his high position to
lessen the social chasm which sunders
the races in this country. The main
flamenco of this severance we hold to
be the most vital of all our safe
guards. Yet this man defying all
usage, all sentiment has done what
he could to lessen this severance. He
is the first President ever to have
done so. Yet he is the first Republi-
can President that we have ever
spontaneously feted, the reception ac-
corded Johnson being exceptional as
will appear further on.
Yes, this thing and many more
f1agrantly hostile, according to our
mentors, the Democratic press, did

The latest edict in Washington OF
fetal life is that members of the
Presidents Cabinet are not TO give out
any information as to what goes on
at these gatherings. 1t was further
announced that the Presidents secre-
tary would hereafter give out SUCH
information as it was deemed proper
for the public to have. This sort OF
censorship of the news is getting more
and more to be the fashion and Gus
tom among officials high and low. me
fact that such information as these
persons think it is proper for the pup
lie to have is to be the only informa-
ton given out makes it all the more
necessary that the newspaper CORE
spondents, upon whom the public has
to rely for news of what is going on
in our official life, should continue
their usual activity in getting at the
facts. We apprehend that, like the
executive sessions of the United states
Senate, the proceedings of the Presl-
dents cabinet will be known to the
people of the country, and that any
attempt to make the Presidents sec
rotary or any one else the only mouth
piece for information will fall. There
never was a time when the people
wanted so much to know what was
going on in Washington as now.

HANGING TOO GOOD.

The people of Wallace cannot be
too highly commended for their de-
votion to law that caused them to
deliver up to the authorities the brute
