CRUSHED WITH ORDERS. ("

The Carthage Blade reports that
Mr.. d. A. McLaugh1in's poultry yard
at Vass ''has been rushed with orders
this spring." He ships eggs for hatch
ing, eggs to eat, and poultry. and is
charging his business every year. He

There are other men in North Caro-

"SONGS OF THE SOUTH"

In his memorial day address at
Wadesboro, Major w. A. Smith, OF
AnsonvilIe, took as his theme Songs
of the South" and after telling how
these songs had thrilled and cheered
the Confederate soldiers, suggested
that the Daughters of the Confeder-
acy add one more task to their Ia
Dor of love by collecting and preserv-
ing the songs which cheered the
soldiers in camp, urged them to bat
tie, and soothed their spirits, broken
by death and desolation.''
The suggestion is a most happy one.
OF course We are all familiar with
some of the most famous of these
songs, but the younger generation
often look IN vain to find tho words
of the songs of the South their moth
ers used as lullabieS in the long ago.
If the Daughters will collect these old
airs and put them in permanent form
they will add to the debt of gratitude
the world owes them. LET me write
the songs of a nation and l care not
who writes the laws"

UP TO sALAR1ED OFFICERS.

The Danbury Reporter, referring
to the fact that under the new law,
a constable or policeman finding a
man intoxicated or in the possession
of liquor, he may be called into court
or before a magistrate and required
to say under oath where he purchased
the liquor, and upon his refusal he
may be fined or sent to Jail for con-
tempt of court, says:
This puts the great difficulty of
temperance laws in the hands OF the
friends of temperance. They can re-
quire the local officers to enforce the
law to the very limit"
The Reporter makes the usual mis-
take of supposing that the friends of
temperance" have in hand the en-
forcement of the law. AS matter
of fact, while the friends of temper
ance ought to compel the ''loca, Off
GERS" to execute law by strong pub
lie sentiment, why should men paid to
execute the law wait to be compelled
to perform their sworn duty? 1t too
often happens that a city official,
elected to execute the law SITS down
in his office and when criticized for
not doing so says that he has heard
no complaint that the law was violated
and no demand has been made upon
him to execute the law in question. 1t
is not the duty of private citizens to
tell officials when the law is violated
and goad them into action. Officials
are paid to find out and punish infrac-
lions of the law. If they are to sit
idly by until a private citizen quits
his business to compel enforcement
of the law, then we might do away
with paid officials and let the individ-
uals take the law into their own
hands.

GOOD FOR THE ODD FELLOWS

The present session of the Grand
Lodge of odd Fellows is the most sue
cessful in the history of that useful
fraternal order. The people love to
come to Raleigh and whenever any
order holds its session in the State
Capital, the attendance is sure to be
large. Raleigh was glad to welcome
the representative men who came as
delegates from their subordinate
lodges and they made a splendid i'm
preston upon the people OF this city.
The Grand Lodge acted wisely in
electing Mr.. Plato Collins, of Kinston,
rs Grand Master. Mr.. Collins is q
young man of ability and enthusiasm
and under his aggressive leadership 1t
will continue to grow in numbers and
in influence.
The most important act of the
Grand Lodge was the resolution to
build at Goldsboro a home for the
aged and INDECENT odd Fellows and
their widows. Already four thousand
dollars is in the treasury for that pur-
pose and the necessary balance will
shortly be in hand. This benehcent
work shows the practical spirit OF
helpfulness that is the underlying
characteristic of the order, and the
foundation stone of it's usefulness and
growth.
Good for the Odd Fellows!

salem there would be plenty of at
tempts to create prejudice and
hatred in the minds of the farm
ers against the Almighty.
There is a right way and
wrong way to do things. The Post
suggested a day or two ago that
it was barely possible that the
railroads had not had sufficient
notice that the crop was unusual
ly large. We thought it reason
able as only a few days ago state
ments were widely published to
the effect that the crop was
badly injured by the cold and in
some places totally destroyed.
And those reports, in many in
stances, were given out by farm
ers.
1.-The interests of the shippers
and the transportation lines are
mutual in this matter. and there
is no more reason to believe that
the latter have been more care
less and Indifferent in the matter
of furnishing cars than the farm
ers were i'm furnishing accurate
and positive information that the
shipments were going to be
heavy. 1t is better to let the
troubles be adjusted on the basis
of actual facts, and to refrain
from creating more prejudice by
wild and reckless assumptions"
So. to the Post must be credited the
first honor CD (by curious arrange
ment of facts and some things that
are not facts) of attempting to re-
lieve the A. G. L. or Armour Company
of the blame for the immense losses
suffered by the strawberry growers OF
Eastern Carolina because of the lack
of sufficient cars to transport the ber-
ries to Northern markets. Because
the growers, according to the Post, did
not keep this huge corporation wise
as to the smallness or immensely OF
the crop they should now suffer in
accordance with the corporation
which admits of its own Volition that
the loss was due to an unfortunate
freight congestion on some Northern
railroad. 1t would seem that the Post
has undertaken a venture which is
neither appreciated by the corporation
nor the dear people" of the trucking
belt. We were somewhat adverse to
believing that the Post was one OF
those lovable railroad organs, but il
we were asked now we could cite you
to as much difference between six and
a haIf-dozen as there is between the
Post and a railroad organ" And
there really seems to be no cause on
necessity III liI1S CdoG LII liz l. CS'I -
exercise such protective care over the
corporations interests, so perhaps
after all it is only another case OF
"Ephraim joined to his idols"
The truth of the matter is 1T is not
the duty of the growers to post the
company as to the size of the crop
the company is supposed to be di-
rected by men of business sense and
ability. who should know better than
to place credence in every report cir
culated, which are generally greatly
exaggerated. AS to the reported IN
jury to the crop. we admit that this
was true to an extent on the w. & w
road. but, to our knowledge, no such
reports were sent out from the Chad
bourn section, where the industry IS
greatest. Lastly, the company knew
the size of the 1904 crop and should
have known that the acreage was
greatly increased this year. NOW
who should shoulder the loss? Any
five-year old boy could give you tne
correct answer.

SO hard to get rid of. There are not
many drunkards but who think they

is not one in ten that can stop it with

NO BACKDOWN.

We are pleased with the latest dec
iaration of President Roosevelt in his
first utterance after his return from
the hunting trip in the mountains
upon the rate-making law. He said:
81 want to. say a word as to govern
mental policy in which l feel that this
whole country ought to take a great
interest, and which is itself but part
of a general policy into which / think
our government must go. l have
spoken of the policy of extending the
powers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and of giving them par
ticularly the power to fix rates and
to have the rates that they fix go
into effect practically at once. AS
l say, that represents in my mind part
of what should be the general policy
of this country"
This is a rebuke to those who have
been advertising that the Presiden.
has weakened on his policy We are
glad to see this statement. We hope
to see the President put behind this
declaration the same strenuousity he
has shown in the other important
measures he has approved.
The Senate is hostile to any good
bill that confers power to make rates.
1t is full of railroad attorneys and
Others who wish to retain the power
full support of the railroad interests
which gave some of them their seats.
They will not fight the measure open
". They will seek to "cut the CUTS
out of it, and pass measure that will
be ineffcient-in other words a sham.
Already the railroad organ are tell
ing us that there is a demand in the
country to end rebates and discrini-
nations, but not for giving the rate
making power to the Interstate
Commerce Commission. They think
the railroads can dodge the law
against rebates and determinations,
but would have to observe fair rates
fixed by the Commerce Commission
If they can get the bill switched off
on a mere measure against discrimina~
tons and rebates not we'll guarded, it
will go through with a rush, and the
railroad lawyers will find holes in it
big enough to drive a four horse wa
gon through.
The people wish no determinations
and shippers are justly insistent upon
fair dealing, but the American people
wish power conferred upon the Com-
mission to fix rates to the end that the
rising exorbitant rates will no longer
burden commerce and add to the cost
of everything needed in the homes,
in business, in trade. No Commission
could under the laws fix rate so low
that it would deny fair dividends upon
the money invested in railroads.
There is no danger in the law to any
dollar invested in railroads in the
proposed legislation 1t would pre-
vent excessive charges and unjust dis
ordinations, both of which are de-
manded by the American shippers and
consumers.

HOLD COTTON FOR EIGHT GENTS.

The course of the cotton market of
late has given great trouble to farm
ers who have in good faith kept the
pledge to hold their cotton crop.
Some, who signed conditionally, have
sold their cotton. Many have been
troubled about the right course to
pursue, particularly those who needed
money with which to make the new
crop. There has been plenty of adj
vice from the bear leaders and the
bull leaders, but it has been SO con-
flicting and so much of it has APP
parently been prompted by self-inter-
est, that farmers have been puzzled
as to the probable course of the mar
ket.
This paper has been in full SYM
pathy with the plans and purposes of
the Cotton Growers Association. 1t
believes the hope for the farmers lies
in united action and in reducing the
acreage. In North Carolina the farm
ers have stood together very we'll and
the reports show that the acreage will
be considerably reduced-more than
the purchase of fertilizers would indi-
cate.
What about holding cotton and will
it go to eight cents? There are no
men in North Carolina whose opinion
about cotton is entitled to more weight
