Stop Rebates.

Of the "standpat" faction of the re-

His attitude is of interest both from
the political and railway standpoint.

demand for higher taxes from the
railways and intimates that the state

Mr.. Parks and his father are the
owners of the Randolph Manufactur-
ing Company's plant, one of the most
prosperous cotton mills in the State.
In chatting yesterday with an Observ-
er reporter he stated that while bust
ness at present is not all that it might

which means sheetings, ETC., are do
ing We'll in his section. The Ran
dolph Manufacturing Company is
now doing a large export business,
which it finds very profitable. Speak
ing of this feature of the business yes
terday Mr.. Parks said: ''It is very
difficult for new mill to get q foot
hold in the export trade for the prime
reason that those Far Fasteners hold
to an article once they use it and like
1t, and a new mill finds it hard to en-
ter the market. Once you tickle a
Chinaman's back with a certain weave

he buys thereafter"

THE FARMER AND THE MULE.
Reason Farmers Make Little Money Is
That Mule Power Costs Too Much.
Monroe Journal.)


Mr.. Lee Wolfe, who lately moved 10
Monroe from Mecklenburg county, has
some original ideas about the mule
and his relation to farm work. When
we were all talking about free silver
and the need of more money, / laugh
ed at it, said Mr.. Wolfe. And, he
continued, when the farmers meet to
devise high prices. I say it's no good,
gentlemen, in the long run; it may
give temporary relief, but you haven't
got at the permanent root of the evil.
Gentlemen, the mule is the thing that
is troubling us. He is AT the bottom
of all our woes; he's our big enemy
Such talk surprises people, for they
think the mule is the farmers best
friend, but he is not. / can prove
that he is not. He takes up one-thirl
of the production of the farm. Count
it up, gentlemen; the high price you
pay for him, the comparative short
time of his best service, and the great
expense of his feed, Ito say nothing
of accidents and DRINKS in which we
trade him off for nothing) and year
in and year out, you'll find he comes
in for a third Now, no business that
spends a third of it's receipts for mo-
tive power alone, can be profitable.
The drain is too great. Gentlemen,
the farmer needs a cheaper motive
power, and must have it before he can
ever be prosperous like the men of
other occupations. / have known this
thing for fifteen years, having learned
1T by running a field thresher, and l
have often thought of writing to Mr..
Edison and asking him to give his at
tention to this matter. If he or some
other inventor will give us a cheap
motor from one to five horse power,
that we can pillow with, We'll get rich
but never before.

Lynchburg veterans are urged by
the Charlottesville Progress to fulfill
their original purpose of attending the
unwilling of the monument to North
Carolina troops at AppomattoX, April
10. 1t is said that the Lynchburg men
intended to go, but object to the in
scription on the monument: First

Gettysburg and Chickamauga, last at

present The direct statements in the
inscription are in dispute, but If the
North Carolinians wish to record their
boasts and claims. there is no reason
why any Virginian should object or
should sulk and remain away from
their celebration. These things are
too far away and too doubtful and the
claims of the two States are too sim
cerely believed and too strongly sup
ported for any i'll feeling or jealousy
to be developed at this late day. Let
the veterans of the respective States
believe in these matters as they like
and allow their old comrades the same

welfare and reputation of Virginia de-
pend not on what she and her people
have done in times gone by, but on
what they can do today. If We wish
to be in the world and part of it and
to take our places in it, we must learn
to disregard the questions of Virginia
birth or ancestry and take men at
their actual value as we find them and
adopt them, make use of them and
accept them as our citizens, comrades
and brothers on their own individual
merits. The North Carolinians are
our next door neighbor. Certainly we
have no right to assume any superb
GRITTY over them or to deny them any
fellowship or honor. In a good many
respects they have showed us the way

been standing still, comforting our
selves with old achievements.
