Wash in Sloan.
Elizabeth City Economist.

wv A>~SAoAAAbt'
The South is part of the United
States. The government is mainly
the work of its sons Like the inhab-
itants of Zanoah, who built the walls
OF Sloan, ''they built it and covered
it, and set up the doors thereof, the
locks thereof, the bars thereof, and
the walls of the pool OF Sloan by the
kings garden"
The Southern States stood spon-
sors for the government at it's bap-
tism at the fount of nations. 1t is no
exaggeration to say that without
their aid, under Divine Providence,
the new experiment in government
would have been failure.
A Southern man led it's armies to
victory; Southern man formed its
first charter of liberty and rights. A
Southern man framed it's first written
Constitution, brought order out OF
chaos, reconciled conflicting interests
and made US united people ami
mated by one supreme sentiment of
brotherhood.
Does that sentiment Of brotherhood
now exist? Does that feeling of graf
itude? Have we not lost the spirit of
reverence for the Southern patriots
and statesmen? Are we a united band
OF equal States? II the Southern
States are not completely ostracised,
it we are not outcasts from the ban
quet party prepared by our fathers,
then we should be sent to the pool OF
Sloan to recover our sight.
What a humiliating aspect does
our country present! A large part
OF 1.-THE best part of it in natural
resources, cut off from all participa-
tion in the honors or influence OF the
government. Living in the home OF
our ancestors, as a mere make wright
between the parties.
BY one, banned, maligned, invoking
hate to promote popularity; held up
in it's party platform as an object OF
persecution. By the others as un-
worthy of political association. The
head OF a great victorious party, the
fountain of political patronage and
promotion even now with his cornu
copia full OF appointments consider
ing Southetn man an object OF sus-
picion and distrust, and virtually
apologizing for his appointment to a
cabinet position, by assigning Il
cause that discards merit and ability.
Can such conditions long continue?
So far as ourgoyernmenti is concerned
we have ''lost all but honor" The
past is secure. 1t is bound up with
our national government. but oh!
how unmindful it is of us.

The following comments are to the
point:
We would like to see the day return
in North Carolina when the people can
be trusted to govern themselves.-Raleigh
Post.
Don't you know the people can't be
trusted? They haven't sense enough to
govern themselves, and must, therefore,
elect guardians Tin the form OF legisla-
tors) to tell them what they must have
and what is good for them in the way OF
laws to regulate their mode Of living,
their habits and rule of conduct in life.
At least that seems to lie the idea Of
modern legislators.-Hei.derson Gold

What would Thomas Jefferson
think of all this? What have been
the fundamental principles OF the

tion? What light is thrown by the
latest Democratic national problem?

sequences of going off after strange

Dakota Bond Case Settled.
Pittsboro Record.

PittsborO Record.
All citizens of the State, irrespective
of party, should be pleased at the
settlement made with the holders OF
the State bonds, on ten of which South
Dakota had obtained Judgment in
the United States Supreme Court.
The amount due on those bonds, on
which no Judgment had been obtain
ed, was over $663, 900, and the COM
promise was for S215, 1854, so that by
this compromise the State saves over
$447, 900. The Legislature accepted
this compromise by an almost unani-
nous vote, and ifit had done nothing
else during the entire session it would
have deserved the thanks Of our peo-
pie. Gov. Glenn is to be congratu-
lated that his administration starts
off so auspiciously-with so satisfac-
tory settlement OF a most impor'
tant and vexatious matter.

Roosevelt's sympathy.
Richmond Times Dispatch.

Richmond Times-Diepatch.
In discussing President Roosevelt's
latest speech on the negro question.
Harpers Weekly says.
1t is strange, when we think Of it, that
the passages in the Presidents speech tn
which we have referred should not have
convinced all intelligent Southern editors
that Mr.. Roosevelt Q acts and words have
sometimes been misconstrued in the past,
and that, as matter OF fact. the South
ern whites have no more cordial sympa-
thizer than he. We regret to say, how
that we hold in high respect seem slow
to recognise the real attitude ef the chief
magistrate, and to regard his utterances
with lingering suspicion. They omit to
mark the disclosure OF Mr.. Roosevelt's
fundamental principles, and lay what
seems to US excessive stress on two or
three general statements, detached
phrases or casual illusions. For exam
pie, the Richmond Times Dispatch pro-
tests against Mr.. Roosevelt's assertion
that the triumph Of the Northern armies
in 1865 was "the triumph OF the cause OF
freedom and Of the Union, and was es-
sential to the welfare OF mankind"
In some respects the South is very
fond of President Roosevelt, and had
he been reared a Southern man, he
would have been a splendid champion
of Southern rights. He would have
been most enthusiastic follower OF
Mars Robert, and if he had not been
one of Mosby's men, he would have
We'd with Stuart and Ashby in acts
OF gallantry and daring. He would
have been q leader, for nature has
made him so, and inspired by the
chivalry and heroism OF the boys iu
Gray, he would have been distinguish
ed as one of the fiercest of all Conied-
crate fighters.
And after the war, what q "strenu-
GUS" Democrat he would have BEEN!
How he would have resisted negro
domination! How he would have
damned the carpet baggers! How he
would have rung the changes on white
supremacy! And if, with that train
ing he had finally come to be Presi-
dent of the United States, he would
never have forced distasteful negro
appointments upon the Southern
people, and he would never have said
that "the triumph OF the cause OF
freedom and of the Union was essen
tial to the welfare of mankind"
The President is doing very well;
doing as we'll as the South could reas-
onably expect a Northern Republican.
to do. But he cannot see the past
and present from our point of view,
and without perfect understanding
there cannot be perfect sympathy.
But Mr.. Roosevelt is chivalrous, and
he is manly, and as far as he can un-
derstand he does sympathize with the
manly and chivalrous men of the
South, and the South likes him for it.
