Mn. SIMPSON MAKES DENIAL.

Commenting on the editorial utter
ance of the Raleigh Evening Times
suggesting that the schedule of the
Southern Railway train which leaves
Raleigh in the early morning should
be changed SO as to leave before mid
night, change which would abso-
lutely deprive this paper of any feast
Die schedule by which it could reach
its thousands of western subscribers
on the morning or even day of publi-
cation, we stated in our Sundays is
sue that the policy of the Times since
the demise of the Southern Railway s
organ, the Morning Post had been so
nearly synonymous with that of the
corpse as to suggest that, though dy-
ing, the Southern yet spoke in Raleigh
in the afternoon instead of the morn
ing. This policy has been, especially
with regard to the attitude of our
evening contemporary towards this
paper, so many-featured in its like
ness to the dear departed Post as to
arouse a suspicion which was general
rather than professional. In the par
ticular matter of the demand for a
change of schedule, this paper had
even been fore-warned from several
sources that the program would be as
it appeared to develop in the Times.
Under all the circumstances the evil
dence of the apparent fulfilment of
the prophecy seemed to be cumula-
tive.
Yesterday. however. Mr.. r. w.
Simpson, editor of the Times, called
to see the editor of this paper And,
prefacing his remarks by the state
ment that he did not think We would
knowingly continue to convey a false
impression as to the ownership of the
Times, stated that the same was owned
by Messrs. John c. Drewry and Geo.
Is. Crater and offered to exhibit the
books of the paper in confirmation of
his statement. OF course the books
were not examined by us. Mr.. Simp-
son is a gentleman whose statements
we receive at par. Whatever he may
say as to the ownership of the Times
We do not need to be convinced is said
honestly We are glad to learn from
him that the Post is not reSurrected
in the Times. We have had no desire
for controversy with that paper. When,
following upon policy tending to ex-
cite suspicion, it advocated a measure
pre-suggested which would have the
effect of killing this paper as news
medium with its army of western SUD-
scribers, we spoke simply in self-de-
fense. That schedule has been III
force for twenty-five years except as
NV having been made earlier it has
operated to the disa adVantage OF the
News and Observer. In protection OF
the rights of its subscribers, this pa
per shall at least see that it is furth-
er changed to its hurt only over its
most vigorous protest.

FIFTEEN CENT COTTON IN SIGHT.

With spot cotton running ahead OF
the future market and farmers refus-
ing twelve and a half cents for July
delivery, it seems that the growers
are truly in the saddle. Under such
conditions the price of fifteen cents
and even more, becomes as near Il
certainty as anything pertaining to
the cotton market can ever come TO
be- The spot markets are to great
extent the real barometer of cotton
values. When the mills and the con-
sumers interests become SO anxious to
buy that the present price of the ac-
tual article goes beyond that offer
ed for future delivery, it IS an evil
dence that the market is standing
on it's own legs. Such a demand in
dicates that the interests which have
got to have the cotton are convinced
as to it's future. When the buyers
OF the real cotton turn bulls, it means
that the supply is short. When, as
must sooner or later happen, the fu-
ture markets having failed to con-
troll the spot situation commence to
respond fully to the logic of facts,
there may be a boom which Will
make the Sully furor of a year
or more ago whispering breeze
by comparison, The market of this
season mas been consistently strong
and upward without any marked SEN
sational bulges. 1t is to be hoped that
il will continue in that mood. but the
fifteen cent limit is due if it is not TO
be exceeded.
The beauty of this Christmas high
cotton is the fact that the farmers
have brought the condition to pass.
They have acted together with wisdom
and determination and yet with res
traint They have taught the world a
lesson in organization. To great eX-
tent their success has been due to in
dividual honor among the farmers
who have given their pledges and lived
up to them. The crop is short. the
farmers have as rule been obtaining
good prices for such cotton as they
have sold and thew have in reserve IN
amount sufficient to insure for the
balance the price which they have de-
termined to obtain. In Wake county,
alone, it is estimated that there are
from three and a half to four thous-
and bales OF cotton unmarketed. If
anything like. this prorortion of re-
serve is held in the nine hundred cot
ton producing counties, and there Is
every evidence that there is, the total
amount in reserve which cannot be
had for less Than fifteen cents is sur
ficient to make the crop available TO
the world at a less price something
like seven million bales. In the face
of annual needs for consumption of
100000 bales. it will be seen that
the farmers control the situation. 1t
is a victory which the world Will APP
inland.

Albert r. Patrick, the condemned
murderer of the millionaire Rice, Is
a wise man. He Will not let him
3alf be forgotten. Conducting his
own case from his cell, he has so
far prolonged his life several years
Now, he is reported as having taken
an interest in the case of a fellow
prisoner sentenced TO the electric
chair and with having prepared for
him a motion to be argued in the
courts for an arrest of sentence In
his case. Patrick, IL defiance of the
conventions, is now demanding that
he be permitted to represent his
client in the courts. Patrick is some
thing more than a lawyer in that he
is a student of human nature. He
relies on the fact that reiteration Of
good humour and enthusiasm serve
better than anything else to create
a doubt of guilt and a belief in good
ness. Patrick IS playing the game to
the last card. HIS life must seem to
him but an exaggerated stake. If,
tn the end. the deal goes clearly
against him, it is an even venture
whether he will not cheat ms an
tagonist of his winnings Whatever
may come. Patrick is not the man
to go meekly to the electric chair.
