A week ago some people in Georgia

cotton. A penny d liner sent out a
telegram that 5000 bales were burned
and that the South had deliberately

broadcast by special correspondents
looking for something sensational.
Why is it that reputable newspapers
feature stories Of silly incidents in The
South and give scant attention to
those incidents that are truly repre-
sentative of the Southern sentiment
Here is n case in point from the
Winston Sentinel:

A Fayetteville gentleman met on

ways ready to endorse all movements
which mean progress or reform, and
the influence of his paper is very
great all over North Carolina.
Notwithstanding the excellent back
ing which this suggestion already has,
the News wishes to add a hearty
Amen" We have heretofore taken
occasion in these columns to speak of
the high responsibility placed by our
North Carolina constitution upon the
Superior court judges, and no further
word upon that subject is necessary.
We know of several men now Su-
perior court judges who, as such, are
a power for good throughout the
State, and yet who are seriously de-
batting the question as to whether they
can afford to take another term, even
though their election be assurd. The
practice of law in our State is becom-
ing more lucrative each year, our
great industrial futre will make it
increasingly so, under Republican rule
the price of living is steadily advanc-
ing, therefore the tWenty-eight hun
dred dollar salary of a Superior court
judge is not so attractive to the sue
cessful lawyer as it was five or ten
years ago. On all sides representative
business men may be heard to say
that there is one thing the Legislature
ought to do, and that is TO raise the
judges salaries. This very remark
was made to the writer three days
ago by one of Charlotte's leading busi-
ness men, gentleman who is not a
lawyer and takes no interest in poll
ties. He was merely looking at the
matter from the standpoint of pub
lie welfare
The statement is constantly made
that the salaries of the sheriff, clerk,
and register of deeds in Wake. Neck
lenburg and othr large countess are
greater than that of the Governor OF
North Carolina. We have not inves-
tigated this question thoroughly, but
certainly the matter of salaries for diff
ferent public Offices is all cut of pro-
portion in this State.
II seems almost absurd for the
Judge who presides over a court to
receive a smaller income than the
clerk who registers his DEGREES, or
than the sheriff who keeps order and
executes his official mandates
1t is argued that judges are willing
to go on the bench for the sake of
the honor; this is true, and this fact
alone has kept the Superior court
bench up to its present standard But
our contention is that if conditions
continue as they are. even the honor
of being judge will not induce men to
give up lucrative practice, and that
men without means cannot afford to
be judges
Ey all means let us keep our ju-
dietary able and upright

worthy. then it is more important to
put more land in peas, clover, etc,
and do more for what is cultivated.
Over-worked land like an over-worked
horse needs rest as well as feed, and
1T is poor economy to over-work and
under-feed either. Twenty acres TO
the plow leaves time TO SOW peas and
keep the crop clean. but thirty acres
leaves no time for anything else but
grass if a wet year If there is mot
going to be a material holding of cot
ton seed out of the ground next spring
there is no use holding cotton now.
The plan to take cotton and advance
six cents on it is very nice. Why
should any one advance the price
when he has got all the cotton he
wants.
