resolutions, considered by the railroad
seminate broadcast and to introduce
before the national labor organization
verbatim have in fact but infinitesimal
importance. Salisbury has over
twelve hundred representatives of or
ganized labor. the action of four of
whom it would seem has been taken
as the voice of the whole throughout
the country. Whether these four spoke
the sentiment of their fellows or not,
the limitation which their action
places upon the Salisbury resolu-
tons will operate to rob them of any
ins accredited representative of the
Salisbury Unions though he may be,
does not deny that the action which
he is so heartily espousing as to tour
the State as a missionary in it's behalf
was the work of but four men out Of
twelve hundred.
Organized labor, like every other
class of citizenship. has very real in
terest in the passage or failure of the
Esch-Townsend bin, but it is an inter-
terest which should not find official
expression at the hands of a few men
meeting together and attempting to
speak for the whole as a matter of
politeness to a travelling brother seek
ing endorsement for a set of resolu
tions which were representative only
in their assumption. Let all labor or
CARNATIONS which he may visit turn
out in full force to hear him, let there
be a full discussion of the issues from
both sides and let the union men vote
their beliefs as they may seee them
after a thorough understanding of the
points involved both from the stand
point of the railroads and the people.

ANOTHER COTTON PICKER.

1--WE do not need any patent cotton
picker" said a Richmond county
farmer this week. 1--WE would make
a crop of twenty-five million bales of
cotton if a successful cotton picker
that would do the work of half a doz-
en- was invented. and such big crop
would make cotton so low that cotton
farmers would starve.'
But soon the world will need
twenty-five million bales" was the re-
ply" The day of naked savages and
poorly clothed Chinese is passing
away and soon the world will be de-
manding more cotton
But whether it would be a good
thing or not, inventors keep on ex-
perimenting on cotton picking mach
ines. The latest is called the Camp
bell Cotton Picker, and a recent test
made in Shreveport, La, and is said
to have been very successful. The
Times describes the new picker, which
will make a saving of about seventy
five per cent. in the cost of picking. 1t
will gather 81 per cent. at the first
picking, and six per cent. on the next
round, and will leave only three per
cent to be picked by hand. 1t will
pick ten acres a day and the cost of
operating will be zen dollars. The
Times adds:
THE cotton picker is about the size
of a small automobile, having a nine
foot base. The machine is provided
with arched axles, for straddling the
rows of cotton plants The picking
mechanism is arranged in two drums,
one on either side of the row, from
which project fingers of needles, which
revolve, engaging the open cotton.
The backward travel of these fingers
ic compensated for by the forward
travel of the machine, so that each
spindle or finger remains stationary
so far as the plant is concerned, be-
ing Withdrawn from the plant in the
rear of the machine, while still ro-
tating, until it reaches a triple bar.
where the fingers cease to rotate. Be-
ing drawn through the tripper bar the
cotton is released and thrown by
spiked roller on to an elevator belt,
which deposits it in the basket. The
finger then passing on forward, is
translated to an extended position and
carried directly into the plant, be-
ginning to rotate the minute the point
enters the plant"

A CONTEMPT CASE.
Judge Jones Threatened to Attach
Rev. b. w. Mebane, of Mt. Airy,
for Contempt of Court.

What some say came near devel-

OF Judge E. b. Jones at Dobson court
by Rev. B. w. Mebane, of this city.
DR.. Mebane is one OF the most prOml-

a firm stand for the right, as he sees
1t. After the parties who were pros
ccuted for selling liquor in this city
had either plead guilty or been con-
Victed several citizens went before
Judge Jones and told him of the con-
dition of this city and of the reputa-
ton of the firms who were on trial.
DR.. Mebane was one of these and ne
told His Honor that these men had
the reputation of conducting their bus
mess so that it amounted to an open
bar room but kept their places more
respectable than a bar room. The
Judge rendered his decision and made
the fine $4,000 when he had during
the week been threatening to send men
to the roads who had violated the
liquor law in small way and had
made the line all the man could posi-
bly, pay. sized the pile as he ex-
pressed it. When Dr. Mebane heard
the sentence he was indignant to say
the least, and he freely expressed him
self He said the men should have
been fined $250.00 in each case and
the fines at this rate would have
to as much as 81 900 each;
that the Judges action was trav-
esty on justice and that the men who
had prosecuted them for violating the
law should feel grateful that His Hon
or did not put the prosecutors in Jail
for molesting a respectable bar room

ing the year 1905 he has raised sup

pense of the institution for this year
the inventory taken shows that the

neat sum of $4,000 over and above

in which Mr. Strickland has managed
