IF the holders of SPOT cotton only
knew how they have the world seWcd

while longer and not weaken. The

and The worlds requirements are
large. In my Judgment the balance
OF this crop can be sold for ten cents
per pound, and the next crop FOR that
much or more. If holders will continue
TO hold and reduce their acreage and

the lite convention held In New Or.

The above extract is taken from q
letter written 10 a gentleman in Raj

His opinion is entitled to as mucn

AS long as Mr.. Cover, Mr.. Stewart,

bucket shop bills in the House with
division of sentiment as to which was
best. the gambling concerns hoped to
emasculate one bill ana let it pass.
But when Mr.. Woodland combined all
those bills into one bill, embracing
also the Merrimon act, with ma
chinery that secures evidence, they
saw they were up against it. when
The House Committee gave 1t q fa-
vorable Recommendation, and trans
forred their fight to the Senate, and
are now pleading to protect "legiti-
mate concerns" which are no better
than the concerns that pretend To be
nothing but bucket shops" They
are al! alike in the results. the diff
ference being only in the veneering
as Mr. Woodland has clearly and
strongly shown.
The gambling in these shops.
whether bucket or tub. whether lit
tie or big, has done more harm than
all the craps and little gambling
which the law vigorously Furnishes.
Is gambling wrong? Then punish
the big gamblers as well<as the lit
tie ones. and shut up these shops that
rob the State of enough money every
year to build million dollar factory.

IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

A newspaper must do it's duty with

appreciation or the fear of condenlna
ton. re it does right. it will win tn
approval of tbs conscience of its edi-
tor and the respect of the great pubic

thing. But it will receive little APP
probation from many who are helped
" its support. No truer thing was
ever written than the following para
graph in the current issue of the
Goldsboro Weekly Record:
"A newspaper may devote a col
umn IN the praise or commentator
of man and he will forget it in a
couple Of weeks. but two-line item
that is not altogether pleasing, will be
remembered by the average man for
two years."
If the Record would add that some
men forget the praise and remember
the item mot altogether pleasing for
n life time it would not go too far.
But the Record is mistaken in saying
that this applies to "the average
man" IT applies to the exceptional
man. The great majority OF men are
appreciative, just and fair. The wise
editor is he who expects no returns
for doing his duty except to win his
own self respect and the appreciation
of the many he can never know, and
who are sure TO put in the long run
the correct value upon. his public SER

THE LAW Is NEEDED.

A bill has been introduced in tho
Senate to require the Corporation
Commission to make examination OF
all tracks and require railroads to
keep them in a safe condition. ana
to confer in the plai1lest terms au-
thority on the Corporation Commits
sion to require railroads to keep their
tracks in proper condition and to pro-
vide adequate service.
We give TO the Corporation COM
mission the power to assess railroads
for taxation, to fix rates, and TO DO
many other important things but do
not require them to protect the life
Of passengers as should be done.
The rotten tie wreck on the South
ern Railway and other wrecks might
have been prevented by requiring the
examination Of tracks. with power to
require all tracks put in q safe condi-
ton. Only few days ago there was
an accident on the Pittsboro road that
shows the necessity for a proper re-
ouiremcnt to protect life. The Chat
ham Record gives these particulars:
Just after the train had passed the
road crossing near Gum Spring car
ran off the track and could not be put
back until next morning. 1t was an
oil-tank car filled with cotton seed Oil
from the mill at this. place. and was
much heavier than the average frelSht
car.

s"The. truth is. the entire road. from
here to Moncure, is in a dangerous
condition. and q serious accident is
liable to happen any day. The rails
arc VERY old and badly worn, and all
ought to be replaced with better ones.
Sometime ago il was notorious that
the Chapel Hill branch road Was so
unsafe that the train had to creep
along. It is said that the reason the
Southern refused to wait at Selma for
the connection was because the track
between Goldsboro and Greensboro
was not in sufficiently safe condition
for them to make the same schedule
they can make between Greensboro
and Charlotte

1T WILL NOT EFFECT ANY
CHANGE.

There was circulated yesterday in
the General Assembly, in the interest
OF the distillery town tso-called) of
n. Glenn Williams a circular that he
doubtless expects to have the effect OF
causing this legislature to make tht
same blunder made by the last legis.
lature. to-wit: give that town special
er distilleries. This circular contains
eight letters from. prominent Demo-
Gratis. written before the introduction
Of the Ward bill. expressing their
opinion that the legislature ought no.
10 interfere with the Williams distil-
lery. Most of these letters had been
privately shown before the vote in the
Senate. The legislators made this re-
ply to. them: "These gentlemen have
Ia. right to their views; we have a
right to our convictions. We will rep
resent the sentiment of the over
whelming majority in favor Of tll1
Ward bill, declining to be influenced
by the views of others or to accepr
dictation from any party committee
which was attempted to be imposed
on us"
We happen to know that some OF
the letters printed we're written out
of pure kindness of heart by old
schoolmates or friends without ref1ec,
ton or consideration, and that the
gentlemen Who wrote them never had
any idea that they were to be used
ili an attempt to influence members
of the General Assembly. Besides
these gentlemen do not intimate that
they would have the legislature to
make an exception of a particular
distnlery in a general law that APP
lies to the whole State. Even il they
should advocate that proposition. no
legislator would be Justified i'll yotira
