CONGRESS
OPPOSES WITTE

BY Asssociated Press.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 22-AlE eyes
continue to be riveted on Moscow
where there is Il struggle in the
Zemstvo congress on the question of
supporting Premier Witte. Some
of the most powerful men in congress
are urging the necessity for rallyIng
to the moderately radical element:
which appears to make split in
evitable. Should the resolution to
support the Premier be carried, 1T
seems almost certain it Will be
coupled with conditions The idea
of constituent assembly seems to be
abandoned, but not the demand for
universal suffrage, to which the
Premier is likely to yield.

PLAN
AS TO BATES

Washington, D. c., Nov. 22-Sen-
qtor Elllins had his senate commit
tee on interstate and foreign com
MERGE meet today to take up the
railroad rate question. Speaking OF
the rate question the senator said:
'SMy idea is a measure for the
reference of all rate disputes, pas
senger and freight, to a court of in
ter-state commerce to be composed
of nine judges, one for each judicial
circuit; or for such disputes to be
referred to the circuit court judges
without the creation of new court
Congress at all times is opposed
to the creation of new courts or COM
missions, and for that reason the
new court plan would no doubt meet
with serious, opposition. | do not
believe that the Interstate commerce
commission should be allowed to deal
with the question. I would keep
that body intact, to discharge its
duties as at present, but could not
give it additional work of regulating
rates"
Senator Elltins hopes to be able
to convert the President to his way
of thinking, but has thus far signal
Nv failed in his attempt to do so. On
one occasion it is said that the Presi-
dent and Senator Elkins had rather
a warm argument over the matter.

SUPREME COURT
APPEARS N ERNHVE

For the first time in the history
of West Virginia the judges of the
Supreme Court Of Appeals appeared
n court this week attired in judges
robes. All the judges were present
1t the session and they looked very
impressive, with their magnificent
robes of heavy black grogran silk
falling in folds on the ground, as
they walked solemnly into the room !;
but all thought of looking sedate
and impressive left the faces of the
supreme judges when they started
mp the steps to the long bench. They
seemed to have forgotten that their
gowns were trailing the floor and to
walk up the steps without stepping
IN them it was necessary to lift
them 10. One Judge stumbled on
bis own gown and made grab for
the dress of the iudge-who preceded
him and for some little time all was
confusion in the endeavor to get
themselves together again. They
have come to the conclusion that
they will take day off fom duties
md practiceNEoing up and down the
steps in the court room, dressed in
their new robes.

ganized at the New Orleans Convention
January 26, 1904 to bring about har-
mony among the producers, merchants
and bankers SO as to advance the price
to ten cents per pound. The world
knows that through this powerful or
ganization the price of cotton was ad-
vanced to ten cents in the South on July
3rd, just five months later. Not only
this but the assistance given the Bear"
operators by certain officials in the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
was exposed through the efforts of the
Association and the rascals were prompt
ly turned out. This work has already
saved millions of dollars to the South
and will continue to do 80 if fostered and
maintained by the people. If the South
could advance the price of IA 900, 900
bale crop from six to ten cents, clearly
it would require but little cooperative
effort to secure not less than eleven cents
for 10000, 900 bale crop.
Let the people know the truth, know
the power Of their strength and then let
them act promptly and the victory for
higher prices will soon be won, then their
great staple will be selling at it's real
value to the world.

Printers Strike in Charlotte.
'tatesville Landmark, Sept. goth.

Statesville Landmark, Sept goth
The union printers in Charlotte
went on a strike Monday afternoon.
The three daily papers-the Observer,
the News and the ChrOnicie-and a
number of Job offices are involved.
The papers have appeared regularly
since the strike, though OF course
they are very short on reading mat
ter. The trouble arose over, a de-
mand for ali S-hour day made by the
International Typographical Union.
The S-hour day is to go into effect
January 1st but the demand is being
made now that employing printers
sign a contract to put the S-hour day
into effect at that time. This de-
mand is being made by the unions
throughout the country. In some
places it has been agreed to and
whenever it is refused a strike has
been ordered. 1t is the purpose of
the establishments refusing the de-
mand to work only non-union print
ers hereafter.
The demand for the 8-hour day was
made in Charlotte Monday. The
newspaper printers had been working
less than eight hours, Job printers
nine. The employing printers of
Charlotte refused them and, stating
that competition for job work in
Charlotte is so strong that to cut one
hour off the working day and con-
tinue to pay the same wages, as de-
manded, would mean a practical alb
olution OF all profit. While, as stated,
the newspaper printers were not af-
fected as to the eight hour arrange
ment and we're perfectly satisfied with
their hours OF work and pay, still, as
the Job men couldn't get what they
wanted, all union printers were re-
quired to walk out. This is one OF
the beauties of the union. When one
enters it he signs away all right OF
individual liberty so far as his work
is concerned.
The Charlotte papers say the fight
is already won; they deserved to win.
Of course they will be badly crippled
for some time but they are recruiting
their forces and will soon have or
ganized competent forces OF non-un-
ion men. While regretting the strike
the papers say the demands OF the
union had become int tolerable; thatno
sooner was one demand granted than
another was made; that the control
of their own business was practically
taken out Of their hands, about the
only thing left them being the privi-
lege of paying off. They express
qualification that this sort Of thing
is ended, say they are done with the
union for good and will hereafter run
their own business in their own way.

Concealed Weapon Carrying Demands
Attention.
New wbern journal.

New bern journal.
The casual reader of the local hap
penings published in the Journal may
not give serious thought to the rath-
er remarkable and unsavory record
of shootings, stabbings and attempts
to do both, which are of SO frequent
occurrence in this city and vicinity.
Crimes of the kind which grow out
of this carrying of concealed dead
ly weapons, are a serious menace to
the people of any community for it
is not always the directly interested
person who receives the injury, but
the innocent by-stander OF the un-
conscious lookeron. The shooting
or stabbing habit is easily acquired;
all that is necessary, is that the car
rying of a deadly weapon be lightly
dealt with by those entrusted with the
enforcement of the law, against car
rying such weapons.
The actual prevention OF crimes
from the pistol and knife Of course,
is a law which absolutely prohibits
their carrying, and it is not by a
mere statute which prohibits carrying
that the best effect is to come, but
by some law which shall make the
sale of deadly weapons prohibitory
to those who have no business in
having in their possession such in
struments Of possible harm dealing
and crime making.
This age does not warrant pistol
or dirk carrying, and the fact that
those who carry such weapons, keep
them concealed, proves the vicious
and dangerous purpose for which
they must be carried. People are
taxed to pay for the protection of
life and property, and yet often the
taxpayer Will deem it necessary to
violote the law, by carrying a pistol
for supposed self protection, when
the fact OF his carrying such a wea-
pom is most likely to breed the very
trouble he is supposed to be wardlng
off.
The Chief of Police ought to be
kept informed ofevery deadly weapon
sold and to whom, and the party
who purchases ought to be known,
and his reason for carrying a pistol
or knife should be of sufficient weight
or else he should be disarmed and
fined.
The city officials have ordered the
strict enforcement OF the Ordiances,
now let the deadly concealed weapon
be also enforced, and there will be a
better and a safer city.

That President Roosevelt has
grown in fame is not to be denied.
The recent laudation that has come
to him from abroad for his efforts to
promote peace between Russia and
Japan is not begrudged here or any
where. But how much has he in
creased in power at home? OF what
avail will his prestige in Europe and
Cathay be with the Congress of the
United States? When it last met he
urged it to do several important
things for the good of the country.
Congress did nothing Mr.. Roosevelt
asked of it.. 1t remains now to be
seen whether another session of an
other Congress will acknowledge the
renown and puisance of Theodore
Roosevelt enough to do one thing
that he will ask Of it.-Richmond

The Responsibility of Parents
Guarding Children.
Newton News.

Newton News.
The terrible outrage that came to
light in Raleigh recently in which a
young man was shot and two daugh-
ters worse than killed, ought to
arouse parents with reference to their
children S associates
In this fast age, when the tendency
is to make young women of girls
when they are by nature and ought
to be by training mere children; when
our boys must be men, smoke cigar
cites, curse, do like men do, by the
time they are II to u years of age,
parents need not be surprised at the
results which frequently follow.
How many girls are allowed to go
out and their parents not only not
with them, but do not even know
where they are, or with whom they
associate.
But how shall we know who is a
suitable companion? 1t is true it is
difficult to tell who is who, but one
thing is sure, when a married man is
taking peculiar interest in a young
16-yearOld girl, as was the case with
one OF the parties in Raleigh, then
you may be sure that such a man is
no fit associate for your girl. But
how shall we know when our dauuh-
ters are in such company? 1t is our
business and very important busi-
ness, too, to know where and with
whom our children associate.
We need to go back TO the DAYS OF
our fOrefathers in the matter of rails
ing our children.
Ii we allow our children to grow
up and drift among evil associates
while III tender years, we will be likely
to repent in bitter tears when it is
too late.
