President Roosevelt seems to have
been entirely too hasty in expressing
his lack of confidence in the local man
ayers of the relief work in San Fran
cisco and in %censuring the people of
that city for alleged discrimination
against the Chinese in the matter of
extending aid to those in need. He
should not have issued such orders
without being positive that the condi-
tons we're such as he presumed them
TO be. These orders were a serious re-
Election on the relief committees and
on the people of the stricken city.

THE SUICIDE MANIA.

The suicide mania is spreading with
appalling rapidity. 1t has infected the
whole country. The accounts in the
papers of suicides occur with increasing
frequency. There are a greater num-
Der than ever before Of persons who
take their own lives without any ap-
parent cause and who commit the deed
while in the full possession of all their
mental faculties. Wilmington has OF
late had her full share OF this class Of
casualties.
1t is fearful enough to contemplate
the little value that is placed upon life
as evidenced by the many murders and
homicides on slight p~royocation
which are committed throughout the
country, but the increasing number Ct
instances in which men and women
take their W lives for trivial causes
gives a better idea of the slight value
that is placed upon life. 1t seems as
if men of today look upon death SIM
ply as the means WnereDy the worries
and anxieties of life may be avoided.
With these there seems to be no
thought of what there may be for them
beyond deaths door. If they give it a
thought it has no weight. The one idea
is of escaping the worries of their life
which they think not worth the effort
to overcome. Life is held so cheaply
that it is readily given up for the
come. No man places less value on life
than the suicide and no man shows
greater cowardice than he who prefers
abandoning life to fighting against it's
Universities and misfortunes.

THE STAND-PATTERS AT BAY.

The San Francisco disaster has
brought the stand-patters face to face
with a question as to the tariff which
is causing them much concern They
cannot afford to oppose the PROPOSE
tons now pending in congress and they
are afraid if they yield the whole
question of tariff revision may be
forced upon them. The trouble with
them is how to handle the bills which
have been introduced to admit free of
duty steel, lumber and building mate
rial to be used in the rebuilding of
that city. The Charlotte Observers
Washington correspondent sums the
situation up as follows:
Just at the moment when the speak
er, the Paynes, Dalzells, Aldriches and
others had the stand pat" game
framed up to their satisfaction, along
comes the proposition to admit free OF
duty steel. lumber and building ma
terial for the reconstruction of San
Francisco. Several bills were intro
duced yesterday, and more will follow.
It is believed that the bill will pass
congress taxing the Outy OIL OIL Steel'
The "stand-patters'' don't see their
way clear to defeat the proposition.
In the first place, there is precedent
for it in the case of the Chicago fire,
when congress took similar action. In
the next place, h word has already
gone out that American steel works
are behind in their orders n cannot
fill acquisitions to the extent demand
ed by the San Francisco situation. Steel
will be demanded for every business
structure, it is thought. In the last
place, which will be the first Ccr sidera-
ton in determining the issue, the coun-
try probably would not tolerate the
spectacle of h steel trust barring the
way against i~mportations for the
stricken city from abroad, while at the
very moment it was selling steel cheap.
er to foreign than to the
home demand.
But what an inspiration this viii
be to the tariff ~revisionists," walled the
stand-patters. TT will open up the
whole tariff question. furnish an OBJ
ject lesson that the plain man can see
and the learned man cann01 refute
We are surely up against It."

PROFITS IN

It is surprising that the people OF
eastern North Carolina have not paid
more attention to the raising of SOUP.
pernong grapes. Heretofore there has
been little market for this fruit, but
now there is a home demand for all
that can be raised and at remuneratiVe
prices. The soil of this section of the
state is the very kind for this grape.
It is the least expensive crop that can
be raised. After the vines are put out
about the only expenses are the posts,
the wiring and the gathering. There Is
10 danger of loss of crop by frost.
Until the vines are large enough to be-
gin producing the and can be used Tor
growing vegetables. The cultivation
Of the scuppernong is easy. When
the vines once begin bearing there is
a certain annual crop at little cost and
producing a net income per acre which
no other crop will surpass.
The vines should be set out twenty
lpGI dDdI Ill lo"o III bAi
from each other. This will give n
hundred and ten vines to the acre. Al
the lowest estimate, these vines at
five wears of age will produce four
bushels each. This Of curse will In
crease with the growth Of the ines.
There is a standing offer from home
market for these grapes at s~eventy-fVe
cents a bushel. All that can be pro-
d1ced can be sold at that price to he
wineries.
An acre will produce, five years after
setting, at the least estimate, four
hundred and forty bushels, which Will
bring three hundred and thirty dollars,
with very little to be deducted for ex-
penses. Of course there will be returns
from the vines before they are i've
years old, and after that age receipts
per acre will be greatly increased, with
very little additional expense.
A man with ten acres in these grapes
will have an assured and Independent
income, with plenty of time on his
hands for farming and truck growing.
The demand for scuprernong grapes
is far beyond the supply. Persons 60
ing into this business need not fear
finding no market. When the capac-
tiles OF the home wineries are reached
others will be established and the de-
mand will be increased. Other parties,
we are told, are ready to come in and
establish them as 500 as assured
that the fruit can be secured in sufh-
cient quantities to make 1t worth
while putting them up.
There is big none in scuppernong
raising for those who will go into 1t.
We want to see a number CT our farm
ers and truckers turn their attention
to this industry. If we find n in this
section interested in this matter we
will have something more to say on the
subject in the near future.
