Wasted Energy.


Senator Tillman, of South Caro-.
lima, and Thomas Dixon, of New
York, each possesses some ability.
But as they have deliberately Sc
lected the race question. and the Gull
tivation of. racial hatred as q ladder
upon which to climb to fame, it is
difficult to guess how high or low
either might have gone had they
pursued legitimate career.
On the other hand, the negroes of
the South ought to be delivered from
their friends. The negro preachers,
politicians and other would be lead
ers in Washington, Philadelphia,
New York and Chicago who are for
ever "protesting'' and raising the
dust about what Tillman and Dixon
say and write, are probably as un-
wise and INSCRIPTIONS as Til man
and Dixon in what they are doing.
Tillmsn and Dixon are trying to be
great leaders and coin gold ; the ne
gro preachers and politicians in the
large cities are trying to do the same
thing-fool the members Of their
own race out Of good deal of cash

was a tragedy on Main street, in

the store of B. W. Hobgood by a

From information that has been

there has been a long standing

Tonight, according to the hest that
can be secured, Goss entered the
store and. placing his hand behind
him, in his pistol pocket. made some
remark that was not heard by those

ris pulled his pistol and fred the fa-

The President deals with the cor.
poration question. He believes thai
government regulation is advisable
He refers to the railroad tate law
the beef inquiry, the pure food Law
and others to show the value Of gov
eminent regulation. He favors ar
inheritance and Income tax. Mr.
Roosevelt discusses the divorce prob
lem and believes that national legis
istion is necessary TO remedy thu
evil. He also refers to race suicide
and its harmful effect upon the ma
ton.

"This would have been the second

zion IF two judges at large whose
duty it shall be to hold courts In case
of the illness Of the regular judge
or to hold special terms. 1t appears
that in order to do this Article ~,

have to amended. However this
may be, something should be done
to remedy the evil of clogging our

sence of the regular judge"

Americas Cotton Supremacy.
Washington Herald

The sway of American cotton in
the commerce of the world was never
more firmly established than now.
Great Britain and all the leading
Continental consumers Of the staple
from this country have for many
years been trying the experiments
of raising cotton in their colonial
possessions of Africa, India and else
where, but they have never, even
with the greatest degree of success.
been able to produce a cotton quite
the equal in fiber to that grown in
the Southern States of the United
States. There appears to be, there
fore, reasonable excuse for the fact
that the Southern cotton planter has
become an optimist. He has good
cause to look hopefully to the flu
ture, not only on account of the SUI
periority of the staple grown by
him, but for the reason that the cot
ton industry has become ramified in
variety of important ways through
the utilization Of the byproducts of
the plant in a way which contin-
ually adds to his profit. These by
products of cottonseed, cottonseed
oil, cake and. indeed, every particle
Of the plant. from root 10 leaf, have
been doing wonders for the . nth
10 the past quarter OF century.
1t ha- been but little while since
cotton seed became heaped alb ut the
gins, ignored and neglected, aud re-
gardei even as a nuisance. Seventy
years sgo an attempt was made at
Natchez. Miss to make oil from
cotton seed, and it was failure.
Thirty years ago it was tried at Mem
phis with similar result. Both fall
ores made the pioneers of the In
dustry subject to ridicule. But 1t
was tried again and again, and with
such success that c0ttonseed oil is
now exported all over the civilized
world. and forms one of the most
profitable of exports from the Uni
ted States. Cotton and the bypro-
ducts of cotton enable this country
to rest secure as to maintaining its
balance of trade with the world. Its
commercial supremacy will never be
in peril while cotton grows.

The Situation m to the Colored Voter.
Union Republican
The Charlotte Observer quotes the
following paragraph from paper
printed by colored people at Char
Iotte, called the "Star of Zion," and
endorses the sentiment saying,
among other things. that 1t is san
agreeable picture for the white
friends Of the coiored race to look
upon :"
"North Carolina negroes were
never 30 prosperous as they are to-
day, and in the main are honest,
honorable and progressive. Every
high school and college in the State
for negroes is crowded aud the pub
lie schools full to OVERLOOKING. A
majority Of the negroes who vote at
all, we believe, cast their ballots for
Democrats, being sick and tired of
silly white Republicans. There is
a more liberal spirit shown by the
white citizens of the Old North
State towards their negro neighbors
than we have seen since the stormy
days of '98-1900. The material ad
vancement Of the State was never
before equaled and negroes are 'be-
having themselves wei. and adding
their full proportion to the product
i've interests of the State as the OBJ
server justly remarks"
Poor Mr.. Negro, it SCENE, is now
content to lick the hand that smote
him. If the Star of z on wants Its
people to vote the democratic ticket,
all good and we'll. Those who can
vote have right to express their
choice (if they vote the democratic
ticket) and the democratic party has
right to encourage the negroes to
vote the democratic ticket solidly,
instead Of ''cribbing" their votes as
they formerly did, and still pride
themselves on being called the 30
called "white mans party" The
situation is indeed ridiculous.
We note another clipping as to
how the negro voted in the last cleo
ton from Mr.. Fred Olds' Raleigh
correspondence, as follows:
The Republicans are now declar-
ing that most of the negroes In the
State who voted at the last election
voted the democratic ticket. Men
from half a dozen counties who
heard this remark declare they
knew it to be true in their particu-
lar county.
1t was very evident that some
thing was going on like unto the
above, for we heard Of no shooting
of negroes and no alarms about the
viciOusness of the negroes curing
election, and Halifax and other east
ern counties did not count more
democratic votes than there were
voters in their respective counties,
as they used to do when they said
all the negroes voted the Republican
ticket. There must be an easiness
of confidence to some Of the hereto
fore high handed democrotic ward
manipulators. Our democraticf riends
are always welcome to all they get
fairly, but fraud or corruption in
politics is drawback to any State.
