Amendment Unconstitutional.

State Secretary S. F. Vance has
received a report from the law COM
mittee of the National Council,
Junior Order United American
Mechanics, on the amendments to
the State constitution as passed
at the last meeting of the North
Carolina council in Salisbury last
February. In it's report the Ma
tlonal committee approved article
2, section 2, making juniors past
State councillor and State treas
urer members of the executive
board, but disapproves and de,
clares the amendment to article
5, section 2, increasing the per
capita tax for the purpose of build
ing and maintaining all orphans
home in the State illegal and un-
constitutional. It appears that
the building and maintaining of
an orphans home is unconstitu-
tional from the fact that it is not
one of the objects of the order,
and the members cannot be taxed
to pay anything that is not in the
nhioct IF tho or1or
The national council has for one
of it's objects the building and
maintaining of a national orphans
home and can therefore tax the
State councils for such purpose,

Mrs. Jefferson DAVIS III.

Mrs. Jefferson Davis is danger
ously i'll from grip at her apart
ment in the Hotel Gerard in this
city. Mrs. Davis is now nearly
80 years of age and it is feared tho
attack may prove serious on &C.
count of her age. Mrs. J. A.
Hayes. Mrs. Davis daughter, has
been summoned by telegraph.
Mrs, Davis caught a severe cold a
week ago. Nothing was thought
of this until warning symptoms
testified to the attack of grip. DR..
Robert II. Wylie is attendieg Mrs.
Davis. In addition to her SER
wants, a trained nurse is in con-
slant attendance upon the aged
woman. It was said at the hotel
that grave doubts were held as to

Cotton Killed in iredeI.

The indications here are that
the unusual cool spell this week
has resulted in much damage to
crops, especially cotton and vege-
tables. There was frost Tuesday
and Wednesday mornings, but
yesterday morning there was a
killing frost and from all over the
county where cotton is grown came
reports that all cotton up had
been killed by the frost. In ad-
dition to the damage to cotton
the frost yesterday also hurt early
vegetables and it is probably also
that the cool spell will affect the
fruit that was not far enough ad.
vanced to withstand it. The low.
est the thermometer registered
was SO, but farmers coming in
from north Iredell report some ice.

May Down Rollins and Butler.

Representative Blackburn, of
North Carolina, seems to have
complete control of the party in
his State, and the indications
point to the political death Of for
mer Senator Butler and Chairman
Rollins at the test of strength this
year. Blackburn has just come
through a trial for practicing be-
fore the department which declar-
ed HIM guiltless, The trial arous-
ed a great deal of sympathy for
him and when the verdict was
handed down Blackburn found
himself more popular than he had
ever been in his State. While
Blackburn promised to capture
the Republican organization over
Butler and Rollins, it will not be
surprising if the North CAROLYN
lans repudiate the whole clique
and send a Democrat to Washing
ton to represent the mountain dis
trict, which only went Republican
by 200 votes. -Washington Cores

Frost Kills Cotton.

Reports from all parts of Neck

ed that a good part of the cotton

farmers for cotton seed for replant-

plantation stated that he would

farmers even yesterday began plow-

now vainly denounce.
1t is the duty Of every man (includ-
ing preacherS) to be lin politics." 1t
is the duty Of every citizen to sacri-
flee his preference and his interests j ia
order to hold Office. Our public repu-
tation is a matter which concerns
every n Of us. We cannot afford to
neglect it. Moreover, it concerns the
whole world. We are the outstanding
example Of a people engaged in gov
erning themselves. If we fail, the
cause of popular government is set
back. We are notably a christian ma
tion-that is, a nation influenced to
an unusual degree by the ethics and
the doctrines OF christianity. If this
makes us progressive and prosperous
only to develop universal corruption,
we shall be but a poor advertisement
OF the clinical value of the christian
religion. 1t is a shame. anyhow, for
a nation nominally christian to be
governed by men who are VIGOROUSLY
unchriStian. Yet it is too much to
say that the predOminating sentiment
in a majority Of Our state and munich
pal governments is 4 sentiment openly
diSregaldful Of, if not OutSpokenly
hostile to-. the fundamental tenetS of
christianity?
We urge our readers to think on
these things. Every good man ought
to be conscientiOusly afraid Of refuS-
ing to hold office. If called upon to
do SO, he owes it to his country, he
owes it to humanity, he 1--WE it to

race, to accept the call. And we
would that preachers were more out

science. This was the principal theme
OF lSrael'S prophets. Paul was ready
to be anathema for his peoples sake.
Religion was Il message TO society, as
Nel! as TO the individual; FIR society
determines the opportunities and the
environment of the individual. Chris
is potent not only to save men
but to save man, and every christian
ought to have pride in doing whatever
may be within his power to prove

THE lotion MARKET.

The cotton market at present is in.

nate|y the impression has gone abroad
that there will be a bumper crpc
gathered, and upon this basis the
world is c~ndeavOring to fix the price OF
a commodity that the South almost
alone raises and on which all the bal
ance OF the world must have. The
Southern Cotton Association has taken
a very conservative view of conditions
and demanded d price of 10 cents.
Whether the farmers realize this or
not depends alone upon them. The
situation is in their hands. They
raise it. 1t is the result OF their toll
and they will he everywhere endorsed
and applaudcd for demanding a fair
and legitimate price for it. If they
take fright and rush the cotton on the
market, they will be faced with de-
pressed prices. The spinnerS and
spectators realize that there is Il
certain mount OF cotton that is bound
to be sold at this season of the year.
Many farmers are compelled to sell in
order to meet pending obligations,

GOOD MEN IN OFFICE.
J. Il. BREWER

The problem Of American politics
especially as concerns local govern.
ments, Of municipalities and counties
etc. is to secure the active interest o.
good citizens. Bad men are always
forward to Secur the advantage which
public Office c~OnferS, for themselves or
for their friends, Good men are often
not good citizens. They dislike poll
tics" and with good reason: it is
likely to be a dirty business. But it
is a business, the business Of us all.
and we can scarcely justify ourselves
for stunning it because it is unplcaS-
ant. Yet many a merchant who de-
lights t. build up the reputation of
his firm for enterprise and fair dealing
cannot be induced TO eXpend some OF
his energies in raising the tone of the
municipal council of the city in which
his business is located. The banker
who studies day and night to make
the name of his bank synonymous
with pr1bity and progress refuse nor
riied the request OF his friends that
he stand for election to the state
legislature.
The reason bad men want Office is
not far TO seek. They use it as a
leverage for advancing personal inte!-l
e5tS-for stealing, in short. Hence it
pays them well. But the legitimate
enOluments Of it are not sufficient to
tempt a successful business man to
leave lis business. Besides, he does
not like the company he would have to
keep. Hence it is that, as we have
said, the problem Of politics Is to get
good men to be as active and as PER
SiStent as the bad men are sure to lie.
When it cannot be solved, and the
good men continue to hold aluo:, thcr
