Is Cotton Worth Is Cents Per Pound!

! Charlotte, August 9TH, 1903.
/ Cotton goods are selling at higher
! price than has been known for many
years, somebody is making money on
cotton; is it the producer who Is getting
rich?
Our executive committee calls Tor a
mass meeting in every township on the
afternoon OF Saturday, August oath. Let
the farmers gather at the school houses
and consider the price for cotton.
In townships where there is no organi-
zation the committee urges the farmers
to assemble, elect chairman and secre-
tary and send the address OF these to the
Charlotte Office that the township may
have the benefit Of the cotton informa-
ton sent from this Office from time to
time. 1t will be helpful to the farmers
From every township in every cotton
producing county there should be dele
gates selected who will attend the State
meeting OF the Cotton Association at the
A. & NJ. College, Raleigh, on August
29th (week of the Farmers convention).
Our committee hope to have a very full
attendance at this meeting, when the
minimum price will be recommended Tor
the coming cotton crop.
The committee would urge all town
ship treasurers to collect dues not al
ready paid and see that the amount be
RENTED to Treasurer Heartt. Money
is needed to pay for printing. postage
and other expenses.
Once a farmer remarked: 1.-The FARM
ers are a hard set co organize; they
won't stick" No, we can't organize
folks who talk that way, but we can or
ganize the folks who 60 to the township
meeting themselves and who will try to
get their neighbor to go. Those are the
kind OF farmers who are organizing all
over the South. II your township has
no organization. then you and your
neighbors are living and profiting off OF
what others are doing to make the
South prosperous. Can you afford to
permit this?
Hold your township meeting on

Credit to Judge Long.
StatesviIle Landm ark.

StatesVille Landmark
Now that the "tumult and the
shouting" have died and 1.-THE cap
tains and the kings" have departed,
it is but Just and fair to say that
the man who started the movement
which resulted in the vindication OF
the supremacy OF the State law, Judge
Long. Of Statesville, has hardly been
piven the credit he deserves. In the
nature OF the case it was natural Tor
the Governor to be crowded to the
front OF the platform and az a conse-
uuence he has received good deal OF
hand-clapping which properly belongs
to Judge Long. The Governor did
his full duty and deserves full credit
therefor. But before anybody had
done anything, without any instruc-
tions from anybody, Judge Long,
having satisfied himself as to the
law, charged the Wake county grand
iury on the 9Th OF July that the rail
roads we're violating the law and
should be indicted The indictments
we're made several days later and after
this Judge Long was given support;
1t may be that indictments would
have been brought and action taken
had Judge Long pursued a different
course at Wake court, but it is fact,
We understand, that four other Judges
opened Wake court and so far as
heard they did not charge that the
rate law was being violated and no
indictments were brought.
The Landmark isn't going to enter
into any controversy as to who ii
entitled to most credit in this case;
it has had no word with Judge Long
about the matter, direct or indirect,
and it does not think that public Of
ficials ordinarily deserve special
credit for doing what it is their busl-
ness to do. But inasmuch as there
is much applause about this rate
fight we offer the suggestion that
Judge Long should have his full
share, for it is a matter OF history
that he started the whole movement
and managed his end of it in Wake
court so that they didn't get his
man by habeas corpus proceedings.

NO MORE MONEY
FOR TEACHERS
Effort Failed to Get an ADJ
ditiOnal $4,000 for Them
From Council

Another effort was made last night
by the Democratic members of CITY
Council to make good with the public
school teachers by endeavoring TO have
an ordinance passed increasing the
appropriation already allowed for adj
justment OF teachers salaries FROM
$4,000 to $4,000. The body met at Z
o'clock SO that an early adjournment
could be made in order that some "
the councilmeu could take the trip
down the Delaware river given by
Mayor Wilson to the Republican First
District Committee. and IN conse-
quence, the subject was not debated
at any length. 10 wiz be brought up
again however. at the next meeting.
Mr.. McGovern Of the Eleventh Ward
offered a resolution which directed the
city solicitor TO prepare an ordinance
providing for the extra $4,000. This
was lost b. vote Of 6 TO 6. Council-
man Postles refusing to vote on the
question
Before Tie vote was taken Chairman

that the budget for the ensuing year
haa already heon fixed ana that the
committee had gone as far as possib.0
when q allowed the teachers $4,000
Following the defeat of the resolu-
tion, Mr McGovern offered an ordi
nance. which had evidently been pre-
pared in anticipation Of tie defeat of
the resolution. and this was also de-
feated by the same vote. Mr. McGov-
ern and Mr. McCamerty of the Tenth
ward then changed their votes to no.
so that they could bring the matter
uD AGAIN for reconsideration. This
made tho vote eight in favor Of the
ordinance and four opposed.

THAT WATER COMPANY.

VAT HEN the alert minds that direct AFFAIRS oi
w the Pennsylvania Railroad Company N
Delaware deal with the Delaware public otheias'
members of the Legislature and others they re-
mind MS of playful lively cat toying with dis
tressed and fearful mouse We believe the rail-
road men must get infinite amusement out OF the
Delaware officials.
The little by-play that the railroad men are
"framing upv for the city officials of Wilmington
Is fine illustration of the cat and mouse theory
For some time the Delaware Water Company
corporation presumably controlled by the rail-
road influences, has been seeking permission TO
Law its pipes across any of the streets OF the city
The alleged purpose Of the company is to supply
the new shops at Todds Cut with water. Some
time ago the company, with the usual audaeity
and defiance of law shown by similar corpora
tons, started lay the pipes regardless OF con
seouences.a But the city officials braeed up and
halted the work When the railroad company,
however. starts after anything, it never gives 1t
up. 1t insists ON permission to lay those pipes
But I'm the meantime something happened TO
show the disposition OF the company towarss the
CITY. The benevolent park commissioners de-
sired 10 use strip OF land for playground Tor
the children. The land is owned by the rail-
road company but not occupied or used by 1t.
The park commissioners asked that the ground
be leased TO them for a children's playground and
the request was promptly refused by the rail-
road company.
But after mature thought, the company now
sees way to utilize the ground as a tempting
bait TO set that desired permission to lay water
pipes With astounding generosity it actually
offered TO lease Tor ninety days the abandoned
ground for a childrcn's park on condition that
the city gives permission to the Water Company
to use the streets, with the possibility that COM
petitive water plant would be in operation at
some distant day. And we are informed that
the city officials think well of it and that the
agreement win probably be made if ten year
lease is secured
The land which the railroad company offers
TO lease is assessed at SSoooo 1t is probably
really worth much more. 1t brings the company
nothing. In return for this limited use of land
the city would lose good revenue TO its Water
Department, and in addition the city would
have granted a valuable franchise to the Water
Company which is presumably subsidiary COM
pany concern of the railroad company.
This bargain" towards which we notice the
city officials are kindly disposed is like the handle
OF jug-ar on one side and that side of course
Is not the city.
