NJ. J. Vessels Will Locate Here.

M. j. Vessels, of Cameron, Ida,
has decided to cast his lot with the
citizens of the Wenatchee valley. Mr..
Vessels has been resident of Idaho
for the past "a years, and has been
engaged in the fruit and nursery
business the greater part of that
time. He was commissioner Of exhib-
it's from Idaho at the ST. Louis expo
sition and at the Lewis and Clark
fair, and the work he did in that
capacity attracted a great deal of at
tention to the state he represented.
He is an expert in putting up fruits,
flowers and vegetables in jars for
exhibition purposes, and his know
ledge of horticulture is thorough and
profound. A large part of this
knowledge was acquired from close
association with Luther Burbank, the
wizard of California, with whom he
worked for several years. While he
has had little time in which to form
an opinion of the Wenatchee valley,
he was satisfied from what he saw in
the few days he was here that this
section has a wonderful future, and
it is his purpose to locate here and

OUR UBIQUITOUS GOVERNOR

According to special dispatches, AS
ISOLATED Press reports and Raleigh
paper local news our governor was in
Goldsboro, in Raleigh and in Washing
ton City all at the same time on last
Friday. We know that he has aeu-
onstrated wonderful ability to make
lightning changes of locality from one
part of this state to another or even
to sections in distant states; but we
did not know before hat he had sue
c~essfully cultivated the wonderful fac
ulty of being in three places so far
apart as Goldsboro, Raleigh and Wash
ington at the same time. We can't
believe such a thing to be possible
even with such a remarkable man as
our governor; therefore, we wish
somebody who really knows where he
was on Friday would give the public
positive information on the subject. In
order to avoid such confusion in the
future we suggest that the governor
should issue official bulletins whenever
he leaves Raleigh so the people of the
state can keep up with his changes of
locality.

such a rate between the present AMI

parties with the understanding that
the next Legislature shall be urged

ly the governor cannot agree to a high

make q higher rate before il Is decid-
ed that the present one IS unconstl-

II there is a compromise of some
kind really on foot why are not the
terms made public so the public may
have a chance to express it's views on
the subject? What is the sense Of all
this secrecy and mystery on the SUB

that somebody is ready to do some

In ignorance until it is too late 10

ernor be afraid to take into his con-

BLACK FRIDAY

These unsettled times in financial
circles bring to mind the famous
BLACK Friday" on the New York ex-
change. Many persons ask what does
BLACK Friday" mean. The Century
Dictionary under this head says:
BLACK Friday-Good Friday, so called
because On that day In the western
church the vestments of the clergy
and the altar are black. Any Friday
marked by great calamity, with special
reference IN England to Friday, De-
cember 6, 1745, the day on which news
reached London that the young pre-
tender, Charles Edward, had reached
Derby; or to the commercial panic
caused by the failure Of the house Of
Overend & Quincy May IL, 1866; and
ia the United States to the sudden
financial panic and ruin caused by
the reckless speculation in gold on the
exchange in New York city on Friday,
September 4, 1869, or to another simi-
lar panic which began September IS,
1873" By THE Black Friday how
ever Americans generally refer to the
day in 1869 when 81 many persons
lost their fortunes through the gold
panic on the New York exchange.

Mr.. Fox is doing a good work in the
way of interesting the people of the
gress appropriate a sufficient sum OF
money to give Wilmington a thirty
foot channel to the sea. 1t is CRAFTY
ing to Wilmingtonians to know that
the business men of the inland towns
are viewing this matter in the right
way; that they are taking hold of
the proposition as one seriously affect
ing themselves; that they realize they
are not being asked to endorse the
measure just for the purpose OF help
ing Wilmington in a local movement.
They are being solicited to take steps
which if carried out will enure to thelt.
own benefit. Too much cannot be
said as to the advantages the whole
state will derive from this improve
ment of III river channel. While

terment she realizes the fact that net
she alone will gain by the proposed
work. Every merchant in the Carolinas
and every man who trades with a mer-
chant in this section of the country
Will feel the results of such improve
ment of our harbor. We people IF
Wilmington appeal to the whole state
to come to our aid in securing THIS
benefit for all our people. Raleigh,
Charlotte, Winston, Greensboro and
every other town in the state is as
much interested in and will be as
much benefited by this improvement
in the Cape Fear river as will be
| Wilmington. Why then should not
the people of these towns join with the
business men of Wilmington in the CT
fort to secure the necessary appropria-
tion from congress? 1t is their fight
just as much as it is that of our
people. The thing to do is for the
whole state to pull together. Let's
make a strong pull, a long pull and i
pull all together and we will win out.
We feel confident hat united effort
will win the victory. Mr.. Fox is
doing good work in solidifying public
sentiment on this question and con-
vincing the business men of the in
land towns that their interests are
identical with those of the merchants
and shippers Of Wilmington and We
feel sure that by the time he has fin
ished his itinerary Of the state he Will
have convinced the business men Of
the state that it is to their interest to
cooperate with those of our city in Sc
curing the deep channel, thereby glr-
ing cheaper freight rates to all inland
points.

which had been called for the dis
cussion of the election next spring.
the matter was put in the hands OF

An INSULT TO THE SOUTH

If Bishop Potter wants to put him
self on terms of negro equality in his
own home he has the perfect right to
do so. If he and his white friends
in New York can stand it it is no one
else's business; but IL is a very diff
ferent thing when he attempts TO car
ry into practice his social equality sen
timents in a southern city. Mr.. Pos
ter's action in entertaining the negro
bishop in Richmond was an insult to
the people of that city, whose guest he
was at the time, and to all the white
people of the south We are more
surprised at the negro accepting the
invitation than at Bishop Potter for
giving it. Had the former been a south
ern negro he would have realized the
improperly of the action of the bishop
and would have declined the invitation
The bishops conduct in this matter.
furthermore, will hurt his church n
the south. Prior t this affair there
had been criticism of the Episcopal
church because of the commingling OF
white and negro preachers at dioces-
an conventions which is seen in some
dioceses every year. This has been
deplored by many even of the men,
bers of that church, but it has been
excused on the ground hat the church
organization did not permit of its pro-
! hibition; bat no church rule or law
can be invoked to excuse BiShop,POtter
His action was without excuse and
there is nothing which can be said IL
paliation of his conduct. 1t was pure
ly and simply violation of the first rule
of society governing the people of the
south, a wanton throwing down of the
barrier which the white people, whose
guest he was, have erected for the
purpose of preserving the purity of
the AnglO-SaXOn race.

vice:

Whether the arrangement started
by disclosures affecting the Mercantile
Bank and the knickerbocker Trust
Company is to spread into financial
disaster depends mucn upon the tenn
per OF the public as well as the spirits
OF the financial community. It is a
time for keeping as cool and calm as
possible and acting with prudence.
Most of our financial institutions are
undoubtedly sound and safe and can
do much to sustain the whole fabric
OF credit and carry it safely through
if they are not harassed by importu-
nate and unreasonable demands.
Nothing is worse thar p~reciPitate
runs" for no bank can be instantly
prepared for these.
There should especially be absten-
ton FROM exciting and disturbing COM
nent. The voice of the president Of
Me United States at such q time, il
uttered at all, should be reassuring
rather than Irritating, and the re-
marks in his Nashville speech yester-
day were most injudicous. 1t may
be true that the presidents policies
have no material effect IN bringing
about the present trouble, but il is
no time for harping upon that and
reiterating threats Of keeping mp the
effort to punish successful lisbon
esty." The press, too should aSoiG
the situation. It is Il
time just now for cool heads ard
calm speech and a prudent treatment
