SHORT, OR ATE?

So far as North Carolina is con-
cerned there is unmistakable evil
dence that the cotton crop is very
much short or very much late.
For instance, the number Of bales
reported sold in Raleigh this season
up to last Saturday was 495, while
the number of bales sold there to
the same date last season was 1886.
This great difference shows that the
cotton crop is short or late, or that
the farmers are holding it off the
market. While we have not made
observation of the discrepancy in
other cotton market towns in the
State, we presume that similar
falling off may be noted at most Of
the markets.
At all events, farmers should not
become discouraged because of any
decline in the price of cotton now.
1t is quite probable that this year the
crop will be at least a million bales
under what it was last year. More
spindles are added to the mills every
year, and the demand for cotton is
all the while on the increase.
With all these favorable conditions
the farmer may feel pretty sure OF
a high price for his cotton if he will
not be in too big a hurry to sell

He is a great and good and broad

able a paper as the Times-Dispatch

walked out of the place before the
white man had any time to make

Jones is one of the few old-time
darkeys, and appears to be about
seventy years of age. He told his
story in Straightforward manner.
He swears that every word of it is
true, but that he was afraid to say
anything of the matter, fearing that
Harrison would do him some bodily
harm. When asked why he had
noticed Harrison on the road Jones
said that just as he was passing him
his horse became balky and that his

Family Extravaganza.
(SeleCted.)


We could scarcely choose a more
unpopular heading for an article
than the above. Most families on
farms are economic, or at least they
are free from extravaganza. But
once in a while young wife may
not realize what the struggles of her
husband to get start in the world
really are, nor may she fully appre-
ciate the sacrifices he will make to
crafty her wishes, and not her
necessities but her whims seriously
cripple his efforts, and bring dis
couragements that sometimes lead
to his giving up the fight.
Children, too, grown up children,
often embarrass their parents with
wants the parents are unable to
crafty. Children read of things
they would like to have, or are told
of things others have, or see things
that others have, and conclude that
they are out of date without such
things. Then begins a season of
worry, and the longer they think
about it, the worse they want them,
and the more they feel that they are
neglected and abused, and that they
have no chance with other people
The fact is, most likely, that they
are we'll provided for, and, but for q
cultivated notion or whim, they
would be happy and contented, fully
up with their neighbors, and their
parents would be saved much annoy
ance and many heart-burnings.
These are the extravagances thai
sometimes mar the happiness anc

Mrs. Carrie Nation was sentenced
to a term in the work house in Wash
ington some days ago because she
would not desist from addressing a
crowd of people on the street when
SO ordered. Many people doubtless
feel much sympathy for her in her
confinement in the work house, but
the Charlotte Observer thinks that
such sympathy is instructed, as
Mrs. Nation is quite accustomed to
such little episodes. Mrs. Nation
seems to feel like she has mission
to perform and also seems bent on
performing it, even if she does have
to pay rather dearly for the privilege
some times.

Raleigh seems to to be somewhat
stirred over the proposition for a
new auditorium commensurate with
the needs CT the city. The people of
Raleigh are good and clever, but they
have never yet furnished the city
with perpendicular. The. peo-
pie Of the State generally, even
Greensboro, would be glad to see
such an auditorium there as the cap
ital city of this great State needs.

ANOTHER STORY ABOUT HARRISON.
News and Observer.)

Norfolk, Va, Sept. 21.-Richard
Jones, an old colored huckster, who
comes to the city market every Sat-
urday from his home near Providence
Church to sell chickens, claims that
on a Tuesday in February, 1905,
while driving his cart toward Mo-
yock, N. c., on the Moyock road, he
passed buggy in which Joshua
Harrison (the North Carolinian who
committed suicide at the Gladstone
Hotel last Wednesday rather than
serve twenty years in the peniten-
tiary, having been convicted of kid
mapping Kenneth Beasley. son of
former State Senator Beasley) was
seated and driving with small child
with colored cloth tied around his
head 50 that only his eyes could be
seen, sitting between his (Harri-
son's) knees in the bottom of the
vehicle. At that time, Jones told a
reporter today, he did not know who
the man with the child was and that
he does not yet know whether the
child he saw between the mans
knees was boy or a girl, owing to
the darkness completely covering
its head.
When Harrison was being tried at
ECurrituck Court House Jones hap
pened to be there, and as Harrison
was about to enter the court room
some one asked the old colored fell
low if he knew who the white man
was. Jones replied that he had seen
him before, but did not know his
name. He was thereupon informed
that the man was Joshua Harrison
charged with the kidnapping of nine
year-old Kenneth Beasley.
Jones said that he did not then
mention the fact that he had passed
him on the road with a child between
his knees, but in some unknown man.
ner it leaked out. Dick did not
again see Harrison until a short
while before his trial was to take
place in Elizabeth City, when he met
him in a place on Brewer street, this
city. In the meantime Jones had
been summoned as a witness to ap-
pear at the next trial. Upon Harri-
son seeing the old colored man in the
bar he called him aside and asked if
he was not the man who passed him
on the road a Tuesday night in Feb
ruary coming towards Norfolk.
Harrison thereupon described Jones,
his cart, and several other things.
Jones told Harrison that he was the
man. Harrison then said that h e
was the man. Harrison then said
that he knew Jones had been sum.

GOVERNOR GLENN MOT MARROW.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch
some days ago printed a very re-
markable editorial in which it at
tackled Governor Glenn, calling him
narrow and charging him with &C
tivity against the railroads in this
State in the hope Of future greatness
therefrom. 1t will take long and
laborious argument on the part of
the Times-Dispatch to make the peo-
pie of North Carolina believe that
Governor Glenn was actuated by any
motive save sense Of duty as Gov
ernor Of this great State in his
efforts to bring the railroads to obey
the laws passed by our State Legis-
laturc. Governor Glenn, so far as
has ever appeared, had no more in
terest or want of interest in the rail-
roads than any other citizen.
When the rate law went into effect
there were three great railroad sys-
tens operating in the State-the
Seaboard Air Line, the Southern and
the Atlantic Coast Line. The Sea-
board Air Line promptly and be-
comingly obeyed the law and sold
tickets at the price prescribed by
the Legislature, while the Southern
and Atlantic Coast Line disregarded
the law and charged the same rate
they had been charging before the
law went into effect. There was
absolutely no reason why one great
railroad system in the State should
reduce its passenger rates according
to law and the other systems charge
the same old rates in disregard OF
law; and when the matter was
brought to Governor Glenn's atten-
ton through the action of Judge
Long holding court in Raleigh, he
simply used his powers as chief ex-
ecutive of the State to have all the
railroads come under the operation
of the same law.
The Times-Dispatch, speaking OF
Governor Glenn's action, a bit pro.
phetically says, "He may outlive
it," We hardly think he will; TO,

Capt S. A. Ashe, one of the most
intelligent citizens of the State, in
a recent communication to the News
and Observer, gives some interesting
cotton statistics. He says that North
Carolina has 200 cotton mills in OPP
Grafton with 16 more in course of
construction, three million spindles
and fifty-two thousand looms. North
Carolina spun last year 733, 900 bales
of cotton, while the crop was only
