the Continent somewhat similar con-
ditions prevail, and In asia there is
widespread awakening, with reports Of
advancing prices Of building materials
and Of labor. The splendid prices
which the grain growers of the
west and the ca~ttlc-raisers of n
country are getting assure their abil-
ity to be better consumers than ever
before Under such conditions the
south should receive the very highest

monopoly, and IL would be false to its

it's people, if 1t did not unitedly strug-

If they would see every farmhouse i'm

they would see tens Of thousands of
new dwellings on the farms and in the
cities with every d convenience
for lessening the labor of the house
keepers, IL they would see an era of
good road construction. II they would
see SCHOOLS ana churcheS everywhere
then let them realize that good prices,
high prices as compared with the 10
years Of starvation prices ending in
1902, would mean all these things, and
that properly handle the south has
this situation absolutely within it's own
control Ten years ago the cotton crop
seed included, averaged about $780,
100000 a year. Last year it was
worth ove 100000 900, and this year
it should command 5000, 600, 900. Con-
slider for a moment what this vast diff
ference Of $500, 900, 900 or more a year
means. 1t is a mighty fertiiizing power

OKLAHOMA A DEMOCRATIC
STATE.

After finding that the new state OF
Oklahoma would be democratic the re-
publicans have been trying in every
way to get around their pledge to
give statehood to the two territories
proposed to be united and made into
the new state. The best they could
do was to advise the voters of the
territories embraced in the new state
to vote down the constitution drafted
by the convention. This advice from
Washington was not needed, however,
and the election has resulted in d
democratic victory. The new Oklaho-
ma will come into the union with a
democratic governor elected by about
forty thousand majority, with w
democratic senators and three out Of
the five congressman of the democratic
persuasion. The legislature, of course,
will be democratic. IN other words,
the republican congress has added an
other democratic state to the union.
This must go hard with the leaders
of that party, but it can't be helped.
The matter of a state government was
left to the choice of the people under
republican pledge that they would be
granted statehood. When those party
men found they had made a mistake
in the political complexion of the peo-
pie of the new state they kicked hard
against carrying out their pledge, but
there was no way of getting around
it. 1t was a bitter pill, but they had
to swallow It and the result is an
other state is added to the democratic
column and seven electoral votes
given to the democrats in the next
presidential election. The latter may
not count for much, but it hurts the
republicans to think that they nave
done this for their political opponents.

many other interesting facts about
the society. The book is handsomely
gotten UP and contains many portraits
Of prominent men of this state in the

COTTON AND ITS POWER OF
GOOD.

The last issue of the Manufacturer S
Record contained an editorial q
the above heading which we print
below. That paper recognizes h Tact
that in time the south will become the
manufacturing center of the world
and it gives proper credit TO the
south's balance sheet of nine hundred
million dollars cash in hand paid Tor
the cotton crop. Besides this are the
~by-products of the cotton crop. Ten
wears ago who would have thought
that the cotton crop of the south would
he worth nearly a billion of dollars?
At this day the people who make the
cotton are looking for even greater
figures in the near future and they
NAV we'll expect to sell their crops at
advanced prices, for we believe h
time will come when the cotton Of the
south will demand much higher prices
than it brings today.
Under the heading put this
article the Manufacturers Record has
this to say:
The cotton growers of the south
should stand firm for good prices, un-
moved by the bea tactics of the spec
ulators. The World can take every
bale Of their cotton, eve if prices of

REMEDY IN OUR OWN HANDS

We are glad to see from the follow
ing editorial we AXE from the Charlotte
Observer that it agrees with The Mes
senger as to the matter of reform in
the politics of the state; that it thinks
the remedy can be found within the
party. When we find ourselves, with
out knowledge of the position that
paper will take, pursuing the same
course that it has taken, We feel that
we are in the right. 1t is gratifying
to us to know that these two papers
have taken the same position on this
new proposition of starting a con
sentative party If The Observer
agrees with US we feel sure that we
are right. What the state OF North
Carolina needs is not a new party.
but reorganization of the present DEM
ocratic, the turning out of power in
the state and control of affairs of the
party of the Office-seeking, self-ag-
grandizing set of politicians who nave
been allowed to get control Of state
and party affairs through the neglect
of their political duties by the bone
and sinew men of the state. h trou-
BILE we are III comes from the negiecI
of their duty by that class of our Gil
liens. and the remedy for the evil that
is upon us lies in the assertion by that
class of our people of their rights ana
the assumption of their duties as CIT
liens. We do not want or need th7
formation of a third party. the e'i
can be corrected within our W par

THE

Ihere are some people who are SO
constituted, morally and mentally.
that they cannot give any man who
differs with them credit for being hon
est in his opinions. This comes from
narrow, biased and hypocritical exer-
else of mental faculties on the part
of such persons. A very fair illustra-
ton OF the truth of the above asser-
ton is the following editorial which
we find in Sundays News and Observ-
er, which shows the true character of
the editor of that paper and the men
who belong to his school of politics
in this state.
Scratch a man who in present con-
ditions calls himself a conservatives
and you will nine times out Of ten
find a mar who sneezes when a Big
Boss of the Tobacco trust takes a
pinch of snuff, and bows to the ground
when a wheezy old engine on the
Southern railway blows. Their "con-
servatism" is to take orders from the
trusts and then try to fool the folks.
He and his crowd pretend to be-
lieve that no man in the state who
does not endorse their political prin-
ciples is honest in his views and they
denounce every one who is opposed ID
their factional contentious as being
the hireling of some one of the rail-
roads or other big corporations Of the
country. That the contention is false
no n knows better than the man who
makes the vague accusation and has
not the courage to be more definite
in his declaration.
The conservative democrats OF the
state are the one who are most in
terested in the welfare and progress
Of the state. They are not, as Is the
other class, ever scheming and plan
ming how they and their frineds can
remain in political power and retain
control of the state patronage. They
are looking out for the best interest
of the whole people. They are concern
ed With the material progress of the
state-not with the question as to
whether this or that politician shall
remain i'm Office.
The News and Observer may make
such slurs as it pleases at the con-
sentative element of the state, but that
does not alter the fact that it is the
conservative element" in the state
which forms the foundation for the
prosperity and furnishes the basis n
which her material advancement is
founded. Take out of this state her
conservative element and leave every
thing Il the management of such men
as form the faction which denounces

the conservative element and where
would the state be? What could that
crowd of politicians and Office seekers
show in the way OF substantial back
ing OF the state In any financial trans
action? What could ii do to keep UP
the credit OF the state? Outside cred
itors do not take the talk and vapor-
ings of such men as security for a
