ANOTHER CANDIDATE FOR THE

1t seems that Messrs. Bryan and

all alone for the democratic nominal

as candidate one of three men who,
were the populist party still alive
would be shining lights in that party.
They are Bryan, Hearst and Towne.
Pittsburg dispatches announces thar
A. F. Dulin, president of the Bryan
democratic league Of New York, has
started a boom for Hon. Charles A
Towne as the democratic presidential
nominee. 1t was inGimated year
or so ago that Mr.. Towne had been
booked to be the democratic candidate
for vice president on the ticket with
Mr.. Bryan as it's head in 1908 be-
cause of his unselfish retire
ment from the second place on
the pOpulist and silver republican tick
cts in 1900 and thereby cleared the
way for endorsement by those two
parties of Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson,
the democratic candidate for vice pres

'WOULD BE, REFRESHING. =

Under the above heading The News
and Observer Of yesterday got off the
following in its editorial columns
which is the best thing political we
have seen in a newspaper in a long
time:
1t would be truly refreshing if the
people OfNorth Carolina now and
then would rise UP and nominate some
modest and worthy man who was not
seeking the office. This thought is
prompted by the following from the
New Bern Sun:
''Wanted-To know the location and
salary of just one Office that is hunt
ing the man.
Perhaps the office is so busy trying
to get out Of the way Of those pur-
suing it that it has no time to look
for the best man to fill it.
There is nothing to be added to or
taken from that. Comment, even,
would detract from it's worth.

A Jim CROW" CITY

The experiment is to be made in
West Virginia of colOniZing negroes
and leaving them to manage their own
affairs and their municipal govern
ment. This movement will be watch
ed with great interest by the people
of the south and at the north.
A negro city is to be established
near Charleston, the capital of the
state and it is expected that within
a year it will contain a population Of
several thousand. The city has al
ready been laid off and will soon be
ready for settlers. The population will
be entirely of negroes. No white man
will be allowed to dwell there or to
own property wi thin it's limits. The
city is to be built around the state
colored high school. 1t will be the GEN.
ter of high education of negroes in the
state For this reason it should draw
to it as citizens negroes of the better
class. 1t is to be made somewhat of
an education center for that race
The whole country will be anxious
to see whether or not this movement
can be made a success. If it proves
a failure then it should stop the talk
about the colonization of the negroes
as a solution Of the race problem
On the other hand, its success would
not prove that general colonization is
the best way of settling that question,
for an assembling in a town about a
negro high school of several thousand
of the better element of the race and
the successful management of that
surrounded on all sides
by white people and under state con-
troll of white people, would by no
means prove that the colonization of
a large number of negroes of all class
es-the lowest as we'll as the highest
Of their race-on an extensive area
would prove equally successful. The
failure of this enterprise would COM
pletely refute the arguments of those
who favor colonization of the negroes,

BAD POLITICS.

We published a day or so ago the
statement that Hon. J. c. Buxton, of
Forsyth county, had brought suit for
libel against the Danbury Reporter
for having published a communication
which charged him with having taken
a bribe for his support of and vote
for the antitrust bill which passed
the last Legislature, of which Mr.. Bux-
ton was member. The. charge was
that he had been paid to support a bill
which would benefit the American To-
bacco Company The Charlotte OBJ
server refers to this preposterous
charge in the following editorial:

him to say bluntly about Senator

IF THEY ONLY KNEW.

The Wall Street Journal says the
people who held aloof from the bull
market are now buying stocks AMI
have been buying since March, while
the spectators have been selling 1t
asks the question, Who have been
right, the outsiders who have been
buying or the insiders who have been
selling? We can't answer the Ques-
tion but We are willing to bet that
the Wall street insiders whether they
have been buying or selling will come
out at the big end of the horn at the

there would be no profit for them If
the outsiders understood the situation.
They do not care whether the outsid-
ers win or lose at the start; il al
ways turns out that they are the
losers finally. An outsider may as
well expect TO win from a thimble-
rigger or three card monte man as
TO buck up against Wall street spec
ulator on cotton or stocks and come
out a winner. II is betting against a
man on his own game. Loaded dice
will no more surely give success TO the
man who manipulates them in a game
with an "outsider'' than will a series
of sale or purchase Of stocks or cotton
futures finally give the advantage TO
the Wall street broker Or speculator.
If the outsiders" knew how the mar
ket was going, of course, they could
make money; but the chief feature OF
the game is that the "msn on the
inside is not going TO let the others
know anything about it until the thing
has been done and the deal closed to
the latter's everlasting undOing. What
is the use Of playing with the expecta-
tion Of winning, with the man who
you know understands how to stack
the cards or plays with a duplicate
set of loaded dice? If the outsiders
only knew, but, then, the insiders see
to it that they don't know.

from two to three fine ears, and in
two weeks from now will be ready
to harvest, and every planter ha-
wing some of this June Corn esti-
mate that it should yield nothing
less than fifteen barrels per acre,
which is much better result than
is obtained from the native corn.
This experience should teach us
that there is no reason for this
country to ever run short of corn,
when the native corn fails, there
is always ample time to plant a
good and sure crop of the June
variety.

The Value OF Cotton.

At harvesting time there is al
ways a difference in the price of
cotton in the local market, some
ginners paying more for seed cot
ton than others, and this differ
ence in the price is the cause of
much discussions.
The cause of all this is the plan
tiers themselves; they pick their
cotton and rs soon as picked with
out airing or drying is brought to
the gins in the damp condition it
is picked, producing an inferior
quality of cotton and bad seed,
which in turn produce an inferior
oil.
We had this past week figures
from Mr.. l.. &. Gauthier aud from
Mr.. V. A. Ledoux. The average
yield of lint thus far this year by
the ginneries buying cotton as ii
comes, is 217 pounds per thousand
and the yield of Messrs Gauthier
and Ledoux of cotton properly
picked and dried before ginning,
was 333 pounds per thousand, a
difference Of IS pounds and at the
price they sold their cotton, the
difference in their favor per thou
sand pounds was $40.
MIR. Gauthier makes it a bust
ness every year To cultivate and
pick his cotton for the seed, and
we learn that Dir. irduuX's cotton
was produced from seed raised by
Mr.. Gauthier.
From the above result we can
see that good seed and clean pick
ed cotton properly dried, will al
ways command the highest price
Our planters should learn that
it is to- their advantage to cult.
} vate tie best, harvest with the
! best care, gin their cotton and
hold it for good price instead OF
, rushing their bad cotton to the

, price they can get.
The mll men always prefer &c
, buy cotton under bale and pay

The planters have the situation
in their own hands, 1t is for then
to command ihe highest prices.

GOOD ROADS.

try people in general as that OF
good roads all the time.
Large amounts of money are ex-
pended on the public roads every

same. and the complaints continue
as to the condition of the ROADS

1t must be considered that dirt
roads cannot be permanent. they

age of the public roads and the

rollers Immediately after the gra-
ding and the continued supervi-
zion of the roads, and immediate

We believe what is needed, first
of oil, is to interest the planters in
the public roads in order to have
them form Road Leagues in each
ward or each section of the wards
with officials whose duty it will
be to report the condition of the
roads TO the Police Jury, road man
or road commission, and demand
immediate attention.
We believe the planters cal

take up this important matter with
