HEACTIONAny MOVEMENT IN
NORTH CAROLINA.

North Carolina Is great State. In
dustrfally, ii has made remarkable
strides in recent years. Railroad lines
have given way to factories. and in
furniture and cotton manufacturing 1t
is supreme. This growth and expansion
came from borrowed money, from loans
secured In the East. backed by that
which the citizens themselves were able
to provide. Now, however, there is
the intimaton that this development
will be checked because of unfriendly
Legislatures and courts. A Charlotte

IN HONOR OF MAuRY.

1t is a happy thought Of Mrs. Thos
S. Isocock, regent of the. Virginia
Branch OF the Pocal,ontas Memorial
Associations, that the Government Pier
at Jamestown Exposition be named
in honor OF Commodore Maury.
For years past tie admirers OF that
distinguished man have urged that
a monument to perpetuate his name
and celebrate his achievements be
erected at Hampton Roads.
An appropriate monument has now
been erected. and all that remains to
be done is to name 1t and dedicate 1t
to the memory of Maury and then erect
Il statue overlooking the waters whose
secret paths he found and mapped and
whose mysteries he explored and de-
clared.
The Times-Dispatcl heartily ap-
proves of the suggestion and hopes
that the government at Washington
will adopt It.
The point is raised that the pier
is already named. but the name can
readily be changed, we imagine.
If not 1t could at least be amend
ed and called discovery Pieri me-
mortal to Matthew Fontaine Maury."

Cotton Goina Up

The bureau report for June 25 put crop at 72, as against condition Of 7O.5 one month before. This sent July contracts in New Orleans up to 13.45 cents. and October contracts went up to 12.60.
 The ten-year average on June 25 is S3.2. and never before in the history of the bureau has the general condi- tion of the crop been reported on June 20 as low as 72. The official report pretty plainly points to 13-cent cotton. The thirty days of favorable weather was but a point and one-half, always provided the government guessers have guessed correctly. The outcome w.. alone tell the story.
 The Alabama crop gained according to the bureau. three points in a months time. It was put on June 25 at bS, as agalnSl a standing or oo one month before. The condition of the Alabama crop is low, but the condition of the crop in Mississippi and Louis jana is still lower. The Louisiana crop is reported in the lowest condition of the entire list of fourteen producing states.
 The output in the fall months is still a puzzle but the bureau report goes to strengthen the impression that there will not be even a fair crop, to say nothing of full crop.

NOT YET, MY SOUL.

By Robert Louis Stevenson. Not yet, my soul, these friendly fields
 desert, Where thou with grass, and rivers, and
 the breeze And the bright face of day, thy dalliancs
 hadst; Where to thine ear first sang the enrap-
 tured birds; Where love and thou that lasting bargain
 made. The ship rides trimmed. and from the
 eternal shore Thou nearest airy voices; but not yet Depart, my soul. not yet awhile depart. Freedom is far, rest far. Thou are with
 life Too closely woven, nerve with nerve en-
 twined; Service still craving service, love for love. Love for dear love, still suppliant with
 tears. Alas, not yet thy human task Is done! A bond at birth is forged, a debt doth
 lie Immortal on mortality. It grows By vast rebound 1t grows, unceasing
 growth; Gift upon gift. aims upon aims. unprs-
 pared, From man, from God. from nature. ti1i
 the soul At that so huge indulgence stands
 amazed.

CTS and shall hold firstgrade certifi- cate. A man who can magnetize all the rural schools of his county and lift up the poorest and weakest of the number to the highest possible level, is the man that is needed.
 The battle for efficient supervision of rural schools should be fought to q finish. If the rural schools are to be denied the advantages of a trained, tactful superintendent in order to let some place holder draw q salary, let the responsibility for the continuance of such wasteful and unjust policy be placed where it belongs. Let the battle go on. The school districts can win it if they will pull together. AS things stand the city schools have good superintendents, not one of whom is elected by the people, while the rural schools are in many cases super intended" by fossils who do not know what the word when applied to schools means, much less are they capable of conducting the education of the chil- dren of their counties.

RockefeIIer's Fliuht

Flight or concealment on the part or the oil magnates, William and Johh D. Rockefeller, is national shame. If Is individually a disgrace, for it is confession that they possess knowl- ege of facts that they dare not make public.
 Judge Landis Is not, however, man who can be trifled with. Either the Rockefellers will have to go into con tinuous skulking for life or else they must appear before Judge Landis Tn accordance with the subpoenas issued by him.
 The example set by the two Rocke- fellers before the youth of the land is the saddest feature of sad piece or business. The skulking act is notice to all that if they are rich enough they can disregard the courts and their pro- cesses. which are supposed to have been established to preserve order and protect life and property. When the Rockefellers by flight put themselves above law they say to all young men at least that the law is intended for the prosecution of the poor, but not for the prosecution of the very rich. The federal government should run these two men into court before Judge Iandis if it be the last act it performs in this world. If it cannot cause them to come into open court then it should confess its inability to deal with the very rich. It should either execute the law or else confess it cannot do so against the two Rockefellers. These disgraced old offenders-these chiefs in a vile conspiracy against freedom of trade in articles of necessity-should be run to earth if every detective in the land has to be brought into gov ernment service, and this should be done regardless of expense.
 The Rockefellers will be caught, and in order to avoid any more hunts for the oil kings it may be better to apply to them the ticket-of-leave principle. Put them on their good behavior and make them report at stated intervals. The present scandal should not be re- peated every year. and the only way to avoid it seems to consist in con stant surveillance of the two offenders.

DIR. GUNN DIES
 FROM HIS WOUNDS

Death finally came to the sick bed at St. Vincent's hospital, of Dr. James H. Gum, the Calera physician who was mercilessly shot down last Saturday aft ernoon. For the past few days his con- dition has been unchanged, and he died last night at 10:3I o'clock
 This Is the result of a fatal shoot ing which occurred at 5:3O D. m., last Saturday in Calera. From accounts given by the deceaseds relatives 1t seems that the two Ca1era policemen, William Pill green and Tom Hill, were arresting a di lnken white man by the name of Kill lingsworth.
 hen the doctor approached they were excitedly beating the unfortunate over the head. Dr. Gum said: 'Pflgreen, don't handle him so roughly" when the in- censed officer turned, drew his pistol and fired twice.
 Or. Gum was hurriedly brought to Birmingham and taken to St. Vincent's hospital, where he has been ever since. carefully attended by his family He is survived by two sons, J. E. Gum and T. A. Gum; one daughter, Julia, and his wife
 For thirty years he was a practicinr physician in Calera, and was known all over the state, both for his fine character and ability. His death win cause wide spread sorrow as there were few men be ter liked in the whole state. The remains will be sent to Calera today " Shaw & Son, and funeral services will be conducted this afternoon.
