Horne and His Neighbors.
Charlotte Chronicle.


The best proof of a mans charac-
ter is the estimation in which he is
held by his neighbors. We hear
nothing but good of Ashley Horne
and we believe that if his acquaint-
anceship had extended over the State
he would have been honored by some
office of public trust long before this,
if such had been his desire. One OF
the stories we have heard dealing
with the character of the man comes
from Archer, Johnston county, where
there is farmer now holding the
cotton the farmer made last year.
This man used to be head over heels
in debt with Horne's store. and stay
ed so for several years. Horne stood
by him and helped him along, instead
OF closing him out, as might have
been done, and the result is the man
finally made good, paid his debts,
and is able to hold his cotton until
he gets the price for it. OF course, he
is a Horne supporter. Somebody
had the gall to ask him if he is a
Horne man. 81 wish / could give
Horne 10000 votes," he replied. 81
would feel like l were voting for my
own blood, and if he should get de-
feated, | shall not vote for either of
the other men. So if / cannot get thu
best, | will take no part in it," This
is but one incident of many that
shows how Horne stands with his
neighbOrs and it gives good insight
into his character.

A Gateway.

Kinston Free Press
One of the most interesting and
instructive addresses delivered at the
session of the North Carolina Press
Convention, held i'm Charlotte, was
the one by Mai. E. j. Hale, editor of
the Fayetteville Observer, on the
subject Of freight rates in North Car
Olina. The address was so impor-
tant because it dealt with the most
serious problem that now confronts
our people; and iU showed how the
problem might be faced and "A solu-
tion easily and surely found. This
week Maj. Hale was to be at Char
lotte, this time with the North Caro-
lima Merchants Association that is
in State convention in that city;
and to this body he was to present
the same easy and simple plan of So
luton.
Major Hale's idea of reducing
freight rates surely and certainly is
by attacking the problem through
its physical aspects. In short, he
would make of Fayetteville gate
way" because of its point of vantage
at the head of navigation on the
Cape Fear, and this he would do by
having Congress dredge the river
from Fayetteville to Wilmington
and then to the sea, so as to admit
of more traffic by water This would
place Fayetteville in a position SINH
lar to that enjoyed by Richmond on
the James. And thus the North
Carolina freight problem would be
solved much more easily and salts
factor;ly and certainly than legisla-
tion can ever do. Legislation by
our General Assembly can only affect
rates within the State; and the rul-
ings OF our Corporation Commission
can never govern the roads in their
traffic from the North and West and
South to our cities. But when the
natural gateway lis established the
trick will have been turned in nc
sordance with business principles as
they are based on natural conditions
and these laws aftsr all are su-
preme.
Major Hale has spent many years
Vi Ills iHc HI the StuuN vi lUis SFtht
problem and the elaboration OF IL So
luton. His States great need has
appealed nightly to him. He has
seen her Disseminated against. He
has seen outside cities and commun-
tiles built up at her expense. He has
seen the handicap borne by her in her
efforts at development And tIesa
things have invited reflection which
has suggested a proper solution a-
outlined above.
This solution will appeal TO bust
ness men. 1t is one that should prove
attractive to the statesman, and by.
the-way it has valiant champions in
our present United States senators
and also among our representatives
in congress. When the problem IL
sooner or later solved by making
Fayetteville our gateway, as will cor
tainly be done, no small share of tl,.
credit for the same will belong te
Major E. j. Hale.

Resignation of President Winston

Progressive Farmer
The resignation of DR.. Geo. r.
Winston, for, several years President
of the A. & NJ. College, last wesk came
as a distinct surprise to nearly every
body in the State DR.. Winston is
one ofthe most gifted OF North Caro-
linians. and there are few who have
rendered the Commonwealth more
distinguished service than he While
We have held the opinion that he
should have done more to build up
the agricultural division of the Col
lege, even in this he did better than
his predecessors, and his work in de-
veloping the College patronage dur.
ing the early years of his presidency
was remarkably successful. A man
of great resourcefulness, untiring
energy. and an almost wonderful
versatility and range of information,
we hope that DR. Winston's rare
abilities will at once be turned to the
service of the State in some other
line OF endeavor

A Splendid Work.
Charlotte News.

charlotte News.
The North Carolina Children's S
Home is another charitable institu-
tion which is doing a splendid work
for the unfortunate youth of the
State.
Reports submitted at a meeting
held a few days ago show that 50
children were received during the
past year and q total of 2S1 from
the beginning. Thirteen of the whole
number were reported as being on
hand waiting for homes, the rest OF
this number having been placed with
good families. During the year
$1,000 was saised for the support OF
this work, according to the secre-
tary's report.
The North Carolina Children S
Home Society is doing a magnificent
work and we commend the officials
for the record of the past year. This
institution reaches a class of unfor-
tunates that few other institutions
reach, namely, the homeless infants.
The readiness with which the good
people of the State take these little
| tots into their homes to raise and
educate, is another fact worth con-
Siderinp.

The June bride is invariably a

her sweeping skirt to one she can

as ever, but more lovely than be-

This Man Is Out OF Date.

A writer i'm the Lumberton Robe
sonian is inveighing against the no.
fence law which he denounees as n
curse declaring that what we need in
North Carolina is more fences and
better fences, more stock and better
stock. One of his arguments against
the old fashioned way of allowing
stock to roam at large and fencing
in the crops instead of fencing in the
stock is that
''Stock are gregarious animals, and
taken and kept alone they become in
sane or idiotic; and there is another
great disadvantage: when there is IA
little herd, or one or two kept for
weeks in n pasture, the flies, knats,
mosquitoes, and other insects become
a horror, collecting there and remain
ing there throughout the entire
season, becoming SO numerous of
evenings as to completely cover the
legs and underparts of the cattle, so
that one can scarcely discern the
animals color, thus rendering them
poor and Improbable to their own
ers. This goes to prove to every
intelligent, reasonable person. that
cattle were intended to roam at
large going one day in this direction,
another in that, thus shirking any
great collection of insects"
Is further argument against the
no-fence law needed? If so we have
it in this paragraph:
81 say you can have one or two
good COWS, and have milk and butter
for short while, but my experience
and that Of hundreds of others is that
the cows in confinement will not stay
in healthy condition for any length
of time; and then you will have to be
daily planting and gathering for
them change OF feed they must
have, and then they dre subject to
diseases hitherto unknown or heard
Of-indigeston, sore feet, hollow horn
and tail-to say nothing of the many
unnatural vices they develop when
confined"
A law that will deprive the cattle
of herding together socially in num-
bers and sharing with one anoter the
luxury of fighting flies and other in
sects that poster them in common,
to say nothing about producing hol-
low horn and tail, ought to be abol-
ished or never fastened upon d
community of helpless or defenceless
creatures-hunan or quadruped.

Simmons Interference.
Rich Square Roanoke -Chowan Times.

Rlch square ROanOke-ChOWan Times.
The contest for the gubernatorial
gOminatiOn will soon close, and no
one will be sorry when it is over. : 4
The early primaries were held in
the far Western counties, the home OF
Craig, and gave him a good lead in
the beginning of the contest This
was a shrewd political move, doubt
less engineered by that past master
in politics, Senator Simmons, who has
seemingly staked his reputation as a
politician in the nomination OfCraig.
These early primaries were held con-
trary to the advice of the State
Chairman, who advised that the pri-
maries be called after the prohibition
election. After being started in the
west, the other counties followed.
When the primaries in the central and
eastern counties began to be held
Kitchin began to climb up until he
caught up and now has good lead
over Craig in the number of delegates
instructed for him. He will go to the
State Convention much ahead.
Kitchin has had a hard fight, being
opposed by Senator Simmons who
has brought into play all the knowl-
edge and influence gained by him in
public affairs in his zeal to defeat
Kitchin. In this matter Senator Sim
mons has reversed himself, as we'll as
in other things, speaking and voting
for subsidies, for instance. A few
years ago the Senator was claiming
that his position as Senator pre-
cluded his taking part in such con-
tests,as he wrote his friend Lockhart,
who asked for his support in the con-
test for Associate Justice Of the Su-
preme Court. Bat the people are now
beginning to think for themselves
and no longer blindly follow Others

The Georgia primaries, resulting
III the defeat of Governor Hoke
Smith, spelled revolution. They
mean one of the most remarkable re-
vulsions OF public sentiment, per-
haps the most remarkable ever
known in American politics. Not
only did he carry, two years ago, all
but five of the counties OF the State,
but defeated FIVE candidates against
him, receiving $4,000 more votes
than the opposition combined.
Thursday, with this record behind
him, he was showed under by an in
consequential person. The people
were tired OF him and his ways, and
it is hoped that the lesson to be
learned from the fate which has
oyertaken him will not be lost upon
the other politicians OF the South.

Has Simmons Changed?

Wadesboro Messenger and Intesligencer-
Senator Simmons seems to have
changed bis ideas as to propriety. In
1902, when Hon. JAS. A. Lockhart,
who had aided him in his fight for the
Senate and fought the battles OF the
Democracy as hard as any man in
the State, was a candidate for Asso-
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court,
Mr.. Simmons wrote him that he
deemed it improper for a United
States Senator to take-part in any
contest for a nomination in the
State.
