Now that it is settled that the Gun
nison Tunnel will be completed without
any delay, you had better buy those
town lots while they are cheap.
Don't wait until the Tunnel is finish
ed and the Sugar Factory commenced,
and then have to say; II could have
bought those lots for 5000 year ago,
and now they are selling for $500, :"
but get on the inside NOW.
We predict that DELTA will have
5000 people in few years and lots will
be very valuable.
We have some choice lots on Grand
Ave. and on Howard Street close in,
only blocks from school at 5000. Well
drained, with sewer, city water and
other conveniences. Easy terms.
Special inducements to those who
want to build. Come in and see US.

The first paragraph in Taft's letter
of acceptance, in which he says he ac-
cepts the nomination on Il platform
to carry out all Of ROOsevelts poll
cies, will beat him now before he
starts. The Republican party re-
pudiated Roosevelt, despite his i'll
sidiOus efforts to secure the nOmlna-

not haze the creator, and it follows

Bryan is going to be elected. All
the sOphistrv about the empty buck

Taft, once esteemed IL great Judge
and an evenly balanced man, has
shown by becoming the mouthpiece
OF Roosevelt that he is neither a
great nor a well-balanced man.
After travelling all over the world,
mingling with all sorts and cOndi-
tiOns OF men, he appears on the
American political stage rs a mere
understudy OF the man who has
nearly wrecked the nation, and who
only desires Taft's success that be

A Reasonable View.
GrecnvilIe Reflector.

tIFetHFiIIt lttltfIOE.
The Reflector cOnfesses that is un-
able to see the matter OF the State
Corporation Commission allowing
telephone companies to make their
rates for night messages the same
as for day messages, in the same
LIGHT us it is viewed by some Of its
exchanges. The Raleigh News and
Observer, for instance, denounces the
ruling as "arbitrary, un Just and I'M
reasonable" We have never yet been
able to see why either IL telephone or
telegraph message should be sent at
cheaper rate at night than during
the day, when it requires just as
much service and expense to transmit
one us the other. We have been a
telegraph operator for twenty-five
years and know that it is lust as
much trouble and requires just as
much labor to handle a night mes
sage as a day message, and we take
it Cor granted that the same is true
in the matter of telephone messages.
Ii the companies can afford to send
messages at u certain rate at night,
it looks to us like they can afford to
give just us low Il rate in the day
time.
1t seems to us that it would be
equally as reasonable to say that
railroad and street car lines should
carry passengers at lower rate by
night than they do by day, as to say
that telephones should give lower
rates for night service In most
lines of occupation, especially where
service is regulated by labor unions.
the scale of wages for night work is
higher than for day work. III physi-
clan visits Il patient at night his fee is
usually twice as high as for the same
visit in the day time. The news
papers themselves have to pay print
ers Il higher rate for night work. In
almost any service requiring night
work higher pay is demanded than
for day work Therefore we are I'M
able to see why the telephone COM
panies should be abused for wantin g
as much for night service as for day
service The Reflector believes in
perfect fairness in all things, and
that is its reason for this expression
OF opinion on this subject.

Dangerous Allies.

'lf the negroes vote the Democratic
ticket, remarks the Anderson, S. c.,
Daily Nail, they are going to expect
political rewards, and If the negroes
are to be taken into the Democratic
party there will be no excuse left for
the South to remain sOlidlv Demo
cratic any longer. Every negro
Democratic vote cast in the North
and West this year will mean a hun
dred Republican votes in the South
in the next election" Which. except
the obvious Overstatement at the
close, is all quite true II the negro's
present trend toward the Democratic
party were inspired by less unworthy
motives than desire to punish Re-
publican President for not ignoring
midnight murder where negro troops
committed it upon a Southern town,
something quite different might be
said. but facts like these are hard.
We feel certain that the Democratic
party can derive no ultimate benefit
from such an alliance The mass of
Southern voters have at least some
little spirit, and they will not submit
to any and every imposition even at
the hands of the Democratic party.

Bryan and the Negro Vote.
Wilmington Star

Wilmington Star.
1t will be Il remarkable turn in pol
tiles if the Democrats shall owe the
election Of their candidate for Presi-
dent to the negro vote in those
Northern States in which the negro
voter holds the balance of power as
he does in several of the largest Of
them. But we do not believe this
will come about. Since the negro
has been avoter he has stood by the
Republican party. For years there
has been, prior to every election, a
big hurrah about the negro breaking
away from the Republican party;
negro clubs have been formed and
negro orators have urged their fell
lows to divide their vote and the an
nOuncement has been made that the
negroes would do so: but on election
day the solid negro vote, with few
exceptions, would be cast for the Re-
publican nominees; and we believe it
will be the same way this year. We
hope such will be the case anyhow,
for we would hate for Mr.. Bryan to
owe his election to the negro vote,
for were such to be the case it would
raise complications at the South
more difficult to solve than any racial
questions which have ever confronted
our people. Mr.. Bryan's election by
the negro vote would be a misfortune
to both the white people and the ne
groes Of the South. We want to see
Mr.. Bryan elected, but we do not
want it to be done in such a way
that the negro voters can say to him
and his party that they owe his sue
cess to their support, gratuitiously
given as it will be if given at all, for
Mr.. Bryan is not seeking it or max
ing any bids for it.

Charlotte Observer.
The Carolina 4 Clinchfield Railway,
formerly the South & Western. will
now very soon be delivering coal
over its new road to points East of
the mountains.
1t is learned that work trains are
now running into Marion. Inside of
80 days passenger trains will run
through from Johnson City, Tenn,
to MariOn Meanwhile construction
work between Marion and Bostic is
going forward at Il rapid rate and
within 60 days work trains will be
running into BOstic. Before next
March both coal and passenger
trains will be running into Bostic,
where they will connect with the Sea-
board.
The company is not yet fully de-
termined upon the course Of its
tracks from BOstic to some ocean
port. Surveys are now being made
from BOstic to Columbia, S. c.,
where arrangements might be made
with the SeabOard to go to Savan-
nah or later the Carolina and Clinch-
field might be extended to Charleston
When the work now being pushed,
namely connection with the Sea-
board at BOstic, is completed. a
traffic arrangement may be made
with the Seaboard by which the
Carolina 4 Clinchfield will run trains
through between johnson City and
Charlotte. Such a service might be
put into operation any time after
the connection is made at Bostic
Southward, one via. Spartanburg,
one via. Gaffney and one down the
Broad river.
There should be a good and grow
ing market for Southern coal in
South America, except for the fact
that American shipping facilities
upon the high seas are inadequate
for proper development of these mar
kets. Charleston might be made a
great export point for coal if there
were regular services between that
point and foreign ports where mar
kets might be formed or developed.

The Amti-Saloon League Of Ameri-
ca and its Money.
Charlotte Chronicle.

thdfIOtte tnfOnlcls.
The National Model League. OF
Louisville, is engaged in an effort to
secure a public accounting from the
Anti-Saloon League OF America, and
is flooding the country with circular
letters not limiting at, but openly
charging misrepresentation of funds.
1t calls attention to the fact that "a
former solicitor of the Anti-Saloon
League has offered the Anti-Saloon
League 81, 900 for permission to
have the books of the Anti-Saloon
League examined, and that this
former solicitor has also offered to
pay all of the expenses incident to
the examination of the accounts of
the league One OF the charges,
which is hard OF belief, is that out OF
OF S1,OOO,OOO collected from the
churches last year by the Anti-Sa-
loon League OF America, S75O,OO0
was spent i'll commissions and sala-
rieS. This is Il matter which concerns
only the contributors TO the fund. Ii
they are satisfied to let these charges
go unanswered. it is none of the
public's business, but the league
would stand better in the eyes of the
world if it would let the light shine
on its books. 1t might be said that
the charges come from a prejudiced
source, but that should make no diff
ference. The good name of the
league will be under suspicion as
long as it declines to reiute the
charges.

Negro Disfranchisement
Democratic Platform in the State of
West Virginia.
Atlanta Journal

Atlanta journal
The State Democratic convention
OF West Virginia has adopted a plank
in its platform which demands the
dlsIranchisement of the negro.
The action of the Democrats in Il
border State like that has some
thing more than Il local significance
and 1t will serve to stimulate the
other States, not only OF the South
but of the whole country, to eliminate
the ignorant and purchasable negro
voter wherever he may he found
The people OF the United States,
wherever they are not absolutely
blinded by partisanship or self inter
est, are rapidly reaching the conclu-
sion that the South reached some
time ago. to the effect that the
North would act i'll this matter Just
as the South Is doing if confronted
with the same conditions.
As sectional bitterness expires. the
deliberate Judgment of the people
comes to the realization that the
adoption of the fourteenth and tif-
teeuth amendments was a ravemis-
take. 1t may be years before the
work that was done in the days of
passion and prejudice can be undone
directly, but i'll the meantime it is
possible to accomplish very much
the same thing by means of the lust
and legal Acknowledgement enact
ments such as has been proposed in
Georgia.
The State of Georgia took long
step forward when it decided to sub
NIT to the people this constitutional
amendment which is to be voted
upon in the general election. Every
day confirms the wisdom of the step.
and when we find such States as
West Virginia preparing to follow in
our footsteps it is easy to see that
the day is not far distant when there
will be no dissenting voice through
out the country, and We will then be
IN position to secure an outright
repeal OF the odious amendments
which have kept the South in socin
and political bondage for SO many
wears.
