STAND TOGETHER.

The Southern Cotton Associ-
alton has done great good in
keeping up the price of cotton
during the past two or three
years, and doubtless those who
have discouraged it's work are
now beginning to feel more like
encouraging it. The difference
between cotton at 81 cents and
124 cents means a great deal
to the South. 1t means at least
two hundred and fifty million
dollars annually, Farmers can
do nothing better for their own
protection than to stand to-
gether in their organization for
maintaining good prices.

WILL IT BE BRYAN?

Before another issue of this
paper shall come from the press
the man who shall preside over
this country as it's chief execu-
tive for the next four years will
have been chosen as a result OF
our national election. William
J. Bryan for the Democratic
party, and William H. Taft for
the Republican party, are the
men between whom the people
must make their choice. The
one is perhaps the best known
citizen of the world. The other
was almost unknown to the
world until his name was men.
toned for the office of Presi-
dent of the United States. Mr..
Bryan, the almost universally
known citizen of this country
is the candidate of the people;
Mr.. Taft, who but recently has
come into prominence, is the
candidate of trusts, monopolies
and plutocracy.
While it is the way of politics
for each side to claim the vic
tory before hand, there is no
question that the contest will
be close one unless the un-
usual occurs. While all sorts
of claims are made by those in
charge of the interests of either
party it now seems impossible
for anyone to forecast more
than the probable result of the
election.
Mr.. Bryan is surely and with
out doubt most popular and
versatile man, and on this
hangs the hope of his election.
Mr.. Taft has not the advantage
of this great popularity and
versatility, but is supported by
the great ond enormous money
power of this country, land here
on hangs the hope of his cleo
ton.
The Democratic party stands
for the best government, and
thereby upholds the rights of
the people of this country; the
Republican party stands for
for the favored few
and thereby disregards the in
terests of the masses. The
great choice lies now immedi-
ately before the people;let them
look we'll to their interests and
do their full duty for the cleo
ton of Mr.. Bryan on next Tues
day.

a GREAT COTTON MEETING.

At the call of President Har-
vey Jordan of the Southern
Cotton Association, a great
mass meeting will be held in
Memphis, Tennessee, Nov. 10th,
for the purpose of making spe-
cial effort to advance the price
of spot cotton. The convention
will be composed of cotton
farmers, cotton ginners, cotton
merchants, bankers and others
who are willing to aid in the
movement.
Mr.. G. G. Moore, formerly
president of the North Carolina
Cotton Association, Writes to
the News and Observer con-
corning that meeting as fol-
lows:
"Permit me to call the atten-
ton of the business men and
farmers to the call for a NAM
moth cotton convention on No
vember 10th, at Memphis,
Tenn.
"This convention is called for
the purpose of inaugurating a
movement to advance the price
of cotton.
"Perhaps it will be a good
move for the cotton counties in
North Carolina to hold mass
meetings in the court houses on
October 3lst to consider the ad.
visibility of having the. coun.
ties represented at the Memphis
convention.
"The price of cotton is now
much below the cost of produc-
ton. l feel that it is my duty
to make this move, hoping that
those interested in cotton prices
will take action at once to ad.
vance the price.
eve should remember the
wide spread good results fol
lowing the cotton convention
held in New Orleans in Jan.
uary, 1905.
| eff the price of cotton in 100;
was advanced by the co-opera
ton of all interests in the
jSOuth, from 7 cents to - cents
in the face Of 100000 bale
crop, it seems to me that an.
other such cooperative move
might move the price of this
crop from 9 to IL cents pei
pound.
"Shall we try it? It is up tc
the business men and farmers
to say what to do.''

criminals is demanded by an outrag-
ed community and will prove salu-
tary in preventing like crimes in bal
lot boxes. there is need for more con-
structive methods for the protection
of our elections and the assurance Of
clean votes. The evidence adduced
in court shows that hundreds of men
vote who cannot even read the Eng
lish language. Many scores of such
ballots were marked by the judges
and clerks Of election. While many
such ballots were doubtless honestly
marked for the ignorant voter, it is
too open an invitation to fraud to
longer allow that class Of society the
freedom Of the voting booth.
The question we'll may be raised
whether any man should be clothed
with the dignity and power of citi-
zenship before he can read our Ian
guage. The final court Of appeal in
this land is the individual voter. How
can we be assured Of and indepen-
dent and intelligent vote unless the
voter knows what he is doing? By
all means, let US have immediate re-
form in this matter. The light of
our national body is the eye of the
ballot. If this eye be single then the
whole body shall be full Of light. but
if this eye be evil, then the whole
body shall be full of darkness; If,
therefore, the light that is in US be
darkness, how great is the darkness!

Crime In the Ballot BeX.

IN. P. Boynton. in The Standard.)
Crime in the ballot box is a fatal
disease in the vitals of American in
situations. To allow such crimes to
go on is to invite utter ruin of our
Republic. The hand that is laid on the
ballot box to pollute it, has touched
the secret spring that will open the
door through which will flock every
demon charged with the destruction
of human liberty. Such hand opens
the flood gates Of corruption and dis
honor. If we are unable to purify
and keep clean the ballot boxes, then
we have failed In our effort to build
a great nation governed by free
men. And if this condition must
continue, then we can none to soon
put king in Washington and turn
over to him the army and navy, say
ing. "Sire, we can no longer protect
our liberties, you must protect and
preserve them for us and our child
ren." A corrupted and corrupting
ballot is the first and last shame of
democracy.
Nothing so discourages the activity
Of good men in politics as the con-
tinued prosperity Of bad men in poll
tics. Here little leaven leaveneth
the whole lump. The present cleo
ton contest In this city has brought
to light enough evidence to show
that it behooves every liberty loving
citizen to give grave heed to the ex-
animation Of ballots cast in certain
wards. There are lessons to be
learned that should burn themselves
into every brave heart.
1t should be recognized that the
task Of the states attorney is doubly
hard. 1t is his duty to ferret out ev-
cry man, high or low, who has plac-
ed criminal hands on the ballots, and
punish such with the severest penal
ties Of the law, but in this instance
there is large personal element.
And yet, this should in no wise deter
him in the fearless discharge Of his
duty, nor will it; the record Mr..
Healy has made is assurance of that.
No honorable man will profit
through crime, if he can help it.
Nomination by fraud is no cleaner
than goods by theft. For the sake
of all concerned, and it concerns us
all, turn on the light! Let the exact
facts be known. This is the peoples
business! When the facts are known
let exact justice be visited upon those
judges and clerks of election, those
bosses and political workers and eve
ry citizen who is shown to have COM
mitted high treason by tampering
with the ballots of free men and
American citizens. Punish every
one Of them, though it require an
charging of jails to hold the crowd.
Nothing so discourages rascality as
aroused and militant Righteousness.
Here one shall chase thousand and
two shall put ten thousand to flight.
While punishment Of the present
