Recent hospital reports show that

EQUAL ACCOMMODATIONS

Perhaps some wise one will
rise up and tell Teddy that his
ukase demanding equal accom-
modations for the different
races is confiscatory, unless the
roads follow the exampleof the
Tennessee road cutting out soap
and towels. With that cut will
have to come the sleeprs and
dining cars. For no man of the
South will consent to have his
wife and daughters take their
meals with a party of colored
"gemmans," nor will they con-
sent to have the upper berth oc-
cupied by these same gentlemen
of color. Hence it will be up to
the roads to either take off Pull
mans and diners or supply them
to the public in equal degree of
elegance. From the cry raised
by the roads when reduction in
fares is mentioned, it seems they
would be operating at loss if
such requirements were made of
them. Well, it is up to Teddy
to buy some colored votes for his
party, and this play for the
black voter is countenanced by
the fact that something is said
about equal accommodations in
a law passed by. people who did
not suspect their families would
ever see the requirements of the
law carried out.

There are some old sayings in
the world that have been the
cause of so much misery that it
is wonder they have not been
condemned to the regions of ev-
erlasting darkness. One of these
wise saws, "The course of true
love does not run smotth," has
been drilled into every maid and
youth till they expect nothing
else, and thing there is not any
real love unless there be rocks in
the stream. They forget that
there are many broad, deep
streams that wind their way to
the ocean, always so calm and
so smooth, They forget that it
is the brawling stream on the
mountain that has the toughest
course, and that it is because it
is shallow. 1t is true there are
deep, clear places where the
GOODNESS and the limpid waters
are refreshing. But then again
there are places where the water
rushes in storm of unrest. But
-eq eq4 u! GIuo 9Ie seoeId es9q4
ginning of the stream, and fur
Their on it's course where there
should be quiet and peace and
rest, the rocks Of dissension and
selfishness so often break the
serenity. And with fatalism
born of the old saying, we ac-
cept the things that ought not to
be, as the hand of destiny. In
stead of resolutely determining
that there shall be no rocks, we
watch our happiness go to pieces
because of our own folly and
selfishness, and murmur against
a fate that is unkind.

HOME CANNERIES.

Tibet ruck and fruit growers
should be greatly encouraged at
the SUGGEST he home canned
goods are having now. The pio-
neers in this work have effected
an organization and placed at
it's head real business men, who,
by hard study and honest effort,
have proven the wisdom of such
a move.
The action of this organiza-
ton at it's last meeting is given
below. The Guide is ready to
lenda ny assistance to this move
that is in it's power to do:
The "home Gamers" have
made a hit with their products,
and their enthusiasm knows no
bounds. The Home Gamers
Association has just held it's an
nual meeting at Henderson, and
State Secretary and Organizer
B. M. Anderson of this county
was here today, on his way home
from that meeting. Mr.. Ander-
son is one of the original home
Gamers, and to his efforts per-
haps more than any other man,
has it been possible for the new
industry to grow. Mr.. Ander-
son has worked untiringly for
the success of the home Gamers,
and his efforts have been very
successful.
The Henderson meeting, he
said, was a fine one, and it was
at this meeting that his office
was stretched from that of sec
rotary to secretary and organic
er. And he will have some
twenty deputy organizers under
him. 1t is planned to organize
every county in that the State
that has fruits and vegetables
to can, and to control the pro-
ducts of the Gamers through one
central head. At the Henderson
meeting 1t was aScertalned that
there was a demand the past
season for more than 300 cars
of goods, and that the entire as
sociation did not can over TWEEN
ty cars. These three hundred
cars, declares Mr.. Anderson,
could have been sold at fancy
prices, becauset heo Inside world
has had a taste of the home can
ners' products, and their super
iority has madef or them a mar
ket that has grown by leaps and
bounds, and is entirely greater
than the supply. Now they are
going and try to fill that de-

Thc C0iOrrd Vote.

The dear colOred brother is going
to fight Taft and Teddy to a finish.
In a recent document presented TO
Speaker Cannon, Vicc-President
Fairbanks, Senator Foraker, and
other prominent Republicans, the
allied negro societies Of the United
States said that they intended to do
three things:
"To arouse the women of the race
to the necessity Of defeating Taft or
Roosevelt.
"To use the churches to which
colored people belong and their pas
tors to the same end.
ITO hold public meetings through
out the United States to protest
against the nomination of Taft or
Roosevelt
What do YOU think of that? 1t
looks as if Mr.. Hearst had a hand in
this business. He will open the
doors of the independence League

million votes which were cast for
Teddy in 1904.

.-y.. ~ NO uicil III the coun-
try have more sincere respect and
liking for each other than Theodore
Roosevelt and William Jennings Bry-
an. We like to read of the associa-
ton Of these two and have sincere
pleasure in observing that the Pres
ldcnt never neglects an opportunity
to show Mr.. Bryan special attention
and honor. They dined together at
the White House two or three days
ago and we a imagine that when
they are beyond the reach of the
reporters much good natured chaff-
ing occurs between them. Really
we would be interested to know how
they define in their frank and in
formal personal conversations, their
political differences. Mr.. Roosevelt
has an unbroken record Of victory,
not only over his Democratic oppon-
ents, but over laggards and foes in
his own party. Mr.. Bryan has been
the victim of successive defeats.
Yet the victor has grown into many
of the advanced and progressive pol
icies of the vanquished. We suspect
that in the bottom of his heart
he realizes his own Obligations
to Mr.. Bryan and the Democratic
party for most Of the ideas and pur-
pose with which he is so conspicously
identified. However they may be,
the Presidents ungrudging respect
for the leader Of the opposite party
and his generous manifestation of it
is graceful. 1t would be well if all
we obscure voters, constituting the
masses of the two parties, would
learn from the example Of these two
big leaders and realize that it is not
only possible but proper for Amcri-
a citizens to hold opposing political
opinions and membership in defer
cnt parties while at the same time
maintaining sincere regard and re-
spect for each other.--Richmond

Ifarors Unit Rule.

1t is hard for Senator Tillman to
please The News and Courier in
what he says about the delegates
from this State to Denver. The
Senator and the News and Courier
both agree that the delegates should
not be instructed but they reach the
common conclusion from different
motives. The News and Courier
don't want them instructed because
it hopes to slip in an anti Bryan del
egate or two, while the Senator
don't want them instructed because
he thinks lit is foolish to tie up the
men who 60 to Denver when we
know that they would vote for
Bryan. anyhow" The Senator
went on to say that he believed in
the unit rule, which means that q
majority of the delegation would
determine for who III eighteen
votes would be cast. Asa majority
Of the delegates will undoubtedly
favor Mr.. Bryan they would cast
South Cardinals eighteen votes for
him, even should The News and
Courier manage to slip in an anti
Bryan delegate or two on the dele
CATION. Therefore The News and
Courier says the Senator'S notions
that the delegation, or the State
Convention for it. shoule adopt tho
unit rule is illogical and
able" Those papers that can find
comfort in Senator Tillman's posi-.
ton are easily comforted.

The Republican leaders are deter
mined on an early adjournment of
Congress-. and have tentatively
agreed upon May %, but the con
~troversey between the President and
Congress over the control of the
army has become acute. In the
Senate, on the 10Th inst, Senator
Rayner, Of Maryland, read a letter
relating to the punishment inflicted
on Col. Stewart, Of the regular ar
my without atrial. and made fierce
attack on the President, charging
him with usurpation and the sub
stitution Of martial law in place
Of the Constitution, and the laws Of
of the land. This, Mr.. Rayner
characterized as military despotism,
The letter of the President to
Senator'S Stewart, Of Vermont, and
Smith of Michigan, in which he de-
clared himself supreme over the ar
my and navy without regard to any
law of Congress, will probably be
placed in the Congressional Record
before the debate closes, and may
result in action by the Senate, which
would postpone the adjournment Of
Congress.
The much amended currency bill
will be discussed in the House in a
day or two, and will probably be
passed practically as agreed upon at
the Republican conference. 1t may
be called a purely imitation measure
with the government guaranty of
the notes, and will undoubtedly in
vOlve the Treasury in endless trouble
in the future, as all makeshift finan-
cial measures do. There are two
reasons for passing it at this late
day; first, because this Republican
Congress must show it has done
something; and second, because the
Wall Street bankers are demanding
this initiation.

Why the Farmers Should Stand
by Their Guns and
HOLD THEIR COTTON.

Strong Argument for the Cotton
Growers and Against the Middle
Men. Five Months Before the New
Crop Will Move and the Middle
Men Short on Their Contracts for
Delivery.
We commend the following letter
from Mr.. j. t.. Wannamaker OF st.
Matthews, to the careful perusal Of
all who are interested in the pros
perity Of our Southland:
Although ] do not claim to he a
prophet, or the son Of a prophet. |
venture TO assert that cotton should
not DC sold in the present low mar
ket; first, because of the moral effect
upon the farmers themselves. | need
not tell YOU how for forty long years
the middle man, the sp%eculator and
the gamblers have made Il foot ball
Of cotton; how for the time being, he
has set at nought the great law of
supply and demand, and thereby rob
bed the cotton producer and the
South of millions Of money; how the
farmers tamcly and ignobly submitted
to this thraldom until Il few wears ago
the slumbcring manhood Of the South
asserted itself, and at New Orleans
made Il new declarations Of indepon-
dencc.
| need 10 tell your readers how
steadily IL organization has grown,
how bitterly it has been fought by
the New York and other cotton eN-
changes; all these things are matters
OF history. TO surrender now, fOul
to five months before it is possible to
put now cotton in quantities in the
market, would be to take counsel OF
our fears, 20 show the white feather
to play into the hands OF II enemies
and to invite defeat now and here
after.
Then, again, it is not the time tC
sell cotton, because the low prices
prevailing would entail too great fl
nancial loss upon those who have
riskcd all for the common good. II
is we'll known that The last crop was
made at hi&h cost. Mules, wagons
fertilizers, farm supplies OF all kinds
including labor; all commanded higl
prices.
