DURUM WHEAT.

Comparison of This Variety With Our
Common Grain.
Professor Shepard of South Dakota
has recently issued report on durum
wheat, in which it is shown that ku
banka contains less bran than Red
Fife, that more -four is made from Ku.
banka and that the -four contains a
larger amount of the proteid of the
wheat than does -four made from
northern spring wheat Baking tests,
however show that spring wheat
makes larger loaf and contains a
larger amount Of glladin in the gluten
than is the case with kubanka wheat.

RECEIVER DUNCAN.


In the appointment or Mr. e C.
Duncan, of Beaufort, as the third re-
ceiver of the Seaboard Air Line we
think Judge Pritchard deserves the
lcommendation of all North Carolin-
ians. 1t was very fitting. indeef, that
the third receiver should be North
Carolinian. One of the other two vas
a Marylander, representing one inter
est in the road. and the other was
virginian, representing another inter-
est. Nr. Duncan, as we understand il,
represents the court in whose hands
The affairs Of the company now are
Judge Pritchard had been urged TO
name a New York lawyer for this
place; but he preferred appointing
a man with whose qualifications he
was acquainted and in whose integrity
he had perfect confidence. From long
acquaintance with Hr. Duncan Judge
Pritchard was satisfied that heawould
fill the bill as to both of these Qualifi-
cations, and in the selection of his
man we think he did a wise and judi
cious a.t 1t showed that he thought
North Carolina could furnish a man
competent and qualified to fill the Of
fee and, therefore, he gave the appoint
ment to this state.
Mr.. Duncan's record shows that the
judge made no mistake. Mr.. Duncan
has 80 creditably filled the position Of
collector of internal revenue in his
district for twelve years that the
censorious Mr. Roosevelt personally
complimented him Oh his conduct Of
the office and expressed regret at his
resignation He is the North Carolina
member of the republican national
committee, has twice been delegate
at large to his party's national con-
ventions and has been two or three
times a member of the state legisla-
-ure
These facts show IN what esteem he
is held by his friends and acquaint-
ances, and if a man IS to be judged by
his record show that he is one worthy
of the confidence Judge Pritchard has
imposed in him in making him one of
the receivers of this big railroad sys-
that the judge is not going to find
that he has made mistake. The state,
the company and the Judge are to be
congratulated On the selection.

for Mr.. Glenn to contend that when
| that proposition was first made he did
| not intend the money to be paid by the
railroads was to be used in defray-
| ing the expenses OF tho extra session
OF the legislature as well as the costs
OF the rate suits. Mr.. Glenn has used
that expression too often for him to
deny at this late day that such was his
purpose. Be that as il may, we have
shown in these columns that the accep-
tance by the state OF money from the
railroads in the existing circumstances
was reprehensible, no matter to what
specific purpose he now contemplates
applying it.
Mr.. Glenn says ne believes the rate
fixed by the last session of the legis-
lature was just II he thought that
why the cost Of ar extra session of
the legislature with the recommends
tion that it increase the rate adopted
at that session? Isn't this another
point at which the young lawyer
shows himself weak on his facts anl
also in doubt about the law? And it
affords a good opportunity to shell
the woods which the governor pro-
ceeds to do, and then unrge the legis-
lature to repeal this just rate and
adopt the higher one agreed On by
him with the railroads.
On the subject Oh prohibition the
governor urges the legislature tc pass
law to go into effect July 1st next
In his recommendations the governor
steps from the platform of the party
on which he was nominated and elected
and which he pledged his honor to
observe SO long as he served the party
which nominated him and the PEOPLE
who elected him Oh that pledge of
honor and fealty to the party and to
the people. II he feels he can vio-
late those pledges, just because of a
Cesire to keep in the front rank of a
popular movement the matter rests
with him. IL he AID the balance of
the party can stand such apostasy we
can.

SHOPPING AT SEA.

Wonder what will be the next inno-

After awhile fashionable women will
be found taking the round trip On one
Of these ocean palaces for the sole pur-
pose Of doing few days shopping in
English, French and American estab-

Shopping at sea is likely to become a
new fad with the high-fyers Of Ameri-

THE POLITICAL CUTTLE-FISH

The News and Observer remarks that
"the man who says the legislature has
been convened to correct a mistake is
ignorant Of the causes that Influenced
the governor" No doubt; for it would
take a wiser man than Solomon to
make a right guess in this case. The
New Bern Sun seems to think that the
governor himself has forgotten what
were the causes that Influenced him.
1t asks what was the particular mat
ter the state was in a row over and
for which the governor called the spe-
cial session of the Legislature to set
tle?" and suggests that possibly the
governor has a memorandum of it and
that he will have time to look it up
by the time the assembly meets next
Tuesday,"
Those who are not in the governors
confidence and cannot read his mind
and thoughts have to be governed in
such matters by his declarations, which
were that the extra session was call
ed in order that the legislature might
amend, modify, strengthen, change or
repeal" the passenger and freight rate
laws Of the last session of the same
nation on the governors part that in
his opinion the former legislature made
a mistake is an inference each one
must draw for himself. There would
be no necessity for SO soon considering
repeal of those statutes if it was not

In their behalf last week. Whether he
is working in his own interests or in

real value than it was before he enter
ed the market, and he is putting thous-
ands Of dollars in the pockets of the
southern planters. Whatever his mo-
tives may be he is helping them. The
only danger is that some may lose
their heads and begin to speculate to
find themselves on the wrong side OF
the market after awhile, buying long

continue to rise. Those who do this
are in danger Of being caught by Sully
himself after awhile. Sell spot cotton

thought mistake OF some kind had been

The News and Observers statement
that the only reasons-or the chief
reasons-that caused Governor Glenn
TO call a special session and suggest
change are that the standing master
and circuit judge excluded important
testimony by arbitrary two-year rule
ard officials of tae Southern railway
row swear that their sworn reports
to the corporation commission were
not true" is too absurd-too purely
nOnsensical-to be considered, and We
do not believe The governor would
stultify him3elf by adopting them as
his real reasons for issuing the call.
Such would be too ridiculous even If
no other road than the Southern were
involved; but where the proposed leg
islation is to apply To nearly every
railroad in the state the assertion is
too nonsensical for any one TO heed for
moment

the subject Is headed Keep the Facts

ing would have been: Lets Muddy

THOSE ON THE PARTY FENCE

The news and Observer, the self con-
stituted democratic Bible, exponent of
democracy and the democratic organ
OF the state, says that prohibition is
not party question. Let it be pass
ed for moral uplift' In the same is
sue it also says editorially:
In 1881. when a democratic legis-
lature submitted the question to the
people. the republican state conven-
ton took the ground that submission
was wrong and got astride a Whiskey
barrel and tried to ride into power
Under the leadership of DR.. Mott,
they organized the liberal party and
some brilliant men joined it, and un-
der these two names sought to defeat
the democratic party.
So, according to that paper prohibi-
ton was a party issue in 1881, and it
strikes us that it has been made more
time by the incorporation into the
party's platform of the provisions of
the Watts and the Ward laws, which
are still prominent planks in the
partys declarations of principles. So
long as those planks remain a part of
the party's platform it is nonsensical
for any one to claim that it is not
party issue, and any one who tries to
make the people believe that it is not
is endeavoring to pull the wool over
their eyes for selfish and ambitious
purposes 1t is absurd for any one to
maintain that prohibition is not po-
litical question SO long as one of the
great political parties advocates in it's
platform a certain manner of settling
the question by the people
Another thing about that contest in
1881, when a democratic legislature
submitted the question to the people"
and the republican party organized the
liberal party, thinking to draw demo-
Gratis from their party allegiance AT
that time some democrats were in
doubt as to the sxccess of the move
ment and they crawled up on the
fence and waited there until they
found out that the movement was a
failure. They were on the fence watt
ing to see which party would win be-
fore deciding on which side of the
fence to flop. Had the liberals" won
they would have been full-fedged re-
pubicans by this time But the "lib- !
erals" lost and those fellows dropped
back on the democratic side and have !
ever since been the loudest-mouthed
democrats and the most blatant de-
