Atlanta Constitution.

The weekly financial letter of the
Associated Press reports that 1ast
week in the stock market saw prices
carried to the highest average level
touched since early in 1906, when the
highest prices in the history OF the
New York stock exchange were
touched"
Viewed lis tolerably infallible por-
tent, this development means that
prosperity of great dimensions waits
Just around the corner. 1t is pros
perity, also, sheared, or at least
largely purged, of that baneful ele-
ment of speculation and imitation
that made recovery from the panic
so difficult and protracted a process.
The nation has lost a little blood,
but with it has come to it's senses.
Indications are plentiful that COM
mereial ventures generally for the i'm
mediate future will rest upon solid
foundations, ignoring the shortcuts,
the frenzied financiering and the
'pyrdamidal'' methods that sapped
the powers of resistance of the bodies
economic and industrial.
Easily the most significant feature
of the analysis is the repeated decla-
ration that we see sunrise On the
horizon by reason OF the prophecy OF
the harvests.
1t is the likelihood that wheat and
corn and cotton will fetch high prices,
that they will bring into America a
returning stream of gold from
Europe, that has inspired the men
who finger financial pulse of the ma
ton to lay their designs for series
of fat years.
At the last analysis, it is the Ameri-
can farmer that gives form and i'm
petus to material well-being in this
country.
So long as Providence smiles upon
his efforts, the political affiliations OF
the men who rule at Washington are
matters of only relative Importance.

For the States Seaport.
Charlotte Observer.

In a recent private letter from Rep
resentative Goodwin of the Sixth dis
trict, in reference to the deepening OF
the channel from Wilmington to the
sea he says: 81 consider this one of
the most important matters for
North Carolina and that section of
country generally now pending be-
fore Congress. 1t is a matter that
cannot be agitated too much. have
the support aud influence of the en-
tire North Carolina delegation and
Of many others in behalf of this
thirty-foot project, and l feel salts
fed that it's accomplishment. is as
sured."
Mr. Goodwin truly says this is a
matter that cannot be agitated too
much. By agitation the people will
be made acquainted with the advan-
tages to them to be derived from the
carrying out ofthe plan, and learning
of them, the people to be benefited
will become interested in the success
OF the movement and will do their
part in the effort to make it a sue
cess. There should be not only a
unity of public sentiment throughout
the State and this whole section in
favor OF the Federal government Civ
ing Wilmington thirty:foot chan
mel to the sea, but that sentiment
should make itself heard and felt. If
that is done, then this public senti-
ment will have it's effect where it can
do good. A unanimous desire among
the people for the proposed work
will do no good unless given express
sion to by words and acts. This is
a movement in behalf Of the people
in all sections of the State and they
should give countenance and aid to
those who have taken on themselves
the burden of convincing the Federal
government of the works great i'm
portance and securing the necessary
appropriation for it's accomplish
ment. We are glad to note the con-
fidence Mr.. Goodwin has in the success
of the movement.

THE SOUTHERN HEART IS TRUE

Pity that Mean Measures Like CowIes
Bill Should be Introduced-South
Wants Peace and Freedom From
the Agitation-r1cKinIey Had Tact
] and South Believes Taft Also fias
Sense.
Writing to the News and Observer
Mr.. A. V. Dockery, a Republican,
makes this comment on the bill re-
Gently introduced in Congress by
Representative Cowles-a Force bill
measure which means restoring bay
onet rule in the South. However,
we think there is undue attention
given the young man from the
Eighth North Carolina District and
his feeble attempt to get notoriety.
There will be no more Force bills,
either Of MI. Gowles' introduction or
any other. Mr. Dockery says:
To the Editor: The Cowles resolu-
ton to re-establish a connection with
the evils of Reconstruction days is
very positive proof that North Caro-
lima and the South need no more Re-
publican congressman.
What Mckinley did in his kindly
spirit Of respecting even our faults,
and what Taft is beginning to do in
respecting the genius that is in our
hearts and minds by appointing de-
cent and reputable men to administer
Federal affairs amongst us may be
undone in a moment by such nefari
Gus methods as Mr.. Cowles pro-
poses.
The Southern heart is as much Ma
tional as that of Maine, more SO than
Pennsylvania Dutch heart. The
Southern mind rings true to the Ma
ton, and it is a pity that unworthy,
mean measures like that of COwles,
should be suggested by a Southern
born man.
+ The Cowles business does not only
mean an effort to re-establish bay
onet rule, but negro rule. The South
will have neither again, nor Mr..
Cowles, either. Everybody knows
that the bayonet itself could not keep
the negro ON top and prosperity down
years ago, and that all the bayonets
in our army cannot put him on an
equal plane politically again, and
the bayonets of the whole earth shall
not place him the social equal here
any more than anywhere that God
made.
We want peace; we want rest from
political agitators; We want less poll
tics; then we will help to assure Ma
tional prosperity.
We are trusting Taft as we did Nc
Kinley to protect us in our personal
ity, give US a clean set of officials,
and while we would obey and respect
any President, we shall honor and
love Taft. A. V. DOCKERY.

Knows What to do With Wife,
Beaten.
Salisbury Post.

Salisbury Post
The question What shall We do
with the wife beater?' has been an
swered in very positive manner by
a Reidsville negress of whom a press
dispatch of the 10th says:
MARY Brockman, colored, fired
three pistol balls into her husband
at Reidsville Saturday night. The
wounded man is expected to die.
Byrd Brockman, her husband, was
whipping his wife when n pistol
dropped out OF his pocket. The wo-
man picked up the weapon and open
ed fire, shooting three times. All
three shots took effect, one ball pass
ing through the intestines."
There's one woman who has no
need for the protection afforded by
legislatures and courts.

Acknowledging Justice Of South's
Position.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
= "The day may Gomez says Col
lier's Weekly, commenting upon the
enlightened observations of Nr. Will
liam Archer, an English writer, on the
Southern States, "'when the North
will formally acknowledge that the
South's stubborn refusal, since the
civil war, to yield an inch of it's stand
in the matter of the relations of the
races was an epochsl contribution to
the white rae. in Amarica, which I'M
der the outrageous difficulties which
the North pressed down upon the
South. could not have been done diff
ferently. Probably it would be i'm
possible to prophesy a day more un-
happy for this continent than the
one on which the Southern white
should abate one iota of his race
pride" Which is very truly said and
very gratifying. With such express
sions now frequent in the North, it
more than ever behooves the South
to do justice to the negro.

Possibilities of Lee County in Fruit
Growing.
Sanford Express.

Sanford Express.
The largest and finest favored
peaches we have seen this year were
raised by F. R. Toomer, colored, on
his farm near this place. He brought
two to this Office which weighed 10
ounces each. We doubt if there is a.
county in the State that will grow
finer peaches than Lee. Much of the
land in Lee countyis as we'll adapted
to the culture of peaches and other
fruit as the land around Southern
Pines and Pinehurst. Mr.. John DYE,
who was born and reared near San
ford, but who has for a number of
years made his home in California,
and who is now in on a visit, tells
The Express that there iR no finer
land in the country for raising fruits,
vegetables and other crops than is
to be found here in Lee county. He
says that if it is properly handled it
can be made as productive for fruits
and vegetables as the lands of Cali
fOrnia.

The Best Inheritance of the South.
Fayetteville Observe.

Fayetteville Observe.
The spirit that placed honor above
gain prevailed in the Old South, and
it is the best inheritance of the South
today. The recollection of it and
the practice of it now is the cohesive
power which makes "the Solid South"
We believe it will prevail against the
spirit of commercialism which, forty
odd years ago, united the North in
coercion of the South and i'm the
practical changing of our form of
government. Let the South hold
out: there are many evidences that
the North, now that higher educa-
ton is eivilizing that section, will
come to our way of thinking and
help us to restore the dne balance of
the Constitution disturbed by rude
war

Money Put in Good Roads Not Ex.

The people who are not willing to
put a debt on their county in order
to secure good roads lose sight of
the fact that bad roads are a heavier

loss OF time, wear of stock and We
hicles, retarding advance in price of
real estate, etc, than would be the
interest on the bonds and the sum
annually put to the sinking fund for
the payment of the principal Ex-
pending money in properly building
good roads is not spending but
rather investing it in a way which
will be sure to bring good returns to
the investors and those who come
after them.

Fifteen-Years Cruise.
Monroe Journal.

Monroe Journal
In these days OF quick work it is
interesting to read that yacht now
ready to sail from New York on a
fifteen-year cruise, will require that
length of time to do the jobfor which
she was built. Her work is to cor
rect the magnetic charts OF all the
oceans of all the world, and she is
built as near non-magnetic as such a
thing is possible. Every piece of
metal put into the yacht was thor
oughly tested for magnetism, and
scientists agree that her compasses
will point to the magnetic pole with
out the slightest variation from every
angle of the globe. The undertake
ing is directed by the Carnegie In
stitute at Washington.

Southern Railway Undaunted by
Disaster at Lynchburg.
Charlotte Chronicle.

Charlotte Chronicle.
For months past the Southern
Railway Company has had contract
ors at work cutting a line of track
through Lynchburg, by which the
route will be shortened seven miles.
VI course tunnels figure largely in
the new line. In one of the tunnels
1000 feet long, fire broke out last
Thursday and was not extinguished
until Saturday. The fire caused q
destruction of about 100000 in
timber work and caused a cave-in of
aportion of u Lynchburg street under
which it passed. The ultimate COM
pletion OF the tunnel is thus DELAYED
but the enterprise Of the Southern is
undaunted. This company long since
gave the South as fine a road as the
Pennsylvania, and it's present de-
termination seems to be to give
evelra better one.

The Charleston News and Courier
put up bold front in defense of the
right OF newspaper publishers to give
advertising in exchange for trans
portation, vulgarly known as ''free

having started a good fight, seems
to have dropped it. The News and
Courler's contention was a just one.

have the newspapers of the country
relieved from this Interstate COM

Raise Home Supplies First.
Greenville Reflector.

uTttHVIIIt NpntCtOr. =
The present price of tobacco ought
to convince the farmers that it would
pay them far better to raise less of it
and put more acres in food crops. 1t
Is hard to break them from the habit
OF raising the so-called money crops,
but when the money derived there
from is not enough to cover the ex-
pense OF making the crop, it is time
for a change. Farmers are certainly
not going to better their condition
to any great extent until they raise
all their supplies. They are in much
better position to stand low prices
