each Southern State, and The Cauca-
sian will give the winner from this
State a free trip to Washington in
order that he may go up and receive
his diploma in person.
If you will send us your name stat,

CONFRONTING THE RAILROADS.
The Charlotte Observer. In q recen
editorial, says:

The Charlotte Observer. in q recen
iitorial, says:
For long time the people OF
North Carolina have seen COM
modities hauled past their doors
bound hundreds Of miles beyond
at rates which no North Carolina
point could obtain Outside
points situated amid mountains
received far lower rates than
North and South Carolina towns
favored with water transporta-
ton. Any contention that COM
petition is responsible deserves
no serious notice In these days
when the large railroads OF the
South have the most perfect un-
derstanding among themselves
on such subjects and make rates
as IL they were one system
indeed, most of them are under
one control. We know very well,
on the other hand, that commun-
tiles proflting by this discrimina-
tion-which began at time
when competition did exist and
when North Carolina had no
commercial town strong enough
to claim fair Northumberland
1t vigilantly. In the Carolinas
merchant, manufacturer and far
mer all protest more and more,
but thus far in vain.
''At this time when complaints
of increased living cost go up
from the whole country let us
see how much greater burdens
than their share the people Of
the Carolinas must endure. We
have cited various items when
discussing the freight rate ques-
ton before, and we will now
take the single item of -four. It
can be shipped from Ohio to
Lynchburg, Richmond and all
the way to Norfolk for 123 cents
a hundredweight; the moment it
crosses the North Carolina line
the rate leaps to 42a cents.
Western -four can be shipped to
Liverpool or Hamburg fifty cents
a barrel cheaper than to North
Carolina. The rates on grain are
similar.
1--WE advise the railroads that
they do not tax the already
wearied patience of people in the
Carolinas much longer. The cost
of-living problem is an added ir-
r1tant to the indignation already
felt"
The Observer has done the Sta
a service in calling pointed attenti
to these facts. and it has also do
the railroads a greater service if tn
are wise enough to heed this war

ENFORCEMENT OF ANTITRUST
LAWS.

Last week. when the suit Of the
Government against the American
Tobacco Trust for violating the
terms Of the Sherman antitrust law,
was being heard by the Supreme
Court of the United States, the At
torney-General of North Carolina
went all the way to Washington to
hear the argument in the famous
case. Why the Acknowledgement
went, and what will be the result, If
any, of his trip, we are anxious to
know.
The one thing that we do know.
however, is that the Republican par
ty is steadily prosecuting the trusts,
and not the little trusts only, but the
big ones also, under antitrust laws
passed by a Republican Congress,
while the Democratic administration
in North Carolina has not prosecuted
single trust under the State anti
trust laws. Cannot the News and
Observer induce the Governor and
the Acknowledgement to at least
make an effort to enforce the State
antitrust laws? What is the mat
ter? Is the present law another
sham like the former antitrust law
| Of the State, or do the officers of the
| State desire to enforce the law?

The East is looking TO the South

has men at work now securing data
on the prices received by the pro-
Queer for the most common food
products He viii ascertain. If pos
sible, who Is getting the benefit OF the
high prices prevailing throughout the
country.
Professor Milton, Chief of the Blu
reau of Soils, in giving his explana-
ton of the increase in the cost oil
living, said: I'VE as a nation are
very rich; wages are high and we
can afford greater variety than we
did fifty years ago. The markets in
our cities, large and small. already
have spring and summer vegetables
fruits and meats at prices within the
reach of the masses of the people"
| To his interview he added:
| There never have been greater OPP
portunities offered for American
farming. In the East and South
especially are cheap productive soils
awaiting re-settlement and re-occupa
ton, with ever increasing variety o
products. We should apply ourselves
in earnest and with determination t
get the best out of them by exercis
ing intelligent control of these in
valuable assets. We should further
more do this by force of intellect o
foresight, rather than by force o
necessity, as has been the case il

SHOULD PENSION CONFEDERATE
SOLDIERS

Mr.. Olds, the Raleigh correspond
ent of the Charlotte Observer, in
communication to that paper of Jan
uary 18th, says:
''If one talks to a group of ex-
Confederates, not of those who
have money and hence no need
of care by their State, but those
of more or less dependent, it
will be found that not few like
the idea of the United States
giving them a pension. AS they
put it, the war simply had to be
fought to settle the supreme
question whether a State could
or could not secede, and they
played their part in that settle
ment just as much as did their
friends, the enemy, on the other
side of Mason and Dixon's line.
Each side thought itself in the
right, and there you are. Now.
there are also Confederate vet
Grams of this class who would
like very much to see the United
States provide homes for them.
What wonderful change in
public sentiment there has been
In the forty-ffve years since the
war ended. Once and a while
some man on either side will
come out and say hard things,
but the odds are. he was not a
soldier of any repute, and this
the public knows pretty we'll.
There are many veterans yet
alive on both sides. Will the
time come when the same gov
eminent, now the greatest and
strongest in all the world and
for the first time united by law
and blood, will provide pensions
and homes for it's children
alike? This is a very interest
ing question. 1t will be the final
step towards absolute reconcilia-
ton"

The following press dispatch

The following press dispatch
speaks for itself:
Bristol, Tenn, Jan. 8.-A
bomb was thrown into a heated
Republican political meeting at
Johnson City to-day, when two
postmasters present received
kilograms from Postmaster Gen.
eral Hitchcock saying that they
were charged with pernicious
activity in politics, and demand
ing an immediate reply by wire.
They were G. Armstrong, Of
Hawkins County, and A. J.
Faulkner, of Cumberland Gap"
We don't know the circumstances
of this case, but the position of the
Postoffice Department is correct and
in the interest of party growth, il
applied everywhere. We trust that
the Postmaster General will not wait
until a convention meets in this
State to fire such kilograms. A
general order should be issued al
once.
