1t looks very much as if the predic-
ton of the late Senator Morgan OF
Alabama, that the Panama canal would
never be completed, will come trua
The senator was the real father of
the isthmian canal so far as America
is concerned; but he favored the Mic
aragua route as the most practicable
He did not believe the Panama route
was possible. He is not to be blamed,
however, for his view, which was not
of the least discredit to his gigantic
intellect.

Will the legislature nip the Charles
ton race track in the bud or will it
wait until the tragic results of it's op-
erations force the people to rise in
their wrath and stamp it out? If the
legislature acts in advance we will be
surprised. There are those who will
hold that it will be improper and un-
fair to take cognizance Of the matter
until after it has become an offender.
Why does the law make provision for
an appeal to the sheriff for protection
from a mob? No one can tell what a
mob is going to do until after it has
disbanded. Everybody knows what
racing associations have done else
where. Why should anybody think
that this association is going to do
different?

According to our idea of the thing.
the postmaster generals idea of not
allowing newspapers to give over so
per cent of their space to advertising,
is a good one. Advertising Is good.
A newspaper without advertising is
hardly worth while. Often the adver-
tising is of more interest and value
to the reader than the reading matter.
But still the publisher should be re-
quired to give at least as much gen.
eral reading matter as advertising.
We see nothing wrong with the ar

Something should be done for the
relief of Mr. T. E. Whitesides, a citi-
zen of York county, who is being
made to pay taxes on his York coun-
ty property to the county of Chero-
kee. OF course Mr.. Whitesides can
refuse to pay and make Cherokee sue;
but then he will have to pay attor-
ney's fees in an amount largely in
excess of the difference in taxes, and
that will not be fair. In a case like
this where a man is being denied his
constitutional rights, it appears to us
that the county should help him. In

The best thing that can be done for
cotton is to cut the acreage in half.
If the farmers of the south would en-
ter into a really serious engagement
to that end, prices would go up a
booming, and why the farmers can
not be induced to do this very thing,
when everybody knows that 10000
900 bales will bring more money to
the producers than will 100000
bales, is something difficult to under
stand.

Joseph Pearson Caldwell, who died
at Morganton last wednesday morn

generation. Broad, able, honest, fear
less, aggressive, scholarly, kind and
charitable, his personal disposition
was most lovable. AS newspaper
editor he made his influence felt
throughout the land, and the good
works that he did will long continue
a monument to his memory. There
were few like him.

of the United States Biological survey,
has presented an interesting study of
bird migration. In his article he tells
us that the cliff swallows which nest
ip Nova Scotia leave the Gulf Coast
OF Mexico about March 10 and arrive
at their destination two months later,
on May 10. Most of the birds that
spend the winter in Central or South
America he says take the direct route
across the Gulf instead of going via
Texas or by way of Florida, Cuba or
Yucatan, and this aerial journey
means a single flight OF from coo to

Neanderthal Type of Man Is Discovered
in a cliH Cave on the South
Shore Of Jersey.

Exploration of cave in the cliffs at
st. Brelade's bay, on the south coast
of Jersey, has resulted in the discov-
cry Of remains Of the very earliest
race yet known in Europe-the Mean
derthal.
The cave, situated sixty feet above
the present beach, was filled ana oD-
scured by surface fall in long past
period, but in more recent times has
become exposed by the action OF the
sea. The exploration which has been
carried out by the societe Jersaise'
was suggested by the discovery OF a
very primitive type Of flint implement
found in the rubble below the site OF
the cave.
Operations under the direction OF p
