TUESDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

The special House committee APP
pointed to investigate and report the
extent to which convicts are being
worked on the various railroads OF
the State, submitted its report TO the
House. with the recommendation that
after the outstanding obligations and
contracts are complied with no more
contracts be entered into with rail-
roads to furnish convicts for grading
purposes.
Declaring that they believe IL
should be the policy Of the State to
place penitentiary convicts on the
public roads, the committee submit
ted the following recommendations:
we, therefore, recommend that
the House declare, the Senate concur
ring. that II is the policy OF the State
OF North Carolina to furnish the con-
victs sentenced to the penitentiary
to the various counties under such
terms as Is just 10 the counties TO be
used by said counties in working the
public roads: and that as soon as the
State has fulfilled all moral obliga-
tons under the law and under the
contracts now existing, that the State
enter into no more contracts with
railroad companies TO furnish con-
victs to be worked on said railroads,
to be paid for in stock.

-FOUR PAGES, BUT FULL OF
MEAT.

The Caucasian appears this week
in a four-page edition. 1t is not IN
appropriate that we should thus marx
and emphasize the misfortune OF
Democratic national administration
which comes on top OF the worse
State government, which we have
ever suffered. But this unhappy con-
dition makes 1t more necessary than
ever for fearless independent papers
like The Caucasian to live, grow and
multiply to tell the people the facts
and all the truth.
We all know that machine party
orpans will not do this. Therefore
this issue of The Caucasian should be
an effective appeal to those Of our
scribers who are behind year or
more to send US at once what they
are due. so as to put US on a casn
basis and enable us to comply with
the law. We believe that every sub
scriber intends to pay his honest debt
to us Just as he pays his taxes and
other honest debts, but nearly one
fourth of them have neglected to do
so. The amount due runs into many
thousands of dollars.
For a year or more we have been
forced each week to meet printers
bills. paper bills, postage bills, etc,
with cash, while fourth OF our read
ers have paid nothing on these bills.
Now let every one who has neglected
this matter, at once send US what he
owes and we will go back to eight
pages.
The Caucasian is determined to
pay as it goes II our State govern
ment had been run on this business
principle, we would not today have
bankrupt State Treasury and a
Legislature looking for a way to
raise taxes The Democratic admin
istration has collected enough taxes
to run the government, but they have
wasted the money by extravaganza.
The Caucasian has not been extrav-
agant. We can make both ends meet,
without raising rates, if each one
will do his part. The Caucasian has
been honest with each one Of you.
Now look us in the face and be hon
est with US.
We are in the fight to have this
, Democratic administration succeeded
four years from now by one that
stands for progress and prosperity
Are you with us? If SO, let us hear
from you by next mail.
While The Caucasian is only four
pages this week. yet it 10 full Of meat
and will be every week, no matter
what It's size may be.

THE DEAD INDUSTRIES. "

Under the above caption the Char
lotte Observer fathers the following
editorial:
1.-The Highlander. published at
Shelby, is urging the people of
the Piedmont section to write
letters to Chairman Underwood
of the Ways and Means Commit
tee to restore the duty on mon
azite. This industry had just be-
gun to boom and was bringing
thousands Of dollars into Shell
by when Brazilian monazite was
made practically free and the
home industry was killed dead
as the traditional door nail. A
duty of six cents would be suf-
ficient to restore prosperity to a
large number Of landowners in
Cleveland County. The tariff
should be restored not only on
monazite, but on corundum. ruby
and abrasive minerals, SO
Astounding in the western section
of the State. There Is one mine
in Jackson County that would
resume operations and give en-
ployment to 5000 people follow
ing the restoration Of the duty.
It is hard to see why this situa-
ton should not appeal to the
trainers of the tariff. The kill
ing of these great home indus
tries should be against the pol
icy Of the Democratic party. We
are a little doubtful OF the result,
but there is cause to hope the
matter will be looked at in the
light Of reason"
1t is just possible that the Obser
yer Is quite right in wanting tn
former duty on monazite restored

home industry and keep more tina
