that they may avail themselves of the

LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

its long established and highly hon
orable principles of independence and
conform to their estimate of the 'lpro-
~prieties." 1t appears that an effort is
to be made to outline a platform fo-
the State convention that shall meet
their particular views. The idea adj
vanced by those interested is that it
IS not so much what the democratic
party has done in the past as what it
is going to do in the future that must
count. This sounds very well, but
talk is cheap. Neither the party, nor
the State were ever in a more favor

time and it would appear to be the
part of wisdom to let well enough
alone for the present
There does not. appear to be any
good reason why the party should be

sounded the key note in his Inaugural
address a little more than q year ago
Mere than that, he has labored. in

he has not made the fight alone. The
strong arm of the Corporation Com

that: the railroads, themselves, have

THE STATE WINS IN RATE FIGHT

The State of North Carolina has won
a notable victory in the long, persist
ent fight for lower freight rates and
her people may heave a sigh of gen.
uine relief. On Friday of last week
the interstate Commerce Commission
issued an order granting the relief
asked by the Corporation Commission
and the Legislative Commission APP
pointed by Governor Craig. 1t is be-
lieved that the new rates, which rep
resent a saving of 5 2,O00SO00, will be
put into effect within sixty days.
Thus will be removed the rank dis
elimination, in favor of Virginia
cities, which has so long existed tn
the injury of the business interests of
North Carolina. It will now be posi-
BILE for jobbers and Wholesale deal

Times:
Gas a DIRECT RESULT Of an arti-
Gle published in the Times in its issue
of February 81 a big reduction in
freight rates from He~ndersonville has
been announced"

dissemination of rank anti doctor

ton Commission. the State Just
Freight Rate association and the In
ter-state Commerce commission, to
say nothing of the diligent attention
gwen this subject by the Greater Hem
Jacksonville club and those more di-
rectly interested in the freight rates
on the products of the Ottaray Can

corporation, the Times gives this veil

'This communication SPECIFICAL-

situation, thus leading its readers
farther into the dark. The Times
cunningly declined to say that t.

it in the face by taking pains to en-

T~ransylvania and the uniform system
ought to work well. 500 worth of

not yet disputed the title of either.

to refrain absolutely from anything

Outsiders" are wondering why the
State Democratic Executive Committee
called the State convention so early
this year, since no National v
ton is to be held and only one State
officer, besides a few superior court
judges, are to be nominated. Futher,
they do not understand why the pre-
c:nct meetings, and county primaries
and conventions should be held so
long before the date for the State con-
vention. Well, in the first place, Sem
stcr Overman and the representatives
from the State in Congress, especially
those who anticipate opposition, let it
be known that they desired an early
convention. Second, the earlier the
primaries, the quicker will come a set
tiement of all controversies brought
On by the fellows who have the hardi-
hood to want %in." OF course, this is
only a layman's opinion and the pub
lie may take it for what it is worth .
