The real estate man's hobby is that his town is the best on earth and he it the known and sworn friend of pres ent and future progress, lie never lives in the past bnt for the future. To make money for others is ever his mission in life. Editor Caddell, of the Salisbury Sun, truly says that Marion Butler has had his ianing in this State, and is now oat and must stay out, and adds that if Mr Baiter had cham pioned the suffrage amendment h would have been called a hero and received the credit for its success.

Raleigh, N. C, Juue 26, 1905. Another horrible tragedy has been enacted iu Ruleigh and as one of the results young John Dockery, the 25-yeai-old toil of U S Marnhal Heurv C Dockery, a deputy iu hit father's office, lies at the poiut of death iu a hospital here with two pistol balls in his body and "only one chauce iu a hundred", his physicians say, to recover. Dockiirv was shot bv oolicemuu Isaac W Rogers for the debauching and alleged seduction or a daughter of Kogers, a young girl about 18 years of aire- 1 be shooting occurred iu a large ofHoe building in lie heart of the city at tea o clock Sat urday morning, a few hours after young Dockery returned to luleigh iroui Washington, where he had ueeu iu attendance on the, federal Court. Rogers immediately sur reudeied hiuisulf and is now iu jail Mixed up iu the affair is Claude liernard, former U S District At torney, who is said to be dodging the Uther and brothers if another juuuggirl named Howell whom he ha lu-eu delmuchiiig (after having seducel lier, it is charged) and who repeated 1 took lu r to an assiguutiou bouse here in company ith Dockery ami the Kogerrf girl, lienmru is an unprepiHtiesiiig little duck legged fello, n ally 60 year of age, a married uiau with hiit wife anil several children reaidtii" in this eil. He Ii.h a notorious reputation III UlatteiS of this kind and it is charged that be was compelled to leave lireenville, tilt cjnnty, (his former home) on account of his es capades there. On one occasion he was snot at by the husbauu of a lady whom he had insulted and pursued with his attentions, Bernard saving bis hide whole only by beating au ignominious retreat and "hiding out' from the irate husband, It is common talk here today among the citizens of Raleigh that thry believe Bernard is the guiltier mau of the two and that he proba. bly if largely responsible for the trouble the young victim of Rogers got into. Bernard will be arrested as soon as he can be located. The ante-mortem statement of Dockery was taken. His age is 2 7, he has been muoh in society, and is very widely known among the younger set. It was expected that Bernard might be shot, out an at torney said it was thought the dan ger of this had been avoided. He said there would very likely be crim inal action against Bernard, as well as civil. Lula Rogers is a very at- j tractive girl, Miss Howell being! notably pretty. She has been a clerk in a store here for some time. There is considerable sympathy expressed for young Dockery, both on account of hit family and the young man himself, despite the character of the trouble, and largeiy because of his youth. The general belief that he was led ast-ay by his older and "experienced" companion. At the same time there - are many who endorse the course taken by the father of the giil as is always the case in heartrending tragedies of this kind. Gov Glenn will go to New York nsxt week where he will delivei a speech at a 4th-of-July banquet of th Tammany Society. He will re main out of the State for about ten days, during which time he will re ouperate his health by taking a muoh needed rest. During his absence Lieut-Gov Winston will be acting governor.

The State dental society will bold its 35tb anuual meeting in Ashe ville the last of this week, beginning Wednesday and ending Saturday, Julyl. : The proposition to import China men into the Sonth as a solution of the farm-labor question, which is be ing aggitated just uow in several Southern states, does uot meet with much favor here and very properly to; for it is said by those who are familiar with the habits (industrial and otherwise) of hete peculiar beathea that as a "farm hand" the "sorriest negro on earth" is to be preferred. The North Carolina de partment of agriculture, is rightly and wisely discouraging the idea of promoting the immigration of that race into this State. A gentleman here who has per sonally known ef the "yellow peril' of which the Pacific coast statue and the city of 8an Francisco especially oaoi plain, tells me that if our peo ple knew what be knows aad could tee w bat he has seen they would, en masse, flee from this proposition as and you cant convert or civilise thSIfi .,. ten toon the subject declare that. the cl ass of Japanese that is now coming to this country (the very! lowest class and who are enrnnrfto'i'il by their own government to leave S cuid-.

SpMlal Cori.Kiiiletice of Ike Cult tier. Washington, D C, June 26 1905. Teddy the first and Kaiser Bill the second, are about the only two iiess in the pod at the present writing from the .Nation's Capital. Teddy has gut the two warring iiutions to gether, and got them to ugrse to accept Washington as the place of meeting tor the peioe conference, and his work iu this direction hn ainaaed all the diplomats of the old world. Why, it was plumb easy. All he had tode was to sound the two scrappeis and get then to assent to a note fnan bun askmg them if they did nol think that it was time to go "from labor to refreshments," and then send them mich a note asking them to be good little boys in the interest of peace and humanity. They were both dead willing to quit. Snd only widted for some man to use a good, old fashioned brand of Americanism and straightforward ness without all the circumlocution of diplomacy. Teddy did thia and be won out. Un the other hand the Kaiser is raising all sorts of Cain over iu Europe, and the first thing he knows he will have strained the patience of the French nation to the breaking poiut and a world war. will be the result These two men just now are in the limelight and nue of them is being praised and the other is being cuEseu. The distinguished President of the Cuited States does some things well, and again, he does something that are humorous if the comic muse ever condescends to uu h.,,1 n.ninr;..! for humor fa contrasting the attitude ' f Mr Itoosevelt toward the provision ill ifiiveriinieuls of Panama ami of Norway. Acting Secretary Looniis, we need hardly recall, inquired so licitously about the condition of the epublic of Panama some little time before the pang ot mock revolution had brought the bantling common wealth into the world. It was on this occasion that the scholiasts ad vanced the theory that Mr Roosevelt's dominant quality was celerity. Turn ing :trom fanarna to (Jhriatiainu, these same plaudits may draw the profound inference that circum stances alter cases, and that even celerity has its good and bad days. If ever there was a de lacto govern ment, it is Norway's; she hs a parliament in session, an executi e council of ministers, an army and a navy. Mrixver, it was known some days before the resolution deposing King Oscar that sece.-ision was as good as accomplished, and devil a cablegram came from "Loom is Act ing. All ot which seems to point to a culpable negligence in the Nor wegians in failing to keep Washing ton officmlly posted as to the revolu tion schedule. Or is Mr Loorais'a hesitation due merely to a natural reluctance not to be caught again by the difference in tinier In auy case the comic muse might do worse than ponder the oases of Panama and Norway. The Interstate Commerce Com mission stilt seems to be determined to have the Congress place the private or refrigerator car lines under their jurisdiction as commen carriers, on account of the cry of the commission merchants that the charges of these oar companies are excessive. Ik-fore Congress acts the people should call to the attention of their member of the Congress the significant testi mony of a fruit grower and farmer out in Michigan who came here and testified before the benate Committee on Interstate Commerce. His uume is F S Furney, of Hart Ooeana County, Michigan, and he testified that he had 70 acres in peaches, plums and pears, and had been in the business for thirty years, and he said that in his opinion the fruit growers ohould be the oues that would say whether these rates by the Armour ur lines are exorbitant or not Said be: "If a coal min.i should come to you and say, 'Here the Armour car lines are charging an exorbitant price,' or an iron miner should come and say that, you would begin to figure around to see why he was here. Now I want to say to you that this league ot com nusstou merchants never paid one dollar of this excessive freight that they oompuua (.bout The fruit grower and the consumer paid, mostly the fruit grower, and if there is any complaiut 1 claim that the fruit grower should make it instead of these commission merchants." When he was asked by Senator Kean, of New Jersey, if he thought the car people something in the na ture of philanthropists, he said: "I think this, that there is some reason wbv the commission merchants are here. The whole thing in a nut. shell is this: When have lue Armour car service a buyer 15 or 20 Oi SO of them come to our place In the first place they look the count ry ever to see how many peachea there are, and they determine about how many cars, three or four or five hundred oars, or whatever there are, of peaches and plums they will need. Then the next move the) make is to go to the oar lines to see how they can get these peaches away. The Armour car line people say to .them that they have all the cars they want aad it they do not drop thee peaches into market in perfect order they will nar for it Then thev know what they can do and they come to ate and say tney will give me to mifch a bu.-licl for my peaches, plums or jieiirt c.'iiiivered nt the station," Thut is the point in the whole inulter of contention. When the growir sells hiB fruit direct to the buyer iu the field the commission man dues not get to bundle it. Hence the howl The remainder of MrOurney's te.itil niony covers this ground fully and will give i'. in my next lettei. This is the liut time since I have been a correspondent at the National Capital that the fruit grower, the farmer, the man out in the field bo hind the hoe ami the plow has had an inning before one of the commit tees of either the House or Senate It so seldom occurs that it ia refresh ing and their testimony deserves the widest publicity. 1 hey are tne men on whom all thn taxation falls and all the burdeus of government, and the middle mini is the man who eats it all up and who are always here hammering awav before Congress tryiug to get more or mash the farmer into the ground with a maul. The grower aud,the shipper are entitled to a hearing tor once and 1 for one be lieve in giving him the chance to talk to the law maker at home as well as before the Senate Committee. When a mun whose forte is reso luteness begins to explain why he may not do something upon which his heart is set the neighbors know what to think. And while the statements thut the plan for un ex tra session of Congress has been abandoned do not come directly from the. President, they suggest it heap of thinking I'long well-established Rooseveltism lines. Already, to conciliate Congress, he has post poned the extra session to cold weather. Mow it occurs to htm that. three weeks is an inadequate time for so great a mutter. Iu other pur lance, what he did before to oblige, he does again because he must. . In this way two bites ran be made at lne .? u'Vy, , P"- " ,s possible to U-lieve that the President j3 f ke('n H! yer to x railroac rates, hut we idiall doubtless continue to enjoy the spectacle of a Chief Magis trate iudouiitubly set upoii curbing the railroads whenever nobodv objects. The true inwardness of this whole contention tor railroad rate regulation is that it is a scheme of the 'stand pat" Republicans and they are using the Democrats of the House to pull their chestnuts out ot the fire. They are fixing things to impose further direct taxation ou the people by the next Congress as a means of not only supplying the deficit in the government reveiiuos, but of continuing to the trusts their enormous profits through absurdly high protective taritts. That is the purpose of the "stand-put" schemers. The tariff-fattened millionaires have killed of the income tax effoctuully. They are now trying to stave of tariff revision by howling for railway rate regulation. Their agents are aotive at all points where railway discrim inations, rcut or imagined, are talked of. They are stirring up this agita tion in order to save the protected infaut industries their enormous profits. They have pitched on the common people and the railroads s their victims to accomplish this end. Internal revenue taxes on coffee, tea, beer and other necessaries is to be the "cummou people's" share of the governmental burden. Reduced earnings by governmental control of rates is to be the railroads contubu tiou as a sop for the "common peo ple," if their plan curries, while the protected trusts make their gains greater and greater. That is the trust program tor the next session of Congress as arranged in Wall Street, "bouk the railroads and the common herd" is their slogan. "ViK have Rooclt all right," said one of the chief beneficiaries of the tariff the other day, after a secret meeting in a ' Wall Street office. "Teddy5, demand for railway rate regulation, is the cat 8 paw that 8 pulling our chestnuts out of the fire. As long as we can keep him going oh that tack wo ueedu t worry about any tariff revision. Congress will be stirred up against that rate regulation problem and there won t be any time to fool with the tariff. Then our men will pull for au internal revenue uix io aupjny mc ueuuiu in pretty program and the Democrats will help us along in it" When it was suggested to him that the rail road men would not stand for their program, he said: "What can tbey do? Our meu ar stirring up things so as to get every body against them. We are creating adverse opinion wherever we tun, and rely on th President to help us out. It's om agents instead of the people who ai howling for railw ay rate regulation.'' This is authentic and comes as straight as an arrow from the inner circles of the "stand pat Keimbli caus. The people oan a whai chance tbey have with a Republican Congress aud a Kcpublican adminis tration that wavers whenever the leaders snap their fingers. CHARLES A EDWARDS.
