The Asneboro Courier PRICE ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Wm, C. HAMMER, Editor. FREIGHT DISCRIMINATION. The Chariots News one of the conservative payers of the State and cne not entirely in accord with receot railroad legislation, has the following in an editorial referring to the high freight rates iu North Carolina the News says: "Just how long this accursed system of legalized robbery will last rests with the people. As the matter stands, North Caroli na must pay rates far in excess of those charged in Virginia, on shipments cf eiual bulk and for tqual distances. Asa result we pay out daily vast sums under "this system of railroad robbery. "In different towns of the state, Winston, Durham, Charlotte etc., the merchants have come together a-.'.d perfected organ i.;ation for the purpose of break ing up this game of unfair dis crim'natior.. "Thesi; organizations should be increased ::: number and en thusiasm, for until the eutire public of the state becoaies aroused to that point where they decMe oppression must cease, the people of the state will contiure to light their busi lcss batties with other states against abounding odd.--, and will contir.re to be the victims of this tyranny which is noth ing short of robbery." The people are at "last realizing the discritr.'.r.ation against 'North Carolina ai:u are expressing them selves in r.o uncertain tones. The business mer. of Asheboro will no doubt rtt i- 'i--e bPl-lAKKi: CANNON'S sri;. 1'IUSK. Speaker Cauuou was astonished and surpised at the fact that a civ ilized and intelligent people lived in : North Carolina. In education, re finement and business (pialitications they compared favorably with the ptODle north of the Ohio river. Mi- Cannon says- It was pleasant to get back to the native heath and it was inspiring to see how well the old state is striding along in the path of prosperity .Why, sir, if I could have been landed in Greens boro blind-folded, without knowing what direction I had taken, I would have thought myself iu some live, hustling, ell built city of Illinois or 01 10. Here is a southern town that is as redolent of the modern spirit of activity and industrial growth as anything we have north of the Ohio river. The question of cross-ties is be coming a serious question. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has tplanned to plant twenty thousand i acres in tiees for cross-ties. More ' than a million trees will be set out and it is calculated that it will be " forty years before the trees will be large enough for use. The Pennsyl vania road alone uses nearly six ; million ties a year. The trackage of the Pennsylvania is ten thousand Bailee- The trackage of all the to&Hi of the country are three hun dred thousand miles. The question is asked how i3 this vast amount of timber to be sec"red for cross-tie? Iron or steel ties have proved to be unsatisfactory. What is to be don e about providing for these ties is a serious question. Never before have the people been so aroused on education in this state. Elections have been held this spring, beyond the mountains, in the Pied mont section and away down East, and everywhere more money has been voted for schoo1s. Not a week but that two or three Bpaciil tax elections are heard of, and there is enthusiasm everywhere for better schools. The good work is going on and the children of the present and the future generations are being provided with superior educational advantages. There is every inducement for 8tockraising in this section. Nearly every farmer has surplus land ly ing out which could be converted into pasture. There are branches on every farm and the country is well watered. The cost of raising cattle is very little as there are few months in the year that it is neces sary to provide dry feed for cattle, There la plenty of laal in this sec tion which can be purchase I at a low price for pasture.

There : are new hotels in m ist of the towns and new and i-!d are cowdel. Several of the Southern States have commissioners of immigration in Europe seeking men. Emigra tion has stopped, and you may read in the newspapers of the Northwest advertisements for farmers to go South, where fertile landi an d good markets await them. A young man who inherited a farm in Georgia left it ten years igo and went to Atlanta, thence to New York. After a few years of sue cessful work in New York, he went back to Atlanta; and now after successful work in Atlanti, he is going to return to the farm. Ile has made f very one of these moves along the line of greatest profit. The newspapers a e prosperous; fine schoolhouses are replacing old and smaller ones. Thousands of farmers who nsed to be in debt now have cash in banks that did not exist five vears ago. The people art cheerful and they look at life from a new angle. The South has worked out three fundamental tasks which all the world may profit by: (1) How fo teach the farmer who is now on the lane, to double his crop. (2) How to teich boys and girls practical trades while they are "get ting their education;" (3) How to govern cities without politics and without graft. Most of the old notions about the South and the Southern people that have been held in the North must now be revised; for every-day events contradict the conclusions that were drawn from facts of the past.

The Democracy, Says Mr. Simmons Will March More Solidly Than Here toforeHe Predicts the Triumph of the Party on the Issues Named at the Xext Election. Washington, D. C, May 27. "Who, if not Brvan, will be the nominee of the Democratic party next year is the question that is now being most frequently asked in the ranks of the party," said Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, today. As one of the leadets of the party in the south, the senator is a good judge of present tendencies of opin ion among Denocrats. He is here to attend to some business for his contituency. "The impression seems to be gen eral that Mr. Bryan will be the nominee," continued Mr. Simmous. In fact it is a foregone conclusion that he will be. Nevertheless th's is a question of who would be the the nominee, should Mr. Bryan for any reason not be available, is being agitated. Governor Folk is no longer considered very seriously as candidate. He failed to get either the state of Missouri or the country on fire during his term as chief executive. A month or so ago the name of JuJson Harmon, of Ohio, was suggested, but it did not meet with any universal response, though it is adm.tted that he is a very able lawyer." At the facetious sugg 'Stion of the same of Judge Parker, a pained ex- i pression came over the face of the! Senator. He said he had not heard any one speak of the sage of Esopus as a possible candidate. "No," he went on. "Mr. Brvan will lead the forces tf the dem ocratic party, which will be mo:e united than for a long time, while the ranks of the republicans will be dividetl among stand-patters and revisionists, conservatives and radi cals. The main issue of the cam paign, in my oninion, will be revision of the tariff. The protective tariff, has fostered monopoly and height ened the cost cf living. Even the Manufacturers' Association is pro testing against it. Because every man ha3 to pay so much more for what he gets than he formerly did, the issue would be an immensely popular one. Subsidiary to it will probably be the issues of federal control of the trusts, railroads, and corporations generally. The repub licans believe trusts and monopolies should be fined. The democrats believe they should be destroyed. The republicans favor a revision of orders of the interstate commerce commission by the courts. The democrats want more absoluts power to fix rates given to the com mission. "On these issues I believe the dem ocratic party will win. None thinks of foisting upon the party such issues as government ownership of railroads and the initiative and referendum. They may come in the future but not now. They will not be incorporated in the next democratic platform." To Remove Paint From Muslin. Soak the spats in a strong solution of soda and water for twenty-four hour?. At the end of this time the paint will often buve disappeared, but If it has not, wet themitterial in turpentine and lay in the sun for several hours. Wet again and repeat this iiHtil every trace of the paint is re moved. Green paint seems especially hard to remove, but "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again," as I did when my daughter, in a fresh white dress, ran against a newly painted cret a door, and hnd entiresuccess, this sounds as If 1 meant she had success in coveting herself with paint, which she did, but the crowning success was mine iu removing the paint by us ing the above process.
