ed very llttla of the raw cotton pro
duced. but bought goods made by New
England mills which have to haul their
cotton to the mill and their goods back
to the consumer, thus Increasing costs.
Very little timber was worked up into
fine goods, the bulk being sent out in
the rought at low prices to be manu
factured elsewhere and sold at high
prices.
But times have changed. We are
l>eginning to appreciate the tremen
dous advantage offered of proximity to
the raw material, and rapidly our peo
ple are engaging In various lines of
manufacture.
The report of the government Is
giatifying, and only goes to prove
what can be done when our people
make up their minds to accomplish re
sults in the mantifacturing business.
Mr. 1.A Follette's speech on reciproc
ity consisted principally of abuse for
President Taft. Since this noted in
surgent has presidential aspirations
it would have looked better if he had
kept personal animus out of his debate.
And now Attorney General Wicker-
sham is to be called upon to tell how
it happened. The Roosevelt and Taft
cabinets have offeied u rich field for
invei^tigation.
Congress wants to know who is be

will be located on the firing line.

The record made by Raleigh of 119

that growth the two dally papers of

ynrt For years Raleigh moped along
at a lack lustre pace, but trxlay she Is
wide awake and hustling, looking
about for new* enterprises, and con-
f'antly making efforts to attract cap
ital.
^ The same Is true in otir own city,
and whi’c this ret^jrd Is a good one
there is no reason why it should not be
outstripped next year. With ample
railroad facilities, with an interurban
Fvstem as-ured which will bring a

ever known here, located at the very
door of inf xhaus-tible supplies of tim

If no reason w’hy dozens of new enter
prises may not be attracted to our city
during the coming decade. This can
be done when our business men set
their heads togetjier with that aim in
view Greenville S. C., has secured
enterprises during the past few months
which represent a combined capitaliza
tion of over six millions of dollars.
W^hat Greenville has done Charlotte
can also do.

to the larger cities, It may be remem
bered that the ansaller North Carolina
towns are also flourishing and spread

Statesville, Concord, Gaatonla, Hick

at a rapid gait, and each is becoming
an important manufacturing center.
Perhaps you can remember the day
when North Carolina did very little

Lands for a Multitude.
Senator Tillman, speaking at a
meeting held at the Clemson College
K.xperiniental station, near Summ-ir-
\llle_ S. C.. la.s' Saturday, said:
How many acres there are in thi-i
section undeveloped I do not know. 1
heard yesterday that it was two mil
lions. I had thought It was between
three and five millions. We have a
surr (»f dead man s country here 1)>
t\'.een the up-country and the low-
country. and It Is no man's land ex
cept Mister Nigger and the terrapins
and the crawfish. I have had a lit
tle observation in Europe and I know’
from reading that Holland is a much
wetter country than this. They have
the rivers above the land they nre
cultivating. B\it they have diked the
rivers and they have put the wind
to work to draining and they make
enormous crops.
“We have here a problem which
should enli.st the active support of
every true Suuth ('arolinian, and that
is to have this country develoi>ed to
tlie fullest degree."
What the senator said of that sec
tion of South Carolina—they call it
the low coimtry—may be surprising:
but it’s tnie. There are millions and
millions of acres of absolutely wasted
lands over there- worthless in it.s
present state, still lands that could
be made among the most valuable in
the entire state, l^ands which, if pr:,p-
eriy drained and cleared, v.ould yield
by the nature of the soil as almost
no others will; even su{>erlor. as a
matter of fact, to those lands in Hol
land to which the senator makes ref
erence where the thrifty- enterprising
Dutch are profitably tilling the soil
below the level of the rivers and maK-
ing the (Jod-giyen free breezes and
man-built dikes keep the water off
their crops.
What tiie senator has drawn in the
shai>e of a comparison between lower
South C'arolina and Holland can just
as well be applied to a vast territory
ill the state of CJeorgia; and, yet, if
the statement should be made to the
people of either state that thoi^e Hol
landers are any more progressive than
we are, it would be warmly denied.
But it certainly seems that they are.—

Blue and Gray to Meet.
If present plans are carried to a suc-
cesBftjl conclusion a notable event will
be pulled off in celebration of the 50th
anniversary of the first battle of Bull
Run on the old f.eld of conquest July
21. On that day surviving Confederate
and I’nlon soldiers are to meet In
joint conclave and together feast upon
delectable viands prepared for the oc-
slon. Tis said that neither the wear
ers of the Blue or the Gray need have
any hesitancy in attending this love
feast or partaking of the good things
to be presented by the noble women
who sympathized with either side in
the late unpleasantness. All will be
welcome.
The purpose of this Bull Run cele
bration is said to be “to emphasize re
conciliation rather than strife, the
triumph of brotherhood rather than
the winning of a military victory.” It
is well. And Bull Run seems an ap
propriate spot upon which the Blue
and the Gray may further plight their
affections for one another as patriotic
American citizens and resolve to for
get past differences. Both sides won
laurels at the battle of Bull Run and
neither need feel ashamed to meet the
other on that memorable field of a
former ccnquest in the spirit of “for
giveness and forgetfulness.” All
should now be willing to “let by gones,
be by-gones.”—French Broad Hustler!
Dr. Wlley'« “Crime.”
Attorney General Wlckersham’s
recommendation to the president that
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, head of the
bureau of chemislry In the agricul
tural department, "be permitted to re
sign the position which he now
holds,’’ possibly marks the passing
of a public official who, for nearly
30 years, has served the American
people with superlative energy and
efflciency. The sellers of rotten meats,
of cold-storage eggs, of poisonous
candies, of doped soothing syrups, of
fraudulent cancer cures—all these
unspeakable scoundreU will b« glad
to Bee him go, for he haa made war
upon them early and late. In season
and out of season, and that war of
his has cost them millions. If, at any
time during the last doien years, they
could have procured his dismissal by
putting down $1,000,000 in cash, the
money would have been raised with
in 24 hours, and every contributor
would have given thanks to a merci
ful Providence for the chance to con
tribute.
The charge against Dr. Wiley, it
appears, is that he conspired to give
an “excessive and illegal” compensa
tion of Dr. H. H. Rusby, a distin
guished pharmacologist and his right-
hand man in his battle with the pat
ent medicine sharks. But what are
the facts? They are simple enough.
Dr. Rusby is a scientist of grreat at
tainments, and as &uch he commands
a liberal compensation for his serv-
ives. The fee he demands from pri
vate clients, when he is called upon
to giv^ expert testimony in the courts
is $100 a day.-But when Dr. Wiley en-
gaged him to testify for the govern-
n?ent against the food and drug so-
phisticators, he agreed to wori: for
half that fee. or $50, and to make a
further reduction to $20 a day for
laboratory work, as opposed to ap
pearances in court. These fees, con-
siderinj; Dr. Rusby's skill and stand
ing, were very modest.
Hut after he had been serving
awhile and patent medicine sharks
had begun to stiffer severely from his
on-^;Mu.a:htr. congress suddenh passed
a ni.vsterious bill limiting the com
pensation of all experts employed by
the government to $3,500 a year, with
an advance after a certain term of
service to $4,000. Let us not inquire
too eagerly as to the origin of this
bill: suffice it to say that it became a
law by the votes of "experts’’ in
statesnianshii), who, at about the
same time, raised their own compen
sation to $7,500. Dr. Wiley was now
confronted with the danger of los
ing Dr. Rusby’s services altogether,
for the latter could not. In justice to
himself, work for the per diem com
pensation fixed by the act. What 10
do? The problem was solved by put
ting Dr. Rusby on the pay roll at $1,-
fiOO a year and by permitting him to
call 100 days a year's work. It was
s-pecifically agreed that, in case he
worked le.ss than 100 days, he was to
suffer a pro rata reduction of sal
ary.
A technical violation of the law'?
Of course it was. But actually the
government suffered no loss what-
e\ er. for it got a full $20 worth of
value for every day that Dr. Rusby
worked. He knew more about the
things he was called upon to deal
w-.ih ihan any other man in the
county; be was tbe main reliance of
the bureau in it.^ conflict with viola
tors of the pure food and drugs act.
At $20 a day he w^as much cheaper
than any other man at $10 a day.
No other can could quite take his
place, for no other man had specializ
ed in adulterations as he had done.
But suddenly it was discovered that It
was unlawful to pay him more than
$9 a day—and then entered the vir
tuous Wickersham, that erstwhile de
fender of Ballinger, and Dr. Rusby’s
salary was held up, and his dismissal
was recommended, and Dr.-Wiley now-
stands accused of high crimes and
misdemeanors.
The people of the United States, w'e
believe, will show no disposition to
condemn Dr. Wiley out of hand. Con
fronted w'ith the baleful results of
patent medicine lobbying in congress
he tried to conserve the efficiency of
his bureau by a technical violation
of the law, from which, of course, he
derived no personal benefit whatever.
Against that awful offense let us set
his long and invaluable services, his
relentless war upon frauds, his her
culean effort to get an honest pure
food law on the statute books-. And
let us not forget the character of
his enemies—rascals who prey upon
the sick and despairing, poisoners of
little children, sellers of filth. Is it
quite clear, indeed, in the present
caf-e that such vampires are not be
hind the attack upon him?—Evening
Times.
