A ShameleM ConfcMion.
An amazing admission Is that of
the attorney general of the United
States of Representative Aiken, oI
South Carolina. He admits that he
is armed to the teeth with knowledge
to combat an effort to raise prices
in this country, yet “he frankly con
fesses that he does not understand
the working of a ‘bear pool, or h
such a combination could operate m

from an Associated Press dispatch

A sum was provided for the ‘ in-

been the general feeling of the hu

Mason and Dixon’s line was worth
saving, and should really be saved

ing observations may not be amiss.
It is rather strange that the members
of the “Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People” managed to
overlook the iniquities of Gotham in
their salvation crusade. A few lyncQ-
ings occur m the South and botn
races deplore them—that is the bet
ter class of both races. But in New
York crimes of similar depravity are
daily incidents. Here is a lot of pur
blind sectional reformers prodding
the South about its lynching record,
while in the city of New \ork
crimes far more cowardly, are com
mitted dally under their very noses.
Scarcely a day passes Jhat some
black hand outrage is not reported.
Scarcely a day passes that some un-
i rotected woman is not set upon by
ruffians and beaten or killed. The
criminal record of New York has
reached such an appalling stage, hein
ous crimes have been so frequent,
that the best element of the city has
become aroused, and yet the mem
bers of the “ABSociation for the Ad
vancement of Colored People” fail to
detect vies outside of Dixie.
To show the temper, or rather ttie
distemper, of the leaders of this
0outh saving movement, we quote
this extract from a speech deliver
ed at last night's meeting by Rev
Dr, John Hays Holmes, a dignitary
of the church who evidently has

A Great Discovery.
Some intimation of what the tariff
board is up to comes in the Washing
ton news of the day. It has been busy
finding that the middleman and not the
tariff is chiefly-responsible for the high
cast of living. The president is said
•to be convinced and will treat of it in
a special message.
This is impressive. There are no
manufacturing trusts organized to take
advantage of high tariff protection.
There is no inflated capital In protect
ed production working out high divi
dends from higli prices. There are no
high tariff taxes effective for increased
cost in production.
No: It is the millions of distributers
in industry where competition is moat
intense who make the great difference
between consumers’ prices here and
abroad. How well worth permanency
such a finding should prove the tariff
board to be must be evident to all.—N.

“The time has come when anoth

fought over again.”
What do you think of that—de

Such reformers as these are • the
ones who really Injure the cause they
are endeavoring to aid.
The South would welcome any
agency which would effect a curtail

from the tone of the speech quoted

a bear pool had deliberately depress
ed prtces on the New York cotton ex

thus robbing the Southern Producer
of an amount approximating ?105,00u,-

against thife crew of gamblers, asked
the congressman, ascertain at least
if it were not as much in restraint
of trade as the effort to lift prices,
and save scattered fragments or
their profits to Southern cotton
farmeis? ,
And the attorney general blandly
replies that he has no knowledge of
siich a combination, that he has not
even studied the price-depressing
side of the market sufficiently to
know whether the reputed plot does
not contravene the law.
In other words, the department oi
justice admits that it sees but one
side uf its job—that of proceeding
against tempts to maintain prices,
of to prevent their reaching lower
lovcls. Of the other—equally as im-
l>ortanc, 1h:,it of safeguarding ^he in-
tire&tfa cf producers against atJecula-

doubt it regards that feature as of so
trivial importance as not even to
The attorney general, inevitably,
convicts himself of one of two things:
of being a bull In a china shop, ignor

office, incompetent to discharge
them’ or of possessing such ineradi

SOUTHERN MEDICAL
AsSaCIATION MEET.
By Associated Press.
Hattiesburg, Miss., Nov. 16.—The an
nual convention of the Southern Medi
cal Association will come to a close
this afternoon with the selection of
ofiicers and the place of next year’s
meeting.
At the morning seslion an address
was delivered by Dr. Charles A. Moh.
of Mobile, on “Sanitation in Southern
^ _ Cities,” and Capt. Charles F. Craig, U.
and the department had not turned ;g Qf Washington, read a paper on

(From Durham Sun.)
There are somel arge and import
ant railroad developments under w'ay
in the vicinity of Durham. Just what
then ature of these developments is
and the final outcome of the activi
ties will be is know nonly by those
in the inner circle of railroad invest-
tors and promoters. Things are hap
pening so rapidly and there is such
a mixup of irtcrests that it is im
possible to get any definite line on
what it all really means.
It was announced in the Sun Mon
day evening that the Durham &
Charlotte Railway was sold. No defi
nite information as to the railroad
connection of the interests w^ho took
over this property has been obtain
able, but it is considered almost a
certainty that it was the Seaboard
Interests. This being true, it can be
readily inferred that the Seaboard
intends to use the Durham and Char
lotte line as a part of the main line
which thee ompany intends to es
tablish through Durham from Hender
son. The Durham & Charlotte ex
tends from Gulf, a small station on
the Yadkin & Cape Fear branch of
the Southern to Troy. This road owns
a right of way to Durham from Guir
and also owns the old Summerville
property in the southern section of
thee ity on which to establish a sta
tion. It can readily be seen that this
property would be very desirable to
the Seaboard in extending its lines
south of Durham.
Raleigh and Southport Sold.
Hard on the information of the
sale of the Durham and Charlotte
comes the Information that the Ral
eigh & Southport, extending from
Raleigh to Fayetteville, was sold Sat
urday. The exact identification ot
the interests that have acquired this
property has also not been deter
mined. but it Is generally believed
that it is the Norfolk & Western
interests. It Is believed that the Ncr-
To protect this precious crowd, it
can dig, delve, find legal grounds and
evidence. To protect the producer
it can find noiuijigl It is a flagrant, a
strange tidm«stolon, to come from a
department assumed to enforce, im
partially, tue laws of this country.
Coupled with the report that some
of its high officials previously sus
tained important connections with
the New York* cotton exchange, it
points the imperative duty of con
gress to probe! The shamelessness
of the thing is non-partisan.
If the department of justice is go
ing to abandon the American produc

South Carolina’s Governor.
This official has not added to his
offenses against public decency and
order by openly commending mob
Ivnching of a negro.
He advocated “public executions
of such offenders in his inaugural 1
message, and this is evidently a case
in point. He refused to interfere with
the lynching of the negro Willis
Jackson a month ago, when the mob
was led by a member of the legis
lature.
When he became Governor he
voided the commissions of all no
taries public in order to get rid ofi
a few negro notaries. He has oppos-|
ed the taxation of whites in help
of negro education. In defiance ot [
law he refused to appoint special
judges on recommendation of Chiet
Justice Jones. At odd moments he
would revise the school books to suit
his views of South Carolina history
and offer to whip or kill all offend
ing editors.
This is less a case for the gentle
recall than for a.n old-fashioned im
peachment, and such action is taking
shape. It does not matter, of course,
how many editors Governor Blease
talks of killing, but his open cham
pionship of lawlessness in others
must be looked after if the dignity of
the state is to be maintalned.--New

CHARLOTTE LEADS THE STATE.
According to a report just Issued,
Charlotte made a better record in
manufacture and products than any
other city of the state.
The report is Interesting:
“Charlotte made a larger per cent
of increase in value of manufactured
piquets and for the number of men
employed from 1904 to 1909 than any
oth«r city of 10.0000 or over in state.
While Wlneton-Salem employs more
m«n and shows a larger value for
her products, the percentage of in
crease for the Queen City is much
larger than that shown for Winston.
**In 1904 the total value of manu-
faetured products in Charlotte was
$4,860,000 and in 1909 it had increas
ed to $10,460,000, while the number
of employes increased from 2,234 to
4,199. Winston’s industries increased
from $11,3^8,000 in 1904 to I16.778,-
000 In 1909, while the number of em
ployes went from 4,850 to 6,718.
