CRITICISM WITHOUT INFORMATION
It is pure, unadulterated igno
rance with us, that we can
not determine whether or not
Gen. Otis should be . superseded.
"We have too much of a sense of
fairness o engage in popular
censu tMill we think, at least,
that weknow whereof we speak.
"While not always agreeing
with the Biblical Recorder, we
think the following right well
put:
"If there were means of put-1
ting the authors of the out-cry
" against General Otis in his place,
"they would get the benefit of an
experience inat woum teacn
them to be silent when they are
ignorant, and tnougn me cost
would be great, one such ex-
periment by any country would

are sure we do not know any-
thing about conducting a war,
and we are willing that soldiers
attend to that. Every man to
his trade, and he that has none

a little time to conducting news
papers, especially if the editors
are nan iaiiures at tneir own
business. We have followed the
course of events in the Phil-.
inoines since Dewev dronned an-
chor off. Manila, and we believe
that General Otis has done as
well as anv other of our soldiers
could. To be sure, we may have
some Alexanders in newspaper
offices, even in Raleigh, but we

has much to contend with. He
has a tremendous task. He has

of a father who chastises a son.

RAILROADS FOR MT. PLEASANT.
The Manufacturers' Record for
October 20th, says that Messrs.
A C Wilcox & Co., 332 Drexel
Building, Philadelphia, are pre
paring to float -bonds to extend
the Moore County and Western
Railroad from its present termi
nus to Concord. The extension
will be seventy miles in length
and the bonds will represent
$15,000 per mile.
The same issue cjf the Record
says, "The people in Cabarrus
and Rowan counties have made
a proposition to the' Southern
Railway Co. to give the right of
way and grade for a branch line
between Gold Hill and Mount
Pleasant if the railroad company
will lay the track. The line will
be about nine miles in length
when built."
It will be seen from this - that
Mt. Pleasant has two roads in
fair prospective grasp, for it has
always been understood that the
Moore County and Western will
run a branch-track to Mt. Pleas
ant. t
The necessity for a railroad to
Mt. Pleasant is growing more
apparent since it is to be well in
the line, of manufacturing towns.
Let both roads come. Even as
we write, we see teams loaded
with cotton to supply the Kindley
mill, and soon there will bean
other mill there.

A Wilmington dispatch of the

stx'olling with a group of chil
dren. At the bank of a mill pond
some miles from the city, she
dropped her jpurse and returning
from a little way off was sepa
rat 3d from the children. They
heard a splash, and found the
lady drowning in 15 feet of wa
ter. It will never be known how
the sad affair occurred. She was
very much beloved.
