Eastern Poverty.
Tbc people living in Eastern
North Carolina are unable to ap
preciate the wealth of their soil and
climate. Recently in conversation
with two manufacturers from tbc
Central part of the State, we gain
the idea that while their section
was making the progress, the East
was undoubtedly the farming sec
tion. They said if we had the la
bor it would be the best section in
the world. They said liastern
Carolina could do as well manu
facturing besides it had a soil that
would grow a great variety of
,
crops.
We thought of the statement
"if you had the labor what a coun
try you would have." The trou
ble we think is not in not having
the labor, but having it and be
ing wholly unable to use it. Whilt
this article is being written at ten
o'clock in the morning seventeen
hardy strong idle drrkies are amus
ing themselves with boxing glove
and they are keeping more IIOIM
than a hundred lost ganders. Wi
have had something to say about
this before tor we verily believe
our labor system is pauperizing us
These people should lie forced t>
work or to leave the country, livery
one who is allowed to IK* idle is an
inducement to another or a dozen
to lay aside his honest toil ami
take it easy. We have never been
able to make a living without work
and while an editor and no fortune,
but a little something to our credit
we can see uo means of making
living without stealing or gambling
or living off the labor of some
other person. Then it is a cast
either labor or live off the labor ol
some other or steal. Most of tin
negro women have gotten to goou
to cook for our mothers sisters ami
and wives or doing any laundr>
work without demanding that you
practically give them the value ol
your clothes. These are returned
as they see tit to fix them aud you
dare not complain or you are en
tirely without help.
Such conditions are practically
reducing us to pauperism and out
country to waste. The cliangi
must be made or we are forced t
submit to a defensive, weaknes. 1 -
which means stagnation to out
business aud social progress.
Your writer believes, that wt
should give negroes only an industri
al training, enforce the vagrant act
and either work idlers or drive tin
nuisance out of our presence.
Then labor will be dignified, pec
pie will have what thev earn, then
will be uo parasites that sap tin
life of honest toil, use modern con
veniences and machinery and veri
ly make us industrious progressive
people and eastern Carolina th
section of the .State fhat it slioul
be.
It is wrong that one class of pco
pie, who are frugal and industriou.-
should be taxed to educate a peo
pie when every educated one am
idler is a bane to the prosperity
and progress of that class. y\\\
are merely whetting razors to cn
our own throats and by the eterfial
laws of justice it is wrong. As ;
man we would not do damage to i
weak race but that race is uo lonj.
er weak. It is the most potent
influence for poverty, low n.orals,
social derangements known. It
has caused more blood to be shed
than any other influence in -the
history of the wit Id. There are
good darkies and some useful ones
and no man would help them more
than your writer, but we are after
the lazy idlers, who are too good
to work. We are not willing that
o ir race be made the slave and we
be pauperized and our country go to
waste because of this labor system.
Let us then enforce the vagrant
act!

is often caused by sores, ulcers and
cancers, that eat away your skin.
Wts. Bedell, of Flat Rock, Mich.,
says: "1 have used Bucklen's
Arnica Salve, for Ulcers, Sores and
Cancers. It is the best healing
dressing I ever found." Soothes

Why PcacT wiiTbe Wade.
It is almost inconceivable that
Japan and Russia should abandon
their efforts to make peace and re
sume the useless carnage in Man
cliuria. Instead of peace prospects
l>eiiig dimmer with the tightening
of the lines in the final tug of di
plomacy, we believe they are bright
er. There is no problem in the
situation that is insoluble. The
material for dickering are plentiful
and the envoys are free to give and
take. History is full of cases in
which sterner demands have been
made more stubborn opposition eu
countered, with the result that
|>eace has followed full and fret
conferences.
The appearance of President
Roosevelt in the negotiations is
another hopeful sign. It is true
probably, that he waited until the
envoys encountered a real obstacli
before exerting his influence, but
this was to In: expected. It would
have been better for all concerned
if the envoys had reached a quick
aud cordial agiecment, hut uo OIK
exiiected such au outcome. The
president vave them every oppor
tunity to confer aud agree if possi
ble, he is exerting the influence of
this government UJIOII the sover
eigns of Japan and Russia in a di
rect effort to pierce the dead wall.
It is to be taken for granted that
tlie-president is in close communi
cation with the chief jiowers, and
thai when lie urges the envoys
to come to terms he sjieaks with
the authority of practically tin
whole world. Doubtless lie ha:,
exchanged ideas with the rulers
tud foreign ministers of the great
powers, thereby obtaining the most
practical suggestions and wisest va
riety of means for reaching au un
ierstauding. The resources of di
plomacy are limitless in such a sit
.lutiou.
The envoys-will not lack for in
jenious'expedient iu arriving at a
largaiti that will In? acceptable, if
lot entirely satisfactory, to both
tations.
This being the situation, a peace
.reaty ought to be concluded. We
lelieve it will be concluded, for the
idditional important reason that
neither Japan nor Russia care to
ight longer. Japan lias accotn
ilished what she set out to do.
She has borrowed money easily 011
lie strength of her but
f peace is not concluded at I'orts
nouth, Japan will find it exceed
ugly difficult to borrow any more,
ihe is now at the height of her
;lory and she keenly realizes that
leace is her greatest need, with
vhiclt to utilize the fruits of tvnjft
As for Russia, her credit is al
"eady exhausted, and continued
var would work internal confu
iion to a degree that might reach
evolution. With peace even dear
y bought, she can knit up the
aveled threads, take up her
nonstrous burden and turn toward
he light. The czar's concession
0 the |>cople is a shadow that fore
ells the coming of real reforms.
These will lie hastened by |>eace
md retarded by the war. Russian
itatcsmun must in the exercise of
ordinary reason strongly desire
1 leace.
Under these circumstances we
.'xpect to see, within a reasonable"
time a treaty that will benefit both
Russia and Japan. Washington
