Mr. Kohn at lb· Mew· and Caoriar Tklnka Thai ha May ba Elected. But it U No Easv Natlar I· Forecast the Out Ma· of a New York Election. Columbia, Octobct 7.—Spec ial: The race for Governor in New York ia assuming national proportions and the outcome i» being watched all over the country. New York is all ex citement over the race. After having spent α week or more in New York city and having beard politics on all sides 1 would not care to venture very much of au opinion on the result. 1 think it is much easier to foretell a primary in South Carolina; it certaiuly has been easier to fore tell the results of the last few primaries in this State. When Mr. Hearst was nominated, the opinion was that be would be ceruin of defeat. Λ few days ago it looked as if be would be defeated acid that belief was general, particularly in the bet ter classes. There is, however, a very grave fear on the part of tho*e who ατέ talking loudest that the wish is father to the thought. The conditions in New York are very much the same as all of us bave seen much nearer home than New York. Huilt'f llr«BI>ih anrl Vt»«r«l '· possible election bin (re on the ubkiI that exists ill New York, and for tbat matter all over tbe country. Hearst stands lot the poor claues. or at .least tbat is wlflt they think. Whether it be • (act tbat Mr. Hearst is at heart tbe friend of tne laboring man, tbe plodder, tbe man with no bank account, the inau who bas to work day in and day out, and wbo is disgruntled became be aces so many evidences of wealth tbat he does not possess, that class is supposed to be his mainstay. The fact that tbe richer classe·, the bankers, the lawyers, tbe property owners are general ly for Mr. Hughe· baa made the line all the deeper and bas made the laboring man all the more intent on electing Mr. Hearst. Mr. Hearst may win; if he wins it will be like a Bryan vic tory. The moneyed interest· will be generally against him. Whether tbe corporate in terests are really afraid of Mr. Hearst or not is not so tnncb the question, ai i· the impres sion that they are going to put np a good big barrel to insure the defeat of Mr. Hearst. Mr/ Hearst, an tbe other hand, is not counting on corporate finan cial support, but tbe talk in New York is tbat he i· quite willing to pull np a good big barrel of money himself— and be ha· plenty—and that hi· campaign will not rafter be cause of the lack of a campaign fund. It i> entirely reasonable to ■oppose that the corporation* interested in Mr. Hughes's elec tion will be able to put np all the funds nacesaary, and money ia freely uaed io a New York election. All of tbe New York newxuv pet* are agalua t Hearat, wiib tbe exception o( tbe Journal, which be onns, aud an afur noon p«pcr, the New·, which I* owned by Murphy, who ia re sponsible for the Hearst nomina tion. Tbe N«w York Herald, tbe Sua, the Times, the World, the Tribune, tbe Globe, th· Brook lyn paper* arc all a*ainst Hearst aod mtbofiaiticalljr lor HoRhea. Mr. Hear·· hM only the sup port of hi· own motning and af ternoon papera, and the News, ar.d on that account hie aide ol tbe fvht U bavin* a hard time to get before lb· people he waats to reach, m the tax-paying clas·· cm and the mug wump Demo crat*. who are backing, do not read bia papers. The Democrats in New York are different from what we have down thia way. They do not support the nominee o( their party if they do not like hint or his platform. Democrat· from the South who have been voting the Democratic ticket all their lives told ine that they could not stand Hearst and wonld not vote for him. Id the flection two years ngo, they said they did not vote at all, but this year tbev say they will vote openly against Hearst. Yon can find very lew people in New York whe do not tbiok that Hearst waa elected mayor in the recent election. They openly sav that McClellan and his friends took the office bnt that Hearst woo it. It may be well enough for folks to laugh at Mr. Hearst or to enss biin, bnt he has an immense following in New York. The laboring classes swear by him. You can hear his praises sung on all sides and it wonld not surprise me in the least to see him elect ed, and if be is defeated it will be largely because of the ter rific fight that the combined newspapers are making on him and the money that will be flooded into tbe campaign. Tkt Women·' Memorial. A*1mti1)c GoHit-Nm. Tbc form of the raemoml to the women of the Confederacy has been decided on and each state of the Confederacy, under the wise plan adopted wiH have a monument of tbc highest artis tic» design, to mark its appreci tion of these gloriona women. The plan selected is that sug gested by Gen. C. IrVinc Walker of Charleston, which was presented formally at the New Orleans reunion by the committee of which Col. James Mann of Norfolk is chairman. It is well thHt this point is now settled, for the South can know exactly what it is working for. The plan had most mature con sideration and waa adopted as it would give general satisfac tion aod waa most thoroughly practicable., The plan u to aecure from the very beat artiata a model or de sign, showing in the most em blematic ana highly artistic form what these women did and suffered, portraying it in simile statne or group of statue*. In bronze. It is the artistic work which is the large cost; the casting from the model is comparatively inexpensive. Tbc committee will bay the model and from it will have cast, la bronse, enough replicas ao that at least one can be placed in each of the Confederate states. All casts being from the one model and all delivered at the ■■un nine, all will Οβ Original·. Γ· each state, at each place aa may be hereafter decided, the itataea will be erected on appropriate and baa c! some. nrdestala. These pedestals will ί vary, but all will be similar, la that tbey will be crowned with the tana statue. All through i ont the Sooth can be seen tbeae I splendid memorials aud the very uniformity of tb« crowning Ktatnaa will show, as they should, that tba South as a whole united in paving thta tfiaffuificrut tribute to the wtur.rn of tbe Soatb as a whole. Ί he plan hss been accepted sad endorsed by all tbe state cooveotioo· of Veteran* and Soas to which H baa been aab mitted. by the Confederate Vetera Ha at tbeir New Orlesns renoion and oow decided by the approval of the committee of tbe Boa·, to whom it was re ferred at tbo same reunion.

Moved by love of his people and consciousness of his mission and duty, at great financial sscrifice. he rejected tempting offers from time to time to leave the Slate and to enter the commercial world at home. His life stands out per haps tbe highest ideal in this génération of North Carolinians of unselfish civic service. We believe that the people, wbopi be served in so many ways with so much fidelity, ability and love, will deem it a privilege and an honor to contribute to a fund for tbe erection of an heroic brooxe ttatne to perpetuate his memory.

Everybody passing along the country road· are remarking the whiteness ol the cotton fields. Many of the fields look as if every boll is open, and the lint is hanging down in long clusters. Nobody hss ever seen the Hke before on such a large scale. The ootlook is that we are to have quite a taste of bad rond» this winter. The wet weather of the summer has put the ronds in a fearful shape, and if winter is accompanied by its usual characteristics there will be no opportunity for the roads to get any better. l ue cnaiogaug ι» bow located on a road leading from Hickory Grove and Broad river.

There is very little reason to doubt the fact that the nfgro women propos· to quit doing the family washing as well as other work (or the white people. Just what their reason is we do not know.

The plantation has been under tbe management of Congressmen Ficley for a good many years past. This is lier first visit to Yorkville for quite a long time. Messrs. Black Bros, have decided to discontinue the opera tion of tbeir cotton gin until farther notice and the reason tbat Mr. Arthur Black gave tbe reporter yesterday is interest· ing: "Labor is too high and the mice we receive for ginning is too low. The fields are white with cotton and we've got to pick it. As matters now stand we can sell tbe fuel tbat we nse for steam to other folks at a greater profit than we can hope to get out of tbe operation of the κΐη under present con ditions.* The oil mill people say that they would not operate their gin except for the oppor tunity it aflorda to boy ootton seed.
