Charlott people ar very sensitive about their rights at the ballot box. They ar willing to be taxed to th limit, provided they ' ar : permitted to vote on election day. ' . Th old ante-revolution cry of "taxation with out representation" Is still heard In tl)e land and he who dares to return to the day of British rul in North Carolina had better prepare to meet bis political death. Fair play la what the average Tar - Heel wants, demands and must have. .Therefore, it is not strange mat tne gooa cm sons of Charlotte, Smaller Charlott or Greater Charlotte,, should be con cerned about the proposed election provisions of the new charter. Th average man cares vary llttl whether Charlott aver has another wet or dry election or not, but he does not want to bellev tnat he is being plotted against Many ' feel that th "wet ' and "dry" provision Jo the proposed charterja unfair , : That section reads i r "'-.-!r7 "That the provisions hereinbefore made for holding th elections of th mayor and board of aldermen, shall apply to the holding of all other city elections, Including elections In regard to Intoxicating liquors. ' 'That If any petition shall be made to the board of aldermen of said city for an election under Chapter it of the 'Revlsal of 1(06 of North Caro lina' within four years from and af ter the first day of May, 1907, no election shall b ordered upon such petition unless the number of quali fied voters signed 'thereto shall be equal to one-third of th sum of qualified voters now on the registra tion books of said city, and of the qualified voters whos names may be registered under the new registration provided for herein." In talking with an Observer man yesterday a practical politician said: "There la something wrong with that aectlon. The Watt law says that 1-3 of the qualified registered voters can call a 'wet' and 'dry election. This proposed law would require for a baslsy for a call for an election, the qualified registration now In force, with the qualified registered vote or the coming May election added to It, divided by three. In other words, if the present qualified registered vote is 2,800 and the new registration In the Bprlnr la 1,000 the two sums must be added together, making 3,800, and divided by three, getting. In round numbers, 1,260 voters, the number required before an election can be called. Tou will see that It Is pos sible that but 1,000 persons would register for the mayors election in May and that a call for a prohibition election would require 1,250, or 260 more votes than would be registered for the election. "To put it another way: the man ho Is now registered but does not register In May. would be disfran chised as far as any election, Is con cerned, but his name would count agalnnt a call for a prohibition elec tion. "Some voters would be counted twice against a call for a liquor flection. "Those In favor of thla plan are willing to let aU question", except n Honor election, stand or fa.ll on the new registration. For the next four vesrs thou who try to get enough signers to rail a prohibition election must hark bRck to the qualified reg istered vote now on the books the 2. An that I took ss a bn-1. "If thli chsrter l adapted the peo ple Hvlnr In the new annexed terrl torv would he prm'ttd vote nftc- the i r.th of March, or Immediately pf'er It bernmen n Inw, pome "f the verv heat Mcnda of thl prohibition aectlon admit that 1t la unfair, hut argue that l com, ing their way." TTTTY WTTOV fiWlFTiT OO W Mr. .Taeper Miller air Hla Views on the flnhievt. In dlncuslng the cotton sltuntlori veerrtflv Mr. Jasper Miller said: "It now begins to look as If the eupplv of good grsdes of cotton which la only entlmated at shout 10.000.000 hnlea for thla crop, will fell far short of the renulrementa of the mill, and that the low grades, which have had anrh a depressing effect up to this time, will have to be used to mix In with the good cotton In order to keep the mills running, atvd that these low grades will necessarily sympathise with the good grades, and advance to such a level as to make their delivery on oontracts In New York, Impracti cable, end thereby cause a general uplift In the whole cotton market 'The mills have never had a better season than they ar now enjoying, and with auch trade conditions con tinuing, every baU will be consumed even though the crop should turn out to bo around IS. 000, 000 bales. Cot ton Is ntw of the cheapest products on the msrket snd should advance ma terially to be In line with the yarn and cloth markets." KOUH IP FOll RETAILING.

The Sunday School Ii.Htltuto, which will be. held in the auditorium of the Second Presbyterian church March 8, , and 10, will claim the attention of many Sunday school workers In this city and county, and Its influence will reach even farther. ' Rev, Robert D. Colt and Mr. H. W. Glasgow are ' busily engaged in getting th programme of tho Insti tute completed, and It will present an attractive list of subjects, and a atrong list of speakers. Among th latter ar a number of tho ablest preachers and Christian worker in the Southern Presbyterian Church; " Th services of Rev. A. L Phillips, of Richmond; Rev. Tharon H. Rice, of Atlanta; Mr. J.

The attendance will undoubtedly ne very large, aa the commute in charge of the arrangements are making every effort to have th evening's entertain ment fully up to the high standard of previous affairs. Friends of the congregation ar Invited. New Picture On. The new pictures at the Odeon, which went on yeaterday on schedule time, are easily up - to the standard. "Man Wanted" depicts the sad error committed by an Individual who im agined he had a cinch. He answers an ad calling for a good looking young man to make himself useful at a sum mer resort -hotel. When the bevy of young women ar through with him, horn, sweet by comparison. Is good enough. "Raps, or My Friend the Dummy" shows how a dummy may under certain circumstances be a par ty to a systematic graft gam. Ministers to Meet Monday.
