So conservative an au thorlty as The New Yont Journal of Commerce said In lu Issue of Tucs day that "affairs appear to be getting critical In Wall Street. Forced liqui dation of stocks, carried with borrow- ed money," it continues, "has shaken out 'most of the inflated market val ves, tut there seems to be ho solid bottom to arrest the decline and re store ataDiiity. j?or a variety or rea sons the sustaining effect of confi dence la wanting and 'powerful Inter ests' have become either unwilling dr; unable tJ stem the tide." And attain: "Whatever has produced this situation, and whatever there may be to aggravate It, it must be controlled If. serious trouble is to be averted, not merely from tho stock market but from general business, which ia de pendent upon adequate banking facil ities and financial support for auccess ful continuance. At present prices for stocks and with the existing con dition, not ot wild speculation for a rise, but a desperate struggle against persistent decline, the great need is sufficient funds at command for fi nancing the situation and holding it in control, and these the money mar ket does.hot afford." It Is pointed out that the' bank reserves are low and interest rates high, and The Journal of Commerce knows but one way to look for money market relief and that is to the United States Treasury In which there 1 a cash surplus of about 80,000,000 in addi tion 10 neany tioubie that amount en deposit with national hanks. The Nw York Sun 1h even more out spoken about conditions. It said Tuesday; "Many mora' millions were taken off Ihe market valuv; f-l wurltict, irsli-rdtiy , by a decline more violent than any last week. Trading was In greater volume ' and more exulted, llnuldailon was heavier and more costly and the aii!ir.liennlini .of trouble us a result of the lm;ik v.er keener an1 more acute. To ull inquiries , as to the chuso of the break theru was the same old answer. Radical anil -cor-iioiutio.) wMon by varlrmH Htate and n tiontU authorities had frightened holders Of stocks low chiiiiginj them for wish." ...-.The Bun continues that during tho day there were collapse In prioea which seemed to bring the market near the demoralisation of panic. There was no panic "but almost all day long stocks .sold ut lower than panic prices." Happily il was annum rt in New York yesterday thut Secretary of toe Treasury Cortelyou has derided to again come to the relief of the money f, market and this announcement will no doubt gi far to allay the appre hension. Wilt the inimiry would do well to take knowledge nr t)o fa t that financial conditions in New York are not eomfortahte and govern itself accordingly, it being as well to rccx nixe the fact thai a convulsion In New Yor would affect every com munity on the continent.

V.'e f"l -rry f-r the t l-i'irh op rraioss who have heod!' -s'y ene upon a strike which there wis n-vr a chance for them to win. There is no doubt a certain pleasurable excite ment about this sort of thing at the beginning; It is more or less sensa tional; the fact of a lot of men get ting up from their tables at the stroke of a given haur, putting on thejr coata and marching out In a body. Is supposed to produce a certain theatrical effect, and encouragement Is derived from the cheers anl ap proving counsel of the small boys who applaud without inowing why. Then there It courage In numbers. Men are braver In battle than they are taken singly, and atrikers supported by each other borrow nerve which they would lack if it wer an Individual1 proposi tion." Besides, there ara always assur ances of help from headquarters, or from allied trades, which bring confi dence, but this is meagra If it ver comes, and presently the landlady will want her board money and the laun dress her pay for washing the clothes. It may be that there are small debts around town, and these always begin to press when the job is gone, and embarrassment and the sober second thought, hand in hand, troop lit on the striker. The pleasurable excite ment is gone nowi the . sensation has grown ''.Male; the theatrical effect has passed away and the Uppermost consciousness relates to rock bottom nd to which way to turn for work. There Is no. glamor atbout thfi situa tion; it Is very real, and the striker wonders now why he did not foresee It. The man who "called him out" is 'way off yonder, in New Yorit(or Chi cago or San Francisco or somewhere, without the slightest Interest in him since, he has become unable to pay dues and his fcllow-atrlkcrs from whom he derived and to whom he communicated Dutch courage at the outset are powerless to help him be cause they can't even help them selves. Men thus duped should be exempt from ridicule, abuse or even Indiffer ence. They are proper objects of sym pathy and good counsel and those accustomed to giving good advice would find receptive hearers If they would gently whisper to them: "If tempted In future to strike Doa't." BLACK EYE IX)R THE STATE. The following Is from the financial column of The New York Sun of Tuesday: "A prominent North Carolina banker wanted to know yesterday morning wlti'it the chances were of floating a lot of prime (i per cent. North Carolina county or municipal bonds in Wall Street. Tho bond house to which the inquiry was ad dressed called up the heads of several other houses and received an emphatic negative which coincided entirely with Its own opinion. 'Neither I nor any one I know,' he wired to North Carolina, 'wr.ulrt own. recommend or even look at any North Carolina security whatever.' In a short time the North Carolina barker W'ird back even more laconical ly. 'You'ro dead right,' was his answer." We should be less impressed with this if it were not for tho fact that a Charlotte banker exhibited to us Iwst week a letter from a responsible Baltimore house with which he had sought to negotiate certain Charlotte city notes, the letter being lefts curt than the anwer, quoted above, of the New York bond houae to the North Carolina hanker, but of the same tenor and equally firm In declining to consider a deal. In tho letter was enclosed a newspiiper clipping telling of a township In Hertford county re nlstlng on a technicality tho payment of bonds whk-h it had voted. North Carolina aa a Stale or as communities or countlea was never so able, to pay Its obligations as now and ihe masses of the people were never more willing to pay them. It is a scrcat misfortune, therefore, that the ('tale should have undeservedly ac quired any degree of bad standing In financial circles, because it Is devel oping rapidly and the future growth of iUi Industries must depend upon its ability to market Its securities, pub lic or corporate. Our legislators and public men generally must, however, learn from these Instances that in discriminate warfare upon enterprlwe has already wrought mischief and If persisted in will prove ruinous. The directors Of the Highland Hotel Company arc to bo congratulated upon (heir wisdom in having leaned tho Kel wyn in Mr. Edgar B. Moore, proprie tor of Kenllworth Inn nt lllltmore. There n no one expecting to ever visit Charlotte, who haa been a guest of h'enilworth Inn ut any time slnve It has been under Mr. Moore's manage ment, but will learn of this with pleas ure. He Is not only a capital hotel man, one who knows his business In all Its details, but a genial, delightful host. Hla proprietorship 0f the Kel wyn spells success. Mr, Moore Is fully advertent to ltst attractiveness and realize that its possibilities are great. The people of Charlotte will be gratified to know that this beauti ful hotel la to puss into suoh t'.ior oughly capable hanjp. Mr. Ivcke CraJg, who delivered In this county yesterday an addresi which struck those who heard 1t with much favor. Is to be .commendedIf a man Is ever to be commended 'for observing the stmplo proprieties upon the fact that fno did not pervert a social occasion Into an occa sion for , exploiting himself. He Is a .canfljdato for tha nomina tion for Governor but there was ho suggestion of It In anything he said, and thlg fact was favorably com mented on Id the audience. .

Sharon township put her best foot foremost, yesterday and came out In full force to attend the picnic of the Woodmen of the World held in the fcheron church grove. A crowd esti mated at 1,600 was present, comprising some of the best people that Mecklenburg possesses. The principal speaker was Mr. Locke Craig, of Asheville. He waa later followed by Mr. C. C. Moore, president of the State organisation of - the Southern Cotton Association. Solomon has sung of the Rose of Rnaron and her manifold beauties. There were many Roses of Sharon present yesterday, comely to toehold and paaalng fair. So much to, in fact, that many who came to hear the speaking, hesitated, fell ; among the roses and were lost. Theso dainty flowers lent quite a bit" of color and plcturesquenesa to an assemblage that was fully representative of Mecklen burg. , Prosperous-looking, Intelligent Veople they were, with plenty of the most substantial farmers and citi zens of the State and any number of pretty . women. . " A prettier location tor a celebration of this kind than that surrounding Sharon church and schoolhouse 5 It would be hard to find. . The grounds are . level, smooth , and well covered with green grass. Plenty of shade is furnished by , tall oaks, hickories and pines. The grove Is Just thick enough to give plenty of shade with out interfering with the free move ment of a large crowd. The thicker woods encircling provide ideal apota for hitching. ' ';-' The day was almost Idsal. It was warm, but with an absence of the more humid heat which has charac terlred the weather during the last few days. The sun shone brightly and with vigor, but there was ft gentle breeae to nullify Its effect, and shortly after noon the clouds began to gather and the latter part of the speechmaklng waa listened to under shielding thunderheada. Mr. Craig was never in better voice. His tones were clear, strident and far-carrying. He spoke with power and moving eloquence. It waa evi dent that what he said made a deep Impression on his hearers, The at tention he gained was unusual con sidering that It was from a crowd gathered tor a gala occasion. There was scarcely any of the disorder usually characteristic . of the out skirts of a large crowd. The cus tomarily frivolous restrained them selves and even the babies who ordi narily get impatient about the mid dle of a speech, behaved themselves admirably. What Mr. Craig sftld was of concern to the crowd and they listened with mouth agape and s-es fixed. Applause was frequent and the speaker's ringing and vigorously put statement of the rights of the State was received with enthusiasm. There la no doubt about the temper of the people in this regard and what Mr. Craig said along this line hit them about right. He did not gen eralize In tho least In discussing this question, nor did he. attempt - to equivocate. What he said was clear ly put and could not be misunder stood. Mb. Craig was logical all through, Though he was eloquent at times and at others humorous, the results ot some plain, clear thinking was evi dent in what he said. As a sub stantial farmer remarked afterwards: "Thero was more good, hard senso in that speech than any I've heard In a political speaking In a long time." There was no reference In any part of Mr. Craig's speech to the fact that he Is a candidate for the Demo cratic nomination for Governor. In fact, there was little reference to anything political in hla entire speech, save In a general way. The fact that tho spenker disregarded politics was apparently rather appreciated by the ero,wd. it Is perhaps a little early in the game to expoct the public to get red hot in regard to matters entirely political and tho fact, that Mr. Craig devotd himself principally to mat tors that concern the people Instead of himself was something of a relief. A member of the audience remarked: "I'm glad for one that there was liUl about Mr. Craig and much about the uplift of the people." The most direct political reference made by Mr. Craig was In connection with hla dlsrusslon of the supreme sovereignty of the people. All great political questions, he said In substance, will have to be settled by tho people. He said that North Carolina could not and would not. be goverenefl by Federal Judges; that the people of the. State had a right to settle, matters that concerned the State and would settle them; that he had this advlco to give the rail roads in North Carolina: That they hud better withdraw their challenge to tho sovereignty of this' State made beforo a Federai Judge and aubmlt, like other citizens doing , business In this State, to the courts of the peo ple of this State, from which they (tho railroads) ought to get, and would get, entire Justice, This pronunclamento earned salvo of hearty applause. The, speakers' Htand stood In a sort of natural arena or amphitheatre formed by a semi-circle of great oak and hickory trees, providing a set ting that scarcely could be Improved upon. In tho background was the new 11,800 Sharon schoolhouse, a npftt. two-story building, decorated with starred bunting and American flags. In the rear of the seated spectators was the church. This ar rangement prevented the speaker from straining his Voice In trying (o cover too large an, area and made the acoustics good. , " Mr. Craig was Introduced by Mr. C. H. Duls, of the Charlotte bar, who referred t the speaker, as "the most scholarly publifr man In the state and an eloquent champion of the people's rights." , Mr. Craig's speech as a whole ex toli?d the benefit end advantages of brotherhood, fraternallsm ' plv,s righteousness was , fitting In ; a speech before an audience composed largely of Woodmen of the World, and showed how the Ideal of the fra ternal orders should be the same in politics and all government. The Idea of brotherhood, he said, was the .great principle of the Wood men, of all fraternal orders and of the. Church as well, which last ts the Order of Universal Brotherhood, founded more than 1,800 years agn Tht highest conception of Ufa, said the speaker In substance, Is service to one another. We should cultivate ouraelvea io as to enable us to render tro best service to ourselves and to ovis another, in this country; every pvsim has an opportunity to attain to tha highest position, so that he can perform his part In life and per form Jt.welt and Intelligently.

"An admirable thing in character," said the speaker, "Is unselfishness, but this does not mean that every man should not define his own rights and that a man should not . have what he ia entitled to. A Just man Is not only a man who does not permit Injustice to himself but one-Who will not stand by and see Injustice done to another. I believe in equal rights to all and special privileges to none. The rich and poor mast be alike be fore the law, and no Institution, how ever great, is entitled to special privi leges." The speaker then pointed out that the people must be the court of last resort in, all caaes. "It la the people who must decide,",, said he, "and tome people are now 'beginning to find that out who didn't- realise It before." Thia was another state ment that wae greeted with applause, Mr. Craig then took the ground of ih. uiai. in l Aiamiwiin the recent rate law ? controversy, . and. ? after stating his position definitely In this respect, brought his speech to a close, after being on his feet and hour and fifteen minutes. ...... : rrt..

I executed a warrant for about twenty-five foreigners. Kline was not there. I went to a car and found Kline and Joe, the in terpreter, going to camp. At , tne camp I read the warrant to Joe, he explained it to the foreigners, possi bly thirty present. The foreigners kept grumbling till near dark. I told Joe to' tell-them they would have to go to Jail. Some wanted to work.
