TWENTY-EIGHT PAGES SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1907. : , " ;IT IS A TRAGEDY. : Ouf . hews columns .have given In formation at the discovery, by the SUleV counsel 3n the railroad rate case, In , the" books of the Southern Railway .Company at Washington, or sumVof money 'paid by that company : last year to The Charlotte Observer, Washington : Post and Raleigh Even ing Times, or its president, the first named having, received $252, the second 81,032,; and (the third 16.000 all purporting to bo for advertising and the printing of special notices, By, way of refreshing the public mem ory the following is, reproduced from the Washington special of the 23d to The Observer: "The attorneys alto pointed out tho fact, -which they declare 1 significant, tint In the case of The Observer and The Washington . post, the voutAers are ae tempiiiied by-luiy rendered bill, showing the details of the sdvertUementa and the clippings from the papers, showing that i aiv- sjaws vi vwMswivr ww vit fi MiLVUf All vJ tale of s ho payments to The Times no such bills are studied to the vouchcri, ; in payment purporting to . oe 'settle- irent of account to date' when the money v was paid." , . The palefgh News find Observer of the 24th carried practically the same Washington special. The disparity in the sums paid the Raleigh paper and the Washington and suspicion and the subject was much discussed last week, by The RaJ Igh News and Observer and through out the State. Mr. Geo. B. Crater, business manager of The Times, has made statements about the transac- lnn 4n in tar o .Via. man., a M - volved and The Observer has printed the substance of these as received from its Raleigh correspondent, with holding comment until Mr. John C. Drewry, the president ofThe Visitor Times Publishing Company, was heard from. His statement appears this morning. Except that by his showing no part of the money re ceived was used to aid him in his candidacy for the State Senate, or in fluenced his conduct us a legislator, it does not, as it appears to us, help the case at all. Ills paper received urns of money out of all proportion to the value of the space occupied by , the advertising and special notices it gave the railway company; there Is no claim that tho sums received were tin legitimate 'business ar-count. The Observer has no heart at this moment to dwell on thin matter. It Involves character and involves it deeply.

The Knoxville Journal and Tribune, Republican, has this frank discussion cf its party's status in the South: "There 3s no Republican party in the South tr Fpnuk of. In Maryland and West Virginia, called Southern rftates, there U a strong Republican party; In the latter It is the controlling party, Maryland has been voting for. Republican candidates for Prenldent, cml with a fair showing and harmony In the party it al ways atand.t a good chance for carrying the State. Tho m may be said of Ken tucky, thm weakhma of the party In that State being th presence of factional di visions. - "In ' Tennessee there are two reliable Ropubllcan congressional districts; tho first district hut seldom, tor s long time, elected a IVmocratlc candidate; tn the second no Democrat hs beert elected to Congress since the year IS53, fifty-four years agok It is believed that with s fair election and an honest contest, the Stat might be Republican. But the greatest drawback is the abence Of harmony in the party In th -State. It has been rent by factional divisions for s long time and there seems te be no. disposition to forget men and adhere to principle, relying upon the correctness of - principle and policies for sutoeas.",. . r.; ,v .i.:.3 -: The ''factional divisions," noted as existing -among' Southern Republicans to- an- exteAt incompatible with effec tive party work ; cannot Jbe ft mere matter of accident, for; they are too widespread Hardly f anything else could "bej; expected ; in the case of a part, whose activities are confined al most entirely to squabbles over spoils which it had nothing io do with win ning; .the Southern Republican party. Indeed, ' is organized upon a basis of office division. In some States, of course, the situation to very much worse than in those discussed-by The Journal and Tribune or in North Car olina. Harmony W .proclaimed as an accomplished fact time and again, but the delicious odors issuing from the pie counter soon drive the hungry throngs on the outside to fresh mad ness. It jmay bo that the; gentleman in charge Is iconsclentlously endeavor ing to hand out the stuff wllh no dis crimination on account of fear or fa vor, buf those" passed" by seldom give' him credit for good Intentions. Be fore long the unfed-there is never gnough really-appetizing pie to go around fhave constituted themselves a militant 'faction?' and the old busi ness of one sei fly-blowing the other revlvess In full blast. Appeals to Washington are made in nearly every case, and all orts of mutual accusa tions are poured by the contestants In to disgusted ears. Secretary Taft ut tered only (the plainest truth when he declared that Southern Republicanism would make a better showing if all theFederal offices were held by Democrats, and he might have added that this improvement would begin with the loss of undesirables. With such well-defined opinions of South ern Republicanism held at Washing ton and in tho IsWth, a view at clos er range could . not be expected to reveal it as more attractive. No won der recruits are conspicuously lack Ing. . ' The Journal and, Tribune has accu rately (pointed out tha chief source of continuing Republican weakness in the South; it proceed to show that one important source of Democratic weakness in the country at large Is not far removed. ; We quote again: "This much about Renuhlicanlam In thn fouth. tho section has become known as the aoltd Kouth. nolittcal v mieakln. And he Republican politicians of the North ana tne Democratic politicians of the Houth seem to aitree with eaoh. other that Hi) i is a deKlra.bie condition. Not that thy are in partnership with each other but because it suits their uurnoaa as noli tlclans. A matters now stand It Is easv for the Democrats of the South to lcetn inemaeivea in m orricca ny appealing to N'orth, and the Repuhllcar ir.e Drviuaice oi ine neo find It easy for them to gnln headway by talking about the solid South. The South licln? solid, they say, It li s good imng ti t me jvorin to be and to remain clld. The North being the mot populous section of the country and by virtue of population having a controlling majority in tua national congress and the electoral crllego. the solidity plea smounU to more in that section than it does In the uoutn, because the North has the moat votes." , This Influence of the iolld South in helping to ensure a solid North has rocently been pointed out by Secre tary Taft. It, of course, accounts for the complacency with which. Southern solidity has long been regarded by Republican statesmen. Only men like Messrs. Roosevelt end Taft, whose etrong national feeling is of fended by party division along purely Hcctlonal lines, are heard to utter any marked objection.1 The wolld Gouth Is a recognized, jepubllcan asset. But the worst remains to bo - aaid4., Th.? South' continued solidity Is due much less to living Issues than to bygone dread of negro domination, and '!o other dead things. As In the North, se.ctlotinl consciousness also plays a i part. This solidity, having its roots In the pa.it and "practically unshakable hy the present, brings aboul some very unhappy results. Since tho South is chained fast to the Demo cratic party, Its party role Is second or third fiddle, while supposedly tie batable States and sections roe.ilvo all the confederation. Here lies the great and real evrt from the stand- point alike of Southern self-rasped and Southern self-interest. True, It Is not a necessary evil. The South could easily, and to the party's im mense advantage, taka the lead, but courage 5s at present lacking.' The solidity can he borne Tho Observer haa no complaint against something of which It forms a part If only the South would tncaure-up to the re sponsibilities which that eolidlty and consequent preponderance in the Democratic party bring. Democracy has been like a rudderless ahlp for years past; 1s it not high time for the people having a majority Interest to take a hand? As matters now stand, the South count for nothing, not only in the country (except a i Re publican asset) but In the party also. Southern Democracy 1st at least re spectable. We are further consoled by the thought that It salvation lies tn It own hand and walts 4ut upon an access of courage, In what other eKsTatpspecToprduwpTHe-rri-- ocracY to-day occupy a - much less bumble, position than Southern : Re. publlcantsm ? ' Tr.::vo::x of porty cocktails T1io?e forty cocktails threw Vice President Fairbanks, as a lessor num ber have thrown many another man. At the Indiana Conference of tne Methodist "Church, Friday, Mr. Fair banks was defeated by a majority of one for lay delegate to the Quadren nial Conference at Baltimore in May next. He may not have ordered them for hls( table the day the President and other gentlemen were gueata at his i house; Mrst Fairbanks may not have ordered thm; the President may not have done so; the caterer may not have brought them in with out an order; more than likely The Houston Post Is right in saying that The Charleston News and Courier or dered them. At all efenU they were there and Mr..' Fairbanks must ' bear the opprobrium. . There is no effacing the record. ' " " . " 'not 11 his Piety nor Wit Shall lure It back to cancel half a line Nor all his Tears wash out a Word of it The forty cocktajls will of course be, of course are, an Issue in ; the campaign Mr. Fairbanks is making for the Republican nomination . for President, and they will beat him as handily for that as they beat hlra for delegate to the Baltimore Confer ence. ; "' BUT A CAT MAY LOOK AT A KIXG. This 4s from the esteemed Raleigh Christian Advocate: ' "Thu following ' lines, written by Rev. M. C. Thomas, and headed 'Hoi-a's North Carolina Conferenco Chnrget,' aro so eminently practical and philanthropic that wo gladly surrender to them our editorial apuce. We trust that our read ers will read, ponder, Inwardly digest, and obey. In tho meantime, let Ttw Charlotte Observer keep htndi off. This Is a Conference affair." 'Tlsn't copyrighted is It, Brother Ivory? If not, here goes: "Praise to you that have so done.

According to a Census Bureau pre Hmlnary report, the United States consumed 6,296,783 bales of cotton in the year ending Augunt 31st last, as against 4,820,990 the iprevlous year. The totals for 1907 include foreign cotton amounting, to 6,018 running bales taken by "manufacturers in the cotton growing States and 180,389 taken by manufacturers in. all the frthex States, v,th. torn bar tof active eotton -consuming epindtes for" the United states Mn 1907 "was 28,242,407. as' against 251260,095 in 1906.

He leaned back In his chair dur ing the deal and told his story with an enthusiasm and assurance born of youth, health and a new college diploma.- "Some time ago I overheard two women talking as thay came out of Jordan's. One said to the other, 'I'm going home; my old man will be com ing up from the office soon.' " 'Oh come on and let's do some shopping,' replied the other, 'I refuse to allow domestic affairs to tyrannize over ime.' "Yesterday I was watching two men play pool. Near the end of the game one looked at his watch, exclaimed at the lateness of the hour and remarked .that he was going home. Oh icome on, let's play out the game. It's a long time till supper yet,' the second man said. I had forgotten the re marks of the women; the words of the husbands recalled them and I under stood. "Understood what?" asked the mar ried roan across the table. "Understood why the husband pre ferred to play pool." The college graduate spoke with the air of one who pities the stupidity of man. The married man was looking in tently at the hand that had Just been dealt him. Without moving hla head he lifted his eyes to the face of the young matrimonial philosopher oppo site and seemed to study It with great deliberation. Finally he spoke. "Look here, Infant. You had better talk of 'ut clauses, the fourth dimen sion, transcendentalism or some such academic subject. You haven't for gotton that sort of thing yet. As for knowledge of women and matrimony, that comes only with beard and much tribulation. Whose play is It?" M- -'s friends had never under- stood why he had not "arrived" or "made good" as men say on the street. He was the marked man among them at college and was looked to for great achievement. He seemed to possess every requisite for success, noble 'body, giant mind, magnetic aoul and character above reproach. It seem ed to those who knew him that he had only to ask of Fortune her prlncellest gift. Yet one by one his companions of college days had reached and pass ed him in the longer course. Once his hand was almost at the goal and the laurel, but he withdrew from the race. The central spring of his he Ing seemed to have snapped In some unknown strecs. These things were often the subject of conversation among the fellows as they met by chance in their movements about the world. But none could explain. Now It was written In the stars that M should be kept In. the city Sunday night by a wreck; also thai he should decide to look up one of his old college friends. They sat In easy attitude, smoked and talked of other days. Somewhere In ths conversation the friend Quoted the lines "For a man's Teach should ex ceed his grasp or what's a heaven for." "Didn't Browning say that?" M asked. , "Yes, I think so; 1U from 'Andrea del Sarto' I think," the friend replied. He reached for his copy of Brown ing and .began to look for the lines. At M 's request he read the entire poem. He raised his eyes to M -'s face carelessly, almost unconclously, as he read. Was It the pose of the body, the expression of the face or some strange telepathies message that told? He doesn't know. But he knows why M gave up the race. The writer was passing along one of the side streets of the city yester day about sundown, busied about his own affairs. A man came down the street from the opposite direction, whistling and swinging along In the manner of one who has a destination and desires to arrive. He turned into a gate; a child ran down the walk, crowing with Joy and threw itself Into the man's arms. He tossed the little fellow into the air, smiling as If this were the final happiness, while the child screamed with excitement and delight. A woman came out of the door and met the two and they stood laughing and talking ; happily, they finally dlappeared through the door. It was the picture that has always taken such strange hold upon the hearts of men: Work, Love and (Rest The writer walked somewhat more slowly; he stopped somewhere up the street and Idly drew lines on the ground with his foot. lis was think ing deeply; tb shock of readjust ment was passing through his whole system of thought; for the man, woman and child were negroes, , It was almost a winter's day, and throu gn th e gra y desolate hal Mlgh t the rain was driving. K tehild's white coffin rested above the open grave. A minister, th undertaker, two grave diggers and the old gray, cemetery sexton stood ;waltiftf. 6omwhat apart two women stood ; one was deeply veiled. Crossed in black and leaned heavily on J tee awn of the other; She was th unwedded mother of the dead child. ,Th'other woman wen, she doesn't care to be in this picture, j It may be 'added that she Is known in some parts or the city as the Christ-woman. ; The vole of th minister broka the silence, intoning th ancient song of th grief, of man: faw-that-4tw"-wwius-4of few . day and, -fu.lt' of trouble,,. He eometh forth as a flower and t cut Aown, he fleet h also as a shadow and i- continueth - not." As the tiny coffin was lowered Into the grave a wail lifted, quivered through the city of the dead and died into sobbing. The sound of heavy sodden earth, fall lng . The two great shadows, Shame and Death, had met there in a gloom through which one gropes bewildered. They form a night whose morning breaks on what far . shores? All words are discords; only silence blends with this sombre shadow. Hold, there Is one word that may 'be uttered there; it is "God." One dimly dis cerns a dawn in that word. . SIRS. JULIA HOUGH JUDGE BEX NETT PAYS TRIBUTE. We discharge a duty to a friend of many years by this 'brief tribute of speech to Mrs. Julia Hough, wife of Hezeklah Hough, who .entered into rest eternal June 1, 1907, aged 82 years, Her husband Is standing upon the ragged edge of 90 years, without Weakness, -but, alas under the shadow of Death's 'banner. V Her maiden name was Martin and such was her pulchritude and charm that many suitors declared their pas slon and discord among some of them at length culminated In tragedy. Now and then we see mothers who add to their domestic cares by as sumlng the oversight of other people's children. How beautiful it is! How unsel fish Our blessed Saviour, standing upbn "God'V own house," enrapt of grief at the recusancy of Jerusalem, hailed the city as refusing the haven of His holy arms. How full of sweet icomfoTt! What a striking figure this, all and singular! This foster mother adorned maternity and height ened the duty this opportunity gave her. Verily In her death, "The year has lost Its spring," if one may borrow the metaphor of Perleles, at the bier of the nower of Athenian citizens. I bear this testimony to the high estate of this dead mother out of the abundance of my love, the universali ty of my heart, that never gave hos pitality to a sentiment, hostile beyond the span of a day. May God temper the wind to her broken-hearted husband and the five surviving children, who find in her example a constellation of virtues dear now dearer yet to be. Living In comfort upon the broad acres of her husband, she dispensed beautiful hospitality, and saluted the coming guest with warmth of man ner and without evasion. R. T. BENNETT.
