The Petersburg Index-Appeal re cently asserted that high prices mke hard times, and that the country Is now actually In the midst o hard times,, notwithstanding its enormous volume of manufacturing and . mer cantile business.' This position v The Index-Appeal now undertakes to maintain against facetious attack by citing tho recent failure of Newport News to receive a single bid V on a ' J 100,000 street Improvement (bond Is . - suea' failure attributable neither to . any. defect In the credit of Newport , News nor to an unduly low rate of in tereec on the bonds. "The money market," we are told, "was so string nt that means were not available for Investments outside regular lines of l business, even though safe and profit : able." Such a . situation as this, . thinks The Index-Appeal, can Jn- ' dlcato only the prevalence of hard ' time ' , We wholly agree neither with our , .: Petersburg contemporary nor with its ' attackers. As we see the situation, the majority, of the public is enjoying vsnr.food times Indeed, while ija, Targe " BmTmtJma1,y Increasing, ihl'nority 4s - beinf Whatever individual; j or bostoes has been unable to make his or Its net Income keep pace with the general Inflation necessarily suf . Cera. Suffering Individuals are found ; everywhere, but chiefly in the large cities; suffering lines of business in clude some of the most Important In " the oountry. ' Foremost among the' unfortunate is, of course, the lm !' mens railroad Interest. Quite apart from hostile legislation, the railroads . ' face problems of very great serious ness. Their operating expenses have . increased disproportionately, their old securities are at a low ebb, and, . worst of all, they cannot iborrow money on new securities to construct ; even temporary and partial improve-1 . ments. In a badly over-strained I money market, where only high bid" ' avail, railroads stand little chance. , Mr. 'James J. Hill, of the- Great r -7 Northern Railway, goes so far as to call railroad building nulhe Unlt 'ed State "a thing of the past." Ttall ' . roads, fie declares, cannot possibly cope with the growth of a traffic in - creasing "five times as fast as mllo- - age; hence. they are up against a .,' .stone wall.1; Vr? Hill sees no near prospect of investors loosening to , w.trd the roads, and as a means of re : lb to the transportation problem ad . ' ' vorates a thirteen-foot channel in the Mississippi from St. Louis to the Gulf. Clearly, this plight of the common carriers la bound to react upon the country. ! . mr 4Ka Almut fttnim tt money scarcity by any means con- fined to the railroads.. Every Indl- vldual, firm, corporation or munlei '. pftllty having occasion to borrow . money must reckon with the name slt- vatlon; cpnsequently. building, and , : 4 projects of expansion, show a slackening tendency. So much capl i tal Is absorbed by the general high prfce-level, and it costs so much to do business these days, that many of the big figures Joyfully proclaimed . are more apparent than real and rep- ' resent a lrge percentage of money- wasting Inflation. t In short, the boom, after the fashion' of its kind, has reached a point where It finds great difficulty In financing Itself. The 1 country's solid growth Is being severe ly checked In order that current bus lness may (be done upon an inflated basis. - Not a few lines of business are more directly harassed by Inflat ' ed cost of supplies, ard labor than by - jnoney stringency,? but It must be evi dent from the facta just noted that, In their last analysis, these troubles are , the some. Finally, brethren. Is not ' lha popularity of radical policies in iboth national parties to-day clearly ; duo In very Jarge part to the hard ship of prosperity? ', Day by day complaint at the cost of living and doing business grow louder and come from more people. However The Index-Appeal's con tention' mar need to ' be modified, there i thus a large element of truth Jn It; And yet, provided the sober ing tendency now observable, will suf fice, aa It doubtless will, to avert se rious reaction, we are not at alt evense to seeing present general con t;.'

Tl.o Democratic party sl--; t upon la i lgI.U while the nopubHearf party slole itu sound, money principles; and unless H la watchful the greate-st op portunist party in history will Vut it- Tself in the lead for tariff reform. The Republican State convention of Massachusetts in sesrHn Saturday ac- comnanled its declaration of belief in protection with a demknd for a spe-J ta cooul rtrt rf Prtnc?faaa " ,1tr , Antcn- $ mine uponamendments to the"pres7 ent tariff law or the enactment of a new measure to meet changed condi tions." This Is not the onlyelgnof the times. Tariff reform '.sentiment Is rife In the Republican party and It lsnot confined tdf the V agricultural class. , The politicians of the party are alive to Us growth and many of them have put themselves . In llne with the comparatively new senti ment The country haa out-grown Dirtgleyism, and the Republican arty, never slow to take note of a chtmge m the wind and to adapt Itself to changed views of , the voters, will adapt ' itself to altered' conditions , Jf its ancient antagonist does not speed ily. put Itself in a mare aggressive at titude toward the question of " tariff reduction. There is no need for It to hunt for ew and experimental is sues when this one, alive and popu lar, is already at hand. , ; COXFXSED POLITICS IN NEW . y;';:' ' YOWL, There Is a strange situation In New York this' fall. Democratic and Re publican gtate committees have Just agreed upon what purports to be a non-partisan ticket for two associate justiceships of the State Court of Appeals, and there even' exists a pos slblllty that Tam-miny and the Re publicans may fuse In New York county ,4fc-" Assemblymen, aldermen j-ar.a local judicial officers. This situ tlon will be more readily understood when it is stated that both Democrats and Republicans wish to avoid a line-up In the State with a presiden tlal election coming on next year and also agree in wishing to make Hearst's new third party show i-s strength. Few doubt that In a three cornered fight Tammany could carry Its own bailiwick with ease, but, the Tammanyites fear possible Hearst- Republican font on a consummation which Mir. Hearst has been s:renu ously endeavoring to bring about and so offer the Republicans fusion with themselves. At present It looks like a freeze-out for the Hearst crowd, whether Tammany and the Republicans get together locally or not. Was "here ever a stranger po litical situation in any American city? Of a verity, third ipartles cause queer doings everywhere they exist. . THREE VITAlj St'BJECTS. A correspondent' of The Tlmcs-Dls-patch, of Richmond, gives it a dis course on the subject of mad atones, of which it is said there are three in the coun:ry one in Indiana, one 'In Virginia and "the third In the posses sion of the Pointer family of Person county, N. C." With an eye to the harmonies our contemporary prints also a communication arguing the vir tues of Christian Science aa a' cura tive agency. The Times-Dispatch, though by no means destitute of the sense of humor, has a half-column editorial, apparently In a serloui vein, on the preventive qualities., of the mad stone, of which- It' can be truly said that Its preventive (properties In cases of mad dog bites arp at' least as great as those of the paving Stone. When It gets through wltfi this topic and ha time to do so we should bn pleased to see In our valued contem porary an Illuminating editorial abou bloodhounds which are sometimes "sent for" In Virginia as well as North Carolina. When these two subjects are exhausted It would be well for it to favor the public with a deliverance on the curative agency of an Irish potato carried fn the pocket In a case of rheumatism. Fairbrother's Everything" remarks with reason upon the hysteria over the Fairbanks cocktails- that ."the I wh0,e tnln u Idiocy. This nation annuany consume some eeverai mil lion cocktails; tin revenues from rum are something nslnundmgj there are rivers Of whiskey running "down the thVrvits of people every day, and the records show that some of the wisest and bent statesmen of our times and other times took their toddy and sup- j I""4 ,nf,r "H ktall. The" mere fact that Fairbanks unfortunately .served cocktails and the people present drunk them seern:i to be a national oslamlty." But the problem' that awaHs solution is whether It was Ordering the cocktails that ;prought Fairbanks Into disfavor or Whether it was his having acted the feather-leg in the matter. ! ' I The Interesting Rowland c case, which occupied practically alj4 of the time of Wake Superior .yCourt last week, had a dramatic endfng yester day. Such incidents as marked J the announcement of the acquittal of the defendant are rare In North Carolina and the subsequent events unparal leled. f i tThe Hogg Memorial Park Lake As sociation has keen chartered, ajtf Aus tin, Tex., for the purpose pit forming a beautiful and 4txteiu(lv' - 'jpaifc 'li i memory of the late ex-Qpvernor Hogg.

The Percy FonviUe case will be called for trial in Greensboro at Fed eral Court, this week. It is marked down in the calendar for Tuesday but will hardly be called then. Two of the counsel for the defense are known to have considerable business to transact in Alabama and it Is very likely that one of them will be delayed for a day or two. The. charge gainst Fonville is that of "aiding and abetting" Franc H, Jones, ex-asslstant cashier, ln.hls defalcations at the Charlotte National Bank last spring. The case promises to be a hard fought one for the ibest legal talent has been v employed on both sides, llessrs.

C, Posing as a IaptlstMlnlMter But rtelleved to Re a nignnilst and a Fraud. Easley, Sptclal, Sth, to Greenville, S. C, Itcws. Dr. K. V. Millard, who came here about ten days ago posing as a Bap tist preacher, has been run out of town. A letter was received yester day from the Dorchester county au thorities telling of his record. It seems that he deserted his wife and family out West a few years rago and came to Dorchester county where he axaln married. He was put in Jail there but was released and had not been heard of since. He came to Easley, about ten Jays ago and sought the call of the Second Baptist church here. They wefe-thlnk-Ing of calling him, when this letter came "to Rev. D. W. Hltt telling htm that Millard was an Impostor. He lectured last Sunday In the Methodist church on "Joshua in Egypt." He claim to have been all over Egypt as well as Europe, but none of this is believed. He pointed In eloquent terms to the great curse Mohammedanism was to Egypt and the sad picture of wives deserted by their husbands and within a few days he was driven out of town for the same thing. He spent most of the week in Pickens trying to secure a call neai that town. He and his wife left on No. 18 yesterday for parts unknown- Two Democratic Conventions and Two Tickets in "Massachusetts. Springfield, Mass., Dispatch, Oth. Two turbulent Democratic State conventions In session here to-day at the same time and in the same hall, each nominating a eet of candidates from Governor down, presented a sit uation unknown in Democratic poli tics In this State. It will require the decision of the Massachusetts toallot law commission and posslhjy the courts to determine the question of whether General Charles W. Bart Jelt, of Newton, or Henry M.

The Supreme Court has given Its decision in the case of Luther W. Reese against Governor Ansel, in volving an effort on the part of advo cates of the- proposed new county opposite Augusta to mandamus Gov ernor Ansel to refer the papers in the cose to the commission appointed by Governor Heyward on the ground that Governor Heyward in appoint tng the commission Inferentlally passed upon the question of sameness with Heyward county, and which Governor Ansel decided adversely to the Interests of the new county. The court dismisses the petition, holding that Governor Heyward did not even Impliedly pass upon the question of sameness; that this was a point for Governor Ansel to pass upon . after the commission made Its report if he saw fit. The court refuses to dis cuss the question as to whether it could mandamus the Governor in a case like this, foiling to find any question of ministerial duty involved in the case. Governor Ansel has never opposed the proceeding, saying he was glad to have tho court pass upon the questions involved for his future guidance in other new-county con tests, i The decision Is Of great Interest to those who have become Involved or may hereafter become involved in the problems and perplexities 'and complexities of new-county contests. Another decision of much interest td a large number of communities, mostly rural, insuring in mutual Are insurance companies, most of which require the - property-holder sustain ing a loss to wait many months for an assessment to be made before the claim is paid. The law requires no report on; the part of these sort of companies to the Comptroller Gen eral, who has several times sounded a warning to the Legislature along tnis une. Tne case on which tne court has passed Is that of Batson & Walsh, aGreenville firm, against the South Carolina Mutual Insurance Company, the appeal being from the decision of the Circuit Court re versing the magistrate, who decided that the firm could not recover ex cept by '"proceeding in equity to compel an assessment." The Circuit Court reversed this "and rendered Judgment against the defendant for the amount claimed."

Governor Ansel has been asked to provide for another Judge of probate for Chester county, Mr. Blake, re contly elected to that : position; In Slace of Mr. Gulp, deceased, having ecldcd to move out of the State.
