' Food for thought is afforded by this, from The New York .Evening Post: ' "There is plenty of money In the country, and Wall Street Is no looser - aWe to corner the currency market. ' This, from Tho Atlanta Conntltuilon, is a fair sample of the ludicrous nonsense 1 that was tnlked by Southern and West '' ern newspapers.. Just before the financial ' stringency gripped their part ot the country, too. 'the idea that what was happening in the financial centre of the ccmitry was only a flurry' among spec ' ulations had been sedulously cultivated. It kb the comp'-aoent admii Istratlon view f r a time. But the facts have now ' made their way even through the thick 1 . est skull. It is seen that nothing Im so '''fluid and- sensitive as capital; that a greet shock to credit In one part of the country is certain to be reflected else- whr-re. We are ail bound vp In the same bundle, 'financially as well as politically. Jinnee it was thut the honstfulncss of 1hc Western newspapers died on their lips as they saw the conditions In New York reproducing themselves in Chlcagui , end Ban ' Francisco, in Oregon and Okla homa. Wall Street has, of course. Its times of Mmsnless speculation, of which the up and downs may not Immediately KlRnify; but v lien through a long period ' the Wall Street barometer Is sot steadily for foul weather, prudent people every ' where make ready to go in out of the '; rain." When the trouble first made Itself markedly felt In New York The Ob- server hastened to point out its na 'i tlonal proportions and how It had 'been spreading from the very start. Doubtless many newspapers which at iw clearly enough that. this was no muni flnrrv tnlked nthorurlna In i!he bollef that thereby they would per- form a public service. They rightly , placed "Btipreme value upon financial . iconildence and sought to maintain It , at the expense of candor. At the V .very time when Southern and Western ? 4 banks were preparing for a visibly 'approaching storm and money was ' tightening day by day exultant shouts . - that Wall Street must mourn alone ' went up in chorus from most South- em and Western newspapers. This exultation, real or feigned, went on some time after the farmer had found ( ;-, It nearly Impossible to raise money " on his crops, suffering In consequence a total setback in his plans, and mnxt v - .business operations had been placed under a heavy handicap for the time belnf. -Now, at last, there is frank recognition of the facts. The optim ism which those facts, with all their iharahness, abundantly Justify is be ing effectively preached. That tho Bit - uatlon has grown 1lm strained qlnee it stood fully revealed must have been . 1 v remarked by all observers, The fact Is, we very much doubt , .whether well-meant deception serves Its purpose In the great majority of Cases, and we doubt even more wheth ',' er It Is ever morally Justified. All bankers can testify that It Is the igno. . rant or half-Informed people who intensify the trouble In times liko '.'these, and that such people aru only the more alarmed by assurances which lack the note of andor. Let them .; ' Instinctively recognize that something ' "Is being concealeoi from them and their fear will become active. When , tenseness i In the air only explana tions which explain, leaving nothing essential to be scented or to leak out , with explosive effect because of sup - presslon, can long answer the pur--1 poe. People will not unreasonably -conclude that what is considered too 5;. bad for telling, or what Is wlndlly i denied In the face of undeniable fact, must be very ld Indeed. All the .' panic th! country has ever had came; about because fear magnified araall things Into great ones: The tit II r tin VWi m bua had much chance in reach the ditrnin - .. . . . . . - - J , of paole m far as the South Is con- . ej-ned It cannot be called more than ' minor panic even in New York but ; ' we tr wtb-fied from observation that ; M a ' rule there has been least dis turbance and least Interruption to the normal . course 'of business In those communities where greatest candor has prevailed from the first. Denial ' and empty boasting a long as possi ble have not proved expedient. That j. such av course cannot advocafted .Upon Any other ground w are yet V more convinced. Mishandling of fact for purposes deemed laudable does not . belong W real newspaper H distin guished from .personal, factional or party organs, whose political methods almost ' Invariably . wary thtra from simple truth. This question obviously has much , broader scop than rare financial dis turbances.' In particular, It bears upon the marketing of "the South' sreat ! p yar by yr,fchuU newspapers . V.

It seems etrange indeed that there should be any difference - f opinion here, yet In fact quite a few people resent the impartial publica tion of bull and bear arguments with out misleading discrimination against the latter. .They seem to think that the farmer should be held In a species of tutelage and only told what they deem good for him. For our part, we are heartily with , him, ' and would gladly have the Southern business public as a whole with him, in all proper efforts to fe-et good prices for his crop, but we do not think that he ought to be blindfolded.

Let us have an end to It as speedily as possible. .''. SOLOfOX'S IATEST VIXDICATIOX. Kegardlng The Observer's citation of a New York citizen as one who did something new under the sun when he arose In his pew and replied to a pulpit attack upon a friend In public office, The Statesvllle Land mark la reminded of the case of Mr. W. F. Marshall and the Gastonia preacher. "When Mr. Marshall was editing The Gazette," recalls The Landmark, "his pastor, In the course of & sermon, took a iposltlon which the editor did not approve, and at the close of the sermon 'Brother (Mar shall announced from his pew that he would reply to the preacher In the next issue of The flasette and he did. This Is somewhat similar to the New York case." We are very glad Indeed that The Landmark drew upon Its unfailing memory and found a North Carolina precedent. North Carolina can match or outdo almost anything; the declaration by govern ment experts that she possesses great er variety In products of the soli than any other State might well have been extended to Include human conduct. If the truth were known It might well turn out that the nervy New York citizen was born In North Carolina, as Presidents and other men of re markable qualities or good fortune have long had a habit of being. But, after all, the main point enforced by The Landmark's reminiscence la that the New York Incident was nothing new under the sun. We apologise to Mr. Solemon. For the centUUonth time his wisdom has been vindicated. "It is useless to attempt to head off Mr. Bryan by putting up one of his kind like Mr, Tom Johnson," re marks The Durham Herald with char acteristic Insight "iMr. (Bryan Is ad mittedly the best of his kind." Pre cisely so. iMr. Bryan, however shining his virtues and however venial his faults, Is unhappily a Democrat In name only. Now if'Mr. Flnley and his road will only go ahead and grant North Caro lina shippers relief from gross dis crimination, as wo gather from his Charlotte speech that they contem plate doing," the public and the rail roads In this State will soon bo found working together again. SOUTIIKKX MAN FOR PRESIDENT Hani Hap at Northern Democratic Organizations by a Southern News Imi per. Nashville American. There are no Democrats except Mouth of the Ohio. The organizations by that name north or the Ohio are mostly Populists, Soclnlsts, Anarchists and the devil knovs what. As the Democratic imrty nationally ha.s become merely a party of oppo sition, so these people of divers creeds, nationalities and objects. Join tho opposition' under tho name of Democracy. Availability has come to be tho campaign slogan of all parties; capa bility u tn least considered. How much the barrel holds, or how near full any special barrel can b made, Is the determining feature between contending candidate. We take l.MSiie on availability. The convention held In Nashville on Tues day had for Its purpose the placing of a Rout hern msn ns a candidate for President. If the Democratic party, of which the South Is the whole thing, cannot choose of Its own, then It does not deserve the candi date. Why swap awsy the only po litical potency of the . South! solid ity only for availability's sake, con tinually permitting the neloetion of a candidate from aectlons that give him no votes ; ; The South has bwn without a can didate since Mr. Bell, forty-seven years ago. xne Houth has been With out & President since Mr. Polk, sixty years ago. Why wait longer to be In the running? The way t tvsume Is to resumo. Tennessee should send a delegation to the next convention Instructed to , vote for a Southern man. If the balance ef the Demo crats In the convention override this plain proposition In equity, so much the 'worst tor the Democrat.' ' . Ileal Kwltur the Company.

Sweet Is the summer sunset hour. When o'er the past ura green, Eepartlr.g rays, a golden show'r. Are touching er'ry fragrant tlow'r, Along the. foot-path seen. The herd-boy calls: the lowing klne, Across the pasture gaza. Pome to the call do not incline, Tho leader gives an answering sign, And ceases now to graze. 81owly her tinkling bell rings out, Tho herd no longer roam They heed the herd-boy's' rierry shout, Each wanderer hath turn'd about. Tho cows are coming lit me. The path lies through a clover field, With leaf and blossom rare. It Is a rich and tempting field; home straglers linger yet afield, To pluck such dainty fare. Slowly they climb the hillside way, Knt r the barnyard gate. As slowly fades the dying day. The gentle herd without one stray. The milk maid, now await, 'TIs sweet to dream of long 'ago. When through the pastures green, I watch'd the fading sunset glow, Felt summer breeses blow, And homing herds have seen. And now, as twilight shadows ,f fall, I gaso on earth's rich loam, And fHncy hears the herd-boy call; I see the open byrs anl stall, "The cows are coming home." A MODERN TEA PARTY. The following was written in 1897, when thero was a proposition before Congress to put a tax of 10 cents per pound on tea: Quoth Mrs. Malono to Mrs. Mahone; ' A 8 they met at the pump one day, "What's all this palaver And clatter and claver, They'r talkln' about taxln' Tay." Quoth Mrs. Mahone to Mrs. Malone, Kli uro the Dlvil's In all they say, Had lurk to the cratiiupf, Thlm smart Legisluturs On the day they are taxln Tay, Here Mrs. Brown, the scold of the town! Who hnppened to pass that way, . Stood right by the gutter. The words she did utter Were a most astounding say. "It's all about Tay, ye all agree. A tux o' ten cents on the pound, But It's how about !ber? Not u word do I bear, Just t:ll mo now, where ore ye found? "Toxin' and taxln' makes us rich,'?

Chafing Under Manifest Superiority . of North. Carolina fclngers, Patron or Palmetto State Muses Brings . gome Alleged Masterpieces to View. Columbia State.' It Is no wonder that The Norfolk Landmark should go Into ecstasies over a recent example of South Caro lina poetry. "A beauteous bud of true poesy has been burgeoned and burst directly under; the- noses of our South Carolina contemporaries without their uttering a vord of ap preciation," says The Landmark, and continues: "The air' haa. been ; filled with perfume, and the night . with music,' all around them; yet their dull senses have pot perceived. The Landmark s is referring , to : the beau, tlful poem recently appearing ; in The Echo Press, of Monck's Corner, entitled "Failing Wife," which closes with the familiar quatrain, . Years haa, went, and years ha come, Since true affection I have seen; I know there is no place' like home, -y.To, one forsaken Just as me. v . Since the recent ridiculous award of the palm of criticism to that rather amateurish ' and persistently stuck-up . critic. The Charlotte .Ob server, when The Observer evaded the criticism of. "The Dead Clown," we have not had any' too great .re spect for The Landmark's Judgment In matters of' poesy, but its ; quick appreciation of the above radiant gem raise the discredited one In our own estimation. - . This does not, however, mean that w have any apologies to make for not boasting of a production such as "Falling Wife.-.. The fact is that in South Carolina the air Is always "filled with perfume," and "beauteous buds of true poeay" are always bur geoning and bursting here. There Is such an atmosphere of poesy, in fact, that we must be excused from going Into ecstasies such as our Virginia contemporaries naturally fall Into. Let , not The Landmark suppose, for one Instant, that Just because South Carolina critics do not rave and rant and boast over a poem that it Is not appreciated here: . For instance, we do not remember to have seen feny of our South Carolina contemporaries pay the glowing tributes It. moot as suredly deserves to another produc tion older than "Falling Wife." But that by no means means that it Is not appreciated. Just consider tnem for an instant.
