Not long ago a local paragraph ap peared In The Observer to the effect that a Charlotte lady was rejoicing ' over, raspberries, tomatoes, chrvsa,n themums, roses and violets taken from her garden on tne llth of Jfo- , vember. This statement has stirred une uoiumma jstate e always simmer ing local pride to boiling point "For Charlotte's three flowers," breaks out The State explosively, "Columbia has more than two score to show. The third day following the publication of tne aoove paragrapn in tne vnariotte open air in Columbia were casually noted in a single walk covering some ten blocks and skirting one or two email gardens. The result of that . "harvest of a quiet eye' -was that more than ' twenty-three flowers were re corded. No effort was made to make the census of our flowers at all com ' plets. Only one small garden was entered and one church close most of the flowers being observed during 4 stroll in the streets. The State tails this muster-roll: 'X?hryanthe raums, violet (end of Charlotte's list), lilac, oleander, smilat, petunias, . salvia, canna, marlg61ds, crab apple, fragrant olive, Ume (Japanese plum), Japanese honeysuckle, four-o'clocka, asters, ageratum, eupatorlum, mig nonette, geraniums, verbena, morning-glory, evening-glory, or moon vine." There follows a1 floral rhap sody, concluding which it Is declared that "we should not stop the care of the garden with the coming of fall or of winter, but keep on, planting flow er that will enrich the air of every morning with perfume and the sun light with radiance." ' With this beautiful love of native heath The Observer feels a sympathy which renders reply difficult. We ' shall not Intimate that any Item, In The State's floral exhibit was perhaps only a flower of the Imagination; we hall not even point out that Char lotte's list might easily have been ex tended several t!ms over had the compiler gusd that the kast rival ry was to arise. No. Instead of such a course we entr the plea nolumus contendere are unwilling to con tend. The State's local pride 1s too laudable, and. besides, we feel no shame In admitting that South Caro lina Is, for the most part, further sooth than North Carolina. The people of Beaufort are yery desirous that the sliver service which the State will present to the armored cruiser North Carolina be presented In Cape Lookout harbor. It is repre sented that the big watshlp can make this harbor without any risk and that the trip by boat from Beaufort would be easy and pleasant for all who might desire to attend. "Such an ar rangement would obviate the neces sity of holding the ceremony In wa ters outside the Htate, presumably either at Norfolk or Charleston. We , well know that the navy officials are very careful Indeed whers they send big ships, but it the plan, upon due Investigation, proves feasible, we should be greatly pleased to see it carried out s The report from Lexington In yes terday's Observes that the Southern Railway will resume double-tracking north of Danville within the next few weeks was good Indeed. We await a confirmation with much Interest and trust that .not only will the story prove true but that it means, a r. sunrption of similar work In North Carolina before very long. ' From yesterdays Observer It was to b seen that the fieeders of the Bouth have, passed An order against the use' of tobacco by ministers, el ders, deacons, professors and college presidents, - On Elder Hemphill' ac count wt earnestly hope that the next Synod will make an exception hi favor oft newspaper meflj ' The compulsory water wagon Is so pre-eminently the band ; wagon for f outhera politician these days that the scrambling and : pushing fcv Irnt downrlgha unseemly.

When the panio forced the withdrawal of these credits it made a great burden for the Southern farmer, and there was no other producing element In the South then except-the farmers.''. ' In the panic of 1SJ J it -was the other way. The South had overthrown the corrupt government of the car pet-bag days and had in some little degree retrieved something of its fat ten- fortunes. Everybody was at work and the panic made little Impression. This city was more fortunate perhaps than any other, in having a -working population who managed to keep on working, and consequently Charlotte folk forgot the panto long before the people of many other sections. Now comes the panic of 1907. Bo far this city has withstood the storms most handsomely. No clearing house certificates have been issued nor any other expedient adopted In order to keep the pot bllin," and work peo ple have continued at work. Unsold cotton held In the country is a reserve asset which Is being Very little drawn upon. It is not Intended here to brag, when the noise of the storm can still be heard In the vanishing distance, but the intention, is rather to suggest that we all do now as we did in 1893, to wit: Keep at work, pay our debts, thus turning money loose and keep ing It in circulation, and forget all about the recent little financial Jolt. Whenever the people become more absorbed In their work than Jn panic matters then the panic Is over. The Atlantic deeper waterways con ference Just held at pnnaaeipnia marks an Important step toward re sults of Immense benefit to the coun try. The conference's action in form ing a permanent organization under the name of Atlantic Deeper Waterways Association was especially important. Our inland seaboard water route will be effectively advocated. We should be even more gratified, however, had Speaker Cannon and Representative Burton, chairman of the House rivers and harbors committee, been present as enthusiastic conferees. Mr. Bryan's views upon present matters flnancls! display a quite char acteristic failure to grasp the situa tion. We will not repeat them here, for we could but Join In the ridicule which they have awakened m many quarters, and that -would be unkind. If the distinguished Nebraskan had been caught young a ground-work for future mastery of financial questions and other matters concerning practi cal statesmanship might have been laid in even his peculiarly vagarious mind, but It Is clearly too late nowJ S The Observer's New Special Writer.

The most Interesting and Impor tant announcement in newspaper c!re! In this State recently was that of The Oarlotte Observer to tne er fect that Rev. Plato Durham, for merly pastor of Trinity Methodist church, at Charlotte, has been ad ded to its already brilliant staff. This announcement means much. For The Observer It means that it will be brightened and strengthened by the work of jne of the broaJest, freshest and mot original minds In the State, or the South.

To the Editor of The Observer: In this afternon's lain n ti, Charlotte News, under the heading Live News From Oastnnla," appears the following Item; "Oantonla banks have at last followed the example set by many banks in this section 'and they, too, are paying for cotton with scrip." This statement la false In everv tlcular, there helng absolutely no truth In it whatever. The ttaatnnia banks have not paid for any cotton with scrip, have met all demands in cash, and have never even thought of Issuing scrip for any purpose. RANKER. Oastonta, Nov. 21st, 1907.

But K iwaa a oifferept tale to tell iseveral years ago when, with pop ulation of leas than half the number It is now, the town eupproted about twenty saloons. Is the world getting better?. It seeme that this immedl ate area is. Nowadays a drinking man does not Jiave the respect of thla population. He will not be tolerated and when he partakes of the intox icant too freely he realizes that the atmosphere in these diggings is not suited to his style and he either cuts out boose or takes his departure to more congenial surroundings. Mr. Robert Hairwton has returned from a short stay near Walnut Cove, where he was with his cousin, Mr. Peter W. Hairwton, of Erwle county, who was injured several days ago.

The advance which North Carolina has made within the past twenty years Is marvelous. Her cotton In dustry has grown from forty-nine mills in 1890. with fc capital of l. 000,000 to 318 In 1907, with a capi tal of SsO.000,000, employing more than 50,000 hands. In 1190 the capital Invested In the tobacco Industry was less than 16.000.000; to-day it is $16,000,000, with a yearly output valued at $28, 000,000. There has been similar advance In other branches of trade and Industry, North Carolina has no large cities, but it has what is better an unusu ally large number of towns, each of which l a trade centre for a rich farming community. She has many, natural advantages, bat her progress Is due to the enterprise, industry and ability of her sons, whose patriotic devotion Is her most valuable asset and her crowning glory. , , . !fot Serb Faj Marks Thought, Columbia State.
