In his specJi at the Bryan three dollar dinner a few nights ago, Hon. ' John Sharp Williams aaid: "But to attain ucce mean charity In leadership; huoillity in leailersl-'p. XTfise thmgs we have tn Mr, Bryan. We can agree about enough tiling with Mr. Vryan to, keep the Democratic party v. from going to death or decay." jr.- . ... It is to be noted In passing that the views of Mr. Williams and those of Senator Daniel as to the charity and humility of Mr. Bryan's leadership are widely at variance, and that Mr. Williams went on to express his conviction that "the best chance for cohesion and for combative strength lies In the nomination of Mr. Bryan," and comforted himself as to this sit uatlop by declaring that we need rad icals to keep the conservatives go ing and that Mr. Bryan will be "safe and sane," but only not so "safe and sane" as to put a stop to progress. Furthermore; "When I advocate the nomination of Mr. Bryan. 7 am iiHlti-d If lie will not b defeated. Mnvbe lip will, hut lot mt ask e-n1her question: Who ntnnls a tetter chance of not being ckfcatcl?" It occurs to us that this Is not quite the question. The country will see to It that Mr. Bryan if nominated Is defeated an1 .Mr. Bryan and his fol lowing will see to the defeat of any body else, Just a they did to that of Judge Parker. It is not a matter of wlf would most certainly oe defeated or of who would stand the best cnance oi not neing ceioaiea out or v what candidate after defeat would - leave the party in best position to ral ly for the next contcHt. Of course this would depend also largely upon the platform and as Mr. Bryan Is his , own platform he i manifestly not that candidate. ROME VIEWS OP DR. WILSON. In an article in The New Tork Times Dr. Woodrow Wilson, the president of Princeton University, deiflnes In scath ing language the political and ln-lus-tml conditions which made possible the recent panic in financial circles. "Our currency system," he says among other thngs, "is almost the poorest In the world." "Mr. Itooe- ' Velt's plan for government control 1 only depriving the people or their . right to operate the business ,-f the ""country." And again: "I charge the " present financial panic to the aggres ,,. rive attitude of legislation toward the railroads, that made It Imposaiula for them U borrow money:" VPr. Wilson Is a tig enough mun to ' fce the bead of one of thj greatest ed - ucatlonal Institutions of tho country and jto have been sertauvty cinv&tsed ltt connection with the Democratic . nomination for President of the Unit 4 States. He Is patriotic citizen, a ' scholar, a thinker and aa upright man not W Aflnl, mollycoddle, an undesirable ottlsen or a malefactor el great wea.j and hfs . words, what- , ever the subject of lJs 'Mscourae, tie serve to c,arry weight . The Supreme Court of Indiana has handel dow n opinion In which It affirms v lower court's findings to the effect that French Ivick and West Ba den Springs wtre largely tised as gambling resorts We confidently as sume that Mr. Thomas Tagjftrt, pre prktor of these gilded joints, will not bo re-elected chairman Of the De.n- . rM riJ-nt,- cinTnltteejnext jyeaf y i ::r. n-a-.it a. :.rur.s--y tiUs in an explosively ara matic manner how ho 'built . up V-la now great publish' n$ business from almost nothing: "I bonpht paper on tlmo, I boimbt vpr'thingr 1 could on tlm& The very audacitv of it all pave m ere'llt, and more and more credit all the while. But merciful heaven, how thn bill foil due. how the note fell duet The cry from in town and out of town, from men on th road, and from all the four eorners of the earth, and. In a thousand voice, was money, money, money! The whole world had gone money mad. We were living over a powder mine and everv minute brought a sensation brought doiena of them, brought one hot upon another. "Five years of poverty, five yeart of awful tru$rtle. and now the earth was mine rich at last, richer than I had ever dreamed of being a thousand dollar a week net, and every week adding to it bv leap and hounds fifty thousand dol lar a year and all mine next week al ty thousand! then seventy. ad a hun dreda milllfn, mnybo great heavens, and U waa all real! "Then tha powder mine, the dynamite, the explosion, failure, disgrace, a for tune swept away, and all for the want of ready money to carry on the work. Gambling? No, never for a minute.

"Put the money to work It out. thou nndu o? dollar everv day? Where could I get it? How, could I a-et It? And t meant rlche, power, position, the world, the rreat Ma world' "With all these thoughts, the feel Inr. - and a thousand other, and tha work end the eneraiaina; of everytndy. the enthusing of everybody, and "the ten ulna anti Intensity of It all, it wa one rmt. disty, daaillng, glorious intoxica tion." . . The New Tork stock exchange and the Chicago board of trade's -wheat pit seldom sea riskier speculation than this, Mr. Munsey may well hare felt "gloriously intoxicated." That he had the building up of a per fectly legitimate business as his aim makes no essential difference, for did not E. H. Harriman and John W. Gates have the same? He can be dis tinguished only from the speculator who i nothing but a speculator. To be sore, tha men named are not re motely comparable to him in point f character, while In audacity and herculean labor he fairly compares with them. The important fact is that his Strenuous speculation was successful. Mindful of the esteemed Josh Bil lings declaration shout never argy ing agin success, we shall do no more than remark that there must have been time after time when a very I overthrown his whole structure Mn j house-of-carl fashion. Had he en h PHod as the pres- been averted. Granted that he not only brought to his scheme great en ergy, ability, courage and enthusiasm hut was filled with an Idea saw something ' new which the public wanted and would buy yet without altogether exceptional good fortune he could never have pulled through. It was his good fortune which saved him. Sometimes men launching enter prises of modest proportions take chances as long as Mr. Munseys and win out, but much more often they find cause for regret. Where they possess qualities like Mr. Munsey's we would hardly have them discour aged, whether their schemes be large or small, for it Is such men who have done most to make this country great. But nobody should forget that for every strenuous schemer who makes a brilliant success many fail miser ably; that the whola country pays dearly for their performances at times current events abundantly dem onstrate. In the Jong run safe and sane methods beat the other kind at least nine times out of ten, and this Ig a point which all would dj well to remember. JOVOl'S XrTWS FOIl KrX-KDTt Toac0 csinw. Whether with an Observer new tory in its mind we cannot say. The Associate r.efonmed Presbyterian de clares concerning the Southern Be ceder Synod's anU-tobaeco action that "some one who did not know the truth or who considered the truth uninteresting gave a false version of the matter." The Synod, according to what is given as the true version, merely passed this resolution: "That the patron of the college (Pue WmI) may reasonably expect thb prp?l denl i)d (acuity to assume such a posi tion In rfStnrd to-the un of tobacco, especially the cluarttc, a will nalilo them to discourage It ns", nnrt onabl" tf-rm to fay to the student body: 'Tho thlnn which ve have both learned end received urid heard and anen in me, do.' " in this resolution pastors were in cluded by anfendnient. No actual leg hliitlon on the subject was passed and consequently nobody stands in danger of being excommunicated. With all due respect for The As ociaie Keiorniea rresoyterian we deem It proper to say thri. The Ob server' Information came from a source no whit less trustworthy than The A. R. p. itself. Quite possibly, as often happens in large delibera live bodies, many delegatesisundt'r stood the precise nature of the ac tlon that was being taken; quite po- ilbly mlounderstandtng prevailed to such an extent as to render the pro ceeding morally Invalid. It may be for even official minutes are fal llble that nobody can say with en tire certainty just what was done. Without expressing any opinion as to wh,ere the mistake In. this case lies we cheerfujly concede that The A.R. P.'s report ' enjoys such an - official status as would go. far toward mak. Ing Us alleged faicts accepted facts irrespective of jhelf , correctness. Con sequent! no one need fear excommu hlcatlon and all . the' elder , go scot' We" eannot say'ho'W .m'Uch we are gratined with this outcome v of the matter on Elder Hemphill's account If The A.

The Nw and Courier office tefore Tbanksgiv ing Day be must have had a Thanks tlvlng Day Indeed. cr ; '. siit:ru;j th-v" re;; "And r:1k!nr ai..t I-'.: : x cotton, we Ifiieve it is one of th i:rt pi luciLit-s of the l'armi'rif' Union, which is li.ictt of the movements that the man who holds his cotton for better prWs r.iust flrt of all take care of hia obligations. Th;s the farmer must do if they want to re tain public sympathy in the fight they are making. If a farmer hit maJe dcibt due on the first of Novemher, or on any other day. he should arranse for the payment) of those debts if It la in hi power to do so. If he wants to hold hi cotton that i hia privilege, but he should by all means pay his dofcU while he is doing it - .Holding eotton Is .Im portant, but the preservation ' of honor and one's good n?jne is more Important." All of which la very good doctrine, endorsing which The Greenville, S. C., News says; 'Our contemporary holds m correct view of It. A farmer who ewes money to a merchant should not speculate on the cotton which he has to sell without first getting the Conient of the man to whom he i indebted. , In a. majority of cases the merchant stands ready and willing to assist the farmer in everv wav possible to hold up the price of cotton, nut in merchant is entitled to the pri vilege of a say-so in the matter. Tea, i holding cotton is Important but the 1 preservation of honor and one's good nam is more Important' " And The Richmond. Times-Dispatch foltonas with, these equally wholesome remarks; "By nil means lt the farmer mut hi obligations promptly to the country mer Chant in tTder, that the country mer chant may pay the manufacturer and we joooer; and the manufacturer and lowxer pay the Southern banker: and the Southern banker pay his obligations to bis Northern correspondents, thereby preserving the high-credit that the South ha always maintained in order that credit may be freely extended In turn to the Southern former, merchant and manufacturer next spring to carry on the good work of development" Certainly our contemporaries are correct in their preposition ; that a man Should not husband his convert ible assets while others are suffering for the money her owes them, and a farmer should not withhold his cotton from market awaiting a rise In price, when the pries Is already fair, while he owes money which his creditors need. But we submit that the whole of the lecture should not be directed to th farmers. There era other peo ple who owe debts which they couM pay but which they are not discharg ing, because In the panic period now happily passing It has been In fashion to suspend payment whenever pos sible, thus contributing to the tight ness of the money market We sus pect that the farmers have Tehavd about as well In the circumstances as any other class. Certainly In this immediate section they have sold a great deal of cotton within the past thirty days and applied the proceeds to their obligations.- What they do with the residue of their crops, after their matured obligations are, paid, wheth er they sell or hold. Is nobody's af fair but theirs. THE PANIC PERIOD PASSED. There has been within the past week a marked easing up In financial matters. All the Intelligence from the financial centres of the East and West is to this effect and the fact is found In 'local communities In all sections. It Is felt In North Carolina as well as elsewhere and Is conspicuously so here In Charlotte, where the banks are again lending money freely and all business is flowing In Us natural channels. In all parts of the country crops are moving rapidly, confidence is returning, and it Is a reasonable ex pectation that within a week condi tions will be normal It was a; best a senseless panic. There' was never so much money In the United Suites as there Is now, and there was never anything more contradictory than this temporary stringency, with abundant cash in the banks and In the pockets of the people, the earth laughing with plenteous harvests, the cotton of the South selling at ten cents and the rise and the wheat and corn of the West commanding corresponding prices. There was pernaps never before a financial scare, with money seeking cover, under corresponding conditions conditions pf abundant money, am ple crops selling at profitable prices, arid abounding prosperity 1n every de partment of business and industry. But few wrecks have boon left upon the shore and there is nothing cow but the readjustment, while we look back upon the events of the past month in wonderment as to why they should have ever been. 'In tho next campaign." said Mr, Bryan tn his speech at New Haven Frllay, "the Democratic platform will be progressive, definite, positive and one the people can read "and understand. We have had In the past," he said, "platforms which read one way before election and another way after election. The people were betrayed." . We wonder twhen thai was and who It was that betrayed the people. The allegations are so grave that they ought to be made ape clflc. With cotton decidedly on the up grade again, the holding movement Will doubtless gain fresh impetus, It has more than one been proved that a trend this way agrees bert with the nerves and there are increatrlnglv good reasons for regarding. pretty stiff prices as the proper thing this year. The (cancellation fever Appears to have very largely subsided, especially in the dry goods trade a highly era 1 1 fying feature of the general business situation.

Tho Observer: In The Charlotte Observer of No vember 27th." I notice some ? state ments in regard tothe future of The BiDiicai Kecoraer . wnicn were xouna ed on rumor. . I represented the-directors of The Recorder Company In, the negotiation with Mr. Oates and, thereforo. know what waa;t'4e action of the directors. , . v ' ' i First, It is not the purpose of the stockholders to materially augment the number of stockholders at the coming Convention,- nor- "to secure the financial. Interests of . a large per cent of the leading Baptist ministers and laymen of .the State" Some : of the-stockholders, own large amounts of stock and H may be that they will sell some of their stock, but ho effort will be made at the Convention In this direction. if . the ? number of stock holders is Increased, as will Ukely be the case, I can assure alt interested parties that the stock will not be watered. - ' Second, the price of the paper will not - be increased from It. 50 to $2. It Is the earnest desire of the stock holders to make the very best Paper possible at the price now being charg ed, vis: i t l.W. . If the denomination will give Jo the paper under the new arrangement loyal and liberal pat ronage, the directors feel confident that they can meet the expenses of the paper' at the, present "price. Third, the directors t at'none of their meetings have discussed the editorship of - the paper.- They will suggest to the Convention a plan by wnicn a more vital, organic conneo tlonv may be formed between' the Con vention -and the paper. If this sug gestlon is adopted, it will practically give to the Convention the power to controt the policy and editorial man agement of, the paper. Of course, when a transaction of this kind Is made there Is always a great deal of speculation as to the fu ture of the enterprise, but the above is a statement of the action taken by the directors of The Biblical Recorder publishing company. . . . I may say in closing that the stock holders of The Recorder Company bought The Recorder seven years ago because the convention passed a reso lution expressing, the desire that the paper should be owned by a ,, Joint stock company. Believing It to" be tor yie oest interest of the denomlna Hon, the company has bought The North Carolina Baptist. Financial considerations did not influence them In either, of these purchases.

The Secretary explained that there was such, a large number of bids that to make any deductions as to the lowest price at which the bonds would be awarded was manifestly impossible to-night.
