Without professing to understand '-- the -merits of the issues, involved In tha legal controversy between the " Southern Railway Company and tha South 4 Western Railway Company.

But tha admonition of Insurance Commission er Young, a care-taking, alert offi cial, challenges attention. NEW COTTON MILL PLAXXED "REV FJRKN D" THINGS. The Charlotte Observer having asked for help in elucidating the phrase, 'rev erend spirits,' our neighbor, The Vlr-Klnlan-rilot. Ingeniously, explains that the 'reverend.' thus used to indicate that the whiskey Is straight, must have been suggested by the bibulous habits of the colonial clergy of Virginia. Thut is good better than the whiskey. Now. did The Observer ever smell 'a reverend smell?" That phnrse is In perfectly good standing, and so is 'reverend whiskey' (as a phrase). But reverend whiskey certainly does not have a reverena smen any where, and Ha odor Is least reverend or all when It Is on tha breath of the Rev. Mr. cr Dr. Somebody.' Norfolk 1-ana-i murk. Yes. The Observer has smelt "rev erend-' smells They are ranaer man the irreverent article. Hut speaking of "reverend" whiskey some more, me explanation of the origin of the phrase, given by The Vlrglnlan-Pllot. Is supported by a Charlotte minister who told all about It In a recent ser- . 1 . I 1 .1 . U A inon. in tne oioen uuys, no rum, mo ministers, elders and deacons distilled whiskey. In the course of time the elders and deacons began to adul terate their product but the mlnln- ters kept theirs pure, so thut .All the straight, unadulterated whiskey came to be known as "reverend," from the fact or upon the presumption that It was made by a reverend. This Is perfectly plauslblp and accords en tirely with the meaning of the fine old gentleman of whom the Observer told recently, who said, when offered sugar and water, "No. thank you; I'll take "mine reverend" by which he meant with nothing at all In It. We are beholden to The Vlrglnlan- Pllot and the Charlotte minister, but more particularly to the latter, who has niumlnated the subject as no one else has. But why Is a "reverend smell?" of The State was In error about The Chnrlotto Observer. We regret having been led astray but rejoice thut the facts re an tliey are. The Observer had noth- In to ilr with Palmer hnd fluckner In 1K. And while we did not Intend in cluding It among those opposing Instruct ing the South Carolina delegation. It really i so Included. The Observer as sures u of Its entire neutrality In that matter. Columbia State. There Is no rjecd for The Observer to say more upon this subject than that It never occurred to It that ita honorable contemporary purposed dc parting from the exact facts. The Columbia Record Insists thnt Columbia's dust "has been a means of grace, In that It is a tribulation In which we glory; because 'tribula tion worketh patience, and patience, uxperlcnce; and experience, hope; and hope makcth not ashamed.' " But the Columbia dust, unlike Charlotte's, is no worse on Hundays thnn on oth er days; so we reel justified In assert ing that nn equal spiritual reward will not accrue to the South Carolina city.

"Let the Depart ment." urges Th Washington Her ald, "quietly but effectively asphyxiate thla unwise proposition." Well, rath er. There are all sorts of fools, but the fools about etiquette who carry Jf Ir foolishness aa far -as this might themselves be' asphyxiated without much loss to human society. There seems to be an understand ing that Governor Hughes la not a very strong candidate for tha Re pubHcan nomination. The New York convention declared for Jtlm. but per functorily. His delegation will sup port him at Chicago, but half-heartedly. He Is a ft-claes man. clean, able and independent, but ha lacks tha genius of popularity.

Those interested In the move ment are tha following-named I Messrs, W. W.'Hagogd. H. a Hender son, v . a. waiaon, ram vnatnam, JtL. C. Sherrii, J. U Sexton,- John R Pharr. D. H. Anderson. Thomas J.

For the past few months several of these substantial business men of the city have ' been considering the mat ter of establishing a new mill for the purpose of producing a very line quality of combed yarns. Realising that the time to build a mill at a low first cost was during a panic, or the time of business depression, and af ter deciding definitely to undertake it. a few weeks ago the promoters start ed a subscription list around and at this time almost Iwo-thfrds of "the capital stock has been subscribed. A good portion of the balance Is prom ised Just as soon as financial ar rangements can be made. It has been the . Intention and de sire of the promoters of this enter prise not to have announcement maae of their movements until two-thirds of three-fourths of the capital stock was In hand, but In some way The New York- Journal of Commefpe e- cured the item, leading some of the gentlemen Interested to outline their plan In full to The Observer. YARNS FOR MERCERIZING. "After a thorough and exhaustive Investigation," aald one of the promot ers last night, "as to the features con. nected with the manufacture of line yarns In New England and In the South, we decided to engage In the business under the following condl tlons and purposes; "First, to manufacture a class yarns for mercerlxlng purposes from Egyptian and American long staple and sea island cotton (a yarn so far made In very limited quantities In the South), thus diversifying the class of cotton mill products. "Second, to build a mill equipped with the very best and most modern machinery, wire buildings and every equipment especially adapted to spin nlng this class of goods. "Third, to have the capital stock paid in full so as to have the mill pah for and out of debt, and with a cash reserve for a working capital "Fifth, and last, but not the least Important, to build this mill during the coming summer while all material equipment and labor are cheaper than for several years past, and have the same completed and ready for opera tion In the late fall or by the. time business conditions again become normal. WILL BE LARGE MILL. "It Is proposed to start with about 6,000 spindles and other equipment, but build the mill with a view of en largtng to 10.000 or 12,000 spindles. The mill building will be of the latest construction, with hardwood maple floors, and every modern Improvement and equipment t.hat will insure the manufacture of the finest product at a minimum cost. If the plans continue to be carried out successfully, the company will formally organize and apply for a charter within the next few days. "The site haa not been decided up on, but will be strictly a Charlotte concern. The subscription hooks are still open, and stock can he taken through" Messrs. Henderson. Watson, Chatham, Sexton or Sherrlll." Mr. Thomas J. Lillard. who II the prime factor In the establishment of this new concern, was for 14 years secretary and treasurer of the Eikln Manufacturing Company, of Elkln, manufacturers of high grades of cot ton yarns, skeins and chain warps and bnts. Since 1903, he has been serving the Fidelity Manufacturing Company in this city as secretary and treasurer, and la known In textile cir cles as one of the moBt conservative as well as capable, mill men in this section. ADDS TO CITY'S DISTINCTION. The establishment of a mill of the kind proposed will give Charlotte - a still wider notoriety as a central city for the manufacture of cotton in piedmont Carolina. As Is evident by the words of one of the leading pro moters, as above quoted, it will rank with the largest in the .city, and In the product of fine yarns, will stand prac tically alone In North Carolina. The machinery which will be Installed to manufacture this fine variety will be the same as that recently purchased hv Ft. M. Miller, president Of the Elizabeth Mill, and placed In that In stitution for the production of a va riety of yarns from 0s to 100s. The new mill will be fitted with this ma chinery complete, together with every other new device thst has foeen placed upon the market for the production of fine yarns at a low cost, and wlU manufacture exclusively the count between 60s and 100s.

The - ezercisea also Included the reading of the report of the presi dent of the school.. Rev. J. A. Bald win, and the delivery of prises to stu dent, and a parting gift from the school to Mr. N. S. Ogburn, its prin cipal, who will leave for the foreign missionary field, after completing pre paratory work in bis native country. The speaker of the evening was in troduced by Mr. W. C Powd, who re ferred ..with eloquent words to the ability and the fitness of the sneaker, both for advising tha young men and women on such an occasion, and for the leadership of the people of hia State. Mr. Dowd's words were ap plauded loudly, and as Mr. Craig came forward txr begin bis address, b received an ovation from the crowd present, and both students ana visit ors showed thoroughly their appre elation of the man who had come te the school to address them. OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERY BODY. After thanking .Mr. Dowd for the welcome words and the ' appreciative expression which had been uttered, Mr. Craig said, among other things "This is the most favored section of North Carolina. I believe. Up It the mountains, where I live, we have beautiful scenery and the charms of nature, but down here you have tne climate, which Is of so great import ance, and while the east, too. haa Its broad, rich stretches of land, yet the Piedmont action of North Carolina cannot be excelled for the wonderful climate with which It has been en dowed by nature. I believe, also, that Charlotte Is the centre of the Indus try and the cotton manufacturing bus iness of the South. You say there are about 300 mills In the State, against only 01 some IS years aso. I say tnat there ought to be ,000 mill in the State to-dav. And I would add that the man who has invented the vari mu devices to lessen labor in the cot ton mills and enable a few to do the work of many, is not taking labor away from the laborer, but Is leaving for all people of all time a neruago that will last forever. This haa been occomnllfthed by the Intellect. "The human body is limited in Its movementa and In Its powers, dui tne Intellect is unlimited. Where some 40 e-lris once were required to do the work of spinning and weaving, the work may now be done by two or three." Mr. Craig referred eloquently to the part that the Industrial student Is playing in the world of progress. "I am assured." he said, "that there are no ugly women In North Caro lina. And this reminds me of the Joke of the- late Sam R. Jones, wno said that the ugliness In the ugly wo men of Georgia was on skin deep. Wall '."tenlied an 01a jarmer, inai being the case, you'd better skin my, wife., f 'Book-learning is onlv skin deep," he applied, "because the man who made that thing wbtch can harness the loom has don as much, if not more, for the woria. man tne man who knows all about fluadratle equa tions, Greek. Latin and Hebrew, as the Immortal Vance said, 'It Is well to teach our boys to say. Instead of hie haec. hoc; gee. haw, buck.- ... I want my boys to work In a cot ton mill." added Mr. Craig. "It Is the great Industry of the fouth. Instead of 300 cotton mills we should have 3.000 mills In the isouth. Our cotton trade as yet only skirts along the eastern shore of our country, but the time should come when every pouna of cotton raised in the world should be manufactured in America. . MONEY WILL COME BACK. "I don't like especially the Standard Oil .Company," said Mr. Craig, 'but Mr. Rockefeller did a great service to humanity when hi put 800,000 lamps and 400,000 chimney In the darkened country of China. He did a great good when he carried the gospel of light to that country, but' those far away countries prefer the good that can come from Charlotte more, than from elsewhere, Minister Wu-has said that If we add an Inch to a Chinaman' shirt we will double the sale of our cotton goods. Tha money that we in vest In cotton mill here comes back tons. We have the climate and we ought to manufacture every pound ef cotton grown on our soil." Mr. Craig spoke of the financial panic and said that he knew the times were haro. LUt we nope ror Detter than we are now having. The times will get better because behind It all we have the Indomitable courage of the American people. - Our people do not spend as' much a their Income amounts to and we are therefore building up. We are not pessimists, We look to the future with hope. The fabric of this government cannot be destroyed. - . - Mr. Craig paid high compliment to Mr." W. C. Powd, representative in the State Legislature, for his great service to the State and Mecklenburg county In that body. "He served ably and wisely,'- said trfe speaker, "and took a conspicuous part In the delib erations of that assembly." These remark brought forth loud applause. Mecklenburg county, "the - first of all in 1776." was also the subject of loquent remark . from the speaker. She ha her King Mountain and behind ' her are the great men : of American history.' Speaking again of the great cotton mill Industry Mr. Craig said that he had heard the music of the mountain storm and had listened to the roar of the thundering ocean, but the greatest music of all to him ad to tha South was the melody made by the hundreds' of loom In our favored sec tlon He recalled - having een in a manufacturing . eetabliahment the making of a counterpane Ave miles long and hi son had asked: ''Where doe that toboggan run to?", UNSELFISHNESS BEAUTIFUL. "I want to ea the time come," spoke Mr. Craig, "when every man hall get what ha haa earned. That is the law of justice and the law of civilization. Tha unselfish ' part of life I .the beautiful part of life. If I have said a word to any boy or girl in my hearing to-night that will help them to a better and higher living I hall feel that my coming to 'Char lotte has not been ta -vain. "MahjP In X&tz audience dheaTa" Mr. Craig last night doubtless attend ed tha closing exercises of the school because he was a prominent candidate- for Governor of the State, but they were disappointed if they ex pected ' a political speech. Not : one time did he refer to politics In hi address, which lasted perhaps an hour, although It was easily discern ible that he had many admirer in the crowd. , . . The climax of the evening came when Rev. J. A. Baldwin, ta hi clos ing speech to the audience, stated. after referring feelingly - to the 1m mortal Vance that' "we have with us here another man of tbs mountain on whose shoulders shall " fall the mantle of Vance." This was receiv ed with prolonged applause. It needless to add. that Mr. Craig more than met tne expectations of the p pie who heard him. f SENATORS A8 DELEGATES. A Saggeexloa That Mew re.
