FRIDAY, MAY I, 08. soctherx publishers xext. ' The next public event In the life of Charlotte will be the. meeting- on the J lth and 10th of May of the South ern Newspaper Publishers' Assoc la tlon, which will come here on these date hy .Invitation or the Greater Charlotte Club, extended to It at its meeting In Richmond a year ago this month. . Th composition of this body la Indicated by 1U title. It is an as sociation of publishers of Southern daily, newspapers and of editors where editor and publisher unite In en paper. It is a young association - and has held its successive meetings ia Atlanta, Charleston. Montgomery and Richmond. Its Charlotte meeting being the fifth. Edgar M. Foster, of Th Kashvill Banner. Is the presl dent, and Victor H. Hanson, of The Montgomery Advertiser, secretary and treasurer. Its membership comprises a line lot of gentlemen, with promi nent newspaper connections, and it Is very dealrable that they should see and know Charlotte. The Invitation to meet here was heartily accepted, and ih members of the association will be heartily received. They need have no fear on that score. THE GltEATEST BENEFIT OF ALL While. Charlotte was delighted to have the editors come last week and hav them stay, and sorry to see them go. It is apparent from the col tunas of their papers. that the chief benefit to accrue from their-visit will be Jo North Carolina In general. This Is well. Those who have thus far spo ken have been cordial In their praise of the city, but (t is evident that they were Impressed most of all with the roads around it, and their writings about these must necessarily tend to the upbuilding of a good roads senti ment which must be immensely help ful to the State. In that. If there were nothing else, the meeting will have , Justified itself. There is nothing re markable about the methods by which th Mecklenburg roads have been built. They have come by the little-by-lltti process; a few miles this year and a few mile next. Th road tax baa not been burdensome aad has already been returned an . hundred fold while the roads are here and will stay. Almoin any other county can have the same sort of system If it will; but In order to do so It must make a beginning and work steadily and systematically to ward the, end desired. One could, wish no more for North Carolina than to see It a network of good country roads and the editor1 ; who doe moat for their construction is Its beat friend. THE PASSING OF lUISlM. The cables bring the news that ur old friend Ralsull la dead. It will be remembered that whenever tblf Interesting Moroccan wished to replenish his finances he would woop down from his famm-MM-a in the hills and carry off eonv foreign .. resident as a subject for ransom; and If 'Morocco had to pay the Mil he wag - especially pleam d. Kalaull. in , fact, was terribly "agin the govern ment." and always dignified hi ralils by ascribing them largely to politi cal motives. His first noteworthy achievement along, this line was, as every on will recall, the capture of len Perdlcaris. a wealthy American citUeu of Qreek origin 'thenme-fftrt in , Morocco. Perdlcaris. like . all ' Baisull's captives, regained hi free. ; dont an unbounded -admirer of the nobla barbarian; and. Indeed, this bandit chief seems to have been somewhat of en kind with th dark ly magnificent and , stormy-aouled freebooters found in . Byron's Orlen , tal story-poma It may be that with him dies a tradition. 'Alas, poor RaUuli! . Tba Wild Man from Bornwo, other IJ the Low Combed Rooster of the Oxarka, was a fin In his second sen atorial performance, Wednesday, as b waa In his firet. several weka ago. It is a Joy to see that -beating him p la Arkansas and ehaaing him around the streets doe riot wither - Km nut custom stale- his tnfrnfrrrra- nety. His senatorial term has just begun and If his mortal f ram holds out against attacks upon It he win, during- th five years ia the Senate remaining to him, make life worth l'v'.rf to his colleagues la that body. t t galleries, and all th balance eft. . ' ; ' , A VERY 3UlOXEOrS4flPOiVrV ' A story arnt out from Spartanburg, 8. C. some days ago, made the lm presslon that "at a t representative meeting' of cotton manufacturers' of North aad i South . Carolina, held in that city. It ' had been decided - that the mills of thes GUtea should ahut down, and that the understanding to thla effect was aeneral. This . ia total misapprehension of the facta. In reference to this matter. The Mill News, of Charlotte, said In Jts issue of yesterday: ; "In rgard to Jhat rea oiution or agreement to close a own. wc ir pleased to note that som of th most representative' manufactur ers of thia State and South Carolina have explained '. that they , were; not parties to any such agreement . and do not expect to shut down their mills as above reported." Ifmentlons The Charleston News and Courier as hav Ing published the original statement but as having explained in its lasue of Tuesday "that tha agreement seemed to affect only a few mill in tha vicinity of Spartanburg, and vent on to publish Items from Anderson, Greenville, Darlington, Rock Hill and other places In South Carolina where It waa stated no auch stoppage waa anticipated. It also quoted Mr. Lew Is W. Parker, who represents mora spindles and looms than any other man in that State, as 'earing that he did not know anything about the meeting in Spartanburg till he saw it in the papers." Certainly no such understanding aa that indicated obtains In North Caro lina and we do not suppose that on mill in this Stat will shut down aa. a result of the Spartanburg meeting. Nobody denlea th fact that the cot ton mill Industry is In a depressed condition but it Is not to be Improved by representing it aa worse than It is. VETS IX THE SOCTH'8 SIGHT. That "social equality" demonstra tion In New York a few days ago waa, of course, Intended primarily to stir up the, South. Very likely, most of the white participants were anl mated by a spirit of mischief and nothing more. New York -has, to be sure, cranks of all sorts among its four million people, and some of the particular sort whom we shall call humanists for lack of a better term helped make up the gathering; of these x waa the editor of The -Inde pendent, who favorably discussed ra clal Inter-marrlag as on solution of the "race problem" but without advo cating it In so many words. New fork also has abundant white per sons of the lower sort from many lands who might have been utilised to Increase their ' race's numerical showing as much ' as desired. But whatever the precise nature and pro portion of th Ingredients, the mix ture and Its fermentations can be nd should be dismissed with slight notice. The South failing, to grow at all noisily indignant,, the demon stration will hav quite failed of Its purpose. Social equality between the races will not have, been brought forward as a serious possibility, visi bly impending, of which the South stands in nervous dread. Such ef forts. In short, are to excite a tumult which can be Interpreted as an in voluntary admission; and .they will quite fail of their purpose If the tumult does not arise. The law of gravitation:. Is not In danger and neither are the soclo-racial Institu tions of tha South or th United Btates. . Let this section, therefore, refrain from a noise-making which can only create the opposite Impres sion, If, Indeed, It creates any serious mpreasion at all. The Republican national conven tion of l04 waa the merest ratifica tion meeting, and th cry. "Perdlcaris live or Ralsull dead," was exceed ingly convenient as an enthusiasm maker. Now Ralsull la dead in ad vance and it forms not the slightest I matter of public concern whether Perdlcaris is alive or not. Thus are the Republican convention's resources diminished unless, or course, some! other bandit should break loos In Morocco or elsewhere In tlm for convention purposea We are glad to read that Innocent Bystander-McCleary, who waa hit .by one of Representative Heflln's wild p bullets on Pennsylvania avenue, now has an asMiired prospect of recovery. To avoid such mishaps In future. It might be well to establish a pistol gallery at the Capitol for the Im provement of Heflln-style Congress men's marksmanship. Before and for' one presidential lection afU-r Mr. Bryan becam th Democratic party his own Stat of ebraska went Democratic. We do not hear anybody claiming that h can carry It to-day. Mr. Dry an is a mighty man with conventions, but hla limitation--ai Yrt.xmtr rtl certainly marked. Th result of tha Republican State convention yesterday-waa as expect ed-j-Taftlt from top to bottom and through and through, scant courtesy to the opposition and th devil tak th hindmost -. - It is a pleasure to not that th league baseball season Jn Charlotte got off on both feet yesterday. But still it didn't get OS right for Char- lott. , ' Thanka to Pennsylvania's endorse ment. Senator Knox now gets In th alao-running claa. J. W. a.
