3 CHARLOTTE DAILY OBSERVER, JUNE 1, 19G3. J. r. CALDWEU : pnbuabcn. ft. A, .""T ; . MOXDAY, JOTE 1, 0S. : ASSETS NOT IKPEDDJEXTS. Jt la only thr' week from n Wednesday until ' th j Democratlo State convention, and really If the American Tobacco Company and the Southern Railway Company, both of .which, aa la learned from Candidate Utchln. are o violently opposed to him. "are golng-to do anything to him, 1t i UBia Ihey were getting busy, V; Durham la the North Caro lina headquarter of the former. The Durham county primaries and con vention hav been held and the coun- 'ty Tote on the governorship will be divided in the Bute convention In this proportion: Craig .81, Kltchin 7.11, Home Ml. According to a recent Utement of Mr. J- S. Manning, Mr. Kltchin' manager, the vote for Mr. Borne was gotten in two wards of the ity of Durham by a supporter la each. It chus appears that but for the exertion of these gentlemen. neither of whom has any relations with the tobacoo trusc, the vote v. -it smiiii have been nraxtl any unanimous vfor Mr. Kltchla. Where was the American Tobacco Company when the Durham prima ries were being held and what was It doing? " " " The voting strength of the South ern Railway Company In North Caro lina la massed at Spencer. The vote n the governorship In the recent primary at Spencer was cast almost unanimously for Mr. Kltchin. Why waa not the baleful influence of the railroad company present snd at work among Its employes? ' Jt sometimes looks as if neither of these giant corporattan li aware of the existence of Mr. Kltchin. No body can find a reason why either should worry about hlni. He has never done either of them any harm; there Is nothing in his record to show It. He has talked about them, It 1 true, but talk. Is cheap and his talk was not to hurt them but to help himself. It is true. also, that he poke and voted against the Southern Railway mall subsidy but he aid not defeat H; nothing that he supports prevails and nothing that he opposes falls; Congress voted the subsidy and j the railroad voluntarily took off the j train before the appropriation was xhausted. If the Southern Railway Company Is fighting him on account f his opposition to the mall subsidy : why Is it not also fighting Bepresen- j tatives Page and Webb, who also voted against it? Or Is It? If so hv are not aoing around whining about It. gouthern Railway Company! American Tobacco Company! ,' Rot! -108 COTTOX, AND A MOIiAu. " The other day we took note of a ....... nowananitr'a eatlmate ICMUing wu"."-. " , f - from reports gathered with some care that cotton acreage had been j slightly decreased. Now comes The L- rw I urn jwui " v Whose crop estimates en.'oy the highest reputation of any unofficially made, and declares the acreage 1.9 per cent, greater than last year's. Upon the basis of reports from 1.400 special correspondents The Journal of Commerce comes to this conclu sion and also finds that the condition on an average date of May 22d was . 78. or ten points better than at the same time last year. Slight acreage decreases In South Carolina. Georgia, Alabama. Mississippi and Louisiana are more than offset by gains in Texas and Oklahoma. Condition, also, Is fairly even. As compared with last year. North Carolina Increased , acreage nine-tenths of one per cent. ; and condition roue from 80.3 to 87.8; South Carolina decreased acreage 2.8 per cent, and condition rose from 77 : to 80.2. But for Interfering rains j over a large part of the belt the gen eral acreage increase would have been much larger. Heavy storms and downpours In Texas and Okla homa subsequent to the date of these reports will unquestionably reduce both acreage and condition figures oroewhat below those given. The out look Is much better than a year' age, this crop being early where Its prede cessor was a full month late. Since complaint of grass are not serious, and labor 1 plentiful, normal weather from now on would ensure a good slxed crop. ' . Thuut riata in In all llkellhnn-1 not ar wrong. They strongly go to show the extreme difficulty attending con certed efforts for acreage reduction, especially when prices are at attrac Ur levels. Concerted holding can be fairly well managed It has even been overdone at least once without half trying) but. If all the earnest and fairly well-organized campaigns for acreage reduction during a suc cession of year ever produced the slightest actoal result, the fact does not appear. Of course. thle extreme difference In feasibility, rests upon certain traits of human nature which the farmer shares with all mankind; and. It thus presents a permanent problem. ' ' . , ' -.. --.: . ; This u Charlotte real convention month! The Retail Merchants Asso ciation, the Teacher, Assembly, the Mecklenburg primaries . and county convention. , with thsi .

' . s ' , . . v ' ,' " At hearing in anti-trust ulU re cently brought by the government the American Tobacco Company indig nantly denies that it controls the ea t'r tobacco output of the country, f it doesn't, but certainly not for : k cf trying. : AT IMPOSSIBLE COMMISSION: The -bepe-of all legislative bodies is that In creating new offices or sup plying . vacancies 1a old and perma nest ones er In raising' new commis sions 'for special purposes they, se lect the officers; or members from among themselves. The statement Is of general application. The propriety la more than questionable though wrong to the public does not always result. Sometimes vthe wrong . Is great and palpable; again, when not Immediately resultant, the evil con sequences may with certainty be fore seen. Bo In the case of the currency commission provide for by the Vree-land-AIdrich emergency currency bin Just enacted constituted for the avowed purpose of taking Into con sideration the 1 whole question of finance, banking, currency, and re porting to Congress ' a- meaaur which will establish a sclentiflo sys tem of finance, permanent in Its character but with provisions which will safeguard the country from such convulsions as that of last fall. What do we see? A provision that the members of this commission, eighteen In all. ahall be appointed from the two houses of Congress, nine from each branch. This ren ders the whole scheme hopeless. Con- ess has shown Itself totally incom petent to deal with the great prob lem of finance. Just now, at a pe riod of great stress, when depression Is general and the stringency severe, It has ,been hesitant. Incoherent, be wildered, and after six months of supposed deliberation, from the first Monday in December to the last Sat urday In May, has brought forth, at the moment of adjournment, an abor tion. If Congress cannot, after' six months, produce through the finance committees of Its two branches, an adequate financial measure, there can be no hope that a commission con stituted from the membership of these committees will ever do so. Candidate Kltchin. In his speech at Winston on the night of May J7tb. In criticising Senator Simmons for his letter in behalf of Mr. Craig, said that when he Is Governor he will have the satisfaction of knowing that he had done all in his power to keep the Democratic party "free from the bosslsm which ever threat ens Its usefulness." In the same plaint in regard to himself he says "'this Senator never did It before, either two. four or .six years ago, In behalf of any of the dozens of candi dates who have been before the peo ple, and even now he does not. in his open letter, give his weight to any candidate for corporation com missioner or Lieutenant Governor, for Commissioner of Agriculture or other position." These two quotations do not square. Mr. Kltchin refutes his own charge. Reflecting people will conclude from his statement that a boss who "never did It before, either two, four or six years ago," and has nothing to say this year (making eight) except as to one office, Is not very much of a boss after all; at least Is not on who lives up to his opportunities. The basketball Inter-colleglate as sociation has voted to suspend and the game Is regarded as approaching extinction in the Eastern college world. Swarthmore definitely relin quishes the sport, and several other Institutions. Including Harvard, ' are expected to do so; while Tale, Prince ton, Cornell and the rest will play the briefest possible schedule "next . - . i . . i .11 All 4 V. a j wimcr, ii nicy ymj i faculties are opposed to what is termed "the spirit of the game," meaning thereby that roughness and foul playing are almost Inseparable from It. Furthermore, there seems to be general agreement that it pos sesses few or no permanent attrac tions as a sport and has just about played out in any event. All of which we find Interesting, but espe cially the fact that roughness fig ures as principal objection from the faculty standpoint. In this part of the country basketball is regarded as rsther a mollycoddle or pink-tea sort of a game. Governor Glenn declared himself to our Raleigh correspondent Saturday as In favor of Instructing 'the North Carolina delegation to the national Democratic convention, and "said in conclusion that he did not wish In any way to be understood as trying to Interfere with the action of the state convention save and except that as private citizen he felt he had a right to express his belief that Bryan was the best and most available can didate." The Governor hasn't any such right. If he had read the pa pers lust week he would have found out that it is none of his business what party policies are adopted and that he should keep his mouth shut about who. In his opinion. Is "thd best and most available candidate" for anything.' Notice has been served upon the public men and ex-publlo men of North Carolina that as re. gards their preferences excepting for themselves the people "want nothing from them lxclpt silence and domned Httl Iv that." . - Judge Pritchard address on "Th Judiciary," before the literary socle tie of the University of North Caro lina Saturday, published in full Ih yesterday's Observer, was a most In tOeetlng and instructive production and deserve to be generally read. Hi tribute to the Supreme Court of th United Suites and In particular to John Marshall, Its greatest Chief Justice, waa very fine, It Is of In terest " that Judge pTltchard rank the present Chief Justice, Melville ,W, Fuller, along with hi Illustrious pre decessora. .

T following bill, supplemental to the one ratified by the people last week,; has been drafted by a cltlien of Charlotte,' to be aubmitted to the Legislature next winter, to the end of making prohibition really effec tive In North Carolina: . A BUl to be Entitled An Act to Prohibit the Drinking or I'M of Intoxicating Liquors Except for Medical Purposes. The General Assembly of North Carolina oo enac:: - ...3 ,v Section 1. that any person who "shall drink, imbibe by suction, bynerdernucal- ly Inject, or otherwise introduce into his system, any quantity whatsoever, of spirituous, vinous or malt liquors, er in toxicating bitters, or any fluid wbieh con tains a sufficient Quantity or Percentage of alcohol to produce Intoxication, shall oe runty or a misdemeanor, ana upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by fine or imprisonment, or both, in the dis cretion of the court. . Section 3. That the smell or odor of sny of the liquors mentioned in the preceding section upon the breath of any person shall be pi Una facie a violation of this act, end evidence thereof shall be suffi cient to sustain a- conviction hereunder. Section 8. That the nlaoe where the smell or odor of such llauor is 'discovered or detected upon the breath of any person shall ne conclusively presumed and held to oe tne place wbere the aaid liquors were drunk, and the venue of any indict ment under this act may be laid accord ingly. . ' V section . That this act shan not apply to any person who Is bona fide sick, and usee such liquor upon the prescrlDtion of a regularly licensed physician, whose pa tient suen person is at the time: nor to the bona, fide patient of any regularly licensed dentist, who uses such llauor upon the prescription of such dentist, ths patient teina in the dental enair unaer treatment at the time: nor to the pastor, officer or communicants of any church or rllsious soelety wMle enraeed In the celebration of any recrament or ceremony in wnicn sucn r.miors may Be uaen. i"etin a. That thia act shall te in force rmni 1 and after Its ratification. . This bill. If enacted into a law. will make it compulsory upon those guar dians of Old Jones and the niggers, who voted against the manufacture and sale of Intoxicating liquors, at the recent election, to drink as they vole, and at the same time they will have the satisfaclon of knowing they are observing the law of the land. This law will distinctly meet the ar gument that "prohibition does not prohibit." It will go to the root of the matter. Tb real evil to be leg islated against Is not ths manufac ture or sale of liquor. Millions of gallon of It may be made and sold and no harm would reault If it were used to rub with, or in paints, or In the arts and sciences. It is the drink ing of the stuff that makes wives widows and children orphans, and fills up the asylums, poor-houses and jails. If the manufacture and sale of the poison Is to continue there must be somebody to buy It. The real thing to prohibit Is the purchase and drinking of it. If there were no peo ple to drink It its manufacture and sale would die a natural death. Another Important matter about this law Is that It Is not affected by Inter-State commerce. Under the law recently voted on liquor may still be shipped Into the Stat from beyond Its borders, but if It Is made a crime to drink liquor, it matters not where the liquor come from, Inter-State commerce Is no defence to an Indict ment against the fellow who. "intro duces it Into his system." All who are In favor of this most excellent measure will please hold up their hands. The best newa that this morning paper carries 1 that Mr. Cleveland was able yesterday to leave the Lake wood, N. J-. Hotel, where he has been confined for two months with rheu matic gout and acute Indigestion, for his horns at Princeton, making the three-hours trip In an automobile; that he descended the stairs unas sisted, and looked as well as when he arrived at the hotel This will be very pleasing Information to U of his friends. Those who hope for some good re sults to the country from the Stand ard Oil currency bill, the finishing touches to which were given by the Senate and the President Saturday night, will think again when they realize that they are' Indebted for it to the same source from which they have the present steel trust tariff law. Senator Aldrlch 1 responsible for both. All the same, we ar glad Jeffries Davis didn't get to Washington In time. REV. MIL MAim.V PREACHES, MioHlonary to Africa Tells of m Work to Second Church Congrega tion Missionary Interest Stimu lated. Rev. Motte Martin,' a missionary of the Southern Presbyterian Church with his field of labor in Central Af rica, nijed the pulpit of the Second church last night and told at some length of his experiences as a work er in the Dark Continent. Mr. Mar tin talked to a good-sized audience which seemed Interested in the nar ratives he related. He centred his remarks around three lines of thoughts. He spoke a rat of the ap parent needs which confront the mis sionary ss he enters the field. The people are unhappy and tholr religion brings no comfort Ar happiness. "Their very religion itself constitute a need," said he. . ."Polygamy 1 fos tered by th law. Children die at the rats of SO to 80 per cent, on ac count of no regard Tor the laws of health.. They feel that the great Creator Is Indifferent to their needs." Ths realization of Vhetr needs was th second thought developed. The speaker told of th eagerness" with which a missionary of the Gospel waa greeted and the sacrifice the people would make In order to hear the tid ing of salvation preached. He em phasised the point that th Gospel was not being thrust upon them by the home church. - - Th last feature of Itls general sub ject was aHng the tine of meeting the need which presented them selves by sending the Gospel to them. Mr. Martin spoke of the Success which ha attended his labor and the labor of other missionaries who have consecrated their Uvea to this humble service. HI addres In th main was narrative, eontalrlng num erous accounts of his own experi ences among tb people of Africa. Rev. Mr Martin spoke to a crowd ed house at the First Presbyterian church yesterday morning. As a re sult of hi visit it I believed the missionary interest of the : several Presbyterian church of the eity has been greatly strengthened. - CBAIG LEADS BY 30 -TOTES .

Correct ed return wer also received last night from Pamlico, which amounts to a matter Of Infinitesimal fractions. but It Is mad in th tabulated state ment, Through an oversight' - Lincoln county was not' mentioned in figur Ing the returns yesterday - morning. Th fact Jhat Lincoln' 7 votea will come to Charlotte nnlnstructed Is re sponsible for.. this oversight, and, of course th! make no change In the standing of the candidates. Lincoln county i added to the statement among the three counties which are uninstructed. It does make a change In the figures relating jy th number of counties voting and to vote; thus far 71 counties have held convention or primaries, end 17 more have yet to voie. v With th figure from Columbus and Camden added, the score of th candidate last week was: Craig XX. 2f; Kltchin 84.41; Horns 18. JO The grand total of the 71 counties which have voted I: Craig 25 .J 7; Kltchin 128.80; Home 18.80. The sum total to date I th fact that Mr. Craig I leading Mr. Kltchin by 88.87 votes. The figures In the accompanying table are absolutely correct and have been verified, with th exception of those counties voting Saturday which are marked with a . In these case the estimates are from the respective county chairmen and are approxi mately correct. The official vote when received, will make a change only of fractions. The humorous feature of yesterday, after the smoke of Saturday's battle had cleared, waa the statement given a State paper by Mr. J. 8. Manning. vice president of Mr. Duke's bank at Durham and Mr. Kltchin' manager. In this statement Mr. Manning de clares: . , , The votes of to-day, as far a as certained, give Kltchin 54.81; .Horne 18 or IS; Craig 10.85, making, Kltch ln's lead over Craig th those counties acting practically 44 votes. This leaves Craig with a lead of only about 12 votes. , Kltchin will lead . in the primaries to be held this week and will overcome this lead of Ca!g. I stand by my statement that Kltchin will lead Craig by 60 vote at Char lotte." As a matter of simple fact Mr. Craig received more than twice as many votes as Mr. Manning I kind enough to credit him with 22.28 in stead of 10.85; Mr. Horne received several more than Mr. Manning al lowed him, and Mr Kltchin got a fraction lees than, his manager claims for him. Instead of leading Mr. Craig by 44 votes In the voting Saturday, Mr. Kltchin led by 33.12 votes, and It was Mr. Kltchln's biggest day since the battle opened. Instead of leading Mr. Kltchin by the paltry matter of 12 votes, aa Mr. Manning says, Mr. Craig Is leading Mr. Kltchin now with Just a frac tion less than 30 votes. Mr. Manning either has slept during the history-making event of the past few weeks, or els he is Juggling with figures, "and," remarked a Craig up- norter last night, "when .a man get to juggling deliberately with figures, you may be sure he Is up a tree. Mr. Manning's claims are not borne out bv the facts that he is in. a posi tion to know as Intimately a do Mr. Craig's and Mr. Home's supporters." Mr. Craig frienas, or course. Know that the claim that Mr, Kltchin will come to the convention with a 60 vote lead. Is hot air. end they, a well as the general publio realise that Mr. Kltchin will have to pick up consid erably from what he is aomg now to bear out the extravagant claims of his manager.
