The COttOn goods market Is slow iv I broadening, and. while far less than the normal volume, of orders are be ing booked, the amount of aalea last week, due n part, of course, to the accumulation of orders over the holi day, has been larger than at any other period this year. There Is a noticeable demand for quick delivery, particularly from the agricultural regions of the West and South. ., Manufacturers and commission houses believe that the worst of the depression has been.paseed. Prices are being held firm and manufactur ers refuse to take order Involving a loss to fill at current price for labor and raw material. A few large yarn contract have been booked on order to run Into January. Worth street business continues to Improve and on some Hnea of dress goods better prices are obtainable. New York Jobbers during tha week re ceived from distant buyer a collec tion of duplicate order by mall, an Indication that trade outside of the metropolis is showing a great Im provement. ... There has been- an Increased de mand for raw silk on tha part of the manufacturer, and he is working only on order booked.

As to national affairs.

In view of the untold resources of this uommonweaim. aooui wnicn hear and read so much, I may say there never waa a more propitious opportunity for the adoption of a policy which will Induce, attract ana encourage the Investment of outside capital In our State. There arc certain matters to which I desire to refer: first, that of labor. LABOR. I trust I may be pardoned for stat- lng that whatever 1 have accumulated of this world's goods has been the fruit of my own effort. The work of my life and the environments of the Held of . activity in which 1 have wrought, with some measure of sirfc cesB, have been such as to make 'It Impossible for me to be in any way unfriendly to labor. Thw most loyal friend and supporters 1 have are men who have been In m y employ for I am willing ten or twenty years and that the testimony of these moil, ir- respective of uolltlcal or other affilia tlons, shall be accepted as to my at- tltude on this question. I may state further that 1 have never dtscrimt- natcd against any laboring man on account of his connection with anv organization, and In the course of my buslness'Ufe of more than twenty five years, devoted to the upbulldlnf of the industrial and manufacturing Interests of the community in which I live, and while employing a great many men, never have I had any trouble of any kind, at any time, wlfh my employes. CAPITAL. I must be equally frank and em phatic In stating that my attitude towards capital is that of Justico and lalrness. I am in favor of dealing wisely and J,1!,,y wlth a" classes of our cltlaens 'n the enactment and enforcement of laws affecting their interests. I believe also In the proper and Just and strict regulation of all 'rail roads and other public carriers, and In requiring all corporations to obey tho laws as strictly and faithfully as tho humblest private citizen. 1 favor such laws as will "give to the Federal government greater su pervision and control over, and se cure greater publicity in, the man agement of that class of corpora tions engaged In Interstate commerce having power and opportunities to effect monopolies." And in this connection I beg to state emphatically that I have not a dol lar Invented In any sort of combine 0r trust, or In any line of business that any man can fairly claim even savora of a trust. It Is not Improper, since I have been so misquoted and mlsrenreacnt- great necessity for bulldlna- a rail- road south of us, to bring out the large quantity of lumber In that di rection, organized the Hlah Pblnt. Randkman, Ashcboro A Southern Railroad t'omnanv. nnd at a. meotlno- of the stockholders composed of my neignpors ana menus J was elected president anrl n director of the mm. iiinv and devoted much time and labor snH anmn mnnev toward, tki completion of thla road. Soon after the completion of this road It waa sold to the old Richmond & Danville, and I have since retained the place as director in this local company, and by reason of holding this place as director have lawfully carried an annual pass ever since. This annual pass came to me legitimately and I have never seen any sufficient reason why I should refuse it. Outside of the investment In this local road I have no financial Inter est direct or Indirect In any other railroad. It I due me that I should state postlvely that I have never ask ed for or received a rebate from any I .....v.u v k principles no pouci I am strongly opposed to rebates or jated to Insure the peace and pros any sort of discrimination, and, speak-i a-reat State. I ask lng for myself, have never been able to understand why the railroad should give Virginia cities better rates than they give Xorth Carolina cities. This question should receive the continued and urgent attention of our people until It is corrected. WhlU railroad should be required to make reasonable schedule and viva raannahl aeenrn mod sttnna we should not overlook the enormous ex-1 pense of in.cJp operation ana tneir 1 mil loaaea h accident and otherwise..

R(.Dublirlln n-Ptv pvidenre of the fact that we are further awav from oId ronrtltlon. and nearer abreast with modern conditions than any other State In the South. In spite of hostile legislation which has materially retarded her progress. North Carolina which waa at one time the third State in the Union in population and wealth can soon again resume her relatively high position amongst her sister States, both In material prosperity and pollt- leal importance. REPUBLICANS AND PROSPERITY. The Republican party Is more In sympathy with the essential ele ments of modern prosperity than the Democratic party. It stands for those things and those policies which more largely favor the growth and expan sion of our material interest. I cannot emphasize the fact too "trongly that neither our State nor tne S"th has had the influence in uaimimi audi rs lllHl wiry unur uau. In order to exercise again a rightful Influence In the nation we must oc cupy ourselves with economic ques tions rather than political questions and In struggle for office. When the people of Xorth Carolina once see the wisdom of giving equal support to two political parties, so that the one doing the most for the economic welfare of the State gets the votes, we will have attained a position of political strength In the nation to which this old Commonwealth is en titled by reason of her past history and glorious prestige. The Republican party Invite sup port not only for Its national ticket but for the ticket Inside the State, with the belief that such support would mean the best Interest of the State of North Carolina. In my short speech of acceptance In the Charlotte convention I empha sized the fact that the one feature of that great convention which Im pressed mc more perhaps than any other, which appealed strongly to me, and which had largely to do with my decision, was the presence of bo many stalwart youngy men who had enlisted under the Republican stand ard. AX APPEAL TO YOUNG MEN. And I cannot conclude this letter without making an earnest appeal to the young men of our State. The economic and political condi tions of 1908 In Xorth CaroJIna are not what they were in 1868. Condi tions have changed. To these young rrien I am not appealing for tneir votes, for I would not have them vote otherwise than their Judgment ana conscience dictate. But to them 1 do anDeal and ask that they study the history of the policies and Achieve ments of the great Republican party of this country and to study well the opportunities which this party ha made possible for. them before they choose their political affiliations. In a certain sense a young- man of intelligence and courage la a more Impartial Judge of the relative merits of political parties than the man who IS embittered by ma memurm i dead issues and who allows the prejudices of the past to warp his luda-ment, and who Is Influenced by a fancied Tear of Inconsistency. By tha law or nature i iuiure destiny of the State Is In the hands o the vounr men. They must take our places when we are gone, write the law, fill the offices and blare and cut out the Intellectual, political and Industrial highway. It Is th first step- msi counts, saia the great Napoleon.. It Is oftentimes a man's first vote that determines his political future. To tha voung men I appeal most earnestly to glva to the great ques tions which are to-day before the peo- ole of Xorth Carolina mejr closest study and their calmest Judgment. and tO IOIIOW in) iwuiurs ui wic nolitlcal party which stands for the them to shape their course by hopes ftf tne future and ot by prejudices - th ,Mt.

This attraction will hold the boards at the Academy of Music next Monday, mat inee and night. During this engage ment the entire balcony and gallery win oe reserved for colored people. "THE LION. AND THE MOUSE." Charles Klein's greatest work. "The Lion and the Mouse." Is scheduled for welcome to the Academy of Music next Tuesday night and it Is but fair to the Intelligence of the local theatre-going public to predict that It will be seen by as many who have never wltnesaed this great play of financial conditions in this country to-day, as those who have so thoroughly enjoyed It In the past. It has been a long time, in fact out of the memory of many, snce - a play has been pro duced that has. won the universal praise shown this drsma and the fact that It has baaed existing conditions in the lives of some of our money kings of to-day, makes it stronger In commanding the attention of those In all w alks of life. Henry B. Harris has done much, too. In holding "The Lion and the Mouse" at the high plane established at the very offset, aa he has given his schooled attention to the cast of players and scenic en vironments. This season Mr. Har ris has combined the better players from two of his companies of last season Into the one to ba seen here, and supplied a complete assignment of scenic accessories to this organiza- , tion. With these facts firmly Im pressed in the minds of those who arc keen on the best offerings of the stage, the success of the local engagement Is fairly assured. Seats will go on sale to-morrow morning at Hawley's. The popular comedian, Xorman Hackett, will appear at the Academy of Music next Friday night in Cecil De Mllle's successful play, "Class mates."

There -is a beauti ful falling flower effect in the first part, the illumined blossoms helno an delicately , articulated as to vibrate on their sterna as if they were swayed oy a genua oreese. The contrast of lighting effect ia seen when the moon light dissipates into a gorgeous sun rise, while tn flowers, half conceal ed by their dark foliage, begin to glimmer, and vie with tha sunlight enect, in brightness and beauty. Over ten thousand feet of specially insulat ed wire is used in the first part alone, and its arrangement required the combined efforts of Ave special elec tricians all summer to construct These miles of wire, besides feeding thousanda of lam pa In tha flowers, stimulate also powerful aro lamps of twenty thousand candle power, all being controlled by a mammoth switchboard which is carried by tha company. This switchboard con trols every lamp, as well as . every electrical device used, .and Is under the control of one man. In the olio many startling electrical effects are produced, particularly In such spec taclea as the Illusion of Hadea and snowstorm and cloud effects. The Al G.

If I were a winged god And as I am, a lover Of all that's fair on earth's green sod; And as a man I wont In quest Of one sure balm lor aching breast. Full heart's-ease to discover; And I had seen, of charm and grace, Ten thousand fair of mortal race, -" But, longing, found in them no rest; When but a glimpse I caught of you, I'd poise my wings and closely hover In wonder wild, O Fair and True, And ecstasy above you; And like a rosebud bursting To bloom in light and morning dew. As, famished, It were thirsting, I'd smiling call, "I love you!" Then, laughing like the gladdened sun When earth comes back and night la done. With speed of storms that lash the lea Or streams that headlong rush to sea, I'd swooping snatch you from the sod With heart of man and grasp of god. And speed away to my home divine And whisper flying, "You're mine. Just mine." , ' , My flight so swift, It would take your breath In wonder If I were Love or Death, Till you wake refreshed on a diamond bed. With a sapphire pillow under your head, And a soothing sense of eternal rest In the arms of a god, your lover's breast. And the soft light of love around you shedr -C. T. September Wth, 1908.
