"Charlotte and the Panic." ap- pears elsewhere In this paper as the first or a. series on the subject of the city's growth and business status. This is the matter that, rather than , politics. Interests Charlotte the mat ' ter of getting along in the material . world. The picture, an absolutely - accurate one, will De a most agree- - able one for our people to look upon - and will encourage them to take a 0 trash grip and renew their energies, ' "While it will give the great outside public which The Observer reaches, fa the State and out of it a surprls . log, and, we are sure, a pleasing view Ot the development of this attractive . city under conditions supposed to be the most adverse. ' The story, in a word, Is of a million and a half dollars .invested In lm f provements during a Danlc. It speaks 1 tar Itself. It tells that during a pe riod of extraordinary depression else where, the remarkable record of progress that Charlotte has made .within the past ten years continued ' unabated, as If nothing were happen ing in the financial world. We need not pause here to paint a picture of the future of a city of which so. much as Is told in our news columns may be truly said. The watchword continues to be: "Watch Charlotte Grow!" THE DETAILS OF THE CHARTER. , ; An important alternative question is before the people of Charlotte In ref ence to the proposed, new charter: , Whether It shall provide for a straight . commission or for an aldermen-commission government We take it that , there is pretty general agreement .'among the cltisens that we should adopt the modern, progressive and f successful system of government by commission. In its two preceding is sues The Observer ha laid fairly be L fore Its readers the arguments for . and against both of the plans eug- vested: a commission straight or one which shall report to a small board of aldermen which shall meet in frequently and shall have no control rt the commission. The members of .the commission will of course be elected by the people; how the mayor hall be elected, whether by the peo ple or by the commission, is another ...moot question. Valuable Information '.' 'fcearing upon all the points of dif ference will no doubt be elicited at the meeting of mayors this week, and all of us iwlll no doubt know more vavfter Its adjournment as to what Is 'the course of wisdom In all the de tails than we know now. THE TCBERCTtOUS CONVENTION' In, yesterdays' Observer Dr. Charles A. Julian, secretary and treasurer of ; the North Carolina Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, made : formal announcement of the meeting ; f this body In Charlotte January Jtth, 1M. The programme is being - made up and when completed will be ; given out The subject to be conaid '.ored Is one of tremendous importance. . The ravages of consumption among ' the people of the United States are frightful to contemplate. It Is not the medical profession alone whose , attention It should engage it Is the OISSS Of the people who should be most, immediately concerned about preventive measures, for it Is upon ' them that this curse of God does Its fatal work. The physicians of the country and the world have in recent yars given jpw energy to their ef forts : to stay toe progress of this malady and the profession in North Carolina which by its enlightenment ' and success; in keeping abreast with modern thought -does honor to the f":a.te,. will we are sure, contribute h t its Charlotte meeting, much that is of value to the literature on this vital They ara now threatening to re ace Madison Square f Garden, the at auditorium, which forms one of late Stanford.-' "White's master -. with an office building.

The two cotton ' conventions, at Memphis and Sfew Orleans, each went en record, for tea cents as the mint nm price and "each advised - the marketing of the crop gradually. For this gradual marketing no special machinery was provided. Certain New Orleans bankers had promised backing to the extent of S0.000,v9 if the Farmers' Union would erect a great central warehouse la their city, but the plaa did not materialise. It is just as well. Such a scheme could only mean an attempt to operate cor ners' in raw cotton and lay the law of supply and demand out cold. It Is quite a different matter from grad ual marketing, which brings great benefit when judiciously practiced and can be practiced with much advan tage in concert. That harm may follow even thla course almost as readily as good in the absence of sound judgment ap pears clearly from the problem now confronting the grower. Last winter and spring cotton was tenaciously held in face both of attractive pricos and world-wide depression in the cot ton manufacturing Industry. Heavy holdings were carried over into the new crop season. It should have been clear that a successful outcome could not be attained under these circum stances except through a materially reduced acreage. Warning was sound ed on every hand. But each individ ual grower, having seen half a year of panic and depression pass without touching him, evidently concluded that he would never be touched. What he did in conventions and pub lic meetings was to vote for reduc tion. What he did on his farm was to plant the biggest acreage ever known. The blunder of this coftrse is now admitted from the heart and not from the Hps only. After selling a great part of the crop for'less than ten cents, his modest ambition Is to get not less than ten cents for the remainder. He had not worked corner, but under the circumstances, he had worked too near the sem blance of a corner for his own good. In holding and planting cotton with equal energy he Invited certain trou ble sooner or later, and by pursu ing this course at a time when in dustrial conditions most strongly for bade he made it certain that trouble would come soon. His problem now Is to get out as light , as possible. Southern business Interests, in the same boat with him and his friends always, should not be backward with any needed assistance. TWO CLiTJMSY GERRYMANDERS. It has been observed ere this that gerrymanders do not always bring forth the results expected. In North Carolina, transferring flurry county's Republican majority from the doubt ful eighth congressional district to the supposedly one-sided 'fifth made the fifth Republican while the eighth went Republican, anyhow. For this outcome of the gerrymander the still almost unbelievable slump In the fifth was, as all observers know, primarily responsible. Just across the line In Virginia a gerrymander brought Democrats within ninety-one votes of losing the fifth, or Danville, district without any compensation elsewhere. It Is expected that the Republican candidate will enter contest before the House. In each State the gerry mander was a kicking gun a true 'roorback." The political chessboard is a queer affair and admits of bad moves without number; but among all the various opportunities for blundering not the least appeared to be that which is afforded by the gerrymander. While we do not feel warranted, except In peculiar circumstances, in denying space In which to discuss a public matter to a decent man who signs his name to his contribution and when It is not libelous or abusive, we almost repent ourselves for having permitted the opening of a corres pondence In regard to the prospective vacancy in the seat of Representative Kitchin, of the fifth congressional dis trict. It has become voluminous and Is giving symptoms of asperity. The first communication was admitted In nocently enough of thought of what It might lead to, which, it Is now evi dent enough. Is to no good end; but being In we of course cannot close the controversy while either side can justly say it is entitled to another hearing? all of which is a prolix way of Intimating to correspondents on the subject that we shall be glad when they feel that they are ready to bring an unprofitable debate to a conclusion. A four days' ervlce In celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the rectorship of Rev. P. P. Alston, of St. Michael' Episcopal church, col ored, of this city, was inaugurated yesterday. The members or tni con gregation and whites of the city do well to take knowledge of this event Dr. Alston ha labored faithfully and effectively in this vineyard and aa In teresting story of what he has ac complished in these twenty-five years and what has been done under his ministry here appeared In yesterday paper. He is a valuable cltixen of Charlotte and enjoya, a he deerves, the confidence and respect of all peo ple who know him or have watched the progress of his work.

It was one of the oest thing I know."; That t "one of the finest things"' we ever saw." - ; "JEEMS" A3TD ATLANTA. ; - , . Atlanta simply cannot tret along for. any great length of time without that notoriously v - bibulous eitlxen. - Mr. "Jeemav Woodward,' aar Its -r mayor, The stunts which Ifrf. W. is In the habit of performing on publlo occas ions, especially whea ' away front hffiftfe, have clearly Indicated who afiuld be Atlanta's mayor. Anything ff advertising; and excitement At one time Woodward appeared to have a life cinch. The populace finally; wearying of him, however, there an sued an interregnum during which Atlanta had a mayor who never' once, painted it or any other town with red. This soon grew intolerable, and the city began to yearn for "Jeemi." 6o "Jeems" was re-nominated as of old. Glorying In his vindication, he proceeded to broaden and extend It by what even for him, wae a Jam boree truly amazing. The whole ten derloin district of the city was turned upside-down. By this performance "Jeems, ' to his pained surprise, made himself suddenly the object of strong attack. He could not understand how a public could bo so fickle. Perhaps the advertising he gave was becom ing a little too rank. At all events It was decided to go after his scalp at the election, primary or no primary. In The Atlanta Journal we read that "never before in the history of At lanta has there been a more spon taneous and harmonious uprising of the representative citizens than that which has orystalised in the nomina tion of Robert F. Maddox as mayor of the city." But It la still too early to regard "Jeems" Woodward as one politically dead. Even should he be defeated at the polls, the great ques tion whether Atlanta can get along without him for any great length of time would still remain unsettled. Few more dramatic incidents have ever taken place in courts of justice than the shooting of Assistant Dis trict Attorney Frank J. Heney, of San Francisco, well known as a fear less prosecuting officer, by a man whose hidden past he had dramatical ly revealed some time before while that man was. serving as a juror. A crowded court room saw the attempt to wreak revenge for an exposure which had stung day by day until death seemed preferable by compari son. The district attorney will proba bly survive. The wretched assailant committed suicide, after arrest, with a cleverly concealed pistol. Here was a Jean Valjean dominated by moral resentment. The incident points no special moral, but it has at least had the effect of creating a tem porary, diversion in favor of Tennes see. It is pointed out by The Wall Street Journal that since the Housa way and means committee began working on tariff revision United States Steel, common, has advanced nearly 8 points. International Harvester 12 l-( American Woolen 8 1-4, Distillers 3 3-. Virginia-Carolina Chemical 3 1-2, International Paper 1 1-2, American Can 2 3-8, Beet Sugar 1 7-8, American Hide and JLeather 1, and Corn Products 1-3. Beyond any ques tion, the trusts expect to keep both feet in the trough. The Durham Herald thinks that before jumping on Dr. Stiles it might be best to investigate and find out if he knows what he is talking about" So it would, and the testi mony thus far adduced indicates that he does. We are a great people but it Is a mistake to suppose that we are perfect-or too wise to learn. "Liberal Party Win Election" was the caption over a dispatch In The Columbia State of yesterday. It should be explained, however, that the reference is to the Liberal party of Cuba; not to the personally con ducted Liberal party of the Hon. Tapp, and the Minnesota gentleman. Not the least of the sensations of last week was the shooting of a prosecuting officer by a bad cltlsen in a San Francisco court-room and the subsequent suicide of the assailant It was a week of blood, shed In con tempt of law, and Its memory 1 some what of a nightmare. Most interesting news comes from China. Kuang Hsu, the Emperor, is dead; Tsse Hsl An. the Dowager Emr press, is also dead; Pu-Yi. the new Emperor, Is three years id, and Chun, Father Regent It.

Lee's genius was demonstrated more strikingly, perhaps, In the peninsojar campaign against Mcuieilan. in which he divided his army and reunited It on the field of battle. Again, in Pope's cam paign. In the same year, August, 1862, he again separated his forces, la the face of a superior opposing army, and re united ft on the Manassas battlefield, winning a victory. He did it again be fore Antietam. "But the boldest the greatest, battle Lee sver fought was at Chaneellorsvtlle, In May, IMS, when he sent Jaekson around Hooker right That was the stroke of a genius. Beyond all argument Lee was the greatest general America ever pro duced, and I do not in any sense desire to detract from the genius of Qrant who was a great general.

Mow of course Aha ' whole success of the work depends upon ths atti tude of tha people In the open coun try, of the farming people of the United Stat, , If they feel an awakening;; interest in -what you are doing, they should manifest it More over, It is essential that the farmers, the men who actually live oh the soil should feel a sense, of ownership in this commission, should feel that you gentlemen In . very truth ' represent them and are responsible ta their de sires and wishes, no less than to their needs, it seems to- me therefor .that It would be wise to try to get into the closest possible touch with ths farmers of the country and to find .out from them, so far as you are - able. Just what they regard as being the sub jects with which. It is most Important that you should deal. This you are already doing by sending out a cir cular of questions and by holding meeting In different parts of ths United, States. But perhaps some thing more can be dons: MEETINGS FOR PARMEHS. I accordingly suggest tbat you ask the farmers to come together in ths several school districts of the country so that they may meet and consider these maters. I sugget the school districts because the schoolhouse would be the natural and proper place for such a meeting; Or they could meet at other customary or conven lent places. It would be well If the meetings could be held Within the next tares or four week: that is. be fore Congress adjourns prior" to the Christmas holidays, so that at the time of the reassembling Df Congress early In January yon will have the report of the meetings and so wlQ be in position to advise definitely what should be dona I suggest that you ask tbem to meet not later than Sat urday. December 5th: and you will of course use your own Judgment wnetn er to summon the meeting by circular or otherwise. . ,t Throughout this letter where I use the word "farmers" I mean also to in elude all 'those who live 'In the open country and are Intimately connected with those who do the farm work minister, school teacher, physicians. editors of country papers, in short an men and women whose life-work is dons either on the farm or in connec tion with the life work of those who are on the farm..
