BDITORiiGOM FRIDAY, HAY 9, 1902. . We publish in another column a news note clipped frOmi the Eliza beth City ' corre spondence of the Norfolk Landmark, entitled '-created sensation' It is. an. junjust im putation upon the pastor and the mission which he performs. The Tar Heel extends hearty congratulations to its mdnty readers in Perquimans on the acquisition of their rural free delivery ' of mail. This marks a stride in the march of progress. Let the next affort be made for better roads and take the Tak Heel's prediction for progressive times. more How about those fellows who failed to pay their poll tax ? 1 ; T,he law is as unalterable as the laws of the Medes and Persian and some of those disfranchised citi zens will feel very cheap in Novem-J ber.' In our opinion it is an em barrassing position to be in the same box with the negro. There is no "Jim Crow" car law on this road. . f ' In another column we publish an article signed by "a conserva tive democrat" in which the writer advocated . the candidacy of Mr. TX. W. Turner for the legislature. "While the Tar Heel is a public or gan cannot take sides with any can didate it can sincerely speak in complimentary terms of this young man" who has achieved success, in his ; profession and is in every re spect worthy of ; the honor, which his friend seeks to have conferred upon him. . All praise to our city fathers for their action last Monday night in ordering the ' opening !ahd exten sion of Water street. This is. a decided leap in the direction of progress, and an improvement which should have been made years ago. This is our principal business thoroughfare and its ex tension will make, accessiple-property, the development of which is necessary to the general improve . ment of this rapidly growing city. Both ends of this commercial ; avenue should be opened, and it is to be hoped that this will - be the .next move. AN APOLOGY. The editor of this paper deeply " regrets that during mV absence last w&ek, these columns contained .an article which reflected upon the. -citizens of Dare county; and em braces this first" opportunity to oft fer the apology which is justly due" the good people of Roanoke Island The fact is that ' the editorial duties were temporarily ' entrusted to our local reporter whose lack of knowledge of Roanoke 'Island led him to an innocent misrepresenta . tion. The citizens ,of this historic county may be fully assured that ' 'the Tar Heel would not inten tionally do them an injustice. In deed, since its first issue the col- NORTH CAROLINA. 75c. 50c.

The open for i contributions 'of general ue auuuiujjtiuou uy mo wuiei -fir-- -' v umns of this paper have "been un "sparingly used for the interests of Dare county and in the future, as in the past, the Tak Heel will strive for the.progress and develop ment of Dare alike with the other counties of Eastern North Caro lina. , RAISE CATTLE. T71 1 - n .1 jj recjuent reierence to tlio im portance of cattlft. raising at home has been made. The present high prices have resulted in nothing less than the development of a growing scarcity of beef m the West. This suggests the opportunity open to the farmers of Eastern Carolina. Xne lower counties of this state are peculiarly adapted to the rais ing of cattle. The natural advan tages are such as to encourage the raising of beef cattle. There is no food more preferable for cattle than the reed. There are thousands of acres of reed land right in this section that could be utilized in this industry." In view of the fact that practi cally no knowledge of stock rais ing is necessary to launch into the business and also considering the ease a"nd inexpulse in conductin a vocation of this kind; it is but surprising that we have not mbre cattle raisers than we have.' In-making inquiries among the butchers hereabouts we learn that owing to scarcity of cattle in this section that most of the beef used by them is the western product. The raising of beei cattle should receive the serious attention of our farmers. Hon. Tho3. Skinner has recently purchased a tract of land south of here comprising 1900 acres. He has fenced in this pro perty and stocked it with cattle, Mr. Skinner is ho 100I. He knows that no more pajmg investment could be made. He has set an ex ample that others would do wei to follow - IN JUSTICE TO COL CREECY. In justice to our personal friend Col. Creecy, editor of, the Econo mist, the Tar Heel is moved to sav that our attack last week upon that paper was in no sense meant to re flect upon the venerable and dis tinguished ' editor whose life's labors have been crowned -with honor. The Tab " Heel entertains profound respect' for hoary hairs, and especially when such is coupled ivith becoming honor as in his case. He had no knowledge of, and was in no way responsible for, nor did he sanction, the attack which that paper made, upon the Tar Heel, and which attack called forth our denunciatory utterances. The attack upon us was made ' by, and eminated from, the business management. It . was not given space in ' the editorial columns which are controlled by the vener able editor.-' - ' Our- attack was aimed a; the business department and we seein to be excellent marksmen since SOME QUESTIONS. ; ' ' --l," ' r-"'--" : In" the Congressional', Record of April 29th, we notice the discussibn and passage of a : bill carrying an appropriation of $120,000 for a public building in Jihis city. The bill contained the following pro- viso; "That said building hall be erecte d upon the. : site in said city , . , 1'. ;; ' v ' ; ROW owneti. py: Mit; lvmiJU- p-it;t; Government!" -:' .,. 'Such ft proviso in this bill is eminently , surprising to the : citiT zens of this city, ninety-five' per cent of whom have openly declar ed their, objection to the present site. The Tut Heel as the voice of I the people rises to ask these ques tions. , Why was such a proviso added to a bill,! the object of Which was to increase the appropriation ?; r Why was the committee appoint ed by the Chamber of Commeroe of this city, not given a hearing as was. promised by Congressman Small? 1 . Who was the Cause of this pro) viso being embodied in the bill, and is it a trick used to, thwart the will of the people and force the U. S. Government to erect the build ing on ah undesirable lot? Why was not the matter left with the Government and the citizens of thei. city to decide on a desirable site, and could not Congress trust the Government and our people to locato their own building V The above and many other questions are asked by the citizens of this city. The Tar Heel is frank to say that it cannot explain. This proviso is condemed by the people of this city. We would rather have a $100,000 building on Main street than to have a build ing on the proposed site which would cost $120,000. IN UNJUST IMPUTATION, The contemporary which seems to be run for no other v purpose than to promote the selfish ends of its business manager made an un warranted attack ujDon our business men in its last issue. , Under the caption "Let gold lovers Ltick to their pile" it said among other things that the rich men of this city did npt want another railroau; and it intimated in the same article that our business men were re ceiving bribes from the Norfolk & Southern Railroad. The TaIi Heel brands this as an unjust and unwarranted imputation of the men who have by their per sonal efforts and with their money made this city what it is today, it was' these same' men who built up the large jobbing interests 'of this city-and gave it a commercial im portance ! second to no city in Eastern North Carolina. It is these saine men who strive at all times for thd progress of this city, 2)romot ih. enterprises which give employ ment anc put money in circulation. It is these men, whose motives this false sheet would impune, who strive to build a ferrv which would facilitate and cheapen the travel of three counties and thus promote the trade of this city, while the business manager of this same sheet struts around tbe lobby of the State Capital seeking the pas sage of a bill which' gives him a private monopoly and one; which ' militates! against the progress of this city and one which , strikes directly at the pocket of the poor men of 'these three counties! -f , The Tar Heel speaking for the business men, gives assurance that tney, wim tne j.as jieel, are in favor of a new railroad for this city. The rapid growth and com mercial importance of the city, de mand one. They will offer every reasonable encouragement for the promotion of such an enterprise. A Card. To the Democratic voters of Pas quotank county. ; ' At the urgent request of many friends I herewith declare myself a candidate for the Democratic Homihation for Sheriff.
