Ths Right of the South to Insist Upon Hit lag None Saie the Best. ; - Robert De CWard In the 15tli, 1905. rradesmaa ,' July ;0.i the one hand, congested slam districts iu all the large northern cities, with a population largely-of toreign birtti or paren tkge- and a growing conviction of the impossibility - even wjth un limited resources of men or money-j of permanently raising the standards of living of this slum population as long a it is crowded together, and as long, at the stream of newer immigrants pourB in, On the other hand, vast areas in our western and southern states where the farmers, the cotton growers and the mine owners are asking for labor. Is it any wonder that the weary charity workers of these northern cities are saying that if that their foreign born slum population could be distributed over,! the southern and the western states, many of the difficulties which are now met with in educating and assimilating these aliens could be disposed of? Is it surprising that the farmers and cotton growers and mine owners should on the twhole look forward to this new movement of population into their own districts as likely to solve for them the great problem of lack of labor? And does it strike any one as strange that our railroads and the foreign steam ship companies should favor such a scheme of distribution, which clearly means more business for them? The people of the south at pres ent hold the key to Jhe Jmmigrar tion problem. If they say : " We want anybody we canget to work for us; if we cannot have an honest, strong, intelligent, skilled laborer we will take of low vitality, poor physique, mentally deficient, unused to out-door work j dishonest," then the char ity workers of our northern cities, and our jrailroad companies, will send all sorts of aliens who are generally regarded as "undesira ble" into the southern states. If, on the other hand, the peo ple of the south clearly recognize the fact that our present immigra tion laws make it possible for thousands of aliens to land here "every year who are not likely to benafit but an injury; who are weak and sickly ; who have come because they were inveigled into buying a passage ticket by a steam ship agent, or were given the ticket by a charitable society, in order that they might become a charge .upon the United States rather than the home country; if the poople of the south regard the welfare of their own country in stead of considering only their own financial gain, then they will insist on having none but honest, industrious, . healthy and fit im migrants, ' bucn aliens there are in abundance in the large cities, who would be far better off in the country. rnese are tne ones ' W V - whom the ; south wants, Dis honest, shiftless, sickly and unfit immigrants there are also in abundance in our large northern cities. These the south does not want. Neither do the northern cities want them. Yet they con tinue to pour in on us because congress has not properly dammed the flood. To send out from Jihe large cities of the" country dis tricts,. simply because charitable agencies think they can thus re hove themselves of an unpleasant burden , is much like throwing one's weeds over one's neighbor's fence into his garden. . - (To be Continued.)

Senator Overman's Bill With Referance to the Cotton Trade in the Orient. Senator Overman held a confer- ence ith th SecrGfcarv of the De partmenfc of Commerce and Labor today, the result of which is of im- tance tQ thQ Soutneru States generally. A final agreement was reached respecting Senator Over man's bill designed to extend the cotton trade in the Orient. Under the revised bill it is proposed to appoint a commission of five ex ports, whose labors to extend the cotton trade will be under the di rect supervision of the depart ment. Some of these commission ers or agents will make trips abroad and a display of cotton goods, de signed for export, will be made in all cotton manufacturing centers in Southern and New England States, while agencies are to be established where information will be given as to trade conditions and tne kind of goods being pur chased in the various markets of the world. It is thought the sub committee to which this was re- feired will agree to this substitute and that it will be reported favor ably at an early date. The con sular agents will also be directed to work in harmony with those who are to be assigned to this work. Washington Dispatch, 23.

Kinney, a Confederate soldier and a well known farmer, nad quite a dangerous experience recently and luckily escaped with his life. He was crossing Flat Swamp creek bridge when some timbers gave way and precipated horses, wagon and driver into the creek 15 feet below, where the water is about four feet deep. Mr. Kinney was thrown clear of the wagon and timbers and so escaped unhurt, although completely sub merged. Some people went quickly to Mr. Kinney's assistance and the team was gotten out without much damage. It seems nothiug short of a miracle that the driver and horses were not killed.

Fred Garrett, from the Hannah's place, about six miles from Salis bury, who stood in the box and shut the boys out for several in pnings. The tfheen boys were very badly disappointed.

ALBEMARLE AND STANLY COUNTY. Fife Wrecks on the Yadkin In i Week. Big Business. Stanly Enterprise, March 8th. v Five wrecks on the Yadkin Rail road last week was the record.

Stewards of the Methodist church contemplate moving the parsonage so as to front Third street, next door to the new residence being erected by W. Henry Snuggs. J. T. Cole and others are inter esting themselves, in . getting a weaving mill in northwest Albe marle. A site will be donated, and Mr. Coltrane of Concord, is ex pected to become interested in the scheme." G. M. MoNider, of the Agricul tural Department at Raleigh, is in Albemarle. He drove out to Plyler yesterday to visit eome o the farms of that vicinity. Mr. Mo Nider is making a perliminary in vestigation of the soil, with a view of locating a soil survey in this section, - N I One of the county's well known citizens' passed away on the 15th instant, in the person of John Q, Lambert, who lived near Misaion. He ha'd been sick Beveral weeks' with lagrippe and "paralysis. He was 65 years of age,nd leaves a widow and eight grown children to mourn his loss.

Cornell seems convinced that the railroad will be built, and appearances just now may be said to be exceed ingly favorable to that end. Restitution and Vindication. What a sigh of relief went up from many gratifying patriots when "Judge" Hamilton publicly told the New York legislature that he would .not tell where some' of that $1,354,000 life insur ance yellow dog fund instrusted to him for "law and legislative expenses" went to. A similar sigh would relieve the hardened heart of Babcock. chairman of the nnWwi ' rw. I r w 0 mittee, and the younger and less hardened heart of Cortelyouhe chairman of the republican nation al committee, if he could be sure that no invesigating committee would want to know, "where did it come from': and what "did you do with it?" Even the strenuous oc cupant of the White House, whose campaign was financed with these tainted contributions, would rest easier if he could see his way to wash his hands of the whole wretched business. .The President owes it to his good name to order restitution to be made to the fund sacred to widows and orphans, and he certainly owes an apology to 'Judge -Parker for : vir tually telling him, he-wagweir: exaggerating when he charged the" now admitted 'fact, of these taint ed contributions. ; v.
