The Philadelphia Press ia one of the Northern Republican papers which devotes a good deal of atten tion to political movements in the South. alwayB with a view to making some partisan and generally un founded remarks thereon. Yester day we quoted and commented npon an editorial from it, explaining and attempting to justify the exclusion of negro delegates from Republican State conventions, as had been done in this State andhas been practically done in Alabama, where the con vention managers will no doubt follow the lead of Republican man agers in this State, when they meet in convention on the 16th inst. In the issue following the one from which we quoted it refers to the recent primaries held in Alabama and succeeded in drawing a broad side from the Washington Post in the following: It is our ever-esteemed contempo rary, the Press, habitat, Philadelphia, Pa., a city that has long possessed and seemed to really enjoy world-wide no- tnnntv f nr nnoximnlpn frauds in elec tions, that shies this domic k at the Alabama Democrats : 'The Democratic newspapers in Alabama are throwing up their bats and shouting themselves hoarse over the assertion that the recent primary election in that State was free of fraud Honest elections have been so rare in that 8tate that when they have one they are as much tickled as a four- year old over bis first pair of new boots." Is it because misery loves company and hates to part with it thatlhe Press is moved to indulge in that style of comment on an honest election in Alabama? Is it envy that prompts this malicious detraction? The Press realizes that the era of election frauds in the South is rapidly being closed out by the adoption of legal methods for the exclusion of ignor ance from the suffrage. The Press knows, and its files bear abundant tes timony to the fact, that wholesale election frauds have become the regu lar order, the normal thing, in the metropolis of Pennsylvania. Does it ruffle our contemporary's tember to see the dawn of better politics in the South, while that metropolis still abides in and clings to its filthy politi cal rags? We say "clings to" because it is well known that the usual prepa rations are being made for fraudulent voting in November. Perhaps the estimate of 80,000 unlawful votes for which the Press stands sponsor may not be realized this year, but the Press knows that the gang, with which it Is now on amicable if not amiable terms, will do its best toward reaching if not beating its proud record. A word by way of comparison of the election frauds in the South with those in Pennsylvania may be inter esting, and may possibly conduce to a more charitable spirit on the part of a few critics. In the South the purpose of such frauds has been in the interest of good government, strange as that may sound. By the adoption of the negro suffrage amendment the Re publican party forced upon the white people of the South, the property owning and responsible citizens of that section, the dire necessity of rul ing by fraud or force, or both. There is not a State, a city or a county in the Union whose people, situated as was the 8outn, would not have asserted and maintained the God given right of the men who owned the property and paid the taxes, the educated class, the race that always had ruled, to continue in control. American manhood has not in any part of this republic sunk so low that in the alternative which the Republi can party forced on the South, it would not have taken the course it nas followed in that section. Not the least of the many evils resulting from the fifteenth amendment has been the compulsion of the Southern whites to resort to intimidation and fraud for the protection of their natural rights. No such excuse is possible in the case of Pennsylvania's debauchery of the ballot box. It has not been a choice of evils, but a deliberate of evil as against right. It has not been in the interest of, but against the inter ests and rights of the better elements of society. It has been, it it, and it seems determined to continue to be. carefully plotted crime against all r that is reputable and decent in the in terest of public plunderers. With this brief analysis and com parison Of the two kinds of fraud the one UU rampant In Pennsylyan-i- the other happily dying out in the South we leave our Philadelphia contemporary to the serene enjoyment of Its fraternal fellowship with the 1Mnearainst which it was in ear- u r and more stirring traces a bold, wnhL living Insurgent. Xhii i boys might call gockaoloteriw r a once noted statesman from Davidson county, would call a "surbiuder," all the heavier hitter because it comes from a non-partisan paper, which views questions political from an in dependent standpoint and criticises, when it thinks there is ground for it, the South and the Democratic party quite as. tartly as it does the Republican election mauagera of the orthodox Republican State of Penn sylvania. There isn't a word it Bays here about corrupt elections in Philadel phia, or in defence of the Southern Democrats, which ia not true to the letter. As far as fraudulent elec tions go Philadelphia has the repu tation of being the most notoriously and shamelessly corrupt city in the United States, a reputation not based upon the representations of outsiders, but upon the state ments supported by facts and fig ures of leading papers published in that city, and not of one party only but of all parties, including the Re publican party. Ample proof of this could be cited from the columns of the Press itself when it was poB ing as a "reform" organ and sup porting John Wanamaker and oth era in opposition to the Quay fac tion. Then its columns briBtled with accusations of fraud and cor ruption, which we take it for grant ed was true, for we never would sua pect the Press of deliberately mis representing its own city, however anxious it might be to clean the Aagean stable, which proved entire ly too large a job for it. Mr. John Wanamaker and his paper, and the other reformers combined. The Philadelphia Record and the Times have both positively asserted that there are on the registry lists of that city fifty thousand names of straw voters fraudulent voters who were fictitious, many of whom are dead, if they were ever alive. Pennsylvania has a law requiring the payment of poll tax as a requisite before being permitted to vote, a law similar to which in this State has evoked so much condemna tion from Republicans. As a revenue measure it may be a success, but as a promoter of fraud it is a still greater success, because it is a noto rious fact that the politicians of both partiea, but especially of the Repub lican party, which has control of the machinery, election officers and po lice, corrall these voters, pay their poll tax and get their votes. Posai bly they may offer some other in centive to vote, but the fact remains that they pay the taxes and get the votes. It, therefore, as the Post perti nently remarks, doesn't come with a good grace from a Republican or gan of that city to discourse upon fraudulent elections in the South until the conditions in Pennsylva nia are materially improved, and fraud plays a less conspicuous part in the elections in that State, and especially in Philadelphia, where the Press will find a field that would offer it occupation for some time to come, without ever turning an eye South ward to spy something that would give it a chance to take a whack at Southern Democrats, who are at tending strictly to business, without giving a thought to Pennsylvania or Philadelphia, or undertaking to meddle with them, or instruct their Republican managers how to con duct their elections. RAISING CATTLE Iff THE SOUTH The State Department of Agri culture has just issued a valuable bulletin on cattle raising in North Carolina, which discusses the possi bilities in that industry and gives some useful information to those engaged in or who may engage in it. In the issue forx this week of the Baltimore Manufacturers' Record Mr. C. J. Haden, of Atlanta, has a communication giving the results of his observations in a' trip through the cattle-raising ranges of the West, which convinced him that the pine regions of Georgia are better adapted to successful and profitable cattle-raising than the Western plains are, for the reasons that there is more grass, more water, and that the cattle are not exposed to the vicissitudes of storms that some times come suddenly with disas trous results upon the ranges, nor to the depredations of the numerous packs of hungry coyotes that infest those plains, prey upon the herds and reduce the dividends of the herdsmen. Singular as it may seem, the Re cord asserts, based on census fig ures, that notwithstanding the in crease in population, in the number of farms, and the increasing demand for beef cattle, with a correspond ingly increased price, there are fewer cattle in some of the Southern States now than there were in 1860, and in others fewer than there were in 1880, attributable in part to the all cotton growing craze, and in part to the large number of young cattle sold to be shipped to the West, fat tened, killed and shipped back South as beef. There is good ground for every thing that Mr. Haden says in fa vor of that industry in Georgia, and what he says of Georgia is true to a greater or less extent of North Caro lina and every other Southern State, every one of which is well adapted to stock raising. -The fact is that with the climate, range and other advantages the South should be the cattle-raising section of this coun- Smf 7l be BOme day hea our viewo?.6 Ule, business view ot such methods. HANDICAPPING ROOSEVELT. Senator. T. C. Piatt, of New York, is the boss Republican ma chine manager of the Empire State. Some time ago, before Mr. Roose velt started out on his New Eng land swing 'round, the boss yisited him at Oyster Bay (was carried there, too, by the way, in a Govern ment vessel which was put at his service) and it was reported that the purpose of his visit was to assure Mr. Roosevelt that he could count on the solid support of the party in his State for the nomination in 1904. The boss was speaking of the ma chine which he manipulates quite as dictatorially as Senator Pritchard bosses the Republican machine in this State. Since then Mr. Roosevelt has dia coursed somewhat freely on the trust question in his speeches to the New Englanders, which seems to have brought about a second thought in the think box of the New York ma chine boss, who being asked what the State convention would have to say about Roosevelt and the truBts, is thus quoted by the New York Herald: "President Roosevelt's admiaistra tion will be indorsed in the State plat form, but the resolutions will not ai vocate his nomination in 1904. "There will be some allusion to the President's view of trusts in the plat form, but how far it will go I am not now prepared to say. It may not go as far as the President has gone." The platform which will be run through that convention has, doubtless, already been incubated, and T. C. Piatt knows exactly what it will say about Roosevelt and the trusts. It may not, he ventures to predict, go as far on the trust question "as the President has gone." If it doesn't the boss might as well follow Pritchard's lead in this State, and let his convention be mum on the trusts, for the Presi dent hasn't said enough to alarm or hurt any of them. The fact is he has been exceedingly cautious and conservative, and has taken good care to draw a bold letter distinction between the "good trusts" and the "bad trusts." Mr. rlatt, however, serves notice on Mr.Roosevelt, that in any remarks he may henceforth Bee fit to make on the trusts he had better draw them mild if he would avoid snags in his own State. T. C Piatt is a big boss there, and he has use for the trusts, which are very valuable allies in political cam paigns. We are frequently reminded of the fact that "chiokens come home to roost," and old roosters too. In 1S48 Richard A. Shelton, of Staf ford county, Va., enlisted to fight the Mexicans. As nothing had been heard of him since then his folks settled down to the belief that he had died on the field of glory. Bnt he didn't die there nor anywhere else, for unheralded he took those of them who were left by surprise by lighting in among them hale and hearty from his ranch in Missouri, where he has been living for some years. Alter getting through with the Mexicans he got a roaming fit on him, travelled over the world and finally anchored in Missouri. He had never contracted the habit of letter writing and of licking stamps. Mrs. Conway, of New York, who has established a record for note worthy babies, elipsecHier previous eight performances by giving birth to a thirty-pound daughter a few days ago, which is just four times the weight of the average baby at birth. Here are the dimensions; circumference of head around the forehead 16 inches, around cheeks 17 6-4, of arm 7, of thigh 17 2-4, of chest 22 1-2, length of baby 26 inch es which is 1-2 inches longer than the average baby. The doctors pronounce it a model of physical perfection. The moth er weighs only 230 pounds. rWINKLINUS A Benefactor "But has he ever done anything useful?" "You bet he has.

SPIRITS TURPENTINE. Durham Sun: Some weeks ago we mentioned the fact that but little rain had fallen on Ool. B. Cameron'j farm at 8tagville, this county, during the Spring and Summer. The present Ute of things still exist?, and as a con sequence the crops are nearly ruined on that plantation. Goldsboro Argus: A shoe maker working in the shops of Mr. W. L. Summer li a claims to have been entirely cured of rheumatism by light ning. He had been a sufferer for years nnd last week while visiting out in the country he received a severe shock of electricity from the lightning which struck some object near the house in which he was staying. He claims a total cure. He is not anxious to re peat the experiment, however, and his testimony will not induce others to wish for a similar mode of cure. Monroe Enquirer: Mr, James Martin, of Chesterfield county, S. C, is a much married man, he having stood at the marriage altar nine times. Mr. Martin's last marriage was on Wednesday of last week when he married Miss Benie Boone. Mr. James McNeely brings us a plum, we do not know of wha vanetv. but in size it surnasses anvthiDg we have ever seen in the way of a plum. The plum weighs 4 J ounces and is as large as a good sized peach. Laurinburg Exchanae: Mr. E. W. McKinnon carried several hogs heads of fine tobacco to the Lumber- ton warehouse last Saturday. He planted about 20 acres in tobacco, and we hear he will clear between 150 and $100 per acre. This is far better than any cotton crop in the county. Five hundred and three bales of new cotton were received in Laurinburg during the month of August, against one bale for the same month last year. This bale was marketed on the last day of August by the late Mr. A. B. Shaw. Asheville Citizen: As a result of a mad dog bite about three weeks ago, a valuable young heifer belong- inflrtoO. R. Whitaker. of Biltimore, was to-day shot, having developed hydrophobia. The animal betrayed no signs of the disease until yesterday. It then became frantic and beyond all control. The same dog which caused the death of the heifer bit a number of other cattle and also some dogs near Gash's Creek. Rutherford, it ap pears, will take all prizes for big melons this season. The watermelons recently brought from that county are the largest yet sf en this year on the Asheville market. A number of them have weighed batween 50 and 58 poundr. The biggest one so far weighed 60 pounds. Raleigh News and Observer: The five-year old son of J. T. Hsrris, of Asheville, bitten a month ago by a mad dog, returned Wednesday from the Pasteur Institute, JNew xors, where the case was pronounced hope less. The child, who is suffering ter ribly, is dying. Physicians say he can not live but a short time. The child is a nephew of Senator Pritchard. The journey back to Asheville from New York was a terrible experience to the father. After the train left Salisbury the child was seized with convulsions so awful that it was necessary to tele graph ahead for physicians at almost every station to administer opiates. At bis home in Asheville it was necessary for some one to hold the child in bed and be frequently tore at the pillow, as though defend mg himself from an imaginary foe. He frequently called for water but would never drink. Robert Wil liams, engineer for the Cleveland cotton mills, was instantly killed at Lawn dale Wednesday night in a dynamo belt. While he was standing near the belt, working with a pump, the steam began to ooze from it, when he stepped back into the belt, which carried him around the wheel twice, breaking his neck, jawbone, leg, and mangling his body very much. Wadesboro Messenger-Intelli gencer: Samuel Stewart Spencer Mc- Cauley, Esq., died at his home in Mon roe Hunday night, aged 79 years. Mr. McvJauley was a native of Orange county but had been living in Monroe for many years. He had been a jus tice of the peace almost continuously since the war and was several times mayor of Monroe. Pete, Mr. Ed. B rower's ancient cat, died Tuesday at the advanced age of twenty and half years. Pete was the oldest cat ever heard of in these parts. There has been great deterioration in cot ton in this section in the last three weeks. The crop in Anson will not be more than 65 per cent, of a full crop.

Sick and nervous headaches are amonirat the worst ills of life. The man or woman who is subject to head ache at irregular intervals, goes through life bearing a load of misery and wretchedness that is terrible to think of. Headaches as a rule, result from a disordered condition of the nervous svstem. Mental excitement, loss of leeo. bodilv fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting causer. When the brain becomes tired and debilita ted, the whole nervous system is weakened, and headaches result. If the liver is sluggish, the kidneys Inactive, and digestion deranged, head aches invariably follow. lo cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys tem must be strengthened and vital ized. The most persistent cases of headache, nervous feebleness, aud sleeplessness, are permanently cured by Paine's Celery Compound ; it is the great reconstructant of the nervous system. Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair. Micb.. tells of her release from sufferine as follows: "I have been troubled with dvspsp sia and sick headache for a number or years. About every week I would have a bad spell of sick headache, but since I began using Paine's Celbry Comnound. mi dvsDODSia is gone, and I do not have any more head aches. I feel better than 1 have for years." CURRENT CUMMHM Secretary Wilson's hopes that the abundance of corn will re duce the cost of beef may be well founded. But the argument is based on a method of reasoning which prevailed some time before the trusts came into operation. Washington Star, Rep. The English press is dis mayed upon finding that the chief problem in South Africa is not the disposition of the Boers, but of the negroes. American attempts to solve a like problem do not hold out much encouragement to the Eng lish. Mobile Register. Dem. The Democrats in Pennsyl vania have one congressman tor every 106,000 votes they poll, while the republicans have a representa tive for every 27,000 Republican votes. This is a fair specimen of the grab game which the party of enlightened, mortality, silence, di vision and trusts always plays when it has the power. Louisville Cou rier Journal, Dem. The President's speeches be come less and less practical as he feels increasingly the force of the restraint put upon him by his party mana gers. Debarred by the party lead ers from any pointed discussion of the questions which are of real con cern to the people, he necessarily turns to subjects upon which one may talk endlessly witnout giving offense to voters of any conceivable tendency. This is why we find him dealing over and over again with the Monroe Doctrine, which has as little to do with any problem before the Administration, or of immediate concern to the people, as the procession of equinoxes or the phrases of the moon. The Monroe Doctrine is not challenged in any quarter. When England acquiesc ed in the interpretation of it made under Cleveland by Secretary Ulney it became as firmly settled in in ternational law as the principal of freedom on the high seas. Brook lyn Citizen. Tie fbe mad. the Jackdaw. In Savernake forest I once witnessed -.Very pretty little scene. I noticed a doe lying down by herself In a grassy Hollow, and as I passed her at a dis tance of about fifty yards it struck me as singular that she kept her head bo low down that I could only see the top of It on a level with her back. Walk ing round tor get a better sight, I saw a Jackdaw standing on the turf before her, very busily pecking at her face. With my glass I was able to watch her movements very closely. He pecked round her eyes, then her nostrils, her throat and in act every part of her face, and, just as a man when being shaved turns his face this way and that under the gentle guiding touch of the barber's fingers and lifts up bis chin to allow the razor to pass beneath It, so did the doe raise and lower and turn her face about to enable the bird to examine and reach every part with his bill. Finally the daw left the face and, moving round, jumped on the deer's shoulders and began a minute search in that part. Having finished this, he jumped on to the head and pecked at the forehead and round the bases of the ears. The pecking done, he remained for some seconds sitting perfectly still, looking very pretty with the graceful red head for a stand, the doe's long ears thrust out on either side of him. Birds and Man. Hoar Not a Schoolmaster. Senator Tillman pronounces the word ''gyrate" as if the "g" was hard. He says "guvrate." So does Senator Foraker. When the pronunciation fell upon the ear3 of Senator Hoar, he shrug ged his shoulders. He is a stickler for correct English, and it was re markable, says the Washington Post, that he did not express in the open senate his sorrow at hearing a word mispronounced. "It is Mi-rate, he said later when some one asked him about the word. "But," he added. "I haven't the time to play schoolmaster here.

The cotton market opened firm, with prices two points lower on September and two to five points higher on later option?, this being in keeping with rather bet ter Liverpool cables than antici pated and on further bullish crop reports from Georgia, Alabama and Texas. But at the higher prices profit-taking set in through the commission house channels and the bears thought they saw evi dence of liquidation by the Wail street bull clique. A quics: drive at the Fall months led to a general decline in price?. January worked off to 8.44, At this level the bull syndi cate flooded the market with buying orders, despite reports of good rains where most needed iu Genrcia. the central belt and in Texas. The shorts became alarmed and for the next two hours or more the tendency was steadily upward. The January option advanced to 8.54 with other months up acccriingly. Speculation was fairly active on tha rally but Eu rope, the South and tbe public in ereu- eral were slow to come out boldly on the buying side. The in sight statement of Superintendent King was some thing of a surprise, in that it gave 135,000 bales, against 75,000 bales a year ago, but for the time beicg l.d not affect the market. Then came the visible supply figures, showm? a loss for tbe world of 34,000 bales, against a loss same time last year of 104.000 bale?. The American visible was stated to have increased 3,000 bales, whereas same week last year there was a de crease of 58,000 bales. These figures led to heavy realizing, under which prices broke badly, January to 8.40. The market was finally easy and net iour to seven points lower. Nw Yobk. Sent. 5.

Chicago, Spt. 5. Grain specula tors became excited to day over the possibilities of frosts in the unripe grains to-morrow, in spite of the fact that the weather map indications were very favorable. While const r rati ve traders scoffed at the icconsistency with which the markets ral itd to-day whereas yesterday they-slumped when frost was ou the ground, tbe result of the days trading was a good gain all around. The probable reason for this was that the bulls did hive a very good plank in their plat'orir, that of .chronic poor grading of re ceipts at this point.
