THE PROGRESS OF CHARLOTTE Tf a stranger nicks UD any one of . - " B T the Charlotte papers he will be able to judge that they aw published in a live and growing city. Newspa pers are fair representatives of the prosperity of a city and so it is that the Charlotte papers will convey an impression that will at once speak well of their town. A live newspa per does not always make a liye town hut a live town always tarns ont a I live newspaper. Naturally a news paper records in its columns the progress of a city. Its substantial industries are mentioned with pride and there must necessarily be con-j siderable blowing oyer the estab lishment of new ones, rejoicing oyer the growth of population and the in flux of capital, and thus a newspa per becomes a reflex of the enter prise, progress and prosperity of its city. Charlotte, howeyer, has one citi zen who does not appreciate the newspaper aB a factor and certain force in city building. We do not know whether that citizen is much of a force In building up his city, but what he Baid to the representa tive of the Evening jhroniele a day j A - 1 J. - - . yji bffu Bgu oJiuwB may duxuo ml uis conceptions are out of gear with the progressive citizen. Here is how the Chronicle reports him, and then gives him some wholesome enlight enment: - A man stopped a Chronicle re porter on the street the other day and registered a kick because the local papers print so much about the development and growth of Charlotte, saying: "Everybody knows that Charlotte is prosper ous, so what's the use of filling the papers with stuff about the organ ization of new companies, the building of new houses and telling of all the new people that come here to live?" What's the use, in deed? If there is anything of more Importance than that which deals with the progress and welfare of the community, the newspaper men nave not found it out and it is their business to tell of the things that reflect the life and growth of the community. But there are all sorts of people in the world. Perhaps the gentle man who objects to reading so much that tends to show that Charlotte is the best town in the South would prefer to be regaled with a lot of , dirty scandal and other reeking stuff; out one is inclined to the opinion that, if such is the case, he forms the greater part of a mighty small majority in this town. The average citizen of Charlotte would believe the bottom had fallen out of things if he dlddn't read In the papers every aay or two stories telling ox a new factory to be built or the organiza tion of an important enterprise and ne would believe correctly so far as tne jbveninq Chronicle was con cerned. When we read the above in the CJironicle' we were overwhelmed with astonishment to learn that any man interested in the develop ment of .his city could entertain such an idea. We thought of Kip van Winkle at once as a good side partner for the man who has so little conception of the sphere of usefulness of a paper in the building of his city. Ti 1 . is nas oeen ten years or more since we were in Charlotte and we have only kept up with that grow ing city through Its newspapers, The story told daily by the press of that city has deeply impressed us with the enterprise and growth of Charlotte, and while, we have kept np with that in this way there are tnose wno teii us tnat we wouldn't know Charlotte now if we have not been there in ten years to see how the city has developed. notwithstanding the opinion of the man who talked to the' Chroni- cie representative, nere comes the varonicie oi m.onqay to give us further enlarged impressions of its growing city: To-night the city will be lighted . by means of machinery which Is being driven by the waters of the Catawba river abont eighteen miles away from the- city.: .The- location. of this water power and machinery is in another State. The turnine on to-night of the current marks an era In the progress of tula eltv. Charlotte- becomes - In the very forefront of cities ' which hate all the conditions necessary for the development -and economic op eration of small and diversified man ufactures, while continuing to be a most favorable location for the larg er enterprises also. When the new waterworks is com pleted the conditions here will be still further improved. I Meanwhile the present supply of water is suffi cient for any one who is now ready to utilize any part of the power which the Catawba Power Company has brought to the city and has now ready for sale. In congratulating ourselves and the new company which is entering upon a contract to light the city, we deem It in no wise amiss, but on tne contrary no more than just, to compliment the com pany which la relinquishing the con tract.; I . .(. We should now all work together 4- i 1 to f orwerd the interests of Charlotte. The seed time of our prosperity is now at hand. If we work in har mony and with reasonable energy the harvest will be a fruitful one. That from the Chronicle is a tre mendous advertisment of Charlotte. The world is made to know that Charlotte is not only lighted by electricity furnished from the har nessed Catawba,but that It furnishes the city electric current to run cot ton mills and other (manufacturing enterprises. We are truly envious of Charlotte, but if there had not "been a live newspaper J to tell us about this new and wonderful ad vantage of the Queen City our envy might have been spared innot find ing It out until a hearse brought the news sometime in the future. Some people surely do not apprei elate what their papers are doing for their community. W AH TED A COLONIAL SEORE- TARY. "Insular affaira" is the manner in which the administration refers to matters touching our colonies. iu UiUi buuui uuiuuiai tvu.au o might make the people sit up too straight and ga to thinking. With the vast possessions which we now haye outside of the American do main, how long will It be until we will be compelled to have another Cabinet officer ;to be called the Secretary of Colonies ? j If the American peopie do not elect J udge Parker to the Presidency inside of the next 80 days, our government may as well contemplate the estab lishment of a colonial secretaryship, if it is desired to exploit our colo nial policy in a way to develop our possessions for all they are worth. The idea is quite monstrous that a republic which was established upon a bloody war that was fonght for eight years because there was "taxa tion without representation" and to establish the principle that our form of government shall depend upon the consent of the governed, should pur chase people and their possessions and exploit them in the manner that caused the Thirteen Original States to rebel against the sovereignty and government of Great Britain. To say the least of it, the Repub lican policy is un-American. If the American people look at it right they will elect as their President Alton Brooks Parker, who understands our constitution and will restore our gov ernment to the principles which that constitution embodies.

President Roosevelt is strangely altered. He does not carry the big stick of the conti nental policeman; he speaks in a subdued voice when he does speak, and he has adopted the role of the Silent Man with no thought cf up setting the world's peace. Mexican Herald. i The New York Sun has fol lowed J. Pierpont Morgan's exam- pie in favoring the Roosevelt and Fairbanks ticket. Possibly this is a case of cause and effect, but any way tne republicans are to be com misserated. The Sun as Roosevelt's "candid friend" will do him more harm than good. Eastern Argus, (Portland, Maine.) A Republican who ! has been about Washington headquarters teas tne correspondent of j the New York Sun that there is some hope oi carrying some southern congres sional districts and he mentions amongst others, districts in Loui siana, Virginia and Mississippi, and even suggests that there might be "something doing" in this State. This is absurd, but 'the statement he makes that Democrats are gen erally apathetic because of the dis franchisement of the negro, besides quoting figures of the last election in Southern congressional districts, should be directed to the attention of all Southern Democrats. The vote as quoted, which we take to be correct, was ridiculously small for the election of a congressman. Columbia Record. .

Bean the mM ton Haw Always Bought It is lust & common cold, people Bay. there's no danger in that. : Admitting their statement, then there are uncommon colds, colds which are dangerous ; tor many a fatal sickness begins with a cold. If we could tell the common cold from the un common we could feel quite safe. But we can't. The uncommon variety is rarely recognized until it has fastened its hold on the lungs, and there are symptoms of con sumption. At the first symptoms the careful person will heed the warning by taking a mild laxative: some vegetable pill, that will not disturb the system or cause griping. About the best is "Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. If the cold starts with a cough, and it oersists then some local treatment for this condition 'should be taken. A well known alterative extract, which has been highly recommended by thousands of users, is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This tonic compound is composed of an extract of roots and kerbs and has a sooth ing effect upon the mucous membrane, alfavs the irritation and at the same time works in the proper and reasonable way, at the seat of the trouble the stagnated or poisoned blood. " It contains no alcohol to shrivel up the blood corpuscles, but makes pure rich red blood. . - - Tr WM-ro'sainon-naire illustrated book..

These two are a combination as dangerous as a boy and a gun, or a woman and a kerosene can. Did you ever hear of a Gover nor coming from the ranks of the ball room gents, who wear swallow tailor coats and shirt fronts as big as a tray? We do not recall one, but many have hauled rails in the rain and driven spotted oxen to town after a load of fertilizers. Charity and Children, Thomasville. Greenville Reflector: The Re flector has about reached the conclu sion that the spirit oi license taxes is wrong. It looks like a tax upon industry. Take the merchant for example, lie pays his advaiorem tax on what he possesses, has to pay another tax for the privilege of do ing business, and in addition to this has a still further tax of a certain per cent, on his gross sales. Other examples might be given in which special taxes are equally unjust, but this one Is sufficient to Illustrate the point in mind. In many instances license taxes are overworked and are burdensome. We are not prepared to offer a substitute, but it would be better to encourage industry rather than hinder it. Capt. J. D Phillips, of Spen cer, who had for a number of years been freight conductor running out of that place on the Southern Bail- way, was arrested at his home Mon day on the charge of robbing a freight car in transit, the articles taken being principally merchan dise. The arrest, which has caused quite a sensation, was effected by Chief Detective Dave Julian and J. A. Slceloff, who have been working on the case for a number of weeks. Among the articles found at the home of Conductor Phillips were two new typewriters which had been taken from a box car in De cember, 1902, together with a lot of bolt goods and clothing. In default of a $1,000 bond he was committed to jail to await a preliminary hear ing. When seen at the jail Monday afternoon by a newspaper reporter, Mr. Phillips declined to talk further than to protest his innocence of the serious crime with which he" is charged. Phillips is a young man, parently SO years of age. He refuses to talk of the 'charge under which he is in the custody of the law. Charlotte Chronicle. Aug. 15: The Geo. H. McFadden Brothers, who succeed to the cotton business of Mr. J. H. Sloan, began opera tions to-day under the new and en larged connections.

COTTON a AHKETS. y tsMcrash to the Morning Star New Tort. Aug. 16. The cotton market opened steady at a net advance of one to thirteen points in response to better cables than looked for, furth er talk of too much rain in the eastern belt encouraged by the appearance of moderate precipitation at two or three points and apprehensions of a bullish crop report at midday. But the con tinued increase In receipts of new crop cotton as reflected by the estimates for the day's ports and the figures report ed for the day by Houston checked any general buying movement and after selling up to an advance oi about six to seven points the market worked back to a level two to three points over last night's figures The weekly report oi tne weather Bureau was read about this level and proved rather more bullish than had been generally expected, as It Indicated a more or less general deterioration dur ing the week. It was backed up to a a certain extent by a statement issued by a local crop authority showing a deterioration in the crop of about two per cent, of tne average since July 25th. At first the Influence of these two reports and the rath er disappointing estimate for to-morrow's receipts at Houston where only twelve hundred to fifteen hun dred bales are expected, was offset by the liquidation of smaller longs and the market immediately after the re port showed Irregularity rather than firmness. Later, however, there was bull support from lower Wall street and with nervous shorts covering the market advaneed to a net gain of about fourteen to seventeen points. The close was steady within a point or two of the best or a net twelve to fifteen points higher. Sales were estimated at 125,000 bales. lisrw YonmVAug. 16.
