WILLUU H. BBESARD. , WILMINGTON. N. 0. Wksbsdat MoiuroffG Fbb. l. SO COLORED TE00P3 70S GEOBQIA. Lincoln Guards, of Macon, The Ga., commanded by Captain Sandy Lockoart, is a-colored military com pany, Ibut we are not Informed whether it is one of the companies of the Georgia military establishment or not . At any rate the company had already made arrangements to attend the inauguration of President Booseveltat Washington, March 4th but when formal request was made to Got. Terrell for leave of absence for the trlprthe Governor denied it on the ground that he does not want the State of Georgia represented on such an occasion by negro troops. This gives Governor Vardaman, of Mi83is8lppi, another opportunity to come to the front and. he does it in this stvle in a tele2ram to Governor Terrell: . : " ' , u . "Permit me to congratulate the white people of Georgia upon the character of their Chief Executive and to commend you. my dear sir, most heartily for your conduct in refusing - to allow the State of Georgia to be dishonored by being represented at the inauguration of the President by a negro military company. This act will bring down upon your devoted head the severest condemnation of the misinformed negrophiles of the North, the office-bribed referees of the South, and a few broad-minded and pa triotic office-holders and political creatures of both . sections," : but nine-tenths "of the decent liberty' loving, self-respecting white people of the .'South commend your act. I thank God that a few of the faithful old guard are with us still, Southern gentlemen in authority, who cannot be bribed with Federal patronage or debauched with presi dential flattery. - j - "James X. Vabdaman." , -We would have thought that Gov ernor Yardanian would have gloried in having some darkey companies to seixdio Washington in order to show that la all the respect Mississippi has for the President. However, a State has to be very careful how it sends military representatives to Washing ton We have seen there some white companies which did anything else than reflect credit on the States they came from. In sending up his col ored soldiers Governor Terrell might ran the risk of giving Georgia a black eye.' -: '!'

Japanese influ ences predominate in all branches' of the Chinese, government; but the , most significant tidings Is that the Chinese are placing large orders for arms and ammunition. The snr . ; prising part of it is that China seems to have plenty of cash to pay for her supplies, j III If Japan whips the fight, it will only take her a few years to teach China and train her to take care Of her own territorial integrity, with i the assistance of Japan. LETTHBTBIMH1KS GO J I The Columbia Record in an edi torial reminds us of some politicians in North Carolina. Says our ea : teemed Columbia contemporary : , t ; ' ."The comptroller general made, some most valuable suggestions in his annual report as to taxation and , the finances of the state generally, but as yet few, if any, bills carrying his ideas have been introduced.This ; is not because legislators do not en ' dorse his views, but many of . them hesitate tn father the bills for fear that it might hnrt their 1 political fortunes at home. There is this difference between ; Mr. Jones and very many legislators. He looks at these matters ' from the ' : broad standpoint ' of good for the State and the people at large. They - look noon them within the restricted - ; view of count; lines and personal political lutert.t. And that fact is largely responsible for non-action . in many matters that have been : '. pressing for solution for years." ; I , It is about time that men begin, to understand that it is time to quit doing the straddling and trlmmine stnnts.

Sa vannah Morning News 5 I . We hope and believe that the speeches made yesterday in op position to the immigration departi ment represent very nearly the num erical strength of the opposition. Some of the speakers made it an issue in their ? campaign, and nat urally, felt called upon to standby their views In the house, and while, we give most of them full credit for sincerity, we note that a number Of them have utterly wronsr views of tha aims of the denartment. which are laid down by law. Throughout the speeches there ran a vein of tnougnt that the principal object was to brine laborers here to work in cotton mills, thus makine an opening wedge towards driving out native labor. coinmbia itecora. rWlNKLINU!

The pair were found by a porter of the hotel, who. becoming aware of a strong smell of gss from a second floor room, broke in , the door. He at once notified the police and summoned an ambu lance. The doctor who responded to the call said that both man and woman nad been dead for some hours. The police believe that the man had fallen asleep In a chair and that the woman bad, In arising in the dark, turned on the gas Inad vertentiy. In the man's pocket was a letter bearing the heading, "211 Bixth street, Uharlotte." it was ad dressed, "Dear Husband," and ad vised the recipient to turn over his money to "Mr. Fisher."; The letter was signed c,Yonr Loving Wife.' Nothing could be learned of White here last night, it being said at the 8ixth street address given that no such person: was: known there. Charlotte Observer, ---i - Charlotte Observer: That was a pretty strong argument made be fore- a legislative committee the other day against the proposed measure to stop -the. running of freight trains on Sunday. It was stated and with probable accuracy that if the proposed measure vrere were adopted it would have the effect of . causing - discrimination against trnckgrowers in Eastern North Carolina for the reason that trains from trucking district in South Carolina or .Georgia could go thundering through the State on Sunday without hindrance, because of the inter state Commerce laws, while no freight cars could start from North Carolina. These vege table . trams, which are gen erally bound for New York or points in that vicinity, pass through or start from North Caro lina every day save Friday, owing to the fact that they are timed to ar rive at their destination daily except Sunday. Should the proposed North Carolina law have the effects men tioned above, it would be np to the truck growers to beat about like the anti-jug law evaders have been do ing if unable to get their cars out of the State in a northerly direction before 12 o'clock Saturday night, it seems that they could have them taken across the line into South Car ollna and next day get a good start mrougn this State as a solid ship ment to a point further North. ;: Perhaps you don't realize that ntn pain poisons originate in your food, but .some day you may feel twinge t ' i?rp, VUBWH cnvace you.

After a quiet and uninteresting ; morning, during which prices barely moved, the : cot ton market became more active 'and stowed, considerable fimnest, chiefly as a result Of talk of a better, spot de mand and ' disappointment among small shorts, that the expectations of a bearish census report to-morrow htd not been accompanied by more ag greisl ve operations on the part of bear leaders. The market opened steady at unchanged prices to an advance of three points which was fully as good as i due on cables reporting slightly lower futures than warranted by the New York close of the previous day, this showing being offset to some extent by the relative steadtness of the English - spot market and I full reported. At first smaller profes sionals in the local, market seemed bearish on the theory . advanced by the bear leaders that the weakershorts hsd covered on the bulge of yesterday and some interests bad accumulated which might be forced out by a slight decline, but finding that there! was no aggressive selling, these interests covered their early sales later in the day, thus addiog to the force of the buying movement on i the afternoon advance, u The local market was floe fl ed around midday , by private wires from New Orleans claiming , great firmness among Interior holders and while port receipts for the day were heavy, exports were Urge also, the Interior movement was small and es timated receipts for leading points to morrow light.
