EFFECT OF CARMACK MURDER. Tke unfortunate results of such a tragedj as the killing of ex-Senator Oarmack are not confined to grief of family and friends at the untimely and criminal taking of his life. They ire much moro far-reaching. They bring a ' stigma upon- the community -where the deed was done, upon the State and in fact, upon the whole South whether justly so or not makes so difference as to the fact that such deed has such effect with a great aaany people of other sections of the otmtry and gives them opportunity to harshly criticise our people and what they call these horribte South ern practices. Here is a specimen of tkis class of criticism of our Southern jieople growing out of this deplorable affair which we take from the editorial Strains of the New York Tribune: i4The killing of ei-Senator Edward W. Carmack in a street duel-at Nash TriUe recalls memories of an earlier era. It moves back the hands on the 'elock of time 'a couple 'of generations. In Andrfew Jackson's day, and even later, Southern statesmen and editors Iftid the habit of shooting one another 'to clinch arguments used on the stump or to emphasize . the personalities which creep into political discussions, frontier standards of personal respon sibility still prevailed in the South, and the pistol was considered a better arbiter of injuries to honor or vanity than the law courts or public opinion. That this barbarous idea still lingers is proved by Monday's tragedy in Nashville, as it was proved four years ago in the killing of Mr. Gonzales, the editor of "The Columbia State," by lifeutenant Governor Tillman of South Carolina. "It is ah unhappy commentary on . the retardation of, enlightenment in the South that leaders of opinion there should still feci that manslaughter is an honorable and effective means of rebuking criticism or settling political -controversies. The logical and moral absurdity of the direl has always been that murdering a man does not prove that what he has said is false or what he has done is indefensible. We can not find in any of tha criticisms in which Mr. Carmack is said to have in dulged 'anything mortally offensive to Ills assailants or anything to give -ground for an uncontrollable demand far vengeance. Yet ' Mr. Carmack -Hhought it necessary to go armed to defend himself against possible at tacks, and his assailants were more ""than ready to encourage an appeal to "violence. In the ;Nprth and wherever a juster view of the limits and condi- Ttions of political controversy prevails ihe affray in Nashville will provoke only abhorrence." No matter how incorrect tho state ments of such papers may be in re jgard to such occurrences in the South or how unjust their criticisms, it must 1 be rem'cmbered that such articles are read by thousands of ' people at the "North who take them for Gospel truth -some gladly, and others who are inclined to do the South justice, with regret, but still, through lack of better source rf information, put implicit lai'h in such publications in their own zpapers. there is a movement to depress the price. ' : While wishing the cotton? farmera all success in their movements under taken in the New Orleans and Mem phis conventions to bring about a rise in price-, we are afraid that this move ment will prove as unsuccessful as the many others which have been started along this line-in the past. Southern ers should realize that they are the chief -victims of the gamblers on the New York stock exchange and stop "St dealing with its members. In that way they could do the South mors good than with tll the resolutions and pledges about holding spot cotton. CURRENT COMMENT. KAISSER WILLIAM'S SUPPRESSED INTERVIEW. Kaiser William's remarks in his fa mous interview has not affected the so-called amicable relations between the German and the British empires; so says Mr. Asquith, the Premier of the latter. He tfckes an optimistic view of the. situation in Europe and thinks that the clouds now darkening the political skies of Southeastern Eu rope will soon roll away. The row that was made over the publication of the interview with the Emperor in the London Telegraph causes increas ed interest and curiosity as to the article written for the December Cen tury Magazine by Mr. Hale, a promi nent newspaper and magazine writer, entitled "An Evening With Emperor William," and which was suppressed after the London Telegraph's publica tion had created a sensation in Ger many, though the whole of the' maga zine edition has been printed. The fact that such an unusual course was pursued indicates that the Hale arti cle would have been equally as sensa tional if hot more so. The issue of the magazine will be greatly delayed and the publishers put to great ex pense, ! but no doubt they will be com pensated for ooth by the German Gov ernment, which would be . willing to pay well to have the article sup pressed. A copy of that suppressed issue would bring a big price. WHISTLING AND CHURCH TRIBUTIONS. CON- THE COTTON PRICE QUESTION. - Notwithstanding the efforts being made by cotton farmers' associations to induce the producers to hold back .their cotton and the rumors that much i cotton is being actually held the re ceipts are phenomenally high. Our market reports in -'yesterday's paper allowed the receipts of cotton at all 'ports for the week were 430,000 bales, against 357,243 bales for the corre sponding week of last year. If it be .true that a large amount of the pro--duct is being held by tba farmers it indicates that a very large crop has -heen produced. This is an intricate proposition that the cotton farmers are up against tha Increase of the price of cotton by holding it from the market. We want to see the Southern farmers get a remunerative retuurn, for her work in 'raising cotton, but we have our doubts rabout their being able to do so by - proposed concerted action in' withhold ing ( it through ".'the warehouse system.

When the taking of the contribution was begun he an nounced from the pulpit that any man who put as much aa fifty cents in the plate would have, the right to whistle. Before the collection was. finished there was whistling all over the church. It is charitable to believe that none except those entitled to do so were heard to whistle, though there may be some people so uncharitable as to claim that there was many a whistle which was not represented by a fifty-cent piece in the plate. And there are some chronic kickers who object on the ground that it put the female members of the cbhgregationat a very unfair disadvantage; but that should have no weight as most of the money the "women give in the cause I of religion or r charity comes but of the pocket of 4 httsband or father 'or some other male member of the fami ly who earned it by ! his labor ' with hand or head. They are now criticising Governor Johnson because he did not tcarcua shirt for Mr. Bryan, but it sAems that .Tnhnson went ahead and saved what he could. DurhanT Her alck V Mr. Taft's administration will eith er deceive the trusts or the people. We will wait patiently to see which.

News and Observer. The information that .the republi can leaders of New York have settled. unon the Hon. Elihu Root, now secre tarv of State, td succeed the Hon. Thomas C.

Those who are appearing at the tariff hearings, of the Ways and Means Committee at Washington in behalf of various "protected interestff," in stead ot helping toward a "revision downward" of the present tariff, almost-invariably put in pleas for more protection by means- of higher duties. To their minds the purpose of a tariff is not to raise revenue for the Gov ernment by a tax upon consumption, which customs duties necessarily are so far as Imported articles are con cerned, but to increase the profits of their business or to enable them to. carry on a business here which would otherwise be unprofitable by extend ing the tax to the consumption of do mestic as well as imported articles. Every addition to the price of articles that enter into consumption resulting from duties on imports, is necessarily a tax upon consumers for the benefit of those who provide these articles. The high cost of living which is the consequence is construed as a high "standard ; of living" that justifies high wages for labor. Journal of Com merce. The fact that the owners of the Red Star Line steamships Kroonland ' adn Finland have seen fit to transfer these ships from American, registry to that of Belgium serves to draw at LEFT Oil IIER DOORSTEP FOR THIS MOTHER Mrs. A. O. Tuson, of Livermoro, Cal., writes : "IV picked up frdm my door step one day a liitle book in which I ,soon became very much interested. My little, girl of five years of age had been troubled for a long time.. with loss of appetite, extreme nervousness and undue fatigue. She was all 'run down and in a very delicate condition. "This little book was very compre hensively written, and told of the new method of extracting the medicinal ele ments of the cod's liver from the oil, eliminating the obnoxious oil which is so hard for children to take. " 'Just the thing said I, 'for my little daughter and I immediately went for a bottle of Vinol. It helped her won derfully. She has sained rapidly in flesh ; and strength, j and: she does not take coldbalf so easily. - ' "I am extremely grateful for the good it has done her, and I hope other mothers who have weak, delicate or ailing children will be benefited by my experience and just give Vinol a trial." VINOL is sold in Wilmington by Robert R. Bellamy, Druggist. The fact, that only half of the American' battleship fleet visited China gave much umbrage to the people of the Flowery Kingdom. They took, it as on insult to their nation. They have been pacified by a statement published in the Official Gazette at Pe king that on its way to China fleet en countered a terrible storm and eight of the big vessels have not been heard from since andit is supposed they were lost. This announcement, it is said, was made without consulting the American consular authorities;' but since its publication the latter have not considered it necessary to contradict the statement.

As American ships the two vessels had become unprofitable, while under a for eign flag, and rel'eved of the expen sive restrictions of American registry, they will pay a profit. As the Red Star Line is mostly controlled by Americans capital, it. was no . mere lack jof patriptism which dictated the change of registry.
