MEMORIAL TO PRESIDENT SPEN-CER.
It speaks well for the railroad men
at Spencer, the North Carolina head
quarters of the Southern Railway,
near Salisbury, that the Spencer
Railroad Y. M. C. A. has inaugurated
a movement to establish a Samuel
Spencer Memorial Library in honor of
the late President Spencer, of the
Southern Railway Company, for whom
the town was named, and who was
killed in a wreck on the main line
north of Spencer two years ago.
Through the secretary, Mr. F. B. Ste
vepson, and the committee of manage
ments, $3,000 will be raised among the
railroad men of Spencer and upon the
five freight divisions touching there,
after which an appeal will be made to
one or more well known philanthro
pists for additional funds for the li
brary. President Spencer was a progres
sive and liberal railroad president and
took great interest in the moral and
substantial welfare of the employes
of the Southern Railway. He liberally
aided the railroad Y. M. C. A. all over
the Southern system and his good
work deserves something that indi
cates that grateful hearts hold his
kind deeds, generosity and benevo
lence in remembrance and desire to
establish some lasting recognition of
It.
The Southern Railway continues to
follow the good example set by Mr.
Spencer. On Monday Mayor H. C.
Bueck, of East Spencer, received a
draft of $500 from General Manager
C. F. Akert, of the Southern Railway,
at Washington, D. C, in payment of a
contribution from that company to
the East Spencer graded school build
ing recently erected in that place.
This last contribution makes a total
of more than $10,000 in cash and pro
perty contributed by the Southern
Railway Company for school purposes
in Spencer and East Spencer.
WADESBORO'S AMBITION.
MAY BE SMALL TEMPEST.
A dispatch from Homer, La., June
27th, says:
"Declaring that the members of the
Louisiana delegation in Congress 'as
a unit voted for protection on lumber,
in repudiation of the Denver platform,
and have made speeches in favor of
protection on many other articles,' res
olutions were adopted by voters of
Claiborne parish there yesterday of an
exceedingly condemnatory character.
It is asserted in the resolutions, 'our
Senators and Representatives no lon
ger represent the party that elected
them, and they should forthwith ten
der their resignations'."
The significance of the above is
whether Louisiana goes as Clairborne
Parish goes or as Homer nods.

CURRI1NT COMMENT.
There is great rejoicing in the cities
and towns along the Atlantic Coast
Line's new link with tha Norfolk and
Western, under the agreement be
tween the two railroad systems by
which the projected Southbound Rail
road from Wadesboro to Winston-Salem
is to be completed. Wadesboro
is specially jubilant and the railroad
... talk 4here is the biggest topic of con
versation sprung in years.
Wadesboro is expecting big things
out of the new railroad enterprise,
and is ambitioous of having the shops
located there. A correspondent say5
those who have been doubtful all
these months now seem to feel the
good effect of the efforts made by the
promoters of the Southbound Railroad.
The Wadesboro Commercial Club will
get together immediately and go to
work with a view to having the shops
located there if possible.
So far as securing the shops is con
cerned, w-e believe that Wadesboro
will have a good chance. That place
seems to be the logical location for the
shops, as Wadesboro will be the junc
tion point of the Seaboard Air Line
r.nd the Coast Line's new Winston-Sa-
.l'sm connection with the coal fields.
Thus Wadesboro will have two lines
connecting with the coal regions, and
under any circumstances that town
occupies an enviable situation.
A correspondent, telling of the jubi
lant feeling there, says "Wadesboro
has never made much noise, but there
has been steady growth during the
past five years." He also goes on to
say:
"It is reported that Mr. John T.
Patrick, well known for his activity
in industrial circles, has secured the
promise of some new manufacturing
enterprises. One fact is that Mr.
Patrick has secured an option on a
large parcel of land in the immediate
vicinity of the depot and this land
is situated just right for mills or oth
er industrial plants."
Nearly every paper in the United
States, in publishing the accounts of
the trip of the scout cars from Atlan
ta to New York, contained the report
of the scouts giving Mecklenburg
county the credit for having the best
roads between Atlanta and Washing
ton. This shows that when a county
is progressive the world will find it
out In some way. Mecklenburg's
good roads are a big advertisement
for her.

The killing in New York of a
young girl by a Chinaman suggests to
one newspaper the criticism that
American men as a rule are too indif
ferent as to what becomes of their
daughters. The criticism is well
founded. American men know more
about the lures and snares of the
worldly life than American women
know. , But they are often too busy
accumulating wealth or riding some
other hobby to give the serious consi
deration that it deserves to the prob
lem of shielding their daughters.

The New York Journal of Com
merce prints a column of reports from
the condition of the cotton crop in
North Carolina and, it strikes us that
the summary is about right. It is to
the effect that cotton in the State is
about two weeks late, owing to the
continued rains, and is badly in need
of cultivation. Grass pervades practi
cally all fields and a number of cor
respondents report red and yellow
leaves. Stands are generally poor and
the plant small, but with a continu
ance of the fine weather now prevail
ing it is thought that5 conditions will
rapidly improve. Some scarcity of
labor is reported and lice are damag
ing cotton in a few sections, but a few
more days will put farmers ahead.
Compared with last month, when con
dition was 86.4 cotton shows a con
siderable deterioration from incom
plete reports. A year ago at this time
percentage condition was 89.4. Char
lotte Chronicle.
In a lengthy discussion of the pro
tection feature of the new tariff bill,
The Wilmington Star says that "judg
ing from the tone of the North Caro
lina press the writers generally in
their comments on the positions of
Senators Simmons and Overman on
the tariff consider that they are on the
job at Washington, doing the best they
can and acting with good judgment on
the facts as they see them in the line
of their duty to North Carolina, and
the South. They may or may not be
right in every instance, but there are
a whole lot of people at home who be
lieve they are doing the right thing
under the grave responsibilities and
perplexing problems which they have
to face. Many differ with them hon
estly, a few intolerantly, but it will
be found that most North Carolinians
have confidence in their Senators and
give them credit for their judicious
ness and good working horse sense."
It is a fact that the majority of the
papers of the State are either backing
up the course of Simmons and Over
man, or are not condemning it. Some
of the papers that do differ from our
Senators do so respectfully. We know
of but two or three that are rantan
kerous. The Star makes a safe pre
diction when it says that "when the
North Carolina Senators come home
to give an account of their steward
ship they will come mighty near giv
ing good and acceptable reasons for
an tney have done." Charlotte Chron
icle.

DOCTORS' PRESCRIPTIONS.
It has been proved over and over
against that the doctors of this coun
try freely prescribe proprietary medi
cines in Latin for their patients until
they are advertised to the public, af
ter which time they consider it a duty
to immediately condemn the very
same medicine, not because the prep
aration is any less valuable, but be
cause it is not "ethical" to prescribe
an advertised medicine. There are,
however many physicians of recogniz
ed standing broad-minded and success
ful enough to continue to prescribe
such standard remedies as Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
which they know to be good.
