Discussing editorially the revela tions at the freight rate hearing be fore the Corporation Commission in Raleigh Wednesday, yesterday's Ra leig News and Observer pertinently inquires if Wilmington is satisfied as to the port's freight rate conditions and remarks in passing that if the Wilmington business men are satis fied to see Norfolk take business that properly belongs to that city, they are a very queer set of business men. Well said. Wilmington business men not ten years ago spent some thing like eight thousand dollars and no little mental energy in voicing a strenuous 'protest against freight rate conditions at the port to the Inter State Commerce Commission before the remainder of the State awoke to the evils of discriminations, prosecut ing the case to the very last ditch. They were decided against on the ground that Wilmington was not a gateway port and since that time the protest has been maintained in mov ing heaven and earth to get a 30-foot depth of water in the channel to the sea. Competent traffic men say that with Wilmington made a gateway port, the rate evils will automatically correct themselves. Right Jfere is wherein the whole State should continue their loyal sup port of the project to make Wilming ton a great gateway. In the meantime the investigations of freight rate con ditions by the Corporation Commis sion, if they accomplish nothing more, will serve to educate the people of the State to the needs of a greater port at Wilmington, in which they are al ready manifesting a lively and health ful interest. Quoting some of the developments before the. Corporation Commission Wednesday, the News and Observer says: "If a railroad fixes a rate through North Carolina to a Virginia city that is very low, the Corporation Commis sion of North Carolina should fix that low rate on that commodity on intra state shipments. If the railroad ob jects it can show that the railroad it self fixed the low rate to Virginia and that if they can give such a rate to Virginia cities they must haul at the same rate from one North Carolina town to another. "We have stood the wrong and in justice long enough. We have pleaded and petitioned and begged for equal treatment. It has been denied us. The time has come for the Corpora tion Commission to accept the low inter-State rate adopted by the rail road and j)ut it in operation as intra state rates. "Wilmington will never be satisfied until the railroads give it a square deal, and the same is true of other North Carolina cities. Let the busi ness men and commercial bodies reg ister their feeling and demands be fore the Corporation Commission." ENTERTAINMENT OF TAFT. CLARK FOR CONGRESS. Jess!ou:!couW "best man on earth; In't -I've got him. Cleveland Leader. It has been rumored for some time j A girl should toe given an allow- that Bladen county's favorite son would be an aspirant for the Demo cratic nomination for Congress in this (the Sixth) District, next year. The Whiteville News-Reporter of Septem ber 16th, makes this interesting ref erence to the rumor: "We have what we consider authen tic information that Hon. Oscar L. Clark, of Clarkton, will positively be in the race for Congress. He is one of the truest and best men in our State, and would fill that high position with honor and distinction. Senator Clark is in very close touch with the people, and his every interest is iden tical with his people's interest." If all the gentlemen who have been named as probable candidates in next year's fight for the nomination, will remain in the field, it will make things interesting in the Sixth District. Mr. Clark is a prominent and successful business man of Clarkton, and repre sents Bladen county in the State Sen ate. He is a man of splendid parts and is one of the most popular gen tlemen to be found in the district. Several other gentlemen have alrea dy been mentioned as probable candi dates, including the Hon. Henry Lilly Cook, of Fayette ville; the Hon. J. A. Brown, of Chadbourn; A. J. McKin non, of Maxton, and probably others. Of course, the present popular Rep resentative, the Hon. H. L. Godwin, will stand for re-nomination. Greensboro real estate deals may be a sly dodge of the Gate City boost ers. They buy a piece of property and make the announcement that it will be set aside for the new State capitol when Greensboro has the capital mov ed from Raleigh to the Gate City. After all, we guess Greensboro will be satisfied with the publicity which she gets by taking this means of attach ing State-wide importance to her real estate transactions. Watch Greensboro. A New Jersey justice has punished a man for kissing his wife in spite of her objections. The account of the trial does not give the evidence upon which the man was found guilty of kissing his wife, but no doubt his breath gave him away after he had been doing some sampling down town. Says the Springfield Republican: "You cannot satisfy everybody." The earlier a man can find that out the less his sensibilities will suffer when he finds out that neither his opinions nor his acts will meet with universal approval. "If a modern woman were given her preference of choosing a salt mine or a bank of sugar, what would she do?" is a conundrum asked by a Virginia contemporary. Well, a North Caro lina woman would turn to sugar. Publicity makes business. It makes trade for the merchant and is also good for a city. CURRENT COMMENT. The Board of. Aldermen did well yesterday afternoon in making a more adequate appropriation for the enter tainment of President Taft and his party upon the occasion of their ex pected visit here on November 9th. The occasion is one, the honor and benefits of which will be shared b the whole people of Wilmington and cno more equitable derivation of the necessary funds with which to up hold the dignity and proverbial hospi taitly of the City by the Sea, to say nothing of the material results that are expected to follow, could be coa ceived than by following the preced ents established not only by other cities, but our own, in appropriating public monies for public benefit. Of course, funds are to be raise! by private subscription for the several private entertainments that no doubt will be provided for the Chief Execu tive upon the occasion of his visit here, but a large part of the expense will be in the line of legitimate public enter tainment, of our distinguished visitor, and it is very proper and no more than right that all should share and share alike in a true, hearty Southern welcome, to Mr. Taft and the thous ands of visitors who will be attracted hither by his presence. Savannah is plannning to expend $25,000 to $30,000 in honor of the President's visit to that city; Charles ton will do relatively as well. Both are competitive ports, their elements of population and interests are not dissimilar to our own, and Wilmington can ill afford to do less than proposed y the Aldermen at their special meet ing yesterday afternoon. .

New bern Sun. We are glad to find our people getting thoroughly enthused over Hon. O. L. Clark's new drainage law. It is only a question of time when eve ry swamp and marsh in this county and section will be dried and brought into cultivation, when we will have here the Egypt of the Old North State. -Whiteville News-Reporter. Mr. Taft's last utterance in New England was fulsome praise of Aid rich, the Senator from Trustville. When he gets to Illinois, he will prob ably "slop over ' on old Joe Cannon. In Utah his praise will be for the Mormon Senator who had more to do with the tariff bill than any man ex cept Aldrich. Raleigh News and Ob The Wilmington Star is putting in a perfecting press and will enlarge to an 8-column paper. The Star is now one of the most popular and ab lest edited papers in the State, and is doing a magnificent work for its city, section and party. Its circulation has of late so largely increased as to de mand a faster press. The merchants of Wilmington ought to be proud of and stand by the Star, for it is build ing up that, city and its business. Whiteville News-Reporter. The Wilson Times tells of a prom inent Wilson county farmer who took some wheat to a Wilson county mill and found 400 bushels ahead of him. Later on he revisited the mill and found 300 bushels ahead of him. That seems to indicate that Wilson , county has harvested a good deal of wheat during the "past season. Lenoir coun ty has-' raised some wheat, we do not know now much; but probably not enough to "swamp" a mill;- The"re will be more wheat sown in this coun ty this Fall and already .'several wa ter mills are , getting-ready to grind tnis kind of graiii.

In the little village of St. Paul, near Penzance, there Is a monument erected to the memory of Doll, or Dolly, Pent reath, who attained the age of 102 and was the last woman who spoke the Cornish tongue. This is the in scription: "Here lieth interred Dorothy Pentreath, who died in 177T, said to have been the last person who con versed In the ancient Cornish, the pe culiar language of this country from the earliest times till it expired in ; the eighteenth century in this parish ; of St Paul.

'None Like Nunnally's The Youngster Hushed. When the great French chemist Che vreul attained his hundredth birthday he was entertained at a public dinner, at which his son, a high official In the department of Justice, sixty-seven years old, was also present. The old man made a speech and In telling an anec dote made a slight slip, which his son corrected. OldChevreul turned around quickly and said in a sharp tone, "Hush, youngster, when I am talking." And the "youngster" held his tongue. An Odd Perquisite.
