May our praises ever rise To Thy throne beyond the skies>v O our God of Land and Sea, Praise and thanks we raise to Thee! —Annie W. McCoy, in Baltimore Sun. CAUSE FOR THANKSGIVING. There has never been a year when there was not abundant cause for thanks giving. Those who enjoy life, liberty, and the ability to work—a trinity of blessings—have enough to cause their hearts to run over with gratitude. The man who has work to do, the health to do the work, and receives sufficient money for doing it to support his family •—how ought his heart to swell with Thanksgiving on this day set ayart for the formal expression of the thanks that a grateful man offers daily? As a State and nation, we have pecu liar cause for thankfulness- Crops have been abundant, prices have been good, there has been work for all and fair compensation. No pestilence or famine or national calamity has befallen us. In North Carolina this Thanksgiving finds this good Commonwealth in a happy mood. Progress has been made in every line of effort, and there is a spirit of hope and confidence among all the people that is guarantee of future development and prosperity. The negro Crum, slated for the Charleston, S. C., Collectorship. Is charged with having sold out in the Re publican National Convention in 1892 for a promise of Federal patronage. If that charge disqualifies, Roosevelt will have to import men to hold offices in the South. A little while ago the coal operators in a high and mighty way were telling us “there is nothing to arbitrate.” Now some seem ready to agree with the min ers without awaiting the slow process of the Commissions. They have learned a good .leal within the past six months. “Audrey” was presented for the first time in Madison Square theatre in New York city on Monday night. The New York papers all agree in giving It the warmest sort of a roast. Most of them agree that one who sees the play will never wish to read the book. State Auditor Dixon will urge the Legislature to impose a State tax on saloons, bar-rooms, dispensaries and whiskey distilleries. The State of Ten nessee gets $215,000 and Virginia $312,- 000 from such taxes, while North Caro lina gets only $8 000. Representative Miner, of Wisconsin, who is in Washington, says that if the last Congress had passed the ship sub sidy bill, the Republicans would have lo<=t many" votes in the House. He pre dicts that the bill will not pass the House this session. It is hinted that Raleigh will vote on a proposition to establish a dispensary next spring and that it may affect the standing of possible candidates for mayor. There’s time enough after Christ mas to talk city politics. A New York jury gave SSOO to a wo man who sued for damages because a middle-aged man kissed her against hei will. The price of all commodities are being fixed by juries. In the case of State vs. Peebles, the Supreme Court holds that negroes can not be excluded from juries. Carry the news to Mitchell county. TARIFF REVISION. During the recent campaign the Repub licans pursued two methods of treating the tariff. In some Sections they at tributed all the prosperity that the coun try has enjoyed to the Dingley act and said that any attempt to change it would result In unsettling business and would bring disaster. In other sections, they declared for tariff revision hut argued that it ought to be revised by the Re publicans and not by Democrats. Now that they have won, which promise will they keep—the one the beneficiaries of tariff duties demand, or the one that will help the bulk of the people? Representative Tarsney, of Minnesota, who is in Washington, upon being inter viewed by the Washington Post, said: “The paramount idea in the politics of my section of the country, is tariff revis ion. We have been passing through an era of great development in manufac turing. during which there has been a remarkable increase of efficiency in meth ods. This has resulted in enormous profits, which have boon and are still going into the hands of a very few men. Our people think the time has come when the profits from this efficiency in manufacturing, much of which has been made possible by the government of the United States, should be shared by the people thereof.” “ ‘How do you regard the proposed tariff commission?’ " ‘The only proper tariff commission I rould suggest,’ was the reply, ‘would be composed of members of the Ways and Means Committee of the House and of ♦he Finance Committee of the Senate.’ “Mr. Tawitey added that he was in fa vor of immediate revision of schedules, not a far-reaching revision necessarily, but such a revision as would bring about a change of schedules affecting articles, where the manufacture has been render ed excessively profitable to the manufac turer.” The beneficiaries of the tariff will see to it that there is no revision along the lines advocated by Mr. Tafsncy. His indictment of the present law that “enor mous profits which have been and are still, going into the hands of a very few men” is true to the letter. Those “very few men” will see to it that the ‘‘enor mous profits” continue to come into their hands, no matter how big a campaign fund they have to raise to hold their privilege. Senator Frye, who holds a position of far greater influence in the Republican party than Mr. Tarsney. does not agree at all with the Western Congressman. We quote from last night’s Washington Tost: “What view do you take of tariff mat ters'” he has asked. “Talk of tariff revision is absurd,” re plied in vigorous words the Senator who w as for half a century the fellow-towns man of the author of the Dingley law. “The country is in the midst of great prosperity. Why should w r e spoil it by entering upon legislation which would disarrange business relations and certain ly cause depression over the country?” “There is no demand for it in New England?" “None whatever in Maine,” was the answer. “I suppose there may be peo ple in Massachusetts who want some changes, but they always have a few cranks in Massachusetts. The Republi can who ran for Congress on a revision platform was defeated in a Republican district. “It is equally absurd to propose tariff revision as a means of regulating the trusts.” From these two opposing interviews, an unimformed person might presume Giat the Republicans would have a split. No danger of that. They will all get to gether by a “compromise,” as they will call'"it. The “compromise” w ill require Mr. Tarsney to surrender his position. Tim tariff barons who get "enormous profits” own and control the Republican party—or that portion of it that dictates legislation. During the recent campaign, New Orleans ffimes-Domofirat riddled the pre tence of a Republican revision of the ariff by recalling the following anecdote: “I see that the Republicans have been -evising the tariff,” said the late Ros well P. Flower, of New York, to Thomas R. Reed, in commenting on the McKin ley rates. “Yes?” Inquired Mr. Reed. ’Yes,” said Mr. Flower; “and do you know what it reminds me of?” “No,” said Mr. Reed; “what does it remind vou of?” “Well,” said Mr. Flower, ”it reminds me of the way the farmers build their fences out in Kansas. They build ’em four feet high and six feet wide. And when a cyclone comes along and blows them over, they’re higher than they were before.” “That is the kind of ’tank revision’ the country al ways gets when the Republicans go into he ‘revising’ business,” says the Timcs- Democrat. WHAT MAKES FLOATING DEBT. Recently the School Board of the State >f Nebraska invested $300,000 in Massa chusetts State bonds. Nebraska has no funded debt but has a floating debt of ibout two million dollars. Writing of he debt and the cause for it 6 increase, he Commoner says: “The present Republican State taxing ward assessed the railroads in 1902 at '2.090,000 less than they were assessed in 1592, and this in face of the fact that since 1892 the railroads have increased heir mileage almost 500 miles and their stock is quoted from 50 to 100 per cent ligher than it wqis ten years ago. This will, in a measure, explain the rapidly ncreasing floating debt." It seems that Sam Vick has suddenly become a national figure. If he remains, the negroes may hope for recognition: if he is kicked out, the Lily White is to flourish. Vick is the best negro in the State arTd the most capable negro official in the South. THE NEWS AND OBSERVKfi. IHURSI COTTON CROP ESTIMATE. Latham, Alexander & Co., who are re garded by many as the best authorities upon cotton, have made their estimate for the cotton crop of 1902-1903. It is as follows: “For many years we have published an nually for the information of our cor respondents an estimate of the cotton crop of the United States compiled from figures contained in replies to letters addressed by us to several thousand firms and individuals in the cotton States, and the average of these estimates for several seasons has tended to largely underestimate the total yield. •This year instead of requesting esti mates of the crop from so many, we have sought thr information by letter and telegram from a limited number of the most intelligent and best informed cor respondents in every cotton State, and the following we regard a conservative estimate of the crop at this date: Est. Crop Crop STATES. 1902-’O3. 1901-’O2. Alabama 1,000,000 1,200,000 Arkansas 1,000,000 820,000 Florida 50,000 54,000 Georgia 1,350,000 1,525,000 Louisiana 825,000 880,000 Mississippi 1,450,000 1,375J)00 North Carolina .. .. 650,000 550,000 South Carolina .. .. 950,000 925.000 Tonn. ZC. & Ok. Ty. 525,000 359,000 Texas and Ind. Ty. .. 3,200,000 2,993,000 Estimated total ....11,000,000 10,681,000 "Last year was an unfavorable one for cotton production in nearly all sections. In the South Atlantic States excessive rains prevailed much of the season and in Texas and the Southwestern States a disastrous drought cut the crop short. In spite of these adverse conditions the yield proved to be 10,681.000 bales. “This year as a rule the season has been favorable; stands were perfect, cul tivation good, the crop matured early, the fall has been phenomenally mild —no killing frost—the plant has had ample time to ripen and the picking season thus far all that could be desired. It is there fore not improbable that the crop this year will exceed that of last year by some 300,000 bales.” The President continues to assert with vehemence that the question of trust regulation must he settled. The nearest he has come to outlining a plan was referring to a settlement “along the lines indicated by Attorney General Knox.” The Attorney General recently said the Sherman anti-trust law could be made effective if amended. What assurance have we that Attorney Gqneral Knox, the long time attorney of the steel trust, would enforce a law against that trust? A bill Is pending in the Georgia Legis lature requiring all railroads operating in Georgia to incorporate in that State. And after they have complied, if they are like the Southern in North Carolina, they will attack the law as unconstitutional and seek to move their case into the Federal courts before Federal judges whose appointments they helped to se cure. We see that Mr. Hcarst has bought the Washington Times. He and that fellow Ochs seem to be buying up all the newspapers in the country. Well, there is one thing certain: this exponent of truth is not for sale. Neither Hcarst nor Ochs need think they can buy us— unless they are willing to pay a big pile. —Rhamkattc Roaster. The Richmond Dispatch says that Dem ocrats in Virginia arc surprised that John G. Carlisle should take a fee to try to restore full negro suffrage in that State. Nobody ought to be surprised. Cleve land made another man of Carlisle and he has not been in sympathy with the section that honored him since he went into Cleveland’s Cabinet. Talk about expert financiers, who can show one equal to the late Rev. G. F. Ivey? During the fifty years he was a Methodist circuit rider his salary aver aged S6OO. On this small income, ho reared and educated a large family of children, and his estate is said to worth something like SIO,OOO. Carrie Nation says that the cigarette habit is “about as damning as the whis key habit" and she will hereafter devote her energies to smashing it. The whis key folks will breath a sigh of relief. The latest canard from the North Caro lina yellows is that Settle is to succeed Pritchard as patronage dispenser- Black burn’s bid for the job seems not to have been taken seriously. The Wilson Times has ’enlarged. It had to do so to keep up with the growth of the town. It is a splendid paper, worthy of the progressive town in which it is published. Discussing the appointment of a mulat to as Collector of Customs at Charleston, the News and Courier calls Mr. Roose velt’s party “the Grand Old Mulatto Par ty.” WANTED. We would like to ask, through the col umns of your paper, if there is any per son who lias used Green's August Flower for the cure of Indigestion, Dyspepsia, and Liver Troubles that has not been cured —and wo also mean their results, such as sour stomach, fermentation of food, habitual costiveness, nervous dys pepsia, headaches, despondent feelings, sleeplessness—in fact, any trouble con nected with the stomach or liver? This medicine has been sold for many years in all civilized countries, and we wish to correspond with you and send you one of o.ur books free of cost. If you never tried August Flower, try one bottle first. We have never known of its failing. If so, something more serious is the matter with you. Ask your oldest druggist. G. G. GREEN, Woodbury, N..

Wise, negroes in various counties in Vir ginia arc to bring suits for SS,OCU each for damages against the mem ber of the constitutional convention from their county, because they were re fused registration. They will also bring suit against the Governor, the registra tion board, and the precinct judges. The negroes will contend that all of the de fendants are guilty of having conspired to deprive them of their right of suf frage, a -right accorded them as citizens of the United States. The Governor is made a party to the suit because the Constitution was promulgated by procla mation. As counsel for the negroes. Mr. Wise and Mr. Carlisle are also bringing suit in the Federal Court to set* aside the Virginia amendment, alleging that it is unconstitutional in that it deprives ne groes of the right to vote. These two acts have deep interest for North Carolina, for if the Virginia amendment should be annulled it is prob able that the same fate awaits the North Carolina amendment. It would set back the wheels of progress and peace in the South twenty-five years if the negro question should be thus re-opened. Lot us hope that the settlement of negro suffrage made in North Carolina and other Southern States will not be dis turbed.

Politics and Politicians. Mr. David B. Stainback, editor of the Milton Herald, will be a candidate be fore the Senate caucus/for the position of assistant door-keeper. Mr. Stainback is a son of our old friend D. E. Stain back, of Weldon, and a grand-son of the late Col. David Bell, of Enfield. If elected he will make an excellent officer. Mr. T. G. Cobb, editor of the Morgan ton Herald, will be a candidate for en rolling clerk of the House of Representa tives. Mr. Cobb has been a Democrat all his Jife, has been publishing a Dem ocratic paper over twenty years, and this is the first time he has asked any thing at the hands of the party. lie is fit, worthy and capable. There are several candidates for Speaker of the House—of the next Leg islature. Why not make Governor Doughton, of Alleghany, speaker?—Alle ghany Star. One Bottle ,of Burnett's Vanilla Ex tract is better than throe of the doubtful kind.
