Jicide which of them shall be the
ismporary chairman of the New

which convened at Saratoga Tues-

and to the finish, the mighty hunter
neither asking nor giving, quarter,
The"result was a complete victory for
the 'progressives," Roosevelt having
a majority of 125 over Vice President
Sherman on the vote . for temporaiy
chairman
The entire State mourns the death
of Dr. B. F. Dixon, State Auditor
which occurred in a hospital in RI
eigh Monday night. Several days
defore hia death Dr. Dixon suffered a
very severe attack of angina pectoris
but his condition had shown much
improvement and it was hoped he
was out of danger. Monday night,
however, he had another seizure and
died in a few minutes.
Dr. Dixon was one of the States
best known and best beloved public
men, His genial, kindly nature
drew every one with whom , he came
in contact to him, and no man ever
had friends who were more loyal
.than his were to him. When a mere
ooy Dr. Dixon joined the army and
made gallant soldier in the war be
tween the States. After the war he
joined the Methodist ministry, his
first charge in North Carolina being
at Monroe. Later he studied medi
cine on account of a break down in
b.is health. He was serving his
third term as State Auditor.

Carolina, who is well known by the
farmers of Mecklenburg county by
reason of his connection in "other
days with the Southern Cotton Asso
ciation, has leaped into, some unex
pected promiterce on account of a
stateaient he uttered recently, advo
eating 20-cents cotton. The Senator's
advice ha been largely commented
upon by the pres8 of the Carolinas
and has awakened a keen interest on
the part of cotton-grower and cotton
manufacturer. Senator Smith is one of the most
versatile cotton men in the country
and during bis affiliation with the
Southern Cotton Association, in
which he was an officer, made a care
ful and comprehensive study of the
manifold phases of the product. He
has all along been a strong advocate
of higher prices and has continuous
ly advised the farmers to hold their
cotton off the market in the fall until
such a movement would nataralty
force the price up.
WILL NOT DICTATE TO FARMERS.
Contending that his original state
ment has been distorted. Senator
Smith recently delivered himself at
some length on the price of cotton;
as it should be, and his comment will
be of general interest to the fanners
of this section. He says:
"It is remarkable how a carefully
guarded, conservative statement can
be misinterpreted into jmt the oppo
site. In my interview in regard to
the cotton crop a few days ago, I
used the following language:
" I shall not attempt to dictate to
the farmers of the South what they
shall do. But under the circum
stances I should re delighted to s e
them combine and hold their cotton
from the market wherever it is pos
sible for them to d so, untii it shall
bring such price as shallmeasure up to
artificial prices placed upon raanurac
tured articles by virtue of the
tariff.'
"In reference to my opinion I used
the following language:
"My honest conviction is that 20
cents for the present crop is none too
high, in view" of the supply, the cost
of production, the comparative val
ue of cotton with other textiles, and
the artificial price that now obtains
on manufactured goods.' 4
'I.ET FARMERS DETERMINE.
"lbe Deadlines and newspaper
comments have made it app" ar that
I have advised the farmers to hold
their cotton lor 20 cents a pound,
One newspaper, in an editorial com
ment, has said that the farmer
should sell his cotton at present prices
and pay bis debts. That past expe
rience has been to the effect that
where the price looked , enticing in
the early tall, that farmers held and
suffered a loss. This is true.
"I have never advised any farmer
who had pledged his cotton to a mer
chant or to any one, to withhold it
from the market when it caused em
barrassraent or loss to the one that
credited him. But I have always
advocateu the banks of " the South
and the financiers of the South doirg
alt in their power to help these weak
and unfortunate ones to withhold
their staff from the market until it
should bring such a price as would
remunerate those that helped and
give a prcnt to tne uniortunate ones
who needed help.
"i nave never auvisea any price
on cotton, nor have I stood for any
specific price on cotton until the
farmers of the South, in convention
assembled, determined what, in their
judgment, was a righteous price for
what they themselves produced,
ana inen l Decame an un
compromising advocate for that
which they, in their judgment,
deemed a fair and legitimate return
for their labor.
"I have been criticised for stand
ing for 15 -cents cotton. I stood lor
15 cents cotton when the farmers of
the South demanded it, and bad
some of my critics been as loyal to
the cause as I, the 15 -cents mark
might have been the sooner ' ob
tained.
. A MARVEL.
u sometimes marvel mat we are
as well off as we are, when I think of
the fact that the advocates of protec
tion with their newspaper organs,
their lobbies, their powerful advo
cates on the floor of the House and
Senate shut out competition from
abroad, combine their capital in Am
erica and Torce the price of articles
beyond any reason, thus forcing the
producer of the raw material, the
salaried man and the wage earner, to
pay exorbitant prices for those manu
factured articles which are a com
mon necessity.- It is a marvel; the
seeming prosperity that the masses
enjoy. "
"I am not asking, nor have I ever
asked, that there should be a legal
enactment protecting any one, indi
vidual or Corporation. But when
the government is committed to the
doctrine of protection by legal enact
ment, I think those who are the Vic
tims should resist this unnatural con"
dition by invoking the law, of God
which is the Uw of supply and de
mand and, by standing solidly to
gether, force its operation.
"If the price of manufactured ar
ticles is forced to artificial heights,
and the great body of wage-earners,
laborers and producers nf the raw?
material are forced io pay these exor
bitant pricey reducing them to ab
ject poverty who shall gainsay their
right to combine in every depart
ment of their life and demand such
remuneration tor their labor End
their raw material as shall offset the
price that they have to pay to the
robber barons of the manufacturing
interests? -"Under
the law, it is wrong for me
to carry concealed weapons, but
should someone threaten my life and
I know not where nor when I may
meet him, what Jury would convict
me for preparing myself to defend
my lite at any time or place where
this threatening foe might me? Who
shall criticise labor organiz itions tar
combining and demanding a higher
wage? Who shall criticise the pro
ducer of the raw material for com
bining and demanding . a higher
price, and, by tneir numerical
strength and their necessities to man
kind forcing a recognition of their
rights, when the law of the land is
giving that opportunity to the man
ufacturers, who have impivenaneu
and are impoverishing the masses
and creating the colossal millionaire
of America?
EQUAL RIGHTS.
"I do not believe in class legislation
or class discrimination, but I do be
lieve in equal rights to all and spe
cial privileges to none under the law.
And eo long as the law gives 9p?ciai
privilt-ge to some, it is the manifest
duty of those discriminated against
to protect themselves against this
ur just discrimination. And the best
way to defeat the infamous doctrine
of protection is by the farmers and
laborers protecting themselves. The
Republican party today is being de
feated and driven from power be
cause its doctrine, carried to its last
analysis, has forced such prices that
the wage-earner and the salaried man
cannot live.
"The farmers of the south would be
willing to take leas price for their
stuff if they might buy what they
need under the same circumstances
they have to sell theis produce. They
have to sell under free trade and buy
under protection. And it is their
duty to themselves and to their coun
try to do all in their power that is
legitimate and honorable to offest this
legalized robbery under the Amen
can system of protection.
. BLATANT WRONGS'
l .
"I had some vague conception of
the enormity of the Republican pro
tection system, but never did I dream
of its unblushing effrontery and
boldness until 1 beta Tie a member of
the United States Senate. And if
the people of America could realize,
rather than vaguely know, the bla
tant injustice being practiced by the
'a ,hey would a long time ago have
swept the whole system out of exist'
ence.
"In conclusion I invited the atten
tion ot my critic to the prices oh
taioing for wool, flax and silk under
protection, as against cotton without
it." .-

ECZEMA CUEED
Many people have tried so many remedies
for eczema without being materially benefitted
that they have come to .the conclusion that
there is no cure for this most
ease. That this conclusion is
that
Hobson's Eczema Ointment
will effect a cure is shown by the following
unsolicited testimonial of Mr. Venable Wilson,
who for many years was a citizen of Wades
boro. Mr. Wilson says:
"This is to certify" that for nine years I suffered
witK eczema, and during that time tried numerous so
called specfics for it, but without effect. But after a
few applications of Hobson's Eczema Ointment I was
completely cured. - V. WILSON
