SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
A Dangerous Man.
About inauguration time a
prominent railroad president
who was visiting Washington
declared tliat it might become
necessary to elect a Democrat
iiexi time because of the odium
which the Republican party was
bringing upon itself. When
asked to name a satisfactory
candidate he mentioned a prom
inent Democrat whose availa
bility is now being canvassed.
This railroad president was ask
ed how Tom Johnson would do
and bis reply was that Johnson
was not a "safe man," that he
was, in fact, a "dangerous
man.'' Something has occur
red in Cleveland recently which
supports the opinion expressed
by this railroad president and
shows that Mr. Johnson is in
truth a "dangerous man" to
corporations that avoid taxation
or seek some unfair advantage
at the expense of the people.
Mayor Johnson has been try
ing to raise the assessment of
the railroads. According to the
Columbus Press-Post he said :
"The members of that State
board will place the railroads'
on the same level with residence j
property and farm lands, or!
there'll be such a storm of in
dignation throughout the State
that they will be swept out of
political life forever."
When the assessment was
raised fom 12 per cent to 13
per cent. (Johnson wanted it
raised to GO per cent.) he is re
ported to have said to them :
"Gentlemen, you ought to be
proud of yourselves. You have
been as good to this charitable
institution, the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, as you
know how. I hope that every
one of you will be defeated
should you aspire to a re-elec
tion or any other oflice. If I
can help to defeat you I will do
so."
All of this goes to show that
Mr. Johnson is a "dangerous
man." As he is in favor of
making the corporation pay
their share of the taxes and
stand on the same level with
the farmer and home owner, he
is probably a "demagogue,"
and if he sticks to his resolve to
do his duty to the public he
may after a while be called an
"anarchist." The fact that
Mr. Johnson, while supporting
the national ticket heartily in
1890 and 1900, has uot been
known as a radical silver man
will not be sufficient to protect
him from the wrath to come.
The corporations will not per
mit an y independence in
thought or act. No one can en
joy their smiles unless he is
willing to abandon conscience
and conviction, and obey every
command without questioning.

Concerning North Carolina.
We glean a few illustrative
items from stale exchanges. In
Madison county tliere is a farm J
of 810 acres with eighteen dwell- j
ings upon it. These arc rent
ed out by Mr. Morris Stack-'
house, the owner. The Mar
shall Enterprise says:
"The aggregate rents amount j
to $4O per month. Their sale'
of hay and feed yearly amounts
to $1,900 dollars, They utilize
every stick of their timber and
have a good income from rail-J
road ties. They also have a
saw mill and do quite a large j
business in the way of lumber.' 7 i
The Carthage Blade tells ho w-
Mr. W. W. Mills moved'
from that town to Bi?co. It i
says in July 1886, he began to
work at 40 cents a day and is
now worth $15,000, earned by
energy and business capacity.
Such a man is valuable to town,
county and State.
Yea, verily, fifty such men in
each county would soon make;
North Carolina rival Massachu-j
setts in production and wealth.:
Now comes one phase of the
iecent losses in North Carolina
by the great rains that recently
fell and so widely and sweep
ingly destroyed. The Burns
ville Eagle gives a gloomy, dis
tressing account of the losses in
its section, which it says cannot
be estimated. It says that Mr.
Wm. Pearson alone lost near
$BOO in oak and walnut logs
from a yard at Huntdale. So
far as learned there were 17
houses in Yancey, and 93 in
Mitchell carried away by the
flood ; *23 of 93 in Mitchell coun
ty were taken from Bakersville
by Cane creek, a small stream
passing through the town- It
is said that the bodies of three
persons, thought to be negroes,
and several head of stock were
seen going down the river at
Green Mountain."
The Charlotte Observer says
the losses in North Carolina
"are beyond computation," Af
ter all the losses ascertainable
have been gathered, itemized
and footed up there remains a
loss so serious that only years
can restore. We quote:
"But we shall put a price up
on the acres of top soil carried
away, down to tlia hard ground
and deposited in the beds of the
streams, the bottom lands which
this soil formerly made fruitful
' now covered deep with sand?!
It will be years and years before
these bottoms can be restored to
fertility. And this enumeration |
takes no account of the planted
crops destroyed nor the loss suf
' fered by the inability of theown
ier to raise any crop at all this
i year, or adequate crops for years i
to come upon the devasted
i lands. One cannot figure it all:
lin dollars and cents, but it is'
; certain that no equal disaster
1 befell these ilood-stricken dis
tricts before,"
The west lost far more than
the east. The suffering people
iin that section not only should
draw forth sym pat In but help
of a practical kind.

Is a Good Breakfast Necessary?
Yes.
A good breakfast is the phys
ical basis of a day's work. The
American breakfast, regarded
with so much horror on the Eu
ropean continent, has contribu
ted largely to make the nation
what it is today. It enabled
our fore-fathers to do an amount
of work which it appals foreign
ers to contemplate.
As a rule there is something
wrong with the re an, or with
his habits, if he cannot eat a
good breakfast. A man who
' works at his tension all through
' the morning hours without this
substantial foundation is work
i ing entirely upon his nerves.
!■ That means disordered nutri
■ tion, and sooner or later, bank
• ruptcy and collapse.
I If a man gets up in the morn
i ing with a bad taste and no in

j gestive organs to accommodate

DUIMIM, IM. C. JUNE, 12 1901,
A Typical Caucasian.
On page 24 of Maury's Ele
mentary Geography, Revised,
there is an excellent picture of
Senator Zebulon Baird Vance,
underneath the picture is writ
ten, "A Caucasian."
Iu a conversation with Prof.
R. B. Hunter, supervisor of
county education, the agent of
the Maury Company told an in
teresting story of how the pict
ure of Senator Vance happened
to be iu the geography. When
the geography was revised a
committee was appointed to se
lect a photograph that would
serve to faithfully delineate the
type of each race. To obtain
the composite element, or to get
a picture that would best serve
to portray the varying features
of the Caucasian, the committee
selected 100 photographs from
various places in Europe and
150 from America. In writing
to the photographers the com
mittee requested that they se
lect the pictures they considered
as representative of the Caucas
ian.
It is singular that six Ameri
can photographers chose the
photograph of Senator Vance as
that of a typical Caucasian.
When the committee came to
njake a selection from the 260
photographs they reached their
decision by gradually discarding
photographs that were compar
atively unsuitable. At last the
six photographs of Vance re
mained which indicated that the
choice of the committee was
unanimous.
To those who have seen Sen
ator Vance or his photographs
the conclusion of the committee
is not surprising. His physi
ognomy embodied the best and
strongest in the Anglo-Saxon,
who is dominant among Cau
casians.—Charlotte Observer.

North Carolina's Progress.
The industrial progress of
North Carolina during the last
few years has been wonderful.£
When the present generation
cmni" upon the scene North
Carolina was ha-dly ki own . s
n nianufactoring .Stale, but n- w
in the extent, variety and pro
perty of its manufactures
wili compare favorably with
any State of the South.
Worth Carolina is not s=
fled wiili what she has aliva y
accomplished in this direction,
but is pressing forward with i: -
creasing vigor, more intelligent
efforts and better methods.
The State now has a large
number mills for the manufac
ture of cotton and wool. She
wants more and is determined
to give inereas' d attention to
the manufacture of the fin:
grades of cottons and woolens.
In order to do this she mu
have a larger supply »ff skill'( !
labor. Instead of depending up
on other countries and other
sections of our own country for
this North Carolina is moving to
increase her own supply of skill
ed labor.
The first necessary step to
ward this achievement has been
taken. A textile school is al
- operating with the North
Carolina Agricultural and Me
chanical College at Rahigh,
and is being greatly enlarged
and improved. Its new build
ing is now approaching comple
tion. In its construction, ar
rangement and equipment it j
will be a model.
Mr. 1). A.Tompkins, of Char-1
lotte, who has been of inc-alcul- i
tible service to the State in pro- !
moting its industries and arous- !
ing its people to an appvecia-'
tion of their importance, made!
the plans for the building, and i
will oversee the selection and J
placing of its mechanical equip
ment. This is a sufficient guar-1
antee that the preparation of the j
school for its great work will be I
well attended to.
Instructions in North Caro
lina's textile school is already
both technical and practical,
but the practical operation will '
be much more extended when
the new building is opened.
The State gave $20,000 for
this structure and it will receive j
much aid and much valuable j
donation from individuals in!
North Carolina and outside I,
friends of textile education in
the State. Georgia has one of the i
best textile schools in the coun
try as the department of her
School of Technology, and we
are glad to know that North ,
Carolina will soon have a tirst
class establishment of like
character. —Atlanta Journal.
