C , &?pt. 26, 1903: Editos or ths Obsirvib: Cumberland Mm is running on foil time both day and night with a fnll supply of orders and no scarcity cf cotton, as the farmers have long sinee found that they ean realm as good price for their cotton at this place as anywhere. We now have with us Mr. and Mrs J. Frederick Houston. Mr. Houston is lockiog after the interest of the mill and is mapping nut work for wbieh will be so faiihfullv performed by Mr. J. B. Driver, tbe efficient super intendent. Mr. Krngher, tbe general engineer ot power, has mapped out tbe situation for tte new boilers ana engine wbieh will be installed at onee. We hope, and bave good reasons to believe that ibe day is not far distant when we ean hear tbe touod of the shuttles of a pio-h mill at this place. With a public road running from Cumberland to Fayetteviile, wbieh we feel sore will soon be granted by our County Commiesioaers, and a thousand-dollar school hoase, then we ean commence feeling like new Cumber land and not old Beaver Creek, as we are so often dubbed with. Mr. Houston, the president of the mill, ie very liberal, and Mrs. Hons' on is very anxious to see tbe children have t good school. Now, it our northern friends take ao interest 10 tbe ebildreo of a cotton factory, then why not tboee in authority of our school take some interest. Up to tbis time we have not bad a school committee appointed, or at least nooe has beeo officially notified We bave c flared our last year straw hat to any man who would say be was a school committee, but tbe old hat ia still in our ranch. Littli Iaisa. las xHwirettra aa 0si Beaaa. Oae of the most hopeful sign lor the tutor of Good Roads in North Caro line ia tb attitude of tb newspapers all over tbe State toward this public question. Editors, like politicians, live with one ear on the gronnd to bear the first rembliogs of an approaching pop ular uprising; and are the first to de tect the qaalitie tbat insure perms, nenoy and popular favor to the move ments affecting tb masses of onr pop nlation. The good roads proposition has been Lagitated loog enough to euabls our people to determine whether or not it is a good thing, and the tact that onr newspapers constantly advocate a pro gressive policy along this line is a good indication ot its petmaneney as a pub lic question. Several of our leading papers devote each week considerable spaoe to tbe subject, and nponany poblie occasion when good roads are to be diseoseed, special representative of tb pr ar sent, sometime long distance, io order to secure complete and accurate report of tb proceeding. A few days ago neb a meeting was held at Lake view, in Moore county (N. C ) and tbe leading dailies on tb following morn ing eootahed a fnll account of what was done there. Upon the publicity sforded by an intelligent pre most tb advocate of good roads depend (or the edusatioa aad inspiration of onr oitiisnsi and il ia believed that through tbis medium nor than any otber will bo brought about tbe ultimata reform ia onr pub lia road system at pratont advocated by a rapidly increasing Minority, Fir at a varsioh faetory la Chicago eaoscd a low of (350,000. aDMmusy lee Calls Tor. Noifolk Ytruiaian-PUol Tne Brock yo Eagle says that "there are peculiar reasons why the Southern D.mocracy should find out what tbe Dortbern Democracy want and endorse it.'' The chief ot those reasons it finds 10 the determination of northern ma chine Republicanism to reduce South ern representation in Congress and the Electoral College, and otherwise harry and injure this section. We should say tbat tbe Saathern Democracy has already shown about all the deference to tbe preferences of tbe northern Democracy that ean rea sooably be expected of it. For 35 years it has beeo potting up the vote and allowing the northern Democracy to pat op the candidates. It has, of eoorse, exercised a voice in the selee tion ot those candidates, but they bave always been nothern or western men. Wbat more tbe Southern Democracy ean, with self-respect, concede is not quite plain. As for tbe danger that if tbe Re publicans win io 1904 they will attempt to rednee Southern representation, we recogmxe aod admit it. The attempt will be made beyond qaeetioo. As the Eigle says, the macoine Republicans are "aching'' to make the attempt. But it does not necessarily follow tbat the attempt will soeeeed. And even if it shonld, it is not settled that tbe S ath ern Democracy cannot better afford to give up part of the Sooth's repreeeota lion than to surrender its principles aod rights to a free voice in tbe party's affairs. Tne Eagle also thinks that Federal control of Coogreeeional elections is one danger to be apprended if tbe Re publicans should win in 1904. We ean not agree with it as to that. There ia an element of the Republican party that 1 for a Federal foree bill bat it is a dwindling element. We believe the Lodge bill eame nearer to a passage than will any similar measure here after. Tbe sentiment ot tbe north has grown away from, not toward, that sort of thing. It woold, besides, not be worth while to pase such a law after the Bepubli eans had acquiesced in disfranchise ment by reducing the Sooth's represen tation. Tbe Republicans could not then hope to elect Congressmen from tbe South until they bad built up a wbite Republican party in tbe Sooth. And with such a party, able to contest control of state affairs with the Demo crats, there would be nothing to gain by such a law. Oo tbe whole, we see so reason wby the Southern Democracy should be subservient to tbe northern Democracy in tbe next convention. Ckvi lasixTrrsas.

Last Sunday tbe member of tbi patriotic orgamxttioo attended services at St. Paul' Cbapel and heard the Rev Dr. Robert Morris Kemp make an eloquent plea to Amer ican women to retrain from marrying foreign nobleman. Io 1he opinion of Dr. Kemp, "tbe marriage of oor fair young womanhood to tbe title .of im pecunious 'noblemen' ie disloyal to tbe blood our founders shed." Patriotic societies, he added, "bave 00 more reason for establishing an aristocracy of birth in tbis land than they bave in coodooiog that far more reprehensible aristocracy of wealth wbieh appears to be showing its hideous mien among as." No donbt there are many Dangbter who would look witb scorn upon a "noble" suitor who eame from a coon try which onee sought to hold us in bondage to tbe British crown. He might bave the blood of tbe Vere de Veres in his veins and bear tbe proud est title in his native land. But tbe spirited Daughter ot the Revolution, remembering Washington and York town, Andrew Jackson and New Or leans, would give him the mitten, in a moment ot exalted patriotism, aod bid him begone. But possibly there ate Daughter whose memories are short lived, wbo are not rood haters, aod who, in a moment of weakness, might consent to marry a "belted Earl" whose ancestors had oppressed us. They should hearken unto the appeal ot Dr. Kemp, aod torn a deaf ear to tbe woo iog of "noblemen," whether impecu nious or riebly endowed witb the coin of the "mother country." There are many sturdy young Americans, wbese superior claim to ths affections of Uncle Sam's patriotic daughters arc indisputable. Tbey ought not to be left ont in tbe cold while a stranger from aeroe tbe Atlantic, witb a string ot titles aod an empty parse, carries off our wealthy maidens. It is high time, in the view ot tbe patriotic New York clergyman, (or tbe Daughters ot the Revolution to ioaogurate a noble reform. Let tbem issue a revised cdi tion ot tbe Deelaratioo of Indepeod enee that will strike terror to the hearts ot tbe fortune-hunting "noblemen" ot the Old World. Boawn Itsau.
