The means to that end will Include re search, publication, education, the es tablishment and maintenance of char itable and beneficial activities, agen cies and Institutions and the aid of such activities. The cause of adverse social conditions, among them Ignor ance, poverty and vice, are to be stud ied and remedies are to be suggested. "While Its scope Is broad," says Mrs. Sage, "It should preferably not undertake to do within that scope wha,t ls D0W being done or is likely to be effectively done by other Indi viduals or by other agencies with less resources. It will be Its aim to take up the larger and more difficult, prob lems, and to take them up ae far as possible In Buch a manner as to se cure co-operation and aid In their so lution. In some instances it may wisely Initiate movements with the ex pectation of having them maintain themselves unaided after once be ing started. In other Instances It may start movements with the expectation of carrying them on itself. Income will only be used for Its charitable purposes, because the foundation is to be permanent and its action continu ous. It may, however, make Invest ments for social betterment which themselves produce income." President Gilman, of the John Hop kins University, who has been named as one of the incorporators, says: "Mrs. Sage's action Is most encour aging to all those interested In so ciological and charitable work. This munificent gift opens up vast possi bilities for the improvement of the so cial and living conditions of a great number ot people. The news must prove exceedingly cheerful and encouraging." It strikes us that Mrs. Sage has a better Idea of the proper use of wealth than most ot her contemporary phi lanthropists, so called. 1 JOHN C. DYE, M.

The Kinston Free Press, In the fol- decldedly hostile to Mr. Bryan after the Madison Square speech. No doubt the facts and influences allud ed to by us above have caused It to change Its attitude towards the great Commoner as In the following Inter esting article concerning Mr. Bryan's first round with Mr. Beverldge In .their magazine battle: ' Mr. Bryan on State's Rights, - The first Instalment of the maga zine discussion between Mr. W. J Bryan and Senator Beverldge appears In the current number of The Reader, and Is devoted to the issue which the President has forced upon the country, in his demand for the exer cise by the Federal Government of powers vested in the States by the terms of the Constitution. Mr. Bryan stands for the time-honored Demo cratic doctrine of State's Rights and Senator Beverldge champions Nation alism in the broadest sense, relying largely for justification of departure from Constitutional methods on the plea that the Trusts and their attor neys invoke the provisions of that. In strument against every attempt to curb their operations or punish their maltreatment of the public. This ls begging the question; be cause the merit of the object aimed at is utilized to direct attention from the plain usurpation necessary to ac complish it. Mr. Bryan shows by quoting Supreme Court decisions that no extension of Federal authority ls requisite to efficient handling of the Trusts, and he holds that the Inter state Commerce jurisdiction of Con gress Is ample to deal with all essen tial maters of railroad regulation. On the subject of the domestic powers reserved to the States, the Democratic leader ls very emphatic, and he treats with robust contempt the Roosevelt- ian idea that the right of a State to manese Its internal affairs in its own way can be questioned or interfere-! with and any or all departments of the general government Of the (Jail fornia-Japanese controversy Mr. Bry an says: "An agreement has recently been made in favor of extending the sphere of the general government viz., that it ls necessary to do so to protect the treaty rights of foreigners. Some have gone so far as to assume that the Congress has power to carry out the terms of a treaty without regard to Constitutional provisions. This is a very palpable error, for the Presi dent and the Senators who join in lowing article, strikes at the root of the making of a treaty are bound by Dr. E. L.

It is the inequal ity with which property Is assessed, as we have so often pointed out, that causes the trouble, and generally, we think, it operates to the Injury of those least able to bear such a burden. Says our contemporary: "In to-day's paper, Prof. Joseph Kin ney has a letter In which he discusses the inequalities that have crept into our assessments of property. That he is Btrlklng at an evil that exists no one who ls aware of the facts can deny. From one cause or another every piece ot property in the county oath to support the Constitution, and they can make no binding treaty which violates the Constitution Constitution which can only be amend ed by the concurrence of the people of three-fourths of the States cannot be suspended by the mere concurrence of the President and the Senate. "The exclusion of the Japanese stu dents from certain of the schools of San Francisco aroused the discussion in regard to the treaty rights of the members of that race living In San Francisco. "Upon no subject will the people of a State insist more strenuously in controlling their own affairs than in matters of education.

Some prop erty Is taxed more heavily in propor tion to its value than is the case with other property. . This ought not so to be. It ls not democracy in prac tice, whatever it may be in theory, for this state of affairs to exUt. Every man and every piece of property should be subjected to such a part of the public burden as is just and right In view of the value ot his holdings. If this were brought about the tax rate would ue considerably reduced and there would be no hardship any where. This is a very important mat- REAL ESTA INSURANCE.

No construction of the Consti tution could bring State schools with in the scope of Federal legislation, and no amendment contemplating such a change would commend Itself to any Bectlon of the country." The last sentence of this extract leads up to the position that amend ment to the Constitution is the only safe and lawful way in which the Fed eral agency can ever acquire control ot subjects now and always nereto fore held by the Courts to be reserved to the States, and Mr. Bryan aoes ANOTHER TESTIMONY TO THE SOUNDNESS OF THE CHICAGO , PLATFORM OF 1899.'. "Time's Revenges" have been ex ceedingly active of late In proving the correctness, In minutest detail, of the doctrines laid down in the Democrat ic Chicago platform of 1896. In none of these details has Its philosophic and foreseeing merit been more complete ly demonstrated than In the matter of the quantitative theory of money, which, following the dicta of the Eu ropean blmetailsts, it promulgated. When silver was finally demonetiz ed by the corrupt fusion of a part of the Democrats In Congress with the Republicans, In 1893, the Observer took occasion to express the belief that the day would come when an in crease In gold production would evoke a demand for its demonetization, also. We were laughed at then. We recently published a proposition by a Yale professor, who was said to be also an agent of the money chang ers of Wall Street that all metal be demonetized ana a State regulated currency be substituted. Now, here comes Mr. Theodore Price, the cotton man of New York, who sends us long cotton letter which contains statements and admissions so aston ishing that we reproduce them, in part, as follows: Thoughtful students of commercial phenomena cannot fail to be profound ly Impressed by the history of the sot- ton market during the past ten or eleven years. The American cotton crop for the season ending August 31, 1896, was 7,147,000 bales, and was marketed at an average of 7 cents per pound. In the Interval since the production has nearly doubled, and we have about completed the sale ot a crop of be tween thirteen and fourteen million bales at an average of probably 10 cents per pound. An increase of nearly 100 per cent. in the supply and a coincident ad vance of 30 or 40 per cent, in the price ls an economic paradox which justifies the closest scrutiny of the conditions which have made it possi ble. Until recently, some had attributed It to the newly-discovered advantages of "holding back" by the planters; but aside from the Intrinsic fallacy of such a theory, its fallacy has been this year' mqre evident than ever, for there has rarely been a season when planters Bold as eagerly, : 3 freely, or when the "uncommercial appeals" of Southern newspapers "to sell" ex hibited such a bearishlv speculative bias as during the past six months. Others claim that speculation in cot ton, which has been enormously pop ularized during the past ten years, is responsible for the higher range of values, but this is mistaking effect for cause and ignores the effort now being made In the South to suppress cotton speculation entirely as inimical to still higher prices. In my opinion, the real answer to the problem is exceedingly simple, but exceedingly profound. It is the world's gold production. I had almost said gold Inflation. The following facts, which are in disputable, permit of no other con clusion, and if this conclusion is cor rect, it Is fraught with tremendous im portance to the world: I. There ls no single product of la bor as essential to civilized humanity as cotton, and the increase in the de mand for it is co-extensive with the spread of civilization, industry and wealth. II. There ls, in consequence, no ar ticle of commerce that is as promptly and as easily exchangeable tor gold as cotton. As Henry Grady hath It, "It is gold from the instant it puts forth its tiny shoot. III. That during the past fifty years the "units of labor" Involved in cotton production have been prac tically unchanged, while in the case of nearly every other product of human Industry labor-saving machinery which has materially reduced the amount of labor (or "labor units") re quired for production, has been sue cessfully applied. IV. That during the past ten years, It is pl ilc, I thUX that the inflation of our gold standard is progressing at a fate that will ultimately lead to the demonetization of gold as a measure of rvalue; but before that is accom plished the stimulus of "gold infla tion' will drive prices to heights that will ma::a Cottoji at twenty, cents a pound and ecru at eighty cents a bushel seem reasonable. r, ' Gold Production of the World. 1492' to 1860 13,159,230,000 18611 to 1896 6,652,070,000 1896 - J202.998.626 1897 237,388,998 1898 289,74.3,680 1899 . 314,630,233 1900 255,634,500 1901 262,493,884 1902 i 296,049,0 )6 1903 325,526,991 1904 358,893,654 1905 1 376,289,200 1906 (est.) 400,000,000 3,319,649,372 I- Total $12,030,949,373 It.sVlll be noted that the past eleven yea.nl have furnished 27 per cent, of the gold production from 1492 to 1906.,'.

In the meantime the cashier found among some books the national bank act of 1896. "Here it is," he said. He read the paragraph which defined legal tender as follows: "Gold coin is legal tender for its nominal value when not below the limit of tolerance in weight; when be low that limit it ls legal tender in pro portion to its weight; standard silver dollars and treasury notes of 1890 are legal tender for all debts, public and THE 8MART MAN. . Charity and Children. The reposition to erect a monu ment in Charlotte' some years ago to that clt. 's great citizen, Z.. B. Vance, was killed as dead as a wedge by the suggestion, zealously pressed, that an other monument be raised in memory of Ransom. Ransom was a useful pub lic servant and represented bis Stato with ability and faithfulness, but he never was in the same class with Vance, and everybody knew it except the zealous partisans of tho Roanoke statesman. In like manner, when sonn n j introduced a bill to provide a st t o for Vance in the Capitol at Wasli.i.gton, one of these ulruble and sman Alexanders arose and iu a top lofty speech proposed to do the same thing for the late Or Charles D. Mc Iver. Now, Dr. Mclver was' a very effective force in the educational realm but it ls nonsense to rank him along with a man Uko Zeb Vance, and i misguided friend who docs so dam ages the reputation of the man he seeks to befrl-sii'i. Such men, how ever, are to be found everywhere, and they are pestiferous blunderers wher ever found. They never take counsel of reason, refuse the advice of people with more sense, and rush heedlessly in where angels fear tot read. They are always dogmatic and overbearing be cause they know It all and cannot be mistaken. It was reported of a Meth odist preacher up North recently that he stated publicly that Mr. Rockefel ler was a worthy associate for the Saviour.

Major E. J. Hale, Fayetteville, N. C, My Dear Sir: I wil lthank you to send me at your earliest convenience all the available data and information In respect to the improvement of the Upper Cape Fear. I am very much interested in the canalization of the river ai:d I desire to inform myself as to the tacts In order that I may be better able to assist In securing the required appropnaiion from the next Congress. I had a long talk with Sen ator Overman on my recent trip to Washington, and we are confident that we will be able to secure an ap propriation from the Sixtieth Con gress to begin the work. The people of the Cape Fear Sec tion are now face to face with the greatest business proposition that has ever bean presented to them. We can acquire this important improvement by an intelligent, persistent and ss tematlc effort on the part of our busi ness men iu educating the puuule to the possibilities and benefits ot ibis work. Congress will soon follow pub lic sentiment in favor of any great public enterprise, and we must make a determined demand, backed by a compelling public sentiment favoring necessary appropriations for this im provement. I am in favor of this improvement, have been in favor of it in the past, and expect to favor It with all my ef forts in the future. I have declared r it In both public and private con versation, and I advocated It upon the stump in every county in the dis trict in the recent campaign, stating at the time that it was the most im portant measure now before the peo ple. That the improvement of the Caye Fear means increased facilities for transporting freight, and the conse quent saving of hundreds of thou sands of dollars to both producers and consumers, is self evident. Our wa ter power to-day is our greatest un developed resource. Wc can make this river a great navigable highway, which will help remove freight con gestion and lower rates. If we can improve this river it will mean in creased value of the land and ItB products for the Cape Fear Section by securing new markets and more direct transportation at a cheapened cost It will mean naturaL regulation of freight rates for this entire sec tion. I desire to congratulate you upon the determined effort you have made towards this improvement. I have noted, with a great deal of pleasure, the articles which you have recently published in- the Fayetteville Observ er. " I wish you would send me these articles as some of the papers In "The late General Assembly," said Q. K. Nimocks, Esq., county attorney, in an interview with an Observer re porter, "was generous fn its enact ments for Cumberland county, many and Important acts being passed in her behalf. Most, If not all, of the leg islation enacted was in response to public demand to meet the needs of a growing and progessive constituency. It will enable both the county . and the city to go forward with more rap id stride in a greater growth and larger development, which is the man ifest destiny of both. It will help us to get rid of the opprobrium of con tinuing -a 'pauper county.' It will make possible a 'greater and more beautiful Fayetteville' if the people want it, and of course they do. 'The act authorizing the county com missioners to levy a special tax and Issue 10-year bonds, if necessary, not to exceed $15,000, with which to build steel bridges in place of the larger and more expensive wooden bridges of the county as needed, Indicates a progressive policy of the county gov ernment, in keeping with the awaken ing and spirit of our people. "The repeal," says Mr. Nimocks, who ls an ardent Prohibitionist,, "of the prescription feature of the county prohibition law was demanded by the unanimous vote of the County Medi cal Society, and its further retention would have invited wholesale abu The law was already abused to some extent, reports from two drug firms to a recent term of criminal court showing a sale of about 800 gallons of liquor in about six weeks, entire ly too much it would seem for purely medical use in the absence of cpl demic. Our doctors and druggists are law-abiding citizens, and a strict on servance of this feature of the l.iw imposed a great hardship upon them which its repeal will remove. Those who have depended upon whisky pre scriptions for medical use may take courage from the example of our sis ter county, Robeson, which repealed the drug-store feature of its prohibi tion law sixteen years ago. The amendment of Section 2060 of the Re- visai introduced by Dr. McNeill, ap plies to the whole State, and enables the State to make pupof of the posses sion of a United States Government license by the testimony of any wit ness who has examined the official record in the Internal Revenue Col lector's office. Section 2060 already provided that the possession of such a license was prima facie evidence of guilt of violating prohibition laws, but t was impossible to prove the posses sion of such a license, as the Govern ment record and Government officers were not available for use in trials in State courts for violation of liquor laws. Dr. McNeill's amendment rem dies this serious defect of our State law. "The act authorizing Cumberland county to levy a small pension tax to supplement the meager pensions paid by the State to disabled Confederate soldiers residing in the county, is new departure in legislation. It is a righteous law and other counties will no doubt speedily follow Cumberland's example. It is an honor to our people to have been the first to adopt such a law which will be heartily approv ed and the tax cheerfully paid by all our people. "Our Senator and Representatives in the legislature were conspicuous in nearly all the great debates of the ses sion and took a prominent part in most all the legislation enacted. Both in the Senate and In the House, Cumber land was ably represented, and on nearly all questions, except the uew county matter, our Senator and mem bers stood together, and what is bet ter still, stood by the people in their public acts."

The following from the Mobile Reg ister of March 7th will be read with interest by the many friends and rela tives of the gentleman named, not alone In Fayetteville, but elsewhere throughout the State. Mr. Hines lived for a number of years In Fayetteville at the home ot his aunt, Mrs. Sarah Robinson, at Monticello, and went to school at Donaldson Academy to Col. Jeff Robinson and Col. Harry Myrov- er. He has always kept a warm spot in his heart for Fayetteville, and spent ten days here last fall with his relatives, after an absence of thirty- five years. He is now Sunday editor of the Mobile Register, a position to which he was promoted about two years ago: "Thirty years ago last night, a slim youngster who said his first name was 'Dick' went to work as a 'sub' for Jos eph Tilllnghas, compositor, for The Register. In time, he became a re porter, when he was 'Richard' Hines to everybody, and later he be came city editor and sporting editor and 'Mr. Hines.'-. In course of. time as his 'kid' weight grew of 160 grew into his present 345 pounds of solid good nature and popularity, he filled all the journalistic positions and ultimately became 'V Hines, by which affection ate name ba ls Ttnown to-day through out Mobile."
