THE RESULT OF APPLYING RAIL ROAD EARNINGS TO DIVIDENDS ON WATERED STOCK IN8TEAD OF TO BETTERMENT OF THE PLANT. The manufacturers who recently met at Charlotte,, adopted the follow ing resolutions: Whereas, Grave Irregularities exist In the shipment of cotton, entailing heavy financial loss and Inconvenience to spinners, bills of lading being drawn omitting all car numbers and Initials, rendering them useless for tracing or locating lost or strayed shipments, cotton actually remaining at Initial place of movement two or three months before being finally loaded, getting water soaked before being compressed and otherwise care lessly and negligently handled. Demand drafts being promptly drawn on these Incomplete bills of lading presented for payment to said spinners, who are thus placed at great expense and loss in having to settle Bame two or three months before re ceipt of cotton; said' evils have be come so treat that cotton can be or dered from Egypt and received quick er and with no annoyance. Therefore be It Resolved, That the said evils exist ing be respectfully called to the at tention, and the earnest cc-opdra-tlon asked of the American Cotton Manufacturers' Association, National Association of Cotton Manufacturers, Cotton Manufacturers' Association of South Carolina, Cotton Manufacturers' Association of North Carolina, Geor gia Cotton Manufacturers' Association and Cotton Manufacturers' Associa tion of Alabama, to the end that the said evils be remedied as set forth herein; and, be It further Resolved, That with the opening of the cotton season of 1907-1908 said spinners decline to honor drafts un less accompanied by bills of lading covering cotton actually In cars, and containing car numbers, said car num bers covering cars actually holding said cotton as represented by bills of lading; and, be It further Resolved, That no draft be honor ed, regardless of car numbers being DR.

Upon this the Atlanta Journal makes comment, in part, as follows That a representative body of South em spinners should solemnly declare that they cap get cotton from Egypt more quickly than they can get from the interior cotton markets the South itself presents a situation which is absolutely Intoler-Vt. , H shows us the crying abuse of the rail road regime in a nutshell. What have we gained, after all, by bringing the mills to the fields If even the limited transportation necessary cannot be secured? And at how great and grievous a disadvantage Is the shipper placed when his orders come from the New England mills? The spot cotton houses of New York, Boston and Philadelphia are preparing to join in with the Southern and New England spinners in making a vigorous protest against the reck less system by which the common carriers continue to pay exhorbitant dividends on watered stock while their equipments become so depleted that they cannot even carry to market the cotton for which they have issued bills of lading. A high authority In New York de clares that never in the severest win ter has it been so difficult to get cot ton from the South, and that without water transportation, "two-thirds of the New England mills would be out of business. " The South suffers in a double de gree, being almost entirely dependent on railroad transportation, and both shippers and consumers have to bear the brunt of this shameless misman agement. One heavy suit for damages has already been filed by the Merchants and Farmers' Compress Campany, of Memphis, against the Nashville, Chat tanooga and St. Louis Railroad Com pany and its agent, the Gulf Compress Company. This Is a claim for $30,000, while still another suit for $50,000 against the railroad company alone has been filed in Mempnis. MaCUnCDANDDCFCNOCD.hrtBMMI nr,vr4htA A- l M All AAtlNTHIES.

Writ or ooms to us at THE USE OF MONEY IN ELECTIONS In discussing paper, by the way, opposed Bryan In 896, though coming over to his sup port in 1900: . Mr. Harrlmsn's Charges and the Pres ident's Explanation and De- ' - - nunclation. . If Mr. Edward H. Harrlman, rail road magnate and financier, tells the plain, unvarnished truth in the letter published In the New York World yesterday, the financial arrangements of the Republican campaign of 1904 and the part which the President play ed In connection with these arrange ments must be viewed In a light far different from that in which they have been seen heretofore. The revelations attributed to Mr. Harrlman were made originally In a letter which he wrote In December 1905, to a lawyer In New York. In this letter Mr. Harrlman as serts that the President requested him to come to Washington about a week before the, election in November,' 1904. Mr. Harrlman says that he went to the White House and that the Pres ident asked h'm to assist in raising funds for the campaign In New York. "The President," he states, "told me that he understood the campaign could not be successfully earned on with out sufficient, money." - After discuss ing the situation in New York and after the President had given certain assurances, according to Mr. Harrl man, that Senator Depew would be ap pointed Ambassador to France If not re-elected to the Senate, Mr. Harrlman returned to New York and was Instru mental in raising $200,000 for cam paign purposes. Of this amount he subscribed $50,000. He does not give the names of the other generous con tributors, but he states with a sig nificance which is readl'y understood: "The checks weie given to Treasur er Bliss, who took them to Chairman Cortelyou. If there were any among them of life insurance companies, or other like organizations, of course Cor telyou must have informed the Presi dent The amount enrbled the New York State committee to continue its work, with the result that at least 50, 000 votes were turned in the city of New York alone, making a difference of 100,000 in the general result." To appreciate the force and Impor tance of Mr. Harrlman's allegations a brief historical review Is necessary. The record is very suggestive. On Oc tober 29, 1904, Judge Alton B. Parker, the Democratic candidate for Presi dent, said, in reiteration of statements which he made previously in the cam: paign of that year: "The trusts are furnishing the money with which they hope to control the election. I am sorry to be obliged to say this. If It were not true, I would not say it to gain the Presidency or any earthly reward." Six days lrter, on November 4, right on the eve of the Presidential elec tion, Mr. Roosevelt denounced the statements of Judge Parker as "un qualifiedly , and atrociously false." "Certain" slanderous accusations as to Mr. Cortelyou and myself," said the President, "have been repeated time and again by Judge Parker, candidate of his party for the office of President. There Is not one particle of truth in the statement as regards any thing that has gone on in the manage ment of the Republican party. Mr. Parker's accusations against Mr. Cor telyou and me are monstrous." The Impression produced by Mr. Roose velt's statement was that Secretary Cortelyou, then chairman of the Re nublican National Committee, was not, directly or indirectly,, requesting or demanding contributions from corpor ations; also that the President was not asking campaign contributions from the heads of corporations. Mr. Roosevelt's emphatic and in some re spects vehement denial or judge Parker's charges ended the controver sy so far as the election of 1904 was concerned. Judge Parker was defeat ed, and President Roosevelt's friends claimed that the result was a complete vindication for the Chief Magistrate. Iu the following year a committee of the New York legislature made a searching investigation of the man agement of certain insurance compa nies. This inquiry revealed the fact that one of the companies under in vestigation had contributed $50,000 to the Republican campaign fund in 1904. This money has been paid back into the treasury of the company, not by the Republican National Committee or by the beneficiaries of the campaign fund, but by the man who gave his check to the committee and was re imbursed by the head of the insurance company. He made restitution after the Court of Appeals or isew iur uau decided that the money could be re covered in a civil suit. While the pub lic may have been Inclined before the revelations were made to believe that the corporations had not election oi mr. appointment of Depew as Ambassador to France. Why is It that two clear headed men cannot understand each other,, especially when one is Presi dent of the United State's? Mr, Har rlman Is now held up before the, world as one who utters "willful and delib erate untruths." He will find It next to Impossible to disprove this accu sation. The man wro gets into a personal controversy wfth the Pres ident of the United States contends against 'fearful odds. Of coursej the President has no motive In this mat ter except to set himself right. Nev ertheless, it Is clear that six months ago his wrath 1iad been aroused and he held then a very poor opinion of Mr.Harrlman. The railroad magnate had spoken contemptuously to Repre sentative Sherman of the President, of the United States and bis policies, and their conversation had been re peated to the President. If Mr. IHar riman "had it in" for the President, it is clear that Mr. Roosevelt has been waiting an opportunity to discredit him. The correspondence with dtep rflBentAtive Sherman certainly seema to indicate that the President ; Dad been expecting an attack and fas even advised as to tne nature oiviu The railroad magnate is more Wrerjtv stantial in his charge, howeysr, than the President is in his reply. It is not an altogether pretty quarrel, but it has all the elements of interest, in cluding the "lie" direct, it tne inter ests allied with Mr. Harrlman are with him in this fight, the result may have an lmnortant bearing on the next Presidential campaign. CURRENT COMMENT. Here is an amusing outcome of an Italian bigamy case, which is reported by the New York Tribune: "A re markable court decision in a bigamy case has been handed down at Peru gia, Italy, where Charles Balllori, a tailor, was acquitted of a charge of having two wives on the ground that he has two hearts. Pour physicians testified that Bailiorl had two hearts, and the court at once decided that this was ample reason for him to marry two women." THE RICHMOND REUNION. We have -pleasure in reproducing the following from the Chatham Rec ord: The next reunion of the United Con federate Veterans (as heretofore an nounced) will be held at Richmond on the 30th and 31st of May and on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of June. The last day is the anniversary of the birth of President Davis, and on that day (which is the first Monday in June) will be unveiled with impressive cere monies true monument or memorial that has been erected in his honor bv the ladles of the South. An immense crowd is expected and North Carolina will be more largely reoresented than any other State ex cept Virginia. This will probably be the last reunion that will be held at a city so accessible to the people of this State, and thousands will take advantage of this, 'their last opportu nity of attending a Confederate re union. The railroad companies will give the usual reunion rate of one cent a mile. This will make the fare for a round-trip ticket from Raleigh less than $4. Confederate camps and all veterans who will attend, ought to at once make arrangements for lodgings at the reunion, because they may be put to much discomfort unless they, do this before going to Richmond. The Citizens of Richmond will feed and lodge all veterans who are not able to pay board, and they ought at once to notify Captain D. A. Brown, Jr., chairman of the entertainment com mittee, at Richmond, that they are go ing, so' that their quarters may be re served. The newsnaoers of the State will confer a favor on many of their read- era by calling attention to this. THE PRESIDENT UNDER FIRE. Don't you think we had better leave honor out of the question! was the Inquiry addressed to Mr. Joseph Sur face. 1 1 An Anneal to Mr. Harrlman. Says the New York Sun: We find orrselves impelled by con sideration- that eeem of high Impor tance to Join with other Judicious persons in imploring Mr. Harrlman to. refrain from pursuing further the solution of the direct issue of veracity with the President of the United States which the President has raised- 1 We are not thinking of the merits of thecase, as presented In the insult ing accusation brought against Mr. Harrlman by Mr. Roosevelt. We are contemplating only the scandal, the spectacular Indecency, the hideous Immorality, in the broadest sense of the word, of continuing a contest which, even If It could be brought to a triumphant conclusion by Mr. Harrlman and his partisans, would result in exhibiting the President of the United States in a Hgnt nt to bring shame to the cheeks and sor row to the heart of every honest citizen of the republic. It is impossible to separate the mdn from the office, and to the Pies- rdentlal office Incarnate in its occu pant tor the time being, there at tach certein privileges and Immuni ties of a peculiar character render ed, necessary by public policy. This Is certainly so In the view of enlight ened public opinion, if not yet of the written Federal law. , If it be said on the other hand, that this conven tional respect cannot be entirely a onesided affair, that the necessary convention puts certain responsibili ties upon the Incumbent as well as upon others, and that popular respect Is subject to forfeiture on occasion, our reply Is that short of an impeach able offense mere is to appeal irom the President's own conception of whaY is proper conduct on his part except an appeal to his own con science. went about the business in a practical way and actually did raise $200,000" which was turned Into some campaign fund, It does not much matter which, and, bein; a practical man and know ing tint great labors of this sort are not asked without some idea of a retur v he was much chagrined to find that the "goods" were not deliv ered to him. Whatever may be the verlist on this matter, one thing is clear that It 1.. utseemly for the Prcident of the United States to be continually entering these violent perional con troversies, in which he undertakes to exhibit every controversialist as a liar who happens to run athwart him. We have now regulated the Insur ance companies and the railroad.;, und it i, ii:no. t l me to begin to regulate the p-i' fol.tr activities of the White Hour.o, as well as the notorious prac tice of frying the fat out of the rail roads and corporations, good and bad, for the purpose of buying elections, even In the most righteous cause.

Most of the papers, the Roosevelt-Harriman controversy, find Illumination In the charges which Judge Parker, then the Democratic candidate for President, made, Just before the election In 1904, that large sums of election money were being contributed to one bTnis 'opponent's J aithQugh JL-seema almost Impossible varieties The disposition of the public was favorable to the President at the first shock of the Harrlman revelations for Harrlman was held to be such an unconscionable rascal.

In fact, the worse Harrlman ap pears, the worse the President; for the present quarrel reminds the pub lic too forcibly of the adage about contributed to the DnnaouaH thoir faith was shaken ap preciably by the transaction in which I people of a certain kind falling out.

Ul Is as shocking as any page in hls toryof American politics Si. ci; the Credit Mobilier letters and tbu r imous "Burn this letter" of James G. l ..iine. The letter written by the Prudent to Harrlman that which confessed that he had asked Harriman to come to Washington, that which confessed that it might be better for them not to be seen talking together that which promised to consult Mr. Harri- mna about the Presidential message -was not terminated by the classic words, "Burn this letter," but it might well have been. It was marked "Personal" at the top. It revealed fully a character that has long been hidden from the public. It has come as a shock and a disillusion to mil lions of American citizens. The duty of every intelligent Amer ican is to study this Roosevelt-Harriman scandal and understand it clearly. The letters 'are before the public, and wo ask the fair-minded citizen to consider some questions and answer them for himself. Why did Roosevelt ask Harriman to come to Washington? Why did he ask a very large campaign con tribution from one of the men whom he has in his public utterances call ed "enemies of the republic?" It is not possible to take a man's money and ue. ngnting mm at. me same time. At least, that Isn't pos sible for an honest man. Why did Mr. Roosevelt get the large sum of money from Harriman? What was the bargain? Whv did Mr. Roosevelt want to discuss his message with Harriman? Had that anything to do with the monev that Harrlman at a critical moment raised for the Roosevelt fund a quarter of a million? Whv should Harriman or any oilier corporation man be consulted about a message addressed Dy tne President of the United States to the Coneress of the United States? Citizens, you must, think over these questions and answer them. you must form a new opinion of Theodore Roosevelt and his profession of pub lic morality and independence of cor porate controll, In the lisht these letters, these confessions, cast upon him and his character and his finan cial relations with the heads of great corporations. Why was Mr. Kooseveits nepre- sentatlve, Sherman, asking Harriman for money again last fall, when the insurance Bcandal had revealed tne way In which big corporations nad robbed the policyholders, and when Roosevelt himself was pretending to be opposed to all corporation contri butions to political funds? Atlanta Journal. ' The population of the United States, according to the figures which have Just been Issued by the Census Bu reau, is now practically eighty-four millions. The States which took a census in 1905 are Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Massa chusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming. In Michigan the census Is taken in the years ending with a "4." The population returns for these States was 26,263,877, an increase since 1900 of 1,901,572, or 7.8 per cent. For the remaining States and Territories the population for 1905, as determined by the method of estimat ing adopted by the Bureau of Census, was 56,283,059, an increase over 1900 of 4,374,040, or 8.4 per cent. The pop ulation of the fourteen States making an enumeration? estimated in the same manner, would be 26,204,762, a difference of only 0.2 per cent, from the actual returns. This close approx imate is evidence that in all cases where the f ;.;'ts of a:i enumeration are not available, the estimates may be accepted as the best attainable substitute. The population of continental Unit ed States In 1905, as obtained by ad ding the returns of the States which took a census In that year, and the remaining States and Territories, is 82,574,195, an increase over 1905 of 6,- 579,620, or 8.7 per cent. The estimated population for con tinental United States for 1906, is 83, 941,510, and for the United States, in clusive of Alaska and the Insular possessions, 93,182,240. Computed on the basis of the estimate of the densi ty of population of continental Unit ed States in 1906 is 28 persons per square mile, as compared with 26 in 1900. The rapid growth of urban popula tion is noteworthy. The total esti mated population of municipalities that Is, Incorporated places having 8, 000 or more inhabitants exclusive of San Francisco and Los Angeles, Cal., is 28,466,624 for 1906, an increase over 1900 of 3,912,188, or 15.9 per cent, while the estimated population of the United States exclusive of these cities, showed an increase of 4,480,008, or only 8.8 per cent. The 88 cities with an estimated pop ulation of 50,000 or more in 1906, had a total estimated population of 19,771, 167,, an Increase of 2,766,863, or 16.3 per cent., over that reported at the twelfth census. Cities which have come into this class In the period from 1900 to 1906, are Norfolk, Va.; Yonkers, N. Y.; Schenectady, N. Y.; Houston, Tex.; Tacoma, Wash.; Terre Haute, Ind.; Dallas, Tex.; Youngs town, Ohio; Fort Wayne, Ind.; Hol yoke, Mass.; and Akron, Ohio. The five leading cities and their estimated population in 1906 are as follows: New York, 4,113.043; Chicago, 2,049, 185, Philadelphia, 1,441,735; St. Louis, 649,320, and Boston, 602,278.

Judge Parker Was Right. Says the New York World: In all this nauseating mess the World cannot but find, as it-round In the Insurance disclosures, the strongest confirmation of the position it has consistently held upon these polntR: 1. That Judge Famer was essen tially right when, in the campaign of 1904, he charged that "the trusts were furnishing money with wnicn they hoped to control the election." 2. That President Roosevelt, lnsieaa of calling Judge Parker's statement unoualifiedly and atrociously false, might better have been engaged in reforming his campaign committee. 3. That the rewarding of ueorge a. Cortelyou by a high public office for his services as collector of campaign money from insurance companies and from financiers with axes to grind Is a wrong which time cannot cure and which subsequent brilliant service can scarcely extenuate. 4. That the failure of the KepuDii- oan majority In Congress to provide for the complete publicity of cam paign funds and to forbid corporation contributions thereto is Inexcusable. "Hlnh finance" has been too long the power behind the puppets ot pol itics. No graver need confronts me country than 'the need of cleaner elections and legislation free irom corrupting Influences. President In Unseemly Light. Says the Philadelphia Ledger: As a matter ot fact, it appears that Harrlman, the corporation -magnate, For catarrh, let ma send yo tree, Just to prove merit, a trial slie Box of Dr. Shoon'a Catarrh Kemeoy. u is President Roosevelt has named an admirable Waterways Commission, whose members are all well equipped for a work of very great importance. For years the railroads have obstruct ed water commerce in a spirit of short-sighted selfishness. By buying up competitive water lines, by differ ential tariffs aiming at waterborne freight, by monopolies of terminal facilities, by using their vast political influence for the killing of the canals, they have wantonly destroyed cheap water transportation. To-day the railroads are in the position of the greedy man who "bit oft more'n he could chaw." Yet there Is scarcely an important railroadjnlhei:ouritry which "would not be better off If It had efficient water parallels to relieve it of slow, low-grade freights and leave it the higher grades for quicker trans portation. This Is well understood In Germany and France, where canals are being constructed or Improved at great cost to work with and not against the railways. Farmers whose crops now rot for lack of transportation, business men whose goods are delay ed or damaged by railroad freight congestion, look to the waterways for relief as a check upon rauroao greea and mismanagement. No other nation except possibly Brazil, has such a vast system of natural inland waterways waiting only development and use. The Hudson made New York and is by New York neglected. The Mississippi alone receives water from Lake Chau tauqua, only seven miles from Lake Erie: Its affluent at Olean, N. Y., Is only twenty-five miles from the Gen esee, flowing into Lake Ontario; it re ceives, through the Chicago drainage canal, the waters of Lake Michigan, and It drains the furthest limits of Montana. The little Thames ana Seine are canallied and made to bear great burdens from points where they are smaller than scores of American rivers that do not work at all. Correspondence of the Observer. Elizabethtown, one of the oldest towns in the State, situated at the head of "tide Water" on the west Bide of the Cape Fear river, and the county seat of Bladen county, will have a railroad in the near future. Eliza beth township has called an election for the purpose of voting on a bond issue of $25,000 to aid in building a road from Elizabethtxmu. to Abbotts- burg, or some other town on the Sea board Air Line. From what the writer knows of the men who compose the company which proposes to build the road, he feels safe in predicting its success. When this road is built it will open up one of the finest trucking sections in Eastern North Carolina. We are reliably Informed that strawberries of the finest quality are raised from ten to fifteen days earlier in this section than in the other strawberry sections which have already made such phe nomenal success in the business. It is also a great fruit-growing country. Peaches rarely fail, and, besides, it is one of the finest farming sections to to be found anywhere. The above-mentioned company has already purchased several thousand acres of the finest long-leaf and rose mary pine timbered lands. This will bring a brighter and long-wisnea ior day to the old town whose people have helped to make North Carolina famous the McDowells, McMillans, Robinsons, Melvins, Clarks, Lyons, and a host of others whose names are familiar to students of history, such as the eminent General J. J. McKay, who represented this district in Con gress in "ante-bellum days" and was stvled "the watch-dog of the treas ury," with many others who have "passed over the river and are rest ing under the trees," but have left a heritage to their children and their children's children which will make thpm rise un and call them blessed. Mr. A. S. Hall, of FayetteviUe, who represents the company, deserves much credit for the promotion of the above enterprise. FKUuKtibo. A. J.
