H. llayne of that city j roposed a f lau to enable the farmers to hold their rotloir, whidi apear9 to bo wortl y of note. He otters jHirsonally to take 10,000 bales of the eurplu3 wbUh now ihrpftttns the debtruction cf market values, and to store it under a prote2ted agreement to hold it In tact until October 1, 1005. I pon this he will advance o cents per pound on reasonable and ordinary commercial terms. He believes that at least 100 other individuals or business 11 rnis will enter into a Bin ilar arrangement, thus withdrawing 1,000,000 bales from the market ar d thfrehv civo the "bears" a black o eye. Mr. Hayne does not propose as others have proposed, any need le-is expense in the connection, fcuch as the aipmeut of the cotton to three or four central points and tho build ing of temporary storehouses for its accommodation. Ho proposes the storage of the eurplus crop at into - rior localities convenient to the larms that produced it and the avoidance of all unnecessary changes and outlays, lie says: If this is done, and it can be done without the least danger, what cotton remains iu the hands of the farmers will increase in "value not less than S10 uer bale. The fact that 1,000,000 bales, if not more will be carried over to the next crop, would causo a material reduction iu acreage. If the cotton trade is abso lutely assured that 1,000,000 bales will undoubtedly be added to the next crop, and tho acreage for next tita?on is really reduced in tho neigh borlioodot Zo percent., iheie is no question to my mind that this 1,000,000 bales will sell much nearer 10 cents than 5 cents. 'The warehouse time receipts will form au ubtoiutely tale collat eral, aud a luau on Uiu terms men tioned will Ou tiiiireiy tale, as lar as the ladder n cuiittriied. littukiug institution: una iuuiviUitals hue an opportunity to itiid money lor the next six jLuautub ai a luir iale cf in terest ou a cuiiuitihl that could hardly bo better, aud it wculd un aoubiedly, as lar as l can fcte, en able the farmer to obtain a much better price for the balance of his crop." Mr. Ilayne's plan appears to be the most feasible one yet presented to the cotton growers. It is at least worth their consideration. Cotton that is held should be stored in a dry place, aud elevated from the ground, to there will be no danger of damage to the staple. SHOULD SALARY OF THE JUDOES BE INCREASED! A few days ago a bill passed the Senate to increase the salaries of the supreme and superior court judges from f 2,500 to $3,500 per annum If this bill passes the House it will mean an additional cost of $21,000 a year to tupport our judiciary. Will the tax-payers get their moo ey's worth? The advocates of the bill claimed that the salaries of the judges was not sufficient to get the best legal talent on the bench, and that many who accepted a judge ship did it at a sacrifice. If this be true why is it that none of the judges havo resigned their positions? And why is it that there is such a scramble during every campaign, among the best lawyers of the State, for these posi tiona? If the judges are holding their positions at a sacrifice there are plenty of other good lawyers in the State that would be glad of their places. These places are not forced upon any one. If there is money to spare why not give more .of it to the jurors who are forced to attend court whether they wish to or not. Many, of the jurors at every court are country people who are forced to leave their farms and their business, at a financial loss, to serve as jurors for the sum of $1 per day, which in many cases is not enough to pay his board and loding, while he is attending court, while the judge, even at the present salary, receives between $7 and $8 per day for his Eer vices. We re peat, if there is money and to spare, Why not let some of Use country people get 6 whack t It? j GI.K.N.N'-S SIt.VR TK LEO HAM. When the bill to increase the sal aries of fcupreme and superior ccurt Judges was before the Benate lt Thursday some startling news in regard to the bill to increase the governor's salary was brought cut. Before Governor Glenn was ioiagu rated a bill was introduced by Sena tor Scatcs to Increase the salary of the Governor to f "5,000 per yer Just a few days beforo Governor Glenn was to be inaugurated he sent la telegram to one oi ine oenaiors not to this bill on his account. Senator Scales says Gov. Glenn did not hfnd this telegram until he siw the bill could not pass in lime to benefit liim. Itead the following extract from beaks' sieech in the fienate Toursday: 44Tbat bill wa prepired by th closest friends of Gov. Glenn and with his knowledge and content. I was reuue-ited by the friends of Governor Gkni, with his full ap proval, to introduce the bill with the expectation that it could be passed at the first of the session, be fore the inauguration, so that Gov. Glenn would receive the Increase of walary during his term as governor. The bill met ray hearty approval ard I intrcduced it. The bill wa? before this body when Gov. Glenn stfnt Ids telegram." So it now seems that Governor Glenn's Silver Telegram was not buch a "macnamimous act." He wanted the increase in salary until he found he could not get the bill passed in time to benefit him and then he decided to have the bill withdrawn. Some of Democratic papers praised Governor Glenn for sending this telegram. Wo fail to see where any praise is due Governor 1 Glenn for sending his telegram after J he saw the bill could not pass in I time to benefit him. .According to Senator Scales, it is not tho Gov ernor'a lault that he will not draw $4,000 extra from the tax-payers during his encumbency. TO VOTE ON STATEHOOD TTJES- - - DAY. The Statehood bill will come up in Congress again next week. The Senate has agreed to vote on the bill next Monday. In just what' form the bill will be passed cannot definitely be foretold. Many believe that something like the Foraker amendment will be adopted. That amendment provides that New Mexico and Arizona shall not be admitted to form one State un less the citizens of each Territory at a separate election favor it by a ma jority vote. In other words, the objection of a majority of voters in either territory would prevent the erection of a State. Still another important amendment provides for the erection of a State out of New Mexico alone. The advocates of Statehood for Oklahoma and Indian Territory are now Eanguine that it will be author- jzed at this session of Congress. NEWS AND OBSEItVEi: SHOULD BE CONSISTENT. The News and Observe has recent ly had a dream that "Public business must be transacted in the public." It's a pity that this idea did not strike the Observer while the inves tigation of the management of the A. and N. C. Eailway was being conducted behind closed doors at Newbern last fall. Wasn't that public business;? Didn't the State own the majority of the stock? Wasn't that investigating commit tee paid for their work out of the Statb's trtasury? ' And again, when a committee was appointed by Gov. Aycock last fall to select a site for the encamp ment of the State Troops, why wasn't their report as to the proper site for encampment made public. WasnH the Goveanora public offi cial? Wasn't the committee paid for their work out of the State's money? And isn't'the State Malitia supported by the tax-payers of the State? Why didn't the Observer demand them that "Public business must be transacted in the public"? Oh ! be consistent, Mr. Observer, be ccn sistent. OF FOR AJfD BY THE CORRUPT. The Savannah News, in speaking of the South Carolina dispensary system, quotes Mr. J. G. Wolley, national leader of the prophibition- 1st, as saying that it is "of the cor rupt, for the corrupt and by the cor rupt." And yet the Simmonites in North Carolina would establish a dispensary system in this State. And for what reason? And is it not reasonable to suppose that .these dis pensaries would be controlled by the same element in this State? ' The next Convention of the Cot ton Growers will be held in Asbe-Viile.

'Major Georgo E. Butler, Repub lican representative from Sampson, yesterday Intrcduced the following: A hill tn tm entitled an act to re peal chapter 543 of the Public Laws of 1901, and chapter 751 of tho Public laws of 1903, appropri ating annually (?200,000) two hundred thousand dollars out of the State treasury for public edu cation, and to substitute therefor an act for tho appropriation of (f 200,000) two hundred thousand dollars annually out of the State treasury to be distributed upon an equitable plan of apportion ment. "Tho General Assembly of North Carolina do enact: "Section 1. That chapter 543 of Public Laws of 1901 and chapter 751 of the Public Laws of 1903, be and the same is hereby repealed. "Section 2. That the sum of ($200,000) two hundred thousand dollars be, and the same is hereby appropriated annually, out of the State treasury for the benefit of the public schools, to b3 distributed to the counties -of the State upon the basis of apportion ment, hereinafter provided. "Section 3. That the State Eupsr- intendent of public instruction is hereby required to ascertain prior to the first Monday in January each year, the total number of children in each county in the estate of school age, and the total school fund in each county in the State (special and local taxes not included), and he shall ascertain therefrom the av erage amount - of money each county in the State has for each child of school age within said coun ty. "Section 4. The State superin tenuent snau tnereirom man; 9 a statement showing the amount each county in the State is entitled to out of this ($200,000) two hundred thousand dollars appropriation, in order to equalize as near as po&sible in every county in the State the amount of money to each child of school age for education. "Section 5. That Eaid statement shall be filed with the State audi tor, who shall be on the first Mon day in January of each year, upon the warrant of the State superinten tendent of public instruction, issue his warrant to the State treasurer, payable to the county treasurer of each of the respective counties en titled to the same, in the sum shown to be due each county by said statement: Provided, that in fixing such amount no consideration shall be had of any fund raised by special or local taxes in aay of said coun ties. "Section G. No appropriation shall be made to any county, under this act, unless the county superintend ent of schools, the clerk of the superior court and the treas urerer of said county shall make affidavit that all fines, forfeitures, licenses and penalties, and return money belonging to the school fund have been so applied and that the constitutional limit of taxation has been reached in said county, and any officer who shall fail to perform the duties herein required, or shall knowingly make any misrepresen tion of any fact3 in any respect required by this act shall be guilty of a misdemean or, and upon conviction thereof may be removed irom office, and may be fined or imprisoned in the discretion of the court. "Section 7. That the State super intendent of public instruction shall include in his annual report a full i A 1 ouuwiug oi ine amounts ap portioned to each county under this act, and the basis of such apportion ment. "Section 8. That all laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this act are hereby repealed. ' "Section 9. That this act shall be in force and effect from and after iU ratification." Maj. Butler claims that the plan of apportionment provided in the bill will equalize the school term over the State and will encourage econo my in the expenditure of the school fund in the various counties. He further claims that the present plan of distributing this large fund en courages extravagance la the expen- W'. i ' " , - - of idltare&of the school fund, in that acy county ca a, b increasing their expecoi.urej lor ruooiDZ expen.i res and by constantly Increasing the salary cf its teicbers and its superin- tetdent, fall to ran Its schools foar month', but it loses coUdog by Its increased expenditures fur its school machinery, which In rainy counties j borders cn extrivagance, for that any county can call upon the State! treasury to supply It with sufficient fund i to make up its deficiency. Mj. Butler stys that many coun ties one and two years ago ran their! schools four months without calling ujon the State for any assistance, but this year they have made applica tion for frnm nnn thruiMnrl tn three thouand dollars aid from the State. eince these countiM do not show increased number of schools. or aay decrca30 In lhelr county !h, fuD(1 u b t llMW that t - th(?y are now calling -Tor aid," said the author of the proposed bill. "The plan of distributing this fund a? now provided, Is an Inen- tive to extravagance, but the plan provided in this bill will promote economy in all the counties and will in my opinion increase the school term from four months, which we I nrvttr Viot-a (a at lotdt fl mrtrttlia " There was a lively time in the Senate Thursday when the Ward bill, increasing the salaries oi the supreme and superior court judges, came up. This bill increases the salaries of the supreme and su nerior court judges to $3,500. This is a raise of $1,000 for the judge, One of the Senators said he would not support the bill unless the Gov ernor's Eaiary was increased also. (It will be remembered that Glenn sent a Silver Telegram, asking the legislature not to increase the Gov ernor's salary ou his account after he found it would no be passed in time to benefit him). Senator Scales who advocated raising the judges' salaries alluded to the fact that the now famous telegram ol Governor Gleen, asking the legisla ture not to pass a bill increasing the Governor's salary on his account, had been cited in this debate and Senator Scales went on to say that the newE paper praise of Governor Glenn in this alfdir was unjust and no credit was was claimed by the Governor. According to Senator Scales the bill was intrcduced with the approval and consent of Governor Glenn and the latter only sent his telegram when it became apparent that there would be a fight on the measure and he did not want to embarrass hie friends. Senator Williams declared that in his opinion tho Senatoi from Guilford was not justified in going into this matter on the floor of the Senatj. TIIAT SILVER TELEGRAM. Governor Glenn Asked the Legislature! Not to Increase the Salary of the Gov ernor on Ills Account After He ; Saw it Would Not Pau in Time to Benefit Dim. When Senator Scales, of Gull ford, was advocating the bill to in crease the judges' salaries last Thurs day; one Senator objected unless the Governor's salary was increased also. Senator Scales got wrathy and let the cat out of the bag about Glenn's Silver Telegram. We copy the following account from Friday's Raleigh Post: f'At this point Senator Scales made a statement that attracted in terest. He said in part: "The Senator from Scotland (Mr. McLean) has dragged in the name of our great Governor, B. B. Glenn, in the hope that this may influence Senators to vote against this bill by citiDg the Governor's telegram ask ing thai the bill designed to in crease his salaiy be withdrawn. J eannot permit the name of our Governor to be used for this pur pose without stating the facts in the case. That bill was prepared by the closest friends of Governor Glenn and with his 'knowledge and consent. I was requested by the friends of Governor Glenn, with his lull approval, to introduce the bill with the expectation that it could be passed at the first of the session, before the inauguration, so that Governor Glenn would receive this increase of salary during his term as Governor. The bill met my hearty approval and I introduced it. The bill was before this body when Governor GleDn sent his tele gram, since then a number of newspapers have done Gov. Glenn an injustice in placing him in a false position. I know Governor -Glenn too well to suppose that he wants credit for something that he did not do. I have been twitted since by some of my friends and accused of trying to thrust a salary upon Gov ernor Glenn that he did not want. I was perfectly willing to bear this and remain silent, but now when the Governor's telegram is used against this, bill I must tell the facts. Governor Glenn sent that telegram asking that the bill be withdrawn not because he did not want more salary, but for the reason that he was in formed that the bill was going to be attacked, and he wanted to save his friends any embarrassment.
