And despite the opposition based solely on prejudice and support ed now by a sort of strange pride, the Rrvan sentiment has waxed stronger and stronger in this state." That is hitting the head of the nail. Four out of five of the anti-Bryan democrats do not know why they are anti-Bryan. If they ever had real reason for antagon ism changed conditions have removed it. Some assert, like parrots, that Bryan is weak with the people, yet the record is that he is stronger with the masses than any candidate the party has had, Cleveland not ac cepted." Undoubtedly Mr. Bryan is the peo ple's man. "Interests" have opposed him, and contributions from "Inter ests," better known as trusts, secured his defeat. Once iive Mr. Bryan a fair show with the masses and his election is sure. True, a few people are to be found in every community who har bor a strange prejudice -against Mr. Bryan, but as the State observes they have little reason for their animosity. CHILD LABOR LAWS. In his last special message to con gress President Roosevelt sought to impress the need of immediate legisla tion, looking to the exclusion of the child from American factories and mills. Last week Minority Leader John Sharpe Wiliams outlined the legisla tion, recommended by the president, which would meet with the support of the democratic members, and that which would not. Speaking of the child-labor recom mendation, Mr. Williams struck a key note when he said: "Child labor ought to be prohibited throughout the nation, but the states are sole authorities having con si itutional power to prohibit it. If those who could protect the children of the land, and through them the genera tions to come, would waste less of their time in the useles agitation for invalid and unconstitutional federal legislation, and would devote more of their time wi the several states, it would be better for all." Undoubtedly this must be the convic tion of the people of the different states. All must, realize the need of legislation looking to the cessation of child labor, but so long as the princi ples of our government are followed out, this matter must be left to each state to pass upon. It is encouraging to note the rapidity with which the var ious states are taking action in this highly important matter. At the last legislature of this state a child labor law was passed. Many other states have taken similar action, and at the present rate, it will not be long before it wi'I be unlawful for a child to be employed in the mills and factories of any of the states. A national child labor law would take this matter out of the hands of the states. Never in the history of this republic has more been done to rob the states of their rights and privileges or to centralize power in the hands of a few" politicians in Washington than since, Hon. Theodore Roosevelt assumed com- j mand. And most of this change has) hfpn wrnnsTit undpr hi? rlirprtion ( Mr. Williams is right it should rest with each state to effect legislation governing such matters as the one in question, and any attempt at federal interference should be resented by ev ery state. GILLETTE PAYS PRICE. This morning at 6: IS in Auburn pris on, Chester Gillette, paid the price re quired by law for murder. Elsewhere in today's paper will be found a com plete story of the black crime which this young man was electrocuted today. The criminal records of the country contain no account of crime more hor rible in detail and significance. After ruining the country girl who gave him her heart, Gillette finished her life story of misery on the waters of Big Moose Lake. "Whatever a man soweth that shall he also reap." What a fearful exempli fication of the truth of this biblical phrase! What a warning to men of the world is this case of Gillette! Today's dispatches state that Gil lette had accepted the Christian faith, and died happily. We can only trust this is true. The senate has passed the Aldrich makeshift financial bill. The "Inter ests" are exultant. NEW COTTON MILL FOR BLACKSBURG Special to The News. Blacksburg, S. C, March CO. Blacksburg has at last secured definite ly the new ?125.000 cotton mill, the erection of which has been agitated for some months past. The new mill will be situated on the northern edge of the city, and will be called the Blacksburg Mills. The prospects for a bright future for Blacksburg seem good, especially in this line, as Mr. G. Long Anderson, an experienced mill man from Williams ton, S. C, will be the head of this industry. Contracts for paving the streets have been let to Mr. J. C. Ross, of this place, and work has already begun. This will, indeed, be a great improve ment, as the city is badly in need of better sidewalks. Miss Jessie, and Mr. Frank Sumner, of Norfolk, Va., are the guests of Mrs. Jimmie Roberts, of this place. Mr. John McSween, of Davidson Col lege, N. C, spent a few days of last week with Mr. Oren Moore. ENDORSES MR. J. A. NEWELL. THE "PARTY OF PROMISE." In his special message to congress this week, President Roosevelt de clared that, "The time has come when we should prepare for a re vision of the tariff." When Theodore Roosevelt assumed position as chief executive, he expressed his determi nation to carry out the policies of the late Preside; t McKinley, tariff revision being on ; of the most im portant. Almost eight years have been con sumed by Mr. Roosevelt in the White House, and now, as has been the case in every post-election-campaign. "The time has come" again "when the tariff should be revised." For eleven years the republican party has controlled both branches of congress and the executive depart ment. For eleven years the people have been told that the tariff "should be revised." Nothing has been done; nothing will be done, notwithstanding the president's ardent recommendations, made now on the eve of an elestion. And still, in aplte of these facts, some are so purblind as to be taken in by this bait which has been held out by the "Party of Promise" for eleven years past. THE PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE. We take the following from the es teemed Columbia State: "This from the Charlotte (N. C.) News: "We greatly fear The News and Courier is getting real cross be cause South Carolina voted for Bryan,' observes the, Columbia State.

Crab Orchard and Mallard Creek townships are demanding that the northern section of the county be given representation on the board of county commissioners, and an en dorsement for this position is being signed for Mr. J. A. Newell, of Crab Orchard. The endorsement has already been signed by one hundred and fifteen voters of the northeastern section of the county, and reads a3 follows: "As the northeastern part of the county is entitled to one county com missioner, his many friends in Crab Orchard and Mallard Creek town ships most earnestly appeal to the voters of Mecklenburg to join them in the coming primary to elect J. A. Newell as one of our next county commissioners, a man who is quali fied, a man who is consistent and most centrally located to represent the people from the northeastern part of the county. lie lives about two miles from the county home, and farm, and is a man widely known.

In view of the official consideration being given by the city of certain proposed changes to be made in the East Trade street crossing, we, the undersigned property owners and res idents of East Trade street, East avenue and vicinity, beg to enter vig orous protest against further consid eration of any change whatever from existing conditions for the following reasons: First: Because the city is in no fi nancial condition to undertake this work; the mayor and finance commit tee in a recent statement show that the income of -the city is insufficient to meet its expenses and fixed charges, and therefore bonds would have to be issued to pay the city's pro rata share of this expense. Second: Because serious injury to property and losses to business, prob ably involving the city in serious and costly litigation, besides great incon venience and discomfort to the pub lic. Third : Because it is unnecessary at this time, seeing that every objection to present conditions could be rem edied by proper and strict regulations on the part of the city as to the serv ice of gates and gatemen at this cross ing. .1.

TO INCREASE CAPITAL STOCK Charlotte Hardware Co. Leases Larger Building and Increases Stock. At a recent meeting of the stockhold ers of the Charlotte Hardware Com pany it, was decided to increase the capital stock to possibly $1 2",()00 for the purpose of enlarging the business. For this purpose, the company has leased the building of the Allen Hard ware Company, the stock of which is to be moved to Norfolk, and will, bo sides carrying one of the finest lines of hardware for retail in the state, add also a largo wholesale department. A story in the rear will be added to the Allen building, making this four stories for the entire lengih, counting the basement. The present building and the first floor of the Allen building will be de voted to the retail trade and to the retail offices. The wholesale depart ment will be on the other floors. These stores will be remodeled and handsome fixtures installed. An elec tric elevator will be put in connecting the various floors. The company, in addition to a well assorted line of hardware, will carry a magnificent line of sporting goods, such as guns, pistols, baseball and tennis supplies, and other goods "of a like nature. The Charlotte Hardware Company has been under the present manage ment about IS months, when it was purchased from J. E. and It. C. Carson, and this enlargement is one evidence of its prosperity and increasing busi ness. The officers of the company are: Messrs. J. C. HcNeely, president; Rob ert L. Erwin, vice president; Robert Glasgow, treasurer; J- S. Neely, sec retary. The stockholders, besides the officers are: eMssrs. J. II. Wearn, W. II. Belk, J. H. McAden, W. C. Wil kinson, R. A. Dunn and E. G. Coch rane. The present capital of the concern is $50,000, and this will be possibly in creased to $100,000 or $125,000. GLASCOW SCOOL CLOSES. Grade Crossing is Objectionable. Editor The News: All progressive cities are avoiding the dangerous grade crossing, the pub lic and city authorities demanding it, but here in our own city we have the unusual situation f property-holders objecting to an improvement absolute ly demanded by public safety. It is un fortunate and hazardous that all the car lines out of Charlotte :re over grade crossings. As a property-holder east of the East Trade street cross ing, I endorse any movement for the riddance of the present East Trade street grade crossing nuisance. It has been, and always will be, objection able, and any property-holder on that side of the city opposing such improve ment, I think is against his own inter ests. After the evil has been properly remedied, I believe none of the pres ent objectors would be willing to go back to the old grade crossing. This improvement will surely be made soon er or later. It may require a fright ful accident to bring some of us to see the necessity of it, but why not profit by the experience of other cities, making the change now and saving ourselves and regrets. C.

Moore, of Charlotte, who has done so much for the farmers of the state and the general work of agricul ture, aspires to the office of comms sioner of agriculture of the state. Knowing him so well, it is to be con ceded that the farmers of the state will be glad to see so efficient a man as he secure the place and that the party will thus honor him. Stanley Enterprise. Mr. Eugene Cannon, of Concord, was in the city today. Mr. Mills. Of the brilliant lecturer, Mr. Enos A. Mills, who is to speak in Assembly Hall of the Selwyn on Thursday, April 2, the Mineapolis Journal says: "Mr. Mill's close communion with nature has given him a simple earnest manner that is as direct as his own forests. His talk was full of intense love of nature and had a poetic fancy that had much charm." It takes a wise man to realize his own folly. 5 Investment Thorough investigation invited of Common Stock of a well known, estab lished local concern, which solicits shareholders of $500 to $1000 each.
