THE MONROE JOURNAL R. G. BEASLEY. I KEASLEY, ( rrLisHiit. TucsJar. October 24, 1905. la Behalf of the Clerk. The Journal has been asked to sav a word in behalf of the clerks of Mon roe. The gentleman who makes the request is not himself a clerk, lie call attention to the marked increase in living exeiises, hich, iu the iut few year ha certainly amounted to thirty-three and a third per cent That this is true we all know. The salarie of persons employed in the mercantile establishments here have not increased much, if any. during the time, this gentleman states. As a general pnposilion, salaries rise very slo ly. The effect of increased price is felt immediately by farm ers and merchant. Wages of day laborers have been much advanced. While all other occupations have felt the wannt h of prosperity, if tlie clerks have been left out they probably feel like protesting. But the gentle man quoted, goes on to say that they have not protested, that they have gone on faithfully doing their work and struggling harder and harder each year to make both ends meet on salaries that every year grow less on account of the increase of rents, gro ceries, wood, clothing, and all other necessary excuses. Quoting further the idea of the man whose remarks w e are repeating' The merchants are erfect!iig a just and necessary organization for their mutual interests. Probably the ques tion of salaries has not been present ed; in his words, "They have not thought about this." None of them seem to be making more money than is a just reward for the labor and capital expended, probably some of them not so much. While the ques tion of salary is wholly one between employer and employee, it would not be out of place for the merchants to consider a general advance, which, of course, would not effect relative merit, but be an advance as a gen eral policy. Hut, as stated above, if the mercantile interests of the town are not making more than they rea sonably should, and this certainly is the case, then a general increase in salary woum mean an additional ex pense which the public would be called npontobcar.of eouise, in pay ing a little more for its goods. Cer tainly there would le no objection U mis, as tne increase would tie so slight as to be imperceptible to the trading public. This paper, nor any other sensible individual, would presume to tell a merchant or anybody else that he was paying his employees too little. If it were to do so a just reward for its temerity would be an admonition to attend to its own business. Hut it is perfectly legitimate to say, as does the gent'ernan whom we are quoting, that as a class of faithful workers in the life of the community, the clerks do not receive enough pay, and that the merchants should take the matter into consideration. He is Bure, as we are, that they are perfect ly willing to reward faithful worth to the extent of their ability, and that the public would look with favor upon any movement toward this end that they might inaugurate. This is the only spirit in which the words have been spoken. A story that comes from the Daily Ind ustrial News of ( ! reensboro makes right interesting reading from the iaet mat n nrsi gives newspaper publicity to a rumor that has been current for sometime. It is that both ex-Governor Avcock and Chief Justice Walter Clark will oppose Senator Simmons next vear, each trying to carry off the prize for him sen, anu mat uovernor uienn is trimming his sails for a try at Sena tor Overman's seat in l'.IOt). If these predictions are true its going to be a heap of trouble for some of the boys to decide which horse to lay the stakes on, for they are all "good men you know.'1 Mr. Roosevelt talked all through his Southern trip in a way that suit ed the people, but in it all there was not a suggestion of demagngucry or grand stand play. On its face it was sincere, and so received. He said little about the negro question and what he did say was that the colored people needed to concern themselves more now about their duties than about their rights. One thing that was also pleasing was his hearty ap proval of the Southern Cotton Asso ciation and his statement that if he could be of any service be would be pleased thereby. The damaging frost in this section is reported to have been general in the northern and eastern section of the cotton belt. On the strength of the report the market lifted about twenty-five points. It is now in or der for Mr. Price to explain in what way frost is certain to increase the number of bales. lie has explained much harder things than this, and the strangest thing about it is that so many people take him seriously. President Roosevelt in the State and the South. Continued from Page I. the right of any man here to feel a greater pride in the deeds of eerv Southerner than I feeL llf the chil dren, the brothers and sister of my mother who were burn and brought up in that house on the hill there. my two uncle awmard entered the Confederate service and served in the Confederate navy. One, the younger man, served on the Alabama a the youngest onioer aboard her. lie was captain of one of her broad- aide 32-pounder in her tinal tight, and when at the very end the Ala bama was sinking and the Kearsarge passed under her stern and came up along the side that had not been en gaged hitherto, my uncle, Irving Bulloch, shifted hi gun from cue side to the other and tired the two last shot fired from the Alabama James Punwoodv Bulloch was an ad miral in the Confederate service. Of all the people w hom 1 have ever met he was the one that came nearest to that beautiful creation of Thackerv, Colonel Xewcome. Men and women. J. 'li t you think that I have the ances tral right to claim a proud kinship with those who showed their devo tion to duty as they saw the duty? Whether they wore the gray or w heth er they wore the blue, all Americans who are worthy the name feel an equal pride in the valor of those w ho fought on one side or the other, pro vided only that each did w ith all his might and soul and mind his duty as it was given him to see his duty." The President next was driven to the old Presbyterian church in which his grandfather, James Bulloch, was once a leading member. Mr. Bulloch dropped dead in this church while teaching a Sunday school class in 1 and among those present in the church today were three members of that class who were present at the time. The venerable pastor of the church. Rev. Dr. W. K. Baker, offered prayer and the President and Mrs. Roose velt then shook hands with a number of the towii$teople, many of whom had known the President's mother On the way to the tram the President stopped for a moment at the home of Dr. Baker, where he met the pastor's wife, who was one of his mother's bridesmaids. The escort, which conducted the President from his train to the dif ferent points he visited, was W arren K. Cpvkett, who was a member of Colonel Roosevelt's regiment during the Spanish war. The reception of the President at the old home of his mother was a I conuai one. i ne leopie greeted turn both as President and as the son of one of their neighbors. Many were the kind references to his mother from those who knew her, and many were the expressions of good w ill to ward her distinguished son. The train left for Atlanta shortlv before 10 o'clock.

The infant of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Austin, which was so badly burned a little more than a week ago, is im proving now. It was thought at first that it could not recover, but its con dition is much more hopeful now. How is your grade on examina tion?" is the question among the stu dents of the Wingate School now. They have just passed this dreaded week. Misses Cora and Una Gardner of Charlotte and Miss Willie Redfearn and her sister of White Store are here to enter school at the beginning of this quarter, Mr. C. O.

There will be a public debate here next Friday night by representatives of the Gladstone and Philosophian literary societies. The Russo-Japanese peace treaty will be discussed. A large crowd is expected to be present. J. Resolutions of Appreciation. Inasmuch as Miss Mary K. Walsh has been a valuable member of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of Central Methodist church since its organization, and our beloved presi dent for years, and as she has moved from our midst to another town, out of love and gratitude for her efficient work and wise leadership, we would like to give an expression of our ap preciation. The missionary cause lay so near her heart that lovo for the work, combined with her splendid intellect, soon made her a wise and consecrated leader. Our society will miss her inexpressably, and while we give a most reluctant farewell, shall ever be in a favorable attitude to welcome her back. Mas. W. C. Heath, Mas. R. B. Rbdwinb, Mrs. J. E.

T IW CwUua i.roc i I' im t'"l j : Your attention is called to the fact that there will be a meeting if the I'ntoo e-unty branch of the Southern Cotton Grower" A aviation Satur day, O-tobrr 2ta, at 12 o'clock, at the court house in Monroe, pjj you catch the date and the place? if not. go back and read again -rtud it un til it is well hied in your mind Having done this much, now consid er the question as lo whether or not you would like to enjoy the imilege of saying what the pr.nl act of your own labor, your own prosily, is worth. If you divide that you would, then come along U the meeting Sat urday. If you divide that you would not, then let it be known by staying away. But. now listen, 1 want you to catch this: if you don't want the privilege to price your on product your cotton which of the two great powers now contending for the mastery will you cluse to do it for you? The Southern Cotton Associa tion says hold your cotton and re ceive from $3 to if 10 a bale more for it Theodore Price and the llng lish spiuners say. throw it on the market and we will make from j to $20 on each Kile. hose advice are you Liking? Whose will you take? Know this, that every tune you put a bale of cotton on the market for less than 11 cents the minimum price fixed by the Southern Cotton Association', you weaken the cause of the Southern farmer and push far ther away the prestige for which the South is contending. If you are in debt and your credi tor is needing his money and you are selling to pay your debts, all honor to you. But shame iion the man w ho is able to hold his cotton and who is so indifferent as to hiscountry's wel ware who throws Ins cotton upon a depressed market, and thereby thwarts the very purposes that his country is seeking to accomplish. But wl at docs all this mean, all this stir throughout the cotton l!tv It means that there is going to W a revolution in the marketing of cot ton; it means that the Suth has awakened from her Kip Van Winkle sleep and put the world on notice that she is irmg to walk into her rights. Though she does it with the knowledge that she will have to con tend for every inch of the groiim that she will lie opposed by the men. the sections, and the eoiintites that have fattened and grown rich of! the products of the toil and labor of her sons. Fanners of I'nion, wake up, come to the meeting Saturday and let us divide once for ail that we will lie loval to the puriKist-sof the Southern Cotton Assn iatioii, that we will gt to work and equip ourselves with shoes and rations for a long cam paign against the enemies of South ern prosperity.
