Editor Entered at the Pottollice a second ci&st matter. HE BU8INE88 INTERE8T& Some people will gay that questions dealing with issues that are essenti mlly moral should be decided purely m the ground of morality. They will bold that the business element should not enter into the solution. However, as matters stand today, jrrcat social questions, although they 4aal with moral issues are decided by large number of neople, from a pure 1y business standpoint. They ask, how will it effect my business? What 1a there in it for me? In other words there is a streak of selfishness running through all hu manity ; in some people it is fully de veloped, In others It is held in con trol, while in others it i9 scarcely per ceptible. The liquor question is one that is subjected to this kind of treatment. A rery large number of people wan; to know how the management of the traf fic will affect business. Kor our part we believe that the moral interests f a community and the business interests thereof are for the most part Intertwined. That condl tion which is really best for the people Is in the long run the mott conducive to their prosperity and industrial prog ress. To the end that our people may judge of the effects of absolute probi feilioj upon the material interests of a prohibition community, we print Another place a letter from Mr. W. It dell, a large manufacturer of Con word, to Rev. F. D. Swindell, of Golds boro. The letter is similar to Mr. Mar hall's. Itiet nli.ht to investigate the report. I was ascertained that already eleven negroes bad registered. 'Did you register a negro by th name of John foef ' Mr. bcott was 'fdid," he replied. "Did you examine him to ascertain if he could read the constitution of the State?" he was asked. "I did not," said Mr. Scott. "He read something in a newspaper and I registered him." ''Did you register a negro by the name of George High?" he was asked. "l did," said Mr. Scott. "Can he read and write?" "I don't know," was the reply. "I did not examine him." "Do you examine all those who can not register under the grandfather clause to see if they can read the con stitution as the law requires?" "I do not. I have never seen the constitution of the State, and I have never examined anybody about it. I just asked the negroes if they could read and write. If they said 'yes,' I administered the oath to them and put them on the registration books." This is a laxness unworthy a public officer and cannot be too greatly dep ricated where so much is at stake as in the case of our suffrage. ALAoKAN BOUNDARY LINE. Lord Alveratoae, What la Prealdeat of Ihv Jolat Coaaaalaaloa. Lord Alverstone. who has been chos en president of the commission Jointly appointed by Great Britain and the United States to arbitrate the Alaskan boundary dispute, has been lord chief justice of England since 1900, when be succeeded Ird Kussell. , ; Trior to his elevation to the peerage Lord Alverstone was Sir-Richard K erurd Webster, baronet and queeu's counsel. The latter rank 'In the higher branch of the law- he- attained at the age of thirty-six, which Is said to be the record for this distinction. When Lord Salisbury formed his first administra tion in 1S85 Lord Alverstone was ap pointed attorney general, holding that office, when bis party was in power, until made lord chief justice. The Alasknn boundary commission consists of Secretary of War Ellhu Itoot, Senator Iodge and Senator Tur ner for the united states and Lord Alverstone. Professor Sir Loals Jette, Ghe youngster's Question About Lattrl FOUR KINGS. "BROWN ON COTTON. Our Adams' School House oorres poqdent asks "where is Brown on cot ton?" The question ia a very proper one, "Under Brown's manipulations it aeenjed that cotton would go to fifteen eents, and many people over the coun try, aome newspapers among the rest, -whooped It up for Mr. Brown and pro claimed him a benefactor to the tanner in that Be stood for high pri ea for cotton. now cotton has settled down to a omewbat lower figure, about 10 cents, and Mr. Brown, so far as the public fs concerned has "gone way back and at down." It will not do to tie to Brown, Jones, Smith or any other man who comes in to prominence by a manipulation of the market. When men get together aod force prices up beyond the point rhere God Almighty we say it rever entlyplaces them through the work ing of His natural laws, the other fel--low and not the farmer is apt to re ceive the benefit in the long run. Artificial prices are not to be relied npon. But when the seasons, the cli mate, demand and supply and other natural conditions conspire together to raise prices, then you have a support that people can rely on. Put not your trust in Wall street inipulators. NO LOWERING OF THE BARS. There should be no lowering of the legal requirements in regard to regis tration and voting. It matters not what the subject of the election be, one cast iron rule should govern all. The rule Is contained in the follow ing extract from section 12, chap. 89, Uwi of 1901: 4 ' Every person presenting himself for a-cgitttraitoo snail oe aoie to read ana write any section of the constitution in the English language, and shall show to the satisfaction of the registrar his Ability to read and write ny such sec tion when he applies for registration mad before he is registered. This an- tHe only to those voters who cannot vetrtster under the grandfather clause. No educational test can be received of i tawm. , . , Those negroes who can comply with the above quoted constitutional re- . qolrement can, of course vote, and their ballots will count for as much as that deposited by any other voter.
