C in last week's Headlight, suggests a call for a meeting of the dis satisfied of Richmond county. Of course we could Dot even guess who "E. Pluribus' is, aiid after diligent inquiry we have been unable to locate a White Plains in this county. We have no insight, either, into the political affiliations of Mr. E. P U., but there was one feature of his suggestion which may be significant. He was particular ly anxious that such meeting should be held "not later than the middle of September.' We cannot imagine why E. P. U. should be in such a hurry about it unless it be that he wants to get'the slate fixed up in time to "fuse" with the Radicals, who meet in adjourned session on the 19th of September to fix up their, ticket.

By common consent the trust question is recognized as the great problem with which our gorernraent has to deal. From the President on down it furnishes tb leading question in all political speeches. It is recognized as a question of such magnitude that no one seems to offer a complete remedy. But while Some time last December, ourgradually reduced to a reenue the President and his party men generally talk vaguely of ton milling business." townsman, M. William Entwis tle, published in the Anglo-Saxon a reply to the views of Senator Mcl2ujrjd in his advocacy of pro tectfSttor the benefit of Southern cotton mills. Mr. Entwistle is a close student of ' economic prob Iems, and particularly as they re late to 'the cotton mill business, and his article attracted a great deal of attention: He argued forcibly that we have passed the point where protection can help the cotton mills, and that -the greatest hindrance we now have in building new mills aad enter ing into competition in foreign markets is the tariff tax on cotton mill machinery and supplies, .which makes it cost twice as much to build and equip a mill in this country as it does ia the -country of our chief competitor Europe. He had a request a few days ago from a State official for a copy of this article, and for answer to other questions, which we are per mittedto copy as.follows: Dear Sir: Yours of the jrd inst to hand and noted.

Also, in addition, there is necessarily a cumulative per cent., augmenting with each successive transaction from importer to consumer, which could be called the Don't Do TJnt For Nott. Many yonng people form habits which cripple and handicap them for life by doingthins?s "just for now." They let things drop wherever they happen to be "just for uow," thinking that they will put the book,, the tool, the letter or the article of clothing lat er where It blongs. When these young people grow up to manhood and wom anhood, they find that the habit of putting things down, anywhere "just for now" has become a tyrant that fills their lives with confusion and disor der. It takes no more time or effort to put a thing where It belongs In the first place than it does .later, perhaps less, and the chances are that If you do not do so at the proper time you never will. Even If It costs you a lit-' tie Inconvenience at the moment to put everything In Its proper place, to do everything at the proper time, the orderly and methodical habits which you cultivate in this way will Increase your power and usefulness a hundred fold and may save you much trouble and mortiflcatloa in the future. Suc cess. . . Only Four Counties in Which it has Taken Hold, Says Simmons, and Due to Local Causes There Democrats will Carry Every Dt'sfrict and In' crease Majority in Legislature. State Chairman Simmons has a more accurate knowledge of politic cal conditionn in the Stale than any other man in it, and the people have learned that bis estimates of results always work out about as he predicts. He is quoted by the Raleigh correspondent of the Charlotte Observer as follows: Democratic State Chairman Sim mons tells your correspondent that be is particularly pleased at the political outlook in the State and regards the party as now stronger than.ever before. He says there is no independent movement so far as be is aware, except in four counties and in each case the dissatisfaction is due to local causes entirely. He says there 11 no general movement, no movement with a head. He regards ex-Congressman John VV. Atwater as an emissary, going about seeking to develop and foster any independent movement or meetings or demonstration- Chair man Simmons says he is informed that in a western county a Re publican of high position went to a Democrat "who failed to get nomi nated and who be thought was dis satisfied . ajad assured him it he would rnn as an independent all bis expenses would be paid. Chairman Simmons t-ays he has no idea that the Republicans will carry a single congressional district. All the statements or hints that they will carry the tenth he chara cterizes as absurd. He is also con fident that theie will be even fewer Republican members of the Legis lature then there were at the last I term. Officers and Their Power. Editor Anglo-Saxon : The recent unfortunate occurrence at Hamlet is a demonstration of the fact that public sentiment is f.t growing in sympathy with f unlives -nstead of the officers who are expected to capture them Almost daily crimes are , being committed and there seerjQs to be tnore fugittves and desperate men at large today than has ever 'ben f known, and, the Governors of States are offering rewards for them as a means of bringing them to justice. Now who are expected to capture them? It is the officers of the country who capture them. The records will show that 90 per cent, of the des perate men are captured by officers and it is only the officers who are skilled and use strategny who can be successful - at this work. But there seems to be an obstacle presenting itself in the way of the officers in this work, aid it is yet to be seen and proven whether it (will be removed or not.

To prevent birds from flying with out the barbarous and injurious sys tem sometimes practiced of cutting their wings it will be found sufficient to tie together with a thread three or four of the largest feathers of one wing.
