"I, per- iluips, can most truly testify to his grand treatment of the Confederate soldier, especially the wounded. The wounded .soldiers of 'North Car olina will (remember the . convention of wounded soldiers that was held in :the city of Rak'lgh some twelve years ago. It was tlbrough .this meeting of the wounded soldiers that the tlhen pittance of a pension was greatly in creased. This , movement was Con ceived hy the writer of this article, but carried to success by the patriotic men and women of North Carolina. Mr. A. B. -Stronach came forward with his means and influence and greatly through, his efforts the mesisure was passed. Now, my comrades, let is show our appreciation of comrade Stronacfli'-s ef forts in giving hLm the position of Auditor of North. Carolina. See to it that your delegates are men that will vote for Mr. Stronach. This is written without his knowledge or solicitation, but I understood tliat Sir. Stmnach was a candidate, and. I felt' that my comrades, if they knew it, would gladly -oie for him if tihey can get the chance, and I ihope, Mr. Editor, you will aid us to give publicity to the matter. Respectfullyv E. F. FENT0N. l: (Baltimore, iMarclh 15. SpeCi&I In whatevier direction one unay turn in the South ihe ds likely to find manifes tations of a spirit of optimlisim (resting upon a substantial' foundation. ThrouigTi the iPiedmont section new cotton mills are rising here and there and estabirsheJd ones are preparing to enlarge irheir operations, while mill building enterprises are likewise ad vancing through, the MissUssippi Val ley into Texas as a. prospect for a larger and larger demand tin the East for Southern made gootls widens. The past week (has 'been noralMe for an nouncements of this kiind. In th:e Manufacturers .Recoird are noted the determii nation 'to erect a $600,000 plant of 25,000 spindles and 750 looms for the production of print cloth at lAiken, S. C., plans for a $400,000 mill near Oohraiibus, Ga., with 20,000 spindles and a proportionate number of looms as n addition to the enterprises of the Bibb Manufacturing Company, of Ma con, Ga., for a $100,000 mill at Golds- boro, N. C, for a $20,000 knlittinjg mil at Valdosta, Ga., the organization of the Yazoo Cotton iMill at Yazoo City, Miss., of a $100,000 cotton company at Itasca, Tex., and $100,000 miil.l at (Harriman, Tenn. The F. W. Toe Man ufacturing Company of GreenTille, 6. C, ihas decideld to spend nearly $500, 000 in additions to its plant, while the capital stock has been subscribed for a $100,000 plant at Corsicana, Tex. -Side 'by side with plans for .the full development of the iron resources of Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia are those for the exten sion and liimprovement of the railroads really confined to no one section of the South. The lumber interests from the Carolinas to Texas are in a flour ishing condition, while the healthy tone everv where is reinforced 'by ac tivities in the oil fields, the phosphate nitlnes and other Industries which sup ply t!he material for manufactures. The persistent strength of the cotton market, which at present seems des tined to be maintained at least until the movement of the next crop is well under way, is in itself a pronilise of vigor for several months an many lines of trade in the South. Growing out of . this strength Is a tendency on the part of some cotton growero to consider favorably plans for sellling in advance the crop which they expect to raise this season. This tendency (lias assumed one or two forms. Keg-anUng the proposition that Southern farmers should sell on a iba sis of ;New York futures iforSeptem ber and .October delivery their crops of cotton not yet planted, Ool. A. JB. Shepperson of !New York writes in this week's Manufacturers' Record as follows: -"No ifarmer could sell his crop on the basis of prices for September and October delivery" unless he agreed to deliver it during those months, die eouDd deliver only a small proportion of .his crop iby tha ttiime as pickling usually goes on until iDecember and sometimes nrach later. He could sell with safety for delivery in November and 'December and New York futures for these months are nearly half a cent lower than for September deliv ery. The present price for November delivery would leave the farmer, af ter paying freight, commissions and other charges, a'bout seven cents per pound far middling cotton. This should not ibe regarded a Tery tempt ing price, .since it has been exceeded during every calendar year with only one exception siiuce 1S20. 'Sihould the farmer sell now for next fall or winter and prices before then should advance for any reason.

RISE ABOVE PARTISANSHIP would hare to make a deposit of money equal to the advance and the raising of this money might prove in convenient an!d expensie. Hf . the farmers should .sell more than his crop turned out to he, he would then have to buy of his neighbors to make up the quantity: In the event of higher prices ruling at that time than he had sold at, he might thus suffer a, consid erable loss, besides haiving to part wlith all of his own crop at a lower price than his neighbors were recellv- ing. .If, from the condition Of his crop late in the summer, the farm-ex- should feel treasonably confident of making 200 bales of cotton it would -be wise, perhaps, to sell 100 bales for 'Novem ber or December delivery against his crop if the price was satisfactory.

Editor of The Post: If the Demo cratic party will now show a magna nimous spirit and prove itself loyal to the best interests of the public schools of North Carolina, by nomi nating Chas. H. Mebane for Superin tendent of 'Public Instimdtion, irre spective of past party affiliations, it will add another star to the glittering crown of go'od government, which adorns i'ts brow. Politics in North. Carolina has reach ed .that stage where it has become absolutely necessary for the public schools to he separated from politics and exalted above politics until they will never be dominated by. poliitics againr : The public schools olf "North Caro lina are too important and their in terests too vital to be made spoils for political mercenaries to prey upon. The public schools Hiave suffered more from the hlightimg influences of partisan politics than anj-(thing else. It as time for the schools Ito be nur tured and protected by the magna nimous charity of common brother hood, and their affairs to be directed by competent men above poiifteeal af filiations. Prof. C. H. "Mebane. has shown him self ftp he well fitited for the place in every" respect, arid especially in his loyalty to the public schools over par tisan' politics. He !bas stood at the head , of the public isehiools and has directed their affairs, unbiased through one of North Caroltna'si imiost turbulent and corrupt periods of partisans politics. Under Prof. Me- bane's able management the public schools haTe taken on new life and haveonade sttch progress as they have not made in years before. To make so great a change in the management of our school affairs as tlrat of changing' the superinitendents, would be a serious setback to the schools, however competent the new superintendent might be, and as Prof. Mebane has shown himself competent in every respect, it lis to be hoped that notlilug biased or partisan will actuate the minds-and hearts of those who se lect a man for Superintendenit of Pub lic Instruction to be our Democratic nominee in this campaign.

In Olden Times when a boy had the croup, his mother used to reach up to the shelf over the fireplace and get the familiar black bottle, filled with the nauseous compound that the cross-roads druggist sold a a panacea for all illls of the flesh; when his twelve-year-old sis ter had the measles, the same old black bottle was -brought into use; and when the old lady herself was touched with the "rheu matiz," the aid of the same familiar cure-aJl was invoked. Some, times the cure-all cured sometimes it didn't; but it wae handy and it was cheap, and so people kept on using it, and the men wha made it got rich and went abroad every summer.

To overcame this majority and to place, that grand old county on the white list was the lalbor that the Pub lic 'Ledger applied itself to; and at the expense of actual iboyeotts, and threats of personal vliolenice and every eon ceivable meanness, the megr forces were marshaled to fight this Demo cratiic orga n and its editor all to poor effect, except the cutting off from the subscription list of the (Public -.Ledger some 300 (subscribers iWlithin a few months.
