Appearances are often deceptive. Ev- , 1 i iry man who acts crazy is not Insane. I What difference does it make if Mc- iCall is I speechless? Doesn't his money I r f i talk for him? ' :. i When you think things are (doomed it I I ' i . : i i Is not always safe; to; "take something" to cheer up, for then thoughts of doom reality. , ' : ! 1 1 I " f ' are The argument that there are no "wo men angels" has gone on long enough. j.nd it' is time to compromise on the fact i that lots of women are angels. The papers almost without exception are saving pleasant things- about the new 'daily newspaper the Daily in dustrial News published at Greens boro. What a fortunate thing it Is that men are not permitted to see far into the future! An Immediate bond issue for more room in the asylums would be Imperative. The meat packers claim that they have been losing money. Well, so have the consumers, and altogether, it looks like there might be bad . man agement somewhere. It helps along sometimes, to believe that every dark and, fierce looking cloud has a silver lining, whether it is true or not, and it Is often a question whether It were worth while to find out. A man lectured the other day in Georgia on the remarkable subject: Eighty Years in Shed." That is a little better than a million, but some men, have earthly experiences which convince them that one day is too much. . Six years Is a long time to have in which to study over a problem, but Greene and Gaynor, ; now occupying prison cells, can doubtless come to a definite conclusion better in six weeks than they could in the six years they have been fugitives at large. The Lexington North State (Republl san) says: "The grand Jury of Wake county haa returned a true bill for murder against the persons who so maltreated an In mate of the insane asylum as to cause his death. It was a disgraceful affair. Local Democratic papers refuse to mention the matter simply because it refleets discredit on the present state administration. But the people will e flnd these matters out and will bring those in authority to justice." Just what the North State means by "lo cal Democratic pipers" is not clear from the foregoing. v SULLY'S ADVltfE TO FARMERS . The famous cotton bull, Daniel J. Sully of New York, spoke before a large meeting of farmers fn Metropoll tal Hall yesterday. Mr. Sully is not a orator and makes no pretensions in that direction. He is well posted in matters pertaining to cotton produc tion, marketlns and manufacturing. Hisv speech yesterday was 'short and very pointed. What he said may be summed up in a few words: "Hold your cottoi; you can control the situation and control prices if you will; the European fed eration of spinners will grind you down to the lowest price at which you will sell. Don't let them rob you." Mr. Sully's remarks are quoted fully in another part of The Post this morn ing. Coming as it does, from a man of the reputation of Mr. Sully, his ad vice will help to strengthen the de termination of the farmers to hold their cotton for a fair price, With the exception of the knowledge he has gained by experience there is little in the advice he gives that has not been given many times in the editorial, col umns of this "paper. Our advice has been to hold cotton, watch the mark- i ets and dispose of the staple Judicious ly. The cotton farmers of the south, where eighty per cent, of the world's supply is produced, can control the situation absolutely, with thorough organization, such as has for the past year or. two been going on. The farmers are wide awake now and constantly on the alert. All that is needed is to keep it up, for them to know and control their affairs like the bears know and control theirs. We have often said that the interests of the producer and manufacturer are mutual, in that it is best for both for the price to be fixed and stable. Wide fluctuations in money values, of any commodity are dangerous to any bus iness enterprise handling that commo dity, and there is ho industry perhaps in whicli this is nearer the Jruth than in the cotton industry. LOOKING TO THE PRESIDENT Thoughtful men, men- who are look ing ahead for the future good of this southland, have long felt a keen in terest In the Appalachian forest reser vation proposition. No question that has been before the public in a half century Is of more importance than this, in spite of the fact that so many have regarded it as largely a senti mental cry to save the forests on ac count of their beauty. Men who have studied the situation see in the pre servation of our mountain forests, not only the preservation and perpetua tion of much that Is grand and beau tiful to the vision, but still more that is of paramount importance to the in dustrial, progress and welfare of "a great region of country. It will mean the preservation and security of mil lions of horse-power along streams that have their source in the mountains. Strip the mountains and the great foot-hills of ,their " magnificent forests and In another half century many streams that now offer most splendid opportunities for the development of unparalleled water power, would be robbed of their protection and reduced in practical value to almost nothing. The southern senators and congress men should unite in an effort to get some definite and positive action by congress on this important question. With a united force from that part of the country most vitally interested, suf ficient aid can be procured from the other parts of the nation to secure the relief needed. President Roosevelt will be in Ral eigh next week, and it is hoped that he will take occasion in his speech here to say a word of encouragement to the people about this matter. His views are known, he is' in favor of the movement for a forest reservation along the Appalachian range, our peo ple need the encouragement he can give. Let him Include this item in what he will have to say to us next week, and that alone will be a great public service, and worth the trip if he should talk of no other vital subject. ABOUT REBATES AND REGULATION In his letter of advice and approval to President Roosevelt, Colonel Bryan took occasion to call attention to the necessity of railroad legislation. He said: "Pass over the railrna nn.M.. tives and appeal to the people. Compel the opponents of railroad legislation to meet the issues in the open. There is no logical or even plausible argument against the legislation which you rec ommend. Extortion in rates, unfair ness, discrimination against persons, discrimination against places, midnight tariff and rebates galore all of these Iniquities have resulted from lack of regulation. ( They are intolerable and must, be stopped. Will you use the great influence of your office to secure the regulation now or . will you leave the honor to a successor?" The colonel's words are forceful, but he has evidently neglected to read the Interstate Commerce Commission's ; opinion of the Elkins amendment to the I Interstate commerce law. j The commission seems to feel that THE "MOBHlSB the Elkins amendment has considerable force. In discussing the allowance to " . , 'm . 'm , ,1 m terminal and Industrial railroads, the commission says in Its last report: "This act to regulate commerce pro- hlbita a differenoe in charges as be- tween shippers by any special rate. - . . rebate, drawback or other device,' ana the granting of any undue preference to any Individual or species of traffic 'in any respect whatever,' and the El kins amendment, requiring the publi cation of tariffs in all cases, prohibits under severe penalty any practice on the part -of the carrier 'whereby any such property- shall by any device whatever be transported at a less rate than that named in the tariffs, or whereby any other advantage is given or discrimination is practiced.' The manifest intention of the act to regulate commerce, especially as ex pressed in the Elkins amendment, is to strike, through all pretense, all In- genious device, to the substance of the transaction itself; and where excessive divisions of rates are granted by a carrier to another carrier owned and controlled by a shipper, for the purpose of obtaining the traffic of that shipper, they benefit the shipper and operate as a rebate or other device to cut the tariff charge in violation of the law' "CUSSEDNESS" BOTH WAYS The Wilkesbora! Chronicle speaks thusly of the prospect of an election on the whiskey question in Raleigh: 1 "Under the decision of Judge Justice, Raleigh Is to have the inspiring and elevating pleasure of going through with the bitterness of another whiskey election. It is a fight between open barrooms and fatherly dispensary. Judge Justice's decision is in accord-j ance with the law, but these electlon.3 on the liquor question so often are nauseating spectacles. But let them go it. It is monopoly cusrsdness against individual cussedness. Take your ; choice." Under the question as pre sented there is no choice for a consist ent temperance man to take. What are you going to do about that? , The Greensboro Daily Industrial News yesterday printed this para graph: "The condition of Greensboro's streets bears eloquent testimony In sup port of the theory that this' is a dry town." Of course we know what Brother Douglas means, but he ought to be careful in making such state ments, as the streets are ragged in Greensboro, and somebody is liable to accuse the News of being in favor of barrooms or a dispensary for the pur pose or raising more money to spend on the streets. ' ' tm A woman school turner ir, nviaAm, can speak twelve different languages. She ought to be able to say something sensible in some of them. Profeaso Craven's Article Approved Editor Morning Post: I desire to express my hearty and sincere approval of the article by Prof. Bruce Craven Vast Breeding Ground for Infidelity and Agnosticism pub lished in your paper of last Sunday morning. It has been to me a source of much wonder and surprise whv Professor Craven's statements are true, but he has doubtless justly arraigned nearly, if not all. our educational institutions. And, too, if. Intellectual training is necessary, why is not moral and spirit ual training Just as necessary? And if so, why are they not required to be carried on together? By improper training, or a total lack, of proper moral training, our con-; sciences and refined sensibilities be- come more or less smothered or blunt ed; but, nevertheless, a "polite society" young gentleman or a young college professor, if you please will very prop- erly refrain from profane swearing or the taking of God's name in vain in the presence of ladles, while in the pres ence of his young men friends and as socites he makes no apology or excuse for this great sin. Is not that within itself overwhelmingly conclusive evi dence that that sin Is wrong and in- excusable? And I cite only this one as ah illustration'. Has the proper and true and real use and teaching of pure "Bible doc trines" not "doctrinal creeds' become an almost obsolete conventionalism, wherever it is recognized at all ?

The fall in the cotton market here has put a quietus on business. No body want3 to sell cotton under ten cents. A few farmers got in yester-r day morning before they heard the price was off. Only a few bales were sold, the balance was either dumped off the wagons or car ried home to wait for a better price. The farmers are entirely independ- ent They have paid their accounts and most of them now are carrying their money to their wives or deposit ing it in the banks. This town has evidently taken a step backward. Seven saloons have been licensed to sell whiskey, and several have already begun business. j Its strange that a town with so ma n V wrrr Intollicent oitiATia should takQ guch ' A majority of the oters would now, if they had a chance, put a dispensary In the town, Tne mistake was, they did not do this, instead of town dry. attempting to carry the We hear much comment upon the course taken by Judge Boyd in refer ence to the revenue officers. That he I is doing more 'to weaken the Repub j publican party than any other ihflu ! ence at work in the state," seems to be the general conclusion. The sur mise of many Is that if he persists i in this course he may get promoted , to a higher position at no distant day. Only a limited amount of independent action will be tolerated by any politi cal organization. Promotion is, as a rule, the diplomatic course resorted to correct such tendencies on the part of any obstreperous public servant. We hear some talk of a graded ?.hool in this town. Such talk helped to tarry the town for the saloons, but that may be the last of it. It looks as if It would be a great pity to ruin a good school like the id this town by submitting for it a graded system. There is nothing which needs reforming so much as the methods of many of the graded schools. I am reminded to say this by a remark of a travelling man who stops writing up his orders to his house long enough to say the "average graded school is a fraud of the first water." Coninuing this "knight of the grip" remarked: "I have bought books enough for my little girl to make a rural library and she can neither spell nor cipher." I notice the farmers when they reach town and find cotton selling for less than ten cents, they either dump It out without selling it or carry it back home. Ten cents for cotton seems to be like six per cent, interest for money, about i what is right and just. At least, it seems that "Jordan" j 1- ralher a hard road for the bears to j travel. ! vilen the farmer prospers we are nil rt nrn nr bee cimpDecfnl on 1-of -fVia whole country is interested in his get - ting a good price for what he sells. I am writing Sunday night. I do not suppose it's any harm. I went to church once today, and that is enough. If one hears a good sermon it's enough, and If it is not good, its cer tainly enough of that sort. I preceive that this is a very religious town. You cannot ' buy here on Sunday a cigar or a limeade. But yesterday and tomorrow you could and can buy all the mean liquor you are looking for. It seems that people want to be re- . H&ious on Sundays whatever they may do on week days. In this they are no worse than were the Scribes and the Pharasees of old, but about like them. "' A pmtieman called my attention yesterday Xo what made my heart sad: Waiving "up-the street was an old sol :.?r who had followed Lee and Jack son in many a hard-fought battle. His eyes were glassy, and the slobber run c own upon his gray beard almost to the hem of his farment. Just be hind him came a boy, not over 13 or I4 years old, actually so drunk that it took all the street to accommodate him. As he passed the same gentle man remarked: The saloon man works them from the cradle to the grave. The day is coming when whiskey will be managed by the best i and most stringent laws and men will not be allowed to accumulate states at such fearful cost to the whole com munity. Court meets in -the morning. It may be we shall have something else for your readers by the close of the term. The Post is read by many of the peo ple here and its conservative and straightforward course is making for it new friends every day. "ALIQUIS." Wadesboro, N. C, Oct. 7.
