In the Dreyfui case the optimists have won a moat signal victory over the pessimists. Surely ro righteous -cause ever had a darker outlook then did that of Dreyfus a few months ego. But Truth and Justice are eternal; though crushed to earth they will rfce again. So Dreyfus is to hive a new trial and bi3 percccutors are likely to fare badly. Our daily papers of the 10th devoted from three to eight columns to a de scription of a prize fight in New York City and from two to three inches to the great and noble work of the Peace Conference at the Hague. But of course we are a civiUzd people and are wholly justified in snc:rrg at the degraded(l) Spaniards because they oc casionally find delight in a bull figh'. ! The graduating class of Trinity Col lege this year was composed of eleven voune men and one young lady. The m ij young lady was Miss Isabel EJias, daughter of the Hon. Kope Elias. The graduating class of Elon College also numbered twelve; of Davidson College, twenty two; of Wake Forest College, thirty eeven ; of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, seventeen; of the University, fifty. Oa the whole, the record is very good. The Seab ard A:r Line has been granted an ir junction by Judge 8imon ton, (who, so far as we know, has never yet refused a request made by any wealthy corporation) restraining the North Carolina Corporation Com mission from carrying into effect the recent order reducing the minimum shipment on fertilizers from 15 to 10 tons per carload. The injunction, which is temporary, will be finally heard before JuJge Simonton at Ashe ville, July 15 It will b9 remembered that The Pro gressive Farmer some weeks ago ex pressed the opinion that the nullifica tion of the grandfather clause, or tec tion 4 of the proposed Constitutional amendment, would not invalidate the remaining sections, and would there fore establish an educational qualifica tion for all voters at this time. Further investigation has convinced us that such is not the case. Tee people vote upon the amendment as a whole and the Supreme Court, in passing upen i 8 constitutionality, should, and wo be lieve will, consider it as a whole. Mr. R. H. Bobertson, of Stoneville. renewing, writes: "I like your paper better than ever and will try to get you a club of subscribers." That ie the kind of tribute that encourages us appreciation that takes on an active form. The Progressive Farmer em ploys no traveling agents, and by means of thn and economical manage ment the price of the paper is kept at $1 per year. Were it not so, we should be obliged to increase the subscription price. In consideration of this saving, we hope each subscriber will speak a good word for the paper wherever possible and endeavor to get his neigh bora to subscribe. Sjnd us the names and addresses of your acquaintances who you think should take the paper; let U3 send them some sample copies; then call on them for their subscrip tions. Let U3 hear from you. The strongest argument yet pro duced for the constitutionality of the grandfather clause of the proposed amendment is found in the fact that the United States Supreme Court sus tained the Mississippi law, "whioh," as the Post says, "gees much further in its actual enforcement and opera tions than our proposed law can go or will be carried. Under the Mississippi law the regis :rar is given absolute dis cretion to say whether a voter, though he can read the Constitution, 'under stand' its meaning or not." In other worda, Micii33ippi haa a law which re quires the voter to interpret a portion ul ius o.aio ocasiuuiion. ine regie -trar appointed oy the machine oske the questions which are easy or diffi cult, according to his desire and de cides whether or not he will ellow ycu to vote. If such a law is constitutional, it 6eems that we need have no fears for the grandfather clause. We are glad to eee that the North Carolina amendment seems to contain no loop holes for fraud of the Mississippi kind. Indeed, North Carolinians would not submit to the tyranny of the Missis fiippi law. NEIGHBORHOOD PRIDE. National pride and State pride are often referred to, and truly they de serve commendation, but greater than either 8tate or National pride should be neighborhood pride a form of patriotism which we fear is very much neglected. Every neighborhc od shoul d have good roads, good schools and an educated yeomanry the things which Dr. Hartzog in hi3 addreci at our Ag ricultural and Mechanical Co'Iege la3t week pronounced the three . greatest needs of the South. The humblest citi zsn laboring to secnre theco things is ii his sphere doing a work as noble as any that ever absorbed the interests of statesmen or here 28. A neighbor hood where the young have first class educational advantages, where the older read and study the q lestions of the day, and where a1! have the ad van'esci of g; id reads will never go backward. o- Active operations iu the Pr;!:pp:nes will be continued by the Americans notwithstanding the ia;ny ze?".on. DO YOUR PART. If. with aH other industries and trades forming combines and organ izirg for purpc?c3 defensive and off en rive with greater rapidity than hps ever before been t nown if, with these things before them, and farmers end laboiers cannot ece the necc sity for joining together for mutual bsnefit and promotion, then surely the condi tion of agriculture is hopele. What, dear reader, do your brother farmers think of this matter? Can you not get more of them to join your Sub. Alliance? Or if your Sub. is dor mantcauyou not get enough together to reorganize it? This matter should be attended to at ence. Next month the County AllL'-ices meet their last meetog before the State Alliance Be sure to have your sub in good working order this month end report progrees at the county meeting. It is not a great tpk You do not take world upon your shoulders. Bat let each realiz3 h s duty and do his part in his immediate neighborhood, among his acquaintar C2S and associates, and all will be well. Personal work is the great nee i cf the Alliance. ABOUT PEOPLE. Sberiff John A. 8ims, cf Person county, was a welcome ceUer at our office a few days ago. Mr. Sims says he will ODC0&3 the constitutional amendment. The death of Mrs V. C. Ayer, mother of Auditor H. W. Ayer and Dr. J. M. Ayer, which occurred in Raleigh 'rst week cast a gloom over theent re city. Mis Ayer had a wide circle of friends. Tne Progressive Farmer extends 6j m pathy. Hon. George E Boggs, of Haywood County, late Populist Congressional candidate m ihe ninth district who has been Ji bad health for sometime, was impioving when last heard from. Bro. B 'ggs will support the ccnstilu ticnal amendment end will give bis reasons for tbis action in an early issue cf The Progressive Farmer. Two of "the old guard" called last week to renew thsir subscriptions and encourage us with kind words. They were Mr. A. D Hulin, cf Wake county, and Mr. A. H. Gro3e, of Moore county. Both sussribsi for the paper just af ter it wa3 established at Winston and have been reading it ever since. At the commencement of the A & M. College last week a gold watch was presented to President Holladsy by the faculty. Tnis was a splendid tribute to his efficiency and unceeiing labor for the College, of which he has been since is beginning the head. President 3ol laday has done his work well and the p3ople of ISorth Carolina regret that he is to eever his connection with the institution whose success in a great measure is due to his labors. R3v. J. L Burns has been succeeded by Mr. C. C. Cherry n keeper of the capitol. Mr. Burns has made a most faithful efficer and the capitol grounds wre never better kept than they were under h's control. Mr. Jno. A Sime, lata chief clerk in the State Auditor's effice, heiaJcobeen succeeded by Mr. R C. Rivers. Mr. Sime hrs been faithful in the di' charge of his dutfca end his retirement to his home near Ccncord is a source of regret ;o h?s Paleigh friends. Perhaps it is not tco lata to refer in th3 connection to the work of the lata Commissioner of Labor S a'ciSiici, Mr. J. Y. Hamilek, whece efficiency wrs recognized by men of all poMtical faiths. His euccr:3or, Mr. B. B. Lacy, is capable and worthy, but he will hardly make a better record than that made by Mr. Hamrick. Among the now amve'9 in pieces of public trust are Mr. W. M. Allen, of Wadescoro, and Mr. 8. E Asbuty, of Gastonia, as assistants to the 8tate Chemist; and Mr. W. A. Graham, Jr., of Machpelah, who has secured a posi tion in the Agricultural Department. A DEEP-LAID AND CRAFTY PLOT EXPOSED. The American Cotton Company, which owns and controls the patents on the new system of cylindrical bal ing for cotton has tc3n keeping rather quiet for some months past, but it is evident that it has nevertheless been patiently and persistently perfecting end pushing its deep laid end crafty schemes for getting the cotton farmers in its power. Now The Progressive Farmer has never denied that the cylindrical bale is in many respects a decided improvement over the old method of baling. But we have looked, and do now lcok, with great and in creasing suspicion upon the movements of the company which controls the machinery and patent on the new round bale process. From our stand point it is clear that the American Cot ton Company, end not the 'armer, will e;cure rM the profits derived from the advantage o of the new system. To ttrnk that .'armers could with cylin drical boles eccure greatly reduced frefght rid insurance raf .3 ie Indeed a Dleeing thought; but what shall it prcfit the farmers of the SDuth to gain all these things and loco their inde pendenco only to to compelled to pay heavier tribute r this new combine, which with aching, companionate heart, - longing to Hke them under the shelter of its protecting (?) wing? How pleaa'og indeed the prosprct- that 4,the poor cotton planter now has an ally among the great e orporatione Of courc 3, you know that all tiusts are cent by Div "ne W" to act as the farmer's allies! Or at lert they say so. Though wa have more than once re ferred to thh matter, we will again, in order to refresh the memo of our readers, star 3 the object' end methods of this Company. First then, The American Cotton Comprny, whose President is Jno. E. Scarles, Sec'y Treas. of the great Sugar Trut which as "the farmer's ally" hn favored him by relieving him of milli ns of dollars for which he could find no possible use this Company, with this President, owns and controls the patents on tb'i new method of baling. The first thing it did to arouse sua picion was to secure ihi chart 3r in tbe State of New Jersey, whoeo laws are so favorable to the formation of trusts, instead of in the State of Iliino,', wh re its manufacturing plant is situated. Next it announced that it would not sell its machinery, but would ''nstead lease the nec::aiy machines to locl corporations in various parts of the South, on terms wh.ch it dictates. Because the round ba'e will be easier handled and less liable to fire it is ex pected that insurance and tramporta tion companies will give it greatly re duced rates. In short, as the New Orleans Item says: "Insurance companic: and transpor tation lines will bo induced or forced to refuse insurance and transport favors to all cotton not cylindr ciliy baled. A grower cannot therefore sell his cotton to others than these who own this pressing proces3 and the pressing plants. By th-'s means the Searles Tiust gets a cinch on the price of every pound of American cotton, and puts every grower in its power. In the pre3enca of this company, which can, by a flash of the wire, scoop mil lions by putting down the price of the raw cotton while in the hands of the producars and re scoop other millions when the consumer must purchase by putting it up, even the Standard Oil Trust pales into insigtificenca." Other great papers and unmuzz'ed men have pointed out the evils of the Company, and only last week the Bal timore Sun said: "This corporation, it is understood, will refuse to sell any of the baling machines, but proposes to lease or rent them to local corporations in various cities in the cotton State If this is done, by regulating tha renta's, this great central corporation could regu late the charges for boMng in all the States of the Union. In this same manner the great telephone monopoly rented its instruments to the various lecal companies, end prices were kept up to an oppreT" a rate all over the Union until tho paints began to ex pire, when in some communkies a merure of relief was obned. "If tae sama system is inaugurated by the cotton-baling syndicate, it will only rcma;n lor the powerful interests combined in that enterpii3e to induce the leading cotton exchange : to require cylindrical baling. That done, the cotton planters of the United 8tatecs will ba hlpk33 in the hands of the monopoly and will have to pay what ever price for baling the syndicate may see fit to demand. The legisla tureof Texei h?s undertaken to pro tect the planters of that Stat3 from such a condition by requiring that the baling machines operated there must to cold and not leased. Tnis may be entirely unconstitutional. If it is, it would be well to find some proper and constitutional method to meet the same end, and not to rely upon the ! legislatures to rezulate charges. That has been undertaken in regard to tele phone rentals, but the telephone com panics have generally been awe in some way to circumvent or aeceat any .nRh .tLt w.it hft9 been made. What can be accomplished by a monopololy !n dealing with planters ia illa., K fU l rf fh Mt. ton seed market." mL.

If they at once discontinue the publication of the: o articles they should be excused and their act attributed to careless ness: if they do not, ? Most of the3e papers are continually "fighting trusts:" let them prove their faith bv their works. The rirst article in this series in which the trust pays the wretched editor to endorse its methods is a clip ping from the Commercial Appeal, of Memphis, Tenn , with tbe title: "LIKE 3 THE AMERICAN COM PANY'3 PfiE3." 'An Arkansas Firm Used it Last Season With Great Satisfaction."

And the other articles are like unto these. Now, no editor could be accused of improper motives were he to place this ad among other ads. with an advertis ing head, state that such are the claims made by the Company and reserve the right to say what he pleaeed re garding the Company himself. But such is not allowed.

And we also ask the support of all honest editors end publishers. The ineficiency of lynching in its most terrible foim as a preventive of crime it is supposed by some to sup prezi, is well illustrated by recent events in Georgia. Since the burning of Sam Hose, crime3 such as the one for which he was lynched have multi- plied with wonderful rapidity and dig- patches indicate that the white wo- men of that State are panio stricken, THE THINKERS. - J PERSONAL PURITY AN INTEG i rity. i A. n k ,0;,,,An0 Pompey the Great wasaconepicuoua example of stern morality and Bturdy mragmF m -S" - - When Rome I RaCV BUU UiBUUUCOlJ. was the synonym for If cense, when armies were SO depraved that lust and . - . , . , , nvmiiiC uau v. - " j - - obie sentiments he kept himself free tm iue wuwiuiuBMu6 l Tn anoob-r Cf CiT hl P.amnaiCIl B&rainBG i" o r a , Mithridates, in which he restored the I emnire's Dre&tiee. conquering all oppo- I oitinn onrl rlnnT Incr tbp RfimCIl COlOrS m - mr . i 0 - i uwiuwo. iuu6 us wq iegiSfth, I . n "C TPmrxiiAa fallal iu. , .

If you want to learn whether the da'1" papers are really opposed to trmts, as they loudly prcclaim, wait until the subject cf abolishing tbem corre3 up in the proper quarter. They will still declare themselves opposed to trusts, and alco opposed to any leg elation on the subject unless they are permitted to designate its tenor. Give them this permission and they will suggest means they know to be lm practicable. This dess not apply to all dailies, but the most of them, and it is not necessary to namo those to which it does appJy the people know them, The fact is, the dailies to which we re fer are DOt opposed to trusts and mo I i.- j. -li m i. a i- U"P" xrusia tmu muuopuuea are a Die co commana an tne newspaper support they nr?d and to designate the manner in which it shall ba exercised. There is but one Divid these giants fear, and that is the people. If they can fool tb3 people through the daily papers aiittle longer, they maybe able to defy the in a little later. If the party in power is pledged to maintain a proctective tariff, we will be taught that the only way to destroy trusts is to abolish the tariff. If a low tariff party is in power, then the only way to reach trusts is by Federal legisla tion, if the Attorney General favors trusts, or by slate legis'ition, if the hher Federal courts favor them. The dairies in question are in favor of wip ing trusts from the face of the earth, provided it is attempted in a way that is sure to fail. The dailies that consis ronuy oppoeo tiu&is ere ail the more conspicuous because they are few. Exchange. ANTI TRUST L.EGISLATON.

Oa its face it appear to be a strong measure, calculated to put a stop to the formation of trusts. But when it comes to be tested in the courts, and the matters proven which first must be established before the I trust can be shown, under that lawf I to be illegal, it will fail and mu-t fail in Michigan as everywhere eleo. Here is a remark of the correspond ent at L?nsing with reference to this propesed bill which is most significant. Kefernng to the fact that the bill is more than likely to become a law, he continues, 'And the executive officers of the state are in a mood to enforce it to the letter."

A principal duty of the echoola is to indicate a respect for law and train to habits of obedience. Nowhere is obe dience to law so indispensable as in a democracy, in which the force of arms is replacad by the force of public opin ion. L7nching once used &s a puni.Ii ment for a single crime only, and (i cused by good citizens as beicg tns only fit expression of a righteous iniig nation and holy wrath has recently sectione, and for any and every cnoe or suspicion of crime. Of course, this is only the natural and necessary eon sequence of what we have been tv iar with for many years. If tbe la may be disregarded in one case, then it may be disregarded in another; ana mob3 are not apt to make fine diatinc tions. If the best citizens those com monly regarded as sober and respect able may, with impunity and the im plied approval of the local press, take the law into their own hands and com mit murder and other mob violence, then we need expect nothing better from those whose sense of responsibili ty is less developed. If good meD deliberately disregard the law, wca may we expect of bad men? The only safety for life and property lies in a wholesome respect for the laws of t&e land, erd the schools should do all w their power to counteract the spirit of lawlessness, which seems tobeincreaa ing at an alarming rate.
