SUBORDINATING NORTH CAROLINA
PORTS.
The recent reported statement from
1 Washington, D. C. that a movement
' was under way to introduce some meas
ure, which had for its purpose the
. abolishment of the port collectors of
customs, at Wilmington, Beaufort and
Elizabeth City, making instead depu
ties at these ports, who should Yeport
to the district collector at Norfolk,
Va , is a matter demanding the serious
attention of every North Carolinian.
It ia uot probable that a bill involving
such a scheme could pass Congress, but
it n a c.umerual reflection upon this
State, that such a bill should be con
templated, much less introduced.
Of the business done at the port of
. Wilmington, the Mtssenger says:
The cast six months has been a rec-
- ord breaker at this port and the idea of
Wilmington being made a sub ot Nor
folk is truly amusing when the fact is
known that the foreign export business
of Norfolk for the past fiscal year, ac
cording to the custom house reports,
was $7,000,000 as compared to $17,500.-
QJO from this port. From June 30th
until February 1st the number of for
; sign vessels visiting this port was only
two less than for the fiscal year ending
June 30th last. The duties collected
from June 30th to February 1st, 1906,
were three times as great as for the
entire previous year. The Willard Bag
and Manufacturing Company receives
annually an enormous amount of hemp
from India and they are now having all
of this shipped direct to this port in
stead of going to New York and then
. being reshipped to Wilmington by
water or rail. The import duty on
. hemp used by this firm annually
amounts to $40 000. This in ' itself is
Juite an item. - Wilmington ranks
ourth in the United States as a cotton
exporting port. ;
- While Beau f oi t and Elizabeth City
will not make such a showing as WF
. mington, there is no reason for their
, subordination to a small port in another
State. However little the actual dan
ger for legislation affecting North
Carolina Ports of . Customs, it is well
to be protected against such dangers,
the more so, that there are men and
newspapers in this State, that would
not raise any protest, if this port busi-
. ness supremacy could be turned to
wards Norfol. The very talk or
rumor of this subordinating Wilming
ton, Beaufort, and Elizabeth City, is
hurtful in its effect upon these ports,
therefore not even a bill ought to be
- permitted to be introduced in Congress,
with any ulterior motive against these
. ports of this State.
IS SOCIALISM TO BE FAVORED IN
THIS STATE,
The report of the commissioners of
Forsyth county, in refusing to grant
the court house for a lecture to be de
livered by Mother Jones, on the ground
that "we are opposed to the court
house being used for continued agita
tion of Socialism, "is. significent, and
indicates that Socialism is attracting
audiences in North Carolina, when
speakers on the subject come to ad
dress the people. '
'' A few weeks ago, at Greensboro,
Eugene V. Debs addressed a crowded
court house on Sjcialism, and made a
decided impression. The speaker who
has-been refused the court house at
. Winston-Salem, is also to speak at
Greensboro, and no doubt the action of
the Forsyth commissioners will give
her a larger audience.
Just what objection there can be to
a lecture or talk on Socialism, must be
for each individual mind to determine.
Ia the inntance of Mother Jones, it
rimy be that there whs objection in
IVr-'yth to a woman

it is well for the authorities in those
cities in which speakers on Socialism
seek to address audiences, not to set
down all such speakers as waving red
flags, or being members of anarchist
societies. '..;'''
The actions of the great corporations,
the conduct of the multi-millionaires in
braving and daring public opinion, and
netting themselves above the masses
of the people, amenable to law, as
they may wish, tends to pro
promote Socialism, and even in the
lower .classes to create anarchistic
feelings, which with a continuation of
rough riding over the rights of the
people by corporations and the extreme
ly rich, means an outbreak some day,
and such an outbreak means ruin for
those who have disregarded the laws,
and defiied public opinion.
MUNICIPAL EXPANSION PER TRANS
P0RTATI0N FACILITIES.
If there is to be a Greater New Bern
and this is not a matter of doubt, then
this new and larger city must come
through an expansion which shall gain
its success from transportation facili
ties, by which the sections immediate
ly adjoining New Bern are to be
brought in close and convenient com
munication with the business centers
of this city. " "" " '
Present local conditions demand this
expansion through the service of trans
portation facilities. ' The first l063'
condition is the congestion which exists
throughout the residential portion of
the city, vacant lots being very few,
and building lots being practically none.
This causes high prices for every
kind of property, and as the popula
tion is constantly on the increase,
houses to rent are fewer each month,
and this means higher rents, and this
increase in rent is growing beyond the
wage increase.
A second local condition is that the
present citv area for residences is
hemmed in by the colored population,
These citizens are fixtures, either own
ing their own houses, or else renting
them, and so making this boundary
one which cannot be easily changed,
and the relief can only be secured by
going beyond, opening up new subdi
visions, and connecting these subdi
visions with New Bern by an electric
car system, which will mean an easy
and quick access to the home and of
fice for those who will buy and build in
these subdivisions. " j
The prospect for one or more subdi
visions is practically assured, and to
complete their success, to give New
Bern the opportunity to develop, in
that most needed way, the ownership
of homes, there must be some scheme
promoted in which an electric car sys
tem may be built in this city, and con
necting with every adjoining subdivis
ion that may be opened up for settle
ment.
. There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable,
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease and pre
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment,- Hall's Catarrh Cure

IN BEHALF CF THIRD DISTRICT.
Congressman C. R, Thomas Makes A Strong
Plea for Tills Section.
(Correspondence to Richmond Timer-
' ' ; ; ' Dispatch.
" Washington, D. C the speech made
by representative Charles R. Thomas,
of the Third North Carolina District, in
the House yesterday, in support of the
proposition to reduce the tariff on arti
cles imported into this country from
the Philippines, and in advocac of reci
procal trade relations with- other coun
tries, for the sake of the South, was
one of the best arguments that has
been made by any Southern man since
the Philippine tariff bill came up for
discussion. In fact, there has scarcely
been a .speech made on the subject
which contained more real "ma' than
that delivered by Mr. Thomas, He
made clear the necessity of wider mar
kets for the products of the South, and
the impossibility of obtaining them
under the high protective policy of the
United States. Mr. Thomas was grant
ed thirty minutes and his time was exr
tended ten minutes; so interested were
the memScrs in his remarks, an inter
est Bhown by the warm applause which
he received when he concluded. '
Mr. Thomas said he would support
tho bill because it had the endorsement
of Mr. Williams; the Democratic floor
leader, and the other Democrats of the.
Ways aad Means Committee, provided
the Democratic substitute bill should
fail to pass and also because of a care
ful study of the provisions of the meas
ure. -
-.V'-', :
PLEA FOR SOUTHERN FARMER:
From the Duplin Journal:
Mr. Thomas made a strong plea for
the Southern farmer and the Southern
cotton seed oil industry. , He declared
that if the Republican party would not
allow the Democrats to revive the high
schedules of the Dingley law, and would
not revise it themselves, they should at
least give the South the benefit of reci
procity with foreign countries, and thus
open up new markets for the entire
country especially the South, which re
ceived so few benefits from protection,
In this way the Republicans could show
they wrenot a negative or sectional
party. -y -
, He referred to important tariff chan
ges which have recently taken place in
Germany, France, Austria-Hungary
and other countries, showing they were
all against the interest of the American
farmer, prohibiting the corporation of
American products, and that this pro
tective policy - was also closing the
doors of the entire world against the
manufacturers of this country, so that
we will eventually have to buy and sell
among ourselves alone. '
' The plea made by General Grosve-
nor, of Ohio, in his speech, J,that Ger
many will not be compelled to buy
from us, was not correct, Mr. Thomas
as the Argentine Republic, so rapidly
growing in prosperity, was producing
enough wheat and meat to supply all
German's needs. He sent to theclerk.s
desk and had read an article- showing
that Swift & Company, of Chicago, in
view of the German tariff on imports
from America, were arranging to have
their meat products exported to the em
pire from Argentine. ; c
, He quoted letters from the Chamber
of Commerce .and the Merchant's Asso
ciation of New York to the New Bern
Cotton Seed Oil Mills, of New Bern, N.
C, representing that the effect of the
new German and European tariff would
be to absolutely destroy the American
cotton seed oil industry, which had
grown to millions of dollars in value.
