The casting out of the bucket shop - from the South, eliminated a specula tive . force that was harmful In its every effect, upon those who attempt-, ed to win at a game that was for one side, and injurious upon the commer cial and industrial trade of the South. - That, the cotton manufacturer feels that every speculative influence upon - his business is harmful, lsquite evl lent By speculative influenca is meant the trade in futures, upon sim ply an exchange of loss or profit basis, determined by .the fluctuations In prices, ungoverned as to actual spot cotton delivered. The meeting in Atlanta, ot the cot ton manufacturers convention, Octo ber Cth, 7th and 8th, la one of the greatest significance and importance. The fact that over one hundred spin ners will attend, who come from Other countries, proves the movement to be one that is likely to be far reaching in what It may do. The English districts of Lancashire and Manchester will be , . . i well represented, and perhaps the sentiment of the chairman of the Eng lish party expresses the fellng and reasons, why so large and fully rep resentative a gathering of the world's spinners, is to meet in convention. The Englishman said in an . interview when he reached New York city: "The burden imposed by these speculators on all who are legitimate ly concerned in the progress of the Industry, second in Importance only to , agriculture itself, cannot be ex aggerated. It has led to the disturb- ance of business and the rnin of many, including many of the " speculators themselves." To such lengths has tills extended, that the need of a world wide organization to combat the op erations of the speculators was brought home to Europe four years aso." " It would look as if the time of cot ton "corners," and the tying up im- , mense quantities of the raw cotton, with the result of congested trade, and the ruin of the legitimate, follow ed by, unnatural fluctuations In prices, with failures of trade houses and gen eral trade demoralization, was a thing of the past There will be opportunity for the' cotton grower and manufac turer, to earn legitimate profits, If the . spinners shall win their .point nd eliminate the speculator who ma at tempt to change price conditions re gardless of the legitimate and logical situation In the way of supply 'and demand. - ' - .. ,' '" ; AD BATES AND SUBSIDY BATES FOR NEWSPAPERS. , The recent development In, the Southern Railway rate contest that a Raleigh newspaper had received thousands instead of hundreds of dol lars for advertising the Southern Railway Company, has provoked vari ous comments from the North Car olina Estate "press. The question of what are advertising rates, and what are subsidy rates must be one of end less controversy. .The publisher has his schedule rate which is shown when h advertiser asks for it 'But f'T urtmient, may not the publisher riii iw (i ",iy, mid wiih It a check Or n ' ' ' Unit the cos y as n-nt be i--l !'" -r more f-m-s, an J In ex. ' i i:.c i ' -r to I: ., :ve the ' : I'll- I v ; !i ! ' i c ; '," ' ' I I - i i? if ! In- f tack, or of such a character as to be unprintable, , because of its subject matter. Few publishers who have been la - the business .any length of time, but have Um chance to know that matter can be sent for publica tion that does not come under the ad schedule rule, but may be sent as a help to the publisher. Can It be considered os a subsidy? Or 1 it a matter ot subsidy when the candidate for office sends his check and copy, and says nothing as to ad rates? ; This is not in explanation or exten uation of the Raleigh affair.-' Regular business charges ; prevalL In every trade ' and ," profession.' The y bank ra(e of Interest is nominally six per cent . The borrower pays the six per cent, accepts, the discount off, and pays the amount ' charged for the "trouble" of making the paper) s" It is ("regular" because I is accepted on both sides, and yet "Irregular" from the law point.- From the. Raleigh affair, the start ling point Is not that a corporation employs a newspaper for its f own seemingly needed protection, but the going about it to place its newspaper in a position that might put other newspapers In an equally embarrass ing situation, though not guilty. News paper defense of corporations was never so unpopular as It Is now, but if an occasional newspaper may see something favorable to some corpora tion, it ought net to be charged as being subsidized. The North Carolina Press has too often v been charged wih "being subsidized by " railroads. and yet the only case ever shown in the least true is the Raleigh one, and the tgnomy in this seems, in being discovered, rather than In the pre vious suspicious of its being owned by . a railroad corporation, though these suspicions may have not lacked in strength of being' more than just suspicions. " OYER CROWDED GRADED SCHOOL ROOMS. ' The fact that the white graded school begin? Its first week of the new school jear in an over crowded condition, may be a surprise to some That such a situation would be quite probable, has been foretold in these columns, many times last spring. ; It is no surprise to Principal Craven, for he, has frequently said that ' the school equipment for the schood pop ulation, was upon a too narrow mar gin, that at any time certain grades would likely become over crowded, and there could only be one thing done, to turn away the applicants, unless provision was made in ad vance. "- i ' The Journal's record on the educa tional advancement in New 'Bern Is known. It was the promoter of .the graded School in the first 'place. ft has ' watched the school every week, month and year. It has advocated measures at times, not meeting. the approval of the trustees, because there 'seemed to be too much money expenditure "Involved In -the Jounal's suggestions. The exchange of certain school property for the property of the opera house, so that the school might have its property as much to gether as possible, was a measure that , nearly succeeded. If he trade had been made both sides today would have been gainers, and the education al Interests placed In position, that are now Impossible, for no property Is now available that adjoins the grad ed school property. .The Old Metho dist church property offered an excel lent opportunity for purchase, and a splendid location for a school audi torium, with additional school rooms. It Is now goni ;, , .',' .' ; But what of the situation today? The rush of would be pupils, is going on. Someteachers have (0 to 100 per cent more pupils than they ought to have. It Is unjust to the teachers. It is harmful to the pupils. Educa tional interests suffer through ' such a state. There can be relief afforded, it the trustees will biuld or have built a school for those children who now come from the Dunn field section. The city is growing In that direction, and a school building In that section would- provide for the children need ing, asking sad entitled to a school, and its provhlons for education.1 The present situation at the Graded School demands relief. Such an over crowded state calls for action on the part of the trustees, and Immediately. t f f ' t. , t. out f I "i ! ; ': v . 1 l il i V "Ollt if 1," Is ill 1 f ' 1 1 f !'s LIST OP LETTERS.

' In a recent editorial discussing tbe construction ot the canal between Hamburg and"-Bremen. by the Ger- Lttitn gcvernment Involving a tremeu dous ' outlay of money but . saving transportation charges vastly In ex cess " of' the outlay, the Philadelphia Press said;- " ': ' r ' ' ' ;"H is a singular thing that Amer- ioa has, uv-ta this time, been sa blind to the value and advantages of Inland waterways. We hejr now and then of the need of the deepening-' of a river to make a harbor for a city Whose site was chosen . before . the day ot large ships; ct a canal to Join o lakes, of a safe Interior route i fojr war Vessels, paralleling . the At labtic coast from Boston -to North Carolina, but surprisingly . little Is sidd or thought ot In. regard to any gtjneral system In Inland waterway. Nd amount of computation can make It advantageous to neglect the Water way, and we shall add vastly to pur resources,' industrial and commercial It we open our' eyes to obvious facts." (The obvious facts to which the Press refers, are in the admitted inability ot the railroads to meet the demands ot trade "and commerce. " The volume of business In the United States has I grown Co the posnt of outstripping the railway in its capacity, for trans' portatlon and the previous neglect of the waterways, has given place to an earnest demand for their adequate i lltinrAVMnont iiiiIah A..J 1 1 I improvement under a fixed policy of the general government In which the merit ef the stream, Its capability for uiiiutwuubi aim ine tonnage iv-woulU bear," it Improved will -be the teat supplied to the question of Improve- In shaping that policy, in bringing it to the attention of tbe general gov ernment and more than all In the resuits following, the National Rivers and Harbors Congress has done a great work.; Not the least part of the work has been In displacing hes lect of the inland waterways and' sub stituting an intelligent appreciation of their value to the trade and com merce end complete development of the limitless resources of the coun try. The 1 improved ? Inland waterway would not be antagonistic to the rail way There is a volume cf trade and commerce, more than enough for all with freight "congestions " impossible with the inland waterways adequately improved and with ' freight charges reduced, thereby lessening the cost of v the raw material or the finished product to the consumer. - ' . ,'..

Duffy has had his personal guar antee to refund the money If it was not satisfactory, but none has come back, ; showing the wonderful cura tive power jf this remedy, i " It is only recently, on tBe nersiatent advice ot F, S. Duffy, that Dr.jHow-. ard's specific has been sold for less than 60 cents, but he urged that it would be better to secure, a quick introduction in New Bern in this way and the result has . proven his' good judgment ' ;'.
